Checking in for 100,000 Years-Chapter 848: Kid, You’re Too Naive!

"Emperor Heimang, is this Dragon-subduing Cauldron a treasure you once used?"

Emperor Heimang suddenly heard Ye Yun’s voice beside his ear.

"Yes, sir.

This Dragon-subduing Cauldron was a treasure I acquired at Thousand Desolate Ridge. Back then, after failing to break through to True God, I left it to the sect."

Emperor Heimang replied truthfully via transmission.

"Thousand Desolate Ridge, isn’t it one of the Four Deadliest Places?"

Ye Yun’s eyes flashed as he asked again.

"Indeed! I once ventured into Thousand Desolate Ridge, where I chanced upon the Dragon-subduing Cauldron."

Emperor Heimang spoke.

"Hmm..."

Ye Yun nodded, a thoughtful expression flickering across his face.

Thousand Desolate Ridge, known as one of the Four Deadliest Places, is extremely perilous, more dangerous even than the Seven Forbidden Lands; once entered, there is no return.

Any cultivator who enters the area of Thousand Desolate Ridge will experience rapid decline of their vital energy and blood, and the deeper they go, the faster the decline.

Eventually, their flesh dries up, mana is exhausted, and they die, losing their lives at Thousand Desolate Ridge.

But there are a few strong ones who, if lucky, might allow their Primordial Spirit to escape.

The Four Deadliest Places have a long history, their notorious reputation widely spread across Cangnan Continent, so subsequent cultivators know well to avoid these deadly sites.

Over time, the Four Deadliest Places have slowly become legendary places of doom.

Most people on Cangnan Continent do not know the locations of the Four Deadliest Places.

Even ten thousand years ago, Ye Yun, as the Sect Master of Dragon God Sect, did not know the specific locations of the Four Deadliest Places.

He had not explored them.

After all, Ye Yun had only lived for twenty-four years then, focused on cultivation early on, and after taking on the role of Sect Master at eighteen, took on the responsibility of managing the sect.

Of course,

Ye Yun spent a significant amount of time with beautiful companions.

So Ye Yun was very busy in his past life.

Truly busy.

"Emperor Heimang, seeing your former treasure, do you feel like reclaiming it?"

Ye Yun thought of something and asked with great interest.

"Sir, I do have such thoughts! After all, it was a treasure I once used, and it’s a relic of the Black Divine Sect. I also wish to return the Dragon-subduing Cauldron to its rightful owner!"

Emperor Heimang said straightforwardly.

Seeing his inner suspicion confirmed, Ye Yun could only smile helplessly.

The Dragon-subduing Cauldron has now fallen into the hands of a disciple of Dragon God Sect, even if it returns to Emperor Heimang, it still hasn’t left Dragon God Sect.

It’s akin to passing it from the left hand to the right.

Given that, why not fulfill this little girl surnamed Gu?

Thinking about this, Ye Yun spoke, "Since this Dragon-subduing Cauldron has left you, don’t reclaim it, later I’ll gift you something else for protection!"

"Oh..."

Emperor Heimang was stunned.

Ye Yun’s words left him momentarily at a loss for understanding.

Just then,

The white-robed beautiful girl looked at Ye Yun impatiently and asked, "Master, could you try to restore it?"

"Naturally, I can."

Ye Yun nodded.

The white-robed beautiful girl delightedly floated over like a wind, holding up the golden Dragon-subduing Cauldron and handed it over.

Ye Yun took the Dragon-subduing Cauldron and tossed it into the Bronze Treasure Box.

The white-robed beautiful girl showed a look of surprise, "Master, you’re using this Bronze Treasure Box to restore the Dragon-subduing Cauldron?"

"Yes, I’ve always used this box to repair treasures..."

Ye Yun shrugged with a smile.

The white-robed beautiful girl was within less than a yard’s distance—face to face—the familiar feeling growing more intense, making it ever clearer to Ye Yun that this little girl must be Gu Anran.

The white-robed beautiful girl was overjoyed, immediately taking out a large Original Stone, placing it on the ground, cheerfully saying, "Master, if you succeed in restoring it, this Original Stone will be yours!"

"Alright!"

Ye Yun agreed straightforwardly.

This Original Stone, compared to the one acquired by the Big Black Cat, was still smaller in volume.

He had no use for this Original Stone.

The reason Ye Yun participated in the artifact refining competition was naturally to meet the disciples of the former Dragon God Sect.

"Master Ouyang, isn’t that guy ridiculous?

Just using that box to restore an Emperor-level treasure to God-level? I don’t believe it!"

A few elderly men suddenly appeared next to Master Ouyang, all of them respected refining masters, and in terms of reputation, only slightly inferior to Master Ouyang.

The one speaking was a white-haired old man in a blue robe.

"I also don’t believe it! If it’s restoring a Heavenly tier treasure back to Emperor-level, it still makes sense—if it’s to restore an Emperor artifact to a Divine Artifact, that’s absolutely impossible!"

Master Ouyang said decisively.

"Master Ouyang speaks the truth, I think that young man will surely fail and leave in disgrace..."

Another black-faced old man sneered.

"Haha..." The remaining few elders also laughed along.

Their voices weren’t loud but still spread across the platform, resonating with all the refining masters present.

"To restore from lower Emperor-grade back to middle-grade God level, the time for this repair might take a bit longer..." After seven or eight breaths, Ye Yun spoke softly while looking at the Bronze Treasure Box.

"No matter, even if it takes a year, ten years, or a hundred years, as long as it can be restored to middle-grade divine, I’m willing to wait!"

The white-robed beautiful girl’s eyes were bright, her face resolute.

"A year? Haha, why would it take that long? You underestimate it!"

Pointing to the Bronze Treasure Box, Ye Yun couldn’t help but laugh.

The white-robed beautiful girl looked embarrassed, staring at Ye Yun with disbelief.

Is this guy bragging?

Could it be completely restored in less than a year?

Sounds like a fairy tale.

"Master, if you say it won’t take a year, then what’s the estimated time?"

The sect master of Yao Lingling’s eyes flickered.

"About one incense stick."

Ye Yun thought for a moment and said.

"What! Only one incense stick?"

The white-robed beautiful girl’s expression changed drastically upon hearing this, almost going berserk.

Restoring a lower Emperor-grade treasure to middle-grade divine in one incense stick’s time, how is this possible?

"Ha-ha! He’s truly a master, able to restore it in one incense stick’s time, I’m truly impressed!"

Master Ouyang stood in the distance, clasping his hands and laughing heartily.

"Haha!"

The few elderly men beside him laughed along.

"Hahaha..."

All the refining masters on the platform laughed uproariously.

"Master Ouyang, mere admiration is useless! If it’s restored within one incense stick, won’t you express something more?"

Ye Yun chuckled.

"If you can restore this Dragon-subduing Cauldron to middle-grade divine within one incense stick, then I’ll eat shit upside down!"

Master Ouyang laughed, his expression exaggerated.

"If it’s successfully restored, I’ll eat shit upside down too! No regrets!"

Several elderly men around quickly joined Master Ouyang’s rhythm.

"Us too, if he can restore it to middle-grade divine within one incense stick, we’ll eat shit upside down!"

All the refining masters on the platform shouted excitedly.

Their voices roared like a tsunami, earth-shattering.

"Alright, you said it yourselves, if you don’t eat shit, don’t blame me for being rude!"

Ye Yun laughed heartily.

"A gentleman’s word, a team of horses can’t chase it!"

Master Ouyang patted his chest, laughing heartily, "Lad, you’re too naive! You’re bound to lose this match!"
