On some narrow winding mountain trails, Xiao Qian looked behind him in confusion.
Seven or eight mysterious people wearing black tights were looking towards him with shining eyes, their eyes full of excitement.
Those people's faces were covered with a thick black veil, so it was impossible to know who they were.
But in the arms of the person at the front was a small purple mink.
This made Xiao Qian, who still had a smile on his face, suddenly turned gloomy. He lowered his voice and said, "Ziyun Diao, there was something wrong with that purple salvia plant just now."
"Oh, you're not stupid yet."
A chuckle resounded in the crowd, and then a gray-haired old man walked out and said with a surprised look on his face: "I thought Youyun Peak had already declined, but I didn't expect that there would still be a chance to turn around."
"Twelve top-grade foundation-building pills are really unexpected!"
After saying that, he immediately turned his eyes to Xiao Han next to Xiao Qian, and continued with a chuckle: "What do you call me fellow Taoist? You should have refined those pills!"
"So what?"
Xiao Han replied very calmly, curled his lips and sneered: "You are following me sneakily, are you trying to rob me by force?"
"Ha, fellow Taoist, you are worrying too much." The old man in black chuckled and said with a respectful face: "I just admire the master a little, so I would like to ask the master to condescend to come to my humble residence for a few days."
"Actually, the vintage of the purple salvia is still too young, and it is not worthy of the status of a master."
"There are still several thousand-year-old elixirs in the humble house. If the master is willing, I can leave them to you for processing."
"Leave it to me to handle it?" Xiao Han repeated softly, and instantly understood the meaning of this sentence. He wanted to take him back as a free labor force!
However, he was still a little greedy for those thousand-year-old elixirs.
After all, thousand-year-old elixirs, even the most common polygonatum, poria, licorice, etc., will reach the fourth level of quality as long as they are thousands of years old.
And even monks at the Nascent Soul Stage wouldn't have too many elixirs of this quality.
The sneaky guy in front of me seemed to be only in the foundation-building stage. I didn't expect that his family would be so rich.
But as a guest, Xiao Han has no such idea now.
The four top-grade Yuan Condensing Pills just now have been replaced with enough elixirs, and the elixirs can be refined into pills that can be used for almost two months.
However, alchemy is just a side job and should not be put before the horse.
The most important purpose of coming to this world is to find Liu Yan as soon as possible, so he must return to his peak condition as soon as possible.
As for the old man in front of him, although he looked respectful, Xiao Han could feel his hypocrisy and continued with a sneer: "In this case, just give me the elixir."
"I will be at Youyun Peak during this period and will ask Xiao Qian to send you foundation-building pills of equal value."
"Um...I'm afraid that won't work." The old man in black was stunned for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Those elixirs don't belong to me, so I have no right to control them."
"That's nonsense."
Xiao Han said impatiently, and immediately took a step forward, no longer trying to hold back the desire to shoot these people to death.
But before he had time to take action, the old man in black immediately said: "Master, please calm down, don't be too busy refusing."
"Although Youyun Peak is good, it is still far inferior to Humble House."
"I think you may have never refined fourth-level elixirs, so you don't know that there is no way to refine fourth-level elixirs with ordinary flames."
"And the humble house not only has an alchemy room that can activate earth fire, but also a third-level alchemy furnace."
"Earth Fire Alchemy Room, Level 3 Alchemy Furnace?" Xiao Han couldn't help but pause when he heard the information that was beyond the blind spot of knowledge.
Ordinary flames cannot refine fourth-level elixirs, which he really doesn't know.
At the same time, during this period of time, he also discovered that when refining the Qi Gathering Pill, it only takes ten minutes at most to form the pill.
But when refining the second-level Yuan Condensing Pill, it only takes more than an hour to refine the elixir.
I still couldn't figure out what caused this, but fortunately, the second-level foundation-building pill could still be refined normally, so I didn't think much about it.
But now I know that the temperature is not enough, so the refining speed is very slow.
Next, he needs to refine third-level elixirs, and perhaps the medicine refining room at Youyun Peak will no longer be able to meet his next needs.
Thinking of this question, he immediately looked at Xiao Qian beside him and asked directly: "Isn't your pill furnace unable to refine elixirs of level three or above?"
"No way!"
Xiao Qian thought of the red stove handed down from his ancestors, and immediately said with certainty: "My pill stove should also be of the third level."
"I remember my father and grandfather once said that this alchemy furnace even refined a golden elixir stage monster."
"What's more, the alchemy furnace also has a formation to increase the temperature of the furnace. A mere third-level elixir can be refined even with ordinary flames."
"But this isn't right!" Xiao Han frowned slightly and immediately said in a deep voice: "Your alchemy furnace is now having a hard time even refining the second-level elixir."
"If we can really increase the furnace temperature, it shouldn't be like this!"
"Hey, that's because the alchemy furnace is fake." The old man in black chuckled, and while looking at Xiao Qian, he said softly: "The things in the house have been secretly exchanged for nearly a hundred years, and you don't even know it."
"I wonder if Taoist Youyun knew that his junior was so unsatisfactory, would he be so angry that he would lift up the coffin board and jump out."
"What do you mean?" Upon hearing such news, Xiao Qian's face suddenly sank, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who are you, and how do you know that my alchemy furnace is fake?
"
"Hey, I'm not the only one who knows this."
The old man in black chuckled lightly and continued: "In Liuyun Sect, any family that is well-informed will know that your family's alchemy furnace has been swapped."
"Perhaps you still don't know that the alchemy furnace is not actually a third-level treasure, but a genuine fourth-level ancient treasure."
"It is said that more than three hundred years ago, an ancient ruin appeared on the Wanxing Sea due to earthquakes in the earth's crust. The Red Fire Furnace was excavated from the ancient ruins."
"Youyun Peak has been suppressed all these years. Haven't you thought about the reason behind this? In a declining family, is it possible that someone really peeks at the mountain peak that doesn't even have spiritual veins?"
"Switched?" Xiao Qian said with an ugly face, not knowing when this happened.
It's even possible that the alchemy furnace was switched before he was even born.
Without the corresponding strength, my father and grandfather would definitely not be able to keep the ancient treasure that has reached the fourth level.
But what Xiao Qian couldn't understand was, since the Red Fire Stove had been switched, why would someone still target the Xiao family and even force him to go to the Sea of Ten Thousand Stars?
