In the Elixir Repository's main hall, Yi Tian, Hao Ji, and Dugu Tianfeng were standing in a row. After they spread out, they extended their perception to scan the cauldron in front of them several times.
The jade scroll that Dugu Tianfeng had taken out gave Yi Tian the answer he wanted. The cauldron was called the 'Crimson Cloud' cauldron. It was a spiritual artifact that belonged to the Elixir Repository's First Seat, Wan Zongming.
The cauldron's fire had been burning for a thousand years, and it was nurturing an ancient 'Nascent Nurturing Pill'. After all, all the treasures from three thousand years ago were controlled by the Li Fire Sect, so the materials used were definitely of the best quality.
Even if they obtained the Nascent Nurturing Pill's formula, they might not be able to gather all the materials. There were even cases where the materials were gathered, but the quality was still a far cry from three thousand years ago.
The reason why Dugu Tianfeng knew of this was all thanks to his Heavenly Fiend Sect's senior who was lucky enough to obtain one a thousand years ago. At the same time, the process of opening the cauldron to retrieve the pill was recorded in detail.
Back then, the Heavenly Fiend Sect's senior used the Heavenly Fiend True Fire to forcefully open the 'Crimson Cloud Cauldron'. According to the jade scroll, there were five pills left in the cauldron after one was taken away.
Now, as the new Sect Master of the Li Fire Sect, Yi Tian had refined the sect's heirloom Nan Ming Li Fire. Logically speaking, he should be more confident in opening the cauldron to retrieve the pills.
After some thought, Yi Tian said in a deep voice, "I'm preparing to open the cauldron to retrieve the pills. If I discover any abnormalities, the two of you have to take action in time."
"Sect Master Yi's direction, from Old Rotten Province." Dugu Tianfeng replied with a solemn expression.
Hao Ji also wiped away the smile on her face and said with a serious expression, "Sister, I'll take note. Quickly retrieve the pills."
Upon hearing this, Yi Tian did not put on any pretense. He slowly walked forward and stopped thirty feet away from the Crimson Cloud Cauldron. His eyes scanned the inscriptions on the cauldron's lid and found two fire holes.
With a light sigh, he slowly stretched out his hands and clasped them in front of his chest. Following that, he began chanting while his hands rapidly formed seals. After three breaths, two flames, one red and one blue, appeared at the tips of his left and right index fingers at the same time. After the flames had condensed and stabilized, Yi Tian's eyes instantly revealed a trace of sternness. His mouth, however, called out, "Go."
With two whooshing noises, the red and blue flames flew out and hovered above the Red Cloud Furnace for a while, then flew down and accurately hit the two fiery eyes on the Red Cloud Furnace.
Suddenly, the entire Red Cloud Furnace began to change. The runes on the walls of the ancient furnace seemed to be activated. The flames on the lid of the furnace lit up along with the runes.
At the same time, Yi Tian also controlled the red and blue flames to quickly wander on the furnace wall. After activating all the inscriptions on the outer layer, he chanted again. His left and right hands crisscrossed as he sent out two bursts of spiritual energy towards the fiery holes on the two cauldron covers.
After the Red Cloud Furnace was activated, the true fire within the furnace began to surge rapidly. The entire furnace emitted a red and white light, illuminating the entire hall as if it was daytime.
The surging fiery eyes seemed to want to burst out from behind the lid. The entire Red Cloud Furnace began to violently vibrate. When Yi Tian saw this, he shouted, "Open!" The furnace lid slowly rose by about five inches.
Following that, he hurriedly extended his spiritual perception into the gap in the lid. There were five pills at the bottom of the furnace. Just as Yi Tian was about to ask Hao Ji and Dugu Tianfeng to retrieve the pills, he suddenly saw a look of incredulity on their faces. Following that, they retreated more than a hundred feet and stood far away with a look of panic.
Faced with the sudden change, Yi Tian was also confused. He asked, "What's the matter with the two of you?"
