Chapter 48 - Chapter 48: Chapter 48: The Four-Pattern Meteoric Fire Furnace (2/2)

“So, it exploded at the critical moment of successful concoction.”

“You should know, concocting second-grade Elixir Medicine is different from first-grade. It’s not only longer and more difficult to concoct, but the power contained within the Elixir Medicine is not something a first-grade can compare to — a regular Pill Furnace naturally cannot withstand it.” After Ning Yue finished, Lin Jing suddenly had a moment of realization.

“So that’s how it is.”

At this moment, he understood the reason for the explosion of his pill furnace.

His own cultivation was not sufficient, and his divine sense could barely manage to concoct second-grade elixir medicines with the boost provided by the alchemy room.

Furthermore, his three-legged copper furnace was also something he had bought when he first started learning alchemy, and what Elder Yu had recommended was indeed not bad.

But, it was only suitable for concocting first-grade elixir medicines, anything beyond that was beyond the bearing capacity of the three-legged copper furnace.

“It looks like I need to buy a new pill furnace,”

Lin Jing pondered.

In the afternoon, Lin Jing went to Fang Market and headed straight to Yuebaolou.

When Lin Jing arrived, there were not many customers in Yuebaolou.

Elder Yu was somewhat drowsy behind the counter.

“Elder Yu, wake up…”

“Look what I’ve brought you?”

As he spoke, he took out a jug of Qinghua Zui and swung it in front of Elder Yu.

“Kid, hand it over to me.”

Before he finished his sentence, the jug of wine disappeared from Lin Jing’s hand and appeared in Elder Yu’s.

Looking at Elder Yu now, he was full of energy, no longer showing any sign of drowsiness.

Elder Yu took a gulp of the wine and let out a long, satisfied sigh.

Then, squinting, he looked at Lin Jing.

“No one visits a temple without a cause, tell me, what is it this time?”

“I remember you’ve just bought alchemy ingredients not long ago, you shouldn’t be in need now.” Lin Jing laughed with a “hehe” sound:

“Hehe…”

“Elder Yu, here’s the thing. I want to buy a pill furnace.”

Elder Yu asked, “What, the three-legged copper furnace you had before is no good?”

After he spoke, he suddenly realized something and corrected himself:

“Right, your alchemy skills are about there now, it’s indeed time to replace that old three-legged copper furnace.”

Lin Jing lowered his head, a bit embarrassed:

“It’s not that… Elder Yu, that three-legged copper furnace, I accidentally caused an explosion while concocting and it’s broken.”

“Broken?”

Elder Yu opened his mouth in surprise, then stroked his chin.

“I wonder how you’ve been practicing, kid. Not only do you concoct elixirs quickly, but fiercely too. You actually managed to ruin a six-timed furnace like the three-legged copper furnace.”

“Anyway, you do need a new pill furnace now. Wait here for a moment, I’ll go fetch you one.”

Having said that, without waiting for Lin Jing to speak again, he left the counter and went towards the back of the shelves.

Soon after, Elder Yu came back out.

At the same time, he was holding a fiery red pill furnace in his hand, and the body of the furnace was entwined with cloud patterns, looking quite extraordinary.

Only…

This pill furnace seemed not very large, even a bit smaller than the three-legged copper furnace.

Elder Yu walked over, placed the pill furnace on the counter with a “thud,” demonstrating that despite its size, it was not light in weight.

“This pill furnace, named the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace, is forged from Fire Meteor Iron.”

“Moreover, there are four patterns engraved on the body of the furnace, which can make alchemy much more effortless for the alchemist, an exceptional magic artifact. Whether it’s concocting first-grade or second-grade elixir medicines, it’s incredibly easy.”

“Even when concocting third-grade elixir medicines, there won’t be any problems.”

“Moreover, this pill furnace is a magic artifact which contains some stardust sands. After it’s refined, it can change size at will.”

“Magic artifact…”

Lin Jing looked at the Fire Meteor Four-Pattern Furnace and swallowed. “This pill furnace must cost quite a number of Spirit Stones..”
