I Can See Through All Things Information

Chapter 201: Chapter 143: Fire Element Cave, The Giant Cauldron That Grows

“Inspect the treasure?”

The elder doctor was quite surprised; he hadn’t expected Wei Shanhai to extend such an invitation.

“Indeed, the treasure I have obtained embodies a special essence that can purify the soul and inspire divine thoughts. It is extremely beneficial for a martial artist’s cultivation.

Especially for those in the Innate Realm, the effects are excellent upon first inspection, and it may be of some help to you, Doctor Chen, in your future cultivation.”

Wei Shanhai explained.

“But this is, after all, a treasure of the Wei Family. As an outsider and an old man, I fear it is inappropriate.”

...
The elder doctor wasn’t particularly interested in treasures.

He helped the Wei Family out of goodwill, not out of greed.

“You are mistaken, Doctor Chen. The gratitude I have toward you is immense, akin to a second life. My family possesses no items valuable enough to reciprocate, aside from the unique essence of this treasure, as a token of my thanks.”

Wei Shanhai earnestly said.

Ultimately, under Wei Shanhai’s sincere invitation, the elder doctor accepted his request and agreed to inspect the treasure after the banquet, to see what was so miraculous about it.

However, he had one condition: he wanted to bring Lu Qing and Ma Gu along.

Wei Shanhai had no objections.

He was aware that the reason Mrs. Wei and her son had returned safely was largely due to Lu Qing and Ma Gu.

After all, once the essence of the treasure was revealed, whether one person observed it or several more, it wouldn’t make a difference.

Thus, after the banquet, the elder doctor and his companions rested for a while before following Wei Shanhai to the backyard.

Finally, they arrived at a tall tower in the center of Wei Mansion.

“Doctor Chen, please.”

Inside the tower, Wei Shanhai opened a hidden door, releasing a dry, musty air.

“Is the treasure of your household kept underground?”

The elder doctor curiously asked as he looked at the staircase extending downward behind the hidden door.

As for Lu Qing, he became secretly vigilant, activating his superpower to look towards the hidden door.

He saw a dense Red Light emerging from it.

[Hidden Door: A portal to an unusual place underground.]

[Behind the door is another world, and it seems to contain treasures.]

[Guard mechanisms are present inside but are in the deactivated state.]

Seeing the information that appeared over the hidden door, Lu Qing’s heart relaxed slightly.

This was indeed the place where the Wei Family stored their treasures, and Wei Shanhai was not deceiving them.

As for the mechanisms, it made sense; how could a place that stores precious treasures be without any defenses?

Of course, Lu Qing had not let down his guard completely.

It wasn’t that he was suspicious by nature, but as the saying goes, it’s always good to be cautious.

After opening the hidden door, Wei Shanhai took the lead.

Wei Shanhai seemed to understand that inviting others into an underground passage could easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, he walked at the front and let Wei Xinghe and Lu Qing walk together to demonstrate that the Wei Family had no ill intentions.

After all, with the elder doctor’s capabilities, if anything unusual happened, capturing Wei Xinghe would just be a matter of flipping his hand.

The group walked down the passage, illuminated by oil lamps on both sides, which did not make it appear dim.

As they walked, Lu Qing’s expression shifted slightly.

Because he discovered that the tunnel was becoming hotter, and the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi was noticeably becoming richer.

Although he had cultivated Divine Soul Power, his Qi Acupoints had not opened yet. Sensing the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, there was a layer of obstacle, and he could not yet discern the type of Primordial Qi.

The elder doctor, however, exclaimed in admiration, “Such rich Fire Element Primordial Qi! I wouldn’t have thought that beneath this county, there exists a hidden realm. Your mansion indeed has profound foundations.”

At this point, the elder doctor understood why Wei Shanhai cultivated Fire Element True Qi.

With such a place rich in Fire Element Primordial Qi, cultivating the Fire Element Technique would certainly yield twice the results with half the effort.

“Frankly, this place wasn’t built by my Wei Family. It’s a strange place discovered by our ancestors, with its age being indiscernible. We are merely benefiting from the legacy left by our predecessors,” Wei Shanhai said somewhat embarrassedly.

As the two were talking, they suddenly saw that the stairs ahead no longer descended but became flat. After walking a few dozen steps further, the space abruptly opened up.

They saw a spacious cave come into view.

The cave walls were pale red, appearing as both stone and jade, engraved with mysterious runes.

In the center of the cave, there was a stone platform, upon which stood a pale red cauldron about half a person tall and wide enough to be embraced by several people, emitting a peculiar aura.

Such a magical scene instantly made the elder doctor and the others somewhat startled.

Especially Ma Gu, who had never seen such a sight before, his mouth agape.

Only Lu Qing, recognizing the familiar setup in the cave, was shocked.

Because he immediately recognized the meaning of the runes on the cave walls.

It was a seal formation, related to the Fire Element.

Moreover, the method of arrangement was very familiar to him.

Could this chamber be related to the Divine Talisman Sect?

A thought flashed through Lu Qing’s mind.

“Mr. Wei, could this cauldron be…” the elder doctor asked, observing the scene in front of him.

“Indeed, this red cauldron is one of the treasures that Wang Cangyi and I discovered in an extraordinary place long ago. It is the most precious among all the treasures,” Wei Shanhai nodded. “Wang Cangyi spared no effort and did so to acquire it.”

“But this cauldron looks very extraordinary; how could Wang Cangyi have allowed you to take it away?” Ma Gu asked, puzzled.

Lu Qing was also puzzled.

More importantly, the cauldron was so large and evidently very heavy, probably weighing tens of thousands of pounds. How did Wei Shanhai manage to bring it back?

Just the journey back would have attracted countless covetous eyes.

“It’s quite amazing. When Wang Cangyi and I discovered it, it was only the size of a thumb, rusty and unremarkable.

We both considered it merely a small trinket at the time. Otherwise, given Wang Cangyi’s stingy character, how could he have let me pick it out?”

“Thumb-sized?” Ma Gu could hardly believe it as he shouted.

He looked at the giant cauldron on the stone platform, struggling to imagine its original form.

Even Lu Qing and the elder doctor showed surprised expressions.

“It’s hard to believe, but it is indeed the fact. After I obtained this cauldron, it followed me as I traveled abroad for many years. During this period, it never showed any peculiarities.

It was not until I had wandered enough, reached a bottleneck in my cultivation, and returned to Wei Mansion to cultivate in this ancestral chamber with pure Fire Element Primordial Qi that it gradually began to reveal its magic.

After I discovered its extraordinariness, I placed it on the stone platform, and then watched it grow larger year by year.

From the initial size of a thumb to the size of a fist, slowly growing to the size of a sea bowl, a water jar, and now, nearly a hundred years have passed, and it has become what it is today.”

“A cauldron that grows?” Ma Gu, upon hearing this, opened his mouth wide again.

What Wei Shanhai described had exceeded his comprehension, leaving him momentarily unable to respond.

Lu Qing felt equally stunned, his thoughts stirring. Silently, he activated his superpower and concentrated as he looked toward the red giant cauldron.
