Chapter 187 The Final Winner
When his elder brother went back to retrieve the cauldron, Han Li thought for a moment and then followed him.
If someone else takes the cauldron, he won't even get to drink the soup or eat the meat; he might even have to worry about being killed to cover it up.
But Qingfeng is different; his older brother genuinely gives him benefits.
Seeing Han Li follow along, Qingfeng walked ahead and smiled.
That's the difference between him and Wan Tianming.
As a boss, Wan Tianming is so stingy with his subordinates, it's no wonder that no one would genuinely put in any effort.
He is never stingy with the people around him.
People like Han Li, Xuan Gu, Man Hu Zi, and Qing Yi are all like this.
To be a qualified leader, one must not only be strong enough, but also know how to use "coercion, incentives, and inducements" effectively.
Xuan Gu's transformation from being forced to work by him at the beginning to now willingly becoming his dog for his own benefit is a case in point.
"The Star Palace's domineering rule over so many years has finally been ruined by Jin Kui. With its strength weakened, it still tries to use conspiracies and tricks, which will inevitably lead to a counterattack from both the righteous and demonic paths."
While explaining the situation in the Chaotic Star Sea, Qingfeng also commanded the Illusion Flame Moth to use its hidden supernatural powers.
Han Li followed behind him, nodding repeatedly as he listened.
He had always been a rogue cultivator, and his channels for obtaining firsthand information were limited, far less than what Qingfeng knew about the inside story.
"Brother Qing, after we retrieve the cauldron, how long do we need to stay in the Void Heaven Palace before it's safe to leave?"
Han Li asked.
"Hehe, there's still almost a month before the Void Heaven Palace closes. The teleportation array I just repaired leads to a secret room on the second floor."
As far as I know, there are ten-thousand-year-old spiritual liquids and soul-nourishing wood there. However, there are magical array restrictions blocking the way, and it will be very slow for me to break through the array alone. I will need your help, Brother Han.
Qingfeng said with a smile.
"Soul-Nourishing Wood, one of the three divine woods! It is said that wearing it can nourish the soul and primordial spirit, and strengthen the divine consciousness."
Moreover, this wood can house a soul, ensuring that the mind remains intact.
Han Li said in surprise.
"After we retrieve the cauldron, I can take a portion as payment for Brother Han's help."
Qingfeng offered a price.
"Well... then I'll accept it without hesitation."
Upon hearing that there were benefits to be gained, Han Li immediately perked up.
The two people and the puppet returned to Hanlitai by the same route.
"It seems that those Nascent Soul stage monsters have all left, but just in case, we should still set up a few more formations outside the Heavenly Gang Shield to ensure we can safely retrieve the cauldron."
Qingfeng took out several sets of array flags and distributed them to Xuangu and Hanli, so that the two of them could set them up together to save time.
Although the Heavenly Gang Cover outside Hanli Terrace can shield the fluctuations, the momentum after taking the cauldron will definitely be considerable.
Just in case, Qingfeng prepared isolation arrays, and finally set up the Starry Nine Palaces Array.
After the magic array was set up, they climbed the long steps and returned to the altar at the top of the platform.
At this moment, the azure ice flames in the deep cave of the altar surged and burned fiercely, emanating a chilling aura.
The corpses of the strange beasts that had been used to pull the cauldron on the altar were still lying quietly in place.
"Xuan Gu, you're in charge of these corpses. Brother Han, your other Blood Jade Spider is the main force; we'll be relying on you when we're pulling the cauldron later."
My two smaller ones can assist you from both sides.
Qingfeng opened the spirit beast pouch and summoned two blood jade spiders, each only the size of a person.
Meanwhile, Xuan Gu manipulated the puppet to unleash a burst of light that disappeared into the corpses of the Blood Jade Spider, the Mutant Fire Python, and the Flame Toad on the altar.
In the blink of an eye, a large patch of pale green mist emanated from these corpses, enveloping them, and was quickly absorbed by the corpses.
The mangled corpses, which were originally beyond dead, spontaneously closed up and came together.
Then, several strange beasts covered in corpse energy stood up unsteadily.
This is the secret technique of Extreme Yin Island... Corpse Refining Technique.
