Douluo Continent: Becoming the God of Nature Starting from Farming

Xiao Ze arrived at the Liuli Merchant Guild alone.

"Oh, young master!" Manager Li immediately came to Xiao Ze's side.

"Manager Li, I'd like to buy something."

"Please speak, young master."

"I want the alchemy furnace."

"Alchemy furnace?" Manager Li was taken aback.

"No?"

"Yes! I'll take the young master there."

Manager Li led Xiao Ze to the second floor. "Young Master, because there are very few Soul Masters who can refine pills, and because pills are not very useful, even our Liuli Chamber of Commerce doesn't have many pill furnaces."

"Let me introduce this to you, young master. This is an iron-fire alchemy furnace. It is made of ordinary refined iron. This is the most common type of alchemy furnace. It is relatively difficult to control the heat, but it is suitable for beginners."

The alchemy furnace in front of me is simple and unadorned, without excessive decoration or patterns.

It looks very ordinary.

"This won't do," the God of Agriculture said, shaking his head.

“Although you are a beginner, Ozawa, the alchemy furnace is very important for an alchemist. Once you get used to the feel of an alchemy furnace and the control of the flame, changing to another one will feel very different, so it’s best to get the right one from the start.”

Xiao Ze could understand what the God of Agriculture was saying.

It's really just about having the right tools.

Xiao Ze shook his head.

Manager Li immediately led Xiao Ze to another alchemy furnace.

"Young master, this alchemy furnace is called the Jade Tea Alchemy Furnace."

Chapter 71 The Qiankun Furnace a Century Ago

"The Jade Tea Alchemy Furnace is made of precious materials, such as black iron and other metals, or gemstones and jade with special properties."

The jade tea in front of me is made from fire-attribute gemstones; it only requires the infusion of soul power to produce flames. It allows for extremely precise control of the flames, enabling a variety of complex temperature variations.

Xiao Ze thought the alchemy furnace was quite good, but the God of Agriculture poured water down again.

"Don't even think about it. This alchemy furnace is good, but it's only good for show. Alchemists must control the heat themselves; relying on external tools won't last long."

Besides, you have Crimson Serpent and Red Flame, so you don't need to worry about the flames at all.

Xiao Ze thought the God of Agriculture made sense.

"No, let's try another one."

When Manager Li saw the young master's high-quality alchemy furnace, he broke out in a sweat. He had finally gotten a promotion, and if he displeased the young master this time, he would be finished.

No!

No one can stop my path to progress.

"Come here, young master, this alchemy furnace is the best alchemy furnace in our Liuli Merchant Guild."

It is made of metals such as refined steel and mithril, which have better thermal conductivity and stability, and can withstand the high temperatures and soul power infusion during the alchemy process.

Furthermore, special gemstones have been incorporated into the alchemy furnace, enhancing its ability to absorb soul power. This can help you refine elixirs more effectively.

"This alchemy furnace is also equipped with a unique temperature control device, which allows for more precise control of temperature and heat during the alchemy process, making it even more effective than the Jade Tea Alchemy Furnace we just saw."

The interior space of the alchemy furnace was also carefully designed, making the actual interior space much larger than it appears from the outside.

This allows the alchemy furnace to hold more alchemical materials.

Actually, you don't need to listen to what Xiao Ze said after that; the timing and method of cooking alone are not good enough.

Xiao Ze was speechless. Were all the people in Douluo Continent this lazy when it came to alchemy? They relied entirely on advanced technology and didn't even think about improving themselves.

"Anything else?"

Manager Li was now in a bit of a predicament: "Young Master, this is the best alchemy furnace we have here. There are very few people who need alchemy furnaces. We only had it made to make a name for ourselves."

"Never mind then, I'll go look somewhere else."

Manager Li was furious. "Young Master is the son-in-law of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, how can he go to other shops?"

Isn't this a slap in his face?

He was grinding his back teeth so hard they were about to break when he suddenly thought of a place.

"Young master, I know a place where you might find the alchemy furnace you need."

"Oh?"

……

The southwest corner of Tiandou City.

Xiao Ze saw that the rusty iron gate in front of him was crooked, and the five characters 'Nameless Blacksmith Shop' above his head were already twisted and deformed.

He was completely baffled. Did Manager Li not want a promotion? Why had he recommended such a place to him?

