Tan Siqin said calmly, "I didn't expect Brother Wangshan to be so sensitive about wealth. I suppose the amount of elixirs Zhang Ye can provide isn't enough for your appetite either. Let's just say it straight, what is your purpose?"

  "The formula." Wang Shan was straightforward, "Although this requirement seems a bit unreasonable, we are willing to exchange it at a great cost."

  Tan Siqin said coldly, "This request is quite unreasonable. In fact, Zhang Ye has many interpersonal encounters and outstanding talents, these are his unique insights, we elders really can't bear to ask him for them. If it were you, would you give?"

  "No." Wang Shan took a sip of tea and smiled.

  Tan Siqin nodded: "It's indeed easy to talk to someone who understands, Brother Wangshan gets it."

  Wang Shan continued: "I suppose if I can't get it, then no one else can either?"

  Tan Siqin understood his meaning and nodded: "This is natural."

  Wang Shan said again: "If I propose 'exclusive agency' for the sale of this elixir, don't you think that's an excessive demand?"

  Tan Siqin furrowed her brow and said in an instant, "The request is not excessive, but Zhang Ye's current ability is limited, his energy is limited, and the elixirs he can refine on his own are also limited. Your appetite is so big, can such a small amount satisfy you?"

  Wang Shan laughed and said, "Elder Tan is worrying too much. Just because the quantity is small now doesn't mean it will be small in the future. I do business for the long term, and being able to establish a good relationship with you won't harm me at all. As long as Elder Tan promises, we can establish this good relationship."

  Tan Siqin thought for a moment, and then said with a tone that would shock people to death: "Your esteemed hall deals in medicinal materials, so I'm sure you have an abundance of alchemy treasures. I heard that Zhang Ye, that young whippersnapper, is currently lacking a top-grade dan furnace."

  Suddenly

  Wang Shan gritted his teeth and tossed a small tripod to Tan Siqin, saying: "This is a fifth-grade dan furnace, the Five Spirits Divine Tripod. When used to refine fourth-grade dan medicine, the success rate and efficiency are very high. Inside, I have designed our Huichun Gate's unique fire array. This treasure still belongs to our Huichun Gate, but I grant Zhang Ye the right to use it. What do you think?"

  Tan Siqin nodded slightly, which was a kind of promise.

  Zhang Ye returned from the medicine field on a snowy night, sat in the small courtyard, drank wine, watched the snow, and thought nostalgically.

  "Master sister, what's wrong with you?" Recently, Zhang Ye has been muttering this sentence every day.

  Every time he asked this, the golden bud in the seven-treasure gourd would also sway its waist, looking heartbroken, and the bitter aura it emitted grew thicker.

  Jin Ya was heartbroken. Xiao Bao, on the other hand, was very comfortable. Last time, he had swallowed Shi Tianyun's fourth-grade flying sword. Afterwards, Zhang Ye really pitied the fourth-grade sword and forced Xiao Bao to spit it out.

  After being swallowed by Xiao Bao, Shi Tianyun's spiritual imprint was erased. Zhang Ye recovered the four-product "Wind Spirit Sword". But the cost is that all three-product treasures were eaten clean by Xiao Bao, including the shattered Huo Fire Sword, as well as the Water Spirit Sword that had made a meritorious achievement, and all the treasures seized from the thin bamboo pole.

  Xiao Bao has really grown up a lot and is now taller than Zhang Ye, with an air of a greedy and sleepy big dog.

  Zi Yi said that Xiao Bao has advanced, and now he can swallow fourth-grade treasure without any worries. As a result, his digestion of third-grade treasures will be super fast.

  However, growth has slowed down. At first, after eating a few third-grade elixirs, Xiaobao grew up a lot. But now, after finishing the remaining third-grade elixirs, he only became slightly more radiant and his fur grew a bit longer. It seems that to grow faster, he must eat fourth-grade elixirs now.

  The snowflakes suddenly fell even bigger.

  Su Qing walked out of the house and put a cloak on Zhang Ye: "Young master, it's snowing heavily, let's go inside."

