The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

After several days at sea, the fleet finally docked at the anchorage of Kuixing Island.

The island lord of Kui Xing Island is merely the island's administrator, similar to the leader of one of the seven major sects; his strength is not necessarily the greatest.

The only ones who could attract Lu Yao's attention were the three Core Formation cultivators on Kui Xing Island: True Man Mu Long, True Man Yuan Jun, and True Man Kan Qin.

After disembarking, Master Gu took Han Li and Lu Yao to the Dengxian Pavilion on Kuixing Island. After going through a series of procedures, the two successfully obtained the right to reside on Kuixing Island.

As cultivators, they have two choices.

One option is to live directly in a cave on Kui Xing Island, where the spiritual ground provides support, allowing for faster cultivation.

Another option is to choose an affiliated island of Kui Xing Island as a cultivation ground. These islands all have only level one spiritual veins, which is more than enough for Qi Refining cultivators, but not enough for Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Therefore, Foundation Establishment cultivators generally reside on Kui Xing Island, and few choose smaller islands.

However, both Lu Yao and Han Li have secrets, so they would not choose to live on Kui Xing Island.

At the same time, Kui Xing Island also has an opportunity, namely Xiao Huan Island.

The Gold-Eating Insects originated from Xiaohuan Island.

Because the battle for passage rights is less than a month away, Lu Yao and Han Li are temporarily residing on Kui Xing Island and have not left.

Lu Yao left the matter of the magical duel to Han Li and instead went to stroll through the market on Kui Xing Island.

This trip lasted for more than ten days.

Kui Xing Island has a large market town where almost all basic cultivation resources can be found.

Lu Yao, on the other hand, focused on things like pill formulas and materials for magical artifacts.

The market was bustling with people, and Lu Yao went directly to the stalls set up by the independent cultivators.

It must be said that there are some good things among these rogue cultivators, but it's hard to tell the real from the fake; you can only rely on your own discernment.

With Lu Yao's divine sense, most things cannot be hidden from him. Even if there are things he is unsure about, once the Haotian Pearl is used to appraise them, the situation of the items will naturally become clear at a glance.

Lu Yao strolled leisurely on the bluestone slabs of the market, glancing at the stalls set up on the ground from time to time.

Lu Yao suddenly stopped and turned around, stopping at a stall.

"Fellow Daoist, is there anything you fancy? Everything here is top-quality and in high demand."

Upon seeing a customer approaching, the stall owner, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, immediately stood up and came to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao's lips twitched. Most of the items on this stall were problematic, either inferior or counterfeit, yet they dared to call them top-quality goods.

How much is this alchemy furnace?

Lu Yao chuckled and pointed his slender finger at a pitch-black alchemy furnace in the corner of the stall.

"This alchemy furnace? Fellow Daoist has a good eye. This alchemy furnace is a fine item. It was used by a master alchemist. I heard it can increase the success rate of alchemy."

The stall owner was a slender man dressed in a white robe, with a sly glint in his smiling eyes.

"Oh? How did such a good thing end up in your hands?"

Lu Yao chuckled and asked in return.

"This was found in an ancient cultivator's cave. I don't know how to refine pills, so I just put them up for sale. Fellow Daoist took a liking to these pill furnaces at a glance. It's truly fate that we meet."

"If you are truly interested, I'll offer you a reasonable price: one thousand spirit stones."

The thin stall owner's eyes darted around, and he picked up the dark alchemy furnace in his hand, smiling as he spoke to Lu Yao.

"not worth."

Lu Yao shook his head and turned to leave.

"Hey, fellow Daoist, don't be impatient, the price is negotiable."

Seeing that Lu Yao was about to leave, the thin stall owner quickly called out to him. It was rare to encounter someone interested in this alchemy furnace, and he couldn't let him get away.

He acquired this alchemy furnace from a magic artifact dealer; it was a gift given to him as part of a larger collection of magic artifacts.

It's been in his hands for several years, but he still hasn't sold it.

After all, only a very small number of rogue cultivators know how to refine pills, and the main sales force for the items on his stall is rogue cultivators, so it is naturally difficult to sell them.

He had just bid a thousand spirit stones because he thought the alchemy furnace might be a treasure, but he couldn't tell for sure, so he was testing it out. He didn't expect Lu Yao to turn around and leave, which disrupted his thoughts.

"Three hundred spirit stones, no more than that, and you also have to give me those two pill formulas."

Lu Yao turned around, pointed to the two pieces of gold paper on the stall, and said calmly.

"This……"

The lean stall owner hesitated slightly. Three hundred spirit stones was a lot, and the two pill formulas were worth no more than one hundred spirit stones, so he wouldn't lose money selling them as a package.

He hesitated because he wondered if the alchemy furnace was a treasure, and what if someone stole it.

Lu Yao wasn't in a hurry and just waited for the lean stall owner to consider it.

"Alright! Deal! This item is yours now."

After much deliberation, the lean stall owner decided to sell the item and secure his profits.

If this alchemy furnace is truly a treasure, its true value can probably only be appraised by a cultivator above the Foundation Establishment stage. Even if it is a genuine treasure, he couldn't protect it; he might even be silenced. Selling it like this wouldn't be bad.

If it were just an ordinary alchemy furnace, he would probably find it difficult to find anyone interested in it again, and he would be stuck with it.

After the money and goods were settled, Lu Yao held the alchemy furnace and the formula in his hands, a glint of inspiration flashing in his eyes.

Item: Black Mystic Furnace

Rank: Initial Grade of Profound Level (Incomplete Magic Treasure)

Status: The array pattern is damaged and its function is disabled.

Function: Increases the success rate and quantity of pills produced.

Description: The natal magic weapon of a Core Formation stage alchemist. After his death, the magic weapon was damaged by external forces, and its power was reduced to less than one-tenth.

……

Item: Moonflower Elixir Recipe

Contents: The main ingredient is the inner core of a second-tier water or ice attribute monster, combined with Moonlight Grass, Flowing Firefly Flower, etc.

Effect: Increases water and ice magic power.

Item: Longyang Dandan Recipe

Contents: The main ingredient is the inner core of a dragon-type demon beast, combined with snake-like herbs, aphrodisiac roots...

Effect: Requires use in conjunction with dual cultivation techniques to enhance the effect of yin-yang harmony.

The alchemy furnace is a valuable item. Although it is damaged, its core is still intact. It can be repaired using the principles of formations, and restoring its magical power is not difficult.

These two pill formulas are rare and exquisite. The Dragon Yang Pill is a special pill without any grade distinction, and it will also be useful to Lu Yao. However, the effects will differ depending on the grade of the demon beast's inner core.

The Moon Essence Pill is a Foundation Establishment level pill, so it's useless to Lu Yao. He prepared it for Lü Su and the other girls, since their cultivation is still in the Qi Refining stage. Diluting the pill would make it a good high-quality pill to improve their cultivation and mana.

This harvest is arguably the biggest one I've made in the past ten days.

He had previously purchased materials and medicinal herbs for forging his natal magic weapon and was stockpiling them.

We're still missing half the materials for our natal magic weapon, but we've already found several of them on Kui Xing Island, all of which are things we can't find in Yue Kingdom.
