The Romance of the Immortal Cauldron

There were so many monks in the city that no one noticed Matthew, a little monk.

It only took a few days for Matthew to obtain a large number of elixirs.

He even bought some middle-grade Qi-nourishing pills refined by others at a price nearly half lower than usual.

When Matthew was selling middle-grade elixirs, he had deliberately made a small mark on each elixir in order to avoid buying the elixirs he sold.

The purple cauldron can only purify the quality of the elixir once. It would be embarrassing if you mistakenly buy an elixir that has been purified by yourself.

In addition, Matthew also spent some spiritual stones to buy a storage bag to hold various medicinal materials.

His original storage bag was already full.

When buying things, Matthew would deliberately stay in one place for a little longer in order to get more information.

This was also effective, and he really learned a very important piece of news.

The items needed by the four major sects can actually be found in Tongtian Peak.

It is precisely because of this that the four major factions would make such a request.

Tongtian Peak is extremely dangerous, with countless powerful monsters and poisonous insects living inside. Even immortal cultivators dare not enter rashly.

Matthew had heard people say how dangerous Tongtian Peak was since he was a child, and naturally he became afraid of it over time.

Even though Tongtian Peak is very dangerous, many people still enter.

After returning home, Matthew thought about the matter over and over again.

Although joining the four major sects is what he longs for, Tongtian Peak is too dangerous. With his current strength, he is afraid that he will be the food of monsters after entering.

Soon, Matthew gave up the idea of ​​entering Tongtian Peak, calmed down and continued to practice hard.

With enough elixirs, Matthew's cultivation speed was no slower than those of the talented monks.

Especially the effects of those refined high-grade Qi-nourishing pills made Matthew linger.

After trying the effects of high-grade elixirs, Matthew gradually began to look down on middle-grade elixirs.

But he didn't have many purified high-grade elixirs.

Besides purchasing, the safest way is to refine it yourself.

Unlike the bustle outside, Matthew is very quiet here.

He still lives a semi-reclusive life, occasionally going out to buy some materials to make elixirs at home.

The days passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was already half a year later.

After living in seclusion for half a year, Matthew's cultivation has reached the peak of the fourth level of Qi refining, and he is still close to breaking through to the fifth level of Qi refining.

And his alchemy skills also improved rapidly during this time.

The refining of the Bigu Pill was immediately replaced by the Rejuvenation Pill after the pill yield reached [-]%.

After that, there was the Qi Nourishing Pill.

I don’t know whether it’s because Matthew’s cultivation level has improved or the effect of the Qi-Nourishing Pill has weakened. After reaching the fourth level of Qi Refining, the effect of the middle-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill on him is already very weak.

Only the top-grade Qi-Nourishing Pill is slightly better, but it is almost the same as when I took the middle-grade pill before.

Matthew didn't find the reason for this. He could only put his mind to the Qi Gathering Pill, which was better than the Qi Nourishing Pill.

The Qi Gathering Pill is a pill suitable for monks at the fifth to tenth levels of Qi refining, and its price is several times higher than the Qi Nourishing Pill.

The most important thing is that the ordinary herbs used to refine the Qi Gathering Pill are no longer useful, and elixirs must be used.

The so-called elixir is a medicinal herb that has been aged for a long time, and after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, it contains spiritual energy inside.

The azure flowers he helped shopkeeper Chen pick before belonged to the category of elixir.

If you want to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, you must get enough elixirs to practice.

His body has been baptized by the middle-grade Marrow Cleansing Pill, and both his bones and meridians are much stronger than ordinary monks.

Especially the meridians, which are often polished by those high-quality Qi-nourishing pills, have long been able to withstand higher-level pills.

After Matthew made up his mind, he disguised himself and started selling the middle-grade Qi Nourishing Pills in the city.

By the way, collect some materials needed to refine the Qi Gathering Pill.

Half a year has passed, and the number of monks in the city has not decreased, but has increased.

The originally deserted stall area of ​​the square is crowded with people every day.

Matthew bought the recipe for the Qi Gathering Pill here, and it only cost ten spiritual stones, which was twice as much as the twenty spiritual stones sold in the previous store.

"Chen Xiaoyou came here today, maybe he has another pill to sell." When Matthew came to a stall in the corner, the stall owner in his thirties immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile.

This person's name is Liu Kang, whom he has met within the past six months.

Liu Kang is a foreign monk who specializes in the elixir business. Matthew talked with him when he first came here. Knowing that Liu Kang's price for purchasing elixirs was quite reasonable, he occasionally cooperated with him.

However, Matthew did not leave the other party with his real name, but instead used the name Chen Hu, which was not allowed.

"Those elixirs, what's the price today?" Matthew asked after smiling slightly.

"I'll give you the old price." Liu Kang deliberately lowered his voice and said close to Matthew.

Matthew nodded when he heard this, and without asking any more questions, he took out ten porcelain bottles from the storage bag and placed them on the stall.

"Each bottle contains ten middle-grade Qi-nourishing pills. Please count them." Matthew said calmly.

Seeing the ten porcelain vases placed on the stall, Liu Kang's eyes lit up, he responded and opened one of the porcelain vases for inspection.

Matthew stood there and watched Liu Kang inspect the ten porcelain bottles one by one.

"That's right, the quality is as good as ever, and the price is still the same. Keep it, little friend." After Liu Kang checked all the elixirs, he took out a cloth bag from the storage bag and handed it to Matthew.

After taking the bag and scanning it with his consciousness, Matthew put it away.

"Little friend Chen, when can you take me to meet the alchemy master behind you? Liu has been looking up to him for a long time." After both parties put away what they needed at the same time, Liu Kang rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Master doesn't like to see outsiders by nature and has a very weird temper. That's why he lets me come out every time. Fellow Daoist Liu, it's better not to think about this matter. If the master is displeased, you and I will no longer be able to cooperate." Matthew said with a deliberate sigh.

During the first transaction, Matthew casually made up a lie about helping the alchemy master sell the elixir.

Every time he came here to trade, Liu Kang would ask to meet the so-called alchemy master.

But how did Liu Kang know that the so-called master in Matthew's mouth was himself.

"Yes, capable people have a bit of a weird temper. Besides selling elixirs, is there anything else the master wants you to do this time?" Liu Kang didn't really want to visit any master, so he just said casually as usual. Just saying.

After Liu Kang finished speaking, Matthew pondered for a moment and then said: "The master recently wanted to refine the Qi Gathering Pill. He really asked me to buy some elixirs outside. I am planning to go somewhere else."

"Materials for the Qi Gathering Pill... You don't have to go anywhere else. I know someone who can meet your requirements, and the price will definitely not be expensive." After listening to Matthew's words, Liu Kang rolled his eyes and said immediately .

"Oh, where is that person now? Could it be you?" Matthew asked with a smile.

"Haha, of course it's not me. I'll call him here. Just wait a moment." Liu Kang waved his hand and hurriedly ran to the side.

While running, he didn't forget to look back at Matthew, as if he was afraid that Matthew would go away.
