Primordial Eight Trigrams Furnace
Back inside, Qin Fei went to Old Zhang's side.
"You just focus on recovering. Don't worry about the rest; I'll handle it."
Old Zhang nodded slowly, grasped Qin Fei's hand, and said:
"Qin boy, tell me, am I going to die soon?"
"No way, you'll be able to get out of bed after a while of rest."
Old Zhang gave a wry smile.
"You can't fool me. I know my own body. But I'm not afraid. I've lived long enough."
He coughed a few times and continued:
"Qin boy, there's only one thing I'm worried about right now, and that's that girl Youqing."
"If I leave, please take care of things for me, then I'll have no regrets."
Qin Fei quickly waved his hand and said disdainfully:
"Don't entrust your child to me. You can live for a few more years without any problem. If you have any funeral arrangements, go and tell that girl yourself."
Old Zhang lit up upon hearing this.
"Do I really have a few more years to live?"
"Absolutely true. Once you've recovered, hurry up and draw those talismans. That way, when you die, you can leave me a good inheritance, so I don't feel like I've given you away for nothing."
Qin Fei joked.
Old Zhang also burst into laughter, accompanied by fits of coughing.
"Get lost, you brat, all you do is annoy me."
Seeing that Old Zhang had regained some of his energy, Qin Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
He gave a few more instructions and then walked towards the door.
Just then, Old Zhang's voice came from behind:
"Young Qin, there's no need for you to seek revenge for me. Don't cause trouble. You're new here, so as long as you all stay safe and Old Zhang, I'll be at ease."
Qin Fei paused, then nodded slightly and walked out the door.
Many Treasures Pavilion).
It is one of the top "general merchandise" shops in the northern part of the city.
Although it's called miscellaneous items, the things inside are quite sophisticated.
According to the hyacinth mentioned earlier, the variety of goods sold here is so vast that there's nothing they won't sell, only things you can't imagine.
Whether it's elixirs, talismans, magic arrays, puppets, or anything else, it has it all.
If you have a wide variety of items to buy and need to visit many places, Many Treasures Pavilion is the place to go.
Qin Fei was about to go into seclusion, so he came here to make some preparations before his seclusion.
As soon as they entered, a young servant greeted them.
The servant was dressed in a standard long robe and had a smile on his face.
What would you like to order, sir?
Qin Fei looked around and saw a dazzling array of goods, nodding in approval.
The hyacinth was not exaggerating; the goods sold here were indeed complete.
"I want to see the Pill Furnace."
"Sir, you've come to the right place. Our Pill Furnace are all crafted by Master Ou Yezi; Higher Vehicle quality, no worse than those sold in those alchemy shops."
The servant boasted as he led Qin Fei to a counter.
"These Pill Furnace are our store's best-selling items. Which one catches your eye, sir? Let me tell you about it."
Qin Fei glanced around and frowned slightly.
The Pill Furnace in front of him looked good, but it didn't meet his requirements.
Do you sell second-tier Pill Furnace?
"Second order?"
The servant was slightly taken aback, then his face lit up with ecstatic joy.
"Yes, yes, please follow me, sir."
He led Qin Fei upstairs to the second floor, where a bloated middle-aged man walked towards them.
Upon sensing the man's presence, Qin Fei felt a chill run down his spine.
That aura was extremely terrifying; it belonged to a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator.
Qin Fei had cultivated in Shangyu Market for many years, and the number of times he had met Foundation Establishment cultivators could be counted on one hand.
I never expected to run into this place while just buying a few things.
Repel the North City was indeed far superior to Shangyu Market Fang.
"Shopkeeper, this customer wants to buy a second-tier Pill Furnace."
The obese man nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand. The servant, overjoyed at finding a treasure, left.
"Fellow Daoist, you are already able to refine second-tier pills at such a young age. You are truly remarkable."
Qin Fei shook his head and said calmly:
"Senior is too kind. I don't have that kind of ability. This trip is for purchasing items for the elders of my clan."
"Oh? I know a little about the Lineage in Repel the North City, but I wonder which family you belong to?"
Qin Fei had already prepared an answer to the old man's probing questions.
"I come from the Lu Household. You may not have heard of us, senior. We just moved here from Shangyu Market."
Regardless of the old man's intentions, he just wanted to pin the blame on the Lu Household.
"So you're a fellow Daoist from Shangyu Market. My apologies for my rudeness. Let's take a look at the Pill Furnace first."
With a flick of his sleeve, three Pill Furnace appeared on the counter.
"This is the Purple Yang True Furnace, a second-tier, low-grade furnace. It can condense the power of true fire, making the flames purer and improving the quality of the elixirs."
The bloated man pointed to the first Pill Furnace and explained.
Qin Fei seemed to be deep in thought.
Since this furnace can enhance the power of the flames, the alchemical fire must not be easy to control.
Although it is easier to refine high-quality pills, if the success rate decreases, then the losses outweigh the gains.
This kind of Pill Furnace is usually suitable for people who have absolute confidence in their alchemy skills and pursue top-quality pills. Qin Fei clearly not in this category.
His alchemy skills were learned from the Big Yellow, and he had already laid a certain foundation by refining the five elements into pills.
Since he began preparing the Foundation Establishment Pill, he has frequently consulted with the Big Yellow and practiced diligently, and his current skill in Dao of Alchemy is quite high.
However, this time he needs to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, which he is still far from being able to do.
If the Big Yellow hadn't said he was confident he could advance him to the second-tier Alchemist, he really wouldn't have dared to try so easily.
Therefore, it is natural not to choose Pill Furnace that affects the success rate of pill formation.
"This second one is called the Mystic Wood Rejuvenation Furnace. This furnace is somewhat special; it is best suited for refining wood-attribute pills. If it aligns with your elders' goals, it would be a good choice."
Qin Fei pondered for a moment, then shook his head slightly.
"My ancestor practiced metal-based Cultivation Method, so I'm afraid that's not suitable."
Seeing this, the bloated man continued to introduce the third Pill Furnace.
"This is no ordinary item; it's the only mid-grade, second-tier Pill Furnace on this floor, named the Primordial Eight Trigrams Furnace."
"Its furnace contains primordial energy, which can balance the true fire and the medicinal effects, increasing the probability of pill formation. However, the price is naturally much higher."
Qin Fei raised his head slightly.
How many Spirit Stones?
The obese man held up two fingers and said:
"Two hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone."
Upon hearing the price, Qin Fei nodded secretly; it was roughly in line with what he knew.
Once an item reaches Tier 2, its price increases exponentially, which is equivalent to 20,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
However, he could handle it.
He currently possesses over 50,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stone, as well as a large number of finished puppets.
"Can I only use Mid-Grade Spirit Stone to settle the payment?"
"That's right. If you don't have enough, you can exchange them with Low-Grade Spirit Stone at a ratio of one to one hundred and thirty."
Qin Fei opened his mouth wide, feigning surprise, and said:
"I can't make that decision myself; I'll have to ask the Ancestor."
He took out a communication talisman and began to communicate.
The overweight man muttered "country bumpkin" to himself, his expression quite disdainful.
After a short while, Qin Fei finally nodded.
"Since the patriarch has agreed, let's do as the senior says."
An exchange rate of 1 to 130 is considered the market rate in Repel the North City.
If he visited more places, he might be able to find a better deal, but Qin Fei didn't want to waste any more time; Foundation Establishment as soon as possible was the right path.
Payment and goods settled.
Holding the Primordial Eight Trigrams Furnace, Qin Fei a surge of heat in his heart.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is one step closer.
