Chapter 42 - A Universe Within a Cauldron (2/2)
Holy shit!
The opening they had come out from was still there, but now it was not a gap, but a door. Measuring four by six meters, it was the door of an elixir-refining cauldron.
“We… we were in this cauldron just now!” No wonder the ground was covered with Deviant Fire. It was actually the fire for refining elixirs. So it appeared that this elixir-refining cauldron was also an immortal artifact and there was a whole new world inside it.
“But… what happened to the forest?” Lonemoon couldn’t figure it out. If the entrance to the ancient mystic realm was all along at the elixir-refining cauldron, how could it contain a forest inside as well?
“It’s probably the medicine storage compartment in the cauldron.” Yi Qing pointed at the right side of the elixir-refining cauldron. There was indeed an open compartment there.
They walked over and saw that it was indeed a huge storage compartment. Using their Spirit Qi to probe inside, they found that it was so vast that its boundaries could not be detected. However, they could detect trees and shrubs inside and endless greenery.
It seemed that this immortal residence had been empty for a long time. The objects originally placed in the storage compartment had been left unattended and so it had begun to grow, developing into that patch of forest. It was no wonder there were so many exotic plants in the forest. It had even spawned many Vegetation Spirits.
So it turned out that for more than a month, they had all been running circles inside that elixir-refining cauldron.
“Going in?” Shen Ying pointed to the Immortal Pavilion behind her.
Lonemoon nodded, looking at the towering Immortal Pavilion. If just that one elixir-refining cauldron could transform into such an amazing world, then heaven knew how many other things were hidden inside this pavilion that they had never seen before.
“Let’s go!”
The three of them turned and headed straight to the Immortal Pavilion. But before they even got to the entrance, they heard the sound of three sets of footsteps coming from the elixir-refining cauldron behind them.
“Hahahaha… I didn’t expect an Immortal Pavilion to be hidden inside this mystic realm!”
They heard the sound of a familiar voice coming from behind.
Lonemoon’s heart sank. He felt like cursing.
Holy shit!
Of all times, these three stooges chose to appear at this very moment!
“This ancient immortal residence is really amazing. It’s just a tiny cauldron, yet an entire world is hidden inside.” Qing Lan looked back at the elixir-refining cauldron, then turned to look at the three people in front. “My thanks to this Supremacy for leaving us this entrance which enabled us to track your aura to this Immortal Pavilion.”
This increased Lonemoon’s desire to curse at him. He should have blocked the entrance to the elixir-refining cauldron.
“Luck seems to favor you.” Sneering, Qing Yin looked disdainfully at the people in front of him. “You actually managed to arrive before us… Huh? That’s…” He suddenly widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Lonemoon’s leg. “You actually found the Thousand Leaves Vegetation Spirit!”
The other two immediately looked in Lonemoon’s direction, their expressions changing at what they saw.
“Oh, you mean this.” Chuckling, Lonemoon picked up the radish pendant on his leg. With a cocky expression on his face, he said, “I’m sorry, but this little thing seems to have an affinity with us. We met immediately on entering the mystic realm. Can’t be helped, it’s fate.”
The expressions of the other group of three suddenly darkened.
However, the uncooperative radish pendant twitched and let out a familiar sound.
Pui!
Who’s your little thing?!
Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. He hurriedly moved to pass the radish over to Shen Ying.
The pendant happily extended two large leaves in a hugging motion and rushed over to Shen Ying. But it had not even managed to touch her clothes when Shen Ying suddenly turned her head away in rejection!
“Get lost.” You vegetable thing!
“… Ji.”

The radish’s heart broke into little pieces.
