Unexpectedly, Lu Xuan slowly shook his head and calmly said, "I haven't searched the entire Elixir Hall yet. I'll see if there are any fish that slipped through the net."
Yang Weili was so amused by Lu Xuan's words that he almost vomited blood. He anxiously advised, "Don't worry about the elixirs at this time. Even if there were any, they would have been taken by so many martial artists."
However, Lu Xuan was unusually stubborn. "Senior Yang, you go first. We'll catch up later."
"Sigh, you … sigh. I'll go first. You guys hurry up and catch up." Yang Weili was so anxious that he stomped his feet. He originally wanted to use Lu Xuan's powerful strength as a deterrent. This way, even if he found any treasures, it would not be snatched away. However, now that Lu Xuan was stubborn, he had no other choice. He did not want others to beat him to it.
Aside from Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing`er, Yang Weili was the last to leave. At this moment, everyone had entered the ancient forest. Looking at the empty palace, Lu Xuan's suppressed excitement finally erupted. He grabbed Zhao Bing`er's hand and quickly rushed back. "Bing`er, follow me."
Zhao Bing`er hurriedly followed and asked, "What's wrong? Why don't we go to the ancient forest first? "
To be honest, Zhao Bing`er was a little puzzled by Lu Xuan's choice. When everyone was looking for elixirs, Lu Xuan chose to cultivate. When everyone was looking for treasures, Lu Xuan thought of looking for elixirs instead. It seemed that his reaction was always a beat slower than others.
Lu Xuan did not answer. He only pulled Zhao Bing`er forward quickly. Zhao Bing`er was also helpless. She could only follow Lu Xuan. Anyway, the ancient forest was so big. Those martial artists would not be able to find everything in a short time.
Soon, the two of them returned to the original hall. The huge cauldron stood alone in the same place, as if it was waiting for its new master.
Lu Xuan pulled Zhao Bing-er to the front of the cauldron and said in a serious tone, "Bing-er, guard the back. If anyone comes in, kill them no matter who they are!"
The value of a pill cauldron was enough to make a fifth-grade sect go crazy for it. With Lu Xuan's current strength, there was no way he could resist it. Therefore, this news could not be spread to anyone other than himself and Zhao Bing`er.
Hearing Lu Xuan's words and seeing where they were standing, Zhao Bing`er, with her intelligence, finally understood. Her eyes widened and she exclaimed, "You want to take the pill cauldron?!"
"That's right!" Lu Xuan said firmly.
Zhao Binger's heart was thumping so hard that she could almost hear her own heartbeat. This was crazy. Lu Xuan actually had the ability to take this priceless cauldron? However, she understood that Lu Xuan had too many tricks up his sleeve. If he could even get his hands on the complete version of the Dark Ice Heart Sutra and the Phoenix Soaring Ninth Heaven Sword Technique, he might really be able to take the pill cauldron.
Now she completely understood why Lu Xuan would suddenly train, and why he would so decisively give up the chance to enter the ancient forest. His goal was this pill cauldron!
Without a moment's hesitation, Zhao Bing`er unsheathed her longsword and turned her head to stare at the entrance of the hall. If anyone appeared, she would not hesitate to kill them. At this moment, there was no room for mercy.
Looking at the pill cauldron that was twice as tall as him, Lu Xuan instantly calmed his heart. He extended both hands and began to wave them in the air. His movements constantly changed, forming hand seals. This was the common method for pill cauldrons recorded in the ancient talisman technique.
As Lu Xuan's hand seals changed, the lid of the pill cauldron, which the combined strength of all the disciples of the Jiuhua Alliance could not lift, suddenly began to move. It was a light sound, but in the spacious hall, it was extremely loud.
Hearing the sound, Zhao Bing`er's heart suddenly jumped. She couldn't help but turn around to look. In an instant, she saw the lid of the pill cauldron trembling. She could not control the joy in her heart. Lu Xuan was really going to move it!
However, remembering her duty, Zhao Bing`er forcibly suppressed her desire to witness this miraculous scene. She continued to stare at the entrance. If Lu Xuan could not move the pill cauldron, then it would have been fine, and it would not have mattered if others found out. But now that Lu Xuan had begun to move it, she could not let anyone else know.
However, Lu Xuan's current situation was not as easy as Zhao Bing`er had imagined. He was shocked to find that other than making the pill cauldron move, he could do nothing else!
This was not because he was not strong enough. Lu Xuan could clearly feel that whether it was his yuan qi or the strength of his soul, they were both extremely abundant. The only explanation for his inability to move the pill cauldron was that the common method was not suitable for this pill cauldron. Or perhaps, this pill cauldron had its own unique method of using it!
How could this be? Lu Xuan's heart asked the exact same question as Long Ming. Although this proved that the pill cauldron was more valuable than he had imagined, so what if it was valuable? If he could not move it, then it could only be placed there, and could not be obtained by him.
Zhao Bing`er was still waiting for Lu Xuan to take the pill cauldron, but Lu Xuan's mind was already in a mess. What should I do, what should I do? He kept asking himself in his heart.
