Chen Xiao was a Feng Shui master before his death. He changed his fate to save his master, but died of old age.
When he opened his eyes, he came to a world of immortal cultivation where there...
The two of them ran along the stairs, passed the welcoming hall in the middle, passed the observation deck in the middle, ignoring all the scenery along the way, and arrived at the palace complex on the top floor.
Looking down from a distance, one can see a group of buildings. When Chen Xiao got closer, he discovered that it was composed of several palaces with different functions. Each palace was not large in area and had a relatively simple structure.
This is good news for Chen Xiao. Basically, just by pushing open the door and taking a look, he can know the nature of this palace.
I have seen the two palaces in front. One of them is furnished and seems to be used for living. The one next to it seems to be a storage room, with a lot of miscellaneous things placed in it.
With just a glance, Chen Xiao could see bottles and small jars on the shelf against the wall. He didn't know what they were, but they might have been carefully placed there by Chongshan. They must be good things.
Chen Xiao turned his head and looked back. The stairs going up were like those crawling by ants, which slowed people down. Anyone who could get close would definitely be able to get here within a minute or two.
He gave up immediately and turned to run towards the palace behind.
Xi Yunting followed him closely, keeping an eye out for any unusual circumstances around him.
Pushing open another door, Chen Xiao discovered Chongshan’s workshop!
The workshop had indeed not been cleaned up. There was a smelting furnace, a material rack, a set of tables and chairs, and a few scattered papers on the table. There was also a mess in the corner, probably failed test products and waste.
It was obvious that the smelting furnace was no ordinary item. The red furnace was covered with intricate and gorgeous golden patterns. Even after thousands of years, it still seemed to be warm.
It seemed as if the owner suddenly left while using it, and a few runes lit up on the furnace from time to time.
Chen Xiao could have been ruthless enough to give up other things, but as soon as he saw this stove, he understood its importance.
The furnace he is currently using is very good. He asked a grandmaster of refining to build it for him through his connections with the Chongxuan Sect.
That furnace was considered advanced in the world of immortal cultivation, but it was not as good as the top-grade smelting furnace made by Chongshan, who was called a "saint" in the history of refining equipment.
Chen Xiao only stood at the door for three seconds before he decided to rush in. He aimed accurately, picked up the stove that was as tall as a person, and tried to stuff it into the storage box.
But he couldn't move it the first time he copied it, and he couldn't move it the second time either.
Then he understood that the furnace was too heavy and he couldn't move it at all with his strength.
Chen Xiao tried twice and failed. When Xi Yunting realized that he wanted the stove, he stepped forward and gently pushed Chen Xiao aside.
"I'll do it."
Xi Yunting did not use brute force, but took out a piece of colorful cloth from the storage bag, shook it open and covered the smelting furnace.
This piece of cloth is not an ordinary item either. It is a magical tool that Taixuan gave him to use before this trip. It has a very distinctive name called Douliangjin.
The measuring towel is specially used to deal with treasures that can be seen but difficult to carry away. No matter whether it is water or air, as long as it is covered by the measuring towel, it will be weighed and you can just lift it lightly and take it away easily and happily.
Because of this unique ability, the Douliangjin is known as a magic weapon. Taixuan usually treasures it very much and is not willing to lend it out easily. If it weren't for the high level of the place they were exploring this time, he would not be willing to take it out.
The corners of the Douliang towel were hanging down like flowing water. Xi Yunting bent down and tied two loose knots at the bottom of the stove with the four corners.
Then, he lifted the stove with one hand, and it tilted like a weightless oversized thermos.
Xi Yunting held one side of the tied bag with his other hand, making the knot face upwards. He exerted force with both hands at the same time and shook it vigorously, and the smelting furnace slid completely into the measuring towel.
Then, he folded the measuring towel in half, and then folded it in half again, until it became a piece of cloth the size of a square table, and stuffed it into the storage bag.
Xi Yunting raised his head, and Chen Xiao looked at him with adoring eyes. He thought what Xi Yunting did was amazing!
Xi Yunting felt very satisfied with the admiration from his lover. He was so proud that he didn't reveal his emotions. He coughed and said, "This magic weapon is a little special. It can only hold one item. Brother Xiao, is there anything else you want?"
Chen Xiao took another look and shook his head decisively: "With this one thing, it is enough for Big Brother to report to the head of Taixuan Sect. Let's go to the next room!"
He turned around and ran out of the workshop door. Xi Yunting was stunned. Only then did he realize that he was racing against time, but he was still delaying here, all for the sake of reporting to the head master!
A warm current flowed through his heart. As he caught up with Chen Xiao, Xi Yunting said with emotion: "If you like it, stay, Xiao, and find another job."
Chen Xiao answered without hesitation: "I am not talented in refining equipment, and it would be a waste to use this furnace. It would be better to hand it over to my eldest brother. When I need it, I can ask my connections in the sect to help me make semi-finished products."
He knows what is important.
He was a self-taught person, and his skills were not as good as those of a top-level professional refiner. It would be better to sell this smelting furnace, so that he could ask for it when he needed it.
