The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2480 Wu Kun's Advice

When Mr. Qinglian heard Matthew's response, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He smiled bitterly and slowly shook his head, his expression full of helplessness.

She waved her hand gently and said, "Although I know a lot of unpopular secret techniques, I really don't know how to crack the Soul-shaking Technique. This technique is too strange, and I haven't found a way to crack it."

Hearing this, Matthew nodded slightly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something.

Then, he spoke slowly, his voice calm but with a hint of regret: "We don't know how to crack this secret technique, it seems we can't help this time. There is no point in staying here, so we'll take our leave first."

After saying this, Matthew stood up, his movements calm and resolute.

Upon seeing this, Xingyan and Yueru immediately stood up and bowed respectfully to Master Qinglian.

They knew very well that it would be useless to disturb Mr. Qinglian at this time, so it would be better to leave for the time being and make long-term plans.

Mr. Qinglian looked at Matthew and the other two, a look of loneliness on his face.

Her eyes were full of disappointment, yet also a hint of expectation.

She was about to send Matthew and the other two away, but on second thought, she couldn't help but reach out to stop them.

"Fellow Daoist, can you go and take a look at Yan Shuang?"

Mr. Qinglian said softly, with a hint of pleading in his words.

Her eyes were fixed on Matthew, as if she was begging for something.

"I don't know any medical skills, why do you want me to see it?" Matthew asked with some confusion.

He didn't understand why Mr. Qinglian made such a request. He was just a cultivator and knew nothing about medicine. What point would it be of any use for him to see Yan Shuang?

But this time, Mr. Qinglian did not answer, but slowly took out a painting from his storage bag.

The painting was framed very delicately. The paper was slightly yellowed, but it exuded a sense of time.

Matthew took the painting, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at it carefully.

The scene in the painting is a coast, with the afterglow of the setting sun shining on the sea, making the waves sparkle and the sea water glow golden.

A man sits quietly on the beach, with his back to the picture and his body upright.

A woman leaned against him with a smile on her face, and the two of them were immersed in this peaceful and beautiful atmosphere.

Matthew stared at the painting blankly, with a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.

His memory seemed to be awakened by this painting, and every bit of the past came flooding back like a tide.

Soon, he recognized that the man in the painting was himself, and the woman was Wu Yanshuang.

At this moment, Matthew also remembered that this was the scene when he and Wu Yanshuang were sitting on an island and chatting.

The days back then were so leisurely and comfortable. They talked about everything and shared each other's joys and sorrows.

He had completely forgotten about the incident, but Wu Yanshuang actually drew it.

"What a beautiful painting..." Matthew said softly with a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

There was a hint of tenderness in his eyes, as if he had returned to that beautiful time.

"In fact, that girl has always had a crush on you, but later she suppressed her feelings and followed me to practice in order to seek revenge. There were many paintings like this, but I later thought that this would delay her practice, so I destroyed them all and only left this one. Now, her condition is very bad and she may die at any time. If possible, I would like to ask you to go and see her."

Mr. Qinglian said slowly, his eyes full of worry.

Matthew looked at the scroll in the hands of Master Qinglian, feeling mixed emotions.

He didn't expect that Wu Yanshuang had such deep feelings for him, but he had never noticed it.

He was silent for a moment, and finally nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll go take a look."

Matthew took the scroll with both hands, rolled it up carefully, and put it into the storage bag.

Afterwards, he followed Master Qinglian alone to a wooden house next door.

The wooden house is decorated quite elegantly and is very clean and tidy.

The air was filled with a faint fragrance, mixed with the unique scent of women.

Matthew walked quietly into the house and saw a carved wooden bed in the middle of the room with a woman lying on it.

This woman was Wu Yanshuang. She was still beautiful, but her originally flawless face was now covered with many black spots.

These spots were like evil marks, destroying her original beauty.

However, the black spots did not exist all the time, but appeared frequently with Wu Yanshuang's breathing.

Her breathing was steady, but her brows were slightly furrowed, and she looked like she was in great pain.

Matthew walked to the bedside and looked at the beauty lying on the bed, with a complicated look in his eyes.

The woman who used to be lively and cheerful with a sweet smile has now become like this. He couldn't help but feel pity for her.

After looking for a few times, Matthew moved his fingers, and a ray of purple light shot out from his fingertips, turning into a purple silk thread and then wrapped around Wu Yanshuang's wrist.

Since he was here, he might as well check on Wu Yanshuang's physical condition.

The situation inside Wu Yanshuang's body was indeed very bad. His breath was disordered, and especially his soul was in a very strange state.

After just a short inspection, Matthew discovered that Wu Yanshuang's soul had become a little weaker in such a short period of time.

If it continues to weaken at this rate, I'm afraid it will be destroyed in a short time.

Although he felt sorry, Matthew was powerless to do anything.

Just as Matthew cut off the magic thread wrapped around Wu Yan's wrists and was about to leave.

Wu Kun's voice rang in my mind.

"I still remember this girl, but I didn't expect that she has already entered the Spiritual Transformation Stage. I have a way to eliminate the secret technique in her body, but after eliminating it, her foundation will be damaged. It is possible that she will not be able to make any further progress in this lifetime."

Wu Kun’s words made Matthew frown slightly.

He did not believe Wu Kun's words, knowing that the other party must have a purpose in saying this.

"What good will this do for you?" Matthew asked in a voice transmission.

"I absorbed the secrets in her body, which can nourish me."

Wu Kun was very honest this time and stated his purpose straightforwardly.

Matthew did not continue to communicate with Wu Kun via telepathy, but turned to look at the Qinglian monk standing beside him.

"I just thought of a way that might be able to remove the secret technique from her body, but that method has great uncertainty. Even if it succeeds, Fairy Wu's foundation will be damaged. It is very likely that she will only be able to stay in the Nascent Soul stage in this life." Matthew said after exhaling lightly.

Hearing this, Mr. Qinglian was slightly stunned.

But he recovered quickly, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Obviously considering Matthew's words.