Hao Ji's face revealed a pained expression. She was unable to reply for a while. As for Dugu Tianfeng, he was panting heavily as he replied, "This furnace is strange. It can actually burn our spiritual perception."
Burning spiritual perception. When Yi Tian heard this, a light flashed in his mind. So the two of them had reached the Illumination Realm. The true fire left in the Red Cloud Furnace had such an effect. It was the 'God Vanquishing Infernal Flame' recorded in the Li Fire Sect's mystic technique.
He had only seen this mystic technique in the sect's mystic technique. It was one of the mystic techniques cultivated when the Nan Ming Li Fire reached the large success stage. It was used to subdue a cultivator's spiritual perception. After the person's spiritual perception was burned, it would penetrate their bones. The damage to their spiritual perception was no small matter. They had to rely on the power of pills to recover. Otherwise, the missing part of their spiritual perception could only be recovered by advancing their cultivation level to the next level.
The reason why he was fine was probably because he was using the sect's mystic technique to be immune to the 'God Vanquishing Infernal Flame'. Following that, Yi Tian comforted them, "The two of you can rest by the side. Lend me the task of retrieving the pills."
After saying this, Hao Ji and Dugu Tianfeng quickly retreated to an empty spot near the entrance of the hall. They sat down and checked their bodies.
From the looks of it, they did not dare to release their spiritual perception to probe the situation in the Red Cloud Furnace. Yi Tian's eyes flashed with a white light before condensing two white sparks. He snorted and shot the white sparks into the furnace.
Following that, he controlled two blobs of Nan Ming Li Fire to probe the bottom of the furnace. He divided the five Nascent Nurturing Pills into two to three parts and pulled them out.
After the two blobs of true fire flew out of the furnace, Yi Tian pointed at the furnace lid and closed it. Following that, he hurriedly swiped his right hand over the Inscription of Flame Ring and took out three jade bottles. After storing the two blobs of Nan Ming Li Fire, he took out three Nascent Nurturing Pills and placed them into the jade bottles. He then closed the bottles.
After doing this, Yi Tian gently gathered the two jade bottles and slowly sent them in front of the two. He said, "Fellow Daoists, I have kept my promise. I hope you can keep your promise as well."
Hao Ji stretched out her hand to receive the jade bottle that was floating in mid-air. She opened it and used her spiritual perception to check it. She saw a crystal clear pill the size of a longan placed at the bottom of the bottle. There was a thin layer of pill essence and pill patterns on the pill. The entire pill emitted a faint fragrance. She slowly opened her red lips and said, "I thank Sect Master Yi for his generosity. As such, our agreement is considered valid. As long as you are here, my He Huan Sect will definitely keep the matter of the Li Fire Sect in check. We can even secretly help you."
When Yi Tian heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. He believed that he had obtained the pill in exchange for Hao Ji's promise. However, that was all he could do for the time being. As long as the He Huan Sect did not stand out, there would be one less threat from a late-stage Yuanying cultivator.
Dugu Tianfeng stretched out his hand to take the jade bottle and checked it. Following that, his face revealed a look of ecstasy as he said, "Sect Master Yi is indeed a man of his word. Then, it would be impolite of me to refuse. In the future, if your Li Fire Sect has any needs, as long as my Heavenly Demon Sect can help, we will definitely not refuse. "
"Then, I would like to thank fellow Daoist Dugu. Both of us will benefit from your help," replied Yi Tian.
Shaoqing Dugu Tianfeng put away the jade bottle and got up to bid farewell. He had achieved his goal this time, so he did not wish to stay any longer. When Hao Ji heard this, she cupped her hands and bid farewell to Yi Tian. Before she left, she did not forget to leave behind her contact details. She asked Yi Tian to contact her if he could not fix the Hehuan Bell.
After sending the two of them off, Yi Tian turned around to look at the Scarlet Cloud Furnace in front of him. The corner of his mouth twitched as he revealed a look of joy.
