Chapter 180 – Wang Weijun’s cave mansion


“This is a Fetal Nourishing Cauldron. If you refine it well, you can use it for alchemy after Foundation Establishment. Of course, under my guidance, you should improve the grade of the Pill Cauldron!”

Mi Xiaojing found that this guy was not only arrogant but also very smug. He asked, “Should I refine it now?”

“No, you currently have a Pill Cauldron for alchemy, so there’s no need to use this one for now. Besides, your cultivation level is relatively low, so it would be difficult to upgrade the Fetal Nourishing Cauldron.”

Mi Xiaojing said, “The name of this Pill Cauldron is so lame. Is it the original name? How about we change it? I think the Blazing Cloud Cauldron sounds much better!”

“No, it’s just a name I casually came up with…”

“What? That’s too… So, the Blazing Cloud Cauldron is also a random name?”

“Idiot, the name Blazing Cloud Cauldron is engraved on the Pill Cauldron. You don’t pay attention to details at all…”

Mi Xiaojing didn’t believe it, so he took out the Blazing Cloud Cauldron from his storage bracelet. Sure enough, he saw three ancient characters at the bottom of the Pill Cauldron, which indeed read “Blazing Cloud Cauldron”. Mi Xiaojing was speechless. He looked at the new Pill Cauldron he had just received, and there was not a single character on it.

No matter how he looked at it, Mi Xiaojing couldn’t see anything special about this Pill Cauldron.

“Idiot, you already have Divine Sense… Can what you see with your eyes be the same as what you see with your Divine Sense? When a cultivator observes something, if they really want to be meticulous, they must use their Divine Sense! You are now a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage, not at the Qi Refining stage. You’re still using your eyes to observe an object, it’s driving me crazy!”

Mi Xiaojing was a bit annoyed by the scolding. Although he knew Wang Weijun was right, he was not happy with being called an idiot all the time: “Are you angry? Then you can go die for a while.”

For some reason, he blurted out this sentence, and he felt much better after saying it.

“Gah!”

Wang Weijun was stunned. This guy had been getting a bit carried away recently, and he didn’t expect to be scolded by Mi Xiaojing. He instinctively wanted to retort, but then he thought, no! He couldn’t retort like that. He had finally gained Mi Xiaojing’s approval. If they had a falling out, he would be the one to suffer in the end. He had to maintain Mi Xiaojing’s absolute trust.

“Alright, I’ll go die for a while.”

Wang Weijun disappeared from the Heart Tower. He went back to the Mantra Banner, while secretly observing Mi Xiaojing’s reaction.

“Uh…”

This time it was Mi Xiaojing’s turn to be stunned. He really went back! When did this old man become so sensitive? Actually, he was already feeling a bit regretful. Although Wang Weijun kept calling him an idiot, he was indeed giving him guidance.

Mi Xiaojing reflected on his actions and felt that he had gone a bit too far. However, he didn’t apologize and chose to remain silent. He couldn’t let Wang Weijun develop the habit of scolding people, as it was too frustrating.

Both of them stopped talking. Wang Weijun noticed that Mi Xiaojing was also silent, and he couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious. His goal was simple: to gain Mi Xiaojing’s trust and seize the opportunity to take over Mi Xiaojing’s body. He didn’t expect that his habitual scolding would annoy Mi Xiaojing, and he also regretted it.

He began to ponder how to restart the conversation with Mi Xiaojing.

Mi Xiaojing quickly put this matter aside. He began to examine the Pill Cauldron with his Divine Sense according to Wang Weijun’s instructions. This time, he found that it was indeed different.

The structure of this Pill Cauldron was very complex, with layers of spirit patterns, at least one grade higher than the Blazing Cloud Cauldron. Then he noticed that the mouth of the cauldron had been blown open. Mi Xiaojing knew that this was a problem that occurred during the condensation process when refining a certain Spirit Pill.

The complex spirit pattern array had lost its function.

The other parts were intact. In fact, Mi Xiaojing could see that these Pill Cauldrons, whether it was the Blazing Cloud Cauldron he had obtained before, Chen Shouyi’s gourd-shaped large Pill Cauldron, or the current Fetal Nourishing Cauldron, were all nameless Pill Cauldrons in the Cultivation World, and they couldn’t be considered famous artifacts at all.

If he really wanted to improve his alchemy skills and increase the success rate of pill production, he would need a better Pill Cauldron.

“Sigh, this Pill Cauldron is just so-so, it’s not good at all.”

Mi Xiaojing couldn’t help but sigh. Just then, Wang Weijun spoke up.

“Actually, I have a very good Pill Cauldron… in the cave where I secluded myself.”

Mi Xiaojing didn’t want to have a falling out with Wang Weijun. When he heard him speak, he immediately asked, “Oh, what kind of Pill Cauldron? Can we get it?”

Wang Weijun sighed secretly. The reason why he didn’t put his Pill Cauldron into the Immortal Pouch was that he was refining a batch of pills in his Pill Cauldron. That batch of pills needed a period of nurturing to cultivate their spirituality.

The time span for this kind of thing was at least a decade, and the longer the better. That’s why he had always kept it in his cave.

“We can get it, but it should be very far from here. Even with my guidance, you need to reach the Foundation Establishment stage to enter my cave. Even if you stand in front of my cave now, you still can’t get in.”

Mi Xiaojing asked, “Could any experts break in?”

Wang Weijun proudly raised his head: “Not to brag, but even if all the Elemental Infant stage experts from the Heart Sect were to join forces, they wouldn’t be able to enter my cave, no matter what methods they used. Even cultivators at a higher level would be useless!”

“Really? Is it that powerful?”

“Of course! Absolutely!”

The old man was being arrogant again. Mi Xiaojing said, “Then it’s very safe. When we have time, we can go and take a look… Besides the Pill Cauldron, can we also get a batch of pills? Haha, wouldn’t that be a profit?”

Wang Weijun thought to himself, “Profit my ass. I’ll give it to you first, and when I take over your body, everything will be mine! It’s not a big deal to give you something else first.”

He said, “Yes! Yes! You’re the one who will profit. Don’t worry, I will guide you to get it!”

Mi Xiaojing didn’t think too much about it. He didn’t wonder why Wang Weijun was so enthusiastic about giving him his things, or why Wang Weijun, who had a cave outside, was still in his body. After all, he was still a child and couldn’t think of many things.However, Mi Xiaojing was also growing rapidly. Under the guidance of Wang Weijun, an old hand in the Cultivation World, even the purest child would gradually become impure.

In fact, Mi Xiaojing had his own thoughts on many things, such as his true thoughts, which he had never shared with Wang Weijun.

What he discussed most with Wang Weijun were various inheritances, various alchemy methods, various skills, and issues related to cultivation. However, he never discussed his own thoughts, his understanding of the Cultivation World, or his views on Cultivators with Wang Weijun.

Generally speaking, it was Wang Weijun who spoke, and Mi Xiaojing who listened.

“Good, go get it when the time comes!”
