The next morning, Ye Tianfan got up early and prepared to go to the market in the inner gate to take a look and buy the furnace and alchemy materials he needed.
As for the shops and exchange meetings inside the sect, Ye Tianfan had heard of them a long time ago, but he had never been there even once. After all, items suitable for the Golden Elixir and Embryonic Breath stages were not suitable for him. It would be better to spend those spirit stones and points on reading books in the Scripture Pavilion instead of wasting them on these things.
Ye Tianfan arrived near the store and found that many people were setting up stalls on the ground. It was clear that those inner door disciples felt that selling their hard-earned items to the store at a cheap price, only for the store to resell them at a price that was at least 10% to 20% more expensive, was not worth it.
So, street stalls came into being, but the things bought on the street stalls are not guaranteed in terms of safety or quality. Some people lost their principal and bought fake goods, while others spent a few dozen yuan and unexpectedly got treasures worth thousands or tens of thousands of yuan.
For these reasons, many people call the things they buy at roadside stalls "treasures", meaning that they use the least amount of spirit stones to find good treasures. Ye Tianfan was also very curious about such things, so he followed the crowd and watched.
A glib young stall owner, about twenty years old, seemed to have noticed Ye Tianfan and hurriedly ran to Ye Tianfan's side, pulling him to his own stall, saying with certainty: "This younger brother of mine, one look at you and I can tell it's your first time here, right?"
When he heard the senior brother's question, Ye Tianfan nodded slightly, but in his heart, he was not surprised at all. After all, people who mixed here would know whether they were new or not as soon as they saw a new face, and looking at Ye Tianfan's extremely young appearance, it could be confirmed even more.
After seeing Ye Tianfan nod, the senior brother continued: "I have all good things here, take a look at this Fire God Symbol, its power is astonishingly great, it only takes 200 spirit stones or 200 points." While speaking, he picked up a symbol from his stall and handed it to Ye Tianfan to see.
Ye Tianfan looked at the talisman's appearance and found that it indeed had a very domineering look, but Ye Tianfan would not be deceived by its superficial phenomenon. So Ye Tianfan quietly attached his divine consciousness to its surface for observation.
Ye Tianfan found that this was not a Fire God Symbol, but just an ordinary fireball symbol worth ten spirit stones. The majestic layer on its surface was just a decorative item attached later. So Ye Tianfan shook his head and refused, he didn't want to be the scapegoat.
Seeing Ye Tianfan unwilling to take the Fire God Symbol, this senior brother still refused to give up and took out a Strengthening Defense Great Power Gold Seal, an Amplifying Speed Quietly Fluttering Seal, and a suitable elixir for Golden Elixir cultivators.
However, after Ye Tianfan observed them, he found that these seals were just ordinary goods on the road, but they had been decorated and changed into a different coat. So Ye Tianfan could only shake his head and give up.
This senior fellow had already felt dry mouth and tongue, he had never met a newcomer like Ye Tianfan who was so troublesome, and his heart had already retreated.
Then the senior brother asked: "I'm asking you, junior brother, what exactly do you want to buy? I've already taken out all my savings, but none of them seem to satisfy you?"
Ye Tianfan was a bit embarrassed by what he said, but still replied: "The things you showed me are not needed at all, I don't need to use them, why should I buy them? However, I do have something that I really need to buy, which is the alchemy furnace. Do you have it?"
"Alchemical Crucible", after a careful consideration, the senior brother replied: "Yes, yes, that's something I've kept for a long time, it's a great treasure."
Ye Tianfan thought to himself: I'm afraid it will never sell out, if it could be sold, you would have sold it long ago.
Ye Tianfan was thinking about this, but his senior brother was thinking: I don't know if it will work or not, using a furnace that consumes true yuan to refine elixirs is really too difficult.
Although he thought so in his heart, the senior brother still took out the furnace tripod that had been kept for several years and handed it to Ye Tianfan.
Ye Tianfan took over the small and exquisite alchemy furnace, his heart filled with surprise. He hadn't expected this alchemy furnace to be so small. Ye Tianfan was very curious, as ordinary alchemy furnaces were at least twice as large as this one.
Seeing Ye Tianfan's puzzled expression, the stall owner hastily said: "Don't look at this dan furnace being smaller than usual dan furnaces, it can still be used for alchemy and even increase the success rate a bit."
Ye Tianfan listened to his words, and it was clear that he still had some doubts. After all, this thing was so small, only the size of a fist, even if it were engraved with a compressed array, it wouldn't be compressed to such an extent, unless it was the work of a celestial being or above.
"It's true, don't believe me? Try infusing your true yuan and see. It's just that the consumption of true yuan is a bit more." As soon as he mentioned infusing true yuan, this senior brother's face turned red, obviously his words were hiding something.
Ye Tianfan didn't mince words and directly chose the fire-attribute True Essence to infuse into it. As the True Essence was infused, Ye Tianfan couldn't help but feel secretly astonished, because this cauldron's absorption of True Qi was truly enormous. Although he had only infused a True Essence comparable to that of the Golden Dan period, the cauldron only reacted after absorbing half of the True Essence he had infused into it.
According to his own speculation, he might have to exhaust the true yuan he had infused into himself in order to activate this dan furnace. However, activating it didn't mean that he could refine pills just yet. He knew that refining pills required a tremendous amount of true yuan, which wouldn't be any less than what was needed to activate the dan furnace - only more.
Ye Tianfan believed that this cauldron had other drawbacks, otherwise there would be other Yuan Ying period or higher cultivators who would want it. After all, a Fen Shen period cultivator could still use this cauldron to refine medicine.
Then Ye Tianfan asked: "Apart from the excessive consumption of true energy, what other drawbacks are there? Tell me."
This senior brother did not expect Ye Tianfan to be so clever, and could only honestly say: "The biggest drawback of this dan furnace is that the effect of improving the success rate of dan medicine is not as good as a low-grade dan furnace. I once sold this dan furnace to a yuan ying period cultivator, but later it was requested to return the goods. The reason is that the improvement in the success rate of alchemy is too small, almost negligible. It can be said that this is a waste dan furnace."
"Oh, I see. In that case, I'll buy this alchemy furnace then. Brother, please tell me the price."
"Ah, you really want to buy it? Alright, I'll sell it to you cheaply. I'll only take 500 spirit stones from you... no, I'll only take 300 spirit stones. How about that?" This senior brother almost thought he had misheard, but still reacted at the fastest speed and quoted a price.
Ye Tianfan was fairly satisfied with this price and nodded his head. He took out 300 spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them over to the senior brother.
Ye Tianfan also picked up the waste tripod and left, this senior brother did not retain him, obviously happy to have sold out this waste tripod, and thought in his heart: I didn't expect that today I made a profit without capital, taking an unwanted waste tripod actually sold for three hundred spirit stones, it's really great.
Ye Tianfan was not clear about the thoughts of this senior brother, but continued to stroll through these stalls, to see if he could buy the medicinal materials he needed. After all, the same things were much cheaper here than in the shops.
