Chapter 109 - 109 109 The Origin of the Purple Yang Cauldron

109: Chapter 109: The Origin of the Purple Yang Cauldron 109: Chapter 109: The Origin of the Purple Yang Cauldron Zuo Qiuyu waved his hand, and a case appeared in front of him with a stick of incense and two sets of medicinal materials for refining Crimson Flame Pills.

“Long Yan, it’s not too late for you to admit defeat now!”

Zuo Qiuyu sneered confidently, certain that as long as Long Yan lost, even Leng Youlan wouldn’t be able to interfere.

At this moment, he deliberately glanced at Lingxi, thinking that after he had captured Long Yan and handed him over to his master, Lingxi would be his.

The Blood Woman disappeared without a trace.

He guessed that Leng Youlan had secretly eliminated the Blood Woman.

Even if he sent many Heavenly Martial Realm experts, it would be of no use with Leng Youlan present.

Now, things had become much simpler.

“You are too confident.”

The smile on Long Yan’s face didn’t fade; he and Zuo Qiuyu looked at each other, both filled with absolute confidence.

At this moment, the crowd retreated, leaving a space large enough for Long Yan and Zuo Qiuyu to have a pill refining competition.

Everyone looked forward to the rare scene.

“Let’s start then!”

Zuo Qiuyu flicked his finger, and a cluster of flames slipped from his fingertip, flying directly to the case and igniting the stick of incense.

The seemingly simple action showcased his superb ability to control fire, causing the crowd to marvel silently.

However, just as everyone thought that Zuo Qiuyu was about to start refining pills, he showed no intention of doing so and instead looked at Long Yan playfully.

Unexpectedly, Long Yan simply stood with his arms folded and didn’t move at all.

“Hmph, playing mind games with me?

You’ll be crying later.”

Zuo Qiuyu looked down on Long Yan in his heart, believing that he couldn’t refine pills at all and was just pretending to be calm.

“What are they doing?

Aren’t they supposed to compete in pill refining?

Why aren’t they taking any action?”

Someone voiced their confusion.

They wanted to witness the pill refining process with their own eyes, as such an opportunity was not always available.

“You know nothing!

When experts compete, they are fighting against each other’s inner strength.”

A freckle-faced man spoke casually, “The reason Senior Brother Zuo has not made a move is that he is confident in refining the pill at the last moment.

As for Long Yan, you can tell he’s a fake from his appearance.

He’s just pretending to be calm!”

“I see!”

Upon hearing this, the others showed expressions of sudden realization.

Soon, half of the time had passed as half of the incense stick was burned up.

At this moment, Zuo Qiuyu couldn’t remain calm any longer.

With a wave of his hand, a bronze three-legged cauldron appeared before him, from which a rich fragrance of pills wafted out.

“I have heard that Senior Brother Zuo’s pill cauldron is a Profound-level Spirit Artifact called Lingxuan Cauldron.

Is that the one before our eyes?”

“A pill cauldron is essential for alchemists.

A good pill cauldron makes it easier to refine elixirs.

In Pill King Hall, besides a few Earth-level Spirit Artifacts, the other pill cauldrons are Profound-level and Yellow-level Spirit Artifacts, and some are not even considered Spirit Artifacts.

Brother Zuo is one of the Three Major Geniuses, so it’s natural for him to have a Profound-level pill cauldron.”

“Being able to witness Senior Brother Zuo refining pills with my own eyes is worth joining Pill King Hall.”

Someone recognized Zuo Qiuyu’s bronze cauldron as the Lingxuan Cauldron, which was indeed a Profound-Level Spiritual Tool.

Under everyone’s gaze, Zuo Qiuyu slapped the Lingxuan Cauldron, and the pill fire entered the cauldron, instantly transforming into a blazing flame and preheating the cauldron.

After a while, Zuo Qiuyu skillfully controlled the flame, then placed the auxiliary medicinal materials into the cauldron, wrapped them with the flame, began to remove the impurities, and turned them into a small mass of medicinal liquid visible to the naked eye.

Immediately after, Zuo Qiuyu put the main ingredient for refining the Crimson Flame Pill, Fiery Scarlet Ginseng, into the pill cauldron, and similarly used pill fire to eliminate the impurities.

