The bronze cauldron

For a moment, only Ning Qi remained in the blood pool.

He looked at the bronze cauldron in front of him and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The bronze cauldron in front of him remained silent, without making a sound.

Let me see what's going on.

As Ning Qi spoke, he reached out his hand and grabbed at the bronze cauldron.

"Buzz!"

Just before he was about to touch the bronze cauldron, the entire cauldron burst forth with a red light.

The previously dormant Restriction were activated once again.

Streaks of red light, like spiderwebs, began to envelop Ning Qi.

Clearly, they wanted to imprison him.

"Even now, are you still so stubborn?"

Ning Qi looked at the crimson light enveloping him and couldn't help but sneer, "You may have been very strong once."

"However, you are now utterly vulnerable before my Dao Fruit."

As he spoke, he once again unleashed his insights into the Daoist arts of If Water Three Thousand.

At the same time, the power of the Dao Fruit began to envelop the red light in front of them.

A large net, ironically, allowed them to seize the opportunity to counter the Red Mang.

At first, the red light had the strength to contend with him.

However, with Ning Qi's comprehension of the Water Runes, the Water Runes ripples rapidly devoured the red light in front of him at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Layer upon layer, strand upon strand.

These crimson lights were utterly vulnerable to his devouring attack.

They were quickly routed, and Ning Qi pressed his advantage.

It manipulates the Water Runes to continue eroding into the bronze cauldron.

This is a golden opportunity to destroy the bronze cauldron in one fell swoop and completely control this treasure left over from High Antiquity times.

At first, Ning Qi thought there was something fishy about the blood pool, but now he realized that the real culprit was the bronze cauldron.

"Call!"

"Whoosh!"

The Water Runes continued to erode, soon reaching the Restriction on the bronze cauldron.

The Restriction began its final resistance, but Ning Qi's If Water Three Thousand was clearly superior.

As it erodes, it can also emit waves of oppressive power.

This was not ordinary pressure, but pressure imbued with the Dao Resonance.

Each strand that falls upon it, though seemingly just a single strand, actually exerts several times the pressure, suppressing the Restriction.

"Click..."

Time began to pass, and several hours later...

One end of the Restriction cracked open.

A single thread can affect the whole situation.

The next moment, cracks began to appear one after another.

"Okay, now!"

Ning Qi laughed loudly, then manipulated the Dao Patterns to attack the Restriction.

As a result, the gaps in the Restriction on the bronze cauldron grew larger and larger.

In the end, it had become a series of large holes, and it looked like it could explode at any moment.

"Receive!"

At this critical moment, Ning Qi's hands suddenly focused.

A wisp of Immortal-Demon Power was manipulated and probed into it.

They immediately stabilized the collapsing Restriction.

Then, Ning Qi manipulated the Water Runes, beginning to pull them back together at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"I haven't figured it out yet, I won't allow you to disappear!"

Ning Qi revealed a smug smile, "This is the first time I've encountered Restriction that can be activated."

"If used, it will catch the enemy off guard."

He could already imagine that, combined with this Restriction, his attack would easily catch the enemy off guard.

In this way, the chances of winning will be much greater.

"Call!"

"Sizzle!"

Under his control, the Restriction was restored.

This time, however, the Restriction no longer attacked him.

And like a docile and obedient cat, it allowed Ning Qi to explore its surroundings through the Water Runes.

He began to explore it step by step.

Several more hours passed, and Ning Qi gradually memorized the Restriction.

During this time, Medicine Spirit returned several times and was relieved to see that Ning Qi was safe and sound.

"It's done!"

Several hours later, Ning Qi let out a long sigh of relief.

Regain your composure.

Suddenly, a blue light flashed from the Restriction on the bronze cauldron.

After transforming from its previous red glow, it instantly burst forth with a dazzling light.

After flashing, the light was manipulated by Ning Qi and merged back into the bronze cauldron.

This time, the Restriction on the bronze cauldron belong to Ning Qi.

"Then, I'll test your strength."

Ning Qi smiled, then manipulated the Restriction to activate.

"Roar!"

"..."

The next moment, he activated the Restriction on the bronze cauldron.

Several figures appeared.

