The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

Seeing that Matthew was still a little reluctant.

Qiu Ke hurriedly conveyed the purpose of his trip to the old man.

After listening to Qiu Ke’s message.

The old man also had an embarrassed look on his face.

After tidying up his clothes, he bowed respectfully and said, "It turns out that fellow Taoist is Xiaoke's savior. This is all a misunderstanding. Why don't you follow me up there and sit down?"

"Okay." Matthew nodded readily and agreed.

Immediately, the three of them continued walking up the bluestone steps.

With the old man in green robe leading the way, the speed was much faster than before.

At the top of the mountain, there are five bamboo houses.

After the three people arrived, they went straight to the largest room in the middle.

When Matthew and the old man entered, Qiu Ke stood obediently at the door and did not follow.

The room was filled with the faint fragrance of vegetation.

After Matthew entered, he just asked a few questions and felt refreshed.

See Matthew looking around curiously.

The old man smiled slightly and said: "The bamboo here is made from the tailings of the Kuzhu bamboo that the old man personally cultivated. Staying here for a long time can make people feel refreshed and clear."

"Ah."

Matthew just nodded slightly this time and didn't say much.

The old man invited Matthew to sit at a bamboo table before he sat down.

After Matthew sat down, he casually threw the silver light he had been holding on the bamboo table.

"I don't know how to call you Sangzhu," the old man asked politely after sitting down.

Matthew only told Qiu Ke that his surname was Chen, but did not tell him his real name.

"Rogue cultivator Chen Ping." Matthew said casually.

This name is very common and popular. Even if Kuzhu Island wants to investigate, it will be in vain.

"Xiao Ke previously promised fellow Taoist to use Soul Condensing Grass as a reward for saving his life. I have no objection to this matter." Sang Zhu continued, regardless of whether the name reported by Xiu Xiu was true or false.

After saying that, he took out a long wooden box from the storage bag and placed it on the bamboo table.

In front of Matthew, Sangzhu opened the wooden box.

Matthew's originally expressionless face finally had a smile after seeing the elixir inside.

What is inside the box is indeed Soul Condensing Grass.

And the year was exactly what he requested.

After Matthew took a few glances, he put away the wooden box and the soul-condensing grass unceremoniously.

After Matthew put away the soul-condensing grass, he did not leave immediately.

Instead, he still sat there and looked at Sang Zhu.

Sang Zhu also knew that there were still things that had not been resolved.

After adjusting his sitting posture, he said: "Although the bamboo soul did not intentionally disturb Daoist Chen before, it did intrude on Fellow Daoist Chen. I also have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and these elixirs are regarded as an apology for this matter."

With that said, Sang Zhu took out three boxes from the storage bag and put them on the table.

This time the box is made of bamboo and has a light bamboo fragrance.

This was what Matthew was waiting for.

He was not polite and opened the three bamboo boxes directly.

After identifying the three elixirs placed in the box, Matthew also showed a look of satisfaction on his face.

These three elixirs are all thousands of years old.

This Sangzhu is really generous.

After putting away the three boxes, Matthew waved his arm and the silver light dissipated.

After the wisp of green energy escaped from the trap, it immediately floated towards Sangzhu.

"This time I have taught you a lesson. You will not dare to do this again in the future."

Sang Zhu said distressedly, but a gray bamboo tube appeared in his hand to absorb the green energy.

"Guidao is famous for cultivating elixirs. Chen needs some elixirs. I wonder if Fellow Taoist Sangzhu is interested in doing this deal." After seeing the old man put away the gray bamboo tube, Matthew said.

"To be fair to fellow Taoists, this island does have a batch of elixirs ready to be sold outside. However, what we need to exchange is not the elixirs, but the elixirs." Sang Zhu said with a smile.

"Shouldn't your island have alchemists? Why do you need to exchange elixirs with the outside world?" Matthew asked.

"Alas, there were originally three alchemists on this island, but there were no successors. Two of them have exhausted their lifespan and passed away, and the remaining one was seriously injured when he encountered a strong enemy while going out to look for items. Although with a large number of The elixir barely survived, and it is almost impossible to make another elixir." Sang Zhu said after sighing softly.

After listening to Sang Zhu's words, Matthew immediately thought of the time when Qiu Ke asked him to refine the Tianxiang Life-Sustaining Pill.

Naturally, he would not tell this matter.

But another idea came to mind.

"I have some experience in alchemy, and I happen to have some elixirs on hand. Fellow Taoist, you might as well take a look."

As he spoke, Matthew took out a dozen jade bottles from the storage bag and placed them on the table.

When Sang Zhu saw Matthew taking out so many bottles at once, a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

He reached out and grabbed a jade bottle, opened it, and poured out the elixir inside.

"Mid-grade elixir!"

After a brief inspection, Sang Zhu showed a look of surprise on his face.

Based on his experience, he could naturally tell that he had an elixir in his hand that was suitable for the early stages of elixir formation.

Immediately, he opened all the remaining jade bottles.

After checking them one by one, I found that all the pills here were middle-grade pills.

At this point, he was able to confirm that Matthew sincerely wanted to make a deal with him.
