Chapter 163 - Black Pot

Qin Chen didn’t dare to think about it. If it really was Emperor runes, then this black pot was probably a lost emperor weapon!

“This is the pot I use to stew meat. Although meat hasn’t flown out of the Demon Emperor Tomb for a long time, don’t even think about getting your hands on this pot!” Seeing that Qin Chen was staring at the big black pot, the big scorpion held the big black pot in its arms and looked at Qin Chen with its teeth bared, as if to say “if you dare to have any ideas about my big black pot, don’t blame me for fighting you to the death”.

Qin Chen was speechless, but he really wanted to know if this big black pot was an emperor weapon. Thus, he took out the corpse of the roc he killed in the Roc Forest and licked his lips as he said, “I’ll use this roc to exchange with you.”

“A roc!” The big scorpion’s eyes lit up. Demons could devour other races to improve their bloodline. Although this roc was only a chaotic demon spawn and not a real roc, the bloodline of the golden-winged roc in its body was enough to benefit it a lot.

However, the big scorpion had also used the black pot for many years. It knew very well that this black pot was definitely no ordinary item. If it were to exchange the pot for a roc corpse just like that, it would feel that it had suffered a loss.

Seeing the big scorpion’s hesitation, Qin Chen snorted, “Since you don’t want to exchange, then forget it.”

As he spoke, Qin Chen put the roc’s corpse away and moved as if he was about to leave. The big scorpion was immediately anxious when it saw this. It looked at the big black pot in its arms with reluctance and gritted its teeth, “Alright, I’ll trade with you. But I want the other foods on you too.”

“Deal!” Qin Chen smiled triumphantly. With a thought, a pile of food flew out from his spatial magical artifact. There were the corpses of demonic beasts, precious fruits, and all kinds of wine. It could be said that there was everything one could think of.

Looking at the variety of food, the big scorpion giggled, and saliva flowed out.

It had been here since it was born and had never left. For so many years, it had never eaten any proper food. It couldn’t believe what it was seeing.

After taking the big black pot from the big scorpion, Qin Chen went to the side to check it carefully. He used the spiritual spring water to wash the dirt off the big black pot, then tried to use his divine power to activate it.

What surprised him was that the divine power he released was enough to revive a Sage King weapon, but the black pot did not even react after devouring his divine power.

Could the black pot really be an extreme emperor weapon?

Qin Chen’s eyes narrowed and his expression became serious. He decided to find out what was going on and continued to transfer divine power to the big black pot.

Half an hour later, a drop of sweat appeared on Qin Chen’s forehead, but the big black pot was still reactionless, which surprised him. One had to know that the amount of divine power he had released by now was enough to revive an extreme emperor weapon!

Seeing that Qin Chen was still studying the big black pot, the big scorpion, who was stewing meat and drinking wine at the side, suddenly said, “Brat, other than being able to stew meat faster, that black pot has no other use. Why don’t you rest for a while and let me use it to stew the roc first?”

The roc’s corpse was terrifyingly tough. Even if the big scorpion stewed it with Dao fire, it couldn’t be cooked in a short time. Therefore, it thought of using the big black pot once more.

“Stew meat?” Qin Chen muttered and looked at the big black pot in his hand. Since he could not find out its secrets, he frankly threw the pot back to the big scorpion.

The big scorpion took the big black pot and poured the roc meat into the pot. After adding some spiritual spring water, it lit a Dao fire and began to stew the roc.

In less than five minutes, the smell of meat wafted out. The roc’s meat had been stewed, and the thick fragrance tempted even Qin Chen. He thought to himself, “Is this big black pot not a weapon, but a food vessel?”

The big scorpion was already drooling. It tore off a piece of roc meat with its bare hands without any fear of the heat and gobbled it down in front of Qin Chen.

“This roc is really not bad. Its meat is tender and chewy. It’s even more delicious than the meat I’ve eaten before,” The big scorpion showed a satisfied expression and complimented with a muffled voice.

Qin Chen swallowed his saliva and couldn’t help but look at the big black pot. He was originally eyeing the roc meat, but he was suddenly shocked. The roc meat in the pot did not have a trace of divine power. The bloodline power in the meat had disappeared.

This shocked Qin Chen. He took a big step towards the big black pot and stared at it. Then, he used his divine sense power to carefully examine the array patterns.

“What are you doing? This meat is all mine,” The big scorpion stood in front of the big black pot like a cub protecting its food as it bared its fangs at Qin Chen.

“Haven’t you noticed that this roc meat has already lost its bloodline power?” Qin Chen snorted.

The big scorpion looked at the stew in the pot, then at the chunk of meat in its hand. It came to a sudden realization and said, “You’re saying that the big black pot has devoured the bloodline power of the roc meat? ”

Qin Chen nodded. This was the only explanation now. However, what he could not figure out was that devouring bloodlines was something that only living beings could do. How did this black pot do it? Could it be that it had gained sentience?

“Hmph, no wonder my bloodline hasn’t improved even after eating so many experts. It’s all because of this pot. I’ll smash you into pieces with one palm!” The big scorpion shouted angrily and turned back into its original form. After it poured the meat stew in the pot all into its mouth, it burst out with Sagely might and hit the big black pot with its pincers.

“Bang!” With a loud bang, the big scorpion turned back into its human form. However, when the dust settled, both Qin Chen and the big scorpion were shocked. The big black pot was unscathed. One should know that this was an attack from a Supreme Sage!

“Damn! Isn’t this black pot too solid?!” The big scorpion cursed. Its hand was numb, but the black pot was still intact. It was even harder than divine iron.

Qin Chen picked up the big black pot and used his heavenly eye divine power to check it again. However, he still couldn’t find anything fishy, so he put it away, planning to study it when he returned to the Taiyi Holy Land.

“Damn it, this black pot has been devouring the bloodline power of all my food all this time. No wonder my bloodline hasn’t improved after eating so many races. It’s all because of this. To think it has tricked me for tens of thousands of years, this pot is too cunning!”

The big scorpion was so angry that it kept cursing. It had obtained this black pot a long time ago and had been using it to stew meat all this time. When it thought of the bloodline power that the big black pot had secretly devoured all these years, its heart was bleeding.

Qin Chen pitied the big scorpion and lent it his Black Phoenix Cauldron.

With the help of the Black Phoenix Cauldron, The giant scorpion finally got to eat the roc meat with intact bloodline power.

That night, after the giant scorpion devoured the roc’s bloodline, its bloodline power was thus enhanced. Its skin turned golden, and it actually showed signs of atavism.
