The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2183 The Spiritual Pearl is in Hand

After a moment, he shook his robe sleeves violently, and in an instant, a violent gust of wind that seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force whistled out from his wide sleeves.

This strong wind was like an invisible angry dragon. Wherever it went, sand and rocks flew everywhere. The scattered powder on the ground was instantly picked up by it, rolling and entangled in the air, forming a chaotic fog.

When the strong wind carried the powder farther and farther away and disappeared into the sky, only an egg-sized sky blue bead remained on the ground, glowing faintly, as if hiding endless mysteries.

Matthew leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the bead. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly had an idea and quietly asked the skinny old man in the Azure Dragon Bracelet, "This must be the spiritual bead, right?"

Almost as soon as Matthew finished transmitting the message, the slightly flattering voice of the skinny old man rang out in Matthew's mind like a ghost: "That's right, Brother Ma, your methods are truly extraordinary! Such a powerful guardian beast can actually be killed by you so easily, which really makes me admire you so much!"

The old man's words were full of admiration and flattery, as if he wanted to use this to get closer to Matthew.

Matthew's lips curled up in an almost imperceptible arc, and he sneered in his heart.

In fact, from the moment he stepped out of the cave, he had already used a secret method to temporarily seal the Green Dragon Bracelet. The skinny old man inside the bracelet was like being blindfolded, unable to spy on the outside world at all.

He was completely unaware of the soul-stirring, earth-shattering battle that had just taken place between the Black Tortoise King and the Guardian Beast.

This guardian beast was clearly the Black Tortoise King of Beasts, who had used all his strength to fight bloody battles and kill to the death on his own, and it had nothing to do with Matthew.

Matthew shook his head slightly, without pointing out the old man's misunderstanding.

At that moment, Matthew leaned over, and with his slender, bony fingers, he slowly picked up the sky-blue spiritual bead lying quietly on the ground.

As soon as he touched it, a chill like a sharp ice spike instantly ran from the palm of his hand to his heart, causing his fingertips to tremble slightly. However, beneath the bone-chilling cold, there was a surge of vigorous and powerful spiritual power, like a surging undercurrent, constantly surging and stirring under his palm.

Matthew's eyes narrowed, and he pondered in his heart.

With such powerful spiritual power, this spirit bead is obviously a rare and precious treasure.

He held the spirit pearl in his palm and examined it carefully for a few seconds. The surface of the spirit pearl seemed like a deep blue abyss, with faint light flickering.

After a moment, Matthew suddenly had an idea and reached into his arms, gently taking out an antique wooden box from his storage bag.

This wooden box looks ordinary, but there is a faint glow around it, which obviously makes it a magical weapon that can seal spiritual power.

Matthew gently opened the lid of the box, and a soft halo of light instantly overflowed from the box.

He carefully placed the spirit bead into the box. As the spirit bead settled, the soft halo was like a layer of soft gauze, slowly covering the spirit bead and sealing its spiritual power fluctuations to prevent its aura from leaking out.

Matthew frowned slightly, his eyes looking through the void, as if he was silently counting in his heart.

A total of seven spirit beads need to be collected. Now he has gone through a lot of trouble to get one. The road ahead is long. If he wants to collect them all, he will definitely have to spend a lot of time and energy. He doesn't know how many hardships and obstacles he will have to go through in the meantime.

Moreover, recalling the soul-stirring, earth-shattering fight between the Black Tortoise King and the guardian beasts, Matthew knew in his heart that it would be a pipe dream for the Black Tortoise King to eliminate the remaining six equally ferocious guardian beasts by his own strength.

Although the Black Tortoise King was strong, he was slightly injured in the fierce battle. If he continued to fight, he would be in great danger.

Matthew paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, brows furrowed, and fell into deep thought.

After a long moment, a look of determination flashed across his eyes, and it was obvious that he had already made up his mind.

After careful consideration, he decided to slow down his search for the guardian beast for the time being.

The most urgent task at the moment is to subdue the remaining three alien beast kings first.

After all, one more helping hand means a better chance of winning.

Once we successfully subdue the four exotic beast kings and form a powerful fighting force, things will become smoother and simpler. After all, there are more than just exotic beasts here.

The demons have already invaded this place. Matthew saw it with his own eyes, so we need to be extra careful.

Now, even the Black Tortoise Beast King doesn’t know the real purpose of the demons’ invasion of this place.

Having made up his mind, Matthew no longer hesitated. He took a deep breath and carefully put the wooden box containing the spirit beads into his storage bag.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

After the Black Tortoise Beast King completely refined the top-grade healing pill, he also came to where Matthew was.

It did not ask Matthew about the guardian beast's corpse, but stood respectfully not far from Matthew.

"Although this pill can help you recover part of your injuries, it is only a small part, and it is still far from complete recovery. So now, who is the closest beast king to us?"

Matthew narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his gaze to the Black Tortoise Beast King beside him, and asked softly in a low and slightly majestic voice.

The Black Tortoise Beast King did not dare to neglect and quickly replied: "Master, the closest one to this place is the Vermillion Bird Beast King."

Its tone was respectful, and it was obviously quite afraid of the person in front of it.

Upon hearing this, Matthew nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then asked, "I previously instructed you to send people out to investigate the demon invasion. I wonder if there is any news coming back now?"

Long before Matthew stepped into the cave after he successfully subdued the Black Tortoise King, he had already entrusted him with such an important task.

However, since he walked out of the cave, the Black Tortoise Beast King has never mentioned a word about this matter.

Facing Matthew's question, the Black Tortoise Beast King thought for a moment, then responded slowly, "Master, according to our spies' reports, the demons are acting very cautiously. They deliberately expose many weaker demons to confuse our sight. The truly threatening high-level demons are hiding very deep, and my men have not found their traces so far. But please rest assured, my people have been searching for the whereabouts of these high-level demons in secret, and I believe we will get something soon. In the meantime, why don't we go to the place where the Vermillion Bird Beast King is and see if she has any useful information about the demons."

After saying this, it carefully observed Matthew's expression, fearing that its answer would not satisfy him.

The Black Tortoise King no longer had any ill will towards Matthew, and he kept reminding himself in his heart that he must appease the person in front of him.

Because it now knows that Matthew has too many secrets, which wrap around Matthew like a fog and cannot be seen through at all.
