Chapter 1078: Chapter 1064: Ancient Alchemy Furnace
"Alchemy Furnace?"
Upon hearing these three words, the martial artists present, who were just about to leave, suddenly had a realization.
No wonder Ye Zhen’s base bid could move the Shuili Dan King, since an alchemy furnace is surely the favorite of the Shuili Dan King.
However, considering the Shuili Dan King’s passion for collecting and his strength, along with his centuries of collecting, he must have hundreds of alchemy furnaces, if not a thousand.
What kind of alchemy furnace could cause such a loss of composure from the Shuili Dan King?
Even Kui Otu, the Tower Chief of the third floor of the Stars Tower, was extremely curious. Among his base bids, there was also a soul artifact-level alchemy furnace, the final work of a grandmaster artifact refiner from a century ago.
It could not only refine pills but also be used as a weapon, both offensive and defensive, quite remarkable!
Just this one feature made it priceless.
In addition, there were rare spiritual medicines and a long-lost pill formula — all priceless treasures, and yet they lost to Ye Zhen?
He was also very curious about what kind of alchemy furnace could defeat them!
"No need to worry, Dan King. I will bring it out right away! However, I’m not entirely sure about the specific grade or origin of this alchemy furnace. All I know has been written on the base jade talisman.
I merely copied its appearance with my Divine Sense. If it turns out not as the Dan King had expected, please don’t hold it against me!" Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"As long as you aren’t deceiving, even if it isn’t what I expected, it would be my mistake, not your fault!" the Shuili Dan King said bluntly.
Ye Zhen nodded with a smile. He certainly wouldn’t engage in deceit, and he also believed that the Shuili Dan King wouldn’t make a mistake. The reason he didn’t fully disclose the alchemy furnace’s origin was a tactic of Ye Zhen.
What kind of thing draws the most interest from people?
Definitely not something whose particulars are fully known.
Rather, it’s those things with unknown origins that appear extraordinary, sparking attention, curiosity, and even an endless desire in those who love them.
When Ye Zhen wrote just the Departure Fire Furnace on the base jade talisman, he already understood this point, so he didn’t write down all the information about the Departure Fire Furnace he had.
He simply recorded an exact impression of the Departure Fire Furnace and annotated it with one sentence.
Departure Fire Furnace, specific origin unknown, specific grade unknown, weighs one million and eight thousand jin, fragrant within, allegedly one of the three treasures of the sect Beast Taming Sect that was destroyed a thousand years ago in the True Spirit Domain, supposedly producing over a million pills annually, and having refined spiritual medicines numbering in the billions.
Ye Zhen felt that just these details were enough to stir endless curiosity in the Shuili Dan King.
It was sufficient.
In reality, this was the alchemy furnace called Departure Fire that Ye Zhen had found in the Ten Thousand Beast Hall of the Beast Taming Sect.
Furthermore, Ye Zhen had already learned from Yangh Yiguan, the current Sect Leader and elder of the Beast Taming Sect he subdued, that this Departure Fire Furnace is an alchemy furnace passed down from ancient times.
It’s said its origins can be traced back to before the Yuan Dan Great Change from several thousand years ago. It can be confirmed that this Departure Fire Furnace is a treasure that existed before the Yuan Dan Great Change; beyond that, it’s unknown.
In this current era, whether Demon Beasts, secret technique inheritance, as long as they bear the word ’ancient,’ their value is instantly extraordinary.
This Departure Fire Furnace, being an ancient alchemy furnace, has extraordinary value, yet it holds no use for Ye Zhen.
So today, Ye Zhen made this ancient Departure Fire Furnace his base bid and retained some information to pique the curiosity of the Shuili Dan King.
Moreover, in Ye Zhen’s base bid, there was only this one ancient Departure Fire Alchemy Furnace.
Unexpectedly, it worked!
Bang!
With a loud rumble, the ancient Departure Fire Alchemy Furnace, weighing one million and eight thousand jin, landed in front of the Shuili Dan King, its weight causing the entire Shangdan Building to shake continuously.
The moment the ancient Departure Fire Alchemy Furnace appeared, the Shuili Dan King’s eyes widened, his body spun like a cyclone around the ancient alchemy furnace repeatedly.
"With its octagonal shape and circular cover at the base, it embodies the ancient alchemy furnace’s rigid construction method with the concept of heavenly roundness.
"The material is unknown, cool to the touch, yet warms instantly upon contact, excellent in heat conduction, with layered amplification formations within.
"The fragrance within is due to the accumulation of countless spiritual medicines through years of alchemy, making the scent this rich, signifies that the spiritual medicine refined by this alchemy furnace is definitely not just counted in billions.
If this fragrance is present, even the simplest steamed bun, left in this alchemy furnace for three days, could acquire the properties of spiritual medicine, becoming an elixir in the eyes of mortals!"
The crowd listened, utterly astounded. A simple steamed bun left for three days would turn into an elixir, this ancient Departure Fire Alchemy Furnace was truly remarkable.
"Using this alchemy furnace, the pill’s potency could increase by more than twenty percent!"
"Such a treasure, indeed a treasure...."
Shuili Dan King seemed possessed, obsessively refining the ancient Departure Fire Alchemy Furnace, murmuring incessantly. Eventually, he unleashed several streams of Spiritual Fire and began to sacrifice the ancient Departure Fire Alchemy Furnace, frightening everyone who quickly stepped aside.
