Chapter 2368 Reconstruction, Disappointment
For mortals, a month may be just a moment in the change of seasons, but for immortal cultivators, it is enough time to accomplish many things.
During the month that Matthew was in seclusion refining the elixir, the Golden City stood up again from the ruins like a phoenix reborn from the ashes.
The methods used by immortal cultivators are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.
They could move mountains and fill the sea, call the wind and rain, and repairing a city was no problem for them.
In just one month, the buildings that were destroyed by the Black Evil Cult sprang up again like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
Although there are still traces of fighting in some places, as if telling of the tragic battle, it no longer affects the daily life of the residents in the city.
Most of the people who originally lived in the Golden City were independent cultivators.
They have no sect or school, and wander around everywhere. The Golden City is their home.
When the Black Evil Cult attacked, they were forced to flee their homes. Now that they see the Golden City has been restored to its original state, they have returned one after another.
After all, compared to wandering outside and living in fear, the Golden City is much safer with the Golden Armor guarding it.
What's more, the Black Evil Cult has been defeated and it is impossible for it to make a comeback in a short period of time.
And Huang Jinjia, the great monk who has reached the state of incarnation, is still sitting in the city, directing the restoration work of the city, which makes the monks in the city feel more at ease.
Perhaps it was God's will. Just when Ma finished making the elixir and walked out to get some fresh air, a group of wandering cultivators who had come from other places happened to enter the city.
Matthew originally just took a casual glance, but he didn't expect that this glance would lead him to discover an unexpected surprise.
Among this group of cultivators' followers, there was actually a mortal, and this mortal actually possessed a natural spiritual root!
A person with natural spiritual roots is a rare talent in cultivation. As long as he does not die prematurely, he will surely become a giant in the future.
Matthew suppressed his excitement and checked carefully. After confirming that everything was correct, he immediately took this mortal to find the golden armor.
When Huang Jinjia saw this person, he was surprised and happy.
He searched for hundreds of years, but he didn't expect that after searching everywhere for a long time, he would find it without any effort.
This mortal was named Li Ergou. Although his name was vulgar, he was actually very smart.
He has been following immortal cultivators for many years, and through the influence of what he has seen and heard, he has a basic understanding of the affairs of the immortal world.
When he learned that he had a natural spiritual root and had the opportunity to embark on the path of cultivating immortals, he was so excited that his whole body trembled. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed, begging Huang Jinjia to accept him as a disciple.
However, Huang Jinjia did not agree immediately.
He has lived for more than a thousand years and has seen too many geniuses fall. He knows that character and personality are the key to determining how far a person can go.
He decided to observe Li Ergou for a while to see what his character was like and whether he was worth training.
Matthew didn't care about this.
His mission was only to help the Golden Armor find a successor. As for how to test the Golden Armor, that was his business.
In the following days, Huang Jinjia began to secretly observe Li Ergou.
He deliberately assigned some hard and tiring work to Li Ergou to see if he could endure hardship.
He asked other monks to deliberately make things difficult for Li Ergou to see if he could endure the humiliation.
He even created some illusions to test Li Ergou's character.
Although Li Ergou was born in a humble family, he had a strong character.
He never backs down in the face of difficulties.
Even in the face of temptation, you can remain true to yourself.
The news of Huang Jinjia accepting a disciple caused quite a stir in the Golden City.
After all, the closed disciple of a great monk who has reached the state of incarnation must have a bright future.
However, none of this has anything to do with Matthew.
He left the Golden City quietly like a passerby without attracting anyone's attention.
As early as half a month ago, Xingyan and Yueru had conveyed the message to him through secret methods.
It was just that Ma Zheng was at a critical moment in refining the elixir at that time and couldn't get away.
Now, he has fulfilled two of the conditions of the Golden Armor, and it is time for him to leave and do his own thing.
Matthew's figure streaked across the sky and rushed away into the distance.
His destination was where Xingyan and Yueru were.
Matthew already knew the positions of the two girls.
There is a special connection between them, and even though they are thousands of miles apart, they can still sense each other's presence.
After flying for a distance, Matthew landed on an inconspicuous hilltop.
This place may seem ordinary, but Matthew knows that this is just an appearance.
Sure enough, the moment his feet touched the ground, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
The original green mountains and clear waters disappeared without a trace, replaced by a pitch-black cave entrance, like a huge mouth, waiting for the arrival of prey.
Matthew looked calm, not the slightest bit surprised.
He had known for a long time that everything here was an illusion cast by Yueru in order to cover this place up and prevent it from being discovered.
He stepped into the cave and his figure was instantly swallowed by the darkness.
The passage inside the cave is not long, but for ordinary people, it is like a maze and it is difficult to find the right direction.
However, Matthew flashed quickly in the passage as if he was strolling in the garden, and after a few breaths, he came to a spacious cave.
In the cave, Xingyan and Yueru had been waiting for a long time. When they saw Matthew, they immediately bowed in unison and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master!"
Matthew nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the two women, and asked in a deep voice: "How could that guy run away?"
Originally, he thought that if Xing Yan and Yue Ru attacked at the same time, they could capture the Black Evil Sect's divine monk alive.
However, the news sent back by the two girls greatly disappointed him.
Hearing Matthew's question, the two girls showed a look of disappointment on their faces and began to tell about the situation when they were chasing the Black Evil Sect's divine monk.
After listening to the two girls' stories, Matthew's gloomy expression eased a little.
“So it seems that there are at least three Divine Transformation monks in the Black Evil Sect.” Matthew said in a deep voice.
Xing Yan and Yue Ru were going very smoothly in their pursuit of the Black Evil Sect's divine monk, and they had even severely injured him.
But just when they were planning to capture the monk alive, an accident occurred.
Two unfamiliar gods suddenly appeared and stopped them.
From the clothes of the two strange monks, Xingyan and Yueru could also judge that they were also members of the Black Evil Sect.
Moreover, the skills he used were exactly the same as those used by the Black Evil Cultivator.
Xing Yan and Yue Ru had already consumed a lot of their magic power when they were fighting with the Black Evil Divine Monk. After all, both parties were monks of the same level.
Moreover, the opponent's methods are quite strange.
After a fierce battle, although Xingyan and Yueru also severely injured the two strange gods, they still escaped in the end.
After wasting so much time, the two of them had no way to continue the pursuit.
No one knows whether there are other gods behind the Black Evil Sect, and blind pursuit may put oneself in danger.
