Even though the discovery in the cave made Zhang Yueming extremely bitter, but everyone was still satisfied with the final result.
“The owner of this cave may be powerful in the Dao of array formations, but he is not qualified in the field of pill refining!” Zhang Yueming was still resentful: “Anyone who useundred year old spirit grass and elixirs to refine an ordinary pill would go crazy, this is just like killing a chicken with a blade. Moreover, the owner of the cave seems to not be tired of it!”
This will allow the pill to maintain its medicinal properties for a long period of time. But the owner of the pill house obviously did not know this, as the pills it refined were only casually kept in jade bottles, if not, even after hundreds of years, most of the pills in the pill house would not have failed! ”
Other people did not understand much about pill refining, so they could not understand Zhang Yueming’s crazed look, luckily he had obtained some treasures in the cave, or at least some high quality medicines, and furthermore, everyone was focused on the bronze pill furnace in the middle of the cave.
Just because they didn’t know how to refine pills didn’t mean that they didn’t know how preciouill furnace was, even though it was just a low grade magic tool pill furnace, furthermore, when Zhang Yueming was inspecting the pill furnace, he took out a spark that was about to go out, causing everyone to become even more anxious!
Now, Zhang Yueming was going to take out a lot of things from the cave. However, due to the lack of maintenance and the passing of time, most of them were already of no value, and of the remaining things, there were only three that were of real value: the three Scarlet Essence Fruits in the Spirit Sealing Box, a low-grade spirit pellet furnace, and this fire pellet!
Whether it was eating it raw or refining it into a Scarlet Elf Pill, it was extremely helpful for cultivators at the fourth stage of the martial arts realm to advance to the great circle of perfection.
Amongst all other items of the same quality, a pill furnace was one of the hardest to refine. Not only did it require an extremely high quality and variety of spiritual materials, but during the refining process, it also required the cooperation of a refiner and an alchemist. Aesult, the value of a low-grade pill furnace was often comparable to that of a mid-grade weapon.
However, the most precious item was the fire. Although there was not only one method of refining pills by fire, it was undeniable that most of the pills and pill refiners in the cultivation world used the method of refining pills by fire.
The first was a fire seed condensed from the foundation of the alchemist’s own spiritual energy. This kind of alchemist usually trained in fire attribute skills, and there were many alchemists who practiced other types of skills, but compared to the former, whether it was in the process of refining pills, the price paid and the potential of the alchemist was far from being enough.
The second method was to find a fire and spirit seed to cultivate it intill fire seed. This way, one wouldn’t have to be restricted by the cultivator’s own cultivation technique. However, there was still a huge difficulty; one would have to pay a huge price to cultivate a pill fire seed.
The refining and nurturing of an alchemist, as well as the nourishment of a large amount of spirit energy from the Jade Coins s, was not enough. Furthermore, a large amount of spirit energy was needed to nourish the alchemist, as well as the nourishment of the Qi of the alchemist.
It could be said that the formation of a fire seed required an incredible amount of energy and a high price to pay for the forging of a pill. Naturally, it became extremely valuable.
Aesult, when Zhang Yueming took out this almost extinguished seed from the pill furnace, almost everyone turned their attention to it.
How should these things be divided?
Everyone was rapidly calculating in their minds.
In Yan Qinxi’s opinion, the seven of them should be split into two factions. As a cultivator of the Mengyu County, Yang Junshan should be on the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s side.
Of course, they did their best to win Yang Junshan over to their side. After all, within the Five Element Formation where danger lurks from all sides, the usefulness of Yang Junshan was obvious to all.
But from Yang Junshan’s point of view, the seven of them should be split into three camps, Heaven-Shaken Sect, Tan Xi Sect and himself!
That’s right, Yang Junshan thought that he was on equal footing with the other two sides, because he was an array master, and the rest of them were all in the array set up by a array master, without him leading, the other six people would simply be headless flies in this array, and even if they managed to survive, they could only rely on luck to get through.
In fact, there was another person that everyone had subconsciously ignored. Zhang Sunxing was also rolling his eyes, and it was unknown what kind of plan he had in mind, but the people here naturally viewed him as a follower of the Tan Xi Sect, and even more so didn’t take a little cultivator at the second level of the martial arts realm to heart. However, no one knew what Zhang Sunxing was thinking.
The few of them looked at the object in the middle of the cave, and none of them were the first to speak. Yang Junshan glanced at the entrance of the cave, “Hehe,” he laughed, and said: “Those three are probably crossing the river by this time, if we don’t take out a statute, I’m afraid the seven of us won’t be the only ones to share these items!”
