Zhiyun took a deep breath and gathered the courage to ask Dragon Keeper: "Respected Dragon Keeper, we are grateful for the strength and wisdom you have bestowed upon us. That being said, do you happen to know the whereabouts of the divine artifact?"
Dragon Keeper's eyes shimmered with profound light. He nodded gently and, after a moment of contemplation, spoke: "As far as I know, the Penglai caldron is an extraordinary divine artifact with the power to control time and space. It was once guarded by a powerful immortal, hidden at the boundary between the human world and the realm of immortals."
Zhiyun's eyes lit up, and she eagerly asked, "How can we find it? Are there any clues we can follow?"
Dragon Keeper smiled slightly, seeming satisfied with Zhiyun's curiosity and eagerness. "To find the Penglai caldron, you need to first find the gateway to the immortal realm. This gateway is hidden within a mysterious mountain peak surrounded by clouds. Only a true warrior can find and pass through that gate."
Jade Wing let out a cackling sound, seemingly expressing his excitement for the upcoming adventure.
Zhiyun nodded slightly, determination shining in her eyes: "We will find that mountain peak and uncover the secret of Penglai caldron."
Dragon Keeper As they looked at their determined appearance, seeming satisfied, he slowly said, "Your courage and wisdom will be your best guide. Remember, the power of the Penglai caldron is not to be underestimated. You must be prepared to face the challenges that lie ahead."
Zhiyun and Jade Wing exchanged a glance, then responded in unison, "Thank you for the reminder, senior."
With these words, they embarked on a journey to find the Penglai caldron.
Embarking on the journey to find the Penglai caldron, Zhiyun and Jade Wing tread lightly, passing through dense forests and heading towards the mysterious mountain peak.
Morning mist lingers among the mountains, like a mystical barrier, concealing the secrets to the immortal realm.
"This road is truly unusual," Zhiyun said, with a spark of adventure in her eyes. Her long sword lightly touched the ground, as if sensing something.
Jade Wing responded with a chuckle, his feathers shining with a golden luster in the sunlight, revealing his extraordinary identity. Although still in the form of a capercaillie, his figure appeared particularly agile in the dense forest.
They gradually approached the cloud-shrouded mountain peak, and the mountain path became increasingly rugged. Massive rocks and steep cliffs formed one obstacle after another, but for them, these were not enough to fear.
"The clouds seem somewhat different," Zhiyun frowned, reaching out to touch the floating clouds in the air, sensing a strange fluctuation.
Jade Wing approached her, carefully observing the surrounding environment, his keen senses searching for the hidden door.
Just then, Zhiyun suddenly stopped in her tracks, a flash of realization in her eyes. "Jade Wing, look over there!" She pointed to a huge stone wall, on which ancient runes were carved.
Jade Wing clucked and approached the stone wall, lightly pecking at the runes as if trying to decipher their meaning.
"These runes seem to be some kind of guidance," Zhiyun frowned in thought, her fingers gently sliding over the runes, attempting to unlock their secrets.
Suddenly, the runes on the stone wall emitted a dazzling light, and the entire mountain seemed to be responding to this mysterious power. A hidden path appeared before their eyes, leading into the depths of the mountain.
"This is the gateway to the immortal realm!" Zhiyun exclaimed in surprise, excitement shining on her face.
Jade Wing made a series of chuckling sounds, seemingly indicating agreement, and they followed the mysterious path ahead.
Passing through patches of lush green forests and crossing streams, they eventually arrived at a secluded cave. The cave was deep and dark, as if leading to another world.
"We should go in," Zhiyun took a deep breath, her gaze determined, the long sword in her hand emitting a calm light.
Jade Wing nodded, his eyes filled with curiosity and a spirit of adventure.
They stepped into the cave, only to find it filled with strange light and colorful mist, permeated with an ancient and mysterious aura.
As they ventured deeper, the scenery inside the cave became increasingly extraordinary, as if they were walking on the path to the immortal realm.
After a period of walking, they finally arrived at a spacious area. The light here was bright, and there was a sense of immortality in the air. In the center of the space, there was an ancient cauldron, which was exactly what they were looking for - the Penglai caldron.
"We finally found it," Zhiyun murmured, her eyes filled with astonishment and reverence.
Jade Wing let out a long, chuckling sound, as if also admiring the beauty of this divine artifact.
At this moment, a gentle voice sounded: "Welcome to this place, brave one. The Penglai caldron has always been guarded by me. Why have you come here?"
Zhiyun and Jade Wing locked eyes for a moment. Zhiyun walked forward slowly and respectfully addressed the guardian, "Respected elder, we are seeking these artifacts to prevent an impending disaster. We understand the immense power of the Penglai caldron, but without gathering these artifacts, the entire world will face an unprecedented crisis."
The old man gazed at Zhiyun, with a hint of assessment and contemplation in his eyes. His gaze then turned to Jade Wing, seemingly examining their inner thoughts.
Jade Wing made a chuckling sound, his eyes firm, expressing his determination for this mission.
The old man fell silent for a moment and finally spoke, "I understand your original intention. However, the power of the Penglai caldron is not to be underestimated. If mishandled, the consequences would be unimaginable. You must prove that you are capable of mastering it."
Zhiyun nodded in response, "We are willing to accept any trial to prove our abilities."
The old man smiled slightly, extended his finger, and pointed to a small altar next to the pot: "There, you will face three challenges. Only by passing these challenges can the Penglai caldron follow you."
Zhiyun and Jade Wing stood in front of the altar, facing the imminent three great trials. The old man walked away slowly, leaving them in this sacred and ancient place.
