Chapter 144: Fire Cave, the Growing Cauldron
"Observing the treasure?"
The old doctor was very surprised. He didn't expect Wei Shanhai to make such an invitation.
“Yes, the treasure I obtained contains a special artistic conception that can cleanse the soul and has a magical effect of enlightening the mind. It is of great benefit to the practice of warriors.
Especially for the Xiantian Realm warriors, the effect is very good for the first time observation, and it may be of some help to your future practice, Doctor Chen."
Wei Shanhai explained.
"But this is your Wei family's treasure after all. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for an old man like me to be an outsider."
The old doctor is actually not very interested in treasures and the like.
He helped the Wei family out of his own conscience, not because of greed.
"That's wrong. Doctor Chen's kindness to our Wei family is like a rebirth. Our Wei family doesn't have anything too precious to repay you. We can only express our gratitude with the unique artistic conception of this treasure."
Wei Shanhai said earnestly.
Finally, under Wei Shanhai's sincere invitation, the old doctor agreed to his request. After the banquet, he went to observe and see how magical the treasure was.
However, he also had a request, which was to bring Lu Qing and Ma Gu along.
Wei Shanhai had no objection to this.
He already knew that the people who contributed the most to the safe return of Mrs. Wei and her son were Lu Qing and Ma Gu.
Anyway, once the meaning of the treasure is opened, one person can observe it, and it doesn't really matter if there are more people.
Just like that, after the banquet, the old doctor and his companions rested for a while, and then, led by Wei Shanhai, went to the backyard.
Finally, we arrived at a tall tower in the center of the Wei Mansion.
"Doctor Chen, please."
In the tower, Wei Shanhai opened a secret door and a dry breath came out.
"The treasures of your house are placed underground?"
The old doctor looked at the stairs extending underground through the secret door and asked curiously.
As for Lu Qing, he was secretly alert, activated his special ability, and looked towards the secret door.
I saw a strong red light emerging from the secret door.
[Secret door: A portal leading to a strange place somewhere underground. ]
[There is a hidden world behind the door, and it seems there are treasures hidden. ]
[There is a protective mechanism inside, but it is not activated. ]
Seeing the information appearing on the secret door, Lu Qing felt a little relieved.
This is indeed where the Wei family collects treasures, and Wei Shanhai is not lying to them.
As for the mechanism, that is understandable. How could a place where precious treasures are stored be completely undefended?
Of course Lu Qing did not completely let down his guard.
It's not that he has mean intentions, but as the saying goes, one must always be on guard against others, and one should still have the necessary awareness of prevention.
After the secret door opened, Wei Shanhai walked in first.
Wei Shanhai seemed to know that inviting others into the tunnel would easily arouse others' suspicion.
So he walked in front and let Wei Xinghe and Lu Qing walk together.
To show that the Wei family has no intention of harming anyone.
After all, with the old doctor's strength, if an accident happened, capturing Wei Xinghe would be a piece of cake.
The group walked down the tunnel. With oil lamps on both sides, it didn't seem dark.
As they walked, Lu Qing's expression changed.
Because he found that the tunnel was becoming increasingly hot and the vital energy of heaven and earth was becoming noticeably richer.
However, although he had cultivated the power of his soul, his qi orifices had not been opened. When he sensed the vital energy of heaven and earth, there was a layer of obstruction between them and he could not tell which system of vital energy it was.
The old doctor exclaimed: "Such a rich fire energy. I didn't expect that there is such a hidden world under this county. Your mansion is indeed profound."
Now, the old doctor understood why Wei Shanhai wanted to practice fire-based Qi.
With such a rich fire energy in a place, practicing fire-related techniques can achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"To be honest, this place was not built by our Wei family. It is a strange place discovered by our ancestors. Its existence is unknown. We are just enjoying the legacy of our ancestors." Wei Shanhai said with some embarrassment.
As the two were chatting, they suddenly noticed that the stairs in front of them no longer went down but became flat. After walking forward for a few dozen steps, the view suddenly became clear.
A spacious cave appeared in front of everyone.
The walls of the cave are light red in color, and their texture is like stone or jade, with strange runes engraved on them.
In the middle of the cave, there is a stone platform, on which stands a light red cauldron that is half a person's height and the size that several people can hug, exuding a faint and strange smell.
Such a magical scene made the old doctor and others stunned.
Especially Magu, he had never seen such a scene before and his mouth opened wide.
Only Lu Qing was shocked when he saw the familiar layout in the cave.
Because he could tell at a glance what the runes on the cave wall meant.
It was a rune array, a rune array related to the fire element.
Moreover, the formation method was quite familiar to him.
Could it be that this cave is related to the Divine Talisman Sect?
A thought flashed through Lu Qing's mind.
"Mr. Wei, could this tripod be..."
Looking at the scene in front of him, the old doctor asked.
"Yes, this red tripod is one of the treasures that Wang Cangyi and I found in a mysterious place in the past. It is also the most precious of all the treasures." Wei Shanhai nodded and said, "Wang Cangyi went to great lengths to get it."
"But this tripod is very extraordinary at first glance. How could Wang Cangyi allow you to take it away?" Ma Gu asked puzzledly.
Lu Qing was equally confused.
More importantly, this tripod is so big and looks extremely heavy, probably at least ten thousand pounds. How did Wei Shanhai bring it back that year?
Just on the way back, you will be coveted by countless people.
“It’s amazing to say that when Wang Cangyi and I found this tripod, it was only the size of a thumb and covered in rust, looking inconspicuous.
We just treated it as a small ornament at the time, otherwise, with Wang Cangyi's stingy personality, he would never let me take it away."
"Thumb-sized?"
Magu shouted out in disbelief.
He looked at the huge tripod on the stone platform and found it hard to imagine what it originally looked like.
Even Lu Qing and the old doctor looked surprised.
“It’s hard to believe, but this is the truth. After I got this tripod, it has been with me for many years, and it has never shown any strangeness.
It was not until I had traveled enough and reached a bottleneck in my cultivation that I returned to the Wei Mansion and came to this ancestral underground cave to practice. When I came into contact with the pure fire energy in the cave, it began to gradually show its magical powers.
After I discovered its extraordinaryness, I placed it on a stone platform and watched it grow year by year.
It started out as the size of a thumb, then a fist, and then slowly grew to the size of a bowl or a water tank. Now, nearly a hundred years later, it has become what it is today.”
"A giant tripod that grows?"
After hearing this, Magu opened his mouth again.
What Wei Shanhai said was beyond his understanding, and his brain was unable to react for a moment.
Lu Qing was also shocked. With a thought, he activated his special powers silently and looked intently at the huge red tripod.
