Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Chapter 111 What kind of bad intentions could someone have who would willingly give up even a divine

It's fake, but it's so obviously fake!

Lu Yunqi nodded in agreement. "And that Wang Er, his sword aura felt familiar to me before, like I'd seen it somewhere before. Who exactly is he?"

Jing Shu flipped the roast chicken over, showing no embarrassment at being caught out. "Do you want some?"

"Yes!" Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi said in unison.

"Go catch it yourself."

"Alright!" Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi stood up instantly and disappeared from the spot.

Although they wanted to know Jing Shu and the others' true identities, filling their stomachs was the most important thing right now, as they had been eating dry rations for several days.

When Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi returned, the three of them had already started eating. The wild game that Shi Chuan caught was only enough for the three of them.

Lu Yunqi and his companion were very helpful in cleaning up the pheasants they had caught before handing them to Jing Shu.

"Let's get to know each other again. My name is Jing Shu, formerly... Wang Er."

Jing Shu glanced at Jing Ran, and Jing Ran looked at him with a puzzled expression. Why was he looking at him?

“It is my master, Han Luo.”

Jing Ran: "......"

Shi Chuan: "Pfft—"

"What?!" Ji Chen and Lu Yunqi exclaimed in surprise.

"You are Jing Shu?! And that is Immortal Venerable Han Luo?!" Ji Chen realized that the two were not simple people, but he never associated them with Immortal Venerable Han Luo and his disciple.

Besides, how old is Jing Shu five years ago?! He's probably only twelve! His cultivation level and physical condition don't match up!

"Oh! I see, you all took shape-changing pills or used disguise techniques back then, didn't you?" Ji Chen suddenly realized.

Lu Yunqi also realized that he had gone to the Cloud Burial Sect with his master when he was young and had seen Immortal Venerable Hanluo use a sword. No wonder it felt familiar.

"Hmm." Jing Shu gave a faint "hmm," which was considered confirmation of Ji Chen's guess.

Ji Chen didn't dwell on Jing Shu using a false name. If they used their real identities, finding things in the Yao Guang Secret Realm would definitely be much more difficult. Besides, that was Immortal Venerable Han Luo; how could he be dissatisfied? Of course not.

"And who are these two?" Ji Chen asked, glancing at Shi Chuan and Jing Ran, who were quietly eating.

Upon hearing this, Shi Chuan raised his head. "Shi Chuan."

"Jingran," Jingran followed up.

Ji Chen nodded. "My name is Ji Chen, and this is Lu Yunqi."

Ji Chen knew Shi Chuan, the eldest disciple of Han Luo Immortal Venerable and Jing Shu's senior brother. As for Jing Ran, he was probably a friend or something.

"Then why are you here? The sect competition is about to begin. Don't you need to go back to your sect to prepare?" Jing Shu asked.

"Hey, Brother Jing, you guys didn't go either, did you?" Ji Chen winked and said, "Maybe we have the same goal as you!"

Jing Shu ignored Ji Chen's teasing and simply shook the roast chicken in his hand, and Ji Chen quieted down.

"I'll tell you, I've received news that the new artifact that suddenly appeared two years ago is still in the Kunlun Mountains!"

Jing Shu showed no surprise, focusing on the roasted chicken in his hands. "Did the Azure Light Cauldron tell you that?"

"!!!" Ji Chen's eyes widened. "How did you know the Azure Light Cauldron was in my hands?!"

Lu Yunqi's gaze, which had been fixed on the roast chicken, immediately shifted to Jing Shu.

“Xu Yaoguang, I met her before you did,” Jing Shu said without hiding anything.

When Ji Chen emerged from the bushes, Jing Shu saw the golden spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from him and instantly understood who had acquired the Azure Light Cauldron back then.

As for Qingguang Ding knowing that there are divine artifacts in the Kunlun Mountains, divine artifacts should be able to sense each other.

At this moment, the Azure Light Cauldron flew out from Ji Chen's body and flew to Jing Shu's side. "It's you, Master Yao Guang's fellow villager!"

After several years of recuperation, the Azure Light Cauldron can finally speak again. In the Yao Guang Secret Realm, it used its own body to nourish Xu Yao Guang's remnant soul for a long time, which caused its own body to become somewhat weak, but it is now fine.

"So you two know each other! Brother Jing, you and Sister Meiren are actually from the same hometown!"

With this connection, Ji Chen was no longer worried about what Jing Shu would do if he found out the artifact was in his hands.

He had heard from the Azure Light Cauldron that the beautiful sister originally wanted to pass it on to her fellow villager, but that person refused, saying that the Azure Light Cauldron should be passed on to someone who liked alchemy, which led to Ji Chen's contract with it.

What bad intentions could someone have who would willingly give up even a divine artifact?

“Xiaoqing did tell me that there is the aura of a divine artifact in the Kunlun Mountains, but we have been searching for many days and still can’t find it. Xiaoqing can only sense this place, but she doesn’t know the exact location.”

“I already have a divine weapon. I’m here to help Yunqi search for one. He hasn’t found a sword that suits him yet.”

Ji Chen finished explaining everything in one go, and then asked Jing Shu, "You also came here because of the divine artifact, right?"

Jing Shu gently tapped the azure cauldron. "Yes."

"That's great! Let's search together. Once we find it, we'll decide which artifact to choose based on our abilities," Ji Chen said excitedly.

Jing Shu is smarter than all of them. He was the one who discovered the Yao Guang Tomb in the Yao Guang Secret Realm. Maybe Jing Shu can really find it.

"No, you should leave."

Unexpectedly, Jing Shu refused Ji Chen's offer to join his team and told them to leave.

"Why? Teaming up increases the chances of finding it, isn't that good?" Lu Yunqi asked, puzzled.

They left the final say on the choice of the artifact to the artifact itself, which is fair.

“It’s not that we’re not going to form a team; this departure means you’re leaving the Kunlun Mountains,” Jing Shu explained.

"It's true that the artifact is still in the Kunlun Mountains, but it's not a good thing; it's very dangerous. We might destroy it after we find it."

As Jing Shu spoke, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

"For your safety, leave the Kunlun Mountains."

Shi Chuan nodded in agreement. "Junior Brother didn't lie to you. This divine artifact is not suitable for use as a sword."

"Not a good thing?" Ji Chen didn't quite understand. How could a divine artifact not be a good thing?

The specific details were not described further; the advice given was simply, "If you don't intend to leave, please do as you please."

“We don’t distrust you,” Ji Chen quickly explained, exchanging a glance with Lu Yunqi to confirm that the other’s thoughts were the same as his, before chuckling as he spoke.

"There's an old saying that goes, 'Since we're already here, it's no fun going back without doing anything.' We'll go with you."

"Destroying a divine artifact? We've never done that before, let's give it a try!" Lu Yunqi said earnestly. Even if they didn't get the artifact, participating in the process of destroying it would be quite interesting!

The Azure Cauldron was also very curious. Jing Shu said that this divine artifact was not a good thing, but the intelligence that a divine artifact possesses is pure and ignorant before it finds a master. Only after it has a master will it develop its own personality.

But why would Jing Shu say that this artifact is a bad thing?
