After saying this, Old Wu noticed that there was an extra 'person' among them. So he pointed at the extra 'person' and said somewhat cautiously, "Who are you? How did you get in? When did you get in? Why didn't we know?"
"Hehe, are you talking about me? I just came out, so it's normal that you don't know~"
Yue Jiujie looked at Lao Wu and answered his question.
Old Wu looked at Yue Jiu Jie and felt that she was not human, but he did not dare to ask any more questions. He just turned to look at Yue Jiu Nian and said, "Your people?"
Just like Yue Jiuzhai, Yue Jiunian was also very interested in the contents of the cauldron, but she didn't show it obviously. She just nodded, pretending not to care at all, and said, "Mm."
Old Hei's foot was hit by the cauldron, and it was a very serious injury. When Jiang Yan looked at his foot, he only saw a bloody mess and dared not look any longer. However, he also knew how badly he was injured and how heavy the cauldron was.
After the cauldron fell, everyone's attention was focused on it, so they only glanced at Lao Hei's injury and had Lao Wu apply medicine to treat it, while everyone else went to look at the cauldron.
All we could see was that when the cauldron fell, it smashed a large crater in the floor, which showed just how heavy it was.
In essence, this cauldron is just a large pot covered with a lid. Once the lid is opened, you can see what's inside.
Since Lao Hei is injured and Lao Wu has to take care of him, only Uncle Zhao and his men are left to open the lid of the cauldron.
However, Uncle Zhao was clearly a cunning and shrewd old man. He wouldn't dare to open the lid of the cauldron himself, so he would definitely have his men do it.
Sure enough, Uncle Zhao looked around the cauldron for more than ten seconds, then said to one of his men, "You, go and remove that lid."
Uncle Zhao's men were all very loyal to him, so upon receiving the order, the man immediately reached out to open the lid.
The lid of the cauldron was quite large, much larger than a regular pot lid, so he was a little cautious when picking it up. He was not only afraid of making a mistake, but also afraid that there might be something bad inside.
What the subordinates could think of, the others could also think of, so when they saw the lid being lifted, everyone consciously took a step back.
However, after the lid was opened, nothing as everyone had imagined came out, so Uncle Zhao said to his subordinate, "Hmm? What's inside?"
The subordinate was actually a little scared when he opened the lid, but after finding that nothing had happened after the lid was opened, he boldly peeked into the cauldron and saw that it was filled with a pile of ash.
"Um, Uncle Zhao, it looks like there's some dust in here?"
Because the flashlight beam was so bright, the subordinate could see very clearly that what was inside the cauldron was actually just some ash.
"What? It's ash? Did the elixir turn to ash because it's been stored for too long?"
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Uncle Zhao went straight to inspect the furnace. However, after seeing that it was indeed just a pile of ash inside, he looked somewhat disappointed and said, "Sigh... have we failed again this time?"
Old Hei had already finished applying the medicine and bandaging the wound. He then asked Old Wu to help him over and said, "Let me take a look."
As he spoke, Lao Hei reached into the cauldron and grabbed a handful of ash, saying, "It really is ash, but I don't know if this ash is what the elixir of immortality has turned into."
After listening to their guesses, Yue Jiu Nian said with some curiosity, "By the way, don't you know if this ash is an elixir? Can't you try it yourselves? If it's real, eating it might make you an immortal right away. But if it's fake, then it doesn't matter if you die. Anyway, you're going to die sooner or later, so just let it be~"
Old Hei and Uncle Zhao, who were still racking their brains trying to figure out whether the ash was formed from the elixir, immediately thought that this method seemed good after hearing Yue Jiu Nian's suggestion. They also turned to look at Jiang Yan standing to the side.
When Jiang Yan realized he was being watched, a bad feeling welled up inside him. Then, the next second, he heard Uncle Zhao say, "Jiang Yan, come on, I'll give you a chance to become an immortal."