However, Xiao Ze did not show any disdain and instead pushed open the door to enter.

A smell mixed with rust and coke wafted over.

Xiao Ze frowned; this place was indeed very dilapidated.

The ground was covered in dust, several roof tiles were missing, and sunlight slanted in through the gaps.

The anvil not far away was covered with dense marks, and the hammer was casually placed to the side.

"who is it?"

An elderly man with white hair slowly walked out from inside.

"Hello, I am Xiao Ze, I..."

Before Xiao Ze could finish speaking, the old man walked over carrying a hammer.

"Get out of here right now, I'm not doing blacksmithing anymore."

"Old man, I need your alchemy furnace."

Upon hearing the word "alchemy furnace," the old man's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he threw the iron hammer to the ground.

"How did you know I have an alchemy furnace here?"

"Manager Li of the Liuli Chamber of Commerce."

"So it's that kid. Since you were sent by him, I'll give you a chance. That kid helped me before, and I said I'd repay him for it."

It seems he has repaid you for your kindness.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ze was somewhat surprised. This Manager Li really knows how to handle things. It would be a shame not to promote you.

"I only have one alchemy furnace here, which my ancestor obtained a hundred years ago. My ancestor called it the Qiankun Furnace."

I don't know how the Qiankun Furnace came to be; the ancestor never said, but it definitely doesn't seem to have been forged. Its entire body appears as if it were cast from heaven.

"My ancestor spent his whole life trying to create an identical alchemy furnace, but unfortunately he failed. After that, our family stopped trying to refine it and locked it away." The old man couldn't help but sigh as he spoke of the furnace.

Xiao Ze asked curiously, "Is the Haotian Sect suitable?"

The old man sneered: "The Haotian Sect doesn't know anything about forging. They just rely on the advantage of their martial spirits, that's all."

Xiao Ze gasped. Was this old man really that powerful? He didn't even take the Haotian Sect seriously.

It seems to be some reclusive master.

Xiao Ze believes there are reclusive masters in the Douluo Continent.

"Then what about here...?"

"How could it be so dilapidated?"

"Yes." Xiao Ze said somewhat awkwardly.

"There's nothing wrong with saying it, because I can't forge anything right now."

"What?!" Xiao Ze exclaimed in surprise.

"Ten years ago, when I was acquiring my seventh spirit ring, I was unlucky and encountered a 100,000-year-old spirit beast. It was very fast, and I was seriously injured before I could escape."

But after that, my martial spirit shattered, completely shattered, and my hands were no longer what they used to be. Now, besides the physique of a soul master, I have nothing else.”

"I see." Xiao Ze felt a little regretful, as this master's forging skills were absolutely top-notch.

Xiao Ze had just seen a number of weapons on the wall, all of which were very exquisite and seemed to have been forged in one go.

Someone without a certain level of skill simply couldn't do it.

“Xiao Ze, actually his martial spirit is not completely shattered,” the God of Agriculture suddenly said.

"Really?" Xiao Ze was somewhat surprised. After all, martial spirit is the most important thing for a soul master, so how could he not sense it?

"Yes, his martial soul is a hammer. I can sense its presence, but it's sealed by a special power, so he can't feel it. In addition, his dantian is malfunctioning, and his soul power is constantly draining away, which is why he thinks his martial soul is gone."

Xiao Ze suddenly realized, "Good heavens, what was that 100,000-year-old soul beast back then? It could actually seal a martial soul, and it's been sealed for so many years."

"Old man, if I can restore your martial spirit, can you give me the alchemy furnace?"

The old man was taken aback, then laughed and said, "What are you talking about? My martial spirit is gone, how can I be resurrected?"

"But the Martial Soul is the most important thing for us Soul Masters. If you really lose your Martial Soul, can you still live?"

Upon hearing this, the old man fell silent. He had thought about this as well, but he really couldn't sense the presence of his martial spirit anymore.

"What did the 100,000-year-old soul beast you encountered back then look like?"

"I don't know exactly what kind of soul beast it is, but it's a seven-colored bird with a very smooth surface, like a mirror. I can even see my own face on it."

Chapter 72 Unlucky Old Wang

“Rainbow Bird!” Xiao Ze blurted out.

"What kind of spirit beast is this?" the old man asked.