The Crimson Flame Pill is a relatively difficult Second Grade Elixir to refine, mainly because of the step of removing impurities from the Fiery Scarlet Ginseng.

The Fiery Scarlet Ginseng itself is a spiritual medicine that grows by absorbing the Power of Earth Fire.

Removing its impurities requires precise temperature control; an inadequate flame will fail to eliminate the impurities, making it impossible to blend the elixir, while a flame that is too strong will directly turn the ingredients into ashes.

Even as a Fourth Rank Alchemist, Zuo Qiuyu still had to be extremely cautious at this moment.

Half of the remaining half-stick of incense time had passed, leaving only a quarter left.

“It’s my turn to start!”

A smile rose on Long Yan’s face.

A purple light flashed, and the Purple Yang Cauldron appeared in front of him.

“Look, Long Yan has also taken out his pill cauldron.

Could he really know how to refine pills?”

“What kind of pill cauldron is this?

It feels even more advanced than Senior Brother Zuo’s Lingxuan Cauldron.

Could it be an Earth-level Cauldron?”

“Hmph, just putting on a show.

Having a pill cauldron doesn’t mean that everyone who has one is an alchemist.”

Seeing that Long Yan had also taken out a pill cauldron, everyone was somewhat surprised, and more importantly, they could see that Long Yan’s pill cauldron was even superior to the Lingxuan Cauldron, an Earth-level Cauldron.

“Earth-level Spirit Item!”

Leng Youlan’s gaze was also instantly attracted to the Purple Yang Cauldron, seemingly recognizing it.

A trace of surprise flickered in her beautiful eyes.

“It’s actually the Purple Yang Cauldron!”

Leng Youlan blurted out.

“You recognize the Purple Yang Cauldron?”

Long Yan was somewhat surprised.

He had obtained the Purple Yang Cauldron in the Underground Snow Mountain, and the previous owner had entered the Underground Snow Mountain at least one hundred years ago.

“Of course.”

Leng Youlan nodded slightly and said, “In Pill King Hall, there is a cauldron called the Inverse Fire Gold Cauldron, which is a Heavenly-Level Spiritual Device and the only Heavenly-level Dan Cauldron.

Later, Pill King Hall invited an Artifact Refining Master to imitate the Inverse Fire Gold Cauldron and refine two Earth-level Cauldrons, the Golden Sun Cauldron and the Purple Yang Cauldron.”

After a pause, Leng Youlan continued: “The Inverse Fire Gold Cauldron has always been controlled by the Hall Master of Pill King Hall, so it has also become a symbol of the Hall Master over time.

The Golden Sun Cauldron and the Purple Yang Cauldron are only available for the most talented disciples of Pill King Hall to use.

The Golden Sun Cauldron is in the hands of Ye Han Smoke, the first of the Three Major Geniuses.

It is rumored that the Purple Yang Cauldron had disappeared one hundred years ago, and I didn’t expect it to fall into your hands.”

Although the Purple Yang Cauldron is an imitation of the Inverse Fire Gold Cauldron, it is still an extremely precious treasure to Pill King Hall.

Pill King Hall has always been searching for the whereabouts of the Purple Yang Cauldron but has never succeeded.

“I didn’t expect the Purple Yang Cauldron to have such a background.”

Long Yan smiled slightly, it seems that the Alchemist from the Underground Snow Mountain was also a disciple of Pill King Hall.

“Purple Yang Cauldron!”

Zuo Qiuyu’s gaze was also attracted to the Purple Yang Cauldron, with a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

He had always been envious of the Golden Sun Cauldron in Ye Han Smoke’s hands, and if he could obtain the Purple Yang Cauldron, it would greatly aid his pill refining.

“Begin pill refining.”

Long Yan flicked his finger, and the Earth Slaughter Truefire entered the Purple Yang Cauldron.

The gray-white flame instantly evenly covered the inner wall of the Purple Yang Cauldron.

A horrifying cold and icy aura was released, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet rapidly.

“Strange Fire, this is Strange Fire!”

Someone exclaimed.
