Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

"Where did it come from?"

"Manager Gu, that's a rather unprofessional question."

"The rule at the treasure exchange event is that we don't care about the origin of the item, only its value."

That is indeed the rule within the city.

Even if the city lord unites with several Nascent Soul cultivators within the city to rule over the city.

They will absolutely not break the rules.

Last time, a Mahayana cultivator named Qingyi came from the outer sect.

This person is the old demon of the demonic path.

You have to save face no matter where you are.

They insist on finding out the origin of an antique just for its sake.

Even with the city lord personally intervening, he still refused to break the rules.

However, Gu Sanchou knew exactly what Cheng Mo was capable of.

My family doesn't like me, and I don't have any spare money. I could never come up with something like this, even if you beat me to death.

It's most likely the same person from last time.

The other party doesn't take the initiative to come.

There must be some reason why they don't want to act in their own capacity.

But this is a good thing.

If done well, a large amount of spirit stones will be earned.

Who cares where it came from!

"Whether it's inside or outside the city, Steward Gu knows better than I do who's looking for a furnace."

"When a buyer came to us, Manager Gu acted as the middleman, and the commission was paid according to the old rules."

This was something Su Chen had instructed me to do.

We must make sure that Manager Gu makes a fortune.

He will only be willing to help wholeheartedly if he is fed.

Su Chen had figured things out when he was surrounded by Duobao.

If this person doesn't keep their mouth shut, this kind of thing will most likely happen again.

Gu Sanchou rubbed his fingers on the abacus beads a few times.

Gu Sanchou actually knows a few people who are looking for stoves recently.

One of them was a steward from the Bone Peak of the Haori Sect. He came to Juque City three times, asking each time if there was a pill furnace forged from fallen stars.

They're quite generous.

"become."

Gu Sanchou pushed the abacus aside.

"A 30% cut."

"One-tenth."

"25%."

"One and a half percent, Manager Gu, this is a deal that can be done with just words."

Gu Sanchou glared at Cheng Mo and finally snorted.

"Are you kidding me? This thing can be used at any time."

"If there's no sincerity, then forget it!"

"At least 20%."

Cheng Mo finally showed some backbone.

If it weren't for Su Chen, I really wouldn't be so assertive here.

...

The fallen leaves piled up on the bone peak.

The old man from Tiandu frowned.

It allows you to mobilize all the spiritual energy within your body.

He tried all sorts of supernatural powers.

It still couldn't help the pill take shape.

There were a few knocks on the door.

"Come in."

The one who entered was Feng Jiu, the most capable steward under the Heavenly Capital Elder.

Disciples within the sect often gossip behind each other's backs, hurling extremely offensive insults.

Feng Jiu is the old man Tiandu's dog!

These words were particularly harsh.

Anyone else would have already exhausted their cultivation to fight.

But Feng Jiu remained calm and composed.

Su Chen had also heard about this matter.

In Su Chen's opinion, this guy is ruthless and cunning, and has the potential to achieve great things.

If Wang Mang had possessed this kind of awareness back in the Xuanhuang Continent...

"Elder, there's news from Juque City."

The old man from Tiandu raised his eyelids.

"explain."

"Gu Sanchou of the Loose Cultivator Alliance has spread rumors that he has a Starfall Ancient Furnace that he intends to make a move."

"It is said that the furnace walls are inlaid with meteorite iron, which can lock in the Samadhi True Fire."

"Go through the shadows, don't ask where they came from."

The old man in Tiandu stopped holding the rosary beads.

The ancient furnace where stars fell.

It can lock away the true fire of Samadhi.

The thing that the old man from Tiandu had been searching for for so many years just appeared out of nowhere.

For a moment, the old man from Tiandu almost wanted to stand up and laugh out loud three times.

But as soon as this thought popped into my head, it was suppressed by another thought.

What a coincidence!

The great war between good and evil is imminent. All the treasures in the spirit realm are being tightly guarded by the major sects, and everyone is hoarding things.

Which rogue cultivator is so bold as to sell a Starfall Furnace at this time?

