The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2248: Purification Begins

After an unknown amount of time, the blazing golden flame finally stopped beating slowly, like a warrior who had gone through countless fierce battles and exhausted all his strength at the last moment, and fell into a quiet sleep exhausted.

The light of the flame flickered stubbornly at first, but gradually dimmed as time passed. However, the remaining glimmer left an indelible mark in this secluded and silent cave.

Matthew slowly opened his eyes, and an unprecedented light flashed in his eyes. The light was like the dawn, dazzling and brilliant. It contained the excitement after successfully refining the Nine-Transformation Golden Elixir spiritual consciousness, the satisfaction of achieving the goal, and the vision of a future full of infinite possibilities.

He took a deep breath, his chest heaving violently.

The spiritual consciousness of the Nine-Transformation Golden Pill has been successfully refined by him.

Matthew moved his hand slightly, and the golden flame disappeared completely in an instant like a dream bubble, leaving only a faint golden light, like petals dancing in the wind in spring, slowly rippling in the air.

At this moment, a strange mass of air was suspended in front of him.

Half of this air mass is pure white, just like the whitest and most flawless snowflakes in winter, emitting a soft and warm breath in silence, as if it could dispel all the darkness and coldness in the world.

The other half is deep black, like the endless night sky, mysterious and deep, as if hiding all the mysteries of the universe.

This ball of air was refined from the two struggling figures before, and it was floating there quietly.

"Thank you for your help, Senior!"

Matthew stared at the ball of air in front of him, his mouth slightly open, and spoke in a low and sincere voice.

His words echoed in the silent cave, carrying with them a strong sense of gratitude and deep respect for the old man Zi Ding.

These few simple words carry the most sincere emotions from the bottom of his heart.

"It's okay. I didn't expect that the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill that caused such a sensation in the upper realm back then would fail to be refined and fall here."

The voice of the old man Zi Ding echoed slowly in Matthew's spiritual sea. The voice seemed to have traveled through the tunnel of time and space, carrying with it a bit of emotion and sigh.

Every word was like a stone, causing ripples in Matthew's heart.

"However, don't hold your hopes too high. Although the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is an extremely rare elixir, it was a failed refining after all. Moreover, there is something I still want to tell you. The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill has already given birth to spiritual consciousness. Even if you have refined it, as long as spiritual consciousness appears, it will definitely affect the quality of the elixir."

There was a hint of worry in the old man Zi Ding's voice, as if a kind father was advising his child who was about to go on a long journey, full of concern and anxiety.

Matthew listened quietly to the words of the old man Zi Ding, and ripples appeared in his heart.

He was indeed a cultivator from the lower realm, and he knew very little about the affairs of the upper realm. No matter how smart he was or how quick his mind was, it was impossible for him to guess so many secrets out of thin air.

Everything he had said before, and all the seemingly unfathomable things he had done, were secretly told to him by the old man Zi Ding.

All the superficial efforts that Matthew made, besides trying to make the two spiritual consciousnesses fear him, also had another important purpose, which was to make the four alien beast kings follow him more wholeheartedly.

In this world where the strong prey on the weak and the strong are respected, strength is certainly the foundation for survival, but a mysterious temperament and unpredictable means can also inspire awe.

The more mysterious you act, the more afraid others will be of you, and they will dare not have any other thoughts.

Matthew raised his head and looked at everything in the distance with empty eyes, but his thoughts had already drifted far away.

"Senior, I understand. Then let's use the purple cauldron to purify the thing in front of us."

After a moment, Matthew took a deep breath and said, his voice was firm and full of determination.

He knew that the process of purifying this gas mass would be full of difficulties and obstacles, but he was not afraid.

The old man in purple cauldron pondered for a moment and said, "This purification process is not simple. If you are not careful, not only will all your efforts be wasted, but it will also cause great harm to your body and spiritual consciousness. You must think it through."

There was a hint of caution in his voice, as if to remind Matthew that this would be a more severe test.

Hearing this, Matthew's eyes flashed with determination, and he said, "Senior, I have made up my mind. Since I have chosen this path, I will not give up easily. Moreover, I believe that with the guidance of the senior, I will definitely succeed."

His words were full of trust in the old man Zi Ding and confidence in himself.

The old man in purple cauldron sighed softly and said, "Okay, since you have made up your mind, I will lend you a helping hand. However, before you start, you need to calm down and adjust your state. This purification process requires your full concentration and you cannot be distracted at all. In addition, you will need a lot of spiritual objects. Although this is a failed Nine Revolutions Golden Pill, its quality is beyond your imagination."

Matthew nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and began to adjust his breathing and mood.

His thoughts gradually calmed down, like a calm lake without a single ripple.

The purification method taught to him by the old man Zi Ding began to emerge in his mind. Every step and every detail was extremely clear.

This time the purification of the elixir is different from the previous times, and a special purification method must be used.

The old man Zi Ding had already told him about this matter in advance.

After an unknown amount of time, Matthew slowly opened his eyes, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He knew that he was ready. He raised his hand and made a light gesture. A purple light flew out of his body and instantly turned into a huge purple cauldron, floating in front of him.

Matthew quickly made hand gestures and muttered something.

As he moved, the strange gas ball floating in front of him slowly flew towards the purple tripod.

The moment the air mass touched the purple cauldron, it suddenly vibrated violently.

Matthew was concentrating on controlling the purple cauldron. He saw the lid of the purple cauldron slowly open. A powerful suction force came out from the cauldron, instantly sucking the air into the cauldron.

Immediately afterwards, the body of the purple cauldron began to flash purple light.

Matthew's face was calm and he patted his storage bag.

A large number of rare things appeared in front of him.

If these things were left outside, they would definitely cause countless people to scramble for them.

But now, Matthew turned a blind eye.

With a wave of his arm, all the things he took out flew into the purple cauldron.

Normally, a large amount of spirit stones are needed to purify elixirs, and this is even more so now.
