Neither of them continued to discuss the issue of joining the sect, and Hu Tao also knew that some things could not be rushed.
After a while, Song Yulan came in carrying a rather simple and exquisite brocade box, but her face did not look very good, so something must have happened.
"Yulan, what happened?"
Song Yulan didn't dare to hide it, and whispered in Hu Tao's ear with a hint of grievance, "Peak Master Weng Jieming sent a message asking for this alchemy cauldron as well, saying that the members of the Postnatal Alchemy Alliance were coming to our sect for an exchange, and this cauldron would be the prize for the champion of the exchange competition."
"The Alchemy League is coming? How come I didn't know?" Hu Tao was very confused. How could he, the peak master, not know about such a big thing? But when he woke up the demon from Weng Jieming's family who had entered the Alchemy League to study, he understood a little. It seemed that this time they were using this exchange to send treasures to their own family.
"I understand. Leave this matter to me."
Hu Tao replied and let Song Yulan leave first. He then took out the Luanfeng Ding and placed it in front of Ling Tian. "Little friend Ling, this is the Luanfeng Ding, the treasure of our Qiandan Pavilion. Take a look at it and see if you like it."
"Oh? The treasure of the pavilion?"
Ling Tian was a little surprised. How could they sell him such a precious thing? Besides, weren't they the Dan Sect? This was their livelihood, so why would they sell it?
With doubts in his heart, Ling Tian took the medicine cauldron and examined it carefully.
“Hey, that’s weird!!”
Ling Tiangang gave it a try with a trace of true fire, but he couldn't change the temperature of the cauldron at all. This surprised him very much. His true fire could even have an effect on the Xuantian Medicine Cauldron. Could it be that this Luanfeng Cauldron was even more powerful than the Xuantian treasure?
"Are you surprised, little friend Ling?"
"It's really strange, is there something magical about it?"
Hu Tao didn't hold back, and slowly explained the wonders of this cauldron. "This medicine cauldron was used by our founder back then. However, besides the strength of the true fire, the most important thing to drive it is the strength of the soul power. Without strong soul power, it is impossible to use it to refine pills. For so many years, no one in our sect has been able to drive it. Even if they could, they couldn't refine high-level pills. In terms of function, it is not as good as an ordinary alchemy furnace, so I put it here for sale."
After hearing this, Ling Tian couldn't hide his surprise. Wasn't this prepared for him?
Suppressing his inner restlessness, he calmly asked, "It's so precious, I'm afraid it won't be cheap, right?"
"One hundred high-grade spirit stones."
Ling Tian sucked in a breath of cold air. One hundred top-grade spirit stones were equivalent to a million low-grade spirit stones. This was an extremely large number. He had enough on him, but it was difficult for him to decide to spend such a large amount of spirit stones.
"But if you, little friend Ling, join my Dan Sect, I can give you this tripod as a gift, hehe!"
Although Ling Tian was tempted, he was not blinded by the benefits. After all, if he accepted the gift, he would be owing a favor, and this debt of favor is not easy to repay.
"Peak Master Hu Tao, here are a hundred high-grade spirit stones. Please count them." Ling Tian took out a storage bag and said, "As for joining your sect, this matter is quite important. I will consider it in detail when I return and give you a reply tomorrow, how about that?"
"Then wait for good news."
After Ling Tian left the second floor, Hu Tao looked at the storage bag on the table. The neatly packed 100 high-grade spirit stones shocked even him, but he wasn't overly surprised. After all, alchemists earn a very high salary. Of course, Hu Tao was more convinced that it was Ling Tian's imaginary master who gave it to him.
Hu Tao was also taking a gamble. After all, the Dan League was the self-surrendered force of the three major forces among the nine major countries. It was not because of their own strength, but because they had inextricable ties with other large and small sects, gangs and other forces. After all, elixirs were the most important part of the cultivation system.
Although their Dan Sect also developed based on alchemy, training an alchemist requires huge resources, and the achievement is not necessarily high. There is a serious shortage of talent, and now it is in name only. Even the sect intends to reduce the proportion of resources allocated to Danfeng, so Hu Tao is so eager to want Ling Tian to join.
…
After leaving Qiandan Pavilion, the hunchback who was waiting outside the door immediately came to greet him respectfully. It was obvious that he was extremely happy. He must have received the kickback points from the transaction with Ling Tian.
"Sir, we've gotten some progress on what you told us. There's a private auction going on in West City tonight. I wonder if you're interested?"
"Private auction?" Ling Tian thought about it for a moment and realized that this was most likely smuggled goods. The things inside were definitely cheap, but he was more concerned about the safety issues.
Guessing that Ling Tian was a little cautious, the hunchback lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, sir. Although this is a private auction, you can be assured of safety. Today's auction is held at the Young City Lord's place. No one in Luofeng City dares to have any bad intentions."
"Oh, I see. I can definitely participate then. Do you have any information about the items being auctioned?"
"It's been prepared for you a long time ago, look!"
As he spoke, the hunchback took out a black post that had a strange, eerie quality. Ling Tian took it, opened it, and began to read it carefully.
Most of them are items for the Foundation Establishment Stage and the Core Formation Stage. There are also some for the Nascent Soul Stage, but they are relatively few. Not many of them interest him. However, there is one item that he is very interested in.
"If the Ruyi Mask is truly as described, capable of changing into any form at will and simulating and concealing auras, then the price is acceptable."
Ling Tian was very tempted and decided to go tonight to see if he could capture him. While the two were talking, the carriage had already returned to their residence. After getting off the carriage, Ling Tian gave the camel his reward for the day and then said, "Come pick me up tonight."
"Yes, sir!"
The hunchback was overjoyed. As long as Ling Tian could trade a little tonight, he could make a lot of spirit stones.
After entering the courtyard, Ling Tian casually set up an isolation array and a defensive array, then returned to his room to set up another defensive array. He needed to prepare for tonight's auction.
After taking out the Luanfeng Ding, Ling Tian began to refine the elixir. To be honest, he had never refined high-end goods, but he could easily make the ones used in the Qi Refining Stage. Moreover, he had an endless supply of low-level spiritual medicines, so they were very suitable for cashing in.
Ling Tian had only refined a few types of elixirs. He chose the Yuan Qi Pill and the Dragon Strength Pill, both of which were in short supply during the Qi Refining Stage. Although they were cheap, a bottle of ten mid-grade pills could fetch twenty low-grade spirit stones, while a high-grade pill fetched double that. Perfect pills were even more expensive. At Ling Tian's current level, refining over a hundred bottles of high-grade pills in an hour wouldn't be difficult.
But when he just started to refine it, Ling Tian felt happy. He didn't know if it was because of the accident with Xukong, but he didn't expect that his ability to control the power of his soul had become much stronger. The first batch of Yuanli Dan was completed in just a few breaths, and he also refined a pill of perfect quality for the first time.
