The Treasure Bag is Acquired

"Not qualified?"

Dugu Bo's voice rose sharply. He was incomparably excited as he exclaimed, "This pill is flawless and without the slightest imperfection—it can truly be called... a work of divine craftsmanship! I've traveled all across Douluo Continent, yet I've never seen such a perfectly refined Profound Water Pill!"

It took Dugu Bo quite a while to calm down before he finally returned the Profound Water Pill to Li Tianlan.

Dugu Bo exclaimed, "Kid, you really are a little monster! Still, it's fine to use your alchemy skills here with me, but you must not use them anywhere else. Otherwise, it could bring about a fatal disaster. Understand?"

"Grandpa Dugu, I understand!" Li Tianlan nodded.

Of course, he understood the principle that a man could be innocent, yet be condemned for possessing a treasure.

He had dared to reveal his alchemy skills before Dugu Bo because, so far, only he could cure the poison within Dugu Bo's body.

Even if Dugu Bo harbored ill intentions, he had nothing to fear!

"Very good, kid. The Alchemy Furnace is yours!"

Dugu Bo waved his hand. After thinking for a moment, he continued, "Oh, right. Kid, help me refine another Profound Water Pill. I want to give it to Yan Yan!"

"Rest assured, Grandpa Dugu. It's a simple task—leave it to me!"

Li Tianlan nodded.

Then, looking at the Alchemy Furnace on the ground, which weighed over a thousand jin, Li Tianlan realized a very serious problem.

How was he supposed to bring this Alchemy Furnace into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?

He was only level 17 in Soul Power. There was no way he could lift an Alchemy Furnace weighing a thousand jin.

Glancing at the Treasure Bag hanging from Dugu Bo's waist, an idea suddenly came to Li Tianlan.

"Grandpa Dugu, could you help me move this Alchemy Furnace somewhere suitable?"

Li Tianlan gestured at the furnace and said regretfully, "I can't lift it!"

"Ahem, I overlooked that!" Dugu Bo coughed twice.

Li Tianlan's astonishing performance had made him overlook the fact that Li Tianlan was still a child!

Li Tianlan was only seven or eight years old, while this Alchemy Furnace weighed at least over a thousand jin. It truly was far too heavy.

However, as a Titled Douluo, he naturally could not personally handle such menial work!

Otherwise, if Li Tianlan called for him every time he needed to move the Alchemy Furnace, it would be unbearably annoying!

With that thought, Dugu Bo removed the Treasure Bag from his waist and handed it to Li Tianlan. "Kid, this Treasure Bag is a Soul Tool. You only need to guide it with your spiritual power and expend some Soul Power to store the Alchemy Furnace inside. It's yours!"

Li Tianlan was immediately overjoyed. His guess had been correct.

To avoid trouble, Dugu Bo would most likely give him the Treasure Bag! Without hesitation, he accepted it and thanked him, "Thank you, Grandpa Dugu!"

"Mm!"

Dugu Bo was very satisfied with Li Tianlan's response. He said, "Kid, your alchemy has already surpassed mine, but your knowledge may still be lacking. If you come across any medicinal ingredients you don't recognize, come ask me!"

With Xiao Yan's guidance, Li Tianlan naturally did not need to worry about such matters.

Even so, he knew Dugu Bo was concerned for him.

Thus, he obediently replied, "Don't worry, Grandpa Dugu. If I encounter any herbs I don't recognize, I definitely won't go near them!"

Dugu Bo nodded at that and said nothing further. With a turn, he vanished from atop the small hill.

After Dugu Bo left, Xiao Yan, who had remained silent all this time, suddenly spoke. "Tianlan, did you forget something?"

"Forget something..."

A flash of insight struck Li Tianlan's mind, and he suddenly realized. "You mean... curing the Poison Douluo's poison?"

"That's right! But it's no big deal. We can talk about it next time!"

Xiao Yan did not take it seriously.

Li Tianlan nodded slightly and looked at the Alchemy Furnace beside him, which was even taller than he was.

He immediately activated his Soul Power and stored the Alchemy Furnace inside the Treasure Bag.

Afterward, he returned to the side of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and set down the Alchemy Furnace. Looking at the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot some distance away, he asked excitedly, "Teacher, shall we begin refining the Icefire Apricot Pill now?"

However, Xiao Yan said, "No rush. In my current state, refining a seventh-grade pill would be somewhat difficult. The success rate is only fifty percent!"

"Fifty percent?"

Li Tianlan frowned slightly. This was troublesome!

There was only one set of materials. If Li Tianlan had to choose, he would rather wait until he reached level thirty and directly consume the two Immortal Grade Herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot, than gamble on a fifty-percent chance!

After all, finding another pair of Immortal Grade Herbs on Douluo Continent would be incredibly difficult!

"Don't worry. Fifty percent is only the probability in my current state! These two Immortal Grade Herbs are extremely precious. Unless I'm at least ninety-nine percent certain, I won't make a move!"

Xiao Yan's experience was extensive, and he immediately knew what Li Tianlan was thinking. He explained, "Many of the herbs around this Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well can strengthen spiritual sense! Refining them into pills will greatly enhance both my spiritual sense and your spiritual power. By then, refining a Seventh-grade Pill will be as easy as turning over one's hand!"

"So that's how it is. Teacher, I understand!"

Hearing that it would only take some time, Li Tianlan immediately breathed a sigh of relief!

He had plenty of time right now, so there was no need to rush.

Xiao Yan swept his spiritual power over the Alchemy Furnace beside him, then said, "Kid, there are two sets of materials left. Strike while the iron's hot—refine one batch first and get a feel for it!"

"No problem, Teacher!"

Hearing this, Li Tianlan nodded slightly, his heart tinged with excitement.

He took out the ingredients for the Profound Water Pill. Since it was his first time refining pills, it would have been impossible not to feel nervous.

Once he had all the materials ready, Li Tianlan followed the steps.

First, he used the Bone Spirit Cold Flame to heat the Alchemy Furnace, bringing it to the proper temperature.

Then, he tossed the Mystic Tortoise Shell into the furnace flames, slowly roasting it into liquid and evaporating the impurities within.

Using his spiritual power, Xiao Yan silently observed Li Tianlan's movements, and a trace of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Soon after, that surprise turned into shock.

To be honest, Xiao Yan had already prepared words of comfort for Li Tianlan after two consecutive failures!

In his view, being able to control the Heavenly Flames on one's first attempt without burning the herbs into ash was already a success.

After all, Xiao Yan's own first attempts had all ended in failure.

Yet Li Tianlan's performance was simply monstrous.

His movements went from awkward to practiced, then became as smooth as flowing water as he fed various herbs into the Alchemy Furnace in a steady rhythm.

One by one, he refined them into pure medicinal droplets!

Vaguely, he had already captured eighty percent of Xiao Yan's essence!

"Hiss!" Xiao Yan sucked in a sharp breath, deeply shaken.

Given enough time, Li Tianlan would surpass his teacher and exceed him, reaching an even higher realm—it was only a matter of time!

At that moment, Xiao Yan finally understood Dugu Bo's mindset: Li Tianlan really was a little monster!
