With my arrays assisting me, my combat power barely reaches the half-step Golden Core level. I wonder how many rounds I can last against this Spirit Transformation Immortal Eminence.
With all preparations complete, Li Fan closed his eyes and calmed his mind, ready to meet his enemy.
Soon after, a fiery red light streaked across the sky, arriving in an instant. It halted directly above Li Fan.
The figure was burly, with flame-red hair and a bristling crimson beard. He looked down contemptuously at Li Fan, his voice like crashing thunder.
"Quite the runner, aren't you? Hand over the Mini Medicine King Cauldron, and I'll spare your life!"
The booming voice echoed incessantly in Li Fan's ears.
Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, numerous thoughts flashing through his mind.
Mini Medicine King Cauldron? They chased me across multiple provinces... for this? Could it be some extraordinary treasure?
But it's been nearly thirty-seven years since I bought these two small cauldrons from Jiao Xiuyuan.
These two cauldrons served no practical purpose, so I'd left them in a corner of my storage ring to collect dust. I'd nearly forgotten they existed myself.
If they truly possessed some special value, why has it taken this long for someone to pursue them?
Scenes from the past flashed rapidly through Li Fan's mind.
.....
“It is said that after the Immortal Venerable spread the Dao, but before the Great Reformation arrived, the sect master of the Medicine King Sect at the time, Liu Ruchen, had a vague premonition that a great change was coming to the world.
“So, using the Medicine King Cauldron as a vessel, Liu Ruchen parted the void and broke through the boundaries of this world, departing with the entire Medicine King Sect.”
Jiao Xiuyuan had spoken eloquently.
.....
Anchor Year 15.
A meteor streaked across the sky, illuminating the night. Its landing place remained unknown.
Every cultivator who witnessed this meteor felt an inexplicable sense of dread and foreboding.
.....
“And guess what? That meteor landed in the Cangwu Abyss! That damned place is bottomless; no wonder nobody found it for so long.”
.....
In Anchor Year 41, the meteor landed in Cangwu.
Kou Hong and Dao Xuanzi sought to claim this opportunity.
.....
"Previously, we went through all kinds of hardships to get to Cangwu Province. The moment we arrived, news broke that the meteor had already been found. We didn’t even get a glimpse of what it looked like and had to return in frustration.”
Kou Hong had complained bitterly.
.....
Suddenly, understanding dawned on Li Fan.
Could that fiery meteor be the Medicine King Sect's Medicine King Cauldron?
The Medicine King Cauldron that broke through the world’s boundaries and departed before the Great Reformation has now inexplicably returned to the Xuanhuang World.
And for some unknown reason, those thirty-six Mini Medicine King Cauldrons that nobody cared about before have now become treasures everyone is fighting over.
So this life-threatening crisis stems from this!
