Suddenly, a golden light appeared and blocked Mao Wenjie's touch. Mao Wenjie quickly withdrew his hand, and a voice from the void said: Shen Nong Tripod was created by Shen Nong, this sacred object can only be touched by those destined by heaven.
originally, Shen Nong Tripod was kept in the palace of the Yan Emperor, but as time went on, after the Yan Emperor's death, Shen Nong Tripod was long hidden in the mountains. During the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, there was a Northern tribe leader named Tuo who heard that Shen Nong, the creator of Shen Nong, had hidden Shen Nong Tripod and could brew divine medicine. In pursuit of immortality, he went to steal it. After numerous investigations, he found that the tomb of Shen Nong was very deep and had dozens of steps and countless traps. There were also countless poisonous insects and snakes in the tomb chamber. There were heavy guards at the entrance to the tomb. Once entered, it would be certain death.
However, this group was not afraid of danger, even risking their lives and braving difficulties. One of them disguised himself as a servant and led his subordinates to carry a large amount of tools, fine sand and firewood, and began to secretly prepare to dig up Shen Nong's tomb. They spent years overcoming all obstacles, finally digging up a large amount of treasures, many valuable books and cultural relics, as well as precious jewels and jade items.
However, Shen Nong Tripod was never found. That person gradually became anxious. He was afraid of not finding Shen Nong Tripod, even if he found it, he might not be able to escape. So he walked along the corridors and abandoned mounds, escaped from the tomb but finally found many treasures with patterns of Shen Nong Tripod on them. It could be seen that Shen Nong Tripod was a magical treasure. Many people had longed for it day and night but could not find a way to obtain it.
It is rumored that the Shen Nong Tripod is not an ordinary item but a true divine artifact. Its extraordinary efficacy far surpasses that of other objects, bringing endless wonders to humanity. However, due to the unique power within the tripod, it has been pursued by many, and many people have gone to great lengths to find its whereabouts.
Hei Long and Huang Ling'er, Jiang Yu Rou, Qin Xiao Die, and the others looked at Mo Wenjie with great urgency. Such a divine object indeed requires someone with great fortune to be recognized. Can Mo Wenjie be recognized?
At the moment when everyone was eagerly waiting, Shen Nong Tripod suddenly emitted a gentle beam of light and slowly flew above Mo Wenjie's head. The light gradually enveloped Mo Wenjie's whole body, as if it was conducting some kind of investigation or purification on him.
Mo Wenjie closed his eyes tightly, his mind calm, feeling a warm and mysterious force surge into his body. Suddenly, the tripod body trembled violently, the light grew brighter, and everyone thought something had gone wrong, their fists clenched with tension.
But at the next moment, the light faded, and the Shen Nong Tripod landed steadily in Mo Wenjie's hand. Mo Wenjie opened his eyes, his face radiating with a surprised and delighted smile.
"Seems that you have obtained the recognition of Shen Nong Tripod." Hei Long sighed and said.
Huang Ling'er curiously leaned forward, "Quickly tell us, what was the feeling when you were recognized?"
Mo Wenjie scratched his head: "I saw the scene where Shen Nong used the tripod to refine pills and help the people. Then I had a very warm feeling, as if it had been waiting for me all along."
Jiang Yu Rou smiled, "Since that's the case, then we'll be able to do more with the power of the Shen Nong Tripod." Everyone nodded in agreement, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Mo Wenjie looked at the Shen Nong Tripod in his hand, feeling overwhelmed with emotions. Such a divine artifact had recognized him as its master. Was he really the son of destiny?
At this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, thick clouds gathered and distant thunder rolled. Everyone became alert. Hei Long said in a deep voice: "It's likely that the just acquired Shen Nong Tripod will bring us trouble." Mo Wenjie held the Shen Nong Tripod tightly, his eyes resolute: "No matter who tries to take it away, they will step on my corpse first."
A group of black-clad people flew in from a distance. The leader laughed and said, "Youngling, hand over the Shen Nong Tripod or it will be your death today." Mo Wenjie sneered: "Why should I? The tripod has recognized me as its master. You can't take it away." Saying this, Mo Wenjie circulated his inner spiritual energy and infused it into the Shen Nong Tripod. The tripod trembled slightly and emitted a faint aura that protected everyone around them.
The black-clad people saw this and began attacking with their weapons. Mo Wenjie shouted: "Everyone, be careful!" and charged at the enemy. In the fight, Mo Wenjie discovered that Shen Nong Tripod could automatically absorb qi from the heavens and earth to replenish his spiritual energy. He grew bolder with each passing blow.
Hei Long and the others did not back down, fighting in a coordinated manner. After a fierce battle, the black-clad men began to lose ground. The leader, seeing that things were not going well, dropped a threatening remark and then fled with his men in a hurry. Mo Wenjie heaved a great sigh of relief, and the crowd cheered up, filled with hope for the future.
Xiao Ya Wen looked at the Shen Nong Tripod and said to Mo Wenjie, "I heard that Shen Nong Tripod also has the function of refining pills. I don't know if this legend is true or not."
Tuo Yingying giggled and said: What's the point of doubt? Shen Nong Tripod is in your husband's hands, and you are a pill refiner. Whether Shen Nong Tripod has the function of refining pills or not, let your husband try and see for himself.
Hearing this, Mo Wenjie's eyes lit up, "Yingying is right. I'll give it a try now." With that, he began to look for suitable herbs. The others, upon hearing this, also got excited and helped collect the ingredients. In no time, all the necessary herbs were prepared.
