You Broke My Treasure
A Jade Bottle traced a graceful arc in the air, Jade Bottle "ding," it landed lightly on the jade platform.
Xiao Tian turned to look at Xuan Yi behind him. It was Xuan Yi who had thrown the jade Jade Bottle over. The two exchanged a glance. Given their well-understood relationship, everything was understood without words.
"This is a Two-Colored Rank 8 Pill. After taking the Soul Gathering Pill, it can temporarily enhance half of one's soul, but only for those below the Heavenly Soul. I wonder if this is satisfactory?" Xuan Yi said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the old man stiffened slightly, then his face quickly lit up with ecstatic joy. He swiftly grabbed the Jade Bottle, as if afraid the other party would change their mind, and chuckled, "Of course I'm satisfied, extremely satisfied."
With this pill, he might even be able to try refining Rank 8 One-Colored Pill Lightning pill himself. His face beaming with excitement, he casually pushed four or five items forward. "Consider these a gift."
Xiao Tian glanced at them; they were all medicinal materials for refining sixth or seventh-grade pills, which was not bad. He didn't stand on ceremony and put these things away along with the Lapis Grass.
"I'll take my leave now!" The old man couldn't wait to go back and try it out. He had already checked the pill and there was no problem with it. Moreover, the other party's Purple Gold Emblem was enough to reassure him about the pill.
After all, Two-Colored Pill Lightning Rank 8 Pill might be nothing to them.
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Xiao Tian also left with Xuan Yi and the others, as there was nothing else of value at the other party's stall.
The group continued to explore the entire trade fair, but they couldn't find the other three main medicinal herbs. However, they did find five auxiliary medicinal herbs.
"This trade fair was quite successful." Xiao Tian smiled.
"This place isn't open every day; it only hosts events once every one to two years, so it naturally has a lot of good stuff inside."
Unless he's in Secluded Cultivation, Xuan Yi usually comes over to check if there are any other medicinal herbs that have been overlooked.
This time, I found two medicinal herbs that I needed. For Alchemist, medicinal herbs are something they love. Regardless of whether they need them or not, they like to buy high-grade medicinal herbs.
Alchemist a profession where almost everyone is a collector. Killing a high-level Alchemist can be incredibly lucrative, but very few people do it, except for a select few.
Seeing that there was nothing else, the four went back upstairs and stood in front of the counter.
At this moment, in addition to the Deacon, there were two more elderly men in front of the counter.
"Elder, these two are here to exchange the medicinal herbs." Upon seeing Xuan Yi and the others return, the Deacon hurriedly stepped forward and respectfully said, then proceeded to introduce the medicinal herbs the two wanted to sell.
To Xiao Tian's surprise, one of the people who made the move was actually Green Wood Heart.
Green Wood Heart is the heartwood of the evergreen tree, a rare medicinal material used to heal injuries, strengthen the body, and enhance affinity with attributes.
The other person offered two auxiliary medicinal herbs, but both were rare and difficult to obtain.
In the end, Xuan Yi exchanged one Soul Gathering Pill for each of the three medicinal herbs.
The two elders left quickly after the transaction was completed. After all, facing a Core Elder of the Pill Tower, they, who were only Rank 7 Intermediate Alchemist, felt quite pressured.
"You did a great job this time. This is your reward. If there are any more, just ask someone to find Elder Qin Zhengfeng. The more you find, the greater the reward will be."
Xuan Yi took out a Mid-Grade Seventh-Rank Pill, placed it on the counter, gave some instructions, and then led Xiao Tian and the other two away.
"Yes, thank you for the gift, Elder!" The Deacon could not hide his excitement. Seeing how generous the other party was, he made up his mind to work even harder to find medicinal herbs. This was a rare opportunity.
The other Elder used to act all high and mighty, but they never offered any benefits and were sometimes even humiliated.
After wandering around outside again, the four returned to their residence on the top floor of the Pill Tower.
"Daddy, quickly bring out that thing you found and let me see it."
Inside the main hall of Xuan Yi's room, Xiao Ling climbed onto Xiao Tian's lap and sat there impatiently.
Xiao Meng and Xuan Yi on the other side also looked on with anticipation.
"Alright, alright." Xiao Tian took out the fist-sized piece of Amber from his System Space and placed it on the table.
"This broken stone? Isn't this just ordinary Amber?" The three of them curiously examined the yellow Amber on the table. Xiao Ling poked the Amber in confusion and asked.
"Could the treasure you're talking about be that little beetle-like insect inside?"
Xuan Yi scanned the area several times with his Soul Power but found nothing wrong. There was only one insect and some small black stones inside, and he had never seen the insect before.
However, the aura emanating from it was only equivalent to that of Dou Zong, and it had even lost all life force; it was truly just a lifeless object.
"That's right, Daddy, stop keeping me in suspense~~" Xiao Meng said coquettishly, pulling on Xiao Tian's shoulder.
"Okay~" Xiao Tian patted his two daughters' heads and said to Xuan Yi, "Burn it with flames!"
A bright red flame appeared in Xuan Yi's hand; it was a sub-flame of Xiao Tianqilin Burning Heaven Sacred Flame, and not just any sub-flame, but one transmitted to Xuan Yi through a special channel.
If the Child Fire given to Xiao Yan previously possessed only one percent of its power, then this specially transmitted Child Fire possesses one-tenth of the power of the Qilin Burning Sky Sacred Fire. According to Xuan Yi's perception, it is enough to rival the Nine Nether Golden Ancestor Fire, which ranks seventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.
The Amber melted considerably upon contact with the Child Fire, and Xuan Yi looked at Xiao Tian with a puzzled expression.
"Keep burning."
Upon hearing Xiao Tian's words, Xuan Yi understood that the Amber outer layer was not a treasure.
Five seconds later, the golden Amber had vanished, leaving only four rice-grain-sized black stones and a small black beetle on the table.
Xiao Ling looked at the beetle, which was slightly larger than an adult's finger, and took out a jade rod from her Storage Ring.
The moment the jade staff in her hand touched the black beetle, it shattered with a snap, turning into small pieces.
Xiao Ling froze on the spot, the jade stick slipped from her hand and fell onto the table with a crisp laugh.
"This... this... I didn't mean to, I didn't expect her to be so fragile." Xiao Ling looked at Xiao Tian with slight panic, then picked up the jade stick again and shoved the beetle corpse together.
"Hahaha." Seeing Xiao Ling's cowering posture and actions, Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh, pretending to have a stern face. "You've ruined my treasure, your butt's in trouble now."
"Ah?!!" Xiao Ling threw down the jade stick in her hand and snuggled into Xuan Yi's arms.
