Chapter 508: Jin Wu and Jade Rabbit

Feng Yangzi's smile became even more bitter, and this time it was somewhat genuine!

He sighed: "What virtue or ability do I have to invite a Yang Spirit True Person of the Shenxiao Sect to take action?"

"I merely used my connections and spent a great price to invite a Yin Spirit True Person to use a magic treasure of the Shenxiao Sect to trigger the Bi Xiao Divine Thunder! That heavenly rain only fell for three parts, and from it, I refined eighty-one drops of Bi Luo Heavenly Water. Even though I paid a heavy price, I only obtained three drops!"

"That means three chances!" Qian Chen smiled slightly, grasping the crux of what Feng Yangzi had said.

Looking at the bitterness in his smile, the Shenxiao Sect must have cut deep. They were indeed one of the oldest immortal sects overseas. This drop of Bi Luo Heavenly Water must have cost True Person Feng Yang a significant portion of his net worth. However, they ran a monopoly, and Qian Chen could only envy them!

Feng Yangzi took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said: "I spent most of my net worth, and the spiritual medicines I prepared were only enough for three portions! After much thought, I truly couldn't find a master of alchemy who had ten parts certainty to refine this pill for me. Previously, hearing that wretch repeat what you said, Fellow Daoist, it hit the key to this pill, so you must be a master proficient in this path. Hence, I rashly sought an excuse to come and ask for advice!"

"I wouldn't dare to call it asking for advice!" Qian Chen also smiled and nodded, modestly saying: "I just understand a little! How precious is this Reincarnation Pill? Even if I take action, I only have three parts certainty!"

"Three parts is already not little!"

Only then did Feng Yangzi reveal his purpose. He took a jade talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Qian Chen with both hands, saying: "I wonder if you can solve this pill for me, Fellow Daoist? As long as you refine one spiritual pill recorded in the jade talisman, I have an island containing a spiritual vein, dozens of miles in circumference, enough to open a sect, which I will offer to you!"

"There are also over a hundred thousand spiritual medicines, a hundred True Talismans of the Three Mountains, twenty bushels of spiritual pearls, two hundred ships of gold and jade ore, plus ten pieces of superior magic tools, two thousand beautiful maids, three hundred warriors..."

Feng Yangzi was truly worthy of being the great tycoon who had managed the Hundred Boat Sea Society for thousands of years. Without blinking an eye, the wealth he threw out had the spirit of Sister Si!

Although his foundation was slightly inferior to the aristocratic families of the Central Lands, in terms of wealth, even the cash that the Wang and Xie families could produce would lag behind.

Qian Chen took the jade talisman, his magic power slightly circulating, and thousands of tiny characters appeared on it, written in Cloud Seal Script, hiding the pill formula within the talisman text. Just to see some clues required no weak attainment in alchemy.

He Qilang looked at it from the side and only felt dizzy. It was only by following the eight-character secret Qian Chen had taught him that he could see three parts of the flavor.

He secretly thought: "This jade talisman is likely an ancient object. The recorded pill formulas are worth a fortune. The two I can see both have extraordinary wonders. Refining just one would be worth a fortune."

"However, this jade talisman records at least thirteen pill formulas, and I can only see two of them. If I contemplate them carefully, I should be able to see a few more. But there are at least five pill formulas that I cannot see any clues for no matter what, and I don't even recognize the spiritual medicines recorded on them... I wonder how many the Master can see?"

And Qian Chen just glanced at it casually and said: "These twenty pill formulas range from shallow to deep, each with its own wonders, and the difficulty of refining them varies greatly. If Fellow Daoist Feng wants to test me by refining any one of these spiritual pills, it would be too unfair to that heavy reward!"

"Oh?" True Person Feng Yang was skeptical, smiling half-heartedly: "I asked Master Dan Fuzi, the most famous in the Sea Market, to take action, and he only saw sixteen pill formulas on it. I didn't expect there to be such hidden mysteries!"

Qian Chen knew this was questioning and also testing. He secretly thought: "There are twenty-four pill formulas on it, and I hid four! This was at least left by a Nascent Soul alchemist. Many medicinal principles, even I can correspond them with the *Supreme Alchemy Scripture* and gain something!"

"I suppose the alchemy principles in the Central Lands and overseas are different. How about I write down the names of those twenty pill formulas, and you correspond them, Fellow Daoist?"

Qian Chen stretched out his finger, took a talisman brush, and wrote down the names of the twenty pill formulas on yellow paper. It took less than half an hour in total. Feng Yangzi took the talisman paper, unfolded it, and saw that the first nine pill names were no different from what Dan Fuzi had said, and from then on to the sixteenth, they were also largely the same, only differing in some subtle flavors.

And according to Feng Yangzi's vision, these subtle points should be where Qian Chen was superior.

