The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Chapter 2367 Can’t Take Away

After the deal was reached, Golden Armor took Matthew to where the Spirit Source Pearl was.

The location of the Lingyuan Pearl is extremely hidden, deep underground.

If it weren't for the guidance of the Golden Armor, Matthew might not be able to find it even if he spent a lot of time.

They came to the entrance of a natural cave, and the interior of the cave was filled with a mysterious atmosphere.

Matthew and Huang Jinjia stood at the entrance of the cave, and the scene before them made them hold their breath.

In the center of the cave, a sky blue circular light shield occupied most of the space, emitting a soft light.

And inside the light shield, a blue ball of light was suspended, like a dazzling gem, shining brightly in the darkness.

The interior of the cave is dark and deep, and the surrounding rock walls are covered with strange patterns, like some kind of ancient runes.

As the two went deeper, the temperature in the cave gradually dropped and a faint chill filled the air.

Matthew was secretly alert in his heart. He moved his fingers slightly, and a wisp of purple magic power flowed through his fingertips, ready to deal with any emergency at any time.

"Is this the legendary Spirit Source Pearl?"

Matthew stared at the blue ball of light in the light shield, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

This spiritual source bead was completely different from what he had imagined.

According to legend, the Lingyuan Pearl is condensed from the essence of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and contains endless spiritual power. It can help people break through the bottleneck of cultivation and even reverse life and death.

However, the Spirit Source Pearl in front of him seemed unusually calm, without even a trace of spiritual fluctuation.

This made Matthew feel a little puzzled.

"Yes, this is the Spirit Source Pearl."

Huang Jinjia nodded, with a hint of emotion in his tone.

"When I first saw it, I was just as confused as you. But after years of research, I can be sure that this is the legendary Spirit Source Pearl."

Matthew frowned, his eyes still fixed on the blue ball of light in the light shield.

He always felt that this Lingyuan Pearl seemed to be hiding some secret, but he couldn't put his finger on it for the moment.

"Fellow Daoist, you can release a ray of magic power to touch the light shield." Seeing that Matthew was still doubtful, Huang Jinjia suggested.

Matthew nodded, flicked his fingers lightly, and a ray of purple magic power shot out from his fingertips and went straight to the blue light shield.

However, the moment his magic power touched the surface of the light shield, Matthew's face suddenly changed.

His magic power disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it was swallowed up by the light shield.

"The Spirit Source Pearl has the ability to devour all the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It seems that this is true." Matthew retracted his finger, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

"Yes."

Huang Jinjia nodded with a helpless smile on his face.

"This light shield is the Spirit Source Pearl's self-protection method. Any power that tries to get close to it will be swallowed up. I have spent hundreds of years trying countless methods, but I still cannot break through this light shield."

Upon hearing this, Matthew fixed his gaze on the blue light shield, with a hint of solemnity and thought in his eyes.

He was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I want to try."

When Huang Jinjia heard Matthew's words, there was no surprise on his face.

Since he brought Matthew here, he has already made his attitude towards the Spirit Source Pearl clear; he has given up.

Whatever Matthew wants to try is his own business.

Huang Jinjia knew clearly that he had spent hundreds of years without being able to shake the Spirit Source Pearl in the slightest. Even if Matthew was stronger, it would be difficult for him to make a breakthrough in such a short period of time.

What's more, Huang Jinjia had already determined deep down in his heart that the Lingyuan Pearl was no ordinary thing and was simply beyond the control of human power.

He had previously told Matthew that the treasure in the Blood Evil Cave might be able to take away the Spirit Source Pearl, but that was just his guess.

Even he himself was not very sure, let alone Matthew?

Huang Jinjia didn't say much, just nodded, then left the cave, leaving the space completely to Matthew.

He knew that what Matthew needed was a quiet environment to think and try.

When Matthew saw the golden armor leave, he didn't say much. He just raised his hand and sealed the entrance of the cave with magic power.

He didn't want anything to interfere with his attempts.

Inside the cave, Matthew walked slowly around the blue light shield, his eyes never leaving the Spirit Source Pearl inside the light shield.

He knew that ordinary methods would never work.

The Golden Armor has been trying for hundreds of years and has exhausted all means, but still cannot break through this layer of light shield.

If you repeat those useless attempts, you will only waste time.

Matthew stopped and stood in front of the light shield, frowning slightly.

He knew in his heart that if he wanted to take the Spirit Source Pearl away, he had to find another way.

However, he had no idea where to start.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Matthew stayed in the cave for three days.

During these three days, he made no sound or any obvious movement.

He just stood quietly in front of the light shield, as if thinking, or as if waiting.

Outside the cave, the golden armor was waiting.

Although he didn't hold much hope for Matthew's attempt, he still had a hint of curiosity in his heart.

He really wanted to know what method Matthew would use to deal with the Spirit Source Pearl.

However, three days passed and the cave was still silent, with no sound coming from it.

Huang Jinjia stood outside the cave, glancing towards the entrance from time to time.

He felt vaguely uneasy, but he couldn't tell where this uneasiness came from.

Perhaps he was just worried that Matthew might encounter something unexpected in the attempt.

After all, the power of the Spirit Source Pearl is unfathomable, and if you are not careful, it may lead to unpredictable consequences.

Finally, on the evening of the third day, the seal at the entrance of the cave slowly dissipated.

Matthew walked out calmly, with no emotion showing on his face. Even his eyes were as calm as a deep pool of water.

Huang Jinjia's heart tightened when he saw this.

He quickly glanced inside the cave and found that the blue light shield was still standing there intact, and the Spirit Source Pearl was still suspended in the light shield.

Obviously, Matthew's attempt was not successful.

"Your internal injuries cannot be delayed for too long, so I'd better make you a pill first."

After Matthew walked out of the cave, he spoke in a calm tone, as if the attempt just now was just a trivial matter.

When Huang Jinjia heard Matthew's words, he felt a little relieved.

He didn't see anything unusual on Matthew's face, nor did he sense any emotional fluctuations.

Matthew's performance was too calm, so calm that it made him feel a little unreal.

However, Huang Jinjia did not ask any more questions.

He knew that since Matthew was unwilling to mention what happened in the cave, it would be futile for him to ask again.

What's more, as Matthew said, the injuries in his body really couldn't be delayed any longer.

"Okay, I'll trouble you then."

Huang Jinjia nodded, with a hint of gratitude in his tone.

Afterwards, Golden Armor brought Matthew to a treasure house.

This treasure house is located deep in the valley and is surrounded by layers of restrictions. It is obviously the place where Golden Armor stores precious items.

Inside the treasury, there were all kinds of rare materials on display, some of which even emitted a faint glow, and they were obviously priceless treasures.

Huang Jinjia walked to a stone platform, raised his hand and waved it, and dozens of alchemy materials suddenly appeared on the platform.

He had prepared these materials long ago, and each one is extremely rare.

"These materials should be enough to refine a pill." Huang Jinjia said, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.

Matthew glanced at the materials, nodded, and said, "It is indeed enough. However, the process of refining the elixir requires absolute silence and cannot be disturbed by anything."

Upon hearing this, Huang Jinjia immediately understood what Matthew meant.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, fellow Daoist, I will be guarding outside and will never let anyone disturb you."

Matthew didn't say much, he just walked to the stone platform and began to examine the materials carefully.
