Immortality begins with inheriting the myriad arts of cultivation.

A good name is hard to imagine the world you can create, but it's all in "Eternal Life Begins with Inheriting the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation".

Li Ping pushed open the door and walked out of the training room.

Meng Wanjun, who was waiting outside, quickly recounted the events in detail.

Li Ping listened and nodded, then asked with some surprise, "You mean Chu Xiu found a secondhand item that I listed?"

"Yes, young master," Meng Wanjun said, "it's a broken magical brewing cauldron, which is partially damaged. The person in question is interested in selling it, which is why I've contacted you, young master, as this transaction requires your personal decision."

Upon hearing this, Li Ping was slightly surprised: "A damaged magic weapon? A brewing cauldron?"

Spirit brewing techniques are also one of the many arts of cultivating immortality.

A skilled spirit brewer can use their skills to brew spirit wines with different effects from spirit ingredients, such as healing wounds, restoring magical power, enhancing cultivation, and improving physical strength.

Of course, the effects of spirit wine are not as good as those of elixirs. Usually, a large amount needs to be consumed to achieve the same effect as elixirs.

If we really have to put it in perspective, spirit wine can be considered a diluted form of elixir.

In short, it's a substitute for pills.

However, dilution of medicinal properties also has its advantages. Because the medicinal properties are diluted, the absorption of spirit wine is much easier than that of pills, and it is less likely to leave impurities in the body after being refined and absorbed.

Although the secondhand items he received were not related to pills, artifacts, talismans, or arrays, Li Ping was somewhat disappointed.

But he quickly realized that someone who could afford to invest so much in using a magical brewing cauldron was most likely a Core Formation stage spirit brewer of level three or higher.

The third-tier spirit brewing technique is quite precious. If the required nutrients are not too complicated, he might as well learn it; he might find it useful.

After pondering for a moment, Li Ping spoke softly: "Here's what you'll do. Inform Chu Xiu to bring that person here tomorrow, and I'll meet with him."

"Yes, young master!" Meng Wanjun left with a smile.

The next day, she indeed brought the two of them to the riverside cave.

One of them was Chu Xiu, the part-time leader of the Xianyun Sect, who was wearing a red robe. The other person, according to Chu Xiu's introduction, was a good friend of his from his youth, and also a descendant of a disciple of one of the Three Elders of Lingxiao.

The visitor's surname was Chen, and his strength had reached the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Li Ping could tell that the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Chen wasn't particularly affectionate towards Chu Xiu in his words.

Perhaps the two were friends when they were young, but as they grew up, a huge gap developed between them in terms of both cultivation and status, making it impossible for them to maintain their previous close relationship.

Chao Chuxiu nodded, and Li Ping's gaze fell on the white-robed youth in front of him. He smiled and said, "If it's convenient for you, young friend Chen, why don't you take out that brewing cauldron and let me take a look?"

Although he belonged to the Lingxiao lineage and his ancestor was also a Core Formation Realm cultivator, the white-robed youth surnamed Chen still maintained the proper respect when facing a Core Formation Realm cultivator.

Upon hearing Li Ping's words, he quickly took something out of his storage bag and respectfully placed it on the table.

As he did all this, he slowly explained, "Senior, I found this brewing cauldron by chance years ago. After my ancestor confirmed it, I learned that it was a damaged magic treasure. However, although it is damaged, considering its age, it still has some collectible value..."

Li Ping listened and nodded, but his gaze had already fallen on the small bronze cauldron on the table. The cauldron should have had three legs, but after missing half of it, only two legs remained intact, and the other leg was nowhere to be seen.

In addition, a small part of the upper part of the cauldron is also missing, so it can no longer be used to hold liquids.

With such severe damage and most of the secret runes destroyed, this magical bronze cauldron is essentially ruined and can no longer be refined or used.

Even if a skilled craftsman repairs its damaged parts, it can only be used as a decoration or a container.

While describing his foundation-building skills, Chen kept secretly observing Li Ping's expression.

Seeing that Li Ping's gaze remained cold and unchanged, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

In fact, he knew that the broken magical brewing cauldron in his hand was an unrepairable piece of junk.

He thought he had gotten away with something, but later he realized that it was actually a trap set for him.

After buying it, he was quite pleased with himself, thinking he had excellent judgment. As a result, he ended up with this broken magic weapon stuck in his hands.

Even afterwards, he couldn't find a way to cause trouble for the other party.

The magic weapon was real, and he had already been told about the damage, so he had to suffer in silence.

Many thoughts flashed through his mind, and Chen, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, guessed that he would have to return empty-handed again today.

But the next moment, he saw Li Ping suddenly reach out and pick up the two-legged bronze cauldron on the table, which was about the size of a head.

"Is there still hope?" He couldn't help but wonder.

Li Ping held a two-legged bronze cauldron in his hand, and above the cauldron, a line of text that only he could see slowly appeared.

[A magical brewing cauldron used by a fourth-tier spirit brewer throughout their life, containing 1000 mid-grade spirit stones, three fourth-tier spirit fruits, and one liter of fourth-tier spirit liquid. These can be used as nourishment to master the fourth-tier spirit brewing technique.]

Upon seeing the text clearly, Li Ping was overjoyed.

He initially thought the broken brewing cauldron was used by a third-tier spirit brewer, but he never expected its owner to be a fourth-tier spirit brewer.

Moreover, he had previously worried whether the incomplete second-hand brewing cauldron could be used to pass on the craft. Now he can rest assured that as long as the main body remains intact, it will not affect the replication of the craft tree at all.

Fourth-tier skills are extraordinary; generally, only Nascent Soul cultivators, with their long lifespans, can thoroughly study a fourth-tier skill.

Upon receiving the damaged bronze cauldron and seeing the inscriptions appearing on it, Li Ping made his decision.

He was determined to have this cauldron.

Of course, he doesn't intend to pay too high a price for it.

After all, although this cauldron was extremely important to him, it was just a piece of junk to others, and he didn't need to pay a great price to obtain it.

And if he really does inexplicably offer a high price for a piece of junk.

Such an unusual approach might actually make people suspicious, wondering if there's something special about this piece of junk.

Thinking of this, Li Pingqiang suppressed his excitement and shook his head with a sigh, saying, "What a pity, this magic weapon is now a piece of junk and can never be repaired."

Just as the Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Chen showed disappointment, he suddenly changed the subject: "Although this item has little practical value, it is ancient, and the runes on it are techniques used by ancient cultivators. It's not bad as a collectible. I'll take it. What would you like to exchange for it, young friend Chen?"

"Huh?" The Foundation Establishment cultivator surnamed Chen was taken aback.

He had thought the deal was off after hearing Li Ping's words, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and the other party eventually agreed to buy the item.

The deal was initially agreed upon, but he was now struggling with the question of what price to offer.

If he offers too low a price, he'll lose money. If he offers too high a price, he's worried Li Ping won't take it.
