Immortal Formula

   Chapter 289 Pill Furnace

  Gu Yan frowned, she looked at the stall owner, "What do you mean?"

The stall owner took two steps closer. Although every stall and storefront here was covered by restrictions, and he was not worried about others seeing the scene inside, he still approached habitually and said, "Since you are practising the art of alchemy, You should know what is the most important thing for an alchemist, right?"

Without waiting for Gu Yan to answer, he continued: "It is naturally a pill stove, and there is no good pill stove, no matter how clever the technique is, you can't make a peerless good pill. I have a pill stove here. The inheritance of the alchemist master Nanyun Jushi a hundred years ago has been hidden at home for a long time, the girl is interested, why not take a look?"

Gu Yan's eyes lit up, and what the stall owner said was true. After she came to Cangwu, she had been distressed that she did not have a pill stove at hand, because Cangwu's aura was different from Shenzhou and Guixuhai. , the pill stove that she used to use, is not a handy one here, but the one that is commonly used, it was damaged for no reason when teleporting, and it would take a lot of effort to repair it, so it would be better to simply find a new one. Some, Gu Yan originally wanted to gather the materials before doing this, but he didn't expect to encounter it here by accident.

   The stall owner saw that Gu Yan was interested, so he smiled and said, "Since fellow Daoists are interested, then come with me. Anyway, this is in the market, so there won't be any danger."

Before Gu Yan spoke, Wei Zhaoyi heard that it was a treasure left by an alchemy master hundreds of years ago, and she said with interest: "Senior sister, let's go and have a look, anyway, there are elders from all major factions here. Watching, are you afraid that he won't be able to rob us?" After saying that, he dragged Gu Yan along.

This series of long stalls are all arranged under a mountain. The stall owner put away the things, and then took two people to the back, turning the long mountain, and behind it was a deep and serene The cave, with its flowing brilliance and splendor, is unique. The stall owner smiled and said: "This is where the foundation-building cultivators come, and it is not seen by ordinary disciples in the Qi refining stage. You can see that on the four walls, there are moonstones hanging, which can be used as spiritual stones for cultivation. It's just for decoration."

  Wei Zhaoyi looked around, obviously feeling that her eyes were not enough, but Gu Yan didn't care, she said lightly, "Can you take out the pill furnace mentioned by fellow Daoists now?"

  The stall owner took them to a corner, and then mysteriously took out something from his arms, only holding it in the palm of his hand and showing it to Gu Yan.

  This pill furnace is in the shape of a tripod, divided into octagons, with nine holes on it, glittering glaze, and a faint fragrance. The stall owner smiled and said, "This is the pill stove that Master Nanyun used in those days. If you smell it, there is also the medicinal incense that he left behind. It is a priceless treasure passed down by my family!"

   Wei Zhaoyi stuck out his tongue, "How much does something like this cost?"

   The stall owner smiled without saying a word. He stretched out a finger and shook it, Wei Zhaoyi said, "One hundred spirit stones?"

   Gu Yan said with a half-smile, "This is the legacy of our predecessors, how can a hundred yuan be enough, or a thousand yuan at least?"

The stall owner laughed and said: "It's still a female Taoist, you have a vision. This pill furnace was used by Master Nanyun in the early stage of foundation building. It is a bit wasteful for high-level monks to use it. I just took it out, so of course I have to make a small profit.”

   Wei Zhaoyi stuck out her tongue. She believed that she did not have such a large net worth. A thousand spiritual stones, even if her parents had accumulated so many years, they might not have half of this amount.

   Gu Yan said lightly at this time: "I'm afraid it's not just a small profit. I don't know how much you can earn from it. Is it three hundred times or five hundred times?"

Only then did the stall owner realize that something was wrong, and he said stunned: "What do you mean, I don't understand..." At this time, Gu Yan raised his hand, and his five fingers rapidly changed shapes in the air, and meteors flashed in the air. The same light, eight moonstones fell into her hands, and then the cave suddenly became dim, it turned out to be just an ordinary deserted cave. Gu Yan said with a smile but not a smile: "Eight moonstones are enough to set up a small Xuanji Illusion Formation. You have set up this formation for more than a day. Tell me how many people have you deceived? , why can't you earn hundreds of times?"

   Wei Zhaoyi opened her mouth wide and looked at her surroundings, "So you are a liar..."

The stall owner's face was blue and white, and he didn't know what to do. This is indeed the formation he used moonstone. Although it is simple, the technique is ingenious. If he didn't wear it, he saw that Gu Yan and Wei Zhaoyi were both shallow, and thought that this time they were able to capture it again. Unexpectedly, Gu Yan not only dismantled the formation, but also took away all the eight moonstones he laid down. This shows that Gu Yan is well acquainted with the distribution of his formation eyes when he is setting up the formation, and his accomplishments in the formation method are obviously far superior to him!

