A Helpless Choice
Rewind time to three hours ago.
"Master, now that the pill has formed, are you sure you want to use the Samadhi True Fire to shorten the time?"
The boy guarding the pill furnace frowned. He had been refining pills with Old Lord Taishang for tens of thousands of years. It could be said that he was second only to Old Lord Taishang in terms of pill refining in the Heavenly Court.
The pill in the furnace had already taken shape, and it would definitely come out after three days of warm refining.
However, Old Lord Taishang wanted him to use the Samadhi True Fire to shorten the time. If he used the true fire now, it might cause the furnace to explode.
The materials in the furnace were all rare treasures. If it exploded, he would feel sorry for his master even though they weren't his materials.
"Cut the crap, I told you to use the Samadhi True Fire so do it. Do you think you can teach me a lesson already?"
Old Lord Taishang raised his eyebrows. The boy quickly shook his head and replied with a bitter smile.
"Whatever you say, I'll do it the way you say it."
Zap.
The flame in the furnace became brighter and hotter. The bottom of the furnace also became red.
Old Lord Taishang's immortal spirit sense had been observing the situation of the pill in the furnace. After refining pills for hundreds of thousands of years, how could he not know that using the Samadhi True Fire now was practically courting death. If he wasn't careful, he might cause the furnace to explode.
If he had enough time, he wouldn't do this even if he was beaten to death.
However, the Immortality Peach Feast was just around the corner, and it would start soon. If the pill didn't come out, would he have to go empty-handed?
The Queen Mother had already said that the effect of the face retaining pill wasn't as good as before. It wasn't that the effect was weaker, but that the Queen Mother had eaten too many, and her body already had antibodies.
This time, he purposely upgraded the face retaining pill, making it more difficult.
Chance of the furnace exploding …
Before he could calculate the chance of the furnace exploding.
boom！
A monstrous sound suddenly rang out from the alchemy room. Taishang Laojun immediately responded. He pulled back the boy who was controlling the Samadhi True Fire in front of him with his left hand and quickly set up a forbidden spell in the alchemy room with his right hand.
A fire lotus rushed into the sky. Many people in the Heavenly Court couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw this fire lotus.
It seemed like Old Lord Taishang had developed a new pill, and the person to be rewarded at the Queen Mother of the West's birthday banquet would be him again. As for the reason why these immortals thought that way when they saw this scene, it was because … Who would believe that Old Lord Taishang would cause a cauldron explosion while refining pills?
"Master! It … it exploded! "
The boy stuttered from behind Old Lord Taishang. He raised his hand and slapped the boy's head.
"I don't need you to tell me that. I also saw the furnace explode!"
As he spoke, Old Lord Taishang looked at the situation in the alchemy room, his heart bleeding.
It was one thing for the cauldron to explode, but it also destroyed his alchemy room. There were still many of his painstaking efforts in here. Before this, he had even considered that if the furnace really exploded, he would use the treasured pills here to deal with it …
Damn.
However, he did not expect that the power of the pill furnace explosion this time would be so great. Just the impact of the energy just now might even be able to turn an early stage Human Immortal into ashes.
The boy rubbed his head, covered his nose, and used a spell to disperse the thick smoke in the alchemy room.
"Master, what should we do now? The Queen Mother's Immortality Peach Feast is about to begin."
At the Immortality Peach Feast.
Immortality Peach Feast!
Old Lord Taishang was about to go crazy. If it wasn't for the Queen Mother's frequent Immortality Peach Feasts and frequent consumption of age-halting pills, he would not have needed to upgrade his pills!
No, if someone was to blame, it was that Sky Sovereign Nameless.
If it wasn't for the fact that he said he had a treasure to give to the Queen Mother as a gift, he would not have given up on the pills he was halfway through refining and started over again, which delayed his pill production …
But what did he get in return?
Broken stockings!
He even swindled a few hundred bottles of pills from him.
"Master, Master, a fairy from the Queen Mother's side has come to invite you to the Immortality Peach Feast." A young boy appeared outside the alchemy room. When he saw the situation, he immediately blinked and looked at his Senior Brother with a dumbfounded expression.
"Shh."
The senior brother put his finger to his lips, signaling the boy to stop talking. At this time, Old Lord Taishang also took out a cigarette from his pocket and tossed it into his mouth. A small flame appeared between his fingers, and he lit it up.
"Tell that fairy that I already know. How about this, you go with her first, I'll be right there."
"Yes, Master!"
The two boys left the alchemy room at the same time. Old Lord Taishang scratched his beard, then set his gaze on Ye Zichen's phone.
There's no other way, I can only try from Sky Sovereign …
That's why the conversation just now happened.
Ye Zichen revealed a faint expression of helplessness when he saw Old Lord Taishang's message. It seems like Old Lord Taishang still doesn't believe that the stockings I sent are that treasure. But that's fine, he used so many pills to exchange for a stocking that was worth ten-odd yuan, it was indeed a bit of a loss.
Since he doesn't like it, then I'll just give him another treasure. If it really doesn't work, then I'll go to his jewelry store to get a diamond ring or something. Women all like shiny things, and diamonds aren't too bad of a material.
"Old Lord, wait a moment. I'll go and get you a new treasure right now."
"I wonder how long Sky Sovereign will take?" Old Lord Taishang replied urgently. The Immortality Peach Feast had already begun, and the fairies from the Queen Mother's side had already rushed him more than three times. He didn't have much time to waste.
"About two hours."
There should be a lot of traffic in Bingcheng at this time, so Ye Zichen's two hours was a conservative estimate.
"Celestial Venerable, please don't tease this old man. The Immortality Peach Feast has already begun, how could I possibly have two hours to wait for you? "
"Then there's nothing I can do. If you have time, then wait for me for two hours. If you don't … Then use the stockings. Or rather, if you don't trust the stockings, then use your own pills. You've been in the Heavenly Court for so long, how could you not have any? "
Ye Zichen didn't believe that Old Lord Taishang didn't have any precious pills. However, when Old Lord Taishang saw the message …
F * ck you.
Wasn't he just saying that to piss me off on purpose!?
He did want to use his precious pills as a gift, but all of them were blasted into smithereens just now.
"Sky Sovereign, this old man will remember this grudge," Old Lord Taishang smashed his phone to the side angrily.
At the same time, a servant sent a message that the Queen Mother's fairies had come to invite him over.
Old Lord Taishang clenched his teeth, then returned to his room and took out the black stockings that he had nearly thrown away.
"I'm really going to give this to the Queen Mother?"
Old Lord Taishang felt like his head was about to explode. However, he really couldn't take out any rare treasures, and he couldn't go over empty-handed.
"Never mind, I'll take this!"
