Chapter 630: Thousands of years old elixir?

Gu Shi nodded and said,
"Something is wrong. Didn't the beggar say there were a lot of treasures here? We have been walking for so long, but we haven't seen anything?"

Except for the empty treasure pavilion outside, I don't know whether it was really taken away by the people in front, or it never existed.
"Yan'er... I'm coming to my senses now..."

Gu Shiyi thought for a moment and asked Pu Yanlan,

"This place is so weird, what do you think... could it be that the person in front wrote a letter to his old friend with bad intentions?"

In this world of cultivation, it is not uncommon to betray friends, family members, and even the person who sleeps with you!

Who knows if the owner of this place had some conspiracy to trick his friend, so he wrote a letter to trick his friend into coming. But after so many years, his friend didn't come, but this pair of fools came instead!
We can't fall into the trap, can we?
Pu Yanlan frowned and took out the note again to look at it carefully.
"I can't tell from the notes, but it does seem a little strange!"

So they discussed,

"How about...we go back first?"

Gu Shiyi thought for a while and said,

"We can retreat, but if Tianyi Sect wants to take root here in the future, this cave will be a hidden danger. Don't forget that there is a missing person in here!"

Sooner or later, I have to explore this place!
Pu Yanlan said in deep thought,

"You're right, but even if we know something is fishy, ​​we still need to do something!"

Gu Shiyi thought about it and nodded, then she flicked her ten fingers, and a breeze could be heard flowing around the two of them. She released her invisible dragon scales, while Pu Yanlan took out her oil lamp and lit it.

"go with!"

The oil lamp slowly flew into the air, and the soft dim light enveloped the two of them, adding another layer of protection. The two of them walked forward with confidence. Going further forward, they saw two rows of houses on the left and right. The doors were covered with fine steel fences, and the inside was already empty. It should be the place where the owner used to imprison the beasts or people outside!
After passing through two rows of houses, they could smell a faint sweet fragrance. This should be the source of the sweet fragrance they smelled when they entered the courtyard. After passing through the moon gate in front, they saw a furnace about two people tall standing in the middle of the courtyard.
"Alchemy furnace?"

Pu Yanlan raised her eyebrows, and the two of them stepped through the Moon Gate, and immediately felt a wave of heat coming towards them.

After so many years, could this alchemy furnace still be refining elixirs?
The two were startled. Gu Shiyi walked forward and touched the furnace. As expected, it was extremely hot. She looked at Pu Yanlan.

"Yan'er, what kind of alchemy furnace is this? It's been so many years, and it's still making elixirs?"

Pu Yanlan looked down at her feet and said,
"It should be that the original owner of this place used the underground fire to refine the elixir. As long as the underground fire is not extinguished, this elixir furnace can continue to refine..."

After a pause he said,

"Of course, this alchemy furnace should also be a treasure. If not... after so many years, an ordinary alchemy furnace would have already collapsed because it could not withstand the burning of the earth fire day and night... and it can control the furnace temperature at a constant level without the control of the owner, which is amazing!"

There was a glimmer of admiration in Pu Yanlan's eyes.
"What a good alchemy furnace! It's in no way inferior to our Earth Fire Dome Cauldron!"

Pu Yanlan is an alchemist, so she was naturally excited to see a good furnace. She looked around and said,
"I would like to take this thing..."

Above their heads, the dragon soul flew over and circled around the alchemy furnace a few times, saying with some disdain,

"Tsk... This is just a dead object, at most a high-level magical weapon. How can it compare with my magical weapon with a spirit?"

There was a lot of dissatisfaction in the words. Pu Yanlan compared this thing with herself. Pu Yanlan smiled and comforted him.
"Of course it can't be compared with yours. This thing can indeed be considered top-grade among magic tools, but without the spirit of the tool, the pills refined from it will be inferior!"

After looking her up and down, Gu Shiyi asked Pu Yanlan,

"Can this furnace be opened? I don't know what's being refined inside. It's been refined for so many years, it should have been refined long ago, right?"

Pu Yanlan thought for a while and said,
"I have never heard of any elixir that takes tens of thousands of years to refine. I guess the ingredients inside have already gone bad!"

She thought that the owner of this place mentioned in the letter that his life span was coming to an end. Could it be that when he was dying, he was no longer able to control the alchemy furnace, so he could only let it refine here for so many years?
Pu Yanlan said,

"In theory, since this furnace has lost its original owner and so many years have passed, the restrictions on it should have been removed..."

As he was speaking, a spell was cast on the furnace cover, but the cover did not move at all.

"what……"

Pu Yanlan changed several spells to open the furnace, but the furnace did not move at all. Nine streams of mist even spurted out from the air holes on the furnace cover. Thick white mist immediately filled the area around them. Pu Yanlan was a little confused.

"Perhaps this is an ancient alchemy furnace, and the method for opening the furnace is different from the current one?"

