The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

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

He originally thought that having a Nascent Soul cultivator in this village was already a big deal, but he never thought that there was another one.

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

"It's not like there was no trace of this person before. He just appeared today." Wu Kun gave a different answer.

Matthew could never guess what the Yuanying monk was thinking, so he just had to do things honestly.

Arriving at a shop with a elixir hanging at the door, Matthew immediately smelled the strong aroma of the medicine.

Those hundred-year-old elixirs that were rare outside were thrown on the ground casually, which made Matthew scream in his heart that it was a waste.

"This must be the new alchemy master." After Matthew came in, the shopkeeper immediately greeted him enthusiastically and said.

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

"Master Ma is so humble. You refined a golden marrow pill for Xiong Ba a few days ago. Everyone in the village knows about it," the shopkeeper said with a smile.

"I came here today to buy some elixirs. See if I can get all the elixirs here." Matthew didn't want to talk more about those things, so he took out a piece of paper written in advance and handed it to the shopkeeper.

After taking the paper and opening it, after just looking at it for a few times, the shopkeeper said: "We have them all in our store, and there are quite a lot of them. How many will Master Ma need?"

"What do you usually exchange for?" Matthew asked.

He remembered that almost people here did not use spirit stones, and almost all used things in exchange for things.

"Others' words are naturally exchanged for elixirs of equal value. If Master Ma wants it, he can also exchange it for elixirs." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

"Oh, what kind of elixir do you want?" Matthew also smiled.

From the enthusiastic attitude shown by the shopkeeper 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, Matthew can agree to the pills such as Golden Marrow Pills.

"A list of elixirs in exchange for a Bigu Pill." The shopkeeper said with a roll of his eyes.

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

The lowest age of the elixirs on his list was eighty years, but the other party only needed one Bigu Pill.

Outside, Bigu Pill has the lowest value among all elixirs.

"Yes, even if we open a shop, most of the elixirs need to be picked out. Each trip can be as short as ten days and a half, or as long as one or two months. For us mortals, it is very difficult to go out to pick the elixirs. The most important thing about medicine is to fill your stomach. 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 didn't feel guilty at all. He took out a large bottle of low-grade Bigu Pill from the storage bag and exchanged it for a large baggage of elixir.

Both parties were satisfied with the transaction, so Matthew put the baggage away and left.

Matthew, who felt like he had made a lot of money, then entered another shop.

He also happily exchanged Bigu Pill for a large number of elixirs.

Unfortunately, there are only two shops selling elixirs in the village.

He still has a lot of Bigu Pills on him, and Matthew plans to come back to change them again 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 Nascent Soul cultivator who is following you." Wu Kun said calmly.

"I've met senior." Matthew bowed and saluted.

"Can you have time to chat with me for a while?" the old woman said kindly.

"Senior, please lead the way." Monk Nascent Soul took the initiative to ask to talk to him, so what right did Matthew have to refuse?

The place where the old woman wanted Matthew to go was not very far, just in a nearby alley.

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

The cabin was clean, without a trace of dust, and looked like it had been regularly inhabited.

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

Matthew didn't dare to sit down, he stood straight on the spot.

Seeing that Matthew didn't sit down, the old woman didn't force herself. After sitting down, she said, "I heard from the girl that you can refine agarwood elixir with higher quality?"

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

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

"Returning to the seniors, I am indeed certain that I can refine a higher quality agarwood pill. However, the main ingredient, agarwood leaves, must be at least a hundred years old." Matthew replied softly.

Agarwood leaves are not only the main ingredient in refining the Agarwood Pill, but also the auxiliary ingredient in the Dingji Pill.

"I have three thousand-year-old agarwood leaves here. Are you confident in refining a high-grade agarwood pill?" the old woman said with a slight smile.

"Thousand years!" Matthew asked with wide eyes.

He had only heard of the millennium elixir but had never seen it before, so it was normal to be so surprised.

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

After carefully taking the wooden box, Matthew opened it and saw three palm-sized emerald green leaves lying inside.

After opening the wooden box, a strong fragrance wafted out.

"Don't look at it. The three pieces are all about [-] years old. They were picked from the same tree." This was the first time Matthew saw the thousand-year-old elixir. As he kept looking at it, Wu Kun Some impatient voices sounded.

After closing the wooden box and taking a deep breath, Matthew said: "If you want to refine a high-grade agarwood pill, in addition to the main ingredient being old, the other auxiliary ingredients must be at least a hundred years old."

"The box has two layers, and the lower layer contains auxiliary medicines." The old woman seemed to have guessed what Matthew would say. After he finished speaking, she pointed to the box and said.

After Matthew was stunned for a moment, he opened the wooden box again.

When he moved an agarwood leaf to the side, he saw a rope ring.

Pulling the rope loop, the upper layer was easily pulled up by him.

Below, there are many elixirs placed. There are three strains of the same elixir, each of which is about two hundred years old.

"The elixir here should be enough for you to refine a high-grade agarwood pill." The old woman chuckled.

"There is at least [-]% certainty that it can be completed." Matthew did not dare to speak too fully, so he gave the most appropriate rate of elixir formation.

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

"Junior must do his best." Matthew bowed and said.

At this point, it's already too late to refuse.

He didn't want to offend a Nascent Soul cultivator because of this matter, so he readily agreed.
