They were all defective products with chips and broken ends, so bad that even beggars wouldn't bother with them.
But to his surprise, the young master in front of him was so resolute, completely unaffected by his experienced attempts to persuade him.
"Young master, I'm just doing business... please don't make things difficult for me. One hundred, consider it my bad luck, okay?"
However, Su Feng maintained an elegant smile, "I don't want to waste any more words here. Thirty silver dollars, you can still make a profit. If you're willing to make a deal, I'll pay; if not, then forget it."
Although he was genuinely interested in the alchemy furnace, Su Feng didn't think he would be foolish enough to be taken advantage of like that.
There's nothing useless in this world, and 06 won't die if one is missing.
Seeing the stall owner's troubled expression and silence, Su Feng lost his patience and turned to leave.
But as soon as he turned around, the stall owner backed down.
"Alright, alright! Thirty it is! I'll wrap it up for you right now, young master." The stall owner turned around helplessly, bent down and wrapped up the stove on the ground, muttering to himself, "What a terrible stroke of bad luck."
He's gotten himself into this mess, and so many people saw it. How is he supposed to do business now?
It can only be said that stealing the chicken does not end up losing the rice.
After taking the stove, Su Feng didn't waste any words, readily took out thirty silver dollars, and left.
Although the process was somewhat bumpy, the result was good.
Thirty silver dollars for such a treasure, it's definitely worth it.
Right now, all he wants is to get back to his residence as soon as possible and then figure out the function of this magical furnace.
……
Before nightfall, Su Feng returned to the Su residence.
Uncle Fu and the Chenyue and Chenxing sisters were setting out dishes in the dining room when they saw Su Feng return, carrying a strange, old, broken stove in his arms. Without saying a word, he walked into the room.
"Young Master, aren't you going to eat?" Chen Yue called out in the direction Su Feng had left.
"You eat first!"
Su Feng's voice disappeared at the end of the corridor.
squeak-
Su Feng quickly closed the door and eagerly disassembled the wooden rack containing the stove, then placed it on the coffee table.
To be honest, the stove was quite heavy, and he was a little worried that the coffee table might not be able to withstand it.
"It's so beautiful—"
Su Feng once again examined the engravings on the furnace body up close and was still full of praise.
Now that there are no people around to disturb him, he can quietly observe and examine the scene.
"The stove surface looks a bit scratched, but it doesn't matter..."
“The bottom is very finely crafted, and it doesn’t seem to be the work of a modern craftsman…” Su Feng looked around and rubbed his chin as he pondered, “It is very similar to the description of the inner alchemy furnace in that ancient book.”
Upon further examination of the furnace, traces of alchemy were found on its walls.
At the bottom center of the base, there are clearly visible deposits that have accumulated over the years, and they can't be removed no matter how hard you try...
"Could it really be an ancient alchemy furnace?"
According to some ancient books, in the early years, some extraordinary people used alchemy furnaces to refine elixirs and miraculous medicines, such as the Longevity Pill and the Ice Soul Pill, which were all made by some Qi cultivators.
The quality of the alchemy furnace is the key to determining the quality of the elixir.
Su Feng couldn't know for sure whether the current alchemy furnace possessed such quality based solely on his own judgment.
'Tianyan, can this item be used to complete the task?'
【Drip】
[2333 vulnerabilities detected in the current object. Should we perform simulation and patching?]
"As expected, this is indeed a good thing."
Su Feng felt a surge of warmth in his heart; the thirty silver dollars were well spent! In fact, it was a profit!
Now, he has roughly determined that this thing is an alchemy furnace. He just needs to fix its defects, and he might be able to obtain a magic weapon that is no less powerful than the Qiankun Bag!
Moreover, the completed shape might be several sizes larger than it is now, so we need to clear out a larger space in the room while we have the chance.
'Complete!'
Su Feng issued the order without hesitation.
[Didi, time completed by 37 hour]
"I can wait three days!"
As Tianyan's notification sound faded, the surface of the alchemy furnace trembled slightly.
The surface engravings also shimmer with a faint purple light.
It's so hot to the touch.
"Hahaha! Interesting, very interesting!"
