Chapter 890 - 888: Found an Alchemy Furnace
"Haha, Mengting, I love you." Chen Tianlong, a bit excited, ran over and gave Mengting a big kiss.
"Ah, Chen Tianlong, what are you doing?" Wu Mengting was clearly a bit shy. Even if there was no one else at the mountaintop, this was her hometown after all. If her parents really died here, how would their spirits see them laughing and joking like this?
"Uh, it’s fine, there’s no one here anyway." Chen Tianlong said nonchalantly.
"Oh." Wu Mengting’s cheeks suddenly turned red.
"Hehe, Mengting is so cute." Chen Tianlong didn’t tease her any further. Instead, he began to focus on business, "Earlier, we searched for an entire afternoon. It’s really a bit..."
Wu Mengting was also a bit frustrated. She had been sitting there from the beginning and should have noticed something was off long ago, but she only realized it in the end. Wu Mengting and Chen Tianlong had foolishly wasted a lot of time. She smiled bitterly and said, "But still, let’s see if there’s anything here."
"Mm, alright!"
Chen Tianlong nodded. At the mountaintop, what he feared the most was the existence of hidden experts.
After all, this place had once been glorious and many people were likely to come here searching for treasures. Even Wang Tian couldn’t resist exploring here, so why wouldn’t those who enjoy treasure hunting come? Obviously, this place remained intact, showing no signs of deliberate excavation.
The only possible explanation is that someone might be protecting this place.
But now it seemed that apart from them, there was only the drizzle on the entire mountain.
Chen Tianlong crouched down and carefully pried up the green brick that Mengting pointed out. For Chen Tianlong, who was at Profound Dao Two Stars, this was an easy task. However, after prying up the brick, there was just dirt underneath and nothing like a hidden compartment was visible.
"Seems like there’s nothing here, sigh..."
Chen Tianlong sighed, looking under the green brick.
"Oh?" Wu Mengting looked over and an intense feeling arose within her. She felt there was something inside, but she couldn’t tell what it was.
Perhaps it’s the Wu Family’s unique sensing ability. Being in her own home, she could sense the object’s existence: "Chen Tianlong, I don’t know why, but I have this feeling there’s something precious underneath. Maybe you should try digging further."
Chen Tianlong nodded. Sometimes Wu Mengting’s sensing power was strong, and whether she was an Innate Prophet or something alike, they were here anyway. It wouldn’t be a wasted trip if they found something.
As Chen Tianlong removed the green stone, Wu Mengting’s feeling grew stronger.
Chen Tianlong didn’t say more, instead, he started digging. The dirt’s hardness posed no difficulty for him, and he could dig with his hands.
Yet, after digging a few times, Chen Tianlong didn’t feel anything unusual. But since Wu Mengting was so convinced, he continued digging down.
After about thirty centimeters of digging, Chen Tianlong’s hand touched a hard object, seemingly made of some unknown material!
Chen Tianlong was thrilled, they really found something. He quickly sped up his digging and soon brought the object out!
It was an unassuming cauldron with no hint of ostentation, but the craftsmanship was evident and of premium quality. Chen Tianlong realized immediately that it was top-notch, and he had seen many cauldrons before, yet this was exceptional.
Though the cauldron was the size of an ordinary pot, it was evidently not an ordinary one. If Chen Tianlong’s guess was correct, it should be the legendary Divine Cauldron.
"What is this?"
Wu Mengting, seeing Chen Tianlong holding the cauldron with both hands, was both surprised and delighted, her heart racing in excitement!
Just as Chen Tianlong was about to say something, Wu Mengting sensed danger approaching.
"Chen Tianlong, there’s danger." Wu Mengting quickly said.
"Hmm, I feel it too." Chen Tianlong’s chest tightened, and he felt dizzy, sensing impending danger.
Chen Tianlong chuckled bitterly, realizing that whatever was meant to come had finally arrived. Initially, Chen Tianlong thought that despite the challenges, this trip to the Southern District Mountain Range would end well. But to his surprise, things weren’t over yet—perhaps the danger and battles were just beginning!
"We have enemies!"
Chen Tianlong quickly told Wu Mengting.
After saying that, Chen Tianlong thrust the Divine Cauldron into Wu Mengting’s arms, "I will go meet the enemies shortly. Protect yourself carefully, see how many there are. If it’s just one, run if necessary, go down the mountain and wait for me in the car."
"Ah!"
Wu Mengting was about to say, how could this be possible? How could I escape alone?
But seeing Chen Tianlong’s resolute gaze, Wu Mengting sighed and said nothing more. Her heart was tense, unable to believe that just as they found something useful, enemies had shown up!
They still wanted to continue searching for any other relics from her parents.
"So it’s you two!"
A loud and thunderous laugh echoed, making one feel quite displeased: "You really made this old man wait. For over ten years, I stayed here, waiting day and night, hoping and longing, but finally, the stars and moon aligned. Someone finally appeared here! Hand over the Divine Cauldron. To think it was so easily obtained by you, truly heaven’s blessing for me!"
Back then, they turned this place upside down and found nothing. Now Chen Tianlong had easily discovered something, and it was truly exciting.
"Who are you?"
Chen Tianlong’s cold gaze swept towards the direction of the voice, knowing that such a villainous person had ill intentions.
Previously, Chen Tianlong hadn’t detected anyone else on the mountain, leaving only two possibilities. One was that this person had just arrived, and the second was that their strength far surpassed his, skilled at concealing their power, not showing hostility until Chen Tianlong found something!
If it was the second possibility, then this enemy before him was incredibly fearsome. However, Chen Tianlong also knew the second possibility was much greater than the first.
"You don’t need to know who I am."
The figure swiftly appeared, floating gracefully, stopping ten yards away from Chen Tianlong and Wu Mengting.
Clad in a black Eight Trigrams Robe, his attire was exceedingly strange. He seemed around fifty years old, and the aura he emitted displayed his strength!
Celestial Dao Five Stars!
"Which faction do you represent?" Chen Tianlong asked lightly, "Why are you after us?"
If Chen Tianlong’s guess was correct, then he could roughly figure out this expert’s identity. This matter might be related to the Black Alliance or the Celestial Pill Sect.
For a long time, those eyeing Mo Jing’s Alchemy Furnace Body included only the Celestial Pill Sect or the Black Alliance.