About two hours later, Ye Zhen and the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking, together received from Shuili Island’s Grand Steward, Chen Pi, the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, the Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, two Purple Mansion True Marrow Pills, and the peculiar Golden Body Stone, all heavily sealed.
It is worth noting that the instant the Golden Body Stone fell into Ye Zhen’s hand, the Mirage Dragon Pearl located at Ye Zhen’s chest inexplicably quivered again.
And at the very moment the Mirage Dragon Pearl quivered, the Golden Body Stone in Ye Zhen’s palm also quivered faintly.
In an instant, Ye Zhen was overjoyed!
There’s a connection!
The Mirage Dragon Pearl and the Golden Body Stone indeed have a connection!
The Mirage Dragon Pearl is such an unparalleled treasure, so what grade of treasure could this Golden Body Stone, which is linked to the Mirage Dragon Pearl, be?
At that moment, Ye Zhen had an urge to laugh out loud three times.
It seems that at this Dan Appreciation Convention, no one knew what the true great find was actually this Golden Body Stone, which Ye Zhen picked up effortlessly without expending a single bit of energy.
"Fourth Brother, what’s wrong?" The voice of the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking interrupted Ye Zhen.
"Uh, nothing, just thinking that after all the hardship, I’ve finally obtained this Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, and with this Grand Treasure Mansion Opening Pill, I suppose my cultivation will soon break through to the Establishment Realm?"
The connection between the Golden Body Stone and the Mirage Dragon Pearl was something Ye Zhen would never reveal, no matter how close the people around him were, including the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking, he just used it as an excuse to deflect.
"Indeed, with the aid of these three pills, Fourth Brother’s cultivation surely will soar. However, when you take the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill, you must inform me, and I will protect you then!" the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking said.
Ye Zhen nodded, "Third Brother, rest assured. But, tomorrow morning Shuili Dan King wants to discuss a matter of special opportunity with us. I plan to take the Innate Bloodline Enhancement Pill after this matter is settled."
"That’s good! If that’s the case, get some rest early!" the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking said.
While nodding, Ye Zhen’s expression paused slightly, "Third Brother, there’s something I’d like to discuss with you."
"Go ahead!" The Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking’s demeanor was casual.
"This isn’t the place to talk, Third Brother, let’s discuss it in private!"
Half a quarter-hour later, Ye Zhen and the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking returned to their resting area. Ye Zhen unleashed several sealing talisman lights consecutively, and then requested the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking to add several layers of sealing light, meanwhile, Ye Zhen directly entered the realm of Sword Heart Enlightenment, and his Divine Sense continuously swept around like a sieve before preparing to speak.
Seeing Ye Zhen’s manner, the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking was also startled, realizing the matter Ye Zhen was about to speak of was extraordinary, his expression grew extremely solemn.
Thereafter, Ye Zhen recounted the discovery at the bottom of the undersea canyon.
Moments later, having heard half the story, the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking was startled by Ye Zhen’s account, jumping up.
"What, a Dao Entrance Realm Catfish Flood Dragon?
A Dao Entrance Flood Dragon that has not yet shapeshifted?
Even though it’s at the Dao Entrance Realm, it hasn’t shapeshifted yet, doesn’t this imply that this Catfish Flood Dragon’s bloodline is even more ancient and pure than Second Brother’s Great Sage of the Overturning Sea’s bloodline?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen rolled his eyes dramatically, thankfully he made arrangements in advance, otherwise just this shout from the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking could have attracted unwanted attention.
"Third Brother, could you let me finish? The unshapeshifted Dao Entrance Realm Catfish Flood Dragon is not the main point, the main point is what’s hidden beneath the Catfish Flood Dragon, a thousand feet of radiance! Emerald green radiance of a thousand feet!" Ye Zhen emphasized.
"Emerald green radiance of a thousand feet? A thousand feet of radiance?"
"There’s definitely a treasure; beneath that Catfish Flood Dragon, there’s undoubtedly a treasure!" Realizing this, the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking’s expression turned extraordinarily excited.
"Fourth Brother, what do you mean?" After recovering from the surprise, the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking asked.
Ye Zhen rolled his eyes at the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking once again, "Third Brother, what else could I mean? Naturally, I want to go with you and see what kind of treasure it is!"
A hint of emotion appeared in the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking’s eyes, and he vigorously patted Ye Zhen’s shoulder, "Good brother, we indeed didn’t misjudge you, truly a good brother, still remembered us in such a generous matter!"
"Don’t be sappy, also, if I could deal with that Catfish Flood Dragon, I wouldn’t be looking for you!" Ye Zhen responded.
"You....."
The Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking was left speechless!
"Since that’s the case, after we meet Shuili Dan King tomorrow and hear about his special opportunity, let’s find a way to quietly leave the island to explore!" the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking proposed.
"Hmm!" Ye Zhen nodded, as he was thinking the same, "By the way, Third Brother, what do you think Shuili Dan King’s special opportunity is about?"
The encounter then led the Great Sage of the Sea-Breaking to roll his eyes at Ye Zhen, "How would I know? But, if even Shuili Dan King refers to it as a special opportunity, it must be extraordinary!" (to be continued.