But Dan Fuzi had spent half a year just to decipher those sixteen pill formulas, while Qian Chen had only glanced at them, taking less than half an hour in total.

Feng Yangzi had no correspondence for the last four pill names, but thinking Qian Chen shouldn't be deceiving him, he folded the talisman paper and cupped his hands with a smile: "Naturally, you are superior, Fellow Daoist!"

Even the last bit of hostility in Feng Yangzi's eyes dissolved.

Qian Chen saw his true nature clearly. This person was truly someone who could pick things up and put them down. An ambitious person who, if there was utility, could even temporarily put aside the hatred of a father's killer.

Feng Yangzi looked at him without blinking. Even with such composure, a trace of joy couldn't help but appear between his brows. He looked up at Qian Chen and cupped his hands again, saying: "I wonder which pill you want to refine, Fellow Daoist? I will have people prepare the spiritual medicines right away!"

Qian Chen raised his hand slightly and smiled: "No hurry!"

Holding the jade talisman, seeing that Feng Yangzi had no intention of asking for it back, he couldn't help but secretly say: "Generous!"

"The spiritual medicines recorded on these twenty pill formulas are complex. Even if you plan for them, Fellow Daoist, I fear it will take a lot of effort. It just so happens that among the spiritual pills I refined in the past, one has medicinal properties somewhat similar to the record in the tenth pill formula..."

"Oh!" Feng Yangzi's face showed surprise: "Is it such a coincidence? This tenth pill formula is..."

"Jin Wu and Jade Rabbit Pill!"

Qian Chen feigned a look of pride, took a jade bottle from his sleeve, and poured out a spiritual pill. The spiritual pill looked like the great sun, and under Qian Chen's sleeve, it rose to a height similar to the current sun.

Then he said: "I wonder if this pill is worthy of that tenth pill formula!"

The spiritual light was upright and not evil, slightly swallowing the sunlight, and had a distinct harmony with the sun shining into the cave.

Feng Yangzi only touched it with his spiritual sense and said: "This is an excellent spiritual pill!"

He took this ball of spiritual light, closed his eyes to sense it, and only opened them after a while, excited: "Such a spiritual pill is no less wonderful than the Jin Wu and Jade Rabbit Pill recorded in this ancient alchemy book! Such a pill is naturally worthy."

"I will have people send the previously promised wealth to your door, Fellow Daoist!"

He took a golden talisman from his sleeve and said: "This is the secret key to the restrictions of Linghua Island, three thousand miles to the east. From now on, this island is your private property, Fellow Daoist!"

Feng Yangzi pondered for a moment and cupped his hands: "Coming here in a divided spirit today was extremely rash. Another day, I will come in person to politely invite you to take action and refine the Reincarnation Divine Pill for me. Once the pill is refined, the Innate Spiritual Root hidden by my Hundred Boat Sea Society will be offered immediately, without a word of falsehood!!"

Qian Chen laughed: "I am a lone wanderer, with no one to rely on. Your cultivation is a hundred times better than mine, Fellow Daoist. If I am under your roof, even if I meet with misfortune on the day the pill is refined, is there anyone who will trouble you for me?"

Hearing such suspicious words, Feng Yangzi only raised an eyebrow and accepted it calmly!

He heard Qian Chen change the subject: "Moreover, when refining the Reincarnation Spiritual Pill, it is extremely easy to attract the aura of the Nine Heavens. It requires an excellent furnace fire. Under your command, Fellow Daoist, there may not be any suitable fire vents..."

Feng Yangzi knew his meaning and pondered for a moment before saying: "What do you mean, Fellow Daoist?"

"When we alchemists open the furnace to refine pills, if we want to gain people's trust, we invite fellow Daoists from all directions to hold a Pill Assembly. This is an ancient custom and also an elegant affair in alchemy. I heard that the Luo Zhen Immortal Sect has an excellent fire vein, which just happens to suit my needs for refining pills. The Luo Zhen Immortal Sect is also a proprietor of the Sea Society. If I ask you to come forward, Fellow Daoist, to convene a Pill Assembly and invite many fellow Daoists to appreciate the divine pill, it shouldn't make things difficult for you, right!"

Feng Yangzi pondered repeatedly, stood up and bowed: "There are many keys to this matter, I still need to go back and consider it carefully!"

"The day is late, I won't disturb you further. If I make a decision in the future, I will send a flying talisman to you, Fellow Daoist. When I go back, I will also strictly restrain my subordinates so they don't disturb you. I will certainly ensure you have no worries, Fellow Daoist!"

"I will take my leave now!"

Qian Chen bowed slightly and smiled: "Go slowly, Fellow Daoist!"

Feng Yangzi's figure dissolved into clouds and smoke and escaped with the wind. Qian Chen watched his departing back and smiled: "Truly a delicate person!" ===== CHAPTER 509 =====
