The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood

Chapter 1336 - 1337: Terrestrial Fiend Devil Furnace

"Let’s first visit the transaction market in Dan City. Since this is Dan City, we should be able to get some good furnaces here."

Ye Mo immediately left the space of the Genius Badge, placing Little Jing into the space of the Genius Badge to guard Mengli, then he left the inn.

After inquiring with the innkeeper, he learned the location of the transaction market, and shortly thereafter, he was already inside the market.

This transaction market wasn’t as grand as the Great Desolation Tower, but it was filled with the aroma of elixirs.

Of course, this transaction market wasn’t solely for selling elixirs; treasures and soul techniques were available too. However, elixirs were the primary goods.

"Haha, young man, what are you looking to buy?"

As Ye Mo entered the market, an elder with a gleam in his eyes approached him.

"I have two Immortal Artifacts here, how many Wheel of Reincarnation Pills can I exchange them for?"

Ye Mo said, and two Immortal Artifacts appeared in his hand, though they were quite ordinary ones.

The elder examined the two Immortal Artifacts, checked them, and said, "According to market prices, ordinary Immortal Artifacts are worth 10 million Wheels of Reincarnation each. If you intend to sell them to us, we’ll charge a ten percent transaction fee, which means 9 million Wheels of Reincarnation for you."

"That’s fine!"

Ye Mo didn’t haggle, knowing that the trading house needed to profit too.

After a moment, his counterpart handed Ye Mo a bill worth 18 million Wheels of Reincarnation.

"Young man, is there anything else you want to buy? You sold these two Immortal Artifacts probably to purchase something, right? While our trading house in Dan City isn’t the largest, anything available elsewhere is also purchasable here."

The elder said with a smile.

"Do you have the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill here?"

Ye Mo asked.

"The Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill?"

The elder thought for a moment and said, "This kind of elixir is extremely rare. Our trading house doesn’t even have the materials to make it. Its demand is very low, and due to the high difficulty in making it, few Ninth-Order Alchemists are willing to produce it."

Ye Mo frowned; this outcome was the same as Wang Qiu Chi had mentioned. It seemed the only way to acquire the Heavenly Spirit Resurrection Pill was to participate in that alchemist contest.

"Do you have any pill furnaces for sale here? Preferably the top-notch ones."

Ye Mo continued to ask.

The better the pill furnace, the higher the success rate in producing an elixir.

"Pill furnace?"

The elder obviously didn’t expect Ye Mo to be in the market for purchasing elixirs and even intended to buy a top-tier pill furnace. From his estimation, the young man before him couldn’t be more than a hundred years old, yet he was seeking a top-tier pill furnace, clearly indicating he was an alchemy prodigy intending to make ninth-grade elixirs.

"That’s right!"

Ye Mo nodded.

"Haha, we’ve just received two supreme pill furnaces. However, the amount of Wheels of Reincarnation you currently have may not be enough for even one of them."

The elder replied.

"So expensive?"

Ye Mo was quite curious. Could a supreme pill furnace be pricier than an Immortal Artifact? It takes over a hundred years to create an Immortal Artifact.

"It’s because an alchemist competition is about to be held, and the prices have deliberately been increased by fifty percent. Also, with more people buying pill furnaces, the prices naturally go up."

The elder explained.

"Take me to see them."

Ye Mo didn’t say anything else. He wanted to see the so-called supreme pill furnaces they were talking about.

Under the elder’s guidance, Ye Mo walked through corridor after corridor and then entered a lavish hall.

In the center of the hall were two pill furnaces, each extraordinary in its own way, with a variety of colors, almost as if they possessed a life of their own.

The person standing by the pill furnaces was a woman in her thirties, wearing a black short sleeve, with long jet-black hair, giving off a competent vibe.

A number of people gathered around, pointing and talking about the two pill furnaces.

"Isn’t that pill furnace the long-lost Creation Pill Furnace? It’s said that using this furnace to make ninth-grade elixirs can increase the success rate by thirty percent."

"Increasing the success rate by thirty percent? If one can manage to purchase the Creation Pill Furnace, wouldn’t that means the champion of this alchemist competition is practically assured?"

"You can’t say that. This alchemist competition has no age limit. Your opponent might be a well-established alchemist master, so standing out won’t be that easy."

Listening to the debates around her, the woman standing by the pill furnace smiled slightly and said, "Next, I, Yang Rong, will introduce these two pill furnaces to everyone."

Yang Rong slowly walked to the grey pill furnace and introduced it: "This pill furnace is the Creation Pill Furnace, said to be the furnace of the Creation Pill Madman back in the day. After the Madman passed away, a loose cultivator accidentally obtained it and sold it to us. The starting price for this Creation Pill Furnace is 30 million Wheels of Reincarnation, with a max price of 60 million. Anyone willing to pay 60 million Wheels of Reincarnation can take it directly."

"60 million Wheels of Reincarnation!"

Hearing this price, Ye Mo couldn’t help but shake his head. Even a general Divine Venerate Strong Practitioner would struggle to bear such a cost.

The hall was silent for several breaths, and no one called out a price. Yang Rong smiled slightly, seeming to have anticipated this outcome.

"60 million Wheels of Reincarnation is indeed pricy, but if Miss Yang is willing to sell it to me for 50 million, I can take it with me right now."

Suddenly, a burly middle-aged man said calmly.

"So it’s the Wu Family Head. Could Young Master Wu have broken through to Ninth Order Mental Power?"

Yang Rong asked.

"Naturally, after a hundred years of cultivation, if my son hasn’t yet broken through to Ninth Order Mental Power, he wouldn’t bring face to his father,"

The Wu Family Head replied.

"In that case, whether or not anyone bids higher, I’ve decided to sell this Ding Creation Pill Furnace to you for 50 million Wheels of Reincarnation."

You have to say, Yang Rong has a good business-minded personality. Although the Creation Pill Furnace could possibly sell for a higher price, she also didn’t haggle much, which makes the opening price for the second furnace absolute and steadfast.

One pill furnace transaction completed, and there’s still another.

"This pill furnace has quite the background. Have any of you heard of the Pill Demon?"

Yang Rong purposely kept them in suspense.

"Pill Demon? Miss Yang, are you perhaps referring to that Demon from ten millennia ago, who used human flesh as medicinal lead to refine pills?"

One person spoke up in shock.

This Pill Demon was a demon in alchemy, with a mind essentially insane. He once used flesh as a medicinal lead to create cultivation pills, utilizing the flesh of Divine Venerate Realm strong practitioners to create cultivation pills akin to Divine Venerate Pills.

Back then, many forces sought to bring the Pill Demon into their groups to refine elixirs for them. Materials for Divine Venerate Pills were scarce, but flesh was everywhere.

However, this method was too evil, and ultimately he was killed by a reclusive Strong Practitioner from Wraith Land.

"Indeed, this pill furnace was the one the Pill Demon used for alchemy, the Terrestrial Fiend Magic Furnace."

Yang Rong nodded.

Everyone was astonished. Among those present, the oldest was probably not even over ten thousand years old. When the Pill Demon lived, they hadn’t yet been born, but they had all heard tales of the Pill Demon.

The Pill Demon’s fame was in no way less than that of the Pill Saint.

"I’ve had this tested by our trading house’s alchemist; this Terrestrial Fiend Magic Furnace can increase an alchemist’s success rate by fifty percent, with a starting price of 50 million, or a buyout option for 100 million."

Yang Rong announced the price.

"100 million Wheels of Reincarnation, I’ll take it!"

Just as Yang Rong’s words fell, a voice resonated throughout the hall.
