Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 107: From a Bronze Furnace to a Spirit Gathering Furnace—Only an Array Master Wife Away

Chapter 107: Chapter 107: From a Bronze Furnace to a Spirit Gathering Furnace—Only an Array Master Wife Away

Six days later.

11:45 PM.

[Cultivation: Qi Cultivation Fifth-Layer, 777/2000]

[Skill: Third Tier Alchemist, 5/1000]

Advanced to Third Tier Alchemist.

Qin Gengyun calmly looked at the illusory text in front of him and silently stood up.

The still slightly panting Qiu Zhihe turned over and asked, "Where are you going?"

Tonight is not the night for training magical combat on Yunling Mountain.

Qin Gengyun turned back with a smile, "Zhihe, I’ve become a Third Tier Alchemist and want to try refining the Continuing Soul Revival Pill."

He then remembered that Susu was still in the alchemy room next door and apologized, "I was too excited and forgot Susu was next door, let’s talk about it tomorrow."

"It’s no bother."

Qiu Zhihe got up, walked straight out of the bedroom, opened the door to the alchemy room next door, walked to the sleeping mat where Liu Su was, and said indifferently:

"Still pretending to sleep?"

Liu Su opened her eyes groggily, "Miss? Uh, Miss, what are you looking for?"

Qiu Zhihe said, "You eavesdrop outside every night, thinking I wouldn’t know?"

Qin Gengyun was shocked, incredulously pointing at Liu Su, "Susu, how could you do such a thing?"

Seeing her cover blown, Liu Su stopped pretending, sat up with a mischievous smile, scratching her messy hair:

"I’m just curious. Listening doesn’t hurt anyone. Miss, don’t be so stingy! Ouch!"

She was immediately pulled up by her ear by Qiu Zhihe and quickly begged for mercy, "Miss, I was wrong, I’ll never dare again!"

Qiu Zhihe coldly said, "Help him with the alchemy."

After saying that, she turned and left the alchemy room.

Liu Su rubbed her ear and glared at Qin Gengyun, "It’s all your fault!"

Qin Gengyun, uninterested in her accusations, sat cross-legged before the pill furnace, taking out several spirit grasses for refining the Continuing Soul Revival Pill, all prepared by Qiu Zhihe ahead of time.

Liu Su had no choice but to sit beside him, igniting the pill fire, wielding the fire-control spirit fan while muttering:

"You’re already refining Third Grade Spirit Pills, yet still using such a low-grade spirit fan, isn’t it a bit inadequate?"

Qin Gengyun was momentarily stunned, thinking she made a valid point; being a Third Tier Alchemist, perhaps it’s time to consider upgrading to a middle-grade spirit fan, and maybe this bronze furnace should be upgraded to a spirit gathering furnace as well?

A middle-grade spirit fan costs around 200 Spirit Stones, while a spirit gathering furnace costs much more, at least a thousand Spirit Stones.

Once he secures the order of 40 Third Grade Spirit Stones from the Zhenyang Sect, he can upgrade the equipment.

So he kept his focus, placing the spirit grasses into the pill furnace, releasing his divine sense, and concentrated on refining the pills.

An hour later.

The pill was formed.

"Ugh, what is this thing?"

Liu Su took out a thumb-sized pill from the pill furnace, black and irregular in shape, sticky to the touch.

Qin Gengyun remained calm, "First time refining a Third Grade Spirit Pill, failure is normal, let’s try again."

Liu Su snorted disdainfully, back when the Sect Leader refined Sixth and Seventh Grade Spirit Pills, it was always a success on the first try, yet you fail at just the Third Grade, how pathetic!

An hour later.

Failed again.

"Hey, hey, sir, I think your divine sense is too fine, lacks strength, can’t it be a bit thicker?"

"How does this relate to thickness?"

"Why not? Thicker is stronger; if it’s too fine, the congealed spiritual liquid will give up halfway."

"My divine sense is perfectly uniform, Susu, how can you falsely accuse me?"

"Sir, you won’t admit it, but I’ve seen it..."

"Shut up." While they were debating, Qiu Zhihe walked in expressionlessly:

"Both of you, out."

"Alright, alright!"

The two fell silent and promptly exited.

Qin Gengyun, curious about what his wife intended to do, was nearly hit in the face as Qiu Zhihe closed the door with a bang.

Qin Gengyun, narrowly avoiding a collision, asked Liu Su with resignation:

"What is Zhihe going to do?"

Liu Su rolled her eyes, "You’re her husband, and you don’t know? Have you forgotten that Miss is also an Array Master?"

Qin Gengyun was taken aback, murmuring, "Could it be that Zhihe wants to inscribe an array inside the pill furnace?"

Liu Su shook her head, muttering under her breath, "Truly, it seems fools have luck on their side."

