Wu Chenxi walked to Hua Xiangyun's side and asked, "Can this thing be cured?"
Hua Xiangyun was also unsure, and truthfully said, "I haven't seen its power either, we'll have to wait and see."
Hua Xiangyun was also unsure. In her opinion, Jiulian Ding's words to her were half true and half false, and she was somewhat wary of Jiulian Ding. If it weren't for the critical situation this time, she really wouldn't want him to show himself.
"Is this a treasure from your former sect?" Wu Chenxi had a good eye for things; this cauldron must have some history.
Hua Xiangyun nodded without hiding anything. She knew that Master Wu had guesses about her background, but he just didn't pry.
After all, everyone has their own destiny, and opportunities cannot be forced. "Will it work?"
Hua Xiangyun was also unsure. "This is the first time I've encountered a situation like this. We'll just have to rely on our luck."
Hearing what she said, Wu Chenxi dared not place all her hopes on it and began to prepare for the tough battle ahead.
The Nine Lotus Cauldron hovered in the air, almost spinning in circles to express its joy.
Today's harvest was truly remarkable. The continuous flow of Yin energy, combined with those souls, allowed him to convert a great deal of spiritual liquid. This way, even if he were to fall into hibernation or arrive at a place devoid of spiritual energy in the future, he could sustain himself for a long time.
He greedily absorbed it, but Ronghe's expression grew increasingly grim. Since the whip was ineffective against him, they decided to change their method of punishment.
He lashed the whip back into the coffin, leaping into the air as if to attack from above.
Unexpectedly, Dingkou followed his movements and kept a close eye on him.
As the yin energy around him diminished and the souls he had refined disappeared one by one, he couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
This was the culmination of nearly a thousand years of his efforts. He was finally about to master the technique. Once he absorbed the spiritual energy from the two sorcerers, he could leave this place. He was unwilling to see his scheme from two years ago fail.
Filled with intense hatred, he grabbed the magical artifact from the coffin and threw it into the cauldron without regard for anything else.
Hua Xiangyun stared in disbelief at the scene, but her mind was filled with the internal space of the Nine Lotus Cauldron, where all the magical treasures it contained were now residing.
A sense of joy welled up inside him. The Nine Lotus Cauldron had signed a master-servant contract with him, meaning that what belonged to it was him...
Wu Chenxi was a little worried that throwing so many things into the cauldron might cause an explosion. She needed to add another protective array so that even if something got caught in the blast, it wouldn't be too badly damaged.
Whether the cauldron will explode is still uncertain, but Rong Na is absolutely furious. He clearly added a magic weapon driven by Yin energy, but once these things entered the cauldron, he could no longer sense them. How could he possibly command them to cause trouble inside?
But it brought him back to his senses. He had endured over a thousand years and was finally about to succeed; he couldn't afford to give up now.
Rongpai quickly weighed the pros and cons, stopped, and retreated far away, saying, "I'm in a good mood today, you can leave."
Wu Chenxi had already realized that Rongna was no match for that cauldron and was conserving her strength, but she didn't want to let him go so easily. Who knew how he would harm others after he succeeded?
Even if it's a fight to the death today, even if we can't keep Rongbao here forever, we must at least greatly reduce his power, giving the Xuanmen more time to find a way to fight him.
Besides, with that cauldron now, our chances of winning are much greater. "Xiangyun, how long can your magic weapon last?"
If I can absorb a few more layers of its yin energy, I'm confident I can fight it.
Hua Xiangyun glanced at the Nine Lotus Cauldron. Although its surface was still grayish, its interior was already shimmering with light, indicating that he had made a good haul.
Hua Xiangyun communicated with him in her mind, "Nine Lotus Cauldron, how is it? Are you confident in fighting this old ghost?"
The Nine Lotus Cauldron finally had a chance to show itself, and with such a great harvest today, the entire cauldron was shaking excitedly. "It's great, Master. This stuff is very nourishing for me, and it can also be used to refine some spiritual liquid for you."
Hua Xiangyun thought for a moment and said, "Let's give it a try first. I'm not too sure how capable he is."
Wu Chenxi nodded. "Then let him try. We absolutely cannot let him out today."
Wu Chenxi spoke the following words while staring at Rong Bao.
Seeing that they hadn't taken any action, Rong Na was also annoyed. Why didn't these two cultivators know when to stop? Did they think they could just let them have their way just because they couldn't do anything about this thing?
"You'd better think this through. If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave later."
After Rongna finished speaking, he saw that they were unmoved, and the broken cauldron was always facing him, while he could only keep running away.
“Look at those spirits behind him, do they know how many people they have harmed?” Wu Chenxi said to Hua Xiangyun. “We cultivators cannot take those crooked paths, otherwise even if our cultivation is high, we will not be able to pass the Heavenly Dao.”
Hua Xiangyun knew that her master was pointing out her flaws, and she agreed, saying, "Although cultivation goes against the heavens, one must have one's own moral bottom line. Besides, what good is it to achieve great success in cultivation when you look like neither human nor ghost?"
The words of the master and disciple echoed in the tomb, which angered Rong Bao so much that he paused, and then the Nine Lotus Cauldron took the opportunity to absorb several of his souls.
"Shut up, what do you know?" Rong Rong said in a sinister tone, "The Xuanmen has long since declined. How many people have achieved immortality in the past thousand years?"
You are content to die of old age because you have no ambition. Look at me, I have lived for over a thousand years. Once I have mastered my cultivation technique, I will be able to live forever.
The aspirations of generations have been fulfilled by me. Aren't you tempted?
"You speak so righteously, but if I were to give you the cultivation technique, wouldn't you be tempted?"
Hua Xiangyun shook her head, "What use is someone like you who has lived for a thousand years? Trapped in this gloomy and dark tomb?"
The outside world is constantly changing. If you followed the principles of heaven and earth, you might have already been reincarnated several times. Isn't this wonderful world good? Isn't it good to have all kinds of different lives?
It's just that you're getting stuck in a rut, unwilling to let go of your glorious days.
But after all those years as the Imperial Advisor, was it really all that glamorous?
Hua Xiangyun looked at him with sympathy, "To maintain the outward appearance of success, you must have made a lot of sacrifices behind the scenes, right?"
Even if you cultivate to become a ghost immortal and gain eternal life, so what?
When others face you, they will only be afraid and run away. Even if you live for tens of thousands of years, you will only be a lonely, gloomy, and pathetic worm.
With each word Hua Xiangyun uttered, Rong Na became more enraged, even to the point of recklessly rushing towards them.
The Nine Lotus Cauldron also took the opportunity to absorb a lot of soul energy, unknowingly weakening its capacity.
Seeing that Hua Xiangyun's tactic was effective, Wu Chenxi also joined in the mockery.
To prevent him from reacting, she would occasionally throw out magical weapons to provoke him.
With one gaining and the other losing, Jiulianding was overjoyed; today's harvest was truly worthwhile!
What good is living for a thousand years? His brain is clearly not up to par. Look at him, once provoked, he doesn't even care about his soul, which is gradually losing its yin energy.
