The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Shopkeeper Hou, who was holding the Black Gold Stone, had a look of embarrassment on his face after being told such straightforward words by Matthew.

This piece of black gold stone is so big that it can be used to refine more than ten magic weapons after cutting it.

After all, not every magic weapon needs to be mixed with the entire black gold stone when refining it, most of them only need to be mixed with a part.

"Hey, Hou Mou made a mistake. After a closer look, the quality of this black gold stone is indeed very good, and there are few impurities in it. Hou Mou made a mistake before, so this black gold stone will be replaced by this gilded flying shield. Okay." Shopkeeper Hou hesitated for a moment and then said.

Both the gilded flying shield and the Mitian Bell have been placed in the Wanbao Tower for a long time. People who occasionally ask about them are scared away by the price.

Now it's rare that someone is willing to ask for it, and they also offer black gold stones of equal value, so shopkeeper Hou plans to facilitate the deal.

"Okay." Matthew nodded in agreement.

"What about the Mitian Bell?" After both parties completed the transaction and each took what they needed, shopkeeper Hou pointed at the Mitian Bell and asked.

"Li doesn't have enough spirit stones to buy this thing. Let's wait until later." After Matthew finished speaking, he stood up and left.

Although it feels a bit pity, shopkeeper Hou can understand it.

"Fellow Daoist Li, our store will hold an auction in three months. This is a VIP ticket. If you are interested, you can come and sit down." When the two came to the door, shopkeeper Hou suddenly grabbed Matthew and said.

After speaking, he also handed a golden plaque to Matthew.

Matthew took a look at the sign and saw the word Wanbao on the front and the word VIP on the back.

"Okay, I'll come and take a look when I have time." Matthew nodded with a smile after putting away his VIP badge.

After watching Matthew leave, shopkeeper Hou returned to the back hall thoughtfully.

Although it was a pity not to buy the Mitian Bell, if it caused more trouble, it would be more than worth the gain.

It took some time to replace some of the monster materials on my body with spirit stones.

When he returned to the inn, he began to continue practicing quietly.

Matthew is a little interested in the auction that shopkeeper Hou mentioned, maybe something he likes will appear there.

And if you want to participate in the auction, you must have a strong net worth.

Matthew thought for a moment. It was neither time-consuming nor dangerous to go out to sea to hunt monsters. It would be better to spend some time refining some elixirs and sell them in exchange for spiritual stones.

The inner elixir Wu Han gave him can already allow him to refine the Hunyuan Dan.

But there was only enough material for one serving, so Matthew didn’t dare to make it rashly yet.

He still has a lot of monster materials on his body, which can be used to refine some foundation-building elixirs.

After the Wu brothers and sisters stayed in the inn, they never bothered him again.

Matthew didn't have the time to care about those two people and spent all day refining the elixir in the room.

After refining a batch of elixirs, he went out in disguise and sold the elixirs in batches to various shops in the city.

There are very few people among casual cultivators who can refine elixirs, and elixirs from the foundation-building stage are also extremely popular in the city.

When Matthew sold all the pills in his hand, it actually caused a small sensation.

Some people speculated that an alchemy master came to the city, and these good-quality elixirs all flowed from that master's hands.

There are even people in the city seeking information about the new monks who have arrived in Tianshan City in recent days.

No matter how these people inquire, how do they know that the so-called master they call is just an unknown person living in an inn.

Every time Matthew sells the elixir, he will also purchase another batch of materials.

He is very cautious and never stays in one place for long after making a deal.

He was already familiar with Tianshan City and could take a shortcut to another street in a short time.

Sometimes, after completing the transaction, Matthew would go directly out of the city.

This is not because he is too cautious, but every time he goes out, he will let the purple-striped insects explore to see if there are any ores underground.

Tianshan City has been standing for so long again, and the ore on the surface has long been dug out.

Each time, the purple-striped worm has to dive deep into the ground to gain anything.

Matthew also discovered that the ore brought out by the purple-striped worms every time was very large.

Small ores were never brought back.

Slowly, Matthew guessed that this might be because those small ore purple-striped insects didn't like it.

In order to confirm his conjecture, Matthew gave the Purple Striped Insect an order to bring up all the ores regardless of size within the sneaking range.

After trying, the purple-striped insect indeed brought back some small ores.

The Purple Striped Insects looked down on these small minerals, but Matthew took them all as ordered. For him, even if he didn't use these minerals, he could get a good price by exchanging them for spiritual stones.

However, after trying a few times, the Purple Striped Insect showed signs of resistance and seemed to be repelling the small ore.

In this regard, Matthew was also a little helpless. He didn't have the ability to find purple-striped insects. If he did, he could dive down and look for them by himself.

Tianshan Island is so big, and there are a lot of ores hidden underneath. Even if the purple-striped worms search for it day and night, it will take a long time.

Simply, Matthew found a place to stay outside, and asked the purple-striped insects to search for ores while he was refining the elixir, so as not to waste time.
