Chapter 255 Cleaning the Doorway
"Peak Master Yan."
Qu Haifeng smiled and looked at Yan Qing, "Congratulations, Peak Master Yan, on your successful alchemy."
She came for the Primordial Taiyi Elixir and her own Taixu Eight Extremes Furnace.
"Perhaps... I'm going to disappoint the Peak Master."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting visibly became dejected.
"What's wrong?"
Qu Haifeng frowned slightly. "I have heard that Xianlong Peak is showing strange phenomena again, and there is a faint fragrance at the foot of the mountain at this moment."
"The elixir was indeed successful."
Shang Yanting nodded slightly, "However, when the furnace was opened, the medicinal properties suddenly dissipated, and all the pills became useless pills."
"How is that possible!"
She glanced quickly in the direction of Zhang Xiao, the peak master of Chixiao Peak, and immediately controlled her expression. "I have never heard of an alchemist failing at the last moment. Fellow Daoist Yan, please do not joke."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting's expression changed, his previously warm demeanor turning icy cold. "Does Dean Qu think that I, Yan, am going to break my promise?"
He took out the pills that had turned to charcoal, spread them out, and said, "The failure to refine the pills is more painful for me than for anyone else. If you don't believe me, you can ask anyone on Xianlong Peak."
The people of Xianlong Peak were extremely loyal to him, so naturally they couldn't get anything out of him.
As for alchemy, he is the only one in the world who knows how to refine the Primordial Unity Pill. Whether he can refine it and when he can refine it are all up to him.
"I naturally have no doubts about Fellow Daoist Yan."
Seeing this, Qu Haifeng could not say anything else. "However, since this alchemy has failed, I will take the alchemy furnace back with me so as not to occupy Fellow Daoist Yan's place."
If we can't get the Primordial Taiyi Pill, we'll naturally have to take the alchemy furnace back.
Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting's tone immediately softened.
"Peak Master Qu, may I borrow this alchemy furnace for a while longer?"
Although the alchemy attempt failed this time, it doesn't necessarily mean it can't be successful at least once. Currently, there are still a few True Soil and Immortal Cloud Leaves left; only Spiritual Marrow and Heavenly Ginseng Fruit are missing. But it's only two items; whether they can be successfully refined once they're gathered is uncertain.
"Fellow Daoist Yan, how can I know when you will be able to gather the remaining two kinds of rare and precious materials, and when you will be able to successfully refine the elixir?"
Qu Haifeng is not so easily fooled.
Her patience with Shang Yanting had almost run out, and she couldn't afford to lose a precious cauldron after losing a celestial ginseng fruit.
"Fellow Daoist Qu".
Shang Yanting glanced at Changlong beside her, "If your Changlong could transform into a real dragon, what would your status be in the future?"
A tremendous temptation.
Qu Haifeng certainly had such expectations, otherwise she wouldn't have been so supportive of Yan Qing's alchemy.
However, she gained nothing from this alchemy attempt, and she may not be able to obtain any pills in future alchemy attempts either.
To give or not to give
It all came down to a single sentence from Yan Qing.
If this goes on for a long time, and a pill-refining furnace is added, then it will be a losing proposition.
"I, Yan Qing, swear to the God of Martial Arts that from this moment on, after refining the Primordial Taiyi Pill, I will definitely give one to Qu Haifeng, the peak master of Qizhou Peak. If I break this oath, I will be killed by both heaven and man, and my cultivation will not be able to improve."
That's a very poisonous vow.
They really had a firm grasp on Qu Haifeng's psychology.
Such a cruel vow stirred a flicker of doubt in her resolute heart.
No cultivator in the world would joke about their cultivation level. Qu Haifeng struggled with this decision for a long time before finally agreeing, "Alright! I will lend you this alchemy furnace for another year. If there are no results after a year, I will not agree to lend it out again."
"good!"
I was definitely fooled.
Shang Yanting's vow, though harsh, was "from now on," and anything before didn't count; he said he would definitely give one, but he didn't say he would deliver it.
Is it good, or is it a failed, unfinished product?
If he had a past life, he must have been a wicked insurance salesman who loved to exploit loopholes in agreements.
"In that case, I wish Peak Master Yan a successful alchemy process in advance." Qu Haifeng revealed a smile that didn't reach his eyes, and rode away on Changlong.
Seeing that Qu Haifeng had left, the other minor peak masters also departed in twos and threes. Among them were the three peaks closest to them.
These are all informants sent by different factions.
Many people pay attention to Shang Yanting, but even more people pay attention to Qu Haifeng.
It won't be long before news of what happened today reaches the ears of the three great families: Wanqi, Gongyang, and Helian.
What is it?
Xianlongfeng was on good terms with the Qu family.
The peak master of Xianlong Peak is helping Qu Haifeng refine a secret elixir.
Yan Qing had deliberately maintained a neutral stance for so long, but because of these informants, he has now become an infiltrator.
Shang Yanting looked at the departing group, then at Niu Chuanchuan, "How many peaks are there within a five-kilometer radius of Xianlong Peak?"
“Brother Yan, within a radius of five kilometers of Xianlong Peak, besides the three nearest peaks, Chixiao Peak, Huxuan Peak, and Lihun Peak, there are six other peaks. Two of them were there before, and the other four were established after Xianlong Peak.”
Niu Chuanchuan said to him.
"Um."
Shang Yanting nodded. "Send out invitations, asking them to come to Xianlong Peak for a small gathering in three days."
Since we're all neighbors, we should naturally get to know each other.
This is what Shang Yanting thought.
However, upon receiving the invitation, apart from the peak master of the earliest established mountain, none of the other peak masters attended.
They either go out, go into seclusion, or lie and say they are sick.
"Brother Yan, they're not coming."
Niu Chuanchuan could see through their thoughts, which shows how poorly they were pretending.
