Lu Sulan glanced quietly at her master who appeared to be looking for something. She remained silent throughout the journey and just focused her attention on cultivating the Chaotic Ice Flame Formula.

Jiu Shen glanced at the surroundings and nodded his head in approval. He said with a hint of satisfaction in his tone. "This place is perfect for barbecuing the meat of the Horned Infernal Hound."

Lu Sulan who was partly immersed in her cultivation almost stumbled when she heard her master's words. 'I thought master is looking for another spiritual plant. To think that he is just looking for a suitable place to barbecue the meat of the Horned Infernal Hound...' Lu Sulan thought to herself.

Jiu Shen ignored the peculiar look of Lu Sulan that was directed at him. He then took out the cauldron that the system rewarded him after he had successfully refined ten Invigorating Meridians Pill in the Profound State. The cauldron's name was Heaven Trampling Cauldron.

Jiu Shen has yet to see how the cauldron looked like, but he was looking forward to it especially after knowing the system's extravagance.

"Roaaarr!" A roar that resembled a dragon's cry resounded when Jiu Shen took out the Heaven Trampling Cauldron. The sky appeared to have darkened as if the heavens was angry about the arrival of something!

Thick dark clouds hovered above the sky as they continuously produced crackling sounds of thunder. It was as if a huge storm was about to hit the whole mountain range!

Jiu Shen glanced at the sky with an indifferent look before he turned to look at the cauldron in front of him.

The Heaven Trampling Cauldron was approximately one meter in height with three legs supporting it. Embedded on the cauldron's body were four azure dragons that appeared to be roaring at the skies. The four azure dragons seemed so real that even low-level cultivators would tremble in fear if they took a glance at the cauldron.

"This cauldron is actually made from a Heaven Collapsing Alavard Stone. So that's why it was able to summon the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning because this heavenly metal attracts the most potent kinds of lightning. Aside from the Heaven Collapsing Alavard Stone, each of the four azure dragons embedded in this cauldron's body also contains a true dragon's bone." Jiu Shen muttered to himself as he slapped the cauldron's body causing it to produce a dull ringing sound.

"Rooaarr!" As if angered by Jiu Shen's rough actions, the four azure dragons embedded on the cauldron emitted a resonating dragon cry.

"Crackle!" The crackling sounds of thunder intensified as if the heavens was wary of the Heaven Trampling Cauldron's might.

A streak of violent lightning smashed towards the Heaven Trampling Cauldron in a bid to erase its existence.

Lu Sulan's eyes had a trace of fear as she glanced at the incoming bolt of lightning. Although Lu Sulan was an expert at the 8th-rank Divine realm, she was still powerless against the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.

Only those at the very peak of the 9th-rank Saint realm dared to face it head-on.

The dragon tattoo on his right arm slowly morphed into a sword. He then turned to face the bolt of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning with an uncaring expression. It was if he didn't place the violent streak of lightning in his eyes.

In fact, Jiu Shen disdained the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning. In his past life, he only used the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning to scratch his itch...

With a casual sword stroke that looked as if an immortal painter was wielding his brush to draw a beautiful painting, Jiu Shen brandished his Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword with one hand in a carefree manner.

When the bolt of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning hit the sword's blade, a huge transformation occurred in Jiu Shen's sword.

It's ordinary-looking sword body slowly grew bigger until it reached two meters in length. Red archaic patterns slowly emerged from the sword's body and two red dragons can be seen on the sword's hilt that intertwined against each other.

This was the true form of Jiu Shen's Baleful Dragon Sword!

Like a droplet of rain that hit the solid ground, the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning wasn't even able to produce a ripple in the Baleful Dragon Sacred Sword's body. It was immediately extinguished after it hit the sword's body.

Following that, the sky slowly reverted to its calm state.

Lu Sulan Heaved a sigh of relief after seeing that the Heavenly Tribulation Clouds were gradually disappearing. She then turned to look at her master and the huge heavy sword that he had wielded.

It was the first time that she had seen a weapon that was unlike any other. She refused to believe that it was just an ordinary sword especially after it had effortlessly received a bolt of Heavenly Tribulation Lightning. Furthermore, her reverence towards her master increased significantly after seeing that he remained unscathed and unperturbed when faced against the Heavenly Tribulation Lightning.

'Master, just how strong are you?' Lu Sulan glanced at her master in awe and worship.

Jiu Shen took back his sword and flicked his right arm causing his robes to flutter.

"Now, I can peacefully barbecue the meat of the Horned Infernal Hound." Jiu Shen muttered silently.

Lu Sulan numbly sat down crossed-legged on the grassy field while acting as if she hadn't heard of her master's words.

With a snap of his fingers, a small wisp of black flames materialized on his fingertips.

Lu Sulan's eyes grew wary when she felt the heat coming from the small wisp of black flame. She could still remember that it was the same flame that Jiu Shen used when he refined the 8th-grade Invigorating Meridians Pill.

Jiu Shen gently flicked his fingers and directed the wisp of black flames at the bottom of the Heaven Trampling Cauldron.

Jiu Shen then bit the tip of his forefinger causing a small drop of his blood to drip towards the Heaven Trampling Cauldron.

After feeling a strong connection from the Heaven Trampling Cauldron. He knew that it had approved him in becoming its owner.

"Time to start barbecuing..."