"Although these beast-refined corpses can't move for long, with the help of one large and two small Blood Jade Spiders, the speed at which they pull the cauldron should be even faster than before."
Qingfeng thought to himself.
He looked at the Void Heaven Cauldron beneath the deep cave of the altar, then summoned his Sea-Suppressing Demon-Refining Tower to cover the two people and the puppet.
"Let's begin."
Qingfeng made a hand seal, causing the two small spiders to spray out spider silk.
Han Li disregarded his grief over the death of the spirit insects and urged the remaining Blood Jade Spiders to begin pulling the cauldron.
As several corpses were refined, the large and small Blood Jade Spiders exerted their strength simultaneously, and the Void Heaven Cauldron beneath the deep cave of the altar was pulled up once again.
The platform began to shake violently, and blue flames shot out from its base.
Seeing this, Qingfeng activated his magic power to keep the scattered flames outside the pagoda.
Without anyone else interfering, the process of pulling the cauldron went smoothly.
When the Void Heaven Cauldron was pulled back to the altar, the blue ice flames suddenly began to surge, freezing the entire area of more than ten zhang around the altar.
Fortunately, Qingfeng had made preparations in advance and activated the Zhenhai Demon Refining Tower to withstand the attack.
"The Void Heaven Cauldron has finally appeared!"
"This is the Void Heaven Cauldron!"
Xuan Gu and Han Li were both excited.
Right now, right in front of them is the legendary number one treasure of the Chaotic Star Sea!
However, Qingfeng, who was standing to the side, was not very excited.
He knew the origins of the Void Heaven Cauldron perfectly well, and knew that it was a replica of the Heavenly Cauldron Palace key made by the Ice Soul Fairy.
"This Dry Blue Ice Flame is quite a nuisance."
A ball of golden lightning appeared in Qingfeng's left hand, and a ball of pitch-black demonic flame appeared in his right hand.
A ball of golden lightning appeared in Qingfeng's left hand, and a ball of pitch-black demonic flame appeared in his right hand.
To collect the cauldron, you must first separate the Azure Ice Flame.
He clasped his hands together and simultaneously unleashed lightning and fire upon the Azure Ice Flame atop the Void Heaven Cauldron.
"What kind of demonic flames are these?! They look somewhat like the Heavenly Capital Corpse Flames, but they're completely different. And that lightning ball looks like it was formed by suppressing a large amount of evil-repelling divine lightning."
Han Li stared wide-eyed at the terrifying blue flames that Qingfeng had separated from.
Qingfeng's fusion demonic flames and Qianlan ice flames intertwined, slowly forming an ice lotus.
But the ice lotus was unstable and began to rebel.
Qingfeng changed the spell in his hand, refining the Azure Ice Flame, Evil-Repelling Divine Thunder, and Demonic Flame into a blue sphere.
"It's done!"
Looking at the ice bead in his hand, Qingfeng's face lit up with joy.
When these three are combined, they become even stronger than the Asura Sacred Flame and the Violet Extreme Flame.
His main cultivation technique, "Mysterious Thunder Demon Flame Technique," does not have a fixed form of demon flame; it can continue to fuse with some dry blue ice flame to enhance its destructive power.
After putting away the Azure Ice Pearl, Qingfeng looked at the Void Heaven Cauldron.
At this moment, Han Li and Xuan Gu curiously gathered around, observing the legendary treasure.
The Void Heaven Cauldron is flat and round, with two handles and three legs. It is about four feet tall and about ten feet in diameter.
The top has a slightly convex circular lid, and the surrounding area is carved with insects, fish, animals, mountains, rivers and trees.
It looks simple and rough, but it has a wild and ancient feel to it.
"This cauldron doesn't look particularly special."
Han Li knocked on it out of curiosity.
"It doesn't have any special features..."
Even Xuan Gu, a Nascent Soul cultivator, didn't see anything particularly impressive about him.
"This is just a broken cauldron; we should go."
With a wave of his hand, Qingfeng caused the Void Heaven Cauldron to spin around and obediently fly to his front.
The reason he could control the Void Cauldron so easily was probably because of the Silver Moon in his pocket.
However, Qingfeng didn't expose him. He would have plenty of time to deal with this little wolf after they got out.
