Nine Dragons Devouring Heaven Technique

In a mountain forest on the Void Continent, Lin Yan and his two companions temporarily settled down.

This mountain forest is rather desolate and lacks resources, so there's no need to worry about being discovered hiding here.

Lin Yan covered the surrounding world and set up a small spatial array before he felt at ease.

He took out a broken cauldron from his storage ring.

This cauldron was purchased by Master Haotian at an exorbitant price during an auction.

There is also a faint seal inside the cauldron.

After obtaining it, Master Haotian did not have time to break the seal, so it fell into Lin Yan's hands intact.

"This seal is no ordinary seal; even I cannot break it!"

Lin Yan attempted to circulate his cultivation to break the seal.

As a result, his cultivation level vanished without a trace, like a clay ox sinking into the sea.

"The seal on this cauldron was left by at least a high-level Dou Ling Realm alchemy grandmaster! It might even be more than that; there's a good chance it was left by a top-level Dou Ling Realm grandmaster!"

The Dragon Emperor Sword Spirit was equally surprised.

"A top-tier grandmaster!"

Lin Yan was moved, and his breathing became rapid.

Advanced Grandmaster corresponds to the seventh level of the Douling Realm, while Top-Tier Douling Grandmaster corresponds to the ninth level of the Douling Realm!

The Great Desolate Dragon Emperor back then was only at the peak of the ninth level of the Battle Spirit Realm!

In the Void Continent today, those at the ninth level of the Douling realm are already top figures, and the ancestors of the major Douling families are only at this level.

Even some of the weaker patriarchs of the Douling families are not this strong!

This is suspected to be a relic of a top-tier master, so its value is extremely high, definitely more than just 30,000 star coins!

"Sword Spirit, can you break this seal?"

Lin Yan asked with burning eyes.

"It's a bit difficult, but I can give it a try!"

Sword Spirit Path.

It stored the cauldron inside the Sword King Tower.

The seal left by a top-tier Dou Ling Realm expert is not so easy to break. It might take several years to break it even if you try. If you leave it outside indefinitely, it will be a huge waste of time.

Inside the Sword King Tower, the refining speed is equivalent to five hundred times faster.

"Prepare some immortal jade for me."

Sword Spirit Path.

"You want more Immortal Jade?"

Lin Yan was stunned.

"Do you think breaking the seal is easy? It requires numerous supreme methods. Without immortal jade or energy ore, where would the power come from?"

Sword Spirit Path.

"I can produce around one billion Immortal Jade here."

Although Lin Yan received a lot of money, most of it was in the form of star coins, and very little of it was real immortal jade.

"Ten billion isn't enough. Find a place to exchange all the money you have for immortal jade, as soon as possible."

Sword Spirit Path.

"One billion isn't enough?"

Lin Yan was stunned.

A Grandmaster of the Douling Realm probably only has one or two hundred million in cash on him! One billion is equivalent to the net worth of several Grandmasters of the Douling Realm!

"I need to use the power of a high-level Douling, and ten billion immortal jades can only activate the power a few times. It is not enough to last until the seal is broken."

Sword Spirit Path.

"Okay then, I'll do it as soon as possible!"

Lin Yan immediately set off to find the Immortal Jade. Exchanging for Immortal Jade was not difficult; almost every major city on the Void Continent had a branch of Honghe Star Travel.

Using his status as a guest elder of Honghe Star Travel, Lin Yan easily exchanged his more than 200,000 star coins for more than 2 billion immortal jade.

In addition, Lin Yan also sold the warships of the Ding family and Qin clan that he had previously seized, with each warship in the Douling Realm costing seventy to eighty million immortal jades.

In the end, they managed to gather a total of 3 billion immortal jade for Lin Yan.

These 3 billion immortal jades, plus the previous 1 billion immortal jades, total 4 billion immortal jades, which is an astronomical figure even for a Dou Ling Realm expert.

The sword spirit's power revived, comparable to a seventh-level Douling weapon. In addition, the sword spirit's knowledge was comparable to that of a Yuanhai Realm king. After spending several months, it finally broke the seal on the cauldron.

