The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

After coming out of the old woman's place, Matthew went straight to the alchemy room.

After closing the door and turning on the psychedelic array, Matthew took out the yellow smoke stove after sorting out the elixir.

He did not immediately start refining agarwood pills, but planned to try to refine a furnace of Biying Pills first.

After all, this thing is the key to improving your cultivation.

As for the agarwood pills, the old woman didn't say when she would take them, so she should hold off for now if she can.

Matthew has long memorized the steps for refining Biying Dan.

Everything went smoothly. When the yellow smoke slowly floated out, the magic formula in Matthew's hand changed.

The fire of the earth's lungs instantly enveloped the entire alchemy furnace.

After waiting for about five breaths, the flames dissipated and a strong medicinal fragrance floated out.

Matthew couldn't wait to open the furnace lid and saw five pills lying inside the furnace.

Taking out one and putting it in front of him for inspection, Matthew secretly thought it was a pity.

Using such a good elixir, he was only able to refine a low-grade elixir, which really made him a little disappointed.

After throwing the five Biying pills into the purple cauldron for purification, Matthew took out a book and wrote down all the steps he had just taken to refine the pill.

Unknowingly, Matthew had been staying in this village for more than a year.

Matthew has been very honest since he came in. Except for occasionally going out to buy some elixirs in the village, he has almost never left the alchemy room.

This made those who were monitoring him in the dark gradually relax their vigilance.

After possessing a large number of high-grade elixirs, Matthew's alchemy skills have become increasingly skilled.

In more than a year, he has refined elixirs for almost every cultivator in the village.

Moreover, Matthew did not have too stringent requirements for remuneration when refining elixirs for them.

Often the name of an elixir is mentioned casually, and the year is roughly mentioned.

After these hours of contact, everyone had more or less goodwill toward Matthew.

Especially Na Baoya, after Matthew refined several pills for her, she became more and more enthusiastic towards him.

After taking a large amount of Biying Pill, his cultivation has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and he is only one step away from the thirteenth level.

In addition, over the past year or so, he also collected some very old spiritual trees to use in making spiritual armor.

On this day, the refining of a furnace of elixirs had just been completed.

As soon as Matthew went out, he saw Bao Ya appearing riding a yellow shadow leopard.

After handing the elixir to the person waiting at the door, Matthew smiled and said, "Miss Bao, are there any more elixirs to refine today?"

"Did you refine a batch of high-quality agarwood pills for Granny Jinhua?" Bao Ya asked with a frown.

"Yes, did she give you the elixir?" Matthew nodded and admitted.

"No, she took it herself and became more than ten years younger than before." Bao Ya curled her lips and said.

Likewise, Matthew also grew his mouth.

He always thought that the old woman was refining the high-grade agarwood pills to give to Bao Ya. Because of this, he had been worrying about this for a long time, and had been planning how to use Bao Ya to get the fragment.

But he didn't expect that the old woman was refining elixir for herself.

"I finally collected the same ingredients as Grandma Jinhua, and I would like to ask you to refine it for me." Seeing Matthew's surprised look, Bao Ya said with a smile.

"High-quality agarwood pills are not made just by refining them. Granny Jinhua gave me three ingredients last time, and I just made one." Matthew shook his head and said.

In fact, he did not tell the truth to Bao Ya.

Although it was true that the last batch of refining high-grade agarwood pills failed, in the second batch, he refined a medium-grade agarwood pill, purified it with a purple tripod, and then sent it to the commission.

After listening to Matthew's words, the smile on Bao Ya's face disappeared.

"It doesn't matter, you just have to refine it. Even if you can't refine the top grade, I can still accept the middle grade." Bao Ya said after thinking for a moment.

Seeing this, Matthew couldn't say anything more.

"What elixir do you want for this reward?"

Every time someone comes to Matthew to make alchemy, he will make some requests, and every request is for elixir. This has become a well-known rule in the village.

"This time, I don't want the elixir, I want something else." Matthew said after a moment of silence.

"What?" Bao Ya asked curiously.

"When I went to the treasure house last time, I saw a purple fragment and was a little curious about it. If you can get that thing, I am willing to do my best to refine it for you." Matthew knew it was time to reveal his secret. The purpose, if I don’t tell you, I don’t know how long it will take.

"Fragments?" Seeing Matthew's strange request this time, Bao Ya also frowned.

She had no impression of the fragments Matthew mentioned.

"It's on the shelf where we got the alchemy furnace." Seeing Bao Ya's confused look, Matthew had no choice but to remind him.

"Oh, I remembered, why do you want that thing? It has been in the treasure house for a long time, and no one knows its use yet." After being reminded by Matthew, Bao Ya suddenly said.

"The techniques I practiced before were obtained from fragments like this. Now there is no follow-up technique. I want to see if the fragment is what I need." Matthew explained the reason he had thought about for a long time.

"It's useless to leave that thing there. It shouldn't be difficult to take it out. I'll ask first." Bao Ya said after thinking for a moment.

After saying that, she drove Huang Yingbao away.

After Bao Ya left, Matthew's expression changed slightly and he immediately entered the alchemy room.

As soon as he patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, a black insect flew out from it.

This was just the bug that came here with him before. It was originally only the size of a fingernail. Over the past year or so, it had grown to the size of a fist after being continuously fed with spirit feeding pills by Matthew.

What gave Matthew a headache was that the bug became more and more violent as it grew up, constantly trying to come out of the spirit beast bag.

Moreover, his appetite is getting bigger and bigger. In the past few days, he only needed to feed a few Spirit Feeding Pills.

Now we have to feed more than a dozen a day, and sometimes it’s not enough.

After the bug came out, it flew around Matthew for a while, and finally landed on the pile of unprocessed medicine residue on the ground.

In just a few breaths, all the medicinal residue on the ground had been eaten up by the insects.

Still a little dissatisfied, the insect held a piece of spiritual wood and chewed it for a while before falling asleep leisurely.

"What is the origin of this insect, and why is it so edible?" Matthew said to himself, rubbing his brows in distress.

In order to know the origin of this insect, Matthew had gone through all the books related to monster insects, but could not find any useful information.

"Wukun, do you know the origin of this insect?" After contacting Wukun, Matthew asked.

Before today, he had deliberately concealed the existence of the bug from Wu Kun, and the other party had never known that there was such a bug on Matthew.
