C6 The Origin of the Small Cauldron

The lightning didn't seem to care about what Zhang Xiaoloong was thinking. It was as if thousands of cannons were roaring above Zhang Xiaoloong's head, and the sound of thunder that broke the sky rang out one after another.

If someone was outside right now, they would see rays of lightning gathering on the roof of Zhang Xiaoloong's house.

Zhang Xiaoloong was surprised to find that he had been struck by lightning like a firecracker this time. His heart had gone numb, but he didn't faint like the last time. Although the process was a little painful, it wasn't unbearable.

After the initial nervousness, he realized one more step. When the lightning struck his body, most of it was absorbed by the small black cauldron's shadow in the dense earthen yellow light. It was probably because of this that he didn't suffer too much damage.

The sound of the thunder lasted for a quarter of an hour before it finally stopped. When the thunder stopped, the rain also stopped. Even the dark clouds in the sky quickly disappeared without a trace.

A big hole appeared on Zhang Xiaoloong's roof. Black smoke was still coming out of it, but he did not seem to notice it at all. He was immersed in the huge and complicated information that rushed into his mind.

After another quarter of an hour, Zhang Xiaoloong finally had a clue. At the same time, he was deeply shocked by his own encounter.

Just as he had guessed, the day he went to the county town, he was met with Lei Pi. After that, he fainted for more than a month. It was not only because of the lightning. The small black cauldron that often appeared on Zhang Xiaoloong's chest accompanied the strike of the divine lightning.

This small cauldron had an extraordinary origin. It was a treasure used by the ancient Shennong. The Shennong people chose the right time to plant the five valleys. They had even tasted all sorts of herbs and medicines. Not only was it the God of Agriculture, but it was also the God of Medicine. And this small cauldron was the immortal cauldron that Shennong had used to refine the herbs into medicine.

When Shennong ascended to the heavens, he was worried that the people of the lower realms would not be able to cope with the natural disasters. He sealed all of his knowledge and some of his magical force within the divine cauldron. He secretly left the mortal realm to wait for the fated person to obtain it. However, he didn't know what went wrong during this process. The divine cauldron disappeared for thousands of years in an instant. It was only on that day that he suddenly broke the void and smashed into Zhang Xiaoloong, the fated one.

According to Zhang Xiaoloong's research, the reason why there were so many people here... The Shennong Tripod had only chosen him, probably because of his disposition and intelligence. In other words, Shennong had used his supreme supernatural powers to set all sorts of restrictions so that the Divine Cauldron could only be pure and kind in his heart. At the same time, there were also people with extraordinary intelligence who obtained it.

If one's temperament was not good and the divine cauldron was obtained by an evil person, not only would it not help others free from suffering, it would even use the divine cauldron to do evil. If one's intelligence was insufficient, they would also be unable to inherit everything that Shennong had left behind. In the end, it would still be useless.

Zhang Xiaoloong digested these memories bit by bit. Among them, there were the most things about agriculture and medicine. Apart from that, there was also a cultivation technique that sounded very domineering - Imperial Dragon Spell.

"Xiaoloong, are you alright?"

At this time, there was a hurried knocking sound from outside. Zhang Xiaoloong finally recovered from his trance. He looked at his body again and quickly packed up.

Zhang Daniu and his wife were so anxious outside that they almost knocked on the door.

When the thunder that sounded like a crack in the sky sounded, they were also shocked. But they only thought that the weather was strange until the rain stopped. When they went out, they saw that the roof of their house had been struck by the thunder until smoke was coming out, and only then did they start to worry.

It was fine if the house was gone, but his son was still in his room.

Just as Zhang Daniu made up his mind to smash open the door with all his strength, the door opened from the inside with a creak.

Zhang Xiaoloong rubbed his eyes and walked out of the room in a daze. He yawned and said, "What's wrong, Dad? I just fell asleep. Why did you wake me up?"

"Sleep?" Zhang Daniu and his wife were a little stunned. The thunder just now was like a cannon. How could he still fall asleep?

