Chapter 734 – Cauldron’s Whereabouts

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“His name is Yin Chongyue, and the Shuiyun clan’s elder is said to be an old acquaintance of his. He left after taking the Illuminating Sky Cauldron. I don’t know where he is now.”

“Yin Chongyue?” Lin Xuanzhi frowned. “Why did you give it to him?”

Yi Zishang explained, “An infant spirit began to form within the Illuminating Sky Cauldron over ten years ago. Since then, my grandfather never used the Illuminating Sky Cauldron to refine pills again. Until a few days ago, this infant spirit finally became a tangible, flesh-and-blood baby. I was thinking of raising him as a son, but the elder of the Shuiyun clan said that the baby has great karma with Yin Chongyue, so he asked me to give the baby, along with the cauldron, to Yin Chongyue. Yin Chongyue took the cauldron and disappeared.”

Although Yi Zishang loathed to give up the cauldron, he didn’t want to go against a Grandmaster’s intentions. Besides, Yin Chongyue also said at that time that as long as the baby was able to leave the Illuminating Sky Cauldron, he would return the cauldron, so Yi Zishang didn’t ask any more questions.

However, the matter was particularly strange to Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen’s ears.

Yin Chongyue was someone who lived thousands of years ago, and the great powers of his time were basically either dead or living in seclusion now. Moreover, when the Five Continents’ barrier was broken, not many people knew that the demon released from the seal was Yin Chongyue. After all, when Yin Chongyue stirred up the Nine Lands a few thousand years ago, he didn’t actually use this name.

Just who could have great karma with Yin Chongyue?

But it was no use crying over spilt milk. Now that the cauldron was in Yin Chongyue’s hands, it was easier for them.

Lin Xuanzhi said, “I can find Yin Chongyue. Thank you, Fellow Yi, for telling me about this.”

The Illuminating Sky Cauldron was very important, as it related to whether they could give Tu Feng a fatal blow.

Yi Zishang waved his hand. “If you hadn’t come, who knows when my wife and I would’ve been able to reconcile? Speaking of which, I need to thank you.”

Yan Tianhen asked curiously, “How did you reconcile? As far as I know, didn’t Aunt Nichang doubt that you can’t do that?”

Do that?

Yi Zishang understood it, and his mouth twitched. He said mysteriously, “Rather than through eloquent words, some matters are much better resolved through actions.”

Yan Tianhen showed a thoughtful smile.

Once two people had physical intimate contact, the distance would naturally decrease. If Yi Zishang still couldn’t seize such a good opportunity to communicate with Shuiyun Nichang, then he didn’t deserve to be the patriarch of the Yi family.

This time, Yan Zhonghua became a good man and gave them a chance to make up.

Since they knew the whereabouts of the Illuminating Sky Cauldron, Yan Tianhen and Lin Xuanzhi planned to leave first.

After resting for a few days, Shuiyun Nichang finally got up. “You’ve only been here for a few days, yet you’re already leaving.”

Shuiyun Nichang pinched Yan Tianhen’s little face and said, “Aunt doesn’t want Ah Hen to leave.”

Yan Tianhen accepted a lot of illusion array magic treasures from Shuiyun Nichang, so he liked this aunt of his very much. He also nodded. “I don’t want to leave Aunt Nichang either.”

Shuiyun Nichang said, “I already know about the evil spirits. Although the North Land is tens of thousands of miles away from our South Land, I also understand the truth that all the regions are interdependent, and the South Land will suffer as well if the North Land falls. When the time comes, if there is anything you need the South Land to do, just tell me directly. As long as it’s within my power, I won’t shirk my duty.”

Lin Xuanzhi smiled. “Aunt Nichang understands the great sense of honor. Xuanzhi appreciates it.”

Shuiyun Nichang waved her hand and glanced at Yi Zishang, who was standing beside her. “Forget it. Boy, that one sentence of yours almost killed me.”

She had been tossed and turned by Yi Zishang for several days. Her back still hurt a little even now. This was all because Lin Xuanzhi deliberately framed Yi Zishang.

However, having said that, Shuiyun Nichang’s face had a sweet smile. She thought Yi Zishang didn’t touch her because he didn’t like her. On that day, two people rolled in the sheets. The more she thought, the more she felt wronged. She cried and pulled on Yi Zishang’s hair and asked him why he treated her like this.

Unexpectedly, Yi Zishang also felt wronged.

On the night of their wedding ceremony, Yi Zishang planned to let out his joy with her and live happily with her, but before he had entered the door, he saw Shuiyun Nichang sitting on the high platform having a tryst with Yan Zhonghua, and a huge green hat was slammed onto his head.

Yi Zishang became angry, but he didn’t want to break up with his wife. He had no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being.

When she heard that, Shuiyun Nichang’s eyelids twitched a few times. “What tryst? Did you see us hugging each other or kissing each other? At that time, I got some news about You Ming by chance and couldn’t trust someone else to tell him, so I told him directly. Did you really snub me for so many years because of such a thing? Yi Zishang, did you ever care for me?”

Yi Zishang, of course, cared about Shuiyun Nichang, but once a person got into a corner, he might never be able to walk out.