These figures were not the blood-red skeletons from before, but rather Black Shadow shrouded in Evil Qi.

After these Black Shadow appeared, wielding knives and axes, they attacked the stone wall of the secret chamber ahead.

"Whoosh!"

"Bang!"

In just a moment, it carved marks of varying depths into the stone wall.

Ning Qi looked at the terrifying destructive power unleashed by the Restriction he controlled and nodded with great satisfaction.

He also infused this Restriction with Boundless Evil Qi.

This allows these attacks to not only be physical, but also corrode the attacked area.

At this moment, burn marks began to appear on the stone wall.

The scorched area was still hissing incessantly.

Clearly, the corrosive influence of Boundless Evil Qi continues.

This prompted Ning Qi to burst into laughter. "It's done!"

This is essentially him strengthening upon that foundation.

"Well then, it's your turn next."

Ning Qi focused his attention on the bronze cauldron in front of him.

He then gathered the Immortal-Demon Power once more and probed directly into it.

"Call!"

The next moment, Ning Qi suddenly felt his Divine Sense being forcibly drawn into it.

In an instant, everything went black.

Then you won't be able to see anything.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself in an unknown space.

It was pitch black here; you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

Ning Qi used his Divine Sense to explore his surroundings, trying to see where he had been sucked in.

However, to his surprise, his Divine Sense could only explore an area of about ten feet around him.

There's simply no way of knowing where we are.

"Damn it, my Divine Sense is imprisoned."

Ning Qi soon discovered that the range of his Divine Sense was compressed every time he explored.

If this continues, his Divine Sense will soon be imprisoned within his body.

"Call!"

He suppressed his Divine Sense and began to wander aimlessly around the area.

They wanted to find a breakthrough.

To allow myself to extricate myself.

However, he walked on like this for an unknown amount of time, but he never reached the end.

We can't keep going like this, can we?

Ning Qi stopped and observed the situation with his eyes, while he began to use his feet to sense the changes beneath his feet.

Unfortunately, after walking for a while, I found that the ground was as smooth as a mirror.

There is absolutely no difference to be found.

"Damn it, is this the space inside the bronze cauldron?"

Ning Qi stopped and looked around.

It was still pitch black.

This can't go on, or I'll never be able to get out of this mess.

Currently, it's unclear whether it's their Divine Sense or their body that's been sucked in.

"Owner?"

Just as Ning Qi was getting agitated, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

It's obvious that the Medicine Spirit has returned.

"I'm here!"

Ning Qi started shouting, but unfortunately Yao Spirit Root.

Meanwhile, the Medicine Spirit was circling around Ning Qi.

He returned several times and found Ning Qi standing motionless each time.

At first, he didn't take it seriously, but after exchanging a few words with Ning Qi, he ignored Medicine Spirit completely.

This caused Medicine Spirit to gradually begin to worry.

Only then did they come over to check on him and find that Ning Qi's eyes were open.

Those eyes, which were once full of brilliance, were now utterly empty.

It was as if he had lost his soul, which is why Medicine Spirit began to shout in worry.

However, he found that no matter what he did, it was all in vain.

Ning Qi stood motionless, as if his soul had been bewitched, without even blinking.

At first, he just shouted, but later he began to actively pour the Life Essence in his body into Ning Qi's body.

None of it worked. Later, he started channeling his own Spiritual Qi into Ning Qi's body.

This weakened the Medicine Spirit's Spiritual Qi, and even its Life Essence became weaker.

However, no matter what method he used, it was to no avail.

In the end, all he could do was anxiously call out to Ning Qi from there.

"What to do?"

"What would the master do?"

Medicine Spirit circled Ning Qi again and again, earnestly trying to think of a solution.

After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up. "That's it, the Bloodline Power!"

"Although the Qi and Blood and blood within me are inanimate, they become alive when placed within my master's body!"

After making up her mind, Medicine Spirit directly activated the Bloodline Power.

It then transformed into a small snake and pierced directly into Ning Qi's brow.

This Bloodline Power began to surge after entering Ning Qi's brow.

"Call!"

At this moment, Ning Qi, in this pitch-black space, suddenly sensed something.

He saw streaks of blood-red light beginning to pour down towards him from above.

