Chapter 47: The Divine Cauldron

Chapter 47

After settling down Renhe, Song Jixing continued to work hard as an artist, leaving early and returning late, flexibly clocking in and out, dedicating most of her time to making money.

Regarding the Divine Cauldron, Song Jixing also asked Renhe about it, but unfortunately didn't get much useful information.

Although Renhe was an elder guarding the treasure house, he was still a junior compared to the Divine Cauldron.

The Divine Cauldron had been in Qingyun Sect for more than 18,000 years. Only disciples who had formed the Golden Core had the qualification to see it and comprehend the Great Dao in its presence.

As for why only those with Golden Cores could approach it, this rule was set by the senior who had picked up the Divine Cauldron long ago. Whether this rule served any purpose, Renhe himself did not know.

At least during his time in Qingyun Sect, he had not heard of anyone comprehending anything in the presence of the Divine Cauldron.

The elders guarding the sect's treasure house had changed many times. The seniors from the Divine Cauldron's time had either ascended long ago or turned to dust.

What Renhe knew about the rules concerning the Divine Cauldron were all hearsay from the previous generation. He didn't know much more, but Song Jixing still gleaned some useful information.

Two characters were engraved under the Divine Cauldron - Xuetian.

But Xuetian was not its name. The Divine Cauldron was jet black, had a jade-like texture, and the name passed down in Qingyun Sect was Xuanyu Ding.

Renhe didn't know more than this. The only person who might know more was probably the sect leader.

After hearing this, Song Jixing sank into deep thought for a long time.

It wasn't because she was bothered by why the Black Jade Tripod wasn't called Xuetian Ding.

She was worried - what if the Divine Cauldron's explosion range was very large and even harmed the sect leader? Who could bring them back then?

But why did it only blow her up and assimilate into her bones and blood, without harming her fellow sect members and disciples?

This was what Song Jixing couldn't understand.

Could it be that she was the Black Jade Tripod's destined person, so that as soon as they met it just exploded like a blasting cap?

Song Jixing had never been one to overthink. When she couldn't find the answer, she didn't dwell on it.

She should think about how to earn money to support her fellow sect members!

Song Jixing counted the time and felt the next sect member would appear soon, maybe in the next second, or maybe tomorrow.

If they came early, Elder Renhe still had empty rooms. If they came a little later, in about half a month, the newly rented house would be ready for them to move into.

Those unfamiliar would have thought some skilled master was among the populace. But upon clicking in, it turned out to be entertainment news related to celebrities, from an unreleased variety show.

Comments about hype, buying hot search topics, and creating gimmicks instantly flooded the trending topic.

Seeing this, Song Jixing directly closed it.

Feng Juechen's company would handle things for him, and he could handle it himself. As for discussions online, they didn't amount to much. Her junior disciple was no ordinary person.

With this attitude, Song Jixing worked diligently every day, occasionally chatting with Feng Juechen who also worked late hours when they ran into each other at night.

And seeing him in different magazines and on covers, striking poses as if he had fully blended into this life.

Song Jixing felt even more at ease to focus on earning money.

Before going to Director Zhang's crew for the audition, Song Jixing made sufficient preparations. Under Xu Kai's arrangements, she learned a lot from coaching teachers and memorized all the script lines sent over by the crew.

The role Song Jixing was auditioning for was a villainous supporting female character No. 4.

For a feature film of around two hours, the protagonist's story had to be told clearly and briskly.

The villain Song Jixing was auditioning for was an inn owner auntie who had shown the protagonist, who had just left home, some warmth and care.

With their large age and status differences, they shouldn't have any interactions under normal circumstances.

But the auntie had lent a helping hand when the protagonist was in trouble, allowing him to feel the warmth of humanity, and he had kept her in his heart since.

It was such a heartwarming big sister character, and also one who taught the protagonist morality.

After revealing her identity, she directly fought the protagonist and heavily injured him in an attempt on his life. She was then killed by the protagonist's allies who rushed to the scene, thus exiting the story.

Logically, an actress of Song Jixing's age wouldn't audition for this role.

Apart from requiring solid acting skills, there were also many action scenes depicting the passage of time and vicissitudes of life.

Director Zhang's crew was well known in the industry for not using stunt doubles and relying entirely on the actors themselves training for half a year in advance. After filming, the entire cast would be covered in injuries.

Despite the demanding requirements, many still wanted to sign up for a chance to work with Director Zhang, whose works were mostly top international productions!

Who didn't want to make it big?
