Long Chen completely changed his previous style; now serious, he exuded endless composure, fully displaying the demeanor of a master.
"I destroyed two sets of rare medicines because I was in a hurry and didn't want you to show off your so-called alchemy skills in front of me.
Now, each of us only has one rare herb left. If you have any real skills, show them. Long Chen said calmly.
"In that case, let me see your brilliant moves."
The anger and arrogance on Ye Qian's face finally disappeared. At this moment, he finally understood that Long Chen, like him, had absolute confidence. If he continued to be arrogant and conceited, he might end up losing in the end.
"Buzz!"
Ye Qian waved his hand, and an ancient, simple pill furnace appeared before everyone. As soon as the furnace appeared, the alchemy disciples present couldn't help but cheer.
"It's the Dragon and Phoenix Universe Furnace. This is a supreme treasure from the ancient immortal era. Today, I finally have the honor to see its true form."
The disciples of the Divine Pill Hall all wore expressions of envy. As soon as the pill furnace appeared, faint sounds like dragons and phoenixes could be heard. Even heaven and earth were stirred by its appearance, and endless power of the Heavenly Dao trembled.
This was an extremely ancient divine furnace, a supreme treasure of the alchemy path. For a pill cultivator to possess such a furnace, refining pills would be twice as effective with half the effort.
"Show me your pill furnace. If you don't have a good one, I don't mind giving you a taste." Ye Qian said coldly.
Although Long Chen already saw Long Chen as a rival, Long Chen had tricked him three times in a row. The first time cost him twenty million points, and the second and third times caused him to fail at alchemy, leaving him utterly humiliated.
Plus, when he had been choked by the Divine Clan treasury earlier, he couldn't let go of his anger, and every word he spoke was full of mockery.
"I really don't have any good pill furnaces. Why don't you give me one first?" Long Chen said with a mocking expression.
After saying that, Long Chen couldn't be bothered to argue with the fool anymore. With a wave of his large hand, a rusty pill furnace appeared.
As soon as the pill furnace appeared, the hall fell silent, then the disciples of the Divine Pill Hall burst into laughter.
"What a pauper, actually comparing such a rusty pill furnace to Senior Brother Ye Qian's home. Why doesn't he bring out the chamber pot from home too?"
For a moment, the disciples of the Divine Clan once again mocked her. Feng Fei couldn't help but frown once more. The maid beside her was about to stand up.
"Forget it, these fools don't even know it's a priceless treasure. Soon they'll realize how blind they were." Feng Fei shook her head and stopped the maid. Although she was far away, she had already seen the extraordinary nature of the pill furnace.
When Long Chen's rusty pill furnace appeared, even the elders of the Divine Pill Hall were stunned. What did Long Chen mean by deliberately humiliating the Divine Pill Hall with a broken furnace?
Only the Lord of the Pill Lord, upon seeing the pill furnace, couldn't help but tremble, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace?" Could this be true? The pill master actually stood up and slowly walked toward Long Chen.
"Senior, you actually know the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace?" This time, Long Chen was shocked; he hadn't expected someone to recognize such an ancient artifact.
"Of course I do. How could I not recognize the Moon Refining Star Furnace, the top of the ten great pill furnaces in ancient times?" The Pill Master stepped forward, gently touching the Moon Furnace and sighing:
"Ancient records state that the last master of the Moon Furnace, Yan Qingsheng, participated in the Emperor War. The great master of the alchemy Yan Qingsheng fell, and the Furnace was shattered.
Unexpectedly, the ancient records were incorrect. The Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace was still there, but it looked severely damaged. Although the artifact soul was gradually awakening, it would take a very, very long time to fully recover. "
He hadn't expected the Pill Master to recognize the Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace at a glance. Moreover, this was the first time Long Chen had heard that the Moon Furnace was the top of the ten ancient pill furnaces. He hadn't expected the Moon Furnace to be even more impressive than he had imagined."
However, the soul of the Molten Moon Star Refining Furnace had just awakened and could only communicate briefly with Long Chen. Long Chen couldn't talk to it too much, and too much communication was feared of damaging its origin. After all, the artifact spirit was different from humans, and communication was very difficult.
Who would have thought that the pill furnace bought from the Mechanism Sect at a bargain price in the Eastern family would have such a terrifying origin. This time, they really made a huge profit.
"Long Chen, if you are interested in transferring, our Divine Pill Hall will surprise you with the price." The master of the Divine Pill Hall was somewhat tempted and spoke.
As soon as the Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall spoke, Long Chen's expression changed instantly, murderous intent surging in his eyes.
"Whew!"
Long Chen grabbed the Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall by the collar and shouted coldly, "If you've got guts, try repeating what you just said!" Long
Chen suddenly turned hostile, startling everyone. He had just been fine a moment ago, so how could he suddenly turn hostile? And Long Chen didn't know that the person before him was the Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall.
Long Chen grabbed the Hall Master's neck with his right hand, his left hand on his chest. A terrifying energy trembled in his palm. If Long Chen moved, the Hall Master would instantly turn into a mist of blood.
The master of the Divine Pill Hall was both shocked and furious. He was only asking Long Chen if he wanted to sell it, but Long Chen acted like he was crazy. He didn't dare resist, afraid that this madman would kill him, and that would truly bring him to death.
