Seeing that Xiao Chen did not understand, the Third Palace Master explained further, "It is no longer an ordinary Divine Pill. It can be considered a living creature with its own intelligence. This is normally called a Pill Spirit. It only appears in the process of refining Divine Pills. However, the chances of it appearing are extremely rare. Normally, it is an Pill Demon.
"However, once a Pill Spirit appears, it will be even more valuable to an Alchemist than the Divine Pill itself."
Xiao Chen also knew how to refine some Medicinal Pills. He immediately understood the Third Palace Master's explanation.
This was equivalent to an Alchemist gaining an assistant. Furthermore, this assistant lived in the cauldron and lived in the blazing fire. This assistant could observe the properties and conditions of the various ingredients in the cauldron.
Even the most brilliant Alchemist could not reach the level of understanding the Medicinal Pills the Pill Spirit had of the Medicinal Cauldron.
"Do you understand now?"
The Third Palace Master continued, "However, this Pill Spirit is somewhat difficult to deal with. Normally, a Pill Spirit would feel a sense of closeness to its refiner. However, its refiner died many years ago. The situation is unique. I tried communicating with him several times, but I could not get anything out of it. "
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before saying, "I'll give it a try."
The Third Palace Master did not hold much hope. "If it does not work, then so be it. There is no need to force it."
Xiao Chen nodded in understanding. Then, he leaped into the air and landed on the Medicinal Cauldron. Then, he leaped into the blazing fire.
The inside was a world of fire. Xiao Chen knew that if the Pill Spirit wanted to hide, he would not be able to find it.
He could only think of a way to use a strange move.
The so-called strange move was nothing more than threatening and enticing. Xiao Chen was about to speak when the sea of fire in front parted to reveal a path.
The sea of fire in front parted to reveal a path. Then, a child-like boy with a red dudou tied to his chest appeared before Xiao Chen. His facial features were exquisite.
He glared at Xiao Chen indignantly and said angrily, "It's you again. Last time, you extracted ten percent of my Medicinal Pill. Then, you found an old man to kill me. If it weren't for my great luck, I would have long since died at the hands of that old man. If you want to threaten me again, then don't even think about leaving this' medicine 'cauldron. We'll die together. "
Rumble!
Her delicate little face was filled with anger, making her look extremely adorable.
However, the words that came out of his mouth were no joke.
Xiao Chen felt a little awkward. He was prepared to use the same trick, but he didn't expect his opponent to take the initiative.
As far as the eye could see, all the flames in the medicine cauldron were gathering in this place, forming a blazing fireball.
The medicine cauldron with divine characters suddenly shone brightly, and heat waves rose to the heavens.
This startled the Third Palace Master outside. "What's going on inside? Why does it feel like this Pill Spirit has a deep grudge against Xiao Chen?"
Xiu!
He hastily leaped up and arrived above the medicinal cauldron. When he looked down, he was greatly shocked.
The flames that filled every corner of the medicinal cauldron condensed into a dazzling fireball, hovering in the middle of the medicinal cauldron and not scattering.
The Third Palace Master quickly sent out a strand of Soul Energy. After piercing the fireball with some difficulty, he discovered that Xiao Chen was fine.
However, he did not know what happened inside, so he still felt somewhat anxious.
"Xiao Chen, how's the situation?"
"It's fine. I'll talk to him."
Inside the flame barrier, Xiao Chen looked around at his surroundings. At first, he was startled.
However, after a while, he calmed down.
A Pill Spirit was a Pill Spirit, after all. The more ferocious it appeared, the more timid it was.
Xiao Chen consoled her, "Don't be rash. This time, I am not here to 'extract' the 'nature' of your 'medicine', nor to refine you. If you were spiritless, I might think of a way to refine you. Since you already have spirituality, I really can't bring myself to do it.
"I'm here this time to bring you an opportunity. Look at you. After staying in this flame for a long time without Spiritual Energy to replenish yourself, your spirituality will dissipate sooner or later, right? "
The Pill Spirit's heart skipped a beat. However, he did not want to admit defeat. He retorted angrily, "So what if that is the case? In any case, if you want to extract my medicinal nature and swallow and refine me, I will die with you."
At this point, Xiao Chen already felt completely confident. He said calmly, "Aren't you just letting me off easy by doing this? When you die, the vague Divine Pill will lose its spirituality. I will not have any pressure refining it then. "
"You … I'll self-detonate at that time!"
