I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

When Si Qian saw Ye Qingning put the hairpin on Bai Wei, he wanted to drag the three of them forward.

Along the way, Ye Qingning and the other three walked around and bought a lot of things, and tried all kinds of snacks and cakes.

Someone even bought a cup of fairyland version of iced fruit tea. It is said that the fruits in it are all spiritual fruits. One cup costs fifty low-grade spiritual stones, which is equivalent to five medium-grade spiritual stones.

As soon as you take a sip, the refreshing and sweet aroma of the spiritual fruit fills your entire mouth. The cool feeling makes you feel refreshed. Plus, it’s made from spiritual fruit, so you feel your mind is clear after taking a bite. One word: worth it!

The four of them drank and walked around for several hours, and almost visited all the markets in Yunhai City.

Ye Qingning had actually always wanted to buy an alchemy furnace. After all, she was an alchemy practitioner in her previous life. But until night fell, she had not been able to find an alchemy furnace that caught her eye.

If the sword is the Taoist companion of the sword cultivator, then the alchemy furnace is also the Taoist companion of the alchemy cultivator. Although it is common for the furnace to explode during alchemy, using the Taoist companion metaphor means that there is one Taoist companion after another.

But you can't just pick someone randomly because you know your Taoist partner might be bad.

Yunhai City is also very lively at night, but the lively places are mostly restaurants, gambling stone shops, and night auctions.

Ye Qingning wanted to go to the last two places, but gambling on stones and auction houses were great places to spend a lot of money.

Those raw stones that looked good would start at a price of at least tens of thousands of top-grade spirit stones, not to mention the auction house. Her 30,000 top-grade spirit stones were not enough to raise the price.

The four of them wisely did not go. It would be the same if they went later when they had spirit stones. However, it was already late at this time, and many stall owners who had set up stalls in the open air had already packed up and left.

The number of people on the street was sparser, as everyone was going elsewhere. However, Ye Qingning's attention was attracted by an extremely inconspicuous stall on the roadside.

The stall was very simple, with just a piece of oilcloth spread out.

The few items placed on it all looked a bit shabby and worn, forming a sharp contrast with the bright and shiny stalls around it.

The stall owner was an ordinary-looking old man. While others were packing up their stalls and preparing to leave, he was the only one sitting behind the stall with his head lowered, looking drowsy.

Not only did he not pay attention to whether there were customers coming to the store, he was also not afraid of things on the stall being lost. His Buddhist attitude made Ye Qingning feel something was unusual.

After all, she has lived a new life. Before she traveled through time and space, she was an internet-addicted girl who never put down her novels. Isn’t this sleepy old man and his stall the standard stall where the protagonists in novels find their treasures?

But when Ye Qingning really walked closer and looked at the items on the stall one by one, he felt a little disappointed.

Si Qian was also holding a book and said with a hint of disappointment: "I thought it would be a book like a sword manual, but I didn't expect one to be 'Introduction to Immortal Cultivation' and the other 'Spiritual Beast Breeding Manual'. None of them are suitable for me."

"And these, they're all tattered. I even doubt if this old man picked up the things on this stall from some corner."

Although Si Qian said that, he still politely put the book in his hand back to its original place.

Just as he was about to leave, Ye Qingning suddenly saw the bench where the old man was sitting.

It's more like a furnace than a bench.

Because it looked tattered and even rusty, and the old man had just sat on it, she didn't notice it was a furnace. She thought it was a large piece of iron that the old man had picked up and was using as a stool.

If she hadn't smelled a hint of the scent of the elixir when she just left, she wouldn't have turned back to take a second look, and only then did she realize some clues.

But it’s strange, whose real alchemy furnace looks like this!

Most other alchemy furnaces, whether square or round, have legs designed as a tripod. Of course, there are also ones with four or five legs, but this is the first time she has seen one without even one leg.

It’s not a frying pan, and a frying pan isn’t that high!

Bai Wei and the other two were confused when they saw Ye Qingning suddenly staring at the "bench" where the old man was sitting. They didn't know what was so good about a big rusty piece of iron.

