The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

It took more than a year to finally obtain this fragment.

Matthew was also in a great mood.

The search for the crane grass was entrusted to Bao Ya, and Matthew had nothing to do for the time being so he continued to stay in the alchemy room.

After entering, activate the magic circle.

Matthew took out a piece of meat from an unknown part of the monster, threw it on the ground, and then released the insect.

As soon as it came out, after smelling the faint smell of blood, the insect immediately made a buzzing sound, and flew onto the piece of meat as its wings flapped.

It had only been two hours at most since the last time it was full, but this insect seemed to have been hungry for a long time.

The piece of meat was several times larger than it, and it only took a dozen breaths to be eaten.

This time, the bugs were really full.

Lying on the ground motionless.

Seeing this, Matthew shook his head and put it back into the spirit beast bag.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

After Matthew opened it, he found that the person coming was Xiong Ba.

This Xiong Ba has not appeared since the last time he refined a golden marrow pill for him.

"Fellow Taoist Xiong Ba, what's the matter?" Matthew asked curiously.

"The goddess said you need a seven-hundred-year-old crane grass, and I happened to have it with me, so I brought it to you." Xiong Ba chuckled.

Matthew didn't expect Bao Ya to move so quickly.

He took the wooden box handed over by Xiong Ba and opened it to check. It was indeed a seven-hundred-year-old crane grass.

"This thing is useful to me, what do you want, fellow Taoist?" Matthew asked softly.

"Can you refine the Golden Marrow Pills for me again? This time, I need three or one of the middle grade." Xiong Ba scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Give me the materials and I'll refine it for you now." Matthew readily agreed.

Using money to do things for others, instead of refining the Blood Evil Pill for Yang Jie, Matthew naturally chose to refine the Golden Marrow Pill for Xiong Ba.

"There are five materials here, which I have collected in more than a year. You only need to give me the elixirs as required. If there are any extra, I will give them to you." Xiong Ba said generously.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, fellow Taoist, to wait outside for some time. This bottle is a middle-grade Bigu Pill, so I'll give it to you as a gift." Xiong Ba was so generous, so Matthew gave him a rare bottle of pill.

Upon hearing that it was a middle-grade Bigu Pill, Xiong Ba immediately reached out and took it.

After closing the door, Matthew began to prepare the elixir.

The Golden Marrow Pill has been refined once, and although it is only low-grade, it has also accumulated a lot of experience for him.

In fact, Matthew is also very interested in this golden marrow pill.

This kind of pill that can strengthen the bones of the whole body is very rare. If there are many, he would be willing to take a few himself.

It took Matthew half a month to refine the Golden Marrow Pill this time.

In the end, he refined three low-grade and one medium-grade golden marrow pills.

Another furnace was completely scrapped before the elixir was condensed due to poor control of the heat, and there was no chance of purification.

As agreed, Matthew handed the three golden marrow pills to Xiong Ba, while he kept the middle-grade pill.

"Master Ma, I just got the news that Bao Ya will perform a soul-melting ceremony in half a month. At that time, no one in the village is allowed to leave their residence." Xiong Ba said suddenly after taking the three golden marrow pills.

"What is the soul-melting ceremony?" Matthew asked curiously.

This was the first time he heard this thing in more than a year here.

"Uh... How should I put it? It was to fuse her body with the Yellow Shadow Leopard. That's what I did. I was fused with an Earth-Shaking Bear." Xiong Ba is the most careless person in the village, Ma Xiu asked a few questions and then told what he knew.

"How long will the spirit-melting ceremony last?" Matthew asked with a turn of his eyes.

"It depends on the situation at the time. It took me more than ten days, Yang Jie's took twenty days, and Eagle Thirteen's took a whole month." Xiong Ba continued.

"That's just right, I also need to retreat for a while." After listening, Matthew nodded and said.

"Okay, then I will inform the others that you need to retreat." Xiong Ba grinned.

"Thank you." Xiong Ba was much easier to talk to than him. Since the other party was willing to help, it was best.

After seeing Xiong Ba off, Matthew stood at the door for a while and then walked towards the shop.

He was still thinking about how to find time to enter the mysterious space.

Now that he knew that Bao Ya was going to perform the soul-melting ceremony, he was given plenty of time.

Although I don't know exactly how long I can stay in the mysterious space this time, judging from my previous two experiences, the time is getting longer each time.

The materials for the Foundation-Building Pill and the Foundation-Define Pill have been collected, and he plans to buy some other elixirs for emergencies.

Before Matthew could enter the shop, he was stopped by a group of people.

"Master Ma, the spirit-melting ceremony is about to begin. At that time, none of us are allowed to leave our residence. Can you please give us some Bigu Pills?" A woman shouted to Matthew.

Then, others also spoke one after another.

These people all have the same desire, that is, they want some Bigu Pills.

"I still have a lot of Bigu Pills with me, so let's start with you. How many Bigu Pills do you need?" Matthew thought for a moment and then smiled.

Seeing that Matthew agreed, the woman who spoke first took out a handful of elixir from her arms and said, "Let's stick to the previous rules, one elixir in exchange for one Bigu Pill."

"Yes, the rules remain unchanged." Matthew nodded.

Soon, the woman exchanged the elixir in her hand for thirteen Bigu Pills from Matthew.

During the exchange, Matthew would also casually chat with these people.

Only then did he realize that even if he didn't come, the people here were still going to the alchemy room to find him.

After all, the village is only so big and there are only so many people there, so it’s clear who lives where.

More and more people came to exchange elixirs for Bigu Pills, but Matthew didn't show any impatience.

After borrowing a table and a chair from the store, Matthew sat directly on the street.

This sitting lasted three days.

Within these three days, almost everyone in the village came.

Even those cultivators came to exchange Bigu Pills.

In fact, the biggest demanders for Bigu Pill are these cultivators.

For them, the most important thing is to be able to spend less time eating and practicing.

Matthew already has a lot of Bigu Pills in his body, so even if he changes here for a few years, there will be no problem.

He was also a little lucky that he did not throw away these Bigu Pills when he was sorting out the storage bag.

In the past three days, Matthew has filled a storage bag full of elixirs.

Many of these elixirs are of high value.

The only thing that gave Matthew a headache was that with so many elixirs, he needed a lot of utensils to store them, otherwise the spiritual energy in the elixirs would slowly drain away even if they were kept in the storage bag for a long time.
