As the curtain of night slowly descended, the noisy Snow City gradually returned to its tranquility.
In a guest room of the inn.
Ye Chen and the other two sat upright and stared at Yu Wanqing with indifferent gazes. This made Yu Wanqing feel a little awkward. She wanted to speak but didn't know where to start, so she sighed repeatedly.
"Speak, don't waste time."
Xuanyuan Xiu was the first to speak. He waved his hand and instantly set up a soundproof Origin Formation, completely isolating them from the outside world.
Yu Wanqing nodded and said apologetically, "The reason why I appeared in the Flower of Ice Continent this time was not to recruit guests, but because I was chased to the point of having nowhere to go."
Hearing Yu Wanqing's words, Ye Chen and the other two were slightly surprised. Yu Wanqing was actually being chased?
"In a battle between clans, the victor will be able to control the entire Blossom Wood Continent. To every clan, this is an incomparably important matter. The Yu Clan that I'm from has risen to power in recent years, and is shockingly ranked as one of the three great clans. Such a rising trend has caused the other two great clans to feel pressured, so they took advantage of the time when my father was in closed-door cultivation to pursue and kill without restraint in order to deal a heavy blow to the Yu Clan."
"Miss Yu is only at the Third Heaven of the Saint Way. Facing the pursuit of so many experts, you were actually able to escape from the Flower of Wood Continent to the Flower of Ice Continent. This is a little strange." Ye Chen didn't pity Yu Wanqing and keenly grasped the main point.
"You misunderstood. When I was being chased, I wasn't on the Flower of Wood Continent, but on the Blue Jade Island."
Yu Wanqing slowly explained to everyone, "My Yu Clan has extremely deep attainments in alchemy. Within the clan, there is a Wood Emperor Cauldron. This cauldron is ranked as a first-rate Primordial Spiritual Treasure. It is said that it was used by the Wood God to refine pills. If one uses this cauldron to refine pills, it can greatly increase the medicinal effect of the pills. Furthermore, the pills can contain a weak Qi of Life.
"My father is the Clan Leader of the Yu Clan. He knew that the existence of this cauldron would definitely attract many covetous eyes. Therefore, he secretly moved this cauldron to Jade Blue Island and refined it on Jade Blue Island. This was to deceive others and secretly develop the clan's power."
"After more than ten years of painstaking development, the Yu Clan finally rose. But at the same time, the news of the Wood Imperial Cauldron was leaked out. Many clans secretly sent experts to besiege the Blue Jade Island, and under the protection of many experts, I escaped with the Wood Imperial Cauldron and came to the Ice Flower Continent."
While they were talking, Ye Chen had been paying attention to Yu Wanqing's tone and expression all the time. He saw that her words were sincere and her eyes were penetrating. It didn't seem like she was lying.
"There is an agreement between the God Clans that they cannot interfere with the affairs of other God Clans at will. After you escaped to the Ice Flower Continent, those experts will certainly not dare to search wantonly. And you also happened to hear about the recent events on the Ice Flower Continent and know that Ye Chen is in Cold Ice City, so you asked Ye Chen to escort you on the grounds of recruitment. Am I right?"
Mo Yi's cold voice made Yu Wanqing feel hot on her face, but she still nodded heavily and did not deny it.
"This matter is my fault, but the matter of recruitment, I am sincere and sincere. I have never deceived you in the slightest. Please forgive me." Yu Wanqing hurriedly stood up and explained, bowing to everyone and apologizing.
"The situation has developed to this point, what's the use of apologizing?"
Xuanyuan Xiu rolled his eyes and changed the topic. "You said that you escaped to the Ice Flower Continent with the Wood Imperial Cauldron. So, the Wood Imperial Cauldron should still be with you."
"Of course."
Yu Wanqing knew very well that if she wanted to get through the difficulties in front of her, she must rely on Xuanyuan Xiu's help. She did not dare to hesitate and immediately took out the Wood Imperial Cauldron.
Weng!
Gentle azure light suddenly bloomed, spreading out like water ripples and filling the entire room.
This azure light was extremely peculiar, it was very gentle. The instant it came into contact with the skin, it directly entered the body and spontaneously nourished the flesh, Yuan Sea and even the soul.
