Pill Cauldron Sect

Pill Cauldron Sect extended across a series of mountains. Without a navigator, it was daunting. if not impossible, to locate their place. Furthermore, they situated themselves within a formation. Unless the formation was stripped, their location would be perceived as a desolate plain. Having Cai Lie guide them, therefore, was a blessing. He also saved them the hassle of going through security checks. It wouldn’t have been so simple if it was just an ordinary disciple who led them in.

The sentry stood in a pavilion anterior to a white plain. After greeting the sentry, Cai Lie performed a series of hand seals to remove the haze using his spiritual energy. The scenery undulated until towering mountain peaks were gradually revealed.

“Let’s go,” said Cai Lie, leading the duo.

Ku Mu was indifferent to the familiar sect he grew up at, but Mu Yu’s awe was written all over his face. The most majestic sect he had ever seen was Green Pine Sect. Green Pine Sect was a peasant village compared to Pill Cauldron Sect. Pill Cauldron Sect’s marvellous pavilions, halls, flying disciples and uniforms put Green Pine Sect’s to shame.

The main mountain was rightfully named Pill Cauldron Peak, where their patriarch, Daoist Yundao, resided. Its height and the voices of the singing birds added an ethereal touch to the headquarters. The main mountain sat between four mountains, each belonging to a faction.

Yao Wuji’s faction occupied Mystic Rainbow Peak. Shi Dengtian’s faction occupied Heavenly Secret Peak. Bing Lengxue’s faction occupied Frosty Peak. Ku Mu’s faction occupied Bamboo Peak.

The various halls and pavilions were just visible through the tree tops from the various mountain peaks. Their quaint ambience and designs spoke volumes about Pill Cauldron Sect’s long history. There was a cauldron roughly hundreds of metres high slowly rotating in the air in the sect grounds. As it pivoted on the spot, its faint golden light illuminated the sect. The cauldron was a fairly accurate depiction of just how many resources and how much wealth the sect had in their possession.

“The cauldron is our sect’s guardian, charged with guarding our fate. You probably didn’t know this, b-”

“He knows,” interrupted Ku Mu, rendering Cai Lie awkward.

Ku Mu and Mu Yu flew to Bamboo Mountain. In the meantime, Cai Lie went to report to Daoist Yun Dao.

Mu Yu: Oh, he must’ve been searching for labourers when I treated him to a slap fest.

Mu Yu gave Shi Minghui a subtle grin, “Do you prefer to be dead?”

“What are you doing here?! Surrender now for trespassing, and I shall spare you.”

“Typical lines, huh? Who’d did you get them off? From what I know, this isn’t your turf. You authorised to be tampering with the place?”

Mu Yu chose to flamboyantly challenge for his place on the name list, reasoning it would be more efficient if he just blew them all away at once instead of a low-key approach, which would result in oblivious individuals picking fights. That would mean he’d have to deal with every challenger.

“You have no say in it. I don’t care even if Ku Mu comes back. I just have to say the word, and you’re a dead man.”

A Primordial Infant Realm Sixth Layer man leading a group of Golden Core Realm guards appeared. “What happened, Young Master Shi?”

“How did the spy sneak in, Captain Liu? Are you doing your job properly? Don’t just stand there. Arrest him.”

Captain Liu sternly questioned, “Who are you two? Why are you here?”

“Get lost,” brayed Ku Mu, displaying a green octagon token with Pill Cauldron Sect’s symbol on it.

Captain Liu’s brain stuttered.

Shi Minghui: “Y-you’re...”
