The First Saint of Dan Dao

Chapter 369: The Greedy Cauldron

These days, the entire Tingxiang Kingdom is in a state of great shock.

The Zuo Xiang Mansion was destroyed, and all forces associated with it began to be eliminated one by one by the royal family.

Afterwards, Zizhu City and Luoshamen, two of the three major forces in Tingxiang Country, suddenly joined forces with the royal family to jointly eliminate Juxian Palace. Juxian Palace, one of the three major forces, disappeared from the Tingxiang territory within a day.

Next, Wending Danpu and Miaodanfang announced their cooperation in a high-profile manner, fully occupying the Tingxiang elixir market and preparing to expand into neighboring countries.

Finally, the royal family finally achieved the requirement originally mentioned by Tang Yan: to resist foreign aggression, one must first stabilize the internal situation.

At this moment, Tingxiang has become an unprecedentedly cohesive country.

The key person who helped the royal family overcome the difficulties was the legendary Lord Tang.

All the enemies who knew Tang Yan's identity have been eliminated, and the royal family has completely blocked the news about Tang Yan from the outside world, so there are still many people who don't know who Lord Tang is.

Various legends about Lord Tang began to spread in the imperial city.

Just when everyone was making a fuss about Lord Tang's deeds, a piece of news came like a thunderclap, shaking the entire Tingxiang Kingdom.

Zizhu City suddenly issued a wanted order:

Lord Tang abducted Ziyun from Zizhu City and his whereabouts are still unknown. We are searching for Lord Tang with all our strength. Anyone who provides important clues will be rewarded with 1 billion taels of silver!

At the same time, Wending Danpu also issued an order:

Although Lord Tang is a meritorious official of the royal family, he is actually an undercover agent of a certain force in the Northern Spirit Realm, and stole 16 sets of precious elixir recipes from the Wending Alchemy Shop. If you can catch Lord Tang, you will be rewarded with 3 billion taels of silver, and all future consumption at Wending will be free!

……

There were still many pieces of news similar to the wanted warrant for Tang Yan, which spread in large and small circles, and Lord Tang, who was originally famous, became notorious in an instant.

The 1 billion taels of silver offered by Zizhu City was enough to make any power in Tingxiang jealous, and many people began to search for Lord Tang all over the world. When the reward for the top pill shop was announced, the high price and the free treatment of all pills excited the heroes.

Finding Lord Tang seems to have become the quickest way to get rich.

No one would have thought that this was all a carefully planned scheme by Tang Yan to fool Mingyou Valley in the Northern Spirit Realm and divert their attention from Zizhu City to himself.

At this moment, Tang Yan was already in the secret realm left for him by Qing Xuan.

The Four-Directions Spirit Formation!

The time has come to activate the formation. According to Qingxuan's previous instructions, as long as the four spirit beasts open their mouths at the same time, they will be on the stone platform in the middle.

The spiritual energy around him diffused and gradually became thicker. All the pores on his body opened up, automatically absorbing the spiritual energy in the air.

His eyes were fixed on the four spiritual beasts. Finally, when the spiritual energy in the air became as thick as honey, the mouths of the four spiritual beasts slowly opened.

Tang Yan was delighted and rushed to the stone platform as fast as lightning.

Then, four streams of extremely pure spiritual energy quickly sprayed towards Tang Yan.

The spiritual energy is so cool that it penetrates into the bones, and can be directly converted into Yuanli without even having to circulate it deliberately.

The void in the body rotates and the dantian runs rapidly, absorbing as much spiritual energy as possible.

Compared to the Nine Nether Sea of Fire in Qinglong Academy, these spiritual energies do not need to be converted separately, and the speed of absorption is undoubtedly much faster.

The spiritual energy exhaled by the four spiritual beasts was like a waterfall pouring on him. Tang Yan felt heartbroken as he practiced.