However, without the master's magic weapon, theoretically a mortal can easily open it unless there is a spirit in the weapon!
In the secular world of this world, there are rumors from time to time that a mortal picked up an inconspicuous thing in a deep mountain. At first, he thought it was just an ordinary object, but one day he suddenly discovered the magic of the object. In fact, it was a cultivator's magic weapon or something like that. Because the original owner had died, the mark on it lost its restraint and was accidentally activated by a mortal on one occasion!

Seeing this, Long Hun could no longer hold back and said hurriedly,

"I'll do it! I'll do it!" He didn't need any spells to enter the alchemy furnace. He just twisted his body and turned into a wisp of gray smoke and drilled into the air hole. Soon, a rumbling sound was heard from the alchemy furnace.

"call……"

Suddenly, nine flames shot out from the bottom of the alchemy furnace. Gu Shiyi and Pu Yanlan stepped back hurriedly, and saw the nine flames that shot out from the bottom of the furnace suddenly shot up into the air, and then turned into nine firebirds flapping their wings, all looking up at the sky and opening their mouths, but no sound came out. Instead, a dragon's roar was heard from the alchemy furnace, and the nine firebirds instantly turned into nine white smoke and disappeared!
"boom……"

Then the lid of the alchemy furnace flew up, humming in the air, and the dragon soul jumped out from it. Then a shining pill rose from the furnace.
"Huh... there actually are elixirs!"

Gu Shiyi was surprised. Pu Yanlan was even more surprised than her.

"What kind of elixir is this that took so long to refine?"

This... this is not scientific!

When I took a closer look, I was even more surprised.
"This pill isn't even ready yet!"

After saying that, she pointed at the pill that was constantly spinning. Although this fist-sized pill had already taken shape, it could be seen that its surface was covered with a thin layer of sticky medicine juice while spinning. This was because the pill was still absorbing the medicinal properties. It was only the last step, but they had started the furnace ahead of time!

Pu Yanlan was more and more surprised. She raised her hand and a slender white hand appeared on the pill. It gently grabbed it into the hand. When it fell back into her hand, it was a pill with a soft surface and still steaming!

Gu Shiyi came over to take a closer look.
"Eh... this is really weird. What kind of magical elixir is this? It actually took thousands or tens of thousands of years to refine. If I take this, will I fly to the sky immediately?"

This is really unheard of!
wrong!

Pu Yanlan looked at the pill in her hand, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

"No, something's wrong!"

She raised her eyes and looked at Gu Shiyi.

"Eleven, that's not right. It's impossible for this elixir to be refined for thousands of years. I've read so many books on elixirs, but I've never heard of an elixir furnace being able to refine for thousands of years without a master to operate it..."

Gu Shiyi also frowned when he heard this.

"Yan'er...what do you mean?"

Pu Yanlan bit her lip, tilted her head, frowned and shook her head.

"Something is really wrong... How about... let's go back first!"

Seeing her solemn expression, Gu Shiyi knew that she had thought of something, but she hadn't figured it out yet, so he nodded and said,
"If that's the case, let's leave first and discuss it later!"

"it is good!"

The two turned around and were about to leave, but the dragon soul was unwilling to say,
"I've come all this way here, and now I'm only bringing back an unfinished pill. Isn't this a wasted trip?"

After thinking for a while, he turned around and went into the furnace. When the two turned around, they saw nine more flames bursting out of the furnace, transforming into nine fire birds that flew from the bottom of the furnace to the lid.

"boom……"

The nine firebirds drilled into the air holes of the furnace cover and flew back to the top. Then, a rumbling sound was heard and the furnace kept vibrating. Then, it shrank little by little, from a size that was two people tall and that four people couldn't hug, to a small furnace that was only the size of a palm.

"Whoosh..."

The exquisite little alchemy furnace suddenly flew up and rushed towards Pu Yanlan's face. Pu Yanlan quickly reached out to catch it. It also turned into a dragon soul the size of a small earthworm and poked its head out from the opened furnace cover.
"Yan'er, put it away quickly. I have forcibly integrated this furnace and temporarily controlled it..."

As he spoke, the alchemy furnace began to shake violently as if unwillingly, and suddenly it swelled up a bit, and the dragon soul retracted its head.

"Quick! Put it away!"

"Rumble..."

Nine streams of white smoke blew out of the air holes on the furnace cover and shrank again. Pu Yanlan didn't have time to think about it and put the object into her storage bag. Seeing this, Gu Shiyi laughed and said,

"Well, we can't come here empty-handed!"

Pu Yanlan frowned, as if she hadn't figured out something. Gu Shiyi took her hand and said,

"Go out first and then talk!"

Just as the two were about to retreat the same way, they didn't know that in the depths of the cave, in a secret room, someone suddenly opened his eyes and shouted angrily,

"Who... actually took my Nine Flame Furnace!"