The Pill Spirit said sullenly when Xiao Chen hit the nail on the head.
"There's no need. This is a win-win situation. This is not good for anyone. As long as you agree to help me, not only will I not refine you, but I will even give you resources to help you cultivate. It is not like there are no Pill Spirits in history who have attained the Dao. At that time, you will successfully attain the Dao and break free from the Divine Pill. I can naturally refine the Divine Pill as well. "
The Pill Spirit's mind wavered slightly. However, it vanished very quickly. He said sullenly, "You humans are not worth trusting. I will not cooperate with you."
The Pill Spirit had already spoken to this point. Unexpectedly, the Pill Spirit was still so stubborn.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. "In any case, I can be considered half your master. If not for me suppressing the Pill Demon, you would not have been born. Are you really not willing to cooperate with me? "
The Pill Spirit's heart wavered again. However, he finally shook his head resolutely and said, "No way. Since you obtained the Medicine Cauldron, you will have to refine pills sooner or later. I will not take advantage of you. I just need to take a breath of the Spiritual Energy produced during the refining process. "
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I don't even know what I want you to help me with, but you rejected me. It looks like your first impression of me is too bad. You just need to help me mold the pill during the refining process and nourish the medicinal pill. Aside from the Spiritual Energy produced during the refining process, I will also provide you with other natural treasures to help you cultivate. "
The Pill Spirit asked in some disbelief, "Really?"
"Naturally. I said it before. Helping you is helping myself. In the process of providing you with resources, I am refining the Divine Pill. Once you succeed in your cultivation, the Divine Pill will be nearly complete. At that time, you can live without the Divine Pill, and I can refine the Divine Pill in peace. Why not? "
The Pill Spirit lowered his head and entered deep thought. Clearly, he was somewhat moved by Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen continued, "You can give it a try first. In any case, you will not lose anything."
"Alright, I promise you. I'll give it a try first."
The Pill Spirit finally agreed. Then, he waved his hand and scattered the flame. Xiao Chen revealed a smile and soared into the air, flying out of the Medicine Cauldron.
"How is it?" the Third Palace Master asked somewhat anxiously.
Xiao Chen nodded. "I agree. As long as I give it a try, I can give it a try."
"No problem! The resources I give him are not worth mentioning at all compared to what he gets in return. This is great. Not only will my Medicine Refinement skills improve, but the Heaven Dragon Hall might even change because of this! "
When the Third Palace Master heard that, he felt overjoyed. "Oh, by the way, how did you do it?"
This Pill Spirit was not even willing to meet the Third Palace Master. The Third Palace Master tried to enter a few times, but he ended up in a sorry state every time. There were a few times when he almost rolled out of the hole in the dregs.
The Third Palace Master had already given up hope long ago. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen made a move and settled it instantly.
Xiao Chen smiled softly and said, "The main thing is that the other party was willing to give me a chance to meet. Although it nearly killed me the moment we met, I managed to convince it in the end."
The Third Palace Master looked at Xiao Chen and asked suspiciously, "What exactly did you do to it for it to have such a huge grudge? You startled me. I thought that the cauldron was going to explode."
Xiao Chen thought about it. Back then, he was eager to save the Pill Spirit, so he directly extracted ten percent of the Medicine. That was indeed somewhat cruel.
It was like someone forcibly extracted ten percent of their soul from a living person.
Xiao Chen did not answer the Third Palace Master's question. Instead, he looked at the medicine cauldron with divine characters. Then, he said, "Third Palace Master, I can let you use this medicine cauldron for free for one year. After one year, I want to take it back. If Third Palace Master wants to use it to refine a high-ranked Medicinal Pill, there will definitely be no problem."
Xiao Chen had his own plans. In the future, if the Blue Dragon Palace was rebuilt, this medicine cauldron would be of great use.
Xiao Chen took the risk to convince the Pill Spirit for the sake of his future Blue Dragon bloodline.
The Third Palace Master felt it was unfortunate. However, this medicine cauldron belonged to Xiao Chen in the first place.
Being able to use it for one year was already a great opportunity for him. The Third Palace Master said seriously, "Alright. If you lack any resources during this one year, as long as I can give it to you, you can take them from me."
"Many thanks."
The Third Palace Master smiled and said, "Brat, you are still being so polite with me. Quickly go back and prepare. This trip to the Silver Dragon Palace is an opportunity to broaden your horizons. Make good use of it."
"Right."
