Chapter 329: Five-Tier Cauldron!

The Sixteen-Seal Spirit Artifact was probably not Wu Zhao's own possession.

The Heavenly Qian Sect had considered everything thoroughly for exploring this secret realm, even anticipating such a scenario.

It seemed the Heavenly Qian Sect truly deserved its reputation as the top sect in the Southern Domain; there were quite a few capable people.

After speaking, Wu Zhao couldn't help but glance at Ye Yuan, clearly seeking his opinion.

Ye Yuan smiled and took out his three storage rings, tossing them to Wu Zhao. "Elder Wu has thought of everything so thoroughly; how could I possibly disagree? I also think this method is quite fair."

Wu Zhao reached out to catch Ye Yuan's storage rings and placed them one by one into the opening of the Sealing Compass.

Soon, the three storage rings were sealed and reappeared in Wu Zhao's hand.

Wu Zhao tossed the rings back to Ye Yuan and said, "Aside from applying the seal, I haven't touched your storage rings. Check them yourself."

Ye Yuan swept his divine sense over them and smiled. "I trust Elder Wu's handling."

With Ye Yuan taking the lead, the others naturally had nothing more to say and one by one took out their storage rings to hand to Wu Zhao.

"This artifact is called the Sealing Compass; besides applying seals, it naturally also has the function of exploration and positioning. I've already set it up. If any of you have hidden storage rings that I discover, don't blame me for being rude!" Wu Zhao said in a deep voice while applying seals to the others' storage rings.

At his words, many changed expression and reluctantly took out their concealed storage rings.

Most sect disciples used magic-tier storage rings, which were not particularly valuable; it was normal for one person to have several.

Spirit-tier storage rings were extremely rare.

Ye Yuan only had three storage rings on him, all of which had already been sealed by Wu Zhao.

Yet Wu Zhao probably never imagined that besides storage rings, Ye Yuan also had a spatial spirit artifact!

The spatial spirit artifact was far higher in level than the Sealing Compass, so even if the compass had detection capabilities, it couldn't possibly detect it.

Wu Zhao's Sealing Compass indeed maximized the prevention of anyone hiding treasures, but... Ye Yuan was not among them.

Wu Zhao quickly sealed everyone's spatial rings, then casually took out a batch of empty storage rings and distributed them to the group.

"These are all treasure-tier empty storage rings, sufficient for storing treasures. Now everyone split up to search for treasures, and finally return here to gather. Then we'll divide the shares according to the agreed proportion." Wu Zhao said.

After Wu Zhao finished, everyone nodded in agreement.

With this distribution method, the more treasures everyone found, the more each faction would get, so there was no fear they wouldn't put in effort.

Ye Yuan then said, "Since the preparations are done, we can start the treasure hunt. Elder Mei, this time I won't go with you. Be careful yourselves. This sect has some depth in formations; don't rush when encountering treasures. Be cautious above all."

Mei Zhen nodded. "Alright, you be careful too."

With that, Ye Yuan left alone.

...

Arriving at a deserted spot, Ye Yuan moved his fingers lightly, and a cat-like white light immediately appeared before him.

The white light hadn't seen Ye Yuan for some days; it immediately jumped onto his shoulder and licked his face with its tongue.

"Alright, alright. It's been inconvenient these days, so I didn't let you out. Now it's time for you to show your skills. There should be plenty of good treasures here; take me to find them all!" Ye Yuan pulled the white light off and said.

The white light perked up at that, gave a low roar, and turned into a streak of light as it ran off.

Ye Yuan was startled by its speed; this little fellow truly lived up to the name 'White Light.'

At his current speed, an ordinary Liquid Realm martial artist probably couldn't catch up!

And the white light's cultivation speed was also extremely alarming; it was already at mid second-tier and would soon break through to late second-tier.

However, Ye Yuan's movement technique was not slow either. Activating Spirit Void Sky Breaker, he quickly caught up.

The white light bounded a few times and arrived at a rather secluded room.

The place was quite desolate, clearly no one had noticed it yet.

Ye Yuan carefully pushed open the door and couldn't help showing great joy.

This was actually a alchemy room!

What delighted Ye Yuan was that in the center of the alchemy room sat a square cauldron!

Ye Yuan recognized it at a glance: it was a five-tier cauldron!

He hadn't expected that in this inconspicuous room there would be a five-tier item.

For an alchemist, the cauldron is life.

Since his rebirth, Ye Yuan had never had a suitable cauldron; he basically borrowed others' for alchemy.

Without a good cauldron, refining pills naturally required extra effort.

A five-tier cauldron was naturally worse than trash to Ye Yuan in his past life, but for him now, it was an extremely rare find.

Although Ye Yuan couldn't unleash the cauldron's full power now, it would make alchemy much more convenient in the future.

With Pure Sandal Sacred Flame and a five-tier cauldron, what pill could he not refine?

As for cauldrons, those below fourth-tier were easy to find, but those above fourth-tier were extremely rare.

Because starting from refining fourth-tier pills, formations were inscribed into the pills, and ordinary cauldrons couldn't withstand it.

Cauldrons above fourth-tier had to be made from special materials and then have complex formations laid inside by a fourth-tier or higher formation master before they could be completed.

As for the rarity of a five-tier cauldron, it went without saying.

At least in the Southern Domain, a five-tier cauldron was impossible, because no one could refine fifth-tier pills!

Ye Yuan didn't immediately collect the five-tier cauldron; instead, he looked around.

This alchemy room was quite fully equipped. With just a glance, Ye Yuan could tell that its owner was a five-tier alchemist, that is, an Alchemy Emperor!

In the Boundless Realm, an Alchemy Emperor was already an extremely formidable existence!

Ye Yuan couldn't help cupping his chin in thought.

He could sense that the legacy left by Lu Linfeng must have been extremely powerful originally, but why had it fallen to such a state?

This Yonghua Palace had an Alchemy Emperor, so it must have also had a fifth-tier Formation Emperor!

A sect with a fifth-tier Formation Emperor—who would dare provoke it?

Just the Heaven Thunder Lock Yuan Grand Formation outside would deter few from challenging it, right?

The Great Derivation God King of the Divine Realm, even before his ascension, must have already been a legend in the Boundless Realm.

Even if his disciples and descendants were trash, they could still carry on for a few thousand years without issue.

But looking at this Yonghua Palace, it seemed to have vanished overnight?

What exactly happened back then? And what was the deal with this secret realm?

The more Ye Yuan thought about it, the more he felt something was off.

Suddenly, Ye Yuan's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a broken jade slip on the workbench!
