Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1207: Chapter 799: The Lu Family’s Thank-You Gift, Pill Furnace (Part 3)

This is not a big deal, it can even be said to be nothing at all.

After this catastrophe, the Lu family no longer has anyone to send on an adventure into the Ancient Relic Array.

Whether it’s Lan Peng or Lu Youning, Lu Fusheng now dares not let them take such risks; they are currently among the few remaining pillars of the Lu family, which cannot afford any more losses.

Therefore, even if the Ancient Relic Array is opened by the three Major Sects this time, he would sell all the slots, giving one to Yang Zhenshan is naturally no big deal.

Subsequently, after a brief chat, Yang Zhenshan bade farewell and returned to the Lan family.

However, upon his return to the Lan family, he immediately entered the Spirit Source Land and took out the Pill Furnace.

From the shape and the carved Runes, it appeared to be a Furnace of Eight Trigrams, entirely bronze-colored, with bas-reliefs of the Eight Trigrams; the Qian trigram was at the furnace top, the Kun trigram at the bottom, the Zhen trigram at the handles, and on top stood a Three-legged Golden Crow, its wings spread as if ready to take flight, holding in its beak a Luminous Pearl the size of a fist, with a starlit glow circulating inside. The Golden Crow clutched the furnace rim tightly with its claws, each feather etched with intricate Runes.

The furnace bottom was shaped like an inverted lotus seat, with twelve petals each engraved with the Twelve Earthly Branches, and the furnace body also bore carvings of Yin Yang Taiji.

After closely examining it, Yang Zhenshan attempted to refine the Pill Furnace using Spiritual Sense.

However, he was disappointed.

After inputting Spiritual Sense and Mana into the Pill Furnace, it showed no reaction!

“How could this be?”

Yang Zhenshan was somewhat astonished.

He had previously refined the Green Glow Sword, the Black Face Shield, and the Dawn Treasure Mirror in this way, so why couldn’t he refine the Pill Furnace now?

However, after the initial astonishment, Yang Zhenshan noticed something strange.

“No, this Pill Furnace indeed absorbed my Spiritual Sense and Mana!”

If it weren’t a Magic Artifact, it couldn’t possibly absorb Spiritual Sense and Mana, just like the spiritual weapons of a Martial Artist cannot absorb Spiritual Sense and Mana, only channel Mana.

Stroking his beard in thought, Yang Zhenshan once again input his Spiritual Sense and Mana into the Pill Furnace.

One strand, two strands, three strands…

Initially, Yang Zhenshan was still experimenting. As time went on, he simply sped up the input process, pouring all of his Mana and Spiritual Sense into the Pill Furnace.

Until he felt dizzy and light-headed, the Pill Furnace still showed no reaction.

“Damn it~~”

Yang Zhenshan couldn’t help but curse under his breath, “I just can’t believe this.”

He began meditating to cultivate with the Void Refining Scripture, recovering his Divine Soul Power.

Two hours later, with his Divine Soul and Mana mostly restored, he once again infused the Pill Furnace with Spiritual Sense and Mana.

Still no response.

Yang Zhenshan continued meditating to recover, and after recovery, infused it once more.

He seemed to be locked in a battle of wills with the Pill Furnace.

After repeating this process more than ten times, there still was no reaction from the Pill Furnace, but instead, Yang Zhenshan found that his Divine Soul and Mana had become much purer.

“…”

Yang Zhenshan was somewhat speechless.

The continual output and recovery helped refine his Divine Soul and Mana—an unexpected gain.

But what on earth was this Pill Furnace, absorbing so much of his Mana yet showing no response?

In the end, Yang Zhenshan ran out of options and simply decided to ignore whatever nonsense the Pill Furnace was, focusing instead on refining his Divine Soul and Mana.

This method of continually outputting and recovering to refine Divine Soul and Mana was actually not an unexpected gain, as Yang Zhenshan already knew this was possible.

Previously, Yang Zhenshan needed to spend significant time for continuous output and recovery.

Because it took him considerable time to deplete his Spiritual Sense and Mana compared to directly infusing them into the Pill Furnace, which was much more laborious.

Now with the Pill Furnace as this bottomless pit, it saved him a lot of time.