Yan Qinxi blinked her eyes, but she said towards Yang Junshan: “Brother Yang’s contributions are obvious. Without him, neither us Tan Xi Sect nor Brother Liu’s Heaven-Shaken Sect would have been able to walk among the Five Elements Great Array for so long. I think Brother Yang would have picked the first thing!”
The young lady had already sold herself to Yang Junshan based on her own speculations, at the same time, she was trying to split the relationship between her and the Heaven-Shaken Sect. However, she didn’t know how many praises Yang Junshan had already given her in his heart.
However, it was clear that Liu Zhifei did not want to let Yan Qinxi’s method of differentiation to succeed, so he also needed to tie Yang Junshan to his own side, and laughed: “I’m afraid Miss is not mistaken, Little Yang is a cultivator of my Yuxian, if we reap rewards from this trip at the cave, without waiting, we will naturally not mistreat Little Yang, and in the future, I will definitely report it to the sect. At that time, there might even beward from the sect!”
“Since we won’t mistreat Taoist Yang, then why not let him choose one of these items immediately. Could it be that the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s rewards are inferior to the ones on the surface?”
Liu Zhifei and the others underestimated Yue Yang, so they naturally wouldn’t say those words out loud.
Liu Zhifei thought for a while, then decisively said to Yang Junshan: “How about, Xiao Yang what do you like, pick one yourself?”
Yang Junshan immediately ignored Liu Zhifei’s hesitant tone, and directly said witappy expression: “Alright!”
Yang Junshan walked over. Amongst all these things, the Pill Fire Seed was naturally the most precious one, but that thing was just for fun by an Alchemist. Furthermore, there was no Pill Furnace, so what was the use of just a Pill Fire Seed?
Alchemists were naturally an essential factor in the clan’s rise to power, and although the Yang family did not have any alchemist at the moment, that did not mean that Yang Junshan had to prepare in advance. Compared till furnace, a pill furnace was much more important, and in the future, the Yang family would definitely have to produce an alchemist, without which they could use other methods to deal with it.
“I want it!” Yang Junshan said as he pointed to the two foot tall large bronze furnace.
Seeing what Yang Junshan had chosen, no matter if it was the Heaven-Shaken Sect s or the Tan Xi Sect’s side, both of their expressions seemed to loosen at the same time.
Although pill furnaces were valuable, even with the Tan Xi Sect, a powerful force that had existed for thousands of years, how could there not be many pill furnaces in the sect? Whether it was Yan Qinxi or Yan Qinxi, neither of them had set their sights on the bronze furnace from the beginning.
If Tan Xi Sect was like that, then there was no need to talk about Heaven-Shaken Sect, as the number one sect of Yuzhou, his background was much deeper than Tan Xi Sect’s. Aill refiner, Zhang Yueming received great help from Heaven-Shaken Sect, regardless of whether it was the fire or the pill furnaces, he did not lack any, and it was even better than the one in front of him!
Therefore, in Zhang Yueming’s eyes, it was not only the pill furnace, even the pill fire was not important. What he truly wanted was the three Scarlet Essence Fruits in the Spirit Sealing Box.
Based on his alchemy skills, one Scarlet Essence Fruit was matched with several spirit herbs. He was able to concoct one Scarlet Elf Pill, three of them would be three, which would increase the success rate of three cultivators who had reached the fourth level of martial arts realm and had reached the great circle of perfection.
More importantly, once the Red Elf Pill was successfully refined, it would signify that he could start attacking the higher quality treasured pellets!
However, the crafty Yan Qinxi seemed to have noticed something. After Yang Junshan picked the copper furnace, she decisively said: “Our Tan Xi Sect wants the three Scarlet Essence Fruits!”
“What?! Impossible!” Zhang Yueming immediately jumped up like a cat on its tail. These three Scarlet Essence Fruits were related to his skill at refining pills, how could he let them go?
Yan Qinxi said innocently: “Is there a mistake? That’ill fire, how can a Scarlet Essence Fruit be compared to that. I actually wouldn’t appreciate it if I gave you guys the better ones.”
Both of them were equally confused why Zhang Yueming had left a fire seed behind to fight over the three Scarlet Essence Fruits. Although refining that thing into pills could help cultivators break through their bottleneck and advance to the great perfection of the martial arts realm, would a mighty Heaven-Shaken Sect lack three Perfection of the cultivator s? What they needed waeavenly resource that could raise the foundations of their sect for a long time, just like the flame from the pill furnace.