Mo Wenjie placed the Shen Nong Tripod in front of him, formed the hand seal, and muttered incantations. Then he put the herbs into the tripod. As soon as he did so, the Shen Nong Tripod emitted a bright light around it, and strange fluctuations could be heard from within. Mo Wenjie focused his mind on controlling the fire and infusing spiritual energy.
After a short while, a strange fragrance wafted through the air, and the tripod lid flew open automatically. Several round and full, glowing with spiritual light pills floated in the air. Everyone was amazed. Mo Wenjie had successfully refined pills, not only proving the function of Shen Nong Tripod in refining pills, but also demonstrating that its quality far exceeded that of ordinary pill furnaces.
Mo Wenjie took a pill and swallowed it immediately feeling his own spiritual energy becoming purer and more profound. Overjoyed, he handed out some pills to the others. Hei Long took a pill, respecting him and said, "Brother, with this treasure in your hands, you're bound to become a grandmaster-level pill refiner in the future." Mo Wenjie laughed, "But I still need everyone's help to protect this treasure." The group of them looked at each other and laughed heartily.
Jiang Yu Rou looked at Mo Wenjie and said to Hei Long, "Brother, you don't know it yet? My husband is now an extremely skilled pill refiner. He is the president of the Cloud City Pill Association!"
Huang Ling'er giggled and said: The president of the Cloud City Pill Association is nothing. My grandpa has already appointed him as the president of the One Heavens Pill Association!
Upon hearing Huang Ling'er's words, everyone showed expressions of surprise.
Mo Wenjie was even more shocked, "The president of the One Heavens Pill Association? This responsibility is too great for me. I fear I can't handle it."
Huang Ling'er waved her hand and said, "Mo Brother need not worry. Grandpa chose you for a reason, seeing your potential. With Shen Nong Tripod's help now, you're bound to take the One Heavens Pill Association to greater heights."
After pondering for a moment, Mo Wenjie slowly nodded, "Thank you for your kindness. I will give it my all. But the One Heavens Pill Association is a powerful organization, and there might be many who are not satisfied with this sudden president who came out of nowhere."
Hei Long laughed loudly, "Brother, we are here. Whoever dares to disobey will have to go through us first."
At this moment, a cold huffing sound came, "Such a big mouth. A brat also dares to control the One Heavens Pill Association?" Everyone turned their heads and saw an elderly man in splendid clothing and a group of people with fierce expressions approaching.
Huang Ling'er furrowed her brow and said, "Zhao Vice President, what are you doing here?" It turned out that this person was the vice president of the One Heavens Pill Association who had always coveted the position of president.
The Vice President of Zhao sneered coldly: "I am naturally here to see who dare to steal the position of president. " Mo Wenjie's eyes flashed coldly, and it seemed that a fight was inevitable.
Mo Wenjie looked at Vice President Zhao and could not for the life of him figure out how these people got the news about the Shen Nong Tripod, and why they were here. He wondered if they also wanted to obtain the Shen Nong Tripod.
Vice President Zhao crossed his arms and sneered, "Mo Wenjie, don't think having the support of the Tai Huang Huang Zeng Heaven will allow you to sit comfortably in the position of president. The Shen Nong Tripod is a precious treasure that you, a youngster like you, cannot touch."
Mo Wenjie clenched his fists, "Vice President Zhao, the position of president was bestowed by Tai Huang Huang Zeng Heaven, not stolen by me. As for Shen Nong Tripod, it was meant to be mine." At this moment, Hei Long stepped forward and glared at Vice President Zhao and the others. "If you have common sense, leave now or don't blame us for being unfriendly."
One of the men behind Vice President Zhao shouted, "Hmph, just relying on you all? Today, we must take the Shen Nong Tripod with us, and the position of president needs to be decided anew."
Mo Wenjie's heart stirred. Could it be that someone inside the association had leaked the news? But at this moment, it was not the time to investigate. He stepped forward, emitting a powerful fluctuation of spiritual energy from his body, "If you want Shen Nong Tripod, then it's up to you to see if you have the capability."
Vice President Zhao's face turned pale, surprised by the might of Mo Wenjie. But with the arrow drawn, there was no turning back. He gave an order, and the two sides engaged in combat instantly. In an instant, spiritual light flashed wildly and collisions of spells echoed throughout the surroundings.
Mo Wenjie displayed his unique skills as a pill refiner, and in the battle, he was able to subtly suppress the other side. Vice President Zhao was startled in his heart, realizing that Mo Wenjie was indeed not easy to deal with.
Vice President Zhao knew that he had no chance of winning if he continued like this. He turned his head secretly, took out a talisman, and whispered incantations. This talisman was called the Imprisonment Symbol, one of his hidden treasures. As long as it was used, even Mo Wenjie, with supernatural abilities, would be unable to escape for a while. He then spat out the talisman and threw it into the air. Mo Wenjie was entirely focused on countering the attack and suddenly felt a twisting of space around him. A powerful force of confinement struck him.
Hei Long saw this in horror and wanted to go forward to help but was tightly held back by Vice President Zhao's subordinates. As Zhao was about to assume the situation was under control and seize Shen Nong Tripod, Mo Wenjie sneered coldly. It turned out that he had already predicted Vice President Zhao might cheat him and had a secret weapon in place. He bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of vital essence on the medicinal furnace he carried with him. The furnace instantly blazed with red light and emitted intense heat, melting the Imprisonment Symbol. Mo Wenjie emerged from his imprisonment and dashed straight at Vice President Zhao like a bolt of lightning. Zhao was terrified beyond belief, unable to react in time as Mo Wenjie struck him in the chest, sending him flying backward. The rest saw their leader fail and scattered in all directions.
