If these cultivators were really late bloomers with a firm Dao Heart, they would only continue on the path of Martial Dao they had chosen. They would never participate in the Divine Might Sect's entrance test.
Clang!
While Lin Buzheng was slowly climbing the mountain with his hands clasped behind his back, a huge, round object that was as tall as a human suddenly rolled down from the top of the mountain and smashed towards his head.
"What's that?"
Lin Buzheng frowned, but he did not dodge. He stood on the spot and stretched out his muscular arms to support himself. He circulated his Martial Dao True Qi and stopped the object from rolling down.
"So heavy!"
Lin Buzheng frowned. When the object came into contact with his palm, the impact was terrifying. Its weight was at least a few hundred thousand jin.
The object was dark gold in color and felt cold to the touch. It had three legs and several small openings in the middle. It emitted a faint medicinal fragrance …
It was a Medicine Cauldron.
It was rusty and dull, giving off a feeling of vicissitudes and vicissitudes, as if it had been forged for a long time.
Its surface was uneven, and many parts were severely deformed. One could not help but wonder if this Medicine Cauldron could still be used for Alchemy.
"My Medicine Cauldron, my Medicine Cauldron!"
Right at this moment, a weak and flustered female voice came from not far away.
A skinny girl in plain clothes staggered down from the top of the mountain and approached Lin Buzheng.
"I'm sorry, this Medicine Cauldron is too heavy. I didn't hold it properly, so it rolled down the mountain. I hope it didn't hurt you?" The girl bowed to Lin Buzheng and apologized profusely. Her body trembled slightly, as if she was exhausted.
Lin Buzheng shook his head and returned the Medicine Cauldron to the girl. He smiled and said, "It's alright, I'm strong. Even if this Medicine Cauldron is ten times heavier, I can still hold it firmly!"
Lin Buzheng's gaze swept across the young girl's body. He discovered that although this young girl was thin and weak, looked as if she hadn't eaten her fill all year round, and couldn't wear warm clothes, and her clothes had been washed so many times that they had turned white, it couldn't hide her beautiful appearance.
Rumble!
The Avatar formed behind the girl was black, white, and red flames.
They intertwined and covered a radius of several li. It was even bigger and more shocking than the Avatar formed by heaven-defying bloodlines and ancient physiques.
But for some reason, although this Avatar was huge, it was weak on the inside. It had no aura and was extremely blurry, as if it would disappear in the next moment.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble!"
The girl took the Medicine Cauldron from Lin Buzheng with both hands and pushed it towards the top of the mountain.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly ran out of strength. His body tilted, and the medicine cauldron rolled down the slope of the mountain once more. He fell to the ground powerlessly.
Fortunately, at the crucial moment, Lin Buzheng once again reached out and caught the rolling medicine cauldron. He pushed it in front of the young girl, "For you!"
However, this time, the young girl did not take the cauldron. Instead, she sat on the ground, covered her face with her hands, and cried softly, "I can't even lift a cauldron.
His tone was filled with despair, and his aura was in disarray. He looked like he had completely collapsed.
"It's alright. You just need to rest and recover your strength."
Lin Buzheng was tongue-tied. He was quite talented in the field of martial arts, but he had no experience in comforting people. Seeing the girl crying, he could only force himself to comfort her.
"Huhuhu, it's useless!"
"I'm only halfway up the mountain, but I can't hold on any longer. There's no way I can bring this cauldron up to the peak and become an outer disciple of the Divine Might Sect."
"The villagers are right. My fate is not good. My mother died when I was born, and my father died when I was five. I am destined to be a loathsome trash. It is impossible for me to become an alchemist …"
The more the girl spoke, the more desperate she became. In the end, she even burst into tears.
"Don't cry!"
"I have a pet cat here. It's very obedient. I'll lend it to you to play …"
Lin Buzheng thought for a moment and tried to comfort him again, but before he could finish, he was scratched by Xiao Hui.
Lin Buzheng was not a busybody. If the girl was someone else, he would have placed the cauldron aside and left without a word.
But right now, the young girl was extremely polite in their first meeting. Coupled with her pitiful past, Lin Buzheng's heart resonated with her. He couldn't bring himself to leave and leave her alone.
"Girl, where did you get this cauldron?"
At this moment, Xiao Hui's expression suddenly turned solemn as he asked the young girl.
"The civet cat spoke!"
When the young girl heard it, she was immediately surprised, stopped crying, opened a pair of red and swollen eyes, looked at Xiao Hui, hesitated for a moment before answering:
She hesitated for a moment before answering, "This cauldron was passed down from my ancestors … before my father passed away, he told me that this cauldron is very important to our family. He told me to treat this cauldron as my life. No matter where I go, I must bring this cauldron with me at all times …"
Actually, with the girl's talent in martial arts, it was not difficult for her to pass the Divine Might Sect's outer sect assessment.
But to bring a cauldron that weighed hundreds of thousands of jin to the top of the mountain, the difficulty was increased by more than a hundred times. It was an impossible task.
"Meow, I see."
"Do you know where your parents came from and where you came from?"
Xiao Hui nodded its head, and immediately used a probing tone to continue asking.
"I heard from the villagers that my parents came to the village as refugees. As for where they came from, I'm not too sure …"
The girl shook her head lightly. As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears again. She was obviously thinking about her parents who had passed away many years ago.
Ever since the girl could remember, she had grown up in a remote mountain village.
According to the villagers, the girl's parents came to the village on a night of thunder and lightning many years ago.
That night, the girl's mother died after giving birth to her. When the girl was five years old, her father also passed away. Because of this, the girl was regarded as an unlucky person by the villagers.
Fortunately, the girl was helped by a benevolent old woman in the village and managed to barely grow up.
During this period, the girl's cultivation naturally rose continuously. In less than a few years, without any cultivation, her martial arts cultivation had advanced to the Third Layer of the Spirit Path.
However, not long ago, the old woman also died of illness. The rumor of the girl's unlucky fate was once again confirmed. The villagers immediately chased her out of the village and she brought the cauldron with her to participate in the Divine Might Sect's entrance assessment.
"The descendant of a peerless Alchemy Emperor has fallen to such a state. What a pity, what a pity!"
