After everyone had eaten their fill, they sat down on the ground and chatted. Li Changfeng hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Elder Wu! I happen to need your help with something!"
Elder Wu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and exclaimed in surprise, "There really is something! Tell me about it!"
Upon hearing this, Yue Hanhai knew what Li Changfeng wanted to ask, and quickly said, "Elder Wu! It's like this, I promised Brother Li that I would refine a pill for him for free."
"He provided us with a pill formula, which is one that our Medicine God Valley does not have. So I agreed to this without asking first. I wonder if Elder Wu could help us refine it?"
Elder Wu was slightly surprised upon hearing this, and quickly said, "Our Medicine God Valley doesn't have any pill formulas!! Quick! Let me see them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Wu felt a little anxious and said awkwardly, "I'm sorry, young Li! I was a little too hasty."
Upon hearing this, the Ironclad Gate elder burst into laughter, "Old Wu just likes some lost and unseen pill formulas, that's why he's in such a hurry. All alchemists are like that, Brother Li, don't take offense. If I saw some good materials, I'd probably do the same!"
"So that's how it is! The pill formula I'm using is the Mighty Elephant Pill! Elder Wu should have heard of it, right?" Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this and slowly handed the pill formula to Elder Wu.
Elder Wu took the pill formula, examined it carefully, and exclaimed with delight, "It really is the long-lost Mighty Elephant Pill! This pill formula is specially made for the Draconic Elephant Prajna. It seems that you are about to advance to the Grandmaster level. You are truly a formidable young man!"
Li Changfeng gave a wry smile upon hearing this. He knew his own situation best. "It's not that easy. I just wanted to prepare in advance!"
Elder Wu nodded upon hearing this, "I see! But that's good! It's always better to prepare in advance than to cram at the last minute. However, we have most of the medicinal materials needed for this formula, but we still need some time to collect the two main ingredients. I'm afraid it will take a while!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "No need! I've already prepared the remaining two main ingredients. The reason I went to Medicine King Valley this time is to find these spiritual herbs!"
Elder Wu was extremely surprised upon hearing this, "What! You found them! These two main ingredients are extremely difficult to find! You found them so easily, kid! Your luck is truly amazing!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "It's not that easy! We put in a lot of effort to get that Blood Spirit Flower, and we almost failed. If it weren't for the help of a few brothers, I probably wouldn't have been able to get this main ingredient!"
The three men chuckled and cupped their hands in greeting, saying, "Brother Li, you flatter us! We only helped a little; you were the one who truly fought the Blood Spirit Flower! We dare not take credit for it!"
Elder Wu laughed upon hearing this, "Alright! Enough with the flattery! Quickly, let me see the two main ingredients and their effects!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng quickly took out two main ingredients and handed them to Elder Wu, saying, "Please take a look!"
Elder Wu examined it carefully and exclaimed in surprise, "The medicinal effects are all quite good! Especially this Yellow Yang Blood Ginseng, which is a hundred years old. It seems that you were the one who bought it at the auction house!"
Li Changfeng smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Yes! I bought it! I just happened to come across this main ingredient, how could I not buy it!"
"Very well! In that case, you can wait for my good news in seven days!" Elder Wu laughed loudly and declared confidently.
"Hahaha! Then I'll leave it to Elder Wu!" Li Changfeng laughed and cupped his hands in greeting.
The Ironclad Gate elder curled his lip, displeased, and said, "You're lucky! You have a new medicine formula to refine! But I don't have any good materials to play with. How boring!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen's eyes gleamed. "Elder Tie! Who said I didn't ask you for materials to refine! Brother Li has them! He killed an Earth-Rock Dragon Crocodile! He took all the materials from it! You can help Brother Li refine some Inner Armor weapons or something to play with!"
Elder Tie's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he stared intently at Li Changfeng. "Young Brother Li! Why didn't you say so sooner? Earth-Rock Dragon Crocodile is such a high-quality material, it's not common. Bring it here! I'll forge some weapons for you for free!"
Li Changfeng pondered for a moment after hearing this. He already had all the weapons he needed, so making a set of Inner Armor seemed a bit redundant. With his physical strength, he didn't need such things at all.
Elder Tie, seeing that Li Changfeng had not given an answer, said angrily, "You brat! Do you look down on my weapon-forging techniques? Even if some people beg me, I will only forge weapons for them if I feel like it. But you have been thinking about it for so long and still haven't given me an answer!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "Elder Tie! You've misunderstood! I just haven't figured out what to do!"
Elder Tie raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, "Oh ho! It seems you have quite a few treasures on you! I can't even think of what to refine. This Earth-Rock Dragon Crocodile's armor is extremely hard, so the best thing to refine would be something like Inner Armor or arm guards!"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng gave a wry smile, "I actually think so too, but it seems a bit redundant for me to do this with my Toughness Cultivation Method!"
Elder Tie raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Oh dear! You really think your Toughness Cultivation Method is invincible, huh! An extra layer of Inner Armor means an extra layer of defense. If you encounter a powerful enemy, it might even save your life! Do you understand?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng suddenly realized, thinking to himself, "Yes! An extra layer of defense is an extra layer of protection! Why not do it? I must have been a fool!"
Then, Li Changfeng took out a large piece of charred armor and threw it on the ground, laughing, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Elder Tie!"
Elder Tie examined the armor carefully and said slowly, "This armor is still relatively intact, although it has some damage. But it's not a big problem. Such a large piece can be used to forge a good set of armor and arm guards. If it had the inner core of this demon beast, it would have unexpected effects!"
"Inner core? I have one! Look!" Li Changfeng took out the inner core of the Earth-Rock Dragon Crocodile and handed it to Elder Tie, saying slowly.
"Hiss! I didn't expect you to get an inner core! You're quite lucky! It's rare for a Grandmaster-level demon beast to have an inner core, so the fact that you got one shows that you're really lucky!" Elder Tie was slightly surprised and chuckled.
"Now that we have the inner core, all that's missing is the right material. We need to combine it with some other materials to make the armor both strong and resilient. Luckily, the materials I've collected are inside, so consider it a gift to you!"
Li Changfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this and cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you for your generosity, Elder Tie!"
Elder Tie smiled slightly upon hearing this, "I'm only helping you this much because we clicked at first sight. No one else would ever receive such treatment!"
Upon hearing this, Sun Hongwen looked on with envy. "Brother Li! You're so lucky! Even as the sect's chief disciple, I don't get this kind of treatment. But you have Elder Tie personally crafting equipment for you. I'm so envious!"
Li Changfeng scratched his head and smiled, "There will be more in the future!"