After the azure light dissipated, a small ancient cauldron appeared in Yu Wanqing's hand. It stood on three legs and there were many inscriptions carved on the cauldron. The azure light was released from the inscriptions, as if it contained some kind of mysterious power.
"This Wood Imperial Cauldron is so small, how can it be used to refine pills?"
Mo Yi asked in surprise. He had seen many pill cauldrons, but most of them were extremely large. The Wood Imperial Cauldron before him was only the size of a palm and did not have the aura of a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure. It was very strange.
"If it was an ordinary pill cauldron, it would naturally be impossible for it to be so small. However, this Wood Imperial Cauldron is different."
Light flickered in Xuanyuan Xiu's eyes and he said with a smile, "The Wood Imperial Cauldron is used by the Wood God to refine pills. This cauldron comes into contact with the gods day and night. The cauldron has long since contained a trace of spirit aura. In other words, to a certain extent, the Wood Imperial Cauldron is not a Grandmist Spiritual Treasure, but a Spirit Spiritual Treasure."
"A Spirit Spiritual Treasure contains a trace of spirit, then why can't I sense it?"
Ye Chen asked. He possessed the Divine Ice Mirror and was extremely familiar with Spirit Spiritual Treasures. If the Wood Imperial Cauldron was a Spirit Spiritual Treasure, he should be the first to sense it.
Not only was Ye Chen puzzled, even Yu Wanqing, a member of the Wood God Clan, looked at Xuanyuan Xiu with curiosity.
"Among the nine gods that created the Nine Great Divine Clans, the Wood God was the most reclusive. He did not like to fight, but he liked to study all kinds of heretical paths. Among them, the most profound were the Dao of Pills, the Dao of Formations and the Dao of Weapon Refinement. Because of this, he forged three treasures that targeted these three great heretical paths. Furthermore, he divided his spirit into three and inserted it into the treasures one by one."
"This Wood Imperial Cauldron is one of the three treasures. Although it contains the Wood God's spirit, it is not pure. It can only be said to be a False Spirit Spiritual Treasure. Compared to the Divine Ice Mirror, a true Spirit Spiritual Treasure, there is naturally a large gap."
Hearing Xuanyuan Xiu's explanation, Ye Chen came to a realization and dispelled the doubts in his heart.
Xuanyuan Xiu continued, "Ever since the Ancient War, the Wood Gods have disappeared without a trace. No one knows where they went, and the three supreme treasures were lost in the Radiant Wood Continent. The Wood God Clan began to split up, and countless clans were formed. They fought with each other, and even after hundreds of thousands of years, they still haven't stopped.
Speaking of this, Xuanyuan Xiu let out a long sigh. His eyes flickered as if he was deeply moved.
"Senior Xuanyuan."
At this time, Yu Wanqing plucked up her courage and asked, "Today outside the city gate, you recognized the Dugu Clan's Dugu Thirteen Swords at a glance. At the same time, you also know the Meng Clan's Dao Heart Demonic Seed Art. Now, you even know the history of the Wood God Clan. Could it be that you have some relationship with the Wood God Clan?"
After hearing Yu Wanqing's words, Ye Chen and Mo Yi also felt that something was strange.
One had to know that even as a member of the Wood God Clan, Yu Wanqing didn't know much about the history of the Wood God Clan, let alone the existence of the three treasures.
But Xuanyuan Xiu knew so much about it. It could be said that he was very familiar with it. It was as if he had witnessed this history with his own eyes. It was very strange.
"I'm just a wandering cultivator. How could I be related to the Wood God Clan? I only know this from ancient books." Xuanyuan Xiu shrugged and casually found a reason to evade.
With a thought, Xuanyuan Xiu placed the Wood Emperor Cauldron in Yu Wanqing's hand and said, "Since you have already explained the whole matter, it's fine. You had no choice in this matter, so you hid it. Just pretend that nothing happened."
"Thank you, Senior." Yu Wanqing was pleasantly surprised.
"You don't have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank this Wood Emperor Cauldron."
Xuanyuan Xiu said something strange. He looked at the Wood Emperor Cauldron in a daze, as if he was thinking of some unbearable past.
