The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

After only waiting for a moment, Liu Kang quickly ran towards this side with a woman.

The woman Liu Kang came to was very young, slightly older than Matthew, and looked about seventeen or eighteen years old.

This girl is wearing a light yellow dress, with fair and pink cheeks and two ponytails. She looks very cute.

"You've been waiting for a long time, little friend Chen. This is my sister, Liu Yuening." After the two of them ran to Matthew, Liu Kang introduced the woman next to him.

"There are so many people here, how can it be quiet?" Matthew nodded slightly to Liu Yuening as a greeting, then looked at Liu Kang and asked.

"Yes, it's not far away. Yue Ning, please take your friend there. I still want to see the stall." Liu Kang knew that what Matthew said would be good for both parties, so he immediately said to Liu Yuening beside him.

When Liu Yuening heard this, she responded softly, and then walked to the side with Matthew.

After walking for a while, the two came to a simple house.

After inviting Matthew to sit down, Liu Yuening took the lead and said, "My brother said you need the materials for the Qi Gathering Pill, twenty spiritual stones per serving, how much do you need."

"Twenty spiritual stones a piece, the price is too high." Upon hearing the price, Matthew immediately frowned and said.

"The materials of the Qi Gathering Pill are no better than other elixirs. The materials usually used are [-] to [-] years old. And all of my materials are at least fifty years old, so the price is naturally more expensive than outside. But the elixir is The quality will definitely not let you down, you can take a look first." After Liu Yuening finished speaking in a hurry, he took out a wooden box from the storage bag and sent it to Matthew.

Use your spiritual consciousness to scan the wooden box and confirm that there is no danger before reaching out and opening the wooden box.

As soon as the wooden box was opened, Matthew immediately smelled the fragrance of herbs.

In the past six months, he had diligently revised the few ancient books he had bought. In addition, he had been refining alchemy for a long time and had a rough judgment on medicinal materials.

He reached out and picked up a elixir in front of him and smelled it. After checking it for a while, he was able to conclude that Liu Yuening was right. This was indeed an elixir that had been around for fifty years.

If it is only used for practicing, the elixir of this age must be a bit of a waste.

But Matthew wanted to refine the Qi Gathering Pill for his own consumption, so naturally the older the elixir was, the better.

The older the elixir is, the better the quality of the elixir will be.

He has also seen in ancient books a method that uses a thousand-year-old elixir as a medicine guide, and there is a [-]% chance that the quality of the medicine can be improved by one level.

"It is true that they are all elixirs that are about fifty years old, but twenty spiritual stones are still a bit expensive. Let's do it this way. I will buy fifty copies for eighteen spiritual stones first." Put the elixir back. Inside the wooden box, after closing the lid, Matthew said slowly.

Liu Yuening did not refute Matthew's quotation, but scratched her head a little embarrassedly and said: "Fifty copies... I can't get this quantity together for the time being. It will take half a month. I only have twenty copies with me now."

"Then buy twenty copies first, and I'll come back in half a month." Matthew took out enough spiritual stones from the storage bag and put them on the table.

After the two completed the transaction, Matthew left first.

He did not go home immediately, but continued to walk around various shops in the city.

"It seems that Liu Yuening is right. The elixirs sold in other shops are all between [-] and [-] years old, and the price is fifteen yuan of spiritual stones." After coming out of the last shop, Ma Ma Xiu muttered in his heart.

He just bought some materials in each store in order to use these materials to practice.

By the way, he also bought some low-grade Qi Gathering Pills. Even if he couldn't refine them for the time being, he could still take the pills.

He knew that if he wanted to refine a new elixir, he would have to go through some trials.

The properties of each elixir are different, and the control of the input time and heat of the medicinal materials are also different. It is impossible to use the same method to make elixirs.

After returning home and taking a short rest, Matthew immediately started trying to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.

Master Wang Xian was only able to refine Qi-nourishing pills at such an old age, so he naturally had no experience with Qi-gathering pills.

First put some spirit stones into the small purple cauldron to make the air mass thicker, and then put the purchased Qi Gathering Pills into it to purify it.

While purifying, Matthew looked at Dan Fangzi carefully again.

After everything at hand was settled, he began to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.

As expected, the first few furnaces all failed.

As usual, Matthew recorded the entire alchemy process and thought about it carefully before continuing.

As he has made some progress in his alchemy skills, sometimes even if the refining fails, he will get some waste elixirs.

These waste elixirs would definitely be useless in the eyes of others, but Matthew had a small purple cauldron.

After throwing some waste elixirs in, you will soon get low-grade Qi Gathering elixirs.

While resting, Matthew tried to take a purified low-grade Qi Gathering Pill.

It was found that even if it was a low-grade Qi Gathering Pill, it was still more effective than a mid-grade Qi Nourishing Pill.

"As expected of an elixir made from elixir, it is very effective. If I use a century-old elixir to refine the elixir, I might be able to produce a higher quality elixir." After refining the elixir, , Matthew said to himself with a satisfied look on his face.

After knowing the effect of the low-grade Qi Gathering Pill, Matthew worked harder to refine the pill.

Soon, all the elixirs purchased in the store were consumed by him.

Although he had the little purple cauldron in his pocket, so that he would not get nothing, Matthew still maintained his full concentration when refining the elixir.

After consuming so much elixir, he finally gained some insights.

Although most of the time what comes out are useless elixirs, occasionally one or two batches of low-grade Qi Gathering elixirs will appear.

Calculating the time, it has only been a few days since I made the elixir, and there are still about ten days before the transaction with Liu Yuening.

Therefore, Matthew decided to take the middle-grade Qi Gathering Pill to attack the bottleneck.

After thinking over and over for the past six months, Matthew knew that even if he got those elixirs, he could successfully join one of the four major sects.

But with his qualifications, even if he entered the sect, he would definitely be a marginal person.

Another point that made him hesitate to join the sect was that with his qualifications, he could only reach the first or second level of Qi Refining in his lifetime.

There must be many old monsters in the sect who have lived for hundreds of years. If they find out about their situation, the secret of the purple cauldron will definitely be exposed.

The purple cauldron is his biggest support on his journey to becoming an immortal, and this secret must never be known to anyone.

In the end, Matthew decided to give up joining the sect and become a casual cultivator.

In addition, he has never forgotten the old man's hatred. If he joins the sect, he must stay away from Wangxian City, otherwise he may never be able to avenge the old man.

When Matthew reached the fourth level of Qi Refining, he had already been secretly inquiring about Liu Xingjian. After learning that the opponent was in seclusion and attacking the seventh level of Qi Refining, Matthew practiced even harder, hoping to surpass him earlier and avenge the old man.
