112: Refining with a different kind of fire!

On the other side, Jiang Luo and the other two had already walked up to another stone platform.

The vendor at this stone platform was a middle-aged man dressed in black robes, hailing from the "Valley of Ten Thousand Medicines" in Central State. Most of the items displayed on the platform were rare supplementary materials for aiding Alchemy, and among them, a bottle of liquid shimmering with a faint purple luster caught Jiang Luo's attention.

"This is 'Purple Vein Spirit Liquid.' It can neutralize the toxicity of medicinal ingredients during the refinement of Medicinal Pills, making it especially suitable for refining pills containing poison pill."

Seeing Jiang Luo was interested, the black-robed man quickly introduced it, "This bottle was extracted from hundred-year-old Purple Vein Grass. The fixed price is two seventh-grade pills."

Ye Xinlan's eyes lit up. Previously, when refining pills containing poison pill, she often ruined the Medicinal Pills because she couldn't completely neutralize the toxicity. This "Purple Vein Spirit Liquid" was exactly what she needed.

Jiang Luo glanced at Ye Xinlan, and seeing her nod, he took out two soul gathering pills from his storage ring and handed them over: "Deal."

The black-robed man accepted the Medicinal Pills, checked them carefully, and confirmed they were of perfect quality before quickly handing the "Purple Vein Spirit Liquid" to Ye Xinlan, his face filled with joy.

Perfect quality seventh-grade pills were far more valuable than ordinary seventh-grade pills.

Over the next half hour, Jiang Luo successively found several other treasures: a stalk of "Ninth-Grade Soul Grass" that could enhance Soul Power, a piece of "Heavenly Flame Stone" suitable for refining an eighth-grade Pill Furnace, and an incomplete Ancient Pill Formula, which, though not whole, recorded a crucial step for refining the eighth-grade "Calamity Breaking Pill."

Ye Zhong also bought several supplementary Alchemy ingredients that were scarce for the Ye Family, while Ye Xinlan acquired many tools to assist with Alchemy. All three returned fully loaded.

"It's getting late. Let's return to our residence first, organize these items, and study that Ancient Pill Formula."

Ye Zhong looked at the sky and suggested. Jiang Luo nodded in agreement. Just as the three were preparing to leave the Myriad Medicine Tower, they ran headlong into a group of familiar people.

Cao Dan of the Cao Family, and the Gray-Robed Elder beside him.

Cao Dan clearly hadn't expected to run into Jiang Luo here. Seeing the several Storage Pouches Jiang Luo was holding, a trace of jealousy flashed in his eyes, which quickly turned into mockery.

"Jiang Luo, I didn't expect you to come to the Trade Fair to hunt for things too? What a pity, the truly good stuff isn't something someone without your background can afford."

He shook a jade box in his hand, his tone boastful: "This is the 'Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Grass' I just bid on from the fourth floor. It can refine the eighth-grade 'Nine Revolutions Soul Returning Pill.' I bet you haven't even seen it before, have you?"

Jiang Luo couldn't be bothered to waste words with him, and walked straight ahead without even raising an eyelid.

Seeing Jiang Luo ignore him, the anger in Cao Dan's heart intensified. Just as he was about to speak and block the way, he was pulled back by the Gray-Robed Elder beside him.

The Gray-Robed Elder shook his head at him, his gaze warily sweeping over Jiang Luo.

He hadn't forgotten that this person in front of him could even kill a Dou Venerate, and was definitely not someone Cao Dan should provoke.

Although Cao Dan was unwilling, he understood the Gray-Robed Elder's meaning. He could only watch bitterly as Jiang Luo and the others left, gritting his teeth and saying, "Just wait. During the Pill Association Assessment, I will definitely make you lose face!"

After returning to their temporary residence, Jiang Luo took out the treasures he had acquired one by one, first placing the copper piece containing spirit-guiding dust separately on a jade plate.

This item was related to the Breakthrough of his Soul Realm, and required extreme caution.

Ye Zhong and Ye Xinlan were busy organizing the other medicinal ingredients, occasionally discussing the incomplete parts of the Ancient Pill Formula. Only when the night deepened did the two return to their respective rooms to rest.

After the two left, Jiang Luo immediately set up a Spatial Barrier, isolating the room from the outside world.

He sat on the Prayer Mat, holding the copper piece and observing it carefully.

The rust on the surface of the copper piece looked ordinary, but it actually contained pure Soul energy. He needed to slowly calcine it using the Strange Flame to separate the spirit-guiding dust from the rust.
