The wind passed by, rustling, and Purple Leaves fell.
"Zitang Su, are you the owner of this tucked-away place, and is that cauldron yours?" Ye Lingyue stared wide-eyed, her eyes full of astonishnt.
When she first arrived at Lonely Moon Sea, she worried about encountering Zitang Su.
Because of the matter involving Feng Xun and Wu Zhong, Ye Lingyue held a grudge against Zitang Su, believing that he had caused their deaths.
But later, when Little Di Shen ca back to life, Ye Lingyue’s hostility toward Zitang Su dissipated.
After all, with the appearance of the Doomsday Demon Sun, the entire mainland was facing catastrophic danger, and Zitang Su, as the representative of the Lonely Moon Sea among the Three Sects, was responsible for sealing the Demon Ancestor and restraining the Doomsday Demon Sun.
She had once worried about a future encounter with Zitang Su, fearing he might recognize her identity. When she first arrived at Lonely Moon Sea, she was on edge for a while.
But soon, Ye Lingyue realized her worries were unnecessary.
No one in the Outer Sect knew Zitang Su, nor had anyone heard of Lord Zitang.
If it hadn’t been for eting him at the World’s First Forging Competition, Ye Lingyue would have suspected that her encounter with Zitang Su was rely a dream.
Two years passed, and Ye Lingyue never saw Zitang Su.
Furthermore, after Fishing Old Man recognized Ye Lingyue’s identity, she was less apprehensive.
She never expected to et Zitang Su again at such a ti and place.
Zitang Su didn’t answer imdiately; his face showed no extra emotion, as if he were looking at a stranger.
Ye Lingyue rembered; Feng Xun had remarked that Zitang Su was famously forgetful.
Perhaps he didn’t rember her.
Just as Ye Lingyue was conflicted about whether to reintroduce herself.
"Dugu Heaven." Zitang Su said firmly, stressing the words.
"What?"
Ye Lingyue was surprised.
"Not tucked-away place, but Dugu Heaven."
Ye Lingyue then realized he was telling her the na of the place, Dugu Heaven.
She almost forgot; this man was not only forgetful but also spoke very little.
No, how co the na Dugu Heaven sounds familiar... Dugu Heaven, Green Moon Cliff, Sea Star Island, this must be Dugu Heaven, one of the three regions of Lonely Moon Sea?
"This is Dugu Heaven? Then how do I leave this place? Oh, you probably don’t rember ; we t before, and you took sothing of mine."
Ye Lingyue glanced at Zitang Su and noticed her Qiankun Bag hanging from his waist.
"Not angry anymore?" Zitang Su’s thin lips pressed slightly, his voice carrying a hint of tension.
He vividly rembered Ye Lingyue’s heartbroken expression when he sealed the Demon Ancestor.
"Put down first." Ye Lingyue waved her hand, indicating for Zitang Su to put her down.
She was now soone betrothed, despite Zitang Su being significantly older than her, he was still a man.
Little did Ye Lingyue know, Zitang Su wasn’t asking about the Qiankun Purple Gold Bag but about Feng Xun’s death.
Zitang Su, with snow-white hair, was tall and thin; from behind, he looked like an elderly man.
Additionally, with his purple eyes, pale skin, and paper-like appearance, as if a gust of wind could topple him, yet his strength was surprising.
In Dugu Heaven, where gravity is abnormal, he held her effortlessly, as if Ye Lingyue weighed nothing.
"Is that cauldron yours? Why are there Demon Souls and Devil Souls inside?"
Ye Lingyue still felt uneasy.
Looking again at the Ancient Bronze Cauldron, the black fire beneath had vanished, and the spiritual beasts that once overflowed with spiritual light were gone.
Zitang Su’s eyes narrowed slightly, contemplating whether to tell Ye Lingyue about the cauldron’s function.
"Master, there’s sothing strange about that cauldron. I can feel it contains a Cauldron Spirit, much higher than my level, possibly a Ding Saint or a Cauldron Immortal. If I’m not mistaken, it’s the thing we’ve been searching for; it might be related to Little Di Shen’s Primordial Spirit strengthening thod. Master, you must find a way to stay; my spiritual power is insufficient to communicate with it for now, but there might be chances in the future." The Cauldron Spirit suddenly spoke.
Ye Lingyue was startled, deciding not to ask Zitang Su the question she originally had in mind.
This old cauldron might hold a thod for Little Di Shen to cultivate his Primordial Spirit?
She needed a way to extract this information, but how to phrase it.
She had almost released those Demon Souls and Devil Souls earlier.
"Did I cause trouble earlier?"
Ye Lingyue’s eyes rolled, thinking of ways to engage Zitang Su.
This man was the hardest to communicate with; her full sentence received a maximum of a half-sentence in return.
If Sect Leader Wuya heard this, he might tearfully lant.
Getting a half-sentence reply from Lord Zitang, this little miscellaneous servant was still unsatisfied; it’s important to know that Sect Leader Wuya can speak ten sentences to Zitang Su, and Zitang Su might not respond with a single word.
Zitang Su pondered.
He wanted to tell Ye Lingyue that she had indeed caused a significant disturbance.
However, seeing Ye Lingyue’s nervous eyes, Zitang Su couldn’t bring himself to say a single reproachful word.
That cauldron, known as the Shishen Refining Demon Cauldron, is the Demon Suppressing Cauldron of Lonely Moon Sea.
The Demon Souls and Devil Souls inside are souls and Primordial Elixirs captured by the demon clan during Ancient Battlefield expeditions.
In just a hundred days, they can be refined.
Today was already the ninety-sixth day; Zitang Su went out because he heard unusual movents by the Three Realms Eagle above Dugu Heaven, suspecting so unperceptive sect disciples had intruded, checking outside.
Unexpectedly, Ye Lingyue ca in at this ti and opened the cauldron.
The Demon Energy leaked, and the Demon Souls and Devil Souls absorbed nature’s spiritual energy, enhancing their souls again; Zitang Su had to start refining from scratch.
More troubling is that Zitang Su needs to leave for a while soon.
During his absence, the Shishen Refining Demon Cauldron would be unattended, and every day soone must fuel the cauldron, or the demon refining might not go smoothly.
But in Lonely Moon Sea, apart from him, capable of aiding the refining demon cauldron...
Seeing Zitang Su’s changing expressions, Ye Lingyue guessed she might be in serious trouble.
"Just tell honestly, if I’ve indeed done damage, is there a way to make up for it? Whatever you need, I’ll do my best to accomplish it."
Ye Lingyue roughly guessed that the cauldron might be related to Lonely Moon Sea’s secrets.
Zitang Su might be an Artifact Refiner or Alchemist in Lonely Moon Sea, and likely the owner of the cauldron.
If she wanted to know the thod to help Little Di Shen’s Primordial Spirit, she must forgive past grievances and build a good relationship with Zitang Su.
Before Ye Lingyue could finish speaking, Zitang Su suddenly grasped her wrist.
His grip was firm, startling Ye Lingyue, who tried to break free, but Zitang Su had already released her.
"You stay," Zitang Su abruptly said, gazing steadily at Ye Lingyue.
