The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 973 Receiving a "Good Person Card" (2 Updates)
The spirit of the divine cauldron, unable to accept the current state of affairs, finally stopped making noises of breaching its defenses.

Xuan Chu raised his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. This world seemed to be very backward.

Unexpectedly, the evil spirits or artifact spirits here are not easy to deal with.

"Let me stop touching your head, which means this small jade cauldron should only be a part of it!"

Xuan Chu immediately began to work, continuing to knock and tap on the stone wall that had previously covered the jade cauldron.

Mo Zhi glanced in Long Ling's direction, then looked at Xuan Chu's side, and immediately felt that Xuan Chu might need her help more.

However, the feeling of her hand being burned by the jade cauldron still left Mo Zhi somewhat shaken.

"Mr. Xuan, do you need my help?"

Xuan Chu turned his head and looked at Mo Zhi, whose eyes were earnest but whose face showed lingering fear.

Suddenly speechless, anyone who could read faces would not think that Mo Zhi's fearful appearance made her seem like she could be of any help.

Xuan Chu was about to say no, but seeing Mo Zhi's eyes, he swallowed his words of refusal.

"Why don't you help me dig through these stone walls?"

Hearing that Xuan Chu only wanted him to help dig into the stone wall, Mo Zhi was immediately delighted.

Although she disliked the burning sensation she had felt before, she was willing to help pull the jade cauldron out if Xuan Chu really asked her to do so.

Mo Zhi would also step forward to help; after all, it's just a burn, it won't kill you.

But Xuan Chu only asked her to help dig into the stone wall, which moved Mo Zhi deeply.

Indeed, those who can walk alongside a master are all good people~~~
Mo Zhi had seen it before; some Xuan Masters had kept ghost servants and sent them to do all sorts of dangerous things. It wasn't just burning; many had even suffered complete annihilation.

Yunran did not accept Mozhi as her ghost servant, but in Mozhi's heart, she was Yunran's ghost servant.

Xuan Chu had no idea that he was being friend-zoned by a ghost.

They continued examining the inscriptions on the body of the man who claimed to be the Divine Cauldron.

The inscription on the exposed small cauldron is not complete. I hadn't looked closely before and thought this small jade cauldron was a complete one.

Now it seems that the spirit's voice may not have been lying; the jade cauldron that appeared was indeed just a head.

Mo Zhi's long fingernails reappeared.

What appear to be incredibly fragile fingernails are actually many times harder than the magical artifacts of many Xuan Masters.

These stone walls are impossible to move with ordinary tools.

But when it came to Mo Zhi's nails, they were like soft tofu, easily peeled away.

In no time, Mo Zhi had dug out a large space.

An even larger cauldron appeared before Mo Zhi and Xuan Chu.

Mo Zhi's mouth gaped open; she had truly learned something new.

It turns out that the small jade cauldron was just one corner of this large cauldron that was emitting black mist.

The large cauldron and the small jade cauldron appear to be a single, seamless piece, not two different materials welded together.

But now, these two tripods, which are clearly made of one piece, are showing the appearance of two different materials.

Xuan Chu looked at the small jade cauldron whose sound had been sealed by the talisman. There were three other cauldrons of the same size and shape.

But the other three jade tripods were completely black, looking like they were made of black jade.

However, it lacks the luster of black jade and instead subtly exudes an unpleasant aura.

After the initial shock, Mo Zhi finally regained her composure and asked Xuan Chu in a low voice, "Mr. Xuan, what do you think?" Although she had only seen a tiny bit of what was happening before her eyes.

However, Xuan Chu felt that he probably knew what had happened to this divine cauldron.

"If this really is a divine cauldron, then it is buried here, sharing a room with the monster in that jar."

This is most likely some kind of ritual, the purpose of which is naturally to destroy the original function of the divine cauldron.

If Long Ling and the others hadn't discovered what was happening here, perhaps it wouldn't have been long before the last head of this divine cauldron would have slowly turned black as well.

These black things exude an ominous aura; they're definitely not good stuff!

Mo Zhi felt the same way, and at the same time, she was vaguely afraid of her previous recklessness.

Even with only this last intact, unpolluted corner remaining, the divine cauldron made her feel as if her hands were being burned.

If the divine cauldron were still intact, she would probably lose half her life just by getting close to it.

Xuan Chu looked at most of the divine cauldron's body, which was emanating an ominous and deathly aura.

Suddenly, he remembered what he had seen of the forest outside.

This might be the reason why he felt conflicted before.

This mountain was eroded by deathly and malevolent energy, yet it retained a last vestige of life. The flowers, plants, and trees looked lifeless, but they were not completely dead.

Xuan Chu then looked at the small jade cauldron, which was still intact and had not been corroded.

"I'm now removing the talisman that was sealing you. You promise not to attack my soul again, can you do that?"

As he spoke, Xuan Chu peeled off the talisman that was pasted on the little jade cauldron.

【Ugh, why did I become like this? I need to take a shower…】

Xuan Chu immediately reattached the talisman.

He felt that now might not be the time to communicate with the spirit of this divine cauldron; this guy simply couldn't calm down.

Xuan Chu did not want to suffer the indiscriminate soul attack from the artifact spirit any longer.

Spirit: ...

No, why don't you try again? This time, I promise I can calm down!
Unfortunately, Xuan Chu wasn't the kind of person who liked to give people (spirits) two chances.

The jade cauldron, sealed by the talisman, could neither shout nor harm Mo Zhi.

Although Xuan Chu was quite strong, looking at the enormous divine cauldron that was taller than him, he felt there was no need for him to suffer.

He immediately looked at Mo Zhi and said, "Drag this divine cauldron out and clean off all the filth on it while you're at it."

For Mo Zhi, these things were nothing more than trivial matters.

Compared to Xuan Chu himself, that was not only twice as effective with half the effort, but also a complete dimensional reduction attack.

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Mo Zhi started working hard, and Xuan Chu then reached into his pocket, took out a bottle, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them.

After catching his breath, Xuan Chu headed towards Long Ling and the others.

The once arrogant jar is now under fierce attack from the dragon spirit and the little paper doll.

The monster inside finally wilted.