At that moment, Lu Xuan began to change his hand seals for some reason. He switched to the method of using the Taiyi Cauldron recorded in the ancient talisman technique.
He was just trying to save a dead horse. He only knew two sets of techniques. Since the general technique didn't work, he could only gamble on this set of techniques.
However, a miraculous scene that was beyond Lu Xuan's expectations appeared. With the use of the second method, the lid of the pill cauldron moved again, and this time, it was even easier than the first time.
"Rise." Lu Xuan subconsciously said softly. As if hearing his words, the lid of the pill cauldron in front of him slowly flew up and floated in mid-air. A refreshing, intoxicating fragrance wafted over …
Lu Xuan felt like the whole world had gone crazy. What was going on? The Taiyi Cauldron's unique method was able to accomplish what the common method couldn't. Or could it be that he had mixed up the two methods? The one he was using before was the unique method, and the one he was using now was the common method?
Or was it that the unique method of the Taiyi Cauldron was very profound, and some pill cauldrons with unique methods could also use this method to move it?
As for the last possibility, Lu Xuan did not think about it, because he thought it was too absurd. That was … the cauldron in front of him was Taiyi! Tai! Cauldron! The highest quality pill cauldron that the author of the Taiyi Restoration Method had!
Chaotic thoughts rushed into Lu Xuan's mind. He even forgot to put away the pill cauldron. It was only when Zhao Bing`er saw that Lu Xuan had not finished for a long time, and turned around to ask about it that Lu Xuan snapped out of it.
Calming his mind, Lu Xuan calmly formed a hand seal and shouted in a low voice, "Keep!"
As soon as he said this, the huge pill cauldron in front of him suddenly showed a miraculous scene. The pill cauldron that was ten feet tall and seven feet wide began to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. In an instant, it turned into a pocket-sized cauldron that was not even the size of a palm, and fell into Lu Xuan's right hand.
Lu Xuan tossed the cauldron a couple of times. The cauldron's weight was almost negligible. It was as if the cauldron had always been that size. Lu Xuan did not fiddle with it too much and simply put it into his storage ring right away. This time, there were no signs of him not being able to retrieve it. The little cauldron obediently went into his storage ring.
Such a bumpy and smooth journey made Lu Xuan feel as if he was living in a dream. But soon after, his chest was filled with great joy. He had actually successfully obtained this pill cauldron, and the unknown pills within it!
When Zhao Bing`er looked back again, she found that the pill cauldron had disappeared. She hurriedly put away her long sword and ran to Lu Xuan's side. She could not contain her excitement and asked, "You really took it?"
"Yes!" Lu Xuan nodded heavily.
"That's great. I really did not think that you still had such a trump card. No wonder you were so excited before. So it turns out that you have successfully mastered the pill cauldron." Zhao Bing`er showed a rare expression of excitement. She could not help but be happy that she had obtained such a valuable treasure. Compared to this, even the natural treasures in the ancient forest were nothing.
"Let's hurry to the ancient forest. When the time comes, even if someone discovers that the pill cauldron has disappeared, they will not suspect us," Lu Xuan said.
"Yes, I'm afraid they will suspect that disciple from the Jiuhua Alliance, or Ruo Xiangyi and Long Ming." Zhao Bing`er nodded. These people all had the possibility of obtaining the pill cauldron.
The two quickly left the hall and rushed directly to the opened door. They plunged into the lush ancient forest.
"The energy here is so thick. I thought the Profound Ice Pocket Realm had enough energy. I didn't expect it to be even better here." Zhao Bing`er spread out her hands and greedily breathed in the air. It seemed that with every breath, she could feel her energy growing.
Seeing Zhao Bing`er's lively appearance, Lu Xuan couldn't help but smile. They had already entered the ancient forest. There was no one around them. Being in this natural environment, he felt as if his nature had been liberated. Zhao Bing`er also took off her cold mask. She was like a pure and innocent little girl.
"Now I understand why the Jiuhua Alliance has no interest in our Profound Ice Pocket Realm. There must be other places like the Profound Ice Pocket Realm in the Jiuhua Alliance's territory, or even better." Zhao Bing`er walked back to Lu Xuan's side. Having successfully obtained the pill cauldron, the two of them were completely satisfied. They were not like the other warriors who were in a hurry to find the natural treasures.
"Don't you think this place is similar to the Hengduan Mountains where we first met?" Lu Xuan smiled and looked around. He said with regret, "Too bad there are no caves."
Zhao Bing`er knew what Lu Xuan was thinking. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "All forests look the same."
But when she thought back to the caves in the Hengduan Mountains, and the time they lived there, Zhao Bing`er felt a sweet feeling in her heart. It was a beautiful memory that belonged only to her and Lu Xuan.
At that moment, the faint roar of a beast came from afar. Lu Xuan and Zhao Bing`er couldn't help but look at each other. They could see the astonishment in each other's eyes.
"There are monsters here?" Zhao Bing`er said in surprise.