Su Feng was overjoyed and patted the furnace lightly. "Maybe I can become an alchemist someday and make myself a few potent tonics to try."
Finally, Su Feng became even more interested and gave the alchemy furnace a resounding name.
The Supreme Cauldron, where all things return to one!
[Didi, name change successful!]
……
"Young Master, I was just about to call you."
Su Feng arrived at the dining room and saw Chen Yue walking towards him.
"The food will get cold if we wait any longer," Chen Yue reminded him carefully, and only sat down slowly after Su Feng took his seat.
"What makes you so happy, young master?"
Seeing Su Feng's excited expression, Uncle Fu asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's nothing." Su Feng ate heartily, his smile barely concealed. "It's just a business deal with Master Ren. Everyone, let's start eating."
He would never say that he was happy because he had found a great treasure that afternoon, which he believed would one day allow him to become an alchemist and refine miraculous elixirs!
As the saying goes, when people are happy, they are in high spirits and have a good appetite.
Bitter melon, which I don't usually like to eat, tastes sweet at this moment.
"Master."
At this moment, a servant walked in from outside the courtyard, holding a visiting card in his hand. "Someone outside requests an audience with the young master."
He claimed to be Qian Zhenren, a disciple of Maoshan.
Qian Kai? What's he doing here?
Su Feng frowned slightly and waved his hand to let the servants put down the visiting cards. "It's still mealtime. Take them to the backyard to wait. I'll go over after I finish eating."
"Yes, Master."
The maid nodded and slowly withdrew.
"And who is this Mr. Qian? Is he an old friend of the young master?" Uncle Fu asked in confusion.
He had watched Su Feng grow up since he was a child, and had never heard of anyone with that surname in his life.
Moreover, upon hearing that it came from Maoshan, he couldn't help but feel more worried.
"It's alright, don't worry, let's eat first."
Su Feng smiled and brushed it off.
To be honest, he himself was completely baffled.
As luck would have it, I ran into Zhang Dadan at noon, and now Qian Kai is asking to see me again.
Moreover, Qian Kai is no good person; he is treacherous, cunning, and extremely greedy.
In the Ghost Fight storyline, he takes on Boss Tan's "business" for money and repeatedly launches a deadly pursuit of Zhang Dadan.
Su Feng was just thinking of not getting involved in the trouble between these people, but unexpectedly, trouble came knocking on his door.
Really distressed.
……
Dinner was finished hastily, but my good mood was mostly ruined.
Su Feng arrived at the backyard and indeed saw two men in Taoist robes admiring flowers and watching fish by the artificial hill and pond.
Hearing footsteps, the two turned around.
"Oh my, so this must be Young Master Su Feng. Seeing is believing, and he is indeed handsome." Qian Kai spoke with the seasoned air of a seasoned江湖 (jianghu, a term referring to the world of martial arts and chivalry).
The two small mustaches hanging from the corners of his mouth swayed up and down, making him look extremely sleazy.
The visitor appeared to be hostile, so Su Feng naturally didn't put on a friendly face either. He narrowed his eyes and said softly, "I heard from the servants at home that Master Qian is a disciple of Maoshan? May I ask what brings you here?"
During the conversation, Su Feng sensed the powerful and imposing aura emanating from the two people in front of him!
He was very different from the feng shui masters I had met before!
One specializes in refining techniques, while the other focuses on refining qi.
The man before him, Qian Kai, was just like the latter. His aura was powerful and vigorous, and every move he made exuded waves of energy, which surprised Su Feng.
Based on this, Qian Kai's cultivation level should be the same as his, at the ninth level of Qi Transformation!
As for the people beside Qian Kai, they were slightly inferior, but not to be underestimated.
"Haha, Young Master Su, there's no need to be so reserved. My disciple Sanyang and I came here simply because we've long admired your name and wanted to see you in person."
Su Feng found Qian Kai's forced smile distasteful, as did his disciple San Yang beside him.
He had shifty eyes and looked like a petty thief.
"Master Qian, you flatter me... Please come in and speak."
Su Feng didn't know why the two had come, but no one visits a temple without a reason, and judging from Qian Kai's past "behavior," this was definitely not a good thing.
