As the door slowly opened, the first thing that came into view was an enormous alchemy furnace. The body of the furnace was engraved with dense runes and diagrams, and the three large cauldron pillars were firmly planted on the ground. A thick and heavy aura washed over them. This alchemy furnace was at least as tall as two people, and its diameter was seven feet long. It was a magnificent sight, and the crowd couldn't help but gasp in amazement. They had seen alchemy furnaces in their sects, but compared to this one, those furnaces paled in comparison. There was no comparison at all.
The most direct way to judge whether a cauldron was precious or not was to look at its size. The bigger the cauldron, the higher the temperature it could withstand, and the higher the success rate of refining a high level medicinal pill. The gigantic cauldron in front of them was undoubtedly the largest one they had ever seen.
"This alchemy furnace must be very valuable …" Lu Xuan said as he rubbed his chin.
After hearing Lu Xuan's words, the crowd that had been admiring the alchemy furnace immediately came to their senses. Their admiring gazes were mixed with a hint of passion. Clearly, they were all tempted. If they could bring such an enormous alchemy furnace back to their sects, it would definitely be called the sect's defining treasure!
However, although everyone was tempted, no one rashly rushed forward. The bloody scene in the Treasury was still fresh in their minds, and no one wanted history to repeat itself. Moreover, they didn't know what the ancient almighty had planned, and they didn't want to miss out on another treasure because of their own recklessness.
"The Jiuhua Alliance will take this alchemy furnace. The rest is yours." At this time, Long Ming finally displayed the domineering attitude of a leading disciple of the Jiuhua Alliance. His tone was unquestionable. Such a precious alchemy furnace was enough to raise the alchemy standards of the Jiuhua Alliance to another level. This was something that could benefit the entire Jiuhua Alliance. How could Long Ming let go of such a treasure? Compared to this alchemy furnace, pills were not worth mentioning. As long as there were enough spiritual materials, pills could be refined.
Hearing Long Ming's words, the faces of the non-Jiuhua Alliance cultivators turned ugly. Although they had guessed that Long Ming wouldn't let go of this alchemy furnace, they didn't expect him to be so resolute.
This time, Lin Zeyu didn't say anything. He didn't know how to refine pills, so it was useless to take it. Since Long Ming was willing to take it, then so be it.
Leng Qingqiu pursed her lips. Mustering her courage, she stood up and said: "Brother Long, I'm afraid all the pills in this hall have been destroyed. The only pills that might have survived are in this cauldron. This cauldron belongs to the Jiuhua Alliance. I wonder if you could share some of the pills with us?"
Previously, Long Ming had snatched the treasure from Lin Zeyu's hands, but did not return it to Leng Qingqiu, causing Leng Qingqiu to harbor a grudge in her heart. Although he did not have the guts to directly confront Long Ming, he still wanted to fight for his own benefits. He was a dignified Origin Realm expert, but after entering this ancient almighty's cave for so long, he actually had nothing to show for it.
"That's right. The Jiuhua Alliance eats the meat, and we want a piece of the soup." Yun Qi also stood up to support Leng Qingqiu. Not only him, but Ruo Xiangyi and Xiang Tao also nodded their heads, clearly agreeing with Leng Qingqiu's suggestion. They didn't have any hopes for Pill Crucible, but they still wanted one or two pills.
"Are there pills in the alchemy furnace? I am a little interested. " Lin Zeyu pondered as he walked forward. He was not interested in the Pill Crucible, but that did not mean he was not interested in the pills.
Long Ming frowned slightly. He originally wanted to take all the pills in the Pill Crucible, but he did not expect Leng Qingqiu to also think that there might be pills in the Pill Crucible. Now it was difficult. If they used their strength to snatch it, Long Ming was not afraid, but the words of the ancient almighty had left an extremely deep impression on him. If they fought here, it might even benefit outsiders in the end.
After thinking for a moment, Long Ming reluctantly said: "Since it's like this, then we'll do as you say. But no matter how many pills there are, I need to pick half first, and the rest will be divided equally among you."
Half … Everyone's heart slightly twitched. Long Ming was really asking for an exorbitant price. Unfortunately, whether it was strength, numbers, or background, they were all far superior to them. At the moment, they had no other choice but to tacitly agree and hope that there were enough pills.
"Hehe, divide equally? That won't do. Of the remaining fifty percent, I want twenty percent. The remaining thirty percent will be divided equally among you. " Lin Zeyu coldly said. He was used to being unscrupulous. Relying on his strength, he did not give the others any face. Moreover, this time he had learned his lesson. He did not compete with Long Ming, and instead bullied the others.
"Twenty percent is a bit too much. The remaining fifty percent, us four fourth rank sects and you, each ten percent, isn't that just right?" Yun Qi could not help but speak out.
Lin Zeyu looked at Yun Qi with slanted eyes, and said in a strange tone: "Each person ten percent is also fine. Worst comes to worst, I'll just take your ten percent after this, I won't lose anything."
Yun Qi was so angry that his face turned red. Lin Zeyu was simply a naked threat. Whoever dared to say anything to stop him from taking twenty percent would inevitably be targeted by him.
