Cultivation: I have an equipment slot

Chapter 5 Alchemy Furnace

"If only I had a flying artifact."

The market town was not close to where he was.

It took a lot of effort to get there.

Looking at the spirit boats and flying swords that occasionally flew by in the sky, their envy was beyond words.

After wading through mud and water, Zhang Yan finally arrived at the sect's market town.

From a distance, it looks like a huge square.

The square was filled with disciples setting up stalls, and each stall had different items.

There are no shops here.

All of these were transactions between disciples.

This is actually quite easy to understand.

Within the sect, valuable items are generally exchanged using contribution points.

The market within the sect mainly sells small, miscellaneous, or secondhand items.

Generally speaking, the prices are not high.

Zhang Yan walked excitedly into the square.

All around were cultivators, some of whom radiated spiritual light and looked quite extraordinary.

However, most people still wore ordinary Taoist robes.

"many!"

Zhang Yan looked around.

His main targets were magical artifacts.

However, for some unknown reason, there are not many people selling magical artifacts within the sect.

He wandered around for a while before finally finding a place selling religious artifacts.

Unfortunately, they were all new magical artifacts, which did not meet his requirements at all.

He still wanted a magical artifact similar to the jade slip for transferring cultivation techniques, one that could enhance the practice of cultivation methods.

For him, the level of cultivation is still the most important thing.

"If only I could have a lot of second-hand magical artifacts," Zhang Yan sighed.

And so we just walked around and looked at things.

suddenly.

He stared intently at a stall.

The owner of that stall was a burly man with a dark face, and he didn't have many items on his stall.

Most of them are just small, miscellaneous items.

What caught his eye the most was a furnace-like object.

However, the cauldron was damaged, with cracks all over it, and looked like it was about to be scrapped.

[Name]: Wood Element Alchemy Furnace

[Quality]: Green
[Equipment Effect]: Alchemy experience +30%, Alchemy Mastery, Fire Control Mastery

See this scene.

Zhang Yan's eyes widened in disbelief.

Alchemy experience increased by 30%.
Especially the later achievement in alchemy.

What kind of amazing term is this?!
With the entry for "Minor Success in Alchemy," Zhang Yan can become a minor success alchemist!
Alchemists!
This is one of the top four arts among the hundred arts of cultivating immortality!

Which cultivator doesn't need elixirs?
To become an alchemist, one needs not only talent, but also a large amount of resources.

It was extremely difficult.

Among ten thousand cultivators, there might not be even one alchemist.

However!!!
Zhang Yan only needs to equip himself with that wooden alchemy furnace to become an alchemist!

Once he becomes an alchemist, he can easily make a fortune by refining just a few pills!

Suppressing the slight trembling in my body.

He casually walked over to the burly man with the dark face.

"May I ask, senior brother, how much does this alchemy furnace cost?" Zhang Yan pointed and asked him.

"Wooden Element Alchemy Furnace, a mid-grade magic artifact, priced at 110 spirit stones."

The burly man with the dark face glanced at Zhang Yan, spoke in a flat tone, and then closed his eyes again.

"110 spirit stones?"

"This is too expensive! The stove is already broken like this, it's hard to say if it's even usable anymore, and you still want it for such a high price!"

Zhang Yan didn't hold back in negotiating the price.

"Make it cheaper, I'll take it if you lower the price!"

Upon hearing this, the burly man with the dark face...

He opened his eyes, looked at Zhang Yan carefully again, and said, "How about this, 100 spirit stones!"

"I'll name my price, 50. Take it or leave it!"

Looking at the cracked wooden alchemy furnace.

Zhang Yan's offer was a brutal slash.

"This is a mid-grade magic weapon, how could it cost only 50 spirit stones? That's not even enough to cover the cost of the materials!"

The burly man with the dark face turned even darker upon hearing the price of 50 spirit stones, and he didn't even want to speak.

But Zhang Yan didn't give up. Instead, he continued to speak.

"Even if it's a mid-grade magic artifact, so what? It's already in this state, and we don't even know if it's still usable. Even if it is, it might break after one or two more uses. How could we possibly buy it at the price of a mid-grade magic artifact?"

"As for selling materials, that's even more unrealistic!"

“If you sell these materials to a weapon refiner, you’ll need to refine them again, which will also require spirit stones. So, if you sell them to me for 50 spirit stones, you’ll still make a profit.”

The dark-faced man's expression changed several times upon hearing Zhang Yan's words.

Finally, he let out a long breath.

"Okay, it'll be as you said, 50 spirit stones!"

"Thank you, senior brother, but I don't have that many spirit stones on me. Can I use contribution points instead?"

"Contribution points? That would be the best!"

Hearing Zhang Yan say that he would use contribution points.

The dark-faced man's expression immediately softened considerably.

Contribution points are a type of credit currency exclusive to sects.

Disciples can exchange spirit stones for spirit stones at any time within the sect, at a ratio of 1:1.

But you want to exchange spirit stones for contribution points.

That would be much more difficult.

Sect disciples all like to contribute points because the sect's treasury contains many valuable items that cannot be bought outside the sect.

These all require contribution points.

"50 spirit stones, give me 45 contribution points instead," the burly, dark-faced man said voluntarily.

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother!"

Zhang Yan took out the jade talisman.

The transaction was completed by lightly touching the other party's jade talisman.

"Alright, this mid-grade magic artifact is yours."

The burly, dark-faced man pointed at the wooden alchemy furnace and said heartily.

Zhang Yan picked up the wooden alchemy furnace and examined it carefully.

This wooden alchemy furnace is exquisitely crafted and heavy in the hand; it is definitely a fine magical artifact.

Although its entire body was covered in cracks.

But it doesn't matter.

Zhang Yan didn't care at all.

Anyway, he wanted this wooden alchemy furnace not because it was a magical artifact.

But because...

Alchemy experience!

Alchemist, minor achievement.

The term "having mastered fire control" is mentioned.

For him, the quality of the magical artifacts was irrelevant; the inscriptions within them were the most important thing!
The transaction between the two parties has been completed.

They all felt they hadn't lost out.

Zhang Yan felt he had hit the jackpot!

From this day forward, he, Zhang Yan, is also an alchemist!
We said goodbye to the burly, dark-faced man.

Zhang Yan thought about it.

They did not return to the plant garden immediately.

Instead, he turned around and went to Wudao Peak.

The Qingheng School.

There is a Peak of Enlightenment.

Every day, elders inside give sermons and lectures.

The basic components are all free.

After the trial lesson, you can choose whether to pursue further study.

Zhang Yan has just become an outer disciple.

The perk is that it includes two free spells.

This was one of the few opportunities to take advantage of the situation, so Zhang Yan naturally couldn't let it pass.

They ascended to the Peak of Enlightenment.

Zhang Yan couldn't help but gasp.

The people here.

many!

Looking around, there were crowds of people, densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see.

A rough estimate puts the number at several thousand.

In the very center was a grand hall.

It reads: Wudao Hall.

Above and around the Hall of Enlightenment, there was a huge projection displaying constantly changing information.
