Chapter Fifty-One: Injecting Golden Liquid

  In the storage room of Weiyuan Wangfu, Chu Hao summoned the Hunyuan Ding, which was now stirring the Zilong fire. He slowly watched the fire and put the materials beside him into the cauldron to merge with the Hujin pill.

  The entire process had lasted for more than an hour, and Chu Hao felt that the Tiger Tendon Pill was about to take shape. He split off a thread of his mind and called out: "Chen Honghong, quickly pour in the Golden Liquid! The Hunyuan Cauldron still hasn't reacted until now, you little scoundrel, don't tell me you're deceiving me again!"

  "Shut up, you little brat!" Chen Honghong also cursed, her voice somewhat serious, saying: "Don't disturb me, I'm extracting the golden liquid from the tripod." After a pause, she continued: "Ah, it's been 2,000 years since I last used this, now it's a bit sparse. If you keep arguing with me and I extract less, don't blame me!"

  "You just keep going, I'm just reminding you, look at your temper, where did you think of it?" Chu Hao immediately changed his tone and continued to flatter shamelessly: "My request is not much, just like you said before, twenty a day is enough."

  "What a white-eyed wolf!" Chen Honghong said with a bad tone and then fell silent.

  Chu Hao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly tightened his control over the flames. Now he could vaguely feel that his fire control skills had improved a bit, although they were still far from reaching their previous level. However, he estimated that it wouldn't take long for him to break through to the second rank of Human Stage cultivation.

  It's incredible that he can advance his fire control skills from Human Rank 1st Class to Human Rank 2nd Class in such a short period of time. It's not unprecedented, but at least it's extremely rare. The reason for this is entirely due to his unparalleled familiarity with the Purple Dragon Fire, as well as his past experiences and the assistance of the Mysterious Cauldron. Otherwise, having only been in this world for less than twenty days, it would be impossible for him to progress at such a rapid pace.

  "The sword rides the wind, eliminating demons between heaven and earth!" Chu Hao controlled the fire with one hand, while his body generated a continuous stream of flames. With the other hand, he frantically fanned himself, thinking to himself: "Just wait until I refine 180 Tiger Tendon Pills, eating them for every meal. I'll show you that your cultivation and foundation are nothing but empty talk! What's the use of precious artifacts or magical treasures? My Transcendent Spirit Treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron, is what truly makes me invincible - a treasure coveted by both yin and yang realms!"

  At the thought of it, Chu Hao couldn't help but burst out laughing loudly. Just then, Chen Honghong shouted: "You rascal, what's wrong with you? Quickly lift up the Hunyuan Ding, I'm going to start extracting the Golden Liquid!"

  Chu Hao heard this and his whole body shook, not daring to be slow, immediately reciting the incantation, the Hunyuan Ding floated in mid-air in the miscellaneous goods room. At this moment, the Hunyuan Ding was radiant with light, like starlight shining brightly, while purple flames rose from the bottom plate, jumping and leaping, mysterious and beautiful.

  At this moment, Chu Hao's whole body was sweating profusely, and he had to hold up the Hunyuan Ding with one hand while controlling the fire with the other. With his current cultivation level, the speed at which his spiritual energy was being consumed was extremely fast, and the subsequent flames were also affected, making him somewhat unable to cope.

  "At most two breaths..." Chen Honghong also felt Chu Hao's difficulty, but at this moment, she couldn't spare any attention and could only remind him.

  Chu Hao didn't respond, gritted his teeth tightly, one breath, two breaths, three breaths... Before long, five breaths had passed, and Chu Hao's head spun dizzily. He wanted to open his mouth and scold Chen Honghong loudly, but he couldn't even open his mouth.

  Suddenly, I felt a lightness throughout my body. The Primordial Cauldron flickered with a burst of colorful light, which was dazzling even in the daytime. It seemed to be the deep blue color of the starry sky. The entire Primordial Cauldron was covered with a thin layer of phosphorescent glow, its surface crystal clear and shining like water, with a watery blue light that seemed to have stolen the stars from the sky and spread them on the cauldron.

  At the same time, Chu Hao and Hunyuan Ding's minds were connected, and as soon as they left, he "saw" two blue water droplets slowly dripping into the cauldron, pure and unadulterated, without any impurities. In an instant, with the falling of those two water droplets, the materials in the Hunyuan Cauldron began to gather together. Chu Hao's heart condensed, and the Purple Dragon Fire slowly exerted its force, guiding the materials in the cauldron to fuse together. Only then did a green mist rise from the cauldron, and after the mist dispersed, pill after pill lay quietly at the bottom of the cauldron.

  Chu Hao panted heavily, only to hear Chen Honghong's voice transmitted over with a hint of fatigue, "Alas, it's been so long since I've refined one successfully. Truly, I'm not as vigorous as I was in my younger years."