Besides, his unique way of using vital energy to refine equipment is totally different from traditional equipment refining, and this smelting furnace can only play less than half of its role. It would be better for him to wait until he gets Chongshan's notes from the later period, study them and make his own, so that he can use it more smoothly.
Xi Yunting thought so too, so he said nothing more and followed Chen Xiao into another room.
This time he finally found the study. Chen Xiao cheered, ran to the desk in front of the window, picked up a book-like notebook and started to look through it.
Xi Yunting came to the table just one step slower than him and said, "Put it away first."
Chen Xiao came to his senses, "Right, right, leave it there and look for it slowly."
Although I didn't see any content about refining equipment in the book I just flipped through, it did record some insights of cultivation during the tribulation period. Although Xi Yunting and Chongshan did not practice the same system, it was still of reference value.
These dozens of books in front of me are probably Chongshan’s insights in the Immortal Palace before he ascended to heaven.
Thank you for his habit of taking notes! Chen Xiao happily collected all the books, not even leaving a single piece of paper.
Just after I put away all the books and before I had time to take a look at other things in the study, a figure rushed in.
Xi Yunting glanced at him fiercely, raised his hand and swung out a sword energy, which drew a fierce crack under the man's feet.
The man was startled. If he had not stopped in time, his lower body would have been separated.
"Chen Xiao! Xi Yunting! Are you going to cross the river and burn the bridge?!" The man was Bai Jiguang. His face was pale and he shouted angrily, "After all, I provided you with the key information, so you can open the door of the Immortal Palace. You eat meat, you can't not even give others a sip of soup, right?!"
Xi Yunting's eyes turned cold, and he said, "If you hadn't shown mercy, what would be waiting for you would not be the sword energy, but the sword blade!"
His attitude was cold and hard, and the tension in Bai Jiguang's heart eased a little.
He pretended to be calm and said, "I knew that you two Taoist friends are not people who would betray their promises."
Chen Xiao frowned and said, "As far as I remember, we didn't reach any deal. Besides, although you provided Chongshan's old notes, without our efforts and dedication, the notes alone could not open the door. This is even!"
Bai Jiguang forced a smile and said, "We bumped into each other here. I think we have the same goal. We are both here for the inheritance of Chongshan. Since you got here first, it is only right that you take all the notes. Since I also contributed half of the credit, can you let me make a copy?"
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, and then Xi Yunting suddenly spoke up and said, "Since you are here for the Chongshan inheritance, you can take all the jade slips on the bookshelf. We don't want any of them."
Reminded by Xi Yunting's words, Chen Xiao turned his head and looked to the side. There was also a storage rack against the wall.
There were many empty spaces on the shelf. Some of them held incense burners, some held pen holders, and one held a set of exquisite tea sets. The rest were empty, but there was one space left with a row of jade slips.
Everyone in the world of immortal cultivation knows that only important content will be recorded in jade slips.
Bai Jiguang wanted to inherit the Chongshan heritage, and the jade slips were no worse than notes. From some perspectives, the jade slips were even more rigorous.
But for some purpose, Bo Jiguang wanted both the jade slip and the notes.
He stared at the two of them, slowly and tentatively walked to the shelf, and put the jade slips into his storage bag.
Seeing that Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting really asked him to take the jade slip, he thought about it again and took away the incense burner, pen holder and tea set.
Chen Xiao made him laugh. He said with a straight face, "Get what you want and leave here!"
Bai Jiguang licked his lips and said in a gentle tone: "You and I are both wise people. Chongshan's jade slips and notes each have different strengths. Otherwise, you wouldn't leave the jade slips behind and take the notes first. How about we exchange copies so that each of us can gain more comprehensive benefits?"
Chen Xiao didn't think much about it at first, but Bai Jiguang insisted on getting a copy of the notes, which made him suddenly alert to something.
If the jade slips can help people learn Chongshan's refining method, then the notes will help people understand his thinking habits.
This is Chen Xiao's understanding after comparing it with the jade slip and the notes. However, Bai Jiguang has never seen the notes that go with the jade slip. Why does he have to get Chongshan's notes?
Feeling that something was fishy, Chen Xiao refused to agree to Bai Jiguang's request.
He refused directly, and then said: "I have already done my best by giving up the jade slip, don't push it any further!"
Bai Jiguang had been patiently dealing with the two men before, hoping to achieve his goal at the lowest cost. Seeing that his hope was shattered, he immediately turned hostile and said coldly, "Don't refuse a toast! I'm already showing you a favor by exchanging copies with you. Do you really think you can walk out alive today?"
Chen Xiao laughed in anger, "Why, you still want to threaten us? Just relying on the Equipment Master Alliance behind you?"
Bai Jiguang sneered, "Ha! Who the hell is Zhang Jide! I don't rely on that old bastard!"
Chen Xiao was surprised and confused. Xi Yunting's expression moved slightly. He suddenly looked into the distance and saw a figure approaching from the front and landing directly outside the study door.
"It's you?!"
