Reborn Divine Doctor: The Abandoned Girl's Legend-Chapter 932 - 801: Little Cauldron Spirit
Midway up Six-finger Mountain, there is a deep earth well.
At the earth well, a faint firefly-like glow flickers.
Ye Lingyue, along with Little Zhiyo and others, found the earth well.
She made a gesture, signaling everyone to remain silent. With a movement of her Divine Sense, her spiritual power extended downward along the earth well.
The earth well seemed to be artificially excavated, stretching several hundred feet downward. There was a strong energy fluctuation below, which must be the ore site Ba Qian mentioned earlier.
Ye Lingyue made a gesture, walked in front, while Little Zhiyo, Little Wuya, and Ba Qian brought up the rear.
The walls of the earth well were very smooth, and Ye Lingyue slid down effortlessly.
Once inside, Ye Lingyue was captivated by the scenery within the earth well.
Below the earth well lay numerous unknown crystal stones. They appeared like ice from the outside, yet were not cold to the touch.
They were unlike any type of ore found on the mainland.
Just as Ye Lingyue was studying the nature of this ore, Little Zhiyo started to get restless.
"Zhiyo~ (Brother Dahuang)" As soon as Little Zhiyo descended to the entrance of the well, he saw Dahuang unconscious not far away and excitedly dashed towards him.
Inside the earth well, there were a dozen or so Three-legged Birdmen.
They looked somewhat haggard, but none appeared injured.
Ba Qian hurriedly stepped forward, but just as she took a step, Ye Lingyue’s brow twitched.
"Be careful!"
The Female Sword Nine Dragon Chant in her hand let out a long cry, clanging as it shot toward the sudden black shadow.
A dull sound was heard, and Ye Lingyue’s Nine Dragon Chant was swept away, embedding itself into the ground.
A black shadow retreated at an incredibly fast speed.
The extremely sharp Nine Dragon Chant hadn’t harmed it, and judging by the speed, it was even faster than Little Zhiyo had been.
"Boss, Dahuang woke up. It said this creature was the one that kidnapped them." Little Zhiyo swiftly underwent Blood Transformation, glaring at the black shadow with Dahuang in solidarity.
No wonder earlier, neither Dahuang nor the other Three-legged Birdmen were able to see the true face of the black shadow.
It was because the shape of the black shadow closely resembled a pitch-black cloud, foggy and indistinct, making it difficult to discern its true form.
"Don’t take away my playmates." At this moment, the black shadow suddenly spoke.
To the astonishment of Ye Lingyue and the others, the black shadow’s voice was very childish, much like that of a child.
A playmate?
Could it be that it captured these Birdmen and Dahuang just because it wanted a playmate?
Ye Lingyue and Ba Qian both turned to look at the captured Three-legged Birdmen.
A group of Birdmen stood in a row, nodding in unison.
"Little one, who exactly are you? Why are you in Hong Meng Heaven?"
Ye Lingyue was now certain that this little creature only captured people out of loneliness and bore no malice.
The black shadow hesitated, giving Little Zhiyo the chance to pounce.
"Zhiyo~ (Caught you, let’s see where you can run, dares to crash into me, Zhiyo)"
Little Zhiyo, being quite vengeful for earlier bullying by the mysterious black shadow, pounced, clawed, and bit, calling even some small companions to join in.
"That’s enough, Little Zhiyo." Watching this gave Ye Lingyue a headache, and it took quite an effort to persuade the little beasts to relent.
After such a ruckus, the mist around the black shadow dissipated.
The true form of the black shadow was revealed.
Everyone, including Ye Lingyue, was astonished.
Before now, everyone assumed that the black shadow was some unknown creature of Hong Meng Heaven’s living spirit.
After all, it’s not unusual for the spiritually rich Hong Meng Heaven to breed some spirits or ghosts.
But in fact, the true form of the black shadow turned out to be... a cauldron.
A palm-sized cauldron, dusty looking, akin to those incense burner cauldrons found in ordinary ancestral halls.
And this cauldron, the more Ye Lingyue looked at it, the more familiar it seemed.
Upon closer reflection, she suddenly realized this was the same cauldron she discovered years ago in the Ye Family ancestral hall.
The three cauldron ears, the round cauldron belly, were exactly like the Qian Cauldron Seal on her right palm, an identical twin.
Ye Lingyue quickly glanced at her Qian Cauldron Seal and indeed, they were identical, even down to the patterns.
Ye Lingyue swallowed, about to speak.
But suddenly, the little cauldron trembled, swooshed to Ye Lingyue’s face, and started sobbing.
"Master, I finally found you. I am your Cauldron Spirit."
The little cauldron cried its heart out, and Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya were petrified.
Ye Lingyue now understood that this muddy, lost child-like creature was actually her Cauldron Spirit?
When did her Qian Cauldron gain a Cauldron Spirit, and how did she not know?
But on second thought, Ye Lingyue had indeed learned about the cultivation of Artifact Spirits back then. However, after learning, she had never cultivated a genuine Cauldron Spirit.
She got busy and forgot all about it.
Who knew, despite her original intention, unintentionally the Cauldron Spirit had managed to self-develop and come into existence by itself.
According to the Cauldron Spirit itself, it had gained spiritual awareness while in a muddled state. As for how it ended up in Hong Meng Heaven, that was easy to explain.
The Hong Meng Heaven was originally Interior Cauldron Heaven, born with Qian Cauldron, and the Cauldron Spirit’s birthplace was in Six-finger Mountain.
After its birth, with no awareness, it got lost and didn’t know how to find its master.
It stayed in Hong Meng Heaven for a few days, feeling bored. Coincidentally, it encountered Batu and others, who brought a group of Birdmen into the mountains in search of ore.
It wanted playmates but feared scaring the Birdmen, so it mysteriously abducted them.
Thus, the truth came to light. Although the truth seemed absurdly comical.
Thankfully, the misunderstanding was finally resolved. The captured Three-legged Birdmen were released without any actual harm done, and the Cauldron Spirit was overjoyed to have found Ye Lingyue.
Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya were a bit embarrassed, but fortunately, the Cauldron Spirit was not one to hold grudges, and they soon reconciled.
Ye Lingyue then led the group of Three-legged Birdmen, along with some ore mined from the cave, back to the Birdmen’s gathering area.
Although the Cauldron Spirit was born in the earth well mine, even it did not recognize the ore in the cave.
It only knew that whenever it got hungry, it would consume the ore.
"You get hungry too?" Ye Lingyue suddenly realized an issue: the Cauldron Spirit, unlike the Qian Cauldron, had gained life, could age and die, grow and feel hunger. How to properly nurture it was still a question.
