"Elder Tang, what do you think?"
As they watched Tang He inspect the refining furnace from top to bottom for quite some time, the excitement on his face mounting until he could not help dancing with delight, the Azure Cloud Sect's senior figures began to feel hopeful as well and hurriedly pressed him for an answer.
"This refining furnace..." Tang He came back to his senses and was about to speak when Tang Zewen suddenly stepped forward. "Wait a moment. Anyone not directly involved should leave for now!"
Everyone immediately understood.
If this refining furnace really had no value, there was no harm in letting everyone present know about it. But if it was highly valuable, strict secrecy was essential, followed by a careful selection of those who would operate it.
Yu Shixian agreed. He glanced around, and everyone withdrew of their own accord. Even a mid-ranking elder like Lang Dong silently left the rear courtyard.
Fang Qianyuan stayed, however. He had earned the credit for securing this refining furnace for the Azure Cloud Sect, and he held the rank of sect elder himself. If he was not qualified to know, then no one was.
Before long, only Fang Qianyuan, Tang Zewen, Yu Shixian, Tang He, and a few others remained in the courtyard.
Only then did Tang He smile and say to Fang Qianyuan, "The records in those official documents were correct. It truly is an Innate Hundred-Treasure Transforming Furnace of the Mei Clan! And it has been preserved exceptionally well. The Dharma-Ending Zone had little effect on it!"
"Really? It can be used to refine innate treasure pills?" Yu Shixian asked, visibly moved.
Innate treasure pills were those containing Primordial Breath. Hearing this, Fang Qianyuan's heart stirred.
The treasure pill I took before...
*It should count as supreme-grade
