At first glance, the entire medicine cauldron appears normal, but upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that the entire cauldron is covered in cracks; at least half of the cauldron is filled with almost transparent cracks.
From top to bottom, the crack spread out like a pine tree. Xiao Yan immediately saw the reason for this: above the medicine cauldron, there was a clear knife mark, which was the key to the damage to the medicine cauldron!
Xiao Yan stared intently at the domineering sword mark, his heart filled with awe.
The fact that the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron ranks second on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking is not due to any increase in the success rate of alchemy; the materials used to refine the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron alone are extraordinary.
A single piece of Heavenly Yang Azure Metal is probably more valuable than the entire fortune of a Origin Transformation Realm expert, and the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron is made from a single piece of Heavenly Yang Azure Metal.
This is why it was able to maintain its original shape even after being severely damaged. Such a resilient medicine cauldron was something Xiao Yan had never seen before in many years!
Xiao Yan slowly raised his hand, his fingertips brushing against the domineering knife mark. The moment they touched it, the terrifyingly powerful aura left by the predecessor surged out from the knife mark and invaded Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan, causing his face to turn pale instantly.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, a cold snort came from Xiao Yan's body, and the extremely domineering sword energy was shattered in response. Even so, the exploding sword energy still caused a considerable impact on Xiao Yan's body.
"Pfft!"
At the instant the sword energy exploded, Xiao Yan was forced to retreat several steps, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Hmph! A mere remnant of sword energy, yet you dare to flaunt your power before me? Let alone that you are just a remnant of sword energy, even if I myself were here, I wouldn't have the ability!"
Gu You's figure slowly appeared beside Xiao Yan, letting out a cold snort. With a flick of his sleeve, an invisible force instantly surged out, striking the knife mark once more.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the remaining blade energy on it instantly exploded, wiped out by Gu You in one move. Then, Gu You turned to look at Xiao Yan, who was kneeling to the side, and let out a soft snort, gently rebuking him:
"This kind of guy, although his strength isn't anything special, is still not someone you can mess with casually. You think that sword mark has lost its power after nearly a thousand years? You really don't know your own limitations. If I weren't here today, once that sword energy fully erupted, even this Ancient Wilderness City would probably be destroyed in an instant. With your... Hmph!"
As soon as Gu You spoke, Xiao Yan coughed violently a few more times, and the muscles on his face twitched.
The entire Ancient Wilderness City was destroyed in a single blow, and in an instant. Xiao Yan was certain that even if he were to self-destruct with all his might, combined with the Heavenly Flames within his body, it would be impossible to create such a terrifying attack.
However, it is truly astonishing that such a small blade of energy can create such a terrifying bombardment.
Shocked, Xiao Yan was also secretly relieved that Elder Gu was present today; otherwise, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.
Xiao Yan became increasingly curious about the powerful figure who left that sword mark. To leave behind such a powerful sword aura that could last for a thousand years, this powerful figure must have been at least at the Origin King Great Realm!
The Origin King Great Realm is something Xiao Yan can hardly imagine now. A powerhouse of that level would have a place on the continent. And the fact that the opponent's full-force attack was on this medicine cauldron suggests that the previous owner of the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron was no ordinary person!
After a moment of reflection, Xiao Yan coughed a few more times and quickly took out a Tier Nine Recovery Pill from his Storage Ring, swallowing it in one gulp.
As the pill entered his body, a warm current rapidly spread from Xiao Yan's abdomen, and his internal injuries gradually began to heal.
As Xiao Yan stood up, Gu You beside him let out another soft snort, laid out his withered hand in front of Xiao Yan, and said calmly:
"Take it; it will bring you countless benefits."
Raising an eyebrow, Xiao Yan looked at Gu You's palm, where a lustrous, jade-like bead lay quietly.
"This..."
Before Xiao Yan could ask a question, Gu You immediately spoke up:
"Don't overthink it. I don't have anything to give you. This is the sword energy from before, but after I refined it, some of that person's sword technique insights still remain. Although your weapon isn't a broadsword, the two are similar, and you should be able to gain quite a bit of understanding from it."
Upon hearing Gu You's words, Xiao Yan felt a surge of gratitude. Gu You usually upheld his duties and almost ignored Xiao Yan, but at this moment, he still cared about Xiao Yan's strength. How could Xiao Yan not be moved by such an action?
Xiao Yan was a man who always reciprocated kindness tenfold. Seeing Gu You's righteousness, he did not hesitate to take half a step back and respectfully bow to Gu You as a junior.
"This junior is deeply grateful for your great kindness, senior!"
Upon seeing Xiao Yan's reaction, Gu You's eyes flashed, and a smile of appreciation flickered across his lips. But it was only for a moment. After that, Gu You returned to normal, gave a light snort as a reply to Xiao Yan, and casually tossed the bead in his hand to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan quickly caught it and carefully examined the bead in his hand.
Gu You completely ignored Xiao Yan's presence and looked at the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron, or more accurately, at the knife mark on the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron.
After a long while, Gu You glanced briefly at Xiao Yan beside him, pursed his lips, and stared directly at the knife mark with his deep old eyes before slowly speaking:
"What? Now that the sword energy is broken, your seal is also broken. You don't plan to come out and let us get to know you, or do you want me to drag you out myself!"
As soon as Gu You uttered these words, Xiao Yan's expression changed immediately. He looked at Gu You, then frowned and followed Gu You's gaze. His expression changed again in an instant. Gu You was actually speaking to the knife mark!
As soon as Gu You finished speaking, something within the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron seemed to sense it. After hesitating for a moment, it finally sighed, and then a nearly transparent figure slowly floated out from the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron, appearing before Xiao Yan and Gu You.