They only went through the secret tent.

The old man from Tiandu has lived for so many years because of this kind of suspicion.

At this age, fools won't live long enough.

"Has the origin of this item been checked?"

"I checked."

Feng Jiu lowered his head.

"Gu Sanchou kept his mouth shut, only saying that the stove was resold through someone else."

"I went to inquire about the person who asked him for help..."

"He's a young man from a collateral branch of the Cheng family, named Cheng Mo. He doesn't have much of a background, and his family doesn't really care about him."

The old man from Tiandu sneered.

How could a nobody from a collateral branch of the family possess the Starfall Ancient Furnace?

There must be someone else behind this.

who can that be?

The first thing that came to mind for the old man from Tiandu was that smiling face.

Su Chen.

That little devil just visited Juque City and caused quite a stir at the treasure exchange event; the news has already spread throughout the sect.

The old man in Tiandu is not deaf.

Just at this moment, a meteorite furnace appeared in Juque City.

Su Chen, that kid, that was a pretty clever move.

How can someone so young have such cunning?

Su Chen probably figured out that he knew it was him behind it all.

Knowing that he couldn't accept the stove because of his pride, he also knew he couldn't accept it.

So changing my identity is a way of giving myself a way out.

However, there is still one problem.

How did Su Chen know he was short of a furnace?

unless...

Zhou Ding hasn't been to the weapon-refining room for quite some time.

It seems this kid needs some serious discipline.

If the Fire Nourishing Pill is successfully refined, the Heavenly Capital Elder's Body Integration Technique can take another big step forward, and there is hope that he can achieve mastery of the technique within a few hundred years.

Whether or not one can reach the threshold of Mahayana Buddhism in the future depends entirely on this batch of elixir.

So much material has already been burned.

If we delay any longer, even the remaining portion of the medicine will lose its potency.

The old man from Tiandu suddenly remembered a casual remark that had been circulating in the clan a few days ago.

It was the reply Yunmeng Shangren gave when the Holy Maiden asked him to accompany her to negotiate.

The saintess's dignity is important, but breaking through to a higher realm is even more important.

When Tiandu Laoren heard this, he secretly laughed at Yunmeng, thinking that the old fellow was good at saying nice things.

Now that it had fallen on his own head, the old man Tiandu reversed the meaning of the sentence and silently recited it in his heart.

Maintaining dignity is a minor matter; breaking through barriers is the priority.

Even if we get tricked by that little devil, as long as we get the furnace and refine the pills, we can still consider it a win.

"Go and make contact."

The old man from Tiandu opened his eyes.

Feng Jiu responded and was about to leave when he was called back.

"Remember, spirit stones can be sold."

"The prescription was only a fragment."

"Don't mention a single one of Curry's top-tier spiritual materials."

The old man from Tiandu added coldly.

"If they keep denying it, come back and report to me."

The old man of the heavens must first understand what the other party wants.

If the other party is eyeing the pill formula...

That's most likely Su Chen.

Feng Jiu left.

The old man from Tiandu looked down at the cracked bronze furnace for a long time, and finally waved his hand, putting it into the bottom of his storage bag.

Out of sight, out of mind.

The window in the side room was slightly ajar.

A mountain breeze blew in gusts, making the stack of account books on the table rustle loudly.

Su Chen used a paperweight to hold it down, but the wind still managed to sneak in from the corner and lift the top page.

I don't know who left the window open.

Su Chen was too lazy to get up and turn it off.

"Is the true master sitting here doing accounting?"

A voice came from the doorway.

Lin Zhiya stood by the threshold, holding a tea canister in her hands.

After breaking through to the next realm, Lin Zhiya's entire demeanor changed. She still retained that cold arrogance, but her brows softened considerably.

She wore a light blue Taoist robe, the fabric was light and clung to her body, clearly outlining her waist.

Su Chen glanced at it again.

This garment seems to be the one that was put back in the trunk last time.

"Why is the Holy Maiden here?"

"On the way."

Lin Zhiya walked in and placed the tea canister on the table.

...
