The two immortals, Lin Youzhi, the Qianyang Master, and Su Qing, the Lihuo Fairy, are a couple and are known as the Qianli Twins in the outside world.
"The Twin Immortals of Qian and Li!"
Han Changming and Ye Xin were slightly stunned. They had heard of the name of the Qianli Twin Immortals. The Qianli Twin Immortals were relatively famous Jindan cultivators in the outer sea. They were a couple, both sword cultivators with extraordinary strength.
"I am Han Changming, and this is my wife Ye Xin. Fellow Daoist Jiang, Fellow Daoist Lin, Madam Lin, please come in."
Han Changming smiled and nodded, invited the three people into his residence, and Ye Xin made tea to entertain them.
"Fellow Daoist Han, we were introduced by Fairy Qinglian. We heard that you are very good at refining pills. We would like to ask you to refine a kind of elixir. I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han is willing to help?"
Lin Youzhi said politely.
They were looking for someone to refine a particularly unpopular elixir and asked Zhao Tuozi for help. Zhao Tuozi's price was too high, so they wanted to ask Fairy Qinglian for help. Fairy Qinglian had something to do and couldn't leave. After their repeated requests, Fairy Qinglian introduced Han Changming to them.
"Alchemy! Was it introduced by Fairy Qinglian?"
Han Changming was slightly stunned, with a strange look on his face.
Logically speaking, Fairy Qinglian was more famous than him, so why didn't the Qianli Twins ask Fairy Qinglian to make the elixir, but asked him for help instead? This was too weird.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, excuse me for asking, why don't you ask Fairy Qinglian to make the elixir? She is a disciple of Master Lingxiao and is an expert in making elixirs."
Ye Xin asked the question, confusion in her eyes.
"Fairy Wang is busy with something and cannot come here. She strongly recommends Fellow Daoist Han to us and asks for his help. We will definitely reward you handsomely after the matter is completed."
Lin Youzhi said seriously.
"What kind of elixir are you going to make? How many ingredients have you prepared? I can't guarantee that you can make it."
Han Changming looked embarrassed. The two immortals Qianli should have looked for many third-rank alchemists before, so it was impossible for them to directly ask Han Changming for help in making pills.
With the identity and status of the Qianli Twins, it is impossible for them not to know a third-rank alchemist. Either the prices charged by other alchemists are too high, or the elixirs are too unpopular and difficult to refine, or the Qianli Twins have special requirements.
"Bai Xiang Pill, this is the recipe. You can take a look at it first, but we have an additional requirement. You must make at least two pills. We have prepared three sets of materials."
As Lin Youzhi spoke, he took out a blue jade slip and handed it to Han Changming.
Han Changming took the jade slip, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and an expression of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.
The main ingredient of the Baixiang Pill is the inner elixir of the third-level jade-scaled beast, and the urine of various monsters is used as a supplementary medicine. After the immortal cultivator takes it, a special smell will be emitted from his body, which can repel poisonous insects. As for what level of poisonous insects it can repel, it depends on the quality of the pill.
Han Changming understood why Fairy Qinglian was not available. The auxiliary medicine of this elixir was the urine of monsters. The effect of this elixir was a bit useless. If one was strong enough, one could just kill the poisonous insects directly without driving them away. If one was not strong enough, the effect of this elixir would be limited.
This kind of elixir is so unpopular that the reward wouldn't be too high. Considering Fairy Qinglian's identity and status, it's normal that she doesn't look down on it.
If the two immortals Qianli wanted to refine this kind of elixir, they would probably go treasure hunting. Hunting monsters would not be so troublesome.
Han Changming pondered for a moment and said, "Three materials? I can try."
"Friend Han, can you really refine it?"
Su Qing asked in a doubtful tone. If Fairy Qinglian had not strongly recommended Han Changming, they would not have come to them.
"With three materials, it should be no problem to refine two pills."
Han Changming said confidently that many high-level cultivators came to this treasure appraisal conference, and Han Changming also hoped to take this opportunity to make a name for himself.
"Fairy Wang praised Fellow Daoist Han highly. I believe that Fellow Daoist Han must have some outstanding qualities."
Jiang Tianhe smiled and said that the two immortals Qianli found Jiang Tianhe and asked him to help introduce him. When he learned that Fairy Qinglian strongly recommended Han Changming, Jiang Tianhe agreed to introduce him.
After hearing this, Lin Youzhi pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "Okay! I hope Fellow Daoist Han can refine it. Madam, give the materials to Fellow Daoist Han."
Su Qing took out a green storage bag and handed it to Han Changming.
Han Changming took the storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, nodded and said: "Refine it within seven days, and you can come back and get it in seven days."
Lin Youzhi agreed, and after chatting for a while, they said goodbye and left.
After seeing Jiang Tianhe and the other two off, Han Changming returned to his room to make the elixir.
He placed the blue jade slip between his eyebrows and carefully examined its contents.
A quarter of an hour later, Han Changming took down the jade slip, took out the alchemy materials and the Green Flame Burning Heaven Furnace, and injected a spell into the Green Flame Burning Heaven Furnace.
