He was born as a blacksmith, but he dominated the world

Chapter 322 Two choices
The shopkeeper knelt down in front of Xia Shanliu with a thud and said in a trembling voice, "I was deceived by him, it was not intentional. I beg Master Alchemist to forgive me!"

Xia Shanliu didn't even look at him, but stared at Jiang Lin, and said in a cold tone: "You can be fooled by others, idiot! I will fine you three years' salary, and you can receive thirty lashes yourself."

The shopkeeper's body trembled, but he didn't dare to say anything more. He just stood up and looked at Jiang Lin with anger.

Jiang Lin didn't care. A drug store owner was no longer worthy of his attention.

Xia Shanliu said, "Since you came here for the strange fire, then go back."

After saying that, Xia Shanliu turned around and was about to leave, with no intention of saying any more.

The Purple Nether Fire is the foundation of his life, how could he be willing to give it to others?

"If you are willing to sell this fire, I can guarantee that the amount of Kongming Powder that Master Xia Dan will earn every year will only be more, not less." Jiang Lin said.

Xia Shanliu stopped walking, turned around and gave him a slightly mocking look: "You also know that the world is here for the Kongming Powder. If they knew that this pill was made by you, why would they come to me again? What's more, if one day you don't give it to me, what can I do to you? It's a joke."

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the benefits he mentioned were indeed more harmful than beneficial to Xia Shanliu.

If it were him, he might not agree.

Seeing that Xia Shanliu was about to leave again, Jiang Lin immediately stepped forward.

Six figures fell at the same time, all of them were guards at the Yuanwu realm, and surrounded Jiang Lin.

"Stop! Otherwise don't blame us for being ruthless!" a Yuanwu realm guard said in a deep voice.

Xia Shanliu turned around again and sneered, "Boy, I know you have a high level of cultivation, but these Yuanwu Realm guards are nominally with me, but they are actually members of the Duan family. If you dare to take action, you will be an enemy of the Duan family. If you are not afraid of death, you can give it a try."

Jiang Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. It was obviously irrational to make enemies with the powerful clans.

Even though Marshal Yu is never polite when speaking to these dignitaries, that's because he has millions of border troops and the Daqian Dynasty standing behind him.

Although he has a backer, his influence is ultimately not as great as that of Marshal Yu.

If a real fight breaks out, we will definitely end up in trouble here.

"How many elixir patterns are there in Master Xia Dan's Kongming Powder?" Jiang Lin suddenly asked.

"How many Dan patterns?" Xia Shanliu sneered, "Two, so what? Are you trying to say that there are more Dan patterns than the ones I have refined?"

"It's hard to say whether my elixir patterns can be more than Master Xia's. It shouldn't be much different, but I can guarantee that every furnace can be successfully refined." Jiang Lin said.

"You?" Xia Shanliu didn't believe a word of it.

Jiang Lin didn't care whether he believed it or not, and said: "I can indeed guarantee the success rate of each furnace. If Master Xia doesn't believe it, I will go to Duan's family and inform them of this. When the Duan family comes to ask for the Purple Netherworld Fire, Master Xia may not be able to get anything good."

"Why do you think Duan's..."

Before Xia Shanliu could finish his words, he saw the burly figure in front of him suddenly burst out with an unimaginable powerful aura.

The six Yuanwu realm guards were forced to kneel on one knee by the pressure of this aura. Their bones were creaking and they couldn't even lift their heads.

Everyone was shocked, Xia Shanliu was even more shocked when he said, "Godly Martial Realm!"

He never imagined that this reckless man who sneaked in by taking advantage of the disciple test and wanted to seize the Purple Nether Fire actually possessed the cultivation level of the Divine Martial Realm.

Xia Shanliu's face looked extremely ugly, and he cursed the shopkeeper in his heart.

A fine of three years' salary and thirty lashes?

Too light!
He should be chopped into pieces!
You brought a Shenwu realm cultivator with ill intentions here, do you want me to die?

After all, Xia Shanliu had witnessed many big scenes, and although he was frightened, he was not too panicked.

"Your explosive power will definitely attract the Duan family's Divine Martial Realm masters to come and check it out. They will be here in no time!"

This was of course a threat, but Jiang Lin didn't care. He said, "We want to lure the Duan family's experts here so that we can explain things to them face to face. I think the Kongming Powder, which is 100% successful and may be of better quality, plus the third-grade cultivation in the Divine Martial Realm, should make them curious."

As he spoke, Jiang Lin seemed to have noticed something. He glanced at a certain direction in the air and then said, "The people from the Duan family have arrived. There is not much time left for Master Xia Dan to consider. It's up to you to make a deal between you and me, or for me to make a deal with the Duan family."

Xia Shanliu also sensed an aura belonging to the Divine Martial Realm, approaching rapidly from a distance. It must be a master of the Duan family.

His face looked very ugly. If Jiang Lin was just talking big, Xia Shanliu would not be shaken at all even if he said anything.

But with the cultivation level of the Divine Martial Realm, it is completely different.

Even among the powerful clans, there are countless masters in the Divine Martial Realm. People of this level would never seek anything by lying.

From this perspective, what Jiang Lin said is at least 70% credible.

