As it turns out, the Yao Guang Cauldron truly lived up to its reputation as a relic left behind by the Phoenix Clan.

Lu Li had just stepped onto the island in the middle of the lake and hadn't even started exploring the illusion yet. He had only released a little bit of the aura unique to the Phoenix Clan, and the Yao Guang Cauldron responded.

A small, illusory image of the Yao Guang Cauldron suddenly appeared in front of Lu Li. It first looked him up and down, and then flew around Lu Li several times.

Having perhaps confirmed Lu Li's identity, it didn't say anything, but opened a door in the void in front of everyone.

One of the handles on the cauldron was designed to wave, gesturing for Lu Li to follow.

Lu Li did not sense any malice from it. On the contrary, he discovered that the Yao Guang Cauldron actually contained the aura of his direct ancestor.

Thinking of the ancestor in his clan who had already ascended to the upper realm and become an immortal, Lu Li raised his eyebrows and, almost without hesitation, took Shushu and stepped into the door in the void.

Seeing this, Jin Yun, who was standing behind him with his mouth agape in shock, quickly followed Jin Kanjiu, who had come with him, inside without hesitation.

As the last golden vulture stepped through the door, the door in the void quickly closed, leaving no trace.

Lu Li and Shu Shu, who were the vanguard, had already arrived at the mine located at the bottom of the island in the lake. Looking around, they saw light brown ore all around, which was clearly Wugen Iron.

Ugen iron is an extremely sturdy ore that is rare in that it can withstand the baptism of strong winds. Adding just a small piece during the forging process can greatly enhance the sturdiness of the magical artifact.

Of course, it is most commonly used in the manufacture of flying boats and shuttle boats, especially shuttle boats.

Therefore, even in the vast world, Ugan iron is something that everyone wants to seize, and a piece of Ugan iron can fetch an astronomical price.

I didn't expect that the Yulin Continent would have the Wugen Iron Mine, and that its properties hadn't dropped despite the transformation of the Yulin Continent; they were still in good condition.

It seems that before the Yulin Continent collapsed, it must have been a vast world with abundant resources, otherwise they wouldn't have encountered so many good things.

Thinking of the shuttle boat he had been longing for, and knowing that with this Wugen Iron, it would be almost ready to be forged, Lu Li was in an exceptionally good mood.

Therefore, even though he heard Xiaotiandao's voice transmission that they could only take away 70% of the Wugen Iron, Lu Li's mood was not affected at all. On the contrary, he was full of energy.

After summoning all the capable people around him and distributing them with a jade hoe specifically for mining and a storage ring, Lu Li led the way in mining.

Soon, the sounds of mining echoed through the vein. From large pieces of land to small grains of millet, everyone chose a spot and dug away with great enthusiasm.

Because this mine was not small, even though Shushu and the rest of the team mobilized and dug with all their might.

They dug for dozens of days, filling several storage rings, before finally managing to dig out the 70% they could take with them.

As for why it's 70%, that's for long-term development. As long as it's not completely exhausted, the vein can still be regenerated.

Lu Li and Shushu naturally understood this principle, so when Xiao Tiandao sent them a letter, they did not refute it. After digging up that amount, the senior and junior brothers and sisters also tacitly called for a halt.

After taking one last look at the mine vein, which was now seven layers empty, Lu Li and Shu Shu both had satisfied smiles in their eyes.

With these Ugan irons, they not only got the shuttle they wanted.

In the future, when they go to the Middle Thousand World and the Great Thousand World, if they run out of spirit stones, they can sell some Wugen Iron to exchange for spirit stones.

Of course, you have to be careful not to let someone buy you at the bottom of the market. After all, possessing a treasure is a crime, and that's no joke.

But these are things to worry about later. They have no intention of selling Wugen Iron on the Yulin Continent.

Putting aside whether anyone could afford it, the fact that the Liuyue Sect's headquarters are here means they have no chance of making a move.

Otherwise, those who truly know the effects of urgenitourin would definitely try to contact the outside world if they discovered any clues.

They would be foolish to do something that could endanger the sect.

However, their immediate priority is to leave this place first, as the faction ranking competition is only a few days away.

Although Lu Li may not necessarily have to personally take action, he will still have to step in if a dark horse emerges.

Thinking of this, Lu Li lost interest in staying any longer. He looked at the illusory image of the Yao Guang Cauldron that was flying in mid-air, like a supervisor who had been watching them for dozens of days, clearly having something to say.

Upon seeing this, the illusory image of the Yao Guang Cauldron did not put on airs and descended quite nimbly.

As it flew downwards, facial features slowly emerged on its cauldron body, first the eyes, then the nose and mouth. By the time it reached Lu Li and Shushu, its round little face had taken shape.

She opened her mouth and immediately spoke: "Lu Xu's descendant, what are you doing on this continent? Has the Phoenix Clan fallen so low?"

These words were so sharp that Lu Li didn't know how to answer them for a moment.

Fortunately, Yao Guangding didn't seem to expect an answer from Lu Li. He simply asked, "Lu Xu's junior, did you call me down because you want to leave this place?"

Lu Li could answer this question, so he first respectfully cupped his hands and said, "Junior Lu Li, please help me, senior."

After speaking, he paused, looked intently at the Yaoguang Cauldron, and added, "I wonder if Senior would be willing to leave with me?"

When Lu Li said this, he used a consultative tone, clearly indicating that he would not force Yao Guang Ding if it was unwilling.

Yao Guangding answered this question almost without hesitation, his tone certain.

“I’m definitely leaving with you. You’re such a young kid, and not only are you not as capable as Lu Xu, but you’ve also been injured like this. Since I’ve run into you, I’ll naturally keep an eye on you for Lu Xu. Otherwise, if you accidentally die, Lu Xu will probably throw me back into the furnace for a makeover.”

Lu? No ability? Leave: ...

Thus, the conversation ended with Lu Li being left speechless.

Then, Yao Guang Ding very decisively and efficiently put all the Lu Li Shushu and the others that followed into the cauldron, and with a whoosh, it left the mine.

Only after they reached the outside of the illusion array did the Yao Guang Cauldron pour them all out, leaving behind the words, "Wait for me a moment," before it hurried away again.

Before long, as they regained their footing after being knocked down, they saw all sorts of wails and screams coming from the island in the middle of the lake within the illusion array. The screams lasted for quite a while before stopping.

Then, Yao Guang Ding came out and threw a storage ring to Lu Li and Shu Shu respectively.

The senior and junior disciples exchanged a glance, then simultaneously probed their storage rings with their divine senses. Upon seeing what was inside, both the human and the rat gasped in shock.