Although his Dantian had been tempered several times and absorbed spiritual energy at least ten times faster than a warrior of the same level, he could only absorb less than 10% of the spiritual energy! Most of the spiritual energy slid down the stone platform and disappeared into the magma!

Suddenly, the Cauldron of Creation of Heaven and Earth, which had been dormant in the body, trembled violently at this moment, and the lid of the cauldron was instantly opened.

Tang Yan was overjoyed. This broken cauldron finally snatched the spiritual energy from him at the right time.

Although he did not know what the Cauldron of Creation of Heaven and Earth was, it was closely related to him after all. It should not be a bad thing for him if the Cauldron of Creation of Heaven and Earth continuously absorbed spiritual energy to strengthen itself.

The speed at which the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth absorbed spiritual energy was much greater than that of Tang Yan. The spiritual energy poured into the cauldron frantically, causing the surrounding space filled with spiritual energy to not leak out at all!

All the spiritual energy flowed into the stone platform where Tang Yan was, and was either absorbed by Tang Yan or absorbed by the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth.

But soon, Tang Yan stopped absorbing, and the expression on his face began to distort for a moment, not sure whether it was because of anger or shock!

According to Tang Yan's perception, the amount of spiritual energy he could absorb was getting less and less, and all the spiritual energy was actually flowing towards the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth.

One hundred thousand alpacas roared through Tang Yan’s heart!

"Fuck your grandpa! Spit it out for me!" Tang Yan couldn't remember how many times he had lost his temper at this alchemy cauldron before, but he was sure that he had never wanted to go berserk as much as he did today!

But the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth seemed to completely disregard Tang Yan's feelings. Instead, it went even further and swallowed up all the spiritual energy, leaving not a single bit for Tang Yan.

Unwilling to give up, Tang Yan immediately released his spiritual thoughts, drawing the surrounding spiritual energy towards his dantian.

As if it had sensed Tang Yan's movements, the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth shook again, and the spiritual energy that was about to reach Tang Yan's dantian was pulled into the cauldron again.

Tang Yan tried hard for a long time, but still didn't gain any spiritual energy. He almost spat out a mouthful of blood in frustration, and cursed in his heart: "I'll let you rob me, I'll kill you later!"

Obviously, Tang Yan's worries were unnecessary.

After several hours, the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth Creation had not even grown in size, let alone bursting to death.

Qingxuan had said before that this place was blessed by some kind of mysterious power. One day in the outside world was equivalent to one month on the stone platform. Since there was still a lot of time, she might as well wait for the Cauldron of Creation to be full first.

Although he was depressed, Tang Yan was not a pessimistic person. Unable to absorb the spiritual energy of the four beasts, he simply started practicing.

Even if there is no spiritual energy, it would be good to be able to practice here for a month for free.

One day, two days, three days, four days... half a month...

The surging spiritual energy continued to be spewed out from the mouths of the four spiritual beasts, but the appetite of the Cauldron of Creation of Heaven and Earth far exceeded Tang Yan's expectations, and he could only stare blankly.

And so it came to the last day.

During this "month", Tang Yan had not been idle. He sat here practicing day and night, swallowing all kinds of elixirs like eating candy beans, and managed to raise his strength to the fourth level of the Heavenly Stage!

The time should be almost up. Tang Yan could clearly feel that the spiritual energy exhaled from the mouths of the four spiritual beasts was gradually becoming thinner.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound was heard, and the mouths of the four spiritual beasts suddenly closed.

Just when Tang Yan wanted to leave the stone platform, the original Cauldron of Creation of Heaven and Earth suddenly shook, and then a surge of spiritual energy quickly transmitted into his body.

Compared to the spiritual energy supplied by the four great spirit beasts before, this energy was more refined, and like the 'Supreme Alchemy Sutra' that he practiced, it was also mixed with fire attributes.

He had been cursing the alchemy cauldron for a whole month. Although he didn't know why it was spitting out spiritual energy, Tang Yan didn't think much about it.

Such pure spiritual energy needs to be refined in time.
