The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

After hearing Wu Kun's words, Matthew's face showed no reaction, but his heart was churning.

He originally thought that it was already remarkable to have a Yuanying cultivator in this village, but he never thought there was another one.

"This person should be here to monitor me." Matthew responded softly.

"No, I didn't find any trace of this person before, and he only appeared today." Wu Kun gave a different answer.

Matthew couldn't guess the thoughts of a Yuanying cultivator, so he just had to do his job honestly.

When he came to a shop with spiritual medicine hanging at the door, Matthew immediately smelled the rich aroma of medicine.

Those rare hundred-year spiritual medicines outside were thrown on the ground casually, which made Matthew feel wasteful.

"This is the new alchemy master." After Matthew came in, the shopkeeper inside immediately greeted him warmly and said.

"My surname is Ma, and I know a little about alchemy." Matthew said modestly.

"Master Ma is too modest. You refined a golden marrow pill for Xiong Ba a few days ago. Everyone in the village knows about this." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"I came here today to buy some spiritual medicines. See if you can gather all the spiritual medicines on it." Ma Xiu didn't want to say more about those things, so he took out a piece of paper that he had written in advance and handed it to the shopkeeper.

After taking the paper and opening it, the shopkeeper just glanced at it for a few times and said, "We have them all in our store, and there are quite a few. How many do you need, Master Ma?"

"What do you usually use as exchange?" Ma Xiu asked.

He remembered that people here almost didn't use spiritual stones, and almost all of them were bartering.

"Others naturally exchanged with spiritual medicines of equal value, and if Master Ma wants, he can also exchange with pills." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Oh, what pills do you want?" Ma Xiu also smiled.

From the shopkeeper's enthusiastic attitude when he saw him, it can be seen that this person must want to get some pills from him.

As long as it is not too troublesome, such as the Golden Marrow Pill, Matthew can agree to the other party.

"A list of spiritual medicines in exchange for a Bigu Pill." The shopkeeper said with a turn of his eyes.

"You want Bigu Pill?" Now, it was Matthew's turn to be surprised.

The lowest age of the spiritual medicines on his list was eighty years old, but the other party only wanted one Bigu Pill.

Outside, the value of Bigu Pills is the lowest among all the pills.

"Yes, even though we run a shop, most of the spiritual medicines need to be picked outside. Each time we go out for as short as ten days and half a month, and as long as one or two months. For us mortals, the most important thing about picking spiritual medicines outside is to fill our stomachs. So, I want to exchange some Bigu Pills from the master." The shopkeeper explained after rubbing his hands.

Since the other party said so, Matthew would not feel guilty at all. He took out a large bottle of low-grade Bigu Pills from the storage bag and exchanged for a large bag of spiritual medicines.

Both parties were very satisfied with this transaction. Matthew put away the bag and left.

Matthew, feeling that he had made a lot of money, then entered another shop.

He also happily exchanged the Bigu Pills for a large amount of spiritual medicine.

Unfortunately, there were only two shops selling spiritual medicine in the village.

He still had a lot of Bigu Pills, and Matthew planned to come back to exchange them after a while.

When he came out of the second shop, he saw an old woman holding a cane standing in front of him.

"This is the Yuanying monk who followed you." Wu Kun said lightly.

"Hello, senior." Matthew bowed and saluted.

"Do you have time to chat with me?" The old woman said kindly.

"Please lead the way, senior." The Yuanying monk took the initiative to ask to talk to him, and what right did Matthew have to refuse.

The place where the old woman wanted Matthew to go was not far away, just in an alley next to it.

After entering the alley, the old woman took Matthew into a small house.

The small house was very clean, without a trace of dust, and it looked like someone lived there often.

"This is my residence. Please sit down wherever you like." The old woman said after bringing Matthew into the hall.

Matthew didn't dare to sit down, and stood straight.

Seeing that Matthew didn't sit down, the old woman didn't force him. She sat down and said, "I heard from the girl that you can refine a higher quality agarwood pill?"

Matthew was slightly stunned by the old woman's words.

He didn't expect that the other party brought him here just for the agarwood pill.

"To reply to the senior, I am sure that I can refine a higher quality agarwood pill. However, the age of the main ingredient agarwood leaves must be at least a hundred years old." Matthew replied softly.

Agarwood leaves are not only the main ingredient for refining agarwood pills, but also an auxiliary ingredient for Dingji Pills.

"I have three thousand-year-old agarwood leaves here. Do you have the confidence to refine a top-grade agarwood pill!" The old woman smiled and said.

"Thousand years!" Matthew asked with wide eyes.

He had only heard of the thousand-year-old elixir but had never seen it, so it was normal for him to be so surprised.

"Yes." The old woman nodded, took out a wooden box from the storage bag and handed it to Matthew.

Carefully taking the wooden box, Matthew saw three palm-sized emerald green leaves lying inside after opening it.

After the wooden box was opened, a strong fragrance wafted out.

"Don't look at it, all three are about 1,500 years old and picked from the same tree." It was the first time that Matthew saw the thousand-year-old elixir. When he kept looking at it, Wu Kun's somewhat impatient voice sounded.

After closing the wooden box and taking a deep breath, Matthew said, "To refine a top-grade agarwood pill, in addition to the main medicine being old, the other auxiliary medicines must also be at least a hundred years old."

"The box has two layers, and the lower layer is for auxiliary medicines." The old woman seemed to have guessed that Matthew would say this, and pointed to the box after he finished speaking.

Matthew was slightly stunned, and then opened the wooden box again.

When he moved a piece of agarwood leaf to the side, he really saw a rope ring.

Pulling the rope ring, he easily pulled up the upper layer.

There were many spiritual medicines placed below, and there were three of the same spiritual medicines, each of which was about two hundred years old.

"The spiritual medicines here should be enough for you to refine a top-grade agarwood pill." The old woman chuckled.

"At least 80% of the time, it can be completed." Matthew did not dare to say too much, so he said the most suitable success rate.

"I only need one. If you are capable enough, the remaining materials will be considered as a reward." Matthew said after closing the wooden box again.

"Junior will definitely do his best." Matthew bowed and said.

It has come to this point, and it is too late to refuse.

He did not want to offend a Nascent Soul cultivator because of this matter, so he readily agreed.
