第三卷 幽州乱 第四百四十九章 紫龙鼎和万年雪晶

This was natural.

Lin Xuan nodded. He took the jade box from Yang Qianxin and glanced at it before carefully storing it in his storage bag.

"Senior, is there anything else you need? If not, I shall take my leave now. I will have the medicinal pills delivered to you within a few days."

"Very good. Then thank you, Sect Master Ouyang and Fellow Daoist Lin. If you have any further requests, do let me know and I will try my best to fulfill them."

"Yes," said Ouyang Qianxin as she bowed respectfully before leading Lin Xuan away.

As the two figures vanished in the teleportation array, Tai Xu Zhenren fell into a moment of silence. Then he spoke softly.

"How do you think? This boy has managed to refine the Nine Yang Reviving Pill. How many layers does his mastery reach?"

"Not enough to claim full mastery, but I estimate it's at least seven or eight layers."

With a calm voice, a middle-aged man stepped out from the darkness. He had three long beards and an unusual appearance, exuding a powerful aura of energy.

His face was striking, and every movement he made revealed the grace of a master. Although not as refined as the White Sword Immortal, his abilities were close. The Bìyún Mountain truly had a rich heritage, having been passed down for ten thousand years.

"Uncle Senior," said the middle-aged man hesitantly, "why are you offering the Sacred Essence Token as a reward? According to my estimation, even if we offer something else, he would still be willing."

"Yes," replied Ouyang Qianxin. She led Lin Xuan into the room without further words.

Lin Xuan was taken aback and showed a thoughtful expression on his face. It seemed that Ouyang Qianxin's position in Bìyún Mountain was higher than he had imagined, allowing her to enter such an important area so easily.

However, Lin Xuan did not ask any questions. He followed Ouyang Qianxin through a long corridor and entered a spacious stone chamber.

The stone room was circular, about one hundred feet in diameter, and despite being deep within the mountain, it was brightly lit due to countless night pearls embedded on its walls.

In the center of the room were ten differently sized colored light domes. Each dome exuded an aura of energy, clearly indicating powerful restrictions inside them, containing various treasures such as mid-grade crystals, alchemical materials, jade boxes of different sizes, and magical artifacts.

Lin Xuan's eyes widened as he examined the offerings. It seemed that Bìyún Mountain had indeed reaped a bountiful harvest in this region.

He released his spirit sense to search through the domes slowly. Ouyang Qianxin was surprised and turned her head to look at him with a meaningful glance, but said nothing.

She gracefully approached one of the light domes and extended her hand, casting a spell that caused the dome to flicker before gradually vanishing. A small ancient-looking tripod emerged from within.

Ouyang Qianxin cast a levitation spell on it and spoke in a cheerful voice: "Young Sect Master, how do you like this cauldron?"

Lin Xuan looked up and extended his hand, and the small tripod slowly floated towards him.

The cauldron was not large but had an elegant design. Its body was purple with a carved dragon that seemed lifelike.

"Zilong Cauldron!" Lin Xuan's face showed some emotion.

"Fellow Daoist Lin indeed recognizes this item," Ouyang Qianxin said gracefully.

"Of course, while it may not be unparalleled in the world, it can still be considered an extraordinary treasure. I have heard of its existence."

In Youzhou, the art of alchemy was primarily dominated by Lingyao Mountain, a sect renowned for its alchemical techniques.

However, there was also a family named Zhao that excelled in this field as well, though their influence could not compare to Lingyao Mountain's. Their lineage had been practicing alchemy for over a thousand years.

Lin Xuan once heard Master Tongyu mention that the Zhao family's alchemy was insignificant compared to Lingyao Mountain's. However, they possessed an extraordinary treasure: the Zilong Cauldron.

He recalled his master's expression with envy; it was clear that only something truly special could capture such attention.

Unfortunately, Master Tongyu did not elaborate on its specific merits.

Lin Xuan's thoughts raced as he regained a calm demeanor: "This cauldron will do."

Afterward, he stored the Zilong Cauldron in his storage bag.

"Another matter I wish to request of you, Senior."

"There is no need for formality. Please ask," Ouyang Qianxin said warmly.

"When Fellow Daoist Lin inspected your collection, there was a piece of alchemical material that caught my interest. Can it be spared? In return, I will compensate with equivalent value in crystals."

"Ah, I see. What item does Young Sect Master have his eyes on?" Ouyang Qianxin asked seriously.

"Ten-thousand-year-old snow crystal," Lin Xuan said as he turned to look left.

In a blue light dome was a fist-sized peculiar crystalline formation that resembled a burning flame but emitted an icy chill.

This rare material originated from the far north, where ice had not melted for ten thousand years. It was an excellent ingredient for crafting iceattribute treasure artifact.

"Ah, this…" Ouyang Qianxin's face showed some difficulty. The item in question had already been claimed by a fellow alchemist within the sect who intended to use it for his own immortal treasure.

"Why so hesitant?"

"This item has other uses within the sect, but since Young Sect Master values it, I will exchange it with you," Ouyang Qianxin said decisively.

Publicly, the Nine Yang Reviving Pill was more important. Privately, she intended to help him out of Uncle Senior's instructions.

"Thank you, Senior. Fellow Daoist Lin is deeply grateful." Lin Xuan's face lit up as he produced a jade bottle from his pocket and handed it to Ouyang Qianxin.

"What is this?"

"It's a token of reciprocity. This medicinal pill is my gift in return for your assistance. You must have heard of the Divinedew."

"Divinedew?" Ouyang Qianxin was surprised, then showed genuine joy. She knew about the name; it was a miraculous medicinal that could heal severe injuries but not bring back the dead.

It was far more precious than ordinary healing pills likehemostatic pillandgolden wound pill, even surpassing general alchemical pills used to increase the power of condensation period cultivators.

"Such kindness from you is hard to refuse," Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Ouyang Qianxin's face lit up. "Fellow Daoist Lin, I am honored by your generosity. This Divinedewis indeed precious, but it is no more than a token of my gratitude for your aid."

Lin Xuan's eyes sparkled as he hesitated before presenting the jade bottle to her.

"Thank you, Senior." With this rare material in hand, his goal of crafting the Nine Heavens Bright Moon Ring had taken another step closer.