  Chu Hao put down the Hunyuan Ding and withdrew the qihuo into his dantian. He knew that this was the moment when the Tiger Tendon Pill could be taken out of the oven. Previously, Chu Hao had heard about the Golden Liquid, and he thought it would be a golden light, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blue liquid. Che Xuan Yuan, this old ancestor, really has a strong sense of humor.

  But thinking of the previous two drops of golden liquid dripping into the Hunyuan Cauldron, Chu Hao said: "Chen Honghong, you extracted it for half a day, how did you only get two drops of golden liquid?"

  "Hey, kid, do you know how much golden liquid the Hunyuan Ding produces every day? Only three to four drops, and I gave you almost half of it. You're still not satisfied! Chen Honghong recovered for a moment before saying: "First take a look, how many Tiger Tendon Pills were successfully made this time. With the injection of golden liquid, I'm sure the quality of these Tiger Tendon Pills will far surpass the three pills in your hands."

  Chu Hao's expression changed slightly, but the words he had just spoken were only casual. After all, he knew that Chen Honghong relied on Jin Ye to maintain his spiritual energy, so he didn't expect him to use much Jin Ye to help himself refine the elixir.

  But now, Chen Honghong has taken more than half for himself. This affection is indeed not light.

  "Thanks." Chu Hao said in a low voice, then opened the Hunyuan Cauldron, and felt that the spiritual energy that rushed towards him was much thicker than before. Accompanied by it, there was also a faint scent of medicine.

  Chu Hao looked into the Huanyuan Ding and counted, neither more nor less, exactly twenty-six! With his current materials, a success rate of ten would be fortunate, but with the help of the Golden Liquid, he was able to produce more than double that amount! This was simply unbelievable!

  "How about it, are you satisfied now?" Chen Honghong was extremely pleased with the look of astonishment on Chu Hao's face and said with great pride: "With the infusion of golden liquid, your equipment refining and alchemy will be twice as efficient. When your furnace fire cultivation improves a bit more, I'll give you other pill formulas. You collect the materials, and then you can start refining them. At that time, heh heh, that's when the real rapid progress will begin."

  Chu Hao's heart beats faster, looking at the twenty-six tiger tendon pills in the Hunyuan Ding, each one of which has a color that can't be compared to the three tiger tendon pills in his own arms!

  After adding the golden liquid, not only did it produce a quantitative change, but also a qualitative change!

  Chu Hao took out a small bottle, carefully put in 26 tiger tendon pills, then covered the lid, and continued to recite the incantation, withdrawing the Hunyuan Cauldron back into his body.

  "With these twenty-six elixirs, even if the speed of refinement isn't as fast later on, as long as I keep at it, I'll eventually break through the barrier of acquired cultivation and reach innate cultivation!" Chu Hao thought to himself, filled with confidence!

  Hesitating for a moment, Chu Hao didn't immediately take out the Tiger Tendon Pill and swallow it. Instead, he tidied up his surroundings and walked out of the storage room. Looking at the sky, noon had passed, and it seemed to be afternoon already. Chu Hao calculated in his heart that Tao Ran's auction should be ending soon.

  Chu Hao wasn't in a hurry, and went to the martial arts arena again to take a look. Liu Li and others were indeed still training afterwards. Then he retreated again, returned to his room to make up for an afternoon nap, and got up to eat dinner.

  Xiao Si stood by, occasionally casting glances at the young master, to be honest, he was very puzzled by the young master's abnormal expressions over this period of time. This feeling was as if he had seen the young master from three years ago. Oh no, it should be said that compared to the young master from three years ago, there was something more, specifically what, Xiao Si himself couldn't quite put into words.

  "Is there something on Xiaowang's face?" Chu Hao touched his own face, looking at Xiao Si staring at himself from time to time, and asked with a slight smile.

  "No." Little Fourth hastily lowered his head.

  "Alright, after you and the others have finished dinner, go to Ning Caiyuan to check on General Zhen Shi for Little Wang." Chu Hao said lightly, then after sending Xiaosi away, he returned to his room, put on the black robe, and took out the token from Tao Ranju. After checking the sky, he had Chen Honghong use the shrinking bone technique, then circulated his internal energy and flipped his body to leave the Wang Fu.

  Taoran House, after the auction that took place after noon, has already ended for many hours. This auction can be said to have shocked the entire capital city. The emergence of second-grade artifacts and elixirs has once again made Taoran House's name resound loudly.

  At this moment, Hu Dong was sitting in the side hall, sipping tea while listening to the servant's report on today's auction profits and the struggles between various princes and ministers at the auction.

  In fact, from some auctions, it can be seen that in the capital city, who are not compatible, who have ulterior motives, and who have formed cliques and are plotting subtle schemes.

  Hu Dong had been in the capital for many years and had long since become accustomed to hearing such things. For example, today's appearance of General Sun Yue was something that no one had expected. And those few solid pellets, without exception, were all bought by him.

  It turned out that the second-rate flying sword that even Hu Dong himself coveted had been obtained by an unknown innate cultivator.