With a muffled "puff" sound, a green flame emerged from nowhere and appeared at the bottom of the Green Flame Burning Sky Furnace.
The preheating was almost done, and Han Changming threw the materials into the Qingyan Burning Heaven Furnace one after another. The demon pill was okay, but the urine of those monsters was so smelly that it almost made Han Changming faint. This was not alchemy at all, but a part-time job guarding the toilet. No wonder Fairy Qinglian said she had no time.
Han Changming cast a protective shield on himself to isolate the smell, which made him feel better.
After a while, the room was filled with an unbearable fishy smell.
······
In a secluded courtyard, Lin Xuan and True Man Qingyan were talking about something.
Lin Xuan fed the Amethyst Flying Scorpion two beast-raising pills and the inner pill of a third-level five-colored sea urchin worm. The Amethyst Flying Scorpion had fallen into a deep sleep. When it wakes up, it is very likely to be promoted to the third level.
"In seven days, the auction will be officially held. I hope you can win a magic weapon that satisfies you. Let's leave Penglai Market later! As you can see, Han Changming is doing well in the outer sea. You must not have a direct conflict with him. Our Qingyun Sect and Tinghai Pavilion are in a cooperative relationship. He dare not deal with you openly."
True Man Qingyan gave these warnings earnestly.
"Disciple understands. By the way, Master, I bought a so-called treasure map from a casual cultivator. I don't know if it's real or fake."
Lin Xuan took out a piece of light blue animal skin. The skin was tattered and there were mountains and water on the surface, as if it was an island. There were three words on the skin. Perhaps it had been stored for too long, the second word could not be seen clearly. Only the first and third words could be recognized - Feix Island.
True Man Qingyan took the map, took a closer look, frowned, and said uncertainly: "I have never heard of this island. A large-scale beast tide broke out more than ten thousand years ago, and many immortal cultivation sects were destroyed. It is possible that this is the base of a sect. However, there are many islands in the outer sea. Let's collect them for now! Maybe we can encounter them in the future."
Lin Xuan nodded and put away the blue animal skin.
······
Seven days passed quickly.
Han Debiao was sitting cross-legged on a green cushion, his body covered by a layer of black light.
After a while, an astonishing murderous aura rushed out of Han Debiao's body. He opened his eyes, and his eyes shone brightly.
The black light on his body dissipated, and a "crackling" sound of bones came from his body, and he stood up.
"The evil spirit of the Beast Tomb is even worse than I thought. Calculating the time, the auction will be held soon."
Han Debiao muttered to himself, removed the ban, and walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the room, he smelled a fishy and unpleasant smell, like the smell of feces and urine.
Han Debiao frowned. He had never encountered such a situation since he entered the world of immortal cultivation.
He went downstairs and happened to see Han Changming coming out of the basement. He found that the smell was coming from the basement.
"Changming, what kind of elixir are you refining? Why does it smell so bad?"
Han Debiao said with a frown.
"I made the Baixiang Pill for the Qianli Twin Immortals. It smells a bit stinky."
Han Changming chuckled and said that he spent seven days and successfully refined four Baixiang Pills.
Strangely enough, the Baixiang Pill is refined with urine from various monsters, and a foul odor is emitted during the refining process, but after it is refined into a pill, the pill emits a unique fragrance.
Han Changming didn't want to take the Hundred Fragrance Pill when he thought about the urine of various monsters being refined into it. As for expelling low-level poisonous insects, the Purple Crystal Flying Scorpion could do it.
The world of cultivating immortals is vast and full of wonders. Perhaps the Hundred Fragrance Pill has other uses.
"Qianli Shuangxian, they asked you to make the elixir? It's no wonder. If it were any other alchemist, they might not be willing to make this kind of elixir. This is too stinky."
Han Debiao walked out quickly with a look of disgust on his face.
Han Changming followed him out. When they walked out of the attic, they saw Ye Xin drinking tea and chatting with the two immortals Qian Li.
Han Debiao nodded at them and strode out.
"Fellow Daoist Han, how is it going? Have you refined it?"
Lin Youzhi looked at Han Changming with anticipation.
Han Changming took out a palm-sized green wooden box, handed it to Lin Youzhi, and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission and have refined it."
Lin Youzhi opened the wooden box and saw four black pills inside. They were shiny and gave off a strong fragrance, which formed a sharp contrast with the stench emanating from Han Changming.
"Four Baixiang Pills!"
There was a flash of surprise in Lin Youzhi's eyes. Baixiang Pill was a somewhat useless pill. It was mainly used to drive away poisonous insects. There were similar pills on the market, but they could only drive away low-level poisonous insects. If one wanted to drive away third-level poisonous insects, Baixiang Pill was still a good choice.
It is impossible that Han Changming has ever refined this kind of elixir. In other words, Han Changming was able to refine four Baixiang Pills with three portions of materials. His alchemy level is indeed high. When an alchemist refines a new elixir, the success rate will not be very high.
Han Changming did not keep any of the Baixiang Pills. He really could not eat the pills made from the urine of various monsters.