  Zhang Ye raised the bottle and took a sip of wine, shaking his head slightly.

  A flash of blue light, and Tan Siqin seemed to appear out of thin air in the courtyard, staring coldly at Zhang Ye and Su Qing. After a long time, she finally said: "You're really good at enjoying life, you have a concubine now, your life is better, but your fighting spirit has dissipated?"

  Su Qing is a clever guy, how dare he talk back to Tan Siqin, scared to kneel down, not daring to say a word.

  Tan Siqin looked at Su Qing like this, and her expression slightly relaxed. She waved her hand and said: "You go in and talk to him."

  "Yes." Su Qing ran into the house and hid.

  Settling down, Tan Siqin gazed at Zhang Ye and asked: "Is your fighting spirit still there?"

  "Unprecedented intensity! I won't give up until I see Master Sister!" Zhang Ye clenched his fists and said.

  Tan Siqin's expression softened slightly, but she furrowed her brow and said, "Didn't I say not to mention this?"

  Zhang Ye bowed his head and said: "I will remember Master Shu's instructions."

  Tan Siqin resumed her cold demeanor, stretching out a hand. "Bring the Shenmu Wangding here, that's not yours. Many people are watching this matter, it's a treasure of the East Sea. If an inner sect disciple dies, they die, but treasures can't go unaccounted for."

  Zhang Ye knew that if Tan Siqin wanted to take it, he wouldn't be able to say no. She didn't do it herself, but asked for it, which was already giving him face. So Zhang Ye was also straightforward and directly threw a Shenmu Wangding into Tan Siqin's hands.

  "You're quite straightforward." Tan Siqin had a hint of a smile, "I'm a fair person, I won't let you lose out. This is the Wuling Sacred Cauldron, I borrowed it especially for you. You have usage rights, but not ownership rights. Saying that, it's essentially yours now."

  After throwing down a small, colorful glazed tripod, Tan Siqin put away the Shenmu Wangding and disappeared. A voice floated in from the void, "One must have a conscience when being human. I don't care about anything else, but you must hand over all of the Linghuang Dan refined with this tripod to me, and we can discuss rewards based on merit. This seat will absolutely not be stingy."

  Fall down

  Zhang Ye almost fainted and fell to the ground.

  Tan Siqin's master uncle is indeed not covering up, confiscated the four-product dan furnace and gave a better one.

  Zhang Ye now had a deeper understanding. In terms of material and spirituality, this Five Spirits Cauldron far surpassed the Divine Wooden King Cauldron.

  Wǔ Pǐn Dān Lú!

  English Translation: Five-Piece Dan Furnace!

  Hulu

  In the Seven Treasures Gourd, Little Treasure saw a good elixir furnace fly in. He circled around it several times, stuck out his tongue and licked it.

  It's clear that Xiaobao wants to eat it, but is also afraid of this tripod, after all, it's a fifth-grade treasure.

  Zhang Ye also came in and observed for a long time, there was no spiritual imprint on top, it should have been washed away by Tang Siqin Shu. However, now Zhang Ye is not in a hurry to let the treasure recognize its master.

  The Five-Treasured Cannon of Law, theoretically requires at least a first-level Split Soul stage cultivator to control it.

  Even a mild Dan furnace requires at least six layers of foundation, and below that, the risk of losing control begins to increase. Zhang Ye is currently only at the third layer of foundation, with strength equivalent to an ordinary fourth-layer foundation.

  That is to say, Zhang Ye must break through the fourth level before he can reduce the risk of driving.

  Must break through!

  This is Zhang Ye's most pressing concern at the moment.

  Whether it's driving the Five Elements Furnace, investigating the Master Sister incident, or driving the Divine Ability "Ten Steps One Kill", all current bottlenecks are for cultivation.

  At the beginning of spring, there is a trial sword conference. After becoming a true disciple, you can access more things, establish your own class, and cultivate more techniques. To investigate Master Sister's affairs, one must become a true disciple, no room for error...
