The old man pondered briefly, then said, "First, bring out what you've refined and let me see!"
Xu Qingtong hurriedly took out the Houtu Seal and handed it to the old man.
The old man turned the Houtu Seal over in his hands and examined it. "This is the Houtu Seal, one of the Five Elements Divine Seals. Bring out the others too, and I'll examine them together!"
At the old man's words, towering waves instantly surged through Xu Qingtong's heart. This old man's eyes are sharp indeed! He's the first person to recognize the Five Elements Divine Seals, and he even deduced that I have the other seals!
He took out the remaining Divine Seals and handed them to the old man.
The old man laid the Five Divine Seals in a row before him and examined each in turn.
After finishing his examination, the old man closed his eyes and remained silent. A long while later, he opened them and asked, "Where did you learn the method for refining these Five Elements Divine Seals?"
"Senior, I obtained a Black Jade Slip in an ancient ruin. The method for refining these Five Elements Divine Seals was recorded within it." Xu Qingtong could only answer honestly, though his heart felt as if he had swallowed fifteen little mice in one gulp-seven scurrying up and eight down!
"No need to be nervous. Obtaining an ancient artifact-refining art like this was your good fortune!" the old man said. "Bring out the elixirs and talismans you've made as well!"
Xu Qingtong complied, taking out the Blood-Soul Restriction Talisman and the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill and presenting them to the old man with both hands.
The old man took the Foundation Establishment Pill, gave it a cursory look, then held it beneath his nose
