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

Si Qian was a lively and straightforward person, and he was quite blunt in his words. When he heard the old man say he wasn't selling it, he replied directly: "Why did you take out the furnace if you didn't want to sell it? If you've already taken it out, why aren't you selling it?"

"Did I just say your things were tattered? Now that you see my junior sister wants to buy them, you deliberately refuse to sell them to her? If that's the case, I apologize!"

"We've been wandering around Yunhai City all day, and my junior sister has looked at many alchemy furnaces, but none of them have prompted her to ask for their prices. Even though your furnace looks incredibly ugly, she asked anyway, so it must be something special."

"Since you're using it as a bench, you probably want to sell it. Otherwise, there are rocks on the side of the road, so why don't you use them as benches? Or are you not selling it because you think we can't afford it?"

The old man's mouth twitched, and then he snorted arrogantly: "I'm not selling it! You can't afford it, so go away!"

Si Qian also had a hot temper. He had never seen such a stubborn old man. He was about to continue arguing with the old man, but was stopped by Ye Qingning.

Ye Qingning had a feeling that the old man must be the kind of mysterious boss who could help the protagonist get something for nothing, but he just had a very weird personality.

Then he said, "Senior, my sister is a sword cultivator with a straightforward personality. Please forgive me if anything I said offended you. I'm not very good with words, so if I did offend you, I apologize. I know the origin of this furnace, and I only asked about its price because I saw you put it here as a bench."

"After all, Senior placed it here as a stool. Anyone who sees it will think it is useless to you. Aren't useless things meant to be sold?"

"If you don't value it, then even if it's valuable, it's still just trash to you."

"But oftentimes, what others consider waste isn't necessarily waste. When it meets someone who understands it, waste can be transformed into treasure. Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Si Qian and the other two were completely confused. What was waste? What was turning waste into treasure? How come they didn't understand anything about it?

The old man understood, raised his eyebrows, and looked Ye Qingning up and down carefully.

He had been in Yunhai City for a few days. Although some people had noticed that the bench he was sitting on was unusual and some had asked him if it was an alchemy furnace, no one had told him directly the origin of the alchemy furnace and had said such words to him.

The little girl in front of him was a very insightful person. She had even seen that he was deliberately treating the levitation furnace as waste, just to see if anyone could see that this large piece of iron that looked like waste was actually a treasure.

Compared to the straightforward female swordsman who speaks without thinking, this girl is actually good at talking.

"I didn't expect you to be so insightful and articulate at such a young age. So, tell me, what's the origin of this alchemy furnace?"

"Don't worry, there's no one around."

Seeing the old man say that, Ye Qingning knew there really was no one around, so he lowered his voice and replied, "This is a levitation furnace. The furnace is square in shape without legs, and is forged from floating light ore. There's a spiritual array engraved inside that keeps the furnace suspended, automatically controlling the temperature and spiritual power."

"The furnace body is extremely thin and light. When the flame burns inside, not even a single heat wave is emitted. Even if you touch the furnace with your hand, you won't feel any heat at all."

"At first, I didn't realize that the senior was sitting on the alchemy furnace. It wasn't until I smelled the scent of elixir that I noticed it. I think the senior must have used it to refine elixir not long ago."

Bai Wei and the other two were stunned. They had never expected that the ugly block of iron was called a suspension furnace. It sounded very powerful. No wonder Junior Sister Ye had not taken a fancy to so many alchemy furnaces before.

Who would have thought that such an extraordinary treasure was hidden in this shabby stall!

Junior Sister Ning is even more amazing! She can even recognize this!

But in this case, will the old man still sell it? !

The old man stared at Ye Qingning with some surprise. He probably didn't expect that Ye Qingning not only knew the origin of the levitation furnace, but also knew that he had used the furnace to refine pills not long ago. This really surprised him.

He originally thought that she had just started practicing alchemy, but now it seems that her attainments in alchemy far exceeded his expectations.

He narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Girl, this levitation furnace has been with me for many years. I don't intend to sell it, but I want to find someone with a predestined relationship to give it to."

"Since you can tell its origin, you are also a very insightful person. Whether you are destined to be with this alchemy furnace depends on you."

"I wonder what senior means by this?"

"Just now, didn't you tell me that you smelled the scent of an elixir and that I had used it to refine an elixir not long ago? Then tell me what kind of elixir I had refined. If you can answer correctly, I will give you this levitation furnace."

The four people and the system were all stunned. This, this, this, who could possibly answer this?!

It is said that one needs to be cautious when identifying elixirs. Not only must one identify the elixir's appearance, smell, characteristics, and efficacy, but one must also know the spiritual materials used in its refining. Even so, there are still many elixirs left over from ancient times that have not been identified to this day.

Even the great masters of alchemy can make mistakes sometimes.

How can you tell the difference just by the smell of the elixir?

Even if you use a dog's nose, you won't be able to smell it!

Si Qian and the other two seriously suspected that the old man did it on purpose. In fact, he just didn't want to give the alchemy furnace to anyone, but they still hoped that Ye Qingning could give an answer.

After all, if the answer is found, even if it is a guess, this ancient alchemy furnace will be obtained for nothing.

Ye Qingning didn't say anything, but carefully smelled the lingering medicinal fragrance in the air.

Although this smell is very light, it is still very special.

She also felt a vague sense of familiarity, as if she had smelled the scent of this elixir somewhere before.

The system sniffed around, wishing it could give Ye Qingning a cheat, but he failed miserably. After the system had a bug, he was no longer the same person.

But one day, he will be able to regain his glory!

Ye Qingning was silent, thinking for a moment, and then slowly said: "What the senior refined before was the Tianxiang Life-Sustaining Pill."

Upon hearing this, the old man sat up straight, his eyes flashing with surprise. "How do you know this is the Tianxiang Life-Sustaining Pill?"

"Replying to the elder, I once saw the method for refining the Heavenly Fragrance Life-Sustaining Pill in an ancient book. This pill is made with eleven kinds of spiritual flowers. Each of these eleven spiritual flowers has a unique fragrance. When mixed together, they produce a unique compound fragrance. After the pill is made, the fragrance lingers for a long time."

"I have studied the fragrance of these eleven spiritual flowers and can distinguish their aroma characteristics. I previously smelled the light fragrance of the Blue Moon Flower and the subtle fragrance of the Orchid, as well as the fragrance of several other spiritual flowers, so I dared to make a bold guess."

The old man widened his eyes and looked at Ye Qingning in disbelief, surprised that Ye Qingning could determine what the elixir was by such a faint fragrance.

He stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "Good! Good! Good! I didn't expect that a girl like you could actually guess it. I underestimated you before."

"It seems that this levitation furnace is indeed destined for you. I am a man of my words. I will give this levitation furnace to you, little girl!"