Lin Youzhi carefully checked the four pills, confirmed that there was no problem, and nodded to Su Qing.
Su Qing took out a green wooden box, opened it and saw a light silver demon pill inside. The surface of the demon pill was filled with a large number of silver electric arcs.
"This is the inner elixir of a third-level thunder turtle beast. If it is exchanged for spirit stones, it can be exchanged for 100,000 spirit stones."
Su Qing showed a trace of reluctance on her face. Even in the outer sea where there are abundant resources of monsters and beasts, thunder-attributed monster pills are still relatively rare.
Han Changming nodded and accepted the magic pill, intending to use it to feed the thunder rhinoceros worm. This time he was able to make friends with the two immortals Qian and Li, so it was not a wasted trip.
"Friend Han, the treasure appraisal conference will be held today, and the Three Absolutes Immortal will also appear. It is said that the Three Absolutes Immortal will talk about the art of refining weapons. You can go and listen."
Lin Youzhi said politely, his tone becoming much more intimate.
Han Changming nodded. He had heard of Master Sanjue a long time ago, and this was a good opportunity to see the true face of Master Sanjue.
Lin Youzhi put away the pills and stood up to say goodbye.
"Husband, you should go take a shower and change clothes first! Otherwise, it will be too conspicuous. I have prepared everything for you. Please go to the third floor to take a shower and change clothes!"
Ye Xin chuckled and said, there was a foul smell emanating from Han Changming, which was lingering. If he walked out, he would definitely attract attention.
Han Changming nodded and walked towards the attic.
When he came to the third floor, he saw a bathtub filled with hot water. Some light green leaves were floating on the water, emitting a special smell that was a bit like sandalwood.
Han Changming took off his clothes, walked into the bathtub and started washing.
After a cup of tea, Han Changming changed into new clothes and walked out of the attic. He and Ye Xin left the residence and walked outside.
A huge bluestone square was built in the open space between Duobao Palace, Shenbing Tower and Baibing Pavilion. A bluestone platform over a hundred feet in size was built on the platform. A green cushion was placed on the platform. Thousands of monks gathered around the bluestone platform. Some of these monks were whispering to each other, while others kept silent. The streets were crowded with monks.
“Ding ding ding!”
After a loud bell rang, a golden throne descended from the sky, and a handsome young man stood on the golden throne.
The young man was wearing a golden Taoist robe, had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, was tall, and his eyes emitted a faint golden light. He was like a sharp sword that had never been unsheathed, giving people a strong sense of oppression.
As soon as the young man in the golden robe appeared, the monks near the bluestone platform bowed one after another and said in unison: "Junior generation pays homage to the True Man Sanjue."
Thousands of monks spoke at the same time, and their voices spread throughout the Penglai market.
In the distance, Han Changming and Ye Xin were standing on the street, with a crowd of monks in front of them.
Han Changming stared at the Three Absolutes Master, and a sense of pride rose in his heart: "A real man should be like this, respected by thousands of people."
True Man Sanjue nodded and shook his sleeves. A four-colored spiritual light flew out. After a blur, it turned into a four-colored shield. After a loud roar of beasts, the size of the four-colored shield suddenly increased and turned into a size of five meters. There were patterns of turtles, whales, centipedes and thunder eagles on the surface of the shield. They seemed like living things, rotating on the surface of the shield.
"This is the Four Symbols True Spirit Shield, a defensive magic treasure that I have just refined. There will be a Four Symbols Shield at the auction later that is a test product of this treasure. It is a top-grade defensive magic weapon. If you are interested, you can bid for it."
The voice of True Man Sanjue was not loud, but it spread throughout the entire Penglai market.
If you want to refine a magic treasure, you must experiment many times and make continuous improvements. It is impossible to refine a magic treasure in one go.
"The defensive magic weapon refined by the Three Absolutes Immortal must be of very good quality."
"Yes, I hope to take a picture of this treasure."
"Hehe, that depends on who has more spirit stones."
······
The monks were talking non-stop, all trying to flatter True Man Sanjue.
The Three Absolutes True Man changed his spell, and the Four Symbols True Spirit Shield quickly shrank and flew into his sleeve and disappeared. He sat on the futon and said in a deep voice: "Many weapon refiners came to this treasure appraisal conference. I have a lot of experience in weapon refinement. Let me tell you some of my experience!"
After hearing this, the weapon refiners all showed excitement on their faces.
Han Changming nodded secretly. It was worthy of being in the outer sea. He could attend an auction and hear the Nascent Soul cultivators preach. It was a pity that the clan leader was injured and could not come, otherwise he would definitely have gained something.
True Man Sanjue talked about some weapon refining techniques, which could be considered a benefit for high-level cultivators participating in the treasure appraisal conference. However, True Man Sanjue would not tell outsiders the real techniques for refining weapons. Even so, other weapon refiners still gained something.
An hour later, True Man Sanjue finished his sermon.
"Next is the treasure appraisal session. You will come up one by one to display your treasures and share your experiences in refining equipment."
True Man Sanjue said with a pleasant expression.
