Although it was currently wreathed in flames, the cauldron itself did not seem to have undergone any changes on the surface.
'Hmm? What a nice smell! This is definitely a cauldron which has refined many a medicine before!'
Xia Lianyan, who had not taken the cauldron seriously from the start, now stared at the ball of fire with interest.
"Senior Brother Bai, this cauldron is really pretty! Can you gift it to this little junior sister?"
Xia Lianyan said cutely with her round eyes open wide and staring straight at Bai Wuxie.
"Of cours- no! I can't give it to you! This is my family's heirloom, so I can't gift it to Junior Sister. If you really like it, senior brother will bring you to buy one that looks exactly the same when we get back, ok?"
'If she's like this now, what'll happen when she grows up?'
Bai Wuxie felt a cold sweat run down the back of his neck. He had almost been charmed by the cute act put on by Xia Lianyan, nearly causing him to lose himself and agree to gift her his family heirloom!
"I like this one the best, Senior brother, can you give it to me... ppwwease?" Xia Lianyan pleaded in her most adorable voice.
"No way. This cauldron is an item that'd been passed through numerous generations in my family. If I gave it away like this, I'll become the family's sinner, and will have let down my ancestors!"
Bai Wuxie's speech was so righteous that even he himself almost believed it.
'Heihei, little girl, you're still a bit too tender to be acting cute in front of this grandmaster. If it was so easy to obtain things using only looks, would I still have to exert myself so much to live? Even this handsome lord was forced to cultivate properly after nearly starving to death trying to eke out a living based on looks, not to mention you.'
Bai Wuxie was completely unmoved by Xia Lianyan's act. He hasn't even gotten a monk to look at their horoscopes yet, not to mention getting married. If he really gave away all his possessions just to obtain the heart of the girl, was he supposed to eat grass himself afterwards?
'Tsk, he actually didn't fall for it. Maybe I should find a chance to knock him out and snatch the cauldron away by force?'
Since her cute act didn't work, Xia Lianyan was understandably annoyed. Immediately, she started thinking of other methods.
The more she thought about it, the more she liked the idea. Xia Lianyan's eyes lit up as she looked at the back of Bai Wuxie's head with ill intentions.
"Eh?"
Bai Wuxie suddenly felt a cold shiver travel down his spine, as though something bad was about to happen to him.
'Maybe I'm just being overly paranoid...'
After looking around timidly for a moment, he went back to look at the cooking cauldron.
Half an hour later, the strange runes on the sides of the cauldron started to wriggle and move about as though they were alive!
Numerous phantom images manifested around the cauldron, turning into countless scores of chains which swiveled around the cauldron!
A thick fragrance rose out of the cauldron, permeating the entire area!
"Wow, it smells so good!"
"This cauldron is really magical!"
"F*ck this, what the hell am I eating here?"
One of the junior disciples threw away the Demonic Beast meat jerky in his hands as he smelled the wondrous fragrance.
Processed Demonic Beast meat jerky after all still belonged to dry rations. How could dry rations be compared with the egg of a Grade 3 Demonic Beast cooked in the mystical cauldron?
The numerous disciples could not stop themselves from sucking the fragrant scent into their noses greedily. But apart from making them feel even hungrier, this act served no other purpose.
All the disciples were now looking at Bai Wuxie with a pleading look in their eyes. But Bai Wuxie only turned his head around coldly, as though he hadn't noticed anything at all.
'I might not even have enough for myself, so the rest of your should just continue eating your rations obediently,' Bai Wuxie thought darkly.
A few minutes later, the strange phenomenon around the cauldron disappeared, and the fire spouting from the firestones had also begun to die down.
"Gulp!"
The thick fragrance from the cauldron continued to grow stronger, and many disciples were unable to restrain themselves from swallowing a large mouthful of saliva.
"Roar!"
"Ao!"
"Ying!"
The roars of Demonic Beasts could be heard in all four directions, followed by the crashing of trees and stones nearby.
"Not good! It's a Demonic Beast horde!"
"Heavens! Just how many Demonic Beasts are there?!"
The junior disciples began to panic.
"D*mn it! Block them for me! Don't worry, the Demonic Beasts in this area are at most at Grade 1 or Grade 2 in strength!"
