Chapter 110: The Desolate Scripture Cauldron, Gathering Spirit Secret Formation

  "Sister, Xu Yang is going to refine the elixir, let's avoid it." Li Wang pulled Li Yuanxi's arm and dragged her away.

  Li Yunzi shook her head and said, "But I just want to observe, okay?" She looked at Xu Yang with pleading eyes, "Xu Yang little brother, you need an assistant when refining pills, right? How about me?"

  Xu Yang said: "No need for an assistant, but we are short of a medicine boy."

  Li Yuanzi was taken aback, and her eyebrows were about to furrow in anger. However, she glanced at the three medicinal materials placed aside and thought that Xu Yang might possess some secret technique that would allow the Three Treasure Dan Master to overcome the obstacle and refine a fourth-grade dan medicine. Her anger suddenly dissipated into thin air.

  "Medicine boy is great, I'm most suitable to be a medicine boy!" Li Yuanxi said with a smile, "Xu Yang little brother, no, Xu Yang Da Dan Shi, I'm willing to be a medicine boy, please accept me!"

  Li Wang let out a loud laugh at this, he had never seen his spoiled and arrogant sister so obedient.

  Xu Yang felt somewhat helpless and shook his head, saying: "I know what you're thinking, but crossing stages to refine the elixir is very difficult. Even if you see my secret technique, you won't be able to do it."

  Li Yunzhi was unwilling to give up: "I'm several years older than you, if you can do it, why can't I?"

  Xu Yang waved his hand: "The key is not here. One code returns one code, I refined the [prolonged life pill] to repay Xiao Junhou's favor, but it does not include teaching you the secret of refining the elixir."

  Li Yuanzi's eyes rolled around, and she pulled over Li Wang beside her: "Like this, you let me observe the alchemy, I'll give you this younger brother as a little brother. Normally he'll help you with serving tea, sending water, washing clothes, folding quilts, and when fighting, he'll take the knife for you. How about it?"

  Li Wang had just taken a sip of tea when he suddenly spat it out.

  Xu Yang was also speechless for a moment, then said: "If you continue to make trouble, I'll find another place to refine the elixir."

  Li Yuanzhi still didn't give up and thought for a moment, then happily said: "I've got it! I'll use this tripod to exchange for another chance to observe, how about that?"

  A faintly glowing storage ring appeared in front of Xu Yang, and a light yellow ancient medicine cauldron emerged.

  This tripod has four legs, is about three feet high and three feet in circumference. On the wall of the tripod are engraved patterns of one hundred beasts, including fierce tigers, long snakes, large peng birds, peacocks and so on. Just standing there, it gives off a faintly ancient and rustic aura that hits you right in the face.

  "Although I don't know the origin of this tripod, it's extremely sturdy. I've used it for so long and it hasn't been damaged in the slightest," Li Yanzhi said, somewhat reluctant to part with it. "So, this must be a precious ancient tripod! Xu Yang, what do you think?"

  Xu Yang's heart skipped a beat.

  Is this tripod really the legendary "Huangwen Ding"?

  Xu Yang walked over, opened the lid of the cauldron, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out. He didn't pay attention to this, but instead used his eyes to scan the inner wall of the cauldron.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, on the inner wall, row after row of barbaric characters were densely arranged, with mysterious and ancient words exuding an air of vicissitudes.

  "It's almost certain, this is 'Huangwen Ding'!" Xuyang made a decisive judgment in his heart.

  The Huwen Ding, cast in the late barbarous era, consists of eight pieces, is a barbarian tribe, records its own text, the inner wall has many barbarous texts translation, is an important ancient artifact for studying barbarous texts.

  With the Wén Dǐng, Xǔ Yáng can learn many barbaric texts, which plays a very important role in his study of the mysterious and magical techniques of the Barbarian Era.

  In the golden age, many places had barbarous articles, paragraphs and sentences, but the vast majority of people abandoned them like worn-out shoes, because no one recognized the barbarous characters.

  However, on the surface of the Huawen Ding, there is a translation of the barbarian script! Although this is only one of the eight tripods, the text is not complete, but it can already be considered a treasure!

  Think about it, the era of savagery, the glorious period of the alliance of all ethnic groups, those humanoid alien tribes, even the ancient beasts that could contend with the supreme beast, what a shocking divine power?

  This ancient Ding vessel itself doesn't hold any earth-shattering secrets, but it is one of the eight keys to all the barbarian scripts.

  The Li family obtained the Hu Wen Ding, but did not discover the internal barbarian texts and translations. This was because the translations were covered up and required special means to be displayed.

  "Alright, I'll change." Xu Yang stroked the smooth body of the Hu Wen Ding, saying quietly.

  "Hehe, alright then! Let's get started with alchemy right away!" Li Wanxi couldn't wait any longer.

  "Xu Yang, sorry to have put you in a difficult position." Li Wangyi clasped his fists together. He thought Xu Yang had agreed only because he was looking out for him and had no other choice.

  Xu Yang didn't say it out loud, he's no fool, of course he wouldn't explicitly state the value of Hu Wen Ding.

  Under Li Yuezhi's urging, soon there were only two people left in the courtyard, she and Xu Yang.

  Xu Yang took out eight pieces of mysterious stones engraved with talismans from his bosom, measured the directions and then shook his hand to throw them out. Instantly, the eight talismans were arranged in all directions.

  "What kind of formation is this?" Li Yunxi exclaimed in surprise.

  Xu Yang didn't say a word, and initiated this small momentum. Suddenly, with the position of Huang Wenting as the center, the dark energy from all directions surged into the cauldron.

  "Oh my god, this is the 'Spirit Gathering Formation'! I understand now, you want to use the Spirit Gathering Formation to forcibly raise the flames produced by your own Xuanli to the level of a Fire Extreme Xuan Master, and then use that to refine the fourth-grade medicinal materials!" Li Wanxi exclaimed, covering her cherry-like mouth with her hand, her pretty face full of shock.

  "This is your secret technique? You're too arrogant!" Li Yuanzi criticized, "Through the effect of the Ling Gathering Array, it's true that the quality of the flames can be improved, but how do you control the temperature?"

  What Lí Yuànzhī said is correct, the Spirit Gathering Array is equivalent to an amplifier, amplifying the flames produced by Dān Shī Huàshēng, achieving the effect of smelting high-grade medicinal materials.

  But smelting medicinal materials is not necessarily good at high temperatures, and the fire temperature must be carefully adjusted to cope with different types of medicinal materials. Even if only one type of medicinal material is smelted, the temperature will change greatly in different stages.

  With the array of spiritual energy, even a small oversight or mistake by Dan Master in controlling the temperature will be magnified many times! The success rate of alchemy is almost zero.

  Li Yuanzi was extremely indignant. She had paid a precious ancient tripod, but the secret method she got in return was only a diagram of an array for gathering spirits. This was really not worth it.

  Xu Yang ignored her, his left palm pressed against the wind mouth of the medicine cauldron, and the Huo Xuan force surged in.

  Suddenly, a seven-foot-high flame spouted from the mouth of the cauldron, extremely hot and intense, with an astonishingly high temperature.

  Lai Yuanzi, who was standing beside her, almost got her hair burned off and let out a startled cry as she shrank back.

  Xu Yang slowly controlled the flames, and under his powerful spiritual energy control as a two-lifetime cultivator, the seven-foot-tall scorching hot flames quickly shrank in size, their temperature also gradually decreasing.

  Xu Yang's other hand surged with suction power, drawing over a vine with green and yellow stripes that was placed to the side, throwing it into the flames in the cauldron.
