#1058 - Chapter 1058 Looks a bit like

Bai Wuchen and the other three arrived at the city gate. Hanging high above was a black plaque with the words "West City" written in gold.

West City and the surrounding hundred li all belonged to the West Continent. The Human Emperor who conquered the city chose this place to build this enormous West City.

Bai Wuchen and the others walked through the city gate, strolling side by side on the bustling street, weaving through the throngs of people. Everywhere they looked, people were dressed in gorgeous, brightly colored clothes, their faces beaming with sweet smiles, accompanied by bursts of clear laughter. The surroundings were filled with a joyful atmosphere.

"Second Senior Brother, it's so lively here!" Ye Xiaoyao exclaimed, looking around. He loved this kind of atmosphere, with crowds of people everywhere and cheerful laughter ringing in his ears.

Hei Xuan, who had been silently following Bai Wuchen, looked at the scene before him. His usually cold eyes flickered, as if he felt a familiar yet strange sensation.

Ye Xiaoyao and Ye Wuxin didn't notice the subtle change in Hei Xuan's eyes. Bai Wuchen was focused on the information recorded on the paper Ye Kong had given him and didn't pay attention to Hei Xuan either.

Bai Wuchen studied it carefully for a long time. The paper only stated that the Quadruped Azure Cauldron was located within the West Continent, but it didn't provide a more specific location, leaving Bai Wuchen feeling somewhat clueless.

The bustling streets were packed with people, incredibly crowded. The small stalls lining the road were filled with all sorts of goods. The vendors, their faces beaming with smiles, eagerly beckoned customers, engaging in loud conversations and creating a boisterous atmosphere.

The people of West City believed that an elegant life was inseparable from food, so when West City was founded, all kinds of food emerged like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. The dazzling array of food and exquisite flavors stimulated the taste buds of the West City residents, enriching their lives.

Since entering the city, Bai Wuchen and the others had seen mostly small taverns, with more luxurious ones being restaurants.

The four of them arrived at a restaurant called "Wind and Cloud Pavilion," which was decorated in a very opulent and magnificent style.

Bai Wuchen and the others casually found a table and sat down. Soon, a waiter with a rag draped over his shoulder came over with a bow.

"What would you gentlemen like to eat?" the waiter asked respectfully, his eyes full of smiles as he sized up Bai Wuchen and the others.

As the waiter scanned the group, his eyes widened slightly when he saw Hei Xuan at the end. He stared at Hei Xuan, somewhat lost in thought.

After Ye Xiaoyao and the others ordered their dishes and handed the slip to the waiter, Ye Xiaoyao realized that the waiter hadn't moved. He looked up and saw the waiter staring blankly at Hei Xuan, not even blinking.

After the waiter left, Bai Wuchen spoke up.

"The Quadruped Azure Cauldron doesn't have a specific location, making it inconvenient to act. Later, Wuxin, you can ask the waiter. Maybe he'll know something."

Ye Wuxin nodded. Soon, the same waiter brought the delicious dishes to their table.

"Here you are, gentlemen. Sorry for the wait. Enjoy your meal, and let me know if you need anything else." The waiter said with an extremely formal tone, then turned to leave, but Ye Wuxin stopped him.

"Waiter, actually, there is something." Wuxin said while picking up food, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Yes, sir?" The waiter was accustomed to observing people's expressions in the restaurant. As soon as he heard Wuxin say that, he knew that these people were trying to inquire about something.

"Is there anything special or precious in this city?" Ye Wuxin asked casually, lowering his voice.

The waiter didn't understand what Ye Wuxin meant and shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

"I mean, a very special treasure, like a cauldron?" Ye Xiaoyao, seeing that the waiter didn't understand, gave a more direct hint.

"Oh~ Are you gentlemen asking about the Quadruped Azure Cauldron in the West Imperial Palace?" After Ye Xiaoyao's reminder, the waiter remembered.

Bai Wuchen and the others looked at each other, the light in their eyes deepening slightly.

"Continue," Ye Wuxin said.

"You may not know, but this vast West Continent is controlled by the West Emperor in the palace. And that West Emperor once had two brothers. One was the flamboyant and scholarly West Prince of Politics—Zhou Zhuo. The other was the West Prince of War, Zhou Mo, who struck fear into the hearts of people on the battlefield. The peaceful life that the common people enjoy now was all won by the West Prince of War. It can be said that this West Prince of War is a legendary figure in the West Continent."

Hei Xuan, who had been focusing on eating his food, hadn't been paying attention to what the waiter was saying, but when he heard the words "West Prince of War," Hei Xuan paused, and a vague image flashed through his mind.

The waiter originally wanted to continue telling them about the abilities of this West Zhou Prince, but something occurred to him, and the light in his eyes dimmed. The waiter sighed.

"But later, news came from the palace that the West Prince of War... disappeared!"

"Disappeared?"

"Vanished!"

Ye Wuxin and Ye Xiaoyao had only wanted to hear an interesting story, but they didn't expect the waiter to suddenly say that. The two were somewhat puzzled, and they saw the waiter shake his head helplessly.

"It is said that the palace sends out a large number of people every day to search for the West Prince of War, but there has been no news. We common people also want to do our part, but the West Prince of War we've seen always wears a mask. We haven't even seen his true face, so we commoners are powerless."

The group roughly understood what had happened in the city, but Bai Wuchen was obviously not interested in these things and asked directly.

"Can you tell us about this Quadruped Azure Cauldron?"

"Oh, it is said that the Quadruped Azure Cauldron is the treasure of the West Imperial Palace, treasured by the West Emperor. We ordinary people don't know what power that cauldron has, but the person who can use that cauldron is a celestial being!"

"A celestial being?" Bai Wuchen and the others were somewhat puzzled.

"The Grand Priest in the palace is the only one who can use that cauldron. When the plague broke out in West City, it was the Grand Priest who activated the power of the Quadruped Azure Cauldron, adding some ordinary medicinal herbs to boil porridge, and the people in the city who had the plague recovered completely within a day. It is even said that those with broken arms and legs, as long as they add medicinal herbs and soak them in the cauldron, limb regeneration is not a dream!"

Ye Wuxin and Ye Xiaoyao looked at each other, feeling that what the waiter was saying was too exaggerated.

After Bai Wuchen and the others finished their meal, they paid the bill at the counter and left the restaurant.

"Take care, gentlemen, come again next time~" The shopkeeper saw them to the door, and only when the figures of the group disappeared did the shopkeeper walk back in.

"Shopkeeper~" The waiter from before came over.

"Shopkeeper, did you notice that one of the four people looked somewhat like the West Emperor?"
