Boom boom boom boom boom.
The mountain’s interior. Li Yu’s body zoomed into countless figures, filling the entire space while his fist shadows rattled off.
The green flames engulfing the entire confined space dissipated into thin air again.
Li Yu did not stop as he kept punching the surrounding metal walls.
‘The metal wall immediately flickered with green light, and it even cracked open.
“Stop, stop, stop! Stop! I submit! I submit!” The Life Spirit True Flame’s voice echoed again.
Immediately, it condensed again, and its front hooves knelt on the ground as it lowered its head in submission.
“Immortal Venerable, please spare my life and stop hitting the cauldron. Any more and this cauldron will shatter. I’m willing to submit. Please spare my life, Immortal Venerable!” The Life Spirit True Flame knelt on the ground and trembled.
How could it have imagined that a fellow with a mortal body could become so terrifying?
‘The power of each punch could absolutely destroy the world. It was simply too terrifying.
This person was not as simple as he seemed.
Perhaps a Perfected Immortal or Golden Immortal was pretending to be weak here.
“Too late. It’ll be safer if I beat you back to your original form!” Li Yu rubbed his fist as he spoke.
“No, no, please spare my life, Immortal Venerable. It’s not easy for me to cultivate into my current state. Please let me off!” the Life Spirit True Flame begged profusely.
“If [let you off, what about my junior brother’s injuries? Look at him. He’s almost cooked by you!” Li Yu pointed at the heavily injured Gu Yuqi on the ground.
“I-Ican treat his injuries!” Immediately, a ball of green flames enveloped Gu Yugi, and his injuries began to recover.
“Junior Brother, how are you feeling?” Li Yu looked at Gu Yugi.
“I’ve basically recovered. Thank you, Senior Brother. I’ve brought you too much trouble!” Gu Yuqi had a bitter expression.
He was also helpless with all the misfortunes.
What is wrong with me? Why are there all sorts of bizarre and unlucky events dropping on my head?
Is it really like what my senior brother said? This happens when heaven is about to confer a great responsibility on man?
“Hmph, Life Spirit True Flame, if you’re willing to submit to me, you have to show some sincerity!” said Li Yu.
He knew that this Life Spirit True Flame was not just a natural oddity.
“Of course. To be honest, I’m the cauldron spirit of this Heaven and Earth Cauldron and also a cauldron fire. The place you are at now is the bottom of this cauldron. I can bring you to the upper level of the cauldron with many immortal pills and sacred herbs. Immortal Venerable, I’m willing to submit to
you. In the future, this Heaven and Earth Cauldron will belong to you,” said the True Fire respectfully.
A smile flashed through Li Yu’s eyes when he heard that. He gained something excellent.
Although he had long guessed that this Life Spirit True Flame was an artifact spirit, he did not expect to obtain immortal pills and sacred herbs through it.
Furthermore, this Heaven and Earth Cauldron sounded awesome. It should be an extraordinary treasure.
“Mm, very well. Bring me there then!” Li Yu said in a low voice.
“Immortal Venerable, please follow me!” The Life Spirit True Flame flew up. At the same time, a deep passage appeared on the top.
Li Yu and Gu Yugi looked at each other and flew up together. In the end, they arrived in a larger space. It was also surrounded by iron walls with countless giant runes and strange patterns carved.
Not only that, but 29 pills floated in the air.
Those pills looked heavenly, while some resembled Heaven Earth Dao Fruit.
It was as if every pill had a world of its own.
The Life Spirit True Flame introduced the names and effects of various immortal pills and sacred medicines in detail to Li Yu. Sacred medicine were pills of a higher grade than immortal pills, and they were also more precious.
There were three of such pills here. According to the Life Spirit True Flame, one could only consume them at the Mahayana Realm. One sacred medicine could assist one to become an immortal. It also contained the power of the Great Dao, helping the user improve his Dao comprehension.
There were a total of 26 immortal pills. They were treasures that immortals used daily to assist in their cultivation. However, to mortal cultivators, it could change their fate.
The effect was roughly similar to the Heavenly Spirit Pills, but it was more effective by several times. The most important thing was that one immortal pill could improve a cultivator’s cultivation progress by a hundred years.
“Not bad, not bad!” Li Yu accepted the pills and pills happily.

With these immortal pills and sacred medicines, he could practically mass-produce immortals.
Furthermore, after obtaining this Life Spirit True Flame, he did not have to worry about not having any immortal pills or sacred medicines.
“Immortal Venerable, you only need a drop of blood essence to make me accept you as my master. You can control this Heaven and Earth Cauldron freely after that!” the Life Spirit True Flame added.
Li Yu nodded and cut his finger to drip a drop of blood. The Life Spirit True Flame absorbed the blood essence, causing the entire cauldron to tremble.
At the same time, Li Yu felt a strange connection between his body and the cauldron.
It was as if the cauldron was a part of his body, something that he could control freely.
He instantly received a complete understanding of the cauldron. The cauldron was gigantic, beyond his expectation.
It seemed that the mountain was only a part of the cauldron. If he kept it away, the mountain would disappear instantly.
I wonder if they have finished gathering the spirit herbs!
Li Yu thought, then with a command in his mind, a dark passageway appeared above the cauldron.
It was the one through which Li Yu and Gu Yugi had been sucked into the cauldron. It was now under his control.
Li Yu brought Gu Yugi into the passage and returned to the hillside.
“Hmm?” When they returned to the ground, Li Yu immediately noticed the group of people in midair.
He recognized the three cultivation families who had almost fought over the Earth Saint Fruit.
Li Yu brought Gu Yugi to Tang Chi and the others in an instant.
“Senior Brother, you’re back. Is Junior Brother Gu alright?” Tang Chi beamed with joy when he saw that Li Yu and Gu Yugi had returned safely.
Wu Chang, Ji Qinglan, Su Mu, and the others showed faces of joy. They had just sensed that the ground quaking had disappeared. They knew Li Yu was likely returning soon.
“It’s all settled. This mountain is really not simple. I just received a nice treasure. I’ll tell you guys more later. What’s wrong with these people? Are they here to rob the natural spirit herbs?”
Li Yu knew the purpose of their visit without even thinking.
“That’s right, Senior Brother. They said they were the ones who first discovered the Earth Saint Fruits here and demanded us to hand it over!” Tang Chi complained.
“Who’s that shameless?!” Li Yu’s gaze turned cold as he turned to look at the crowd in the air.
“That guy was struck by lightning and just woke up. It’s that guy whose entire body is toasted!” Tang Chi pointed at the Su family’s Grand Elder in the air.
Li Yu shot a glance and could not be bothered with them.
After all, there were too many such clowns. They liked to show off even though they were weak. The experience points he would earn after killing them were negligible, so he was not interested.
“Have you gathered all the spirit herbs on this mountain?” Li Yu asked his juniors.
Everyone nodded.
“Alright, we’ll leave this mountain. I’m keeping my treasures!” Li Yu requested with a smile, and then he soared into the sky with everyone.
Everyone looked at Li Yu curiously, wondering what the treasure he was talking about.
Immediately after, the mountain in front of him suddenly trembled violently. Rumbling sounds shook the earth, and the ground on the hillside began to collapse as if the heavens were collapsing, Sand and stones flew, and trees fell. It was a horrifying sight.
Before long, one towering mountain disappeared, and a huge pit was left behind.
After that, a ray of light flashed and vanished into Li Yu’s palm.
“The… The mountain is gone?” The eyes of the three families in the air were about to pop out as they were shocked.