Half an hour later, Qiu Zhihe emerged from the alchemy room with a slightly pale complexion, saying softly:

"It’s done."

"Zhihe, are you alright?" Qin Gengyun noticed she looked a bit exhausted and asked with concern.

Qiu Zhihe didn’t reply, went straight into the bedroom, and closed the door.

Qin Gengyun had no choice but to enter the alchemy room. While the bronze furnace showed no outward change, probing inside with his divine sense made his jaw drop.

Inside the furnace, on the inner walls, was a complexly patterned array, the type found in spirit gathering furnaces.

Adding a spirit gathering array inside the pill furnace could gather more spiritual energy, significantly boosting alchemy efficiency and success rates. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

For Fourth Grade Spirit Pills, the spiritual power contained in the spirit grasses would be too vast for a regular bronze furnace, necessitating a spirit gathering furnace.

Even the cheapest spirit gathering furnace costs at least a thousand Spirit Stones. While independent cultivator alchemists can afford it, spending so many Spirit Stones is indeed painful.

Thus, among alchemists, there is a saying: every alchemist dreams of marrying two wives, one a Spirit Plant Master, the other an Array Master.

Yet he married only one, who embodied both roles.

How fortunate!

"Hey, with Miss treating you so well, if you dare mistreat her in the future, you’ll surely face heaven’s wrath!"

Liu Su said fiercely to Qin Gengyun.

Qin Gengyun replied, "Zhihe is my wife, of course I’ll treat her well. But you, aren’t you overstepping your bounds as just a Spirit Fan Medicine Attendant?"

"You! Are we still doing alchemy or not? If not, I’m off to sleep!"

...

Dawn broke outside the window.

"It’s finished, it’s finished!"

"Haha, it’s a success this time! Awesome, why are you laughing? I’m saying I’m awesome!"

Amid Liu Su’s cheers, a well-formed, high-quality pill was held by Qin Gengyun.

"The Continuing Soul Revival Pill, it’s done!"

...

Two days later.

Zhenyang City.

Prosperous and bustling, crowded with people.

Even an ordinary street here is comparable to ten Caifeng Streets in Yunling Town.

Zhenyang City covers a vast area, but no matter where in the city you are, you can always see a towering mountain reaching the sky.

This mountain resembles a giant sword piercing the sky, with six peaks branching off toward the heavens.

This is Zhenyang Mountain, where the Zhenyang Sect is located.

The six peaks are governed by the Sect Leader and the Five Great Elders.

Heaven-Reaching Peak, Divinity Transformation Peak, Danxia Peak, Xiyue Peak, Forgetful Peak, Sword Tomb Peak.

Recently, however, an incident occurred at Xiyue Peak among the Six Great Peaks, where Elder Sang Yue died in the Red Lotus Killing Array of the Demon Sect at Celestial Ridge Mountain, and his disciple Ye Xiyue was seriously injured.

Ye Xiyue was initially set to become the youngest Inner Sect elder of Zhenyang Sect, but now there are uncertainties.

The five peaks proposed an early sect competition; whoever wins the competition held in three months will become the elder.

Currently, there is an undercurrent within Zhenyang Sect, with each peak secretly preparing.

For some Talisman Masters and Alchemists with connections and certain skills, this is a great opportunity.

At this moment, in front of the mountain gate of Zhenyang Mountain, Pei Daoyu stood respectfully behind an old man with all-white beard.

Both of their expressions weren’t good.

This elder, named Chang Chunzi, was at Qi Cultivation Sixth-Layer and a Third Tier Alchemist.

He was the Grand Alchemist on whom Pei Daoyu relied heavily.

He followed Chang Chunzi to Zhenyang Mountain for two reasons. First, the Zhenyang Sect was purchasing Blood Coagulation Pills, Vessel Continuation Pills, and Replenishing Essence Pills to treat the disciples injured at Celestial Ridge Mountain.

Second, with the sect competition in three months, the peaks were buying spirit pills in large quantities; Chang Chunzi’s connections were Danxia Peak and Xiyue Peak.

Thirty Continuing Soul Revival Pills, thirty Shattered Jade Fury Divine Pills.

One pill for a hundred Spirit Stones.

If successful, that totals 4000 Spirit Stones!

However, despite their effort to come here, they hadn’t even been allowed past the mountain gate.

Only one disciple came out to inform them that higher quality Blood Coagulation Pills, Vessel Continuation Pills, and Replenishing Essence Pills had been procured elsewhere, and they were no longer needed.

As for the Continuing Soul Revival Pills and Shattered Jade Fury Divine Pills, they were required to provide high-quality pills to have any hope of securing the order.

With a smiling face and offering a good amount of Spirit Marrow, Chang Chunzi eventually learned that a portion of those high-quality pills came from Yunling Town!