"Junior sister, are you looking at that iron stool? Is there anything wrong with it?" When Bai Wei asked this question, the scene of Ye Qingning picking up a big rock and smashing someone's head emerged in her mind.

I also wondered for a moment if Ye Qingning thought it would be more convenient to use this big piece of iron to hit people on the head?

Ye Qingning shook his head, walked closer, squatted down beside the old man, and began to carefully examine the frying pan in the alchemy furnace world.

The system was sharp-eyed and saw the clues, exclaiming in surprise: [Ningning! Ningning! Alchemy furnace! This ugly thing is an alchemy furnace! It's an ancient, long-lost alchemy furnace, I think it's called, what was it called...!]

[Floating furnace.] Ye Qingning said to the system. It was only after observing it closely that she remembered that there was such a furnace in the world.

There is only one levitation furnace in the world. It is said that it first appeared in the hands of an alchemy master in ancient times, and then disappeared. She never expected to see it here today.

The suspended furnace is known as a god-level alchemy furnace. As its name suggests, the furnace has no legs, not even a single leg.

The entire furnace is square in shape and is forged from a type of meteorite called Floating Light Ore, a material that has the unique ability to levitate and balance itself.

But the biggest secret lies in the internal structure of the suspension furnace.

Although it has no legs to support it, the inside of the furnace is engraved with complex spiritual arrays. These spiritual arrays can not only maintain the furnace's suspended state, but also automatically adjust the temperature and flow of spiritual power required for alchemy according to the medicinal materials put in.

When the medicinal materials are put into the furnace, the suspended furnace will automatically activate, and the spiritual array at the bottom will emit a faint light, forming an invisible spiritual support to keep the furnace stable.

In addition, there is a special spiritual energy input port on the top of the suspension furnace, through which the alchemist can directly input spiritual power to adjust the temperature during the alchemy process.

Easy to understand version: If you want to refine the elixir manually, you can do so. If you don’t want to do it manually, you can turn on the automatic refining mode.

The advantage of automatic mode: it can automatically adjust the temperature and won’t cause the furnace to explode due to poor control of the temperature!

Thinking back to her past life, the alchemy furnace that she often blew up and the furnace cover that was blown away several hills, she felt that this floating furnace was perfect for her.

This is her dream furnace!

"Excuse me for interrupting your rest, Senior. I'd like to ask you, how much is this stove for?"

Ye Qingning knew that the old man was not asleep, otherwise she could wait until he woke up before asking for the price.

The system was anxious: [Routine! Where's the agreed routine! Ningning, why did you just say it was an alchemy furnace? Maybe even the old man himself didn't know this big piece of iron was an alchemy furnace! We might as well pick up a treasure!]

Ye Qingning felt that the dog system was also because he had read too many novels. Those protagonists who picked up treasures at a bargain price, do the people who sell them things really not know what they are selling?

All of these people are hidden-level big shots. They set up stalls just to see who catches their eye and sprinkle some water for the younger generation to take advantage of the opportunity.

If you try to be clever in front of these people, you will be seen through at a glance. Sincerity is the real killer.

Besides, she could already smell the residual scent of the elixir, so it would be so fake to pretend that she didn't know.

Bai Wei and the other two stared at the large piece of metal under the old man's buttocks in shock. This shabby and ugly thing is an alchemy furnace?!

Is that right? Where's the furnace leg? Did the old man remove it?! Can I still make the elixir?

Bai Wei: Junior Sister Ning, do you want to buy the furnace to refine elixirs, or do you want to buy it to smash someone? Will this furnace smash someone to death?

The old man raised his head after hearing Ye Qingning's words.

A pair of wise and shrewd eyes looked at Ye Qingning for a moment, and then slowly uttered two words: "Not for sale."

Not selling?

Ye Qingning was slightly stunned. If you don’t want to sell it, why are you taking out the alchemy furnace and sitting under it?

It seems that she didn't just meet a stubborn old man, but a difficult big block of iron.

small theater:

Mysterious old man: No, no, no! Why would I ride on it if I sell it to you, old man?!

Ye Qingning: ...Okay, okay, okay, I guess you just need a bench, right?