In the blink of an eye, it landed directly on his head.

"Splash!"

The Bloodline Power instantly soaked him to the bone.

In an instant, a bloody stench emanated from Ning Qi's body.

"Haha, clever!"

After Ning Qi realized what was happening, he looked at the trajectory of the falling Qi and Blood.

We've finally found a way out.

He laughed loudly, then leaped into the air, following the flow of Qi and Blood, and successfully left the dark place.

In the blink of an eye, he could see the light again.

"Call!"

The next moment, Ning Qi suddenly opened his eyes and looked at everything in front of him.

"Owner?"

Seeing the light return to his eyes, Medicine Spirit became excited. "You scared me to death! I thought you'd been possessed by that bronze cauldron!"

"I was almost trapped to death just now, you did a great job! Little guy!"

Ning Qi reached out and ruffled Medicine Spirit's little head. "You'll be richly rewarded when we get back!"

"Master, I'm just glad you're alright! I don't want any reward!"

Medicine Spirit shook her head vigorously after hearing his words.

A hint of worry appeared in his small eyes.

Clearly, he had been genuinely startled.

"Okay, I'll definitely be safe and sound!"

Ning Qi nodded, then turned his gaze back to the bronze cauldron.

"Master, what just happened?"

At this moment, Medicine Spirit suddenly thought of something and quickly asked.

"I had just probed it with my Divine Sense when I was suddenly sucked into a pitch-black space."

"No matter what I do, I can't get out."

"If you hadn't come up with a solution, I'm afraid I would have been trapped there forever."

Ning Qi still seemed shaken when he brought up the incident.

That was really dangerous. If it weren't for Medicine Spirit, he would have been stuck here forever.

"Space?"

Medicine Spirit frowned and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Master, could this be the internal space of this bronze cauldron?"

Did you see anything? Was there any treasure?

Even now, he's still wondering if there are any heavenly materials and earthly treasures here.

Because he had just turned this place upside down, but found nothing.

However, what had drawn them down here in the first place was clearly the fluctuation of the heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

If that's the case, then there really is treasure here.

"No, I've been walking for hours without finding anything."

Ning Qi shook his head and sighed, "If this really is the internal space of the bronze cauldron, then this space is too vast; we could never reach the end."

"That's not necessarily true. It's possible that you haven't subdued it yet, which is why you can't control its inner world."

Medicine Spirit shook his head, deeply agreeing, and said, "Just like our Pill Furnace, once you subdue it, you can control it, right?"

"Didn't you explore the space inside while we were on the road?"

"You have a point, but for now, I can only try one more time!"

"We need to focus our attention on the other continental fragments, otherwise, once the outsiders get in..."

"We've lost our chance!"

Ning Qi shook his head and sighed, "If all else fails, take it with us for now, and study it when we have the chance."

"Okay, I'll help too!"

"Maybe if we work together, we can come up with a solution?"

This time, Medicine Spirit had no intention of leaving. Ever since she learned that the bronze cauldron also had an internal space, she had been harboring wicked thoughts.

"Okay, think about it, what other options are there?"

Ning Qi nodded, knowing he could only wait and see what Medicine Spirit could do.

"Master, have you ever used the Bloodline Power?"

"Perhaps the Bloodline Power can be useful!"

Medicine Spirit stated that she had just awakened Ning Qi using the Bloodline Power.

So, since everything has its counter, perhaps if we use the Bloodline Power, we can also subdue the bronze cauldron.

"Okay, I'll give it a try!"

After listening to his words, Ning Qi thought about them carefully.

Before I could even try using my Bloodline Power, I was sucked in.

Well then, this time we might as well give it a try.

"Alright, I'll protect you!"

Ning Qi, the Medicine Spirit, was overjoyed to hear his suggestion.

This was the first time Ning Qi had listened to him since they had known each other.

"Good!"

Ning Qi didn't delay any longer. After agreeing, he immediately activated the Bloodline Power in his Dantian.

Then, following the flow of the meridians, it directly converged in the palm.

"Call!"

He forced a pool of blood out of his body.

Looking at the bronze cauldron before him, he took a deep breath. "Come on, let me see if this trick will work!"
