Chapter 446: Chapter 59: Innate Human Cauldron_1

Lan San didn’t move, her mouth slightly open as she spoke, "I do not know; this little girl has been trapped under that buddha’s palm for a lifetime, with limited exposure and unable to discern its nature. However, the power within this light is bright and righteous, unlike the gentle and profound aura of Buddhism, nor the domineering and unpredictable nature of Taoism; instead, it bears a semblance to the vast righteousness of the Confucian School.

It seems that the person below has some connection with the Confucian School.

Yao Sanqian, you have often entered the Heavenly Court in the past, and you are quite familiar with the situations there; tell us, what exactly is this?"

Dading True Master looked towards Yao Sanqian.

Yao Sanqian smiled relaxedly and, after placing a piece on the board, said, "To know your enemy and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles. I did make friends with the Four Seas and indeed visited the Heavenly Court a few times. That light just now did indeed bear the vast righteousness, and this righteous qi was peaceful, lacking a bit of the intent to kill,

Wenqu enjoys the wind and the moon, Wenchang administers the imperial orthodoxy; if it were a court minister, it would surely be fierce and domineering. So, it should have some connection with the Wenqu Star Monarch.

As for that light, do you really not recognize it?"

Upon hearing this, both Dading True Master and Lan San were momentarily stunned. Familiar?

Then Lan San’s beautiful eyes widened as she laughed and said,"Indeed it is familiar... that seems to be..."

Dading True Master burst into laughter and exclaimed,"Pure nature Yuan Qi! It has no attributes of its own; whatever attribute it touches, it becomes that kind of nature Yuan Qi! Haha... Yao Sanqian, would you say that fairy suits me? I have a method which requires a pure Yuan cauldron, and if successful, it could help you sweep across all under Heaven!"

Yao Sanqian smiled without agreeing but also didn’t refuse.

However, Lan San seemed somewhat displeased, sitting up cross-legged, her entire figure engulfed by her fur coat, which made her appear somewhat cute.

Lan San said, "Pure nature Yuan Qi is one of the best human cauldrons in the world. You have a method, but do I not have a cultivation technique to use? Yao Sanqian, give me that cauldron; that fat man will then be useless."

Upon hearing this, Dading True Master became furious,"Lan San, what do you mean by this? Do you really think I’m afraid of you?"

Lan San yawned and said, "Try yelling again?"

Dading True Master pointed at Lan San, about to roar, but despite his old face turning red with the effort, not a word came out.

After a long wait, Dading True Master said to Yao Sanqian, "Yao Sanqian, what do you think of this matter?"

Yao Sanqian placed another white piece, chuckling, "Both of you are my guests, naturally, I cannot favor one over the other."

Dading True Master let out a sigh of relief, but Lan San’s lips quirked up into a smug, confident smirk.

Yao Sanqian continued,"There’s only one cauldron, yet there are two of you, I really can’t decide."

Neither Dading True Master nor Lan San spoke, waiting for what was to come next.

Finally, Yao Sanqian said,"Both are peak Earthly Immortals, just one step away from the Heavenly Immortal realm. Whoever gets this cauldron will surely advance further. However, I truly cannot decide who should get the cauldron. So, how about this..."

Instantly, Dading True Master tensed up, and even Lan San cast a sidelong glance, clearly not calm either.

Yao Sanqian chuckled, "There is indeed a simple solution: the bait has been cast, and the fish should be on their way. Let’s see which of you is more skilled in catching fish; whoever catches more gets the person, how about it?"

"That would be excellent!"

Before Lan San could respond, Dading True Master had eagerly agreed! He knew all too well that if it came to a direct confrontation, he was likely no match for Lan San – the terror of this woman who practiced both demonic and Buddhist techniques was something he had experienced.

But when it came to catching fish, he was full of confidence.Although he didn’t have a little monster, he still had two underlings, and while their strength was not particularly outstanding, they were no worse than Lan San’s men. With this in mind, he still had a good chance of winning the contest.

Lan San let out a dissatisfied snort, but Yao Sanqian spoke up first, "To be fair, let’s set a little rule. If someone comes, no matter how many people, as long as they come together, they count as one group.

You two will play rock-paper-scissors to decide the order. Then, you’ll take turns sending out your people. If they succeed, the fish are yours.

If they fail, it’s the other side’s turn.

During this time, you may not interfere or send more reinforcements. If you take action yourself, then the rest of the fish will have nothing to do with you; they’ll belong to the other side until the other person takes action themselves. How about that?"

The rules were simple. Both Lan San and Dading True Master understood them immediately.

Dading True Master naturally agreed wholeheartedly. In his view, this deal was too fair, and his chances were too great!

Lan San was somewhat displeased. However, Yao Sanqian transmitted a message to him, "You are stronger than Dading, and you have more subordinates than he does, each of them elite. Taking turns, you hold the winning cards, why bother with the details?"

Upon hearing this, Lan San finally nodded slightly to indicate agreement.

After they worked out the details, Yao Sanqian had the two play rock-paper-scissors, and Dading True Master won, so he could make the first move.

As a result, Dading True Master, beaming with joy, waved his hand and called out, "Youque! Come over here!"

Hearing Dading True Master’s call, a man holding a gourd came over and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Master!"

Dading True Master looked very pleased with the man before him, showing off as he said, "This is a disciple I took on three years ago, named Youque. He is adept in the art of deception and has learned some of my techniques. Catching some small fry should be no problem."

Lan San cast a disdainful glance at Youque and said, "An Earthly Immortal of Level Three, what’s that worth! The fish haven’t even bitten yet, what are you so anxious for?"

Youque’s face turned ashen, and Dading True Master’s expression wasn’t too good either, but he held back and sneered, "Who says there’s no fish?"

Having said that, Dading True Master pointed at Xiankong Mountain and explained, "That fairy did not enter on her own, but was helped to escape here. She entered Xiankong Mountain and, with the help of the extremely complex Natural Cave Array inside, she has been able to evade our people.

These past two days I have been contemplating that Formation, gaining some insight. Maybe I can’t break it, but I can go back and forth."

Youque, you go down below. There is no need to capture that fairy; just capture the one who helped her!"

Youque accepted the command, took three steps back, then jumped into Xiankong Mountain and vanished into the darkness.

And Lan San’s face had turned rather ugly, cursing inwardly, "To think that a fool has taken the initiative."

Inside Xiankong Mountain.

"Sister, someone else has come down."

In the darkness, a female voice sounded anxious.

Another, more mature, female voice whispered, "It’s fine, the caverns inside Xiankong Mountain are complicated, with a natural formation. They have only been groping the periphery for these two days and have no idea about the profound mysteries inside. As long as you and I hide within and do not go out, they can’t do anything to us."

The anxious voice fretted, "But if we give them time, I’m afraid this great formation won’t last much longer."

The mature voice responded, "Even though the gates of the Heavenly Court are closed, there are still many heavenly gods in the world, and many of them are powerful. The gods of the Heavenly Court have always been closely connected, and many were friends with your father back in the day. If they hear of your troubles, they will surely come to our aid. The longer we drag this out, the more it actually benefits us..."