Long Ming did not say anything to stop the fierce competition. In the end, Lin Zeyu was still a member of the Nine Eastern Alliance. Even if he did not give face to the monk, he would still give face to Lin Zeyu. As long as Lin Zeyu did not oppose him, he could reluctantly accept Lin Zeyu's outrageous behavior.
"Then let's do it this way. Our four sects will divide the remaining thirty percent equally." Xiang Tao hurriedly said, clearly trying to curry favor with Lin Zeyu. Right now, the Extreme Monarch Sect's strength was the weakest. Fortunately, they were closely allied with the Peony Palace. However, if Lin Zeyu attacked him, the Peony Palace would not necessarily help.
Sure enough, hearing this, Lin Zeyu looked at Xiang Tao with approval. He laughed and said: "Not bad, you know how to adapt to the circumstances!"
"Have you all finished discussing? I will say the ugly words first, no one is allowed to attack me here. You have all seen the power of the ancient almighty, otherwise, no matter who it is, I will kill them! " Long Ming's eyes flashed with undisguised murderous intent, especially when he looked at Lin Zeyu. The cauldron was a matter of great importance. Even if Lin Zeyu attacked, he would not hesitate to kill him!
Lin Zeyu humphed lightly: "Don't worry, I have no interest in the cauldron. As long as the pills are mine, I am fine. If you want to take it back to curry favor with others, you can take it."
Seeing Lin Zeyu express his stance, Long Ming slowly walked in front of the large cauldron. He flew up, grabbed the lid of the cauldron, and forcefully lifted it, intending to open it.
But to Long Ming's surprise, the lid actually didn't move at all, and it didn't even open a crack. Long Ming thought that he had used too little strength, so he immediately shouted and increased his strength to the maximum, and then he suddenly raised it again!
The cauldron still did not respond. This time, Long Ming was a little embarrassed. His left hand grabbed the lid, and both his feet stepped on one of the cauldron's ears. He roared: "Open!"
Long Ming's face was flushed red. Obviously, he had used all his strength, but the cauldron did not give him any face, completely ignoring his actions.
Seeing this scene, Lin Zeyu's face couldn't help but turn black. He said with displeasure: "Long Ming, your acting is too realistic. Even if you don't want to take out the pills, there is no need to use such a clumsy trick to deceive us, right?"
As Lin Zeyu said this, all the martial artists present looked at Long Ming with a strange expression. Was Long Ming really acting? Was he deliberately acting like he couldn't open the cauldron's lid?
Long Ming was also a person who cared about his face. Being ridiculed by Lin Zeyu in front of him, how could he endure it? He couldn't help but roar at Lin Zeyu: "I am acting? If you have the ability, then do it yourself! "
"Come, then come. Watch me expose your true face!" Lin Zeyu was also not afraid, cursing back at Long Ming.
Long Ming coldly snorted and jumped down from the cauldron. He actually really wanted Lin Zeyu to try to open it.
Lin Zeyu rubbed his palms together as he walked forward. He jumped onto the cauldron, circulated his yuan qi, and with a loud shout, he grabbed the lid and forcefully lifted. But what surprised him was that the lid seemed to weigh millions of pounds. His little strength was not enough to lift it.
Seeing Lin Zeyu's appearance, everyone's hearts went cold. It seemed that Long Ming really wasn't faking it. This cauldron was a little strange. It really couldn't be opened. Thinking of this, they couldn't help but feel a little anxious. If the cauldron couldn't be opened, then wouldn't their pills be wasted? Would the pills inside be taken back to Jiuhua Alliance by Long Ming along with the cauldron? They also didn't have the guts to go to Jiuhua Alliance to ask for the pills.
When he realized that the cauldron really couldn't be opened, Lin Zeyu's eyes couldn't help but flash. In the blink of an eye, he had an idea. He quickly jumped down from the cauldron, and before anyone could react, he grabbed one of the cauldron's legs, intending to directly put it into his storage ring!
Lin Zeyu had a good idea. He couldn't open it, but it didn't mean that other martial arts masters couldn't. If he took the cauldron with him, then when the time came, he could ask for help from martial arts masters close to him in the sect. Then wouldn't all the pills inside be his? This was much more worth it than twenty percent of the pills.
"Stop!" Long Ming instantly understood Lin Zeyu's idea. He couldn't help but shout angrily and quickly rushed toward the cauldron. Unfortunately, there was some distance between him and Lin Zeyu, so he couldn't stop him in time.
"Hehe, the cauldron and the pills are all mine!" Lin Zeyu laughed loudly, but suddenly the smile on his face froze. This was because he discovered that the cauldron couldn't be put into his storage ring at all. It was still lying on the side, undamaged. The appearance of him holding the cauldron's leg looked a little funny.
"Get out of my way!" At this time, Long Ming finally arrived, and angrily shouted at Lin Zeyu with an imposing manner.
Lin Zeyu coldly snorted, a little unwilling to give up. "What are you so proud of? The cauldron can't be opened, and it can't be taken away. Even if I give it to you, you can't do anything about it. All of you should just give up. It seems that the ancient masters didn't intend to leave the cauldron with you."