"Kid, you've hit the jackpot this time!"

Blade & Soul was pleasantly surprised.

First, there's this cauldron. After it was opened, it turned out to be a relatively complete high-level alchemy cauldron for the Douling Realm!

Although it looks broken, it's only scratched on the surface; the internal patterns are mostly preserved.

"This cauldron is easy to repair. As long as I gather the necessary materials, I can restore it to its peak condition! Even without restoring it to its peak condition, the value of this cauldron is enough to make even high-level Douling Pill Dao Grandmasters envious! If we consider its value, it's worth at least 10 billion Immortal Jade!"

Sword Spirit Path.

"What! A treasure worth billions of immortal jades!"

Lin Yan couldn't help but gasp.

"What's so strange about that? A high-level Douling Realm alchemy cauldron can't be bought with money. It's much rarer than a high-level Douling Realm weapon. Don't you think about it? A single Douling Realm pill can be worth tens of millions, and a rare Douling Realm pill can even be worth hundreds of millions. A cauldron for refining pills only sells for tens of billions. Is that expensive?"

"I'm annoyed," the sword spirit said.

"Right."

Lin Yan nodded.

A high-level alchemist in the Douling Realm wouldn't be unable to refine pills without a cauldron, but having a cauldron would significantly increase the success rate.

For example, Lin Yan is currently a low-level Douling alchemist. If he could obtain a high-level Douling medicine cauldron, refining mid-level Douling pills would not be a problem.

It's similar to a weapon; a powerful expert at the third level of the Douling realm, wielding a high-level Douling weapon, is comparable to someone at the fourth level of the Douling realm.

"This isn't even the most valuable part. Besides the cauldron itself, there are some medicinal dregs inside, which are also very valuable!"

The sword spirit removed the dregs. There weren't many dregs, only about the size of a few handfuls, but the sword spirit sounded somewhat excited.

"What's the value of this?"

Lin Yan was puzzled.

"If I'm not mistaken, the original owner of this medicine cauldron was a top-tier Douling Grandmaster. And these dregs, although they only have the medicinal properties of a high-level Douling level, should be remnants of a top-tier Douling pill from countless years ago."

"Make good use of these dregs. When refining pills, you can add them to improve the quality of your pills significantly."

To a top-tier alchemy master, these are just medicinal dregs, but to an alchemy master of Lin Yan's level, they are treasures.

It's no exaggeration to say that even low-grade spirit-cultivating pills aren't as valuable as these medicinal dregs!

Lin Yan's eyes lit up: "We've made a fortune! The value of these medicinal residues is probably over a billion!"

"This isn't all there is to the medicine cauldron. Inside it, there's a drop of blood!"

"The sword spirit said again."

"A drop of blood? Could it be the blood of the original owner of the medicine cauldron?"

Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat.

The blood of a top-tier Douling Grandmaster is extremely valuable.

A single drop of blood might offer a glimpse into the lineage and Daoist essence of a top-tier master.

"No, it should be the blood of the people it killed. However, I can use this drop of blood to locate the burial site of this cauldron! Perhaps we can even unearth an unparalleled treasure!"

"The sword spirit said."

Lin Yan's eyes lit up. If he could find the location of the secret realm, it would be a relic involving a top-level Grandmaster of the Dou Ling Realm, and its value would be immeasurable!

"Do you want me to locate you?"

The sword spirit inquired.

"Don't tell me location services cost money?"

Lin Yan frowned.

"Of course, if you were a high-level Douling Grandmaster, you could just transfer your power to me directly, but unfortunately you are not. So I can only use Immortal Jade to circulate my power, but it won't cost too much money, about five hundred million will be enough."

"If you're reluctant, then forget it. You've already made a huge profit this time."

Sword Spirit Path.

"Locate it! Give it a try!"

Although Lin Yan felt the pinch, he still decided to take the plunge.

If the tomb of a top-tier Dou Ling Realm expert were truly unearthed, it would be far more valuable than five hundred million.

Even if he fails, the loss of 500 million is not an unbearable burden for him. At worst, he can just rob a few more Dou Ling Realm experts.
