“Guan Shangli said, ‘Junior brother, choose for yourself, I cannot give you advice. Once you have chosen, you cannot change your mind…’

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, ‘Yes, senior brother!’

But in his heart, he was urging, ‘Hurry up and come out to help me see which pill furnace is better!’

Although Wang Weijun was feeling very down, he still forced himself to appear. He looked at the pill furnaces in the warehouse through Mi Xiaojing’s eyes.

‘Walk around the edge!’

Guan Shangli said, ‘There are no truly advanced pill furnaces here. These pill furnaces are considered good, and are usually used by cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage. Oh, and there are some pill furnaces here that are actually broken. Of course, I can’t tell you which ones they are. You need to choose for yourself…’

Mi Xiaojing couldn’t help but roll his eyes. This was too unfair. There were actually broken pill furnaces here. Fortunately, Wang Weijun was helping to choose. If he had to choose on his own, he might have made a mistake.

After walking around, Mi Xiaojing had basically looked at all the pill furnaces in the warehouse. He stopped in the middle of the warehouse, closed his eyes, and communicated with Wang Weijun.

Guan Shangli just silently watched, thinking that Mi Xiaojing was contemplating.

‘How is it? Which pill furnace is better?’

Wang Weijun was also pondering. After looking around, he couldn’t find one that he was satisfied with. The quality was good or bad, and there was one pill furnace that he was very interested in, but it had some problems. It would have to be refined again if they took it back. He didn’t know if Mi Xiaojing could collect the materials needed to refine it.

In addition to the damaged pill furnace he was interested in, there was another one that was also good enough to use, but it had major defects.

‘I’ll give you some advice. There are two pill furnaces in total, one good and one bad. One can be used immediately, and the other needs to be refined again. However, the one that can be used immediately has some defects, and the other one is damaged. If you follow my method and refine it again, it will be a very good pill furnace. You won’t need to replace it until you reach the Foundation Establishment stage at the earliest. Which one do you want to choose?’

Mi Xiaojing thought for a moment and said, ‘I want the bad one, but there is one condition. Can I refine it again?’

Wang Weijun smiled and said, ‘Yes, but you need certain materials. I don’t know if you can find them.’

‘Are they very precious materials?’

‘No, they are common materials. It’s just that one of them may be difficult to find… Gan stone, also known as mirror gang stone. Although it’s not very precious, few people collect it. If you’re lucky, you might find a lot of it. If you’re not, you won’t find a single piece.’

Mi Xiaojing was suddenly in a dilemma. After a while, he said, ‘Never mind, I just need to be able to refine pills. If I can’t refine pills because I’m looking for one material, then it’s not worth it!’ “Wang Weijun said, “Okay, you choose a pill furnace that can be used for alchemy. As for the other one, you can collect the materials yourself. Once you have everything, you can use the intact pill furnace to exchange for the damaged one. I believe they will agree!”

Mi Xiaojing opened his eyes, and Guan Shangli asked with a smile, “Have you decided?”

“Yes, I want this pill furnace!”

Guan Shangli looked surprised. This pill furnace was widely recognized as the best one in the storage room. He never thought that Mi Xiaojing could pick the best one.

“Do you know about this pill furnace?”

“I don’t know. I just randomly picked it. Is it not good?”

“Ah…haha, this one is just average…actually, the other one is better…”

“Hehe, never mind. I like this one. Look at the pattern, it’s so beautiful. I like this kind!”

Guan Shangli almost vomited blood. Beautiful? What does beauty have to do with a pill furnace? However, he couldn’t stop Mi Xiaojing from getting this pill furnace. Even if he tried to persuade him to exchange it for another one, Mi Xiaojing insisted that the pattern was beautiful.

In fact, Guan Shangli had planned to leave this pill furnace for someone else. He couldn’t understand how Mi Xiaojing, who was not an experienced pill master, could pick the best pill furnace out of nearly fifty furnaces.

“Do you also want this pill furnace, Senior Brother?”

Mi Xiaojing came up with a good idea and said, “Senior Brother, if you want this pill furnace, I can use it for a while. Don’t worry, it won’t take too long. Then I will secretly come over and exchange it for another pill furnace in the storage room. How about that?”

Guan Shangli looked at Mi Xiaojing in surprise and said, “Do I look like I like this pill furnace that much?”

Mi Xiaojing nodded vigorously in his heart, thinking, “You kept trying to persuade me to take another pill furnace. Obviously, you didn’t want me to take this one. Anyone can see that.”

Guan Shangli was speechless. After a while, he nodded and said, “Okay, it’s settled then. I owe you a favor!”

Mi Xiaojing took down the pill furnace and asked, “What’s the name of this pill furnace, Senior Brother?”

Guan Shangli replied, “Chi Yun Ding. It’s one of the best pill furnaces used in the Foundation Establishment period.”

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, “Chi Yun Ding! It’s a good name!”

Guan Shangli said, “Okay, Junior Brother, we’ve settled it. I hope you can come and exchange the pill furnace as soon as possible. Hehe.” His laughter contained a hint of bitterness. He owed Mi Xiaojing a favor for no reason, and he still had a bit of a knot in his heart. However, he couldn’t blame Mi Xiaojing. He should have said earlier that he couldn’t give him this pill furnace. Mi Xiaojing probably had no way of knowing.

Mi Xiaojing knew that Guan Shangli was not happy, so he smiled and said, “Hehe, Senior Brother, I’ll take my leave now…”Guan Shangli waved his hand and said, “Go ahead, if you have any problems in the future, feel free to come to me. If I can help, I will definitely do so!”

Mi Xiaojing put the Pill Furnace into his storage bag and then flew into the sky on his sword. Now that he had advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, he no longer needed to walk long distances on the ground.

Upon returning to the small courtyard, Zhang Ke and the others were all cultivating, while Mu Xiaoyin was nowhere to be found. It was unknown where she had gone.

Arriving at the edge of the spiritual spring, everyone knew that Mi Xiaojing was in a critical period, so during this time, the others had gotten used to cultivating in their rooms, leaving the cave empty.

Sitting by the spiritual spring, Mi Xiaojing took out the Chi Yun Cauldron.

The Chi Yun Cauldron was only the size of an adult’s fist. Since it was equivalent to the concept of a low-grade magical artifact, it could be shrunk and required certain magical techniques to open.

The deep purple Pill Cauldron had three legs and a round belly, with fire cloud-like spiritual patterns densely covering its surface. It was impossible to see the material it was made from. Even in its shrunken form, holding it in one’s hand, there was a faint warmth.
