The Legend of the Immortal Cauldron

After coming out from the old woman, Matthew went straight to the alchemy room.

After closing the door and opening the psychedelic array, Matthew took out the yellow smoke furnace after sorting out the spiritual medicine.

He did not start to refine the agarwood pills immediately, but planned to try to refine a furnace of green pills first.

After all, this thing is the key to improving cultivation.

As for the agarwood pills, the old woman did not say when she wanted them, so he could delay it for a while.

Matthew had memorized the steps of refining the green pills.

Everything went smoothly. When the yellow smoke slowly floated out, Matthew's hand gesture changed.

The fire of the earth lungs instantly wrapped the entire furnace.

After waiting for about five breaths, the flames dissipated and a strong medicinal fragrance floated out.

Unable to wait to open the furnace cover, Matthew saw five pills lying in the furnace.

Taking one out and putting it in front of him for inspection, Matthew secretly said it was a pity.

He was a little disappointed that he could only refine a furnace of inferior pills with such good spiritual medicine.

After throwing five Biying pills into the purple cauldron for purification, Matthew took out a booklet and wrote down all the steps of his alchemy.

Unknowingly, Matthew had been in this village for more than a year.

Matthew had been very honest since he came in. Except for occasionally going out to buy some spiritual medicine in the village, he almost never left the alchemy room.

This made those who were hiding in the dark and monitoring him gradually relax their vigilance.

After having a large number of high-year spiritual medicines, Matthew's alchemy skills became more and more sophisticated.

In this year or so, he refined pills for almost every cultivator in the village.

Moreover, Matthew did not have too harsh requirements for the remuneration when refining pills for them.

Often they would casually mention the name of a spiritual medicine and roughly say the year.

After these times of contact, everyone had some goodwill towards Matthew.

Especially Bao Ya, after Matthew refined several pills for her, she became more and more enthusiastic about him.

After taking a large number of Biying Pills, her cultivation has reached the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and she is only one step away from the thirteenth level.

In addition, in the past year or so, he has also collected some very old spiritual woods to make spiritual armor.

On this day, he had just finished refining a furnace of pills.

As soon as Matthew went out, he saw Bao Ya riding a yellow shadow leopard.

After handing the pills to the person waiting at the door, Matthew smiled and said, "Miss Bao, are you here to refine another pill today?"

"Did you refine a furnace of high-quality agarwood pills for Grandma Jinhua?" Bao Ya asked with a frown.

"Yes, did she give you the pills?" Matthew nodded and admitted.

"No, she took it herself and became a dozen years younger than before." Bao Ya pouted and said.

Similarly, Matthew opened his mouth wide.

He had always thought that the old woman was going to refine the top-grade agarwood pills for Bao Ya, and he had been troubled for a long time because of this matter, and had been planning how to use Bao Ya to get the fragment.

But he didn't expect that the old woman actually refined the pill for herself.

"I finally gathered the same materials as Grandma Jinhua, and I want to ask you to refine one for me." Seeing Matthew's surprised look, Bao Ya chuckled and said.

"Top-grade agarwood pills are not something you can refine just by saying it. Last time, Grandma Jinhua gave me three materials, and I only refined one." Matthew shook his head and said.

In fact, he didn't tell Bao Ya the truth.

Although he failed to refine the top-grade agarwood pills last time, he refined a medium-grade agarwood pill in the second furnace, and took it to the task after purifying it with the purple tripod.

After hearing Matthew's words, the smile on Bao Ya's face disappeared.

"It doesn't matter, just refine it. Even if you can't refine the top grade, I can accept the middle grade." Bao Ya thought for a while and said.

Seeing this, Matthew couldn't say anything more.

"What kind of spiritual medicine do you want as a reward this time."

Every time someone asked Matthew to make an elixir, he would make some requests, and every time the request was spiritual medicine, which has become a rule known to everyone in the village.

"This time, I don't want spiritual medicine, I want something else." Matthew said after a silence.

"What is it?" Bao Ya asked curiously.

"Last time when I went to the treasury, I saw a piece of purple fragment and was a little curious about it. If you can get that thing, I am willing to do my best to refine a furnace for you." Matthew knew that it was time to tell his purpose. If he didn't say it, he didn't know when he would wait.

"Fragment?" Seeing Matthew's strange request this time, Bao Ya also frowned.

She had no impression of the fragment Matthew mentioned.

"It's on the shelf where we took the elixir furnace." Seeing Bao Ya's puzzled look, Matthew had to remind her.

"Oh, I remember now. Why do you want that thing? It has been in the treasure house for a long time, and no one knows what it is used for." After being reminded by Matthew, Bao Ya suddenly realized.

"The skills I practiced before were obtained from fragments like this. Now there is no follow-up skills. I want to see if the fragment is what I need." Matthew said the reason he had thought of long ago.

"It's useless to leave it there. It shouldn't be difficult to take it out. I'll go ask first." Bao Ya said after thinking for a while.

After that, she drove the yellow shadow leopard away.

After Bao Ya left, Matthew's face changed slightly, and he immediately entered the alchemy room.

He patted the spirit beast bag on his waist, and a black bug flew out of it.

This was just the bug that came here with him before. It was only the size of a fingernail at first, but in the past year or so, it has grown to the size of a fist after being fed by Matthew with spirit-feeding pills.

What gave Matthew a headache was that the bug became more and more irritable after growing up, and kept trying to get out of the spirit beast bag.

Moreover, its appetite was getting bigger and bigger. In the past, it only needed to feed a few spirit-feeding pills a few days.

Now, it has to feed more than a dozen a day, and sometimes it is not enough.

After the bug came out, it flew around Matthew for a while, and finally landed on the pile of unprocessed medicine residue on the ground.

In just a few breaths, the medicine residue on the ground had been eaten up by the bug.

The bug was still a little unsatisfied, and it held a piece of spirit wood and gnawed for a while, and then fell asleep leisurely.

"What is the origin of this bug, and why is it so greedy." Matthew rubbed his eyebrows in distress and said to himself.

In order to know the origin of this insect, Matthew has searched through all the books related to demon insects, but he has not found any useful information.

"Wu Kun, do you know the origin of this insect?" After connecting with Wu Kun, Matthew asked.

Before today, he had deliberately concealed the existence of the insect from Wu Kun, and the other party never knew that there was such a bug on Matthew.
