However, in the next second, Little Black suddenly lifted its leg at lightning speed, as if it had been hit by something. The small black cauldron was still standing in its original position, intact.
For a moment, Lin Bai became hesitant, not knowing whether to let Little Black continue.
Although Little Black was known for its strong defense, this small black cauldron was like a nail to it.
If Little Black were to fight it head-on, he would not be able to tell for a while whether Little Black could really step on the cauldron or whether the cauldron would poke a small hole in Little Black’s foot.
After hesitating for a moment, he still let Little Black back down. Lin Bai rubbed his chin and stared at the cauldron. “It seems that you still have many secrets. I don’t think I can solve them ina short time.”
Lin Bai did not plan to fight with it. Perhaps the time was not right, so even if he used all kinds of schemes and methods, he still would not be able to figure out the origins of this small cauldron.
If the time was right, everything could be solved easily. After all, everything depended on an opportunity and fate. One could not force it. Otherwise, it would easily cause unnecessary losses.
Thinking of this, Lin Bai felt relieved. He looked at fool Li beside him. During his test, fool Li had been very quiet. He did not cause trouble or run around. He just sat there quietly, then, he stared at the small cauldron and occasionally said something he did not understand.
Lin Bai had a premonition that fool Li might know the origin of this cauldron. After all, he was the one who led him here. Then, the small cauldron appeared and absorbed all the energy of the array formation and the altar.
However, with fool Li’s current state, he probably wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him. Even so, Lin Bai had the mentality of asking for help, “Do you know about this cauldron?”
Fool Li actually nodded. Lin Bai was immediately overjoyed. He thought that there was a chance and was about to speak, but who would have thought that fool Li would point at Lin Bai’s black cauldron and then point at the top of his head, “Of course I know. Not only do you have the cauldron, there’s also
a big fellow here.”
Lin Bai followed the gaze he was pointing at and looked over. Other than the black wall, there was nothing else. The smile on his face gradually faded. “It seems that I was too naive. How could you possibly know?”
He did not expect that fool Li did not seem to be stupid at this moment. He even understood what he was saying. With an anxious expression, he said, “I’m serious. There’s still a big fellow here. It’s just asleep, but it’s going to wake up soon.”
Fool Li’s words were incoherent, and there was no beginning or end to them. Lin Bai frowned. He didn’t know what he was talking about at all, and it wasn’t good for him to continue pestering him, so he went along with Fool Li’s words.
“Alright, alright, alright. Then tell me how to completely wake it up.”
Fool Li frowned and thought hard. He became quiet again, as if this question of Lin Bai’s had him stumped. Lin Bai had a moment of peace, and finally heaved a sigh of relief. He began to look around for a way out.
He did not know that the Alchemist Association outside had nearly tumed the sky upside down.
The mountain closest to the forbidden area was the Alchemy Peak. The terrain here was extremely strange. If one stood at the highest point of the Alchemy Association, one would discover that this mountain peak was like a strangely shaped cauldron.
The head and tail were connected, and the ears of the cauldron stood on both sides. There were many different opinions regarding the origin of this mountain peak. However, the most bizarre one was that it was rumored that this mountain peak was formed from a cauldron. It was very mysterious.
Even the library had a few related records, but they were extremely vague. In addition to all the half-true and half-false rumors, everyone didn’t appreciate it. They just thought that it was just a rumor.
After all, this kind of statement didn’t have any details. If it really was formed from a cauldron, then how huge would this cauldron be? However, from the expressions of the President of the Alchemist Association and the elders, it was obvious that they didn’t take it seriously.
However, this mountain peak was indeed a very good place. The spiritual qi here was more abundant than elsewhere, and there were many medicinal plants growing here. It was suitable for refining pills. Moreover, refining pills here would give twice the result with half the effort.
With the nourishment of the spiritual gi, it wasn’t easy for the furnace to explode. Moreover, it wasn’t known whether this was a placebo effect, but the success rate of refining pills here was also higher. In the end, the quality of the pills produced was even better. The people only thought that it was
because of the abundant spiritual energy.
Therefore, many disciples would be here to pick herbs or refine pills, and today was no exception.
However, the disciples on the mountain faintly felt the earth and mountains shake. They did not understand the situation and thought that it was because someone was practicing martial arts, or that the phenomenon was caused by pills, so they did not take it to heart.
However, soon after, it seemed that even the surrounding temperature had increased. One of the disciples wiped the sweat off his forehead and looked up at the sky. It was a cloudy day today, so there was no sun. Occasionally, there would be a cool breeze blowing, which was considered dry and cool.
However, they could not feel any wind at the moment.
Even if there was, it was still a warm current.
“Do you guys feel that the temperature seems to have increased? When I went out, it was not this hot. It was actually quite cool.”
The companion beside him nodded. “Now that you mention it, the temperature seems to have increased by quite a bit. It’s really strange. It was quite comfortable just now, but in a short while, it became hot.”
The sky was still covered with dark clouds and there wasn’t a single bit of sunlight, so everyone didn’t care.
“I’s probably going to rain soon, so it suddenly became a little stuffy. Let’s move quickly. We have to pick ten stalks of skyheart grass today, or else we won’t be able to report back when we go back later.”
As soon as they finished speaking, they quickened their movements, but the temperature in the air was getting higher and higher.