Alchemy cultivators are not martial cultivators; their bodies are extremely weak, and their combat experience is pitifully limited. Even if their cultivation reaches the fourth step of the Tongming Realm, at such close range, Long Chen can kill them with a wave of his hand.
Seeing the Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall fall into Long Chen's hands, all the strong figures present changed their expressions. They all summoned their weapons, ready to surround them.
"Don't move!"
The Pill Master shouted coldly, causing everyone to stop in their tracks. Then he said to Long Chen, "Long Chen, I'm sorry. He's not a martial artist and doesn't understand the rules. Could you forgive him for this old man's sake?" Almost
everyone could hardly believe their ears. The Pill Master was way too weak—how could he be so tolerant of Long Chen, and even apologize? Is this world crazy?
Long Chen's face darkened. He loosened his grip and pushed the Divine Pill Hall Master aside, saying coldly, "Today, I'll give you some face, Lord Dan. Otherwise, even if the Divine Clan leader comes, I will kill you." The
Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall broke free and was furious: "You..."
The Pill Master snorted coldly and said, "What do you mean by 'you'?" Do you know that our Divine Clan's pill furnaces are all inherited from tradition? You have no idea about the rules outside.
A spiritual pill furnace like the Moon Refining Star Furnace rarely chooses a master. Once chosen, unless the master dies, it will never seek the next one.
The owner of the pill furnace is the same, treating it as a family and beloved person, and even risking his life to protect it.
You don't understand anything, yet you actually want to buy someone else's pill furnace. This is the greatest insult to a pill cultivator. If Long Chen said he wanted to buy your wife, what would you do? The
Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall was dumbfounded. He hadn't known about this before, and everyone else looked shocked. No wonder Long Chen turned hostile—so there's such a thing as well.
Seeing that the Hall Master of the Divine Pill Hall truly seemed unaware of this, Long Chen's expression softened slightly. Just now, he had almost killed this old fellow in a fit of rage.
Passing through DanOnly with the master's explanation was the misunderstanding resolved, but even if he was wrong, the head of the Divine Pill Hall couldn't admit fault to a young man, especially since Long Chen had just grabbed him by the collar, causing him to lose face.
"The Moon Melting Star Refining Furnace—sigh, I never expected such injuries. That shows just how terrifying that battle back then was.
Yan Qingsheng was a great master in alchemy. Among the pills popular in the world, hundreds were created by himself, and he improved and innovated the ancient alchemy techniques, making it easier for future disciples to access alchemy.
It can be said that Yan Qingsheng is a milestone figure in the history of alchemy. While others might at best call him a master, he himself is called a grandmaster, with unparalleled contributions to the path of alchemy.
What is most admirable is that when the Great Dark Age arrived, he still participated in the Great Emperor's battles and ultimately fell. While this is both heartbreaking and admirable, one cannot help but admire his heroic spirit. "Speaking of Yan Qingsheng, even the Lord of Pills admires him and holds him in great respect.
"Thank you, Lord Dan, for telling me everything about the Moon Refining Star Furnace. Because its spirit has been severely damaged and is currently only in the waking stage, it hasn't told me anything about its origin." Long Chen cupped his fists and said.
"The fact that the Moon Furnace recognizes you as its master means you are definitely worthy of it. Alright, haha, old people talk too much, it's annoying to hear. You two keep the match." The Pill Master chuckled, glanced once more at the Moon Furnace of the Molten Moon Refining Star Furnace, and left with his people.
For a moment, the entire venue fell into dead silence, especially the disciples of the Divine Pill Hall who had just mocked Long Chen. Their faces burned with embarrassment. They were blind and blind; their earlier ridicule was like a harsh slap in the face.
Ye Qian looked at Long Chen's Moon Molten Star Refining Furnace. Although he couldn't yet see anything special about it, he heard every word of the Pill Master's words without missing a single word.
The top of the ten ancient alchemy furnaces, and although his Dragon and Phoenix Universe Furnace is also a supreme treasure, it is not yet qualified to be ranked among the top ten. Moreover, its history cannot be traced back to ancient times.
"Long Chen..." Ye Qian couldn't help but speak up.
"If you dare to set your sights on the pill furnace, I'll kill you immediately. Don't challenge my bottom line. At such close range, if I kill you, no one can stop me." Long Chen said coldly. Looking into Ye Qian's eyes, Long Chen immediately knew what he was up to.
The Moon Refining Star Furnace doesn't need to be famous; Long Chen has never seen it as a tool. He is his partner, just like his own brother Hongyan. If anyone dares to use it as a wager, it is the most insulting provocation.
Ye Qian snorted coldly, "Even if you have a good pill furnace, so what?" It's just a broken body, dragging along a soul that hasn't fully awakened yet. If you use it, you won't even think about beating me. "
Buzz!"
Suddenly, Ye Qian struck the Dragon-Phoenix Universe Furnace, and two divine lights shot up into the sky. The void roared and exploded, and on the furnace, one could vaguely see a dragon and a phoenix entwined—a truly astonishing phenomenon.
"Whew."
Ye Qian didn't say anything more. He put a rare herb into the alchemy furnace and finally began the real pill refining. For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall grew tense again, and everyone's eyes turned to the two of them.