Gu Yan ignored him and said to himself: "You see that I am an outer disciple of Bixia Sect, thinking that even if I am deceived, my teacher will not stand up for me. Bixia Sect only knows the way of alchemy. I'm not good at the study of the formation method. I can't see through your arrangement. I want to go back and find you again. There are restrictions here. Sect disciple, leading art investment teacher, why must not pass the study of formation method?"

She reached out and grabbed the elixir stove held by the stall owner, and said, "This elixir stove is really exquisite, you probably fooled a lot of people with it, but it has purple gold inside and red copper on the outside, so bring it here. It's not bad to watch, but it's not a good material for alchemy." Her voice turned cold, and she looked at the stall owner coldly, "Why don't we go to the senior deacon in Fangshi to clarify?"

The stall owner's face turned grey and white, and he suddenly fell to his knees and said, "Miss, spare your life! Fairy, spare your life! The villain was careless for a while and didn't recognize the girl's identity, and didn't know that the girl had such skills. , Banmen is getting an axe, please forgive me this time!"

   Wei Zhaoyi hid behind Gu Yan and suddenly felt that there was no room for her to interrupt. Gu Yan watched the stall owner crying with snot and tears, but she was not moved, and said, "I want this pill furnace, if you return the spiritual stone just now and report your name, this matter will be revealed. , the two are irrelevant."

   The stall owner was a little surprised. He didn't expect Gu Yan to just forget about it. He quickly stood up and told his origins. He is a local loose cultivator, and he is only in the Qi refining stage. He has some research on alchemy, and sometimes sells some spiritual grasses he has picked here. He deceives people here, but he is very cautious. After all, there is no backer behind him. Once this kind of thing crosses the gang, the sect will not be merciful in punishment. Every time he picks up those small and medium-sized sect disciples who seem to be inconspicuous, like Gu Yan, an outer sect disciple, or Wei Zhaoyi is such an ignorant young lady. Most of them won't notice that they have been deceived. When they do, they usually don't make a sound, and they can only suffer from a dumb loss. This time, he took out the pill furnace. He originally wanted to deceive a hundred spirit stones, but Gu Yan didn't expect it to be dismantled.

  Gu Yan looked at the pill stove in his hand and said, "Although this pill stove is not an antique, its workmanship is not bad. Where did you get it?"

The stall owner said: "This is indeed passed down by a small family, but I don't know the origin. I usually use it for alchemy, but the elixir rate of the alchemy furnace is not high, and half of the products that come out are waste, so the fairy still uses it. Give it back to the little one."

Gu Yan said lightly, "Give the spirit stone to my junior sister, and you can leave when you're done. As for the pill stove, I'll keep it for my own use." After she finished speaking, she put the pill stove in the magic treasure bag and said, "This is Although Xuanji's formation method is a small way, its arrangement is very clever, it doesn't look like it was arranged by you, do you still have accomplices?"

The stall owner's face changed a bit, and he smiled bitterly: "A loose cultivator like Xiao is just trying to make a living, how can he dare to have an accomplice? Formation everyone, naturally it is not worth mentioning."

  Gu Yan nodded and ignored him, asking him to hand over the spirit stone that he had just bought the spirit bead grass, and then took Wei Zhaoyi away. Until he left Fangshi and was on his way back to Bixia Sect, Wei Zhaoyi was still angry, "Sister Yan, why don't you hand over that person to the Deacon's Hall in Fangshi and let him suffer a lot? !"

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Forget it, he also admitted his mistake, why do you have to force it too much? Anyway, we are just here to find the spirit grass, and now not only did we get the spirit pearl grass, but we also earned him twenty spirit stones, which is also considered a gift to him. Let him teach him a lesson. It is not easy to collect this Lingzhu grass, and I think at least two months of his efforts were wasted."

  The two walked out of the gate of Fangshi the same way, and found that Wei Qing had been waiting there for a long time, his face was full of annoyance, obviously he had not found a suitable spiritual weapon. Gu Yan comforted him a few more words and promised to help him find him next time. The three of them chatted and laughed and returned to Bixia Sect. When they got to the mountain, the Wei brothers and sisters naturally had to go back to the front mountain to do their homework, while Gu Yan returned to the spiritual garden. As usual, she first reported today's harvest to Rong Lao, then she hesitated for a while, then took out the pill furnace from the magic bag and said, "Rong Lao, I got something in the market today, please taste it. a bit?"

Rong Lao picked up the pill stove, touched it with his hand, and showed some disdain at first, "This thing is obviously an imitation, can't it be seen through your eyes? Huh..." His hand suddenly stopped, Then take a closer look in front of you.

   "This thing should be a little weird, but I'm mortal, I can't see it, you are a monk, why don't you check the distribution of aura inside?"

Gu Yan smiled bitterly and said, "I have tried various methods, but there is no spiritual energy in it." She didn't say a word. When she saw this pill furnace for the first time, she had already decided to buy it, because The shape of this pill furnace is very similar to the treasure cauldron she saw when she returned to the market!
