Coming to the cave that the black shadow had entered before, Su Jinyue stopped and said, "This is it."
Everyone looked at the cave in front of them. It was not big, about the height of a person. Among the countless caves, it was really not very noticeable.
"Let's go in and take a look." Zhan Yihan took Su Jinyue's hand and walked inside.
Su Yanyue and the other two followed.
The cave was narrow and deep, and Zhan Yihan and his companions had to bend over to pass through.
Su Jinyue extended her sight forward and found that the cave was bottomless and continued to extend downward. How did the black shadow just now pass through such a narrow cave? Could she really have seen it wrong?
After walking for more than an hour, the cave in front of them suddenly opened up and revealed a huge cave with jagged rocks and strange-shaped stalactites everywhere.
Su Jinyue's eyes scanned the surroundings. When she came across a huge rock in the center of the cave, she paused in surprise. She discovered a large square tripod hidden in the rock. There were inscriptions on the tripod that looked like oracle bone script, but she couldn't understand them. "I found a tripod."
"Big Cauldron? Where is it?" Su Yanyue and the others all looked at Su Jinyue. They were also scanning with their eyes, but their cultivation time was short, so they could only see the nearby scenery. If they hadn't cultivated with the spirit stone yesterday, their vision wouldn't be able to penetrate the stone at all.
"In that stone." Su Jinyue pointed to a huge rock in the center of the cave.
"Let's go take a look." Su Yanqi walked quickly towards the boulder. Shennong Mountain was named after the Yan Emperor Shennong, and he suspected that the tripod might be the legendary Shennong Ding.
Several people came to the huge rock, and Su Jinyue took out a long sword and handed it to Su Yanyue, "Brother, you chop it." Although Yi Han was the strongest among them, he could not see through things. If he chopped it with his sword, it was very likely that the big cauldron inside would be damaged.
Su Yanyue nodded and took the sword. He had already seen the large tripod in the boulder. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he had no problem determining the location of the tripod.
"All of you move back a little." After everyone had moved back, Su Yanyue raised the sword in his hand and chopped it down.
With a loud "bang", the long sword collided with the boulder, sparks flying everywhere.
When everyone looked, they saw only a small crack between the boulders.
"What a hard stone." Su Jinyue and others couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Su Yanyue glanced at the gap on the boulder, frowned, raised his sword again and chopped it down. After several consecutive chops, the boulder was only split open with a two-inch deep gap.
"This stone doesn't seem to be an ordinary rock. It won't be easy to split it with a sword." Su Yanyue retracted his sword. With his current strength, it would not be difficult to split an ordinary stone with a sword, but this huge stone did not budge even after he struck it several times.
"Why don't you try this dagger?" Zhan Yihan pulled out a dagger and handed it to Su Yanyue. He had bought this dagger from an antique shop in Liulichang. Although it was a little rusty, it was incredibly sharp.
Su Yanyue took the dagger, "Is this the dagger you used when fighting Feng Hao?" He remembered that Feng Hao's dagger was easily cut off by this dagger.
"Yeah!" Zhan Yihan nodded.
Su Yanyue raised the dagger and chopped at the stone again. "Crack!" The stone split in the middle, and half of the stone fell to the ground.
"It really works!" everyone exclaimed in surprise.
"What a good knife!" Su Yanyue looked at the dagger in his hand with admiration, and swung it down again. As stones continued to fall to the ground, he soon saw a small copper-green object exposed from the stone.
The huge rock was slowly split open, gradually revealing the large tripod inside. The tripod was made of bronze and engraved with patterns and three oracle bone characters on the outside.
"This tripod is very likely the legendary Shennong Ding," Su Yanyue said after observing the large tripod. He had not studied oracle bone script, but he had read some records in the literature.
"I think so, too. Legend has it that the Shennong Cauldron has accumulated the energy of countless magical herbs for thousands of years, and can be used to refine peerless elixirs that even the gods in heaven cannot easily obtain." Su Yanxi looked at the cauldron in front of him excitedly. If it really was the Shennong Cauldron, then they had truly gained a huge reward this time.
Su Jinyue looked at the cauldron carefully and found a black scroll of silk in a corner inside the cauldron. She reached out, took out the scroll, opened it and began to read.
The handwriting on the book was different from that on the cauldron. Instead, it was the same as the handwriting on the Tianxiu Sutra she had obtained. "This is the Shennong Pharmacopoeia. It mainly records the methods of refining medicine, as well as the names and effects of various herbs."
"Shennong's Pharmacopoeia, then this tripod must be the Shennong Tripod." Su Yanqi said excitedly. They actually got the legendary Shennong Tripod, which was simply a great opportunity.
"Yeah!" Su Jinyue nodded happily. Once she got back and looked up information about the Shennong Ding, she'd be able to confirm it. But she was already 90% certain that this was the Shennong Ding.
"Little sister, I'll leave this big cauldron and Shennong's Herbal Classic with you for now." Su Yanyue said.
"Why?" Su Jinyue looked at Su Yanyue in confusion. Medical Valley was primarily focused on medicine. With the Shennong Cauldron and the Shennong Pharmacopoeia, it would be like adding wings to a tiger, and the Medical Valley would become even more powerful.
"The Medical Valley isn't strong enough to intimidate other sects yet. If news of the Shennong Ding gets out, it could very well bring disaster to the Medical Valley," Su Yanyue said. Besides this, another reason was that the Shennong Ding was discovered by my younger sister, so it was only natural that it should be hers.
Naturally, these few people would not reveal such a big secret. My younger sister would definitely not reveal the news that she has the Shennong Ding, so she would not be in danger if she kept it with her.
Su Yanxi nodded with a look of sudden realization, "Brother, you are really thoughtful. I hadn't even considered this."
"I was just too happy." Su Yanqi scratched his head and smiled sheepishly. The Purple Dan Bone Flower of the Medical Valley had already been coveted by many sects. If the Medical Valley obtained the Shennong Ding, those sects would definitely find an excuse to destroy the Medical Valley.
"Then I'll keep it for now," Su Jinyue said. She knew the principle of being in possession of a treasure.
She tried to put the Shennong Herbal Classic into her storage bag, but she couldn't put the Shennong Cauldron into it no matter how many times she tried. What happened?
"What's wrong?" Zhan Yihan asked when he saw Su Jinyue frowning.
"I can't put this big cauldron away." Su Jinyue sighed. It was impossible for her to leave the Shennong Ding here, but she couldn't think of any way to put it away.
"What should we do then?" Su Yanyue and his three brothers asked in unison. They had to take the cauldron with them, otherwise if someone came down and took the cauldron away, all their efforts would be in vain.