Yi Zishang smiled bitterly. “Who let you like Yan Zhonghua in the past? Everyone in the Nine Lands knows that. Besides, I’m not similar to Yan Zhonghua. I thought…”

“Did you actually believe that I would still have feelings for someone else’s husband, even after marrying you?” Shuiyun Nichang felt humiliated. She slapped Yi Zishang on the face and wanted to leave, saying angrily, “You idiot, stay away from me!”

How could Yi Zishang let Shuiyun Nichang leave right now? He immediately held the person in his arms and put her on the bed, saying, “Plus, you’ve always been very frank with him, but you’re very restrained in front of me.”

Shuiyun Nichang roared, “That’s because Laoniang wants to maintain an image in front of you. I’m afraid you’ll think I’m not steady and mature enough to be seen in public with you!”

Yi Zishang, “…”

How could he still not understand at this point?

My wife is really cute.

The two of them actually had feelings for each other, but they just missed the opportunity to talk. Now that they’ve spoken and resolved everything, they naturally gathered together happily. Even the ice on Yi Zishang’s face had melted a lot.

Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen went to find Yin Chongyue first. You Ming and Yan Zhonghua knew that they wouldn’t be of much help in this matter, so they decided to go back to the North Land first and watch Tu Feng lest he do something he shouldn’t.

Later, You Ming decided to take a trip to the demon realm as well. After all, the current whereabouts of Cangdi Fenglang was somewhere within the demon world. Without further delay, as soon as the four left the South Land, they parted ways.

Lin Xuanzhi found an empty place, took out a magic treasure that could locate someone thousands of miles away, burned some incense, and then dripped a drop of Yin Chongyue’s blood into it. This magic treasure was similar to a compass, and the pointer pointed to the East Land.

“Hmm?” Yan Tianhen said, “What is he doing in the East Land?”

Lin Xuanzhi thought for a moment. “Senior Yin has a special attachment to the East Land.”

Yan Tianhen asked, “Because of Xuan Lou?”

Lin Xuanzhi listened to Yan Tianhen call his ancestor by name without any honorifics, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with that. After all, if they really talked about seniority, Yan Tianhen was much older — he was a powerhouse in the ancient times.

“It can only be because of Xuan Lou.” Lin Xuanzhi pondered, “I don’t know what that baby’s origins are, but nine times out of ten, it’s related to Xuan Lou.”

Yan Tianhen suddenly gasped with widened eyes. “Didn’t you say Xuan Lou re-entered the cycle of reincarnation?”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “Who knows if anything went wrong with his reincarnation. Moreover, that child was born in a pill cauldron, and his future is unlimited. It’s hard to say.”

Yan Tianhen said, “Curious. We’d better find Senior Yin quickly and ask him.”

Lin Xuanzhi had a special way to contact him. However, since Yin Chongyue refused to respond, Lin Xuanzhi had to find the person himself.

They didn’t have the luxury to sightsee the scenery. They used a transmission array sent by the South Sovereign and burned hundreds of spirit sparrows. Within four hours, they had appeared on the territory of the East Land.

The East Land was full of towering mountains, most of which were extremely steep and waterfalls flew down, which was very spectacular.

“Not in the imperial city.” Lin Xuanzhi took the locating compass and looked at the direction of the pointer. “Let’s follow the compass first.”

They walked for a while and came to a deserted cliff. Looking down, there was a transparent cloud, and the water was so deep that the bottom couldn’t be seen. It looked as if the abyss had opened its jaws. Normal people would not want to jump down when they saw this, but they wanted to find a person, and the direction of the compass was here, so they had to go down.

Yan Tianhen said, “I’ll go down first and take a look.”

Lin Xuanzhi said, “Let’s go together.”

Anyhow, he’d still be worried if Yan Tianhen went down alone. Of course, they also thought of the possibility that this would be a trap, but after thinking about Yin Chongyue’s personality and behavior, they thought that this was very unlikely.

Of course, the two had great strength. Even if there was some scheme here, they still wouldn’t panic. The cliff looked very deep and was actually very deep. However, there was no danger along the way. Even demonic beast encounters were rare.

The mist thickened the further down they went. After a moment, Yan Tianhen saw a great lake full of lotus flowers. The lake was sparkling, the blue waves rippling at first glance, and the water was deep and clear. The spiritual Qi at the bottom of the valley was very rich, which was like a treasure trove of spiritual energy.

It was just that the fog was thicker here, but it didn’t interfere with those who had high cultivation. However, it was surprising that no one else found this place.

“Who is it?” A familiar voice came, and Yin Chongyue emerged from the thick fog. When he saw Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen, he was taken aback and asked, “Why did you two come here?”

Yan Tianhen said, “Senior Yin, my Dage has been looking for you for a long time, but you didn’t respond, so he found you himself.”

Yin Chongyue was even more puzzled. “What do you want from me? Didn’t you say that you would first go to Fuyao Sect to find Esteemed Lan Yue and ask about divination?”

Lin Xuanzhi replied, “The two of us are here for the Illuminating Sky Cauldron.”

Yin Chongyue’s face suddenly changed.

At this moment, Yan Tianhen heard Yin Nian’s voice.

“Daddy, come quickly, the little ancestor is throwing a fit again because he can’t find you! I can’t placate him– ow ow ow, don’t pull my hair, it hurts!”

Yin Chongyue coughed a little unnaturally under Lin Xuanzhi and Yan Tianhen’s stares. “Come with me first. Whether the Illuminating Sky Cauldron can be taken away still needs to be discussed with that little ancestor.”
