I Can See Through Everything

Chapter 144

"Observing treasures?"

Old Doctor Chen was very surprised, not expecting Wei Shanhai to extend such an invitation.

"Indeed, the treasure I obtained contains a special essence that can cleanse the mind and has a miraculous effect on enlightening the spirit. It is greatly beneficial for martial artists' cultivation.

Especially for Precelestial martial artists, the first observation is extremely effective and may be of some help to you in your future cultivation."

Wei Shanhai explained.

"But this is after all a treasure of your Wei family. As an outsider, it seems inappropriate for an old man like me."

Old Doctor Chen wasn't particularly interested in treasures. He helped the Wei family out of sincerity, not for any gain.

"This is not true. Doctor Chen's kindness to our Wei family is like rebirth. Our Wei family has no precious items to repay you, only this treasure's unique essence to express a little gratitude."

Wei Shanhai said earnestly.

Finally, under Wei Shanhai's sincere invitation, Old Doctor Chen agreed to his request and decided to observe the treasure after the banquet to see its mysterious nature.

However, he had one condition: he wanted to bring Lu Qing and Mago along.

Wei Shanhai had no objection to this.

He already knew that it was thanks to Lu Qing and Mago that Mrs. Wei and her son could return safely.

After the banquet, Old Doctor Chen and the others rested for a while and then followed Wei Shanhai to the back courtyard.

They finally arrived at a tall tower in the center of the Wei Mansion.

"Doctor Chen, please."

Inside the tower, Wei Shanhai opened a hidden door, and a dry breath wafted out.

"Your mansion's treasure is stored underground?"

Old Doctor Chen looked at the stairs extending underground from the hidden door and asked curiously.

As for Lu Qing, he secretly remained alert, activating his ability to look towards the hidden door.

He saw a rich red light emanating from the hidden door.

[Hidden Door: A portal leading to a peculiar underground place.]

[There is a different world behind the door, seemingly hiding a treasure.]

[Contains guarding mechanisms but currently inactive.]

Seeing the information on the hidden door, Lu Qing relaxed a bit.

This was indeed the place where the Wei family stored treasures, and Wei Shanhai was not deceiving them.

As for the mechanisms, that was understandable. How could a place storing important treasures not be guarded?

Of course, Lu Qing did not completely relax his guard.

It wasn't that he was suspicious, but a necessary precaution was always advisable.

After the hidden door opened, Wei Shanhai led the way inside.

He seemed aware that inviting others into such a passage could easily arouse suspicion.

So he walked at the forefront, allowing Wei Xinghe and Lu Qing to walk together, indicating that the Wei family had no harmful intentions.

After all, with Old Doctor Chen's strength, if anything unexpected happened, capturing Wei Xinghe would be a matter of a moment.

The group walked down the passage, illuminated by oil lamps, so it wasn't dark.

As they walked, Lu Qing's expression changed slightly.

He noticed the passage becoming hotter, and the elemental energy in the air grew denser.

Though he had cultivated soul power, his Qi apertures were not open, and he couldn't distinguish the type of elemental energy present.

Old Doctor Chen praised, "Such dense fire elemental energy! I didn't expect there to be such a place under this county. Your mansion truly has deep foundations."

He now understood why Wei Shanhai practiced fire elemental true energy.

With such a place rich in fire elemental energy, cultivating fire elemental techniques would be twice as effective.

"To be honest, this place wasn't built by our Wei family. It was a peculiar place discovered by our ancestors, existing for an unknown number of years. We are just benefiting from their legacy." Wei Shanhai said humbly.

As they chatted, they suddenly saw that the stairs no longer descended but became flat. After walking a few more steps, it opened up into a wide room.

A spacious cave appeared before them.

The cave walls were light red, looking like a mix of stone and jade, with strange runes engraved on them.

In the center of the cave was a stone platform with a half-human tall, giant light-red cauldron, emitting wisps of strange aura.

Such a wondrous scene left Old Doctor Chen and the others in a daze.

Especially Mago, who had never seen such a sight, stood with his mouth agape.

Only Lu Qing, looking at the familiar layout of the cave, felt a shock in his heart.

He recognized the runes on the cave walls at a glance.

They were runes forming an array related to the fire element.

And the array formation method was very familiar to him.

Could this cave be related to the Divine Rune Sect?

A thought flashed through Lu Qing's mind.

"Old Wei, is this cauldron..."

Seeing the scene before him, Old Doctor Chen asked.

"Indeed, this light-red cauldron is one of the treasures Wang Cangyi and I discovered in a miraculous place years ago, the most precious among them all." Wei Shanhai nodded, "Wang Cangyi went to great lengths just to obtain it."

"But this cauldron looks extraordinary. How did Wang Cangyi allow you to take it away?" Mago asked, puzzled.

Lu Qing was equally confused.

Moreover, the cauldron was so large and looked extremely heavy, weighing at least ten thousand pounds. How did Wei Shanhai bring it back?

Along the way, there would be countless people coveting it.

"It's a strange story. When Wang Cangyi and I discovered it, the cauldron was only the size of a thumb, rusty and insignificant.

We both thought it was just a trinket. Otherwise, with Wang Cangyi's stingy nature, how could he have let me take it?"

"Thumb-sized?"

Mago exclaimed in disbelief.

He looked at the giant cauldron on the stone platform, unable to imagine its original form.

Even Lu Qing and Old Doctor Chen were surprised.

"It's hard to believe, but it's true. After I obtained the cauldron, I traveled with it for many years, and it never showed any unusual traits.

It wasn't until I returned to the Wei Mansion, reached a bottleneck in my cultivation, and started training in this ancestral underground chamber, coming into contact with the pure fire elemental energy here, that it began to reveal its mysteries.

I discovered its extraordinariness, placed it on the stone platform, and watched it grow year by year.

From the size of a thumb to a fist, then as large as a sea bowl, a water jar, and now, nearly a century later, it has become what you see."

"A growing giant cauldron?"

Mago's mouth dropped open again.

What Wei Shanhai said was beyond his understanding, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Lu Qing was equally shocked. He activated his ability silently, focusing on the red giant cauldron.