And what Jiang Lin said was not wrong. Although the Duan family had never tried to seize the Purple Nether Fire, the main reason was that Xia Shanliu had a high probability of success in refining the Kongming Powder, and the powerful clans also needed such elixirs to enhance the family's strength.

If another person appears and refines Kongming Powder better than Xia Shanliu and with a higher success rate, the Duan family will definitely grab it without hesitation.

There are no absolute allies in this world, they are nothing more than some interests involved. Once the Duan family takes action, it is hard to say whether I can save my life, let alone gain any benefits.

The powerful clans also have to save face, so how could they let people accuse them of stealing things?

If someone dies, it is not called robbing, but picking up.

The whistling sound approached rapidly, and soon, several figures fell from the sky.

A master of the Divine Martial Realm with a powerful aura, not much weaker than Jiang Lin, landed beside Xia Shanliu and stared at Jiang Lin with a vigilant look on his face.

"Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Seeing the "helper" arrive, Jiang Lin restrained his breath.

He did not speak immediately, but looked at Xia Shanliu, waiting for his answer.

Xia Shanliu was extremely hesitant. Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jiang Lin simply said, "I am an alchemist, and I am quite good at Kongming Powder..."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Shanliu was immediately frightened and quickly interrupted, "Don't be surprised, my dear brother Zhiyuan. This man is an old friend of mine. He came here to ask for advice on how to refine the Kongming Powder."

"Excuse me? Are you also an alchemist?" Duan Zhiyuan was full of surprise. It was the first time he saw an alchemist with such powerful cultivation.

"Yes." Jiang Lin saw the slight retreat in Xia Shanliu's eyes, and he knew what was going on. He cupped his hands and said, "I have a little talent in martial arts, and I just showed Master Xia Dan how much I have improved. I didn't want to alarm you all, and I'm really sorry."

"I see." Duan Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed and said, "I'm glad you're alright. I won't bother you anymore. When you're done, you can come to the Duan's mansion to find me. I'll definitely treat you with good tea and good wine."

Jiang Lin cupped his hands and said, "No problem."

Then Duan Zhiyuan left with several people at the peak of Yuanwu Realm. They were not Xia Shanliu's guards, they just came to check if anything happened.

Only after these people left did Xia Shanliu breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at Jiang Lin with a slightly complicated expression.

Jiang Lin put on a faint smile and said, "Master Xia Dan, can we discuss this deal now?"

Xia Shanliu gritted his teeth and said, "You have to prove what you said just now. You have to have at least two elixir patterns and succeed in every furnace!"

"No problem. Master Xia, please show me the recipe." Jiang Lin said.

Xia Shanliu was stunned for a moment, then his face darkened, and he felt like he was being fooled.

This guy hasn’t even seen the recipe for Kongming Powder, how can he guarantee the success rate?
But he still made a gesture and ordered someone to fetch the recipe for Kongming Powder Pill, and said at the same time: "Please don't blame me for not giving you a chance. If you fail this time, don't mention this matter again."

"Of course." Jiang Lin nodded.

He didn't dare to say that the quality of the pill was too high, but the success rate was very sure.

The 7th level alchemy technique can ensure Jiang Lin a % success rate when refining high-level elixirs. This is not just talk.

Soon, the recipe for Kongming Powder, the necessary medicinal materials, and the furnace were all prepared.

After Xia Shanliu dismissed the people around him, Jiang Lin glanced at the recipe and began to grab the herbs.

He moved quickly, taking the herbs in the blink of an eye, and then stuffing them all into the stove that had already been ignited.

Seeing this scene, Xia Shanliu couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

This method is even worse than that of an apprentice, it is absolutely ridiculous!
If he could refine Kongming Powder in this way, he would be willing to eat up the entire furnace!
As for the shopkeeper, Xia Shanliu now felt that he was extremely stupid.

This person must have used some method to hide the pills in the furnace in advance and then took them out. Even with such a crude method, he could be deceived.

It seems that the owner of Shanliutang needs to be replaced by a smarter one.

As the fire rose, the medicinal materials soon melted. Under the perfect control of the fire temperature, the medicinal juice began to blend rapidly and turned into what Jiang Lin needed.

Xia Shanliu stood nearby and felt more and more that something was not right the more he watched. All the herbs were burnt, so how come there was not even a hint of burnt smell?
Moreover, a familiar fragrance slowly wafted out of the stove.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide, walked quickly to the furnace mouth and looked inside, only to see a large amount of medicinal juice blending together on its own, and under the burning heat of the fire, it continued to condense into a round shape.

Although it has not yet been fully formed, judging from the current situation alone, it has far exceeded expectations.

"Impossible!" Xia Shanliu looked up at Jiang Lin with a look of astonishment, and asked, "How can you refine a pill with this skill?"

Jiang Lin smiled faintly and said, "The world is so big that nothing is impossible, and the same is true for alchemy techniques. Although my method may seem absurd, it is effective. Master Xia Dan, there is no need to be surprised."

Xia Shanliu remained silent. He didn't know how to comment on what was happening before his eyes.

From the time he first started practicing alchemy to now when he is old and frail, he has seen countless alchemists and their methods.

Some are indeed strange, but none can compare to this one.

If it works just by stuffing the herbs in and stewing them together like burning firewood, then what's the point of me being careful and following fixed steps for many years to put each herb in at different temperatures and times?
