After selecting the Explosive Thunder Talisman, Qi Tian didn’t have many ideas about what to choose for his third treasure. There were plenty of treasures in the warehouse, but very few were of interest to him. The black jade box and the top-grade spirit stones within it counted as one. The Explosive Thunder Talisman was another. However, finding something to match the first was impossible. Even items on par with the Thunder Talisman were scarce.

Qi Tian had no choice but to stroll around the shelves and display tables of the treasury, hoping to find a treasure that would catch his eye. When he reached the section dedicated to pills, his eyes suddenly lit up. There were a variety of pills on display, as well as some special natural treasures needed for pill refinement, and even a few pill refining furnaces.

Qi Tian remembered that his cultivation of the Tiger Golden Body Skills required the Tiger Roar Pill, but the batch he had previously asked Liu Yan to compound for him had already run out. This caused his progression in the Golden Body Skills to stagnate, advancing at a much slower pace. Of course, general Body Refining Pills could also be used for practice, but in terms of effectiveness, the Tiger Roar Pill would be the most suitable.

Qi Tian trusted Liu Yan, but he couldn’t say the same about other pill refinement masters. He wouldn’t reveal the pill formula of Tiger Roar Pill just like that to other masters. Furthermore, it would be difficult for him to find another high-tier pill refinement master like Huang Liuyan, who would agree to refine pills for him without asking for anything in return.

It seemed there was only one route left to take – Qi Tian would have to refine it himself. He understood that alchemy was a task of extremely high difficulty, even more so than the practice of talismans or runes. But for the sake of his future and to quickly enhance his strength, mastering the art of pill refinement, especially that of the Tiger Roar Pill, was a priority.

With this in mind, Qi Tian started looking at the pill refining furnaces. He wasn’t completely ignorant in the field of alchemy, having read some books on the subject and understanding some theory. However, to say he was well-versed would have been far from the truth. Qi Tian followed his usual method and used the Heavenly Dao Engine to help him select a pill refining furnace. Like all other magical tools, these furnaces also contained Spirit Qi. And as usual, the higher the grade, the more Spirit Qi it contained.

Qi Tian approached the furnaces, closed his eyes, and attuned himself. He quickly identified a few furnaces with potent Qi and grabbed the one with the strongest signal from the Heavenly Dao Engine. He carefully examined the furnace and was secretly relieved he had looked carefully—it had a very faint crack. If he hadn’t looked closely, he might even have missed it.

Even if Qi Tian didn’t know much about alchemy, he knew that this crack was not a good sign. With regrets, he put the furnace down and picked up the next one with the second strongest signal from the Heavenly Dao Engine. After a careful examination, finding it satisfactory, he then hugged the almost one-meter tall furnace and started heading towards the treasure vault exit.

Seeing Qi Tian carrying the heavy pill refining furnace, Wang Song shook his head and said, “Qi Tian, what are you planning to do? You wouldn’t be thinking of going down a new path and start learning alchemy, are you? You are young, and now is the perfect time for you to strive ahead. If I had your resources, I would focus on enhancing my cultivation realm, aiming to break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage and accumulate power to strike the Gold Core Stage. Your intermittent cultivation will not benefit you. Unless you have a unique talent in pill refinement, you should only consider learning pill refinement when you no longer see hope in advancing your cultivation realm. If you reach the Gold Core Stage, you will have hundreds of years to squander.”

Qi Tian put down the pill refining furnace, cupped his hands towards Wang Song and said, “Thank you for your kind advice, but I do not plan to specialize in alchemy. It’s just a sudden itch to give it a try.”

“Good, as long as you don’t specialize. Qi Tian, don’t mind me nagging, but just dabble in alchemy and don’t make it your primary pursuit, otherwise, you will waste your excellent conditions,” Wang Song sincerely advised.

Qi Tian called over to Zhang Meng, saying, “I have selected my three treasures. We can go now.”

Zhang Meng had been overseeing Qi Tian’s selection process the entire time and knew that Qi Tian had indeed only taken three items from the treasury. So he guided Qi Tian and Wang Song out of the treasury.

Once outside, the person in charge at the Foundation Establishment Stage carefully inspected the three items Qi Tian had brought out—the black jade box, the Explosive Thunder Talisman, and the Earth-ranked, top-grade pill refining furnace. Although he did not understand why Qi Tian would choose the ordinary black jade box, he had no right to question him. He simply recorded the three treasures and deducted a large number of disciple points from Qi Tian’s Disciple Card.

From this moment on, the three treasures were officially Qi Tian’s possessions.

Qi Tian sighed with relief. He had been worried that something unexpected might happen, but fortunately, everything had gone smoothly.
