Of course, disappearing along with the group was the blood lingzhi in the air.

Gu Changan, however, fled to the side unscathed!

In the eyes of that terrifying monster, Gu Changan was likely just a tiny bug with no nutritional value at all!

Amidst their screams, Gu Changan jumped into the mire clutching the bronze small cauldron, as the light of the crimson Star Jade suddenly flared.

As the foul-smelling muddy water poured into his mouth and nose, Gu Changan saw the crimson glow circulating within the Star Jade condense into tiny seal script characters inside the small cauldron: "Using treasures as bait, using slaughter to nourish treasures."

At the same time, golden lines like a spiderweb emerged from the bottom of the bronze basin, transforming the essence blood dissipated upon the deaths of those three Cultivators into crimson mist, which continuously poured into the Star Jade.

Finally, that crimson Star Jade lit up completely, reflecting an eerie blood-light within the mist.

Gu Changan only caught a glimpse; how could he care about so much?

He fled for his life, running a long distance until he saw a relatively deep patch of reeds and dove straight in.

Only when Gu Changan felt slightly safer did he take out the bronze small cauldron in his hand to observe it.

His heart pounded wildly; this treasure now belonged to him?

Sure enough, the plots in novels never deceived him: wealth is sought amidst danger.

No one expected those three powerful people to be eaten in the blink of an eye.

This world really is dangerous!

Gu Changan looked curiously into the bronze small cauldron and saw that the blood lingzhi inside had become two.

Gu Changan was greatly surprised; when he first got it, he didn't know what was inside.

It was only because those three people wanted the blood lingzhi that he knew there was blood lingzhi inside the bronze small cauldron.

But in that emergency, hadn't he already poured the blood lingzhi out?

Could there have been two blood lingzhi inside the bronze small cauldron?

But that didn't seem right either!

If he poured it out, shouldn't both have been poured out together?

Why were there still two now?

Furthermore, since he still had blood lingzhi in his hand, why didn't that terrifying monster chase him?

Gu Changan suddenly thought of something.

Could it be that this bronze small cauldron has the effect of isolating a treasure's aura?

This would explain why the terrifying monster stopped chasing him after eating the three people and taking the blood lingzhi!

Gu Changan was secretly excited; he had truly picked up a treasure!

However, what was the "Black-Yellow Treasure Qi" that the One-eyed Dragon mentioned earlier?

What was the ancient secret technique?

Gu Changan was truly too curious.

He didn't know any ancient secret techniques, so the strangeness must definitely lie with the bronze small cauldron itself!

Gu Changan recalled the previous scene and squeezed the bronze small cauldron hard, his spiritual power trickling into it, and then the blood lingzhi inside turned from two into three.

Gu Changan smiled happily, unconsciously laughing out loud.

Suddenly feeling it was inappropriate, he covered his mouth and chuckled "Hehehe."

A beautiful life had arrived just like that; although the start of his Transmigration to another world was dangerous, he had obtained a treasure that could duplicate items, which looked like a bronze small cauldron.

Why not just call it a "treasure gathering basin"?

Looking at the seven dazzling gems on it, Gu Changan muttered to himself, "Seven-Star treasure gathering basin"?

Although he didn't know what these seven gems did yet, when he was duplicating just now, the crimson gem seemed to have dimmed a bit.

Could it be that energy is stored within these gems?

Energy that can duplicate treasures?

Suddenly he thought of the "Black-Yellow Treasure Qi" from before; could it be that the thing inside this crimson gem is the "Black-Yellow Treasure Qi"?

What Gu Changan didn't know was that by mere speculation, he had guessed most of the truth.

Gu Changan began to fiddle with the bronze small cauldron; since the things inside could expand and shrink, this bronze small cauldron must have an internal storage space and was very likely an Advanced Magic Treasure.

Holding the bronze small cauldron in his hand, Gu Changan thought: "Retrieve!"

The bronze small cauldron instantly shrank and flew into Gu Changan's Dantian.

Gu Changan was full of surprises, constantly experimenting with the bronze small cauldron, making it larger one moment and smaller the next.

When enlarged, the bronze small cauldron looked like an ancient sacrificial cauldron; hiding inside, it could serve as a shield.

This added another layer of protection, but if he used this function, he would have to kill all witnesses; otherwise, if such a good treasure were exposed, he would be hunted and never know peace again!

Setting aside his thoughts, Gu Changan prepared to break off a small piece of the blood lingzhi to consume; since it was a Spirit Medicine, it would definitely be beneficial to his body!

His body was truly too weak; he didn't even know how his predecessor had died.

There were no wounds on his body; could he have died from poison?

Or was it an untreated internal injury that slowly took his breath away?

Gu Changan didn't know!

He only knew that with such a good treasure as the blood lingzhi, it would be truly foolish not to replenish his condition and increase his chances of survival!

He broke off a thumb-sized piece of the blood lingzhi and tossed it into his mouth; before he could swallow, the roar of the terrifying monster came from the distance again.

Gu Changan was instantly stunned; he had been too excited and forgotten about this.

Once the aura of the blood lingzhi was released, it startled the monster!

He hurriedly put away the bronze small cauldron to isolate the aura of the blood lingzhi.

Then he kept running in one direction.

He didn't know if his predecessor had bad luck or just lacked strength.

He had lost his life at the edge of the Misty Swamp on the outskirts of the Ancient Forbidden Land, but this had worked out in Gu Changan's favor.

Before long, he felt like he had passed through a membrane, and the air outside became fresh.

A single membrane separated two completely different worlds!

Inside were reed marshes and swamps, while outside was a vast forest, though the trees were sparse and didn't look very lush.

Moreover, most of the various plants were not species Gu Changan had seen before.

There were also some trees that were quite massive, reaching a hundred meters in height, appearing abruptly in the forest.

Near the membrane, there were almost no trees, like a buffer zone.

What Gu Changan didn't know was that when he crossed the membrane, something happened at Tianji Mountain far away in the Eastern Region.

Situated on Tianji Mountain was the overlord of the Eastern Region: the Tianji Pavilion!

In the Tianji Valley behind Tianji Mountain, there was a tianji stele, which was the Forbidden Ground of the entire Tianji Pavilion.

Just now, the entire bronze tianji stele suddenly vibrated.

This immediately alerted the Master of the Tianji Pavilion, Immortal Master Xuanyin, who was still in seclusion.

Inside the Tianji Pavilion at the peak of Tianji Mountain, the Tianji Old Ancestor, Immortal Master Xuanyin, opened his eyes and glanced at the bronze stele in the Forbidden Ground from afar.

Then, stroking his beard with his left hand, he began to calculate with his right.

Suddenly, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and some of the black hair on his head slowly turned white; it seemed he had consumed some Lifespan.

The Tianji Old Ancestor didn't care at all, only repeatedly muttering: "A variable! A variable!"

"Chaos in the world?"

"Or, a glimmer of hope?"

"I can't see any hope at all!"

"Forget it! Forget it!"

The Tianji Old Ancestor waved his hand, and the blood on the ground disappeared as if it had never been there!

The Tianji Old Ancestor turned his head and looked at a spot halfway up the mountain, as if seeing through the entire mountain directly at a young girl practicing swordplay under a peach blossom tree.
