The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

"Go find out the price of the elixir here. I currently have rejuvenation elixir, fasting elixir, and nourishing elixir." Matthew looked around and said to Li Mu.

"No problem, I'll go now."

Li Mu wanted to directly tell him the price he knew, but seeing Matthew's look, he immediately understood that Matthew wanted to act alone.

Li Mu was a smart man, and he left immediately after knowing Matthew's thoughts.

After sending Li Mu away, Matthew walked around here slowly alone.

After walking for a while, Matthew walked into a small house called Listening to the Wind House.

The furnishings inside were simple, with a half-exposed table and a chair.

There was a bamboo sign on the table, and the situation inside could not be seen clearly.

"I can provide information about various things in the door, and each piece of information is sold for five spirit stones." A man's voice came from behind the bamboo raft.

As he spoke, the table in front of Matthew sank a bit.

Under his gaze, an iron box emerged from the gap.

There was a piece of paper and a pen in the iron box.

After Matthew sat down, he wrote down what he wanted to find out.

After putting the paper and pen back into the iron box, he took out five spiritual stones and put them inside.

The iron box was taken back and the table returned to its original appearance.

"This news was obtained half a month ago, and what happened after that is not included in the news." When the iron box appeared again, the man's voice also appeared at the same time.

Matthew took out a page of paper from the iron box, looked at it for a few times, and then put it away.

After coming out of the Tingfeng House, Matthew continued to stroll around.

As Li Mu said, there are really few huts selling spiritual medicines here.

Even if you see one, the medicines sold inside are all some bigu pills and the like.

After strolling for a while, Matthew and Li Mu returned to Sunset Peak.

Arriving at the residence, Matthew said to Li Mu: "I have 300 rejuvenation pills, 200 fasting pills and 200 nourishing pills, all of which are low-grade. I will go to make pills for Master Zhu in a while, so I don't have time to sell the pills. I'll leave this to you. I won't let you work for nothing. We will split the pills 20% and 80% respectively. Of course, the pills you make yourself belong to you after you sell them."

"Can I really get 20%?" Li Mu asked with some surprise.

He originally thought that Matthew would give him 10% at most, or even not 10%, just a little commission.

The 20% dividend was indeed beyond his expectations, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"It takes time for you to sell the pills. Our time as cultivators is very precious, and 20% is not much." Matthew said calmly.

Although Li Mu was a bit scheming, he had no ill will towards him. Matthew was now alone in Qingyu Valley and had to develop his own power to some extent. Now was the best time to win over Li Mu.

"Thank you, Senior Brother. However, I also need to refine pills for a while. This..." Li Mu thanked him.

"It's okay. The pills won't go bad if you keep them with you. I'll leave them with you first. You can sell them when you have time." Ma Xiu waved his hand generously.

After the two discussed the sale of pills in detail for a while, Li Mu said goodbye and left.

After seeing Li Mu off, Ma Xiu closed the door and went into the house to rest.

When he woke up with full energy, he began to meditate and practice.

Before meditating, Ma Xiu took out the paper he got from Tingfeng House.

It was about Liu Xingjian's news.

Although the two entered Qingyu Valley at the same time, Ma Xiu knew nothing about him.

The content on the paper was not good news for Ma Xiu.

Because Liu Xingjian had dual spiritual roots, Yun Fuzi accepted him as a registered disciple after he entered the sect.

Moreover, Yun Fuzi also said that if Liu Xingjian could successfully build a foundation before the age of 30, he would be accepted as a direct disciple.

Whether it is a registered disciple or a direct disciple, Liu Xingjian has the support of a late Jindan cultivator behind him, which makes Matthew feel a little complicated.

He also admitted that he thought things were too simple and completely ignored Liu Xingjian's qualifications.

But Matthew would not give up revenge because of Liu Xingjian's current status. Instead, it inspired him to fight even harder.

Matthew still has some Qi Ju Dan on him, which is enough to support him to practice for a while.

With Matthew's qualifications, it is a bit unrealistic for him to rely on those Qi Ju Dan to improve his cultivation to the seventh level of Qi Refining.

Yesterday, Matthew asked Li Mu to find out how to get spiritual medicine in the sect.

Li Mu thought that Matthew was very concerned about getting spiritual stones, and he patted his chest and agreed.

Unknowingly, a month passed.

According to the agreement, Matthew went to Zhu Que's residence on this day to receive the alchemy task.

What disappointed Matthew was that the task was to refine 3,000 Bigu Pills.

In order to leave a good impression in Zhu Que's heart, Matthew still took the task.

Zhu Que did fulfill his duties as a master. After explaining the task, he not only gave Matthew some detoxification pills, but also patiently explained some of his experience in alchemy.

He said whatever he thought of, but Matthew listened very seriously, remembering every word Zhu Que said.

It took Matthew nearly three months to refine three thousand fasting pills.

When he delivered a sufficient number of fasting pills to Zhu Que, he implicitly expressed his desire to refine higher quality pills.

"What is the success rate of your pill refining this time?" Zhu Que has lived for more than a hundred years, so he naturally understood what Matthew meant and asked immediately.

"Master, I can basically keep it around 80% this time." Matthew replied seriously.

Since he said that he wanted to refine a higher-level pill, he must let Zhu Que know that he has the ability.

Matthew did not lie about the 80% success rate. In fact, if he used the purple small tripod, Matthew could even guarantee a 95% success rate.

However, such words were too scary and might even arouse Zhu Que's suspicion.

"With the time you have been in contact with pill refining, an 80% chance is already very high, at least higher than when I was young." Zhu Que did not doubt Matthew's words.

With his eyesight, he could roughly judge it just by looking at the pills provided by Matthew.

"How about this, I will assign you some tasks for refining Qi Ju Dan next month." Zhu Que said after thinking for a while.

"Okay!" Matthew was happy and smiled.

He urgently needs Qi-gathering pills to improve his cultivation, and all the things he said before are for this purpose.

"Oh, right. This storage bag is filled with waste pills. Please help me take them to the waste pill room inside the sect." Seeing that Matthew was about to leave, Zhu Que took a storage bag from his waist and threw it to Matthew.

"Waste pill room? Shouldn't waste pills be destroyed directly? Why is there a place for waste pills?" Matthew took the storage bag and scanned it with his spiritual sense, and found that there were no less than 10,000 waste pills in it.

"The founder of our sect is a master of alchemy. This is the rule he set. Every alchemist in the sect must follow the ancestral teachings. Originally, this kind of thing was done by me personally, but I am about to refine a furnace of important pills, so you will do it for me." When Zhu Que said this, a trace of helplessness appeared on his face. Obviously, from his appearance, he also felt that it was useless to store waste pills.