"The lightning has caused smoke to rise from the house. We are afraid that you will be injured inside." Liu Mei quickly said.

"Ah?" Zhang Xiaoloong turned around and pretended to be shocked, "It's really Pi. Luckily I was sleeping. Otherwise, it might have hit me again. This lightning wasn't attracted by me, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense. As long as he's fine." Zhang Daniu reprimanded, "Remember, the roof of our house is already broken. It wasn't struck by lightning."

There was a rumor in the village that Zhang Xiaoloong had been possessed by a demon. Now that he had just calmed down for a few days, if the news of the roof being occupied by Lei Pi were to spread out, who knows what would happen.

Thinking about this, Zhang Daniu hurriedly found something to fill up the hole in the roof and then covered it with a raincoat. On one hand, it was to prevent the rain from falling again. On the other hand, it could also prevent people from seeing the traces of the Pi.

He did not expect that his roof would really be covered. After a short while, the rain started again, and it lasted for three days and three nights.

This time, Zhang Daniu did not worry about the house anymore. Instead, he thought about the crops in the field. Every day, he came back from the field and sighed.

"Dad, what's wrong with you? The crops in the fields can't run away. If it rains a little, it will rain a little. When it is planting wheat again, it will save water." Zhang Xiaoloong saw that his father was so worried and consoled him.

"What do you know?" It would have been fine if he didn't say it, but Zhang Daniu was even more worried when he said it. "Our family's corn has been collected late. It has been raining for three days. Even if the rain stopped, the ground would be a quagmire. We can't even put our feet in. When we can collect it... I'm afraid the corn will grow sprouts on the plant. "

Zhang Xiaoloong immediately understood when he heard that. Because of the matter of his coma a few days ago... The family had been busy all this time. Even the corn in the field had reached the time of harvesting. He didn't even have time to collect it back. When it rained, it was a good thing for other people's homes. It saved them the effort of watering the field. But it was troublesome for his own family.

According to his father, if the corn on the ground really did germinate, then the harvest this season would be wasted.

"Don't worry, I'll go and take a look." Zhang Xiaoloong said and took an umbrella out.

"It's raining so heavily. What are you going to look at? It's already flooded. What else can you do?" Zhang Daniu was worried about his son's health and shouted to stop him.

"It's fine. Wait for me at home. I'll be back soon. Nothing will happen." Zhang Xiaoloong didn't even turn his head. He ran out in big strides.

Zhang Xiaoloong's body did not show any abnormalities in the past two days. He also understood what had happened before.

The Shennong Tripod was a divine object, although it had chosen him as its master. Furthermore, the fusion process required a sufficient amount of energy. Therefore, he waited until a few days ago, when he had absorbed enough lightning energy. Only then could he be considered to have barely succeeded in the fusion.

After this integration, Zhang Xiaoloong discovered many miraculous things. There was a strange Qi in the small cauldron that kept warming his body. In these two days, his skin had become much more delicate, and there was even a faint luster that was as warm as jade.

Especially after cultivating the Imperial Dragon Spell, his entire disposition changed along with it. In the past, he was extremely simple, but now, there was even more ethereal immortal energy in his simplicity.

The current him, not to mention a little drizzle, even if he was frozen in ice for two hours, he wouldn't fall sick.

Not long after, Zhang Xiaoloong had already arrived at the destination. The land of the other families on both sides had already become empty, and they were waiting for the rain to stop. In a few days, they would be able to sow the seeds.

As for his own corn field, it was all alone in the rain. Zhang Xiaoloong tried it and found that the ground was as soft as mud. He couldn't pull it out even if he stepped on it.

Looking at this, even if the rain stopped right now, it seemed like it would stop immediately. It would take at least two or three days to break the corn field. With such a delay, the already ripe and dried corn was wrapped in the corn skin and kept bubbling. Even if it didn't grow sprouts, it would probably become moldy.

Zhang Xiaoloong squatted down and touched the muddy ground, thinking that it would be great if he could absorb a portion of the water from the ground.
