Two sets of medicinal herbs, glittering with color and emitting rich fragrance, were neatly placed on two long jade tables.
Each kind of medicinal material was carefully sealed and stored in a jade box with different properties and a sealing talisman. Based on the faint moonlight scent on the sealing talisman, Chu Tian guessed that these medicinal materials were probably collected by the Moon Fox Clan of Silver Moon Island.
It seems that the agreement between Haolong Zhenzun and the old fox Yue Diandian has not changed at all because of Jin Bao's death.
“Look carefully, these herbs took several years and a huge amount of money, and the death of thousands of cultivators to collect.” Haolong Zhenzun stood between two long jade tables, and his sharp eyes swept over Chu Tian and Master Qiao fiercely.
Chu Tian smiled slightly, not moved at all by Haolong Zhenzun's words.
Master Qiao's face was a little stiff, these herbs were all specialties of the Fallen Star Ocean, many of them were rare treasures. For example, one of them was the 'Three-inch Diameter Deep Sea Blue Spirit Pearl', which had to be grown in a trench at least 30,000 miles deep, and also in the place where water and fire merged due to the collision of undersea volcanoes and undersea cold currents. It took at least tens of thousands of years to breed!
The value of this three-inch diameter deep-sea blue spirit bead cannot be estimated using spirit crystals at all!
If it falls into the hands of the elders of the Huanling Pavilion, this deep-sea spirit bead containing a huge amount of water, fire and the essence of heaven and earth can be refined into a top-level heavenly attack magic treasure!
Even in many powerful families, such an offensive magic treasure can serve as a family heirloom.
The spiritual objects of heaven and earth are guarded by divine beasts and birds of prey. It is conceivable how risky it is to collect such spiritual beads. Haolong Zhenzun said that thousands of monks lost their lives for these medicinal materials, which should not be a lie!
However, in the elixir recipe recorded on the colorful python skin, such deep-sea spirit pearls are only ranked first as auxiliary medicinal materials, which are specially used to reconcile the property conflicts between multiple main medicines and gradually refine the medicinal properties with the power of water and fire.
The heavy pressure made Master Qiao speechless!
He actually had no confidence in refining the elixir this time, but he was forced into a desperate situation.
Turning his head and taking a deep look at Chu Tian, Master Qiao bowed solemnly to Haolong Zhenzun, his hands almost touching the ground: "Zhenzun, rest assured, I will do my best and will not waste this furnace of spiritual medicine."
Haolong Zhenzun nodded in satisfaction. He said in a deep voice, "Don't be too nervous. I have prepared a hundred copies of this kind of medicinal materials! I am a reasonable person. Alchemy is difficult. Even the most skilled alchemist cannot guarantee success with one furnace of elixir, not to mention that this is your first time!"
His eyes swept over Chu Tian's smiling face again, and Haolong Zhenzun frowned. He felt vaguely that Chu Tian's face seemed a little familiar, but after Chu Tian broke through to the Sky-Peeking Realm, the strange force field fluctuations formed by the true meaning of the moon around him made his face seem covered with a layer of veil and a layer of cloud light, and it was in some mysterious state of change at any time.
Haolong Zhenzun just felt that his face was a little familiar, but he couldn't figure out that the 'Mr. Xiaotian Hu Xiaotian' in front of him from Hancuiya could be the 'Ming Wang Chutian' who helped him identify the pill formula on Qingye Island!
“So, even if you fail, I won’t blame you, but you must give it your all!” Haolong Zhenzun discarded the familiar feeling of Chu Tian in his mind and said seriously: “As long as you work hard on refining the elixir, even if you waste this batch of medicinal materials, I won’t feel sad, and I won’t cause you any trouble!”
Mr. Qiao's mood suddenly relaxed a lot.
Chu Tian almost laughed - no matter how huge the cost of these medicinal herbs was, it was the contribution of the Moon Fox Clan of Silver Moon Island. As you are called Long Zhenzun, naturally you would not feel the slightest bit of heartache!
However, the Moon Fox Clan was indeed powerful. They actually managed to collect a hundred sets of such rare raw materials!
Chu Tian secretly speculated that perhaps this was not just the power of the Moon Fox Clan. Maybe the old fox Yue Xiaoxiao had already asked for help from the master behind him? Perhaps it was because of this pill recipe that the Moon Fox Clan survived the horrific disaster of Jin Bo's murder?
Feeling that Haolong Zhenzun's eyes were focused on him, Chu Tian smiled and nodded, putting aside the irrelevant thoughts in his mind, and smiled at Haolong Zhenzun: "Zhenzun, if you trust me, take out fifty portions of materials, I will definitely refine a furnace of finished elixir for you!"
Master Qiao's face suddenly jumped and he turned his head sharply to look at Chu Tian.
Master Qiao turned his head so violently that his cervical vertebrae made a cracking sound and he almost cried out in pain.
The corner of Haolong Zhenzun's eyes also jumped suddenly. He stared at Chu Tian with wide eyes, calling out Chu Tian's alias in the Windless Canyon word by word: "Mr. Xiaotian! Fifty portions of materials, no problem, how many finished pills can you give me!"
Chu Tian nodded slowly: "One furnace, thirty-six pills, this is clearly written on the recipe. I have the confidence that I can refine a furnace!"
Haolong Zhenzun's eyes flickered, and he asked coldly: "What if we fail?"
Chu Tian suddenly raised his head and looked at Haolong Zhenzun. After the changes of the true meaning of the moon, the sword energy of the Great Zhoutian Stars became elusive, as agile and mysterious as the clouds in the mountains on a moonlit night. Suddenly, it turned into two beams of light and spurted out from his pupils.
There was a loud "hissing" sound, and the air in front of Chu Tian was struck by the gleam in his eyes, forming circles of ripples visible to the naked eye.
Haolong Zhenzun couldn't help but be shocked - this kid shouldn't be an alchemist? Which alchemist can have such a sharp aura?
"If all fifty medicinal materials fail, I will let you do whatever you want!" Chu Tian shook his sleeves in a cool manner: "I am a very good alchemist after all. The value of a living alchemist is much higher than these dead things, right?"
Master Qiao's face trembled violently again. As a senior alchemist, he didn't have the courage to fight to the death like Chu Tian!
He liked a luxurious life and all kinds of extravagant enjoyment. He would never do such a stupid thing as gambling with his own freedom. So he lowered his head, said nothing, and just stared at the medicinal materials on the long table in front of him.
Haolong Zhenzun fell silent.
He looked Chu Tian up and down for a while, then turned his head and looked at the 18,000 disciples of Hancui Cliff standing neatly on the treetops. He suddenly laughed, "In three years, we have achieved such a great feat. Mr. Xiaotian, you are worth ten or even a hundred times more than these fifty herbs! I got a great deal in this bet! Well, how about giving you fifty herbs?"
With a wave of his hand, forty-nine portions of medicinal herbs turned into streams of light and flew out from the sleeves of Haolong Zhenzun.
Chu Tian waved his hand, and the bracelet on his wrist emitted a cold light. He took the forty-nine portions of medicinal materials together with the one on the long table, then turned and walked towards the small building where he usually lived, practiced, and made pills.
"Ling'er, Wanye, help Master Qiao pick a good Feng Shui location!"
