The Book Soul Chronicles: Godslayer

It took Ye Qingyang a great deal of effort to recover from his shock. He wondered to himself, "My luck lately has been too strange. Why do I keep running into such bizarre things? And they're all good things! This is just too much luck..." This extraordinary good fortune made him uneasy and restless.

Ye Qingyang knew perfectly well that there was no such thing as a free lunch! If someone else had given him these things, he would have accepted them without hesitation, but if it was a gift from Hu An, he might have been able to accept it without worry.

However, he urgently needed a cave dwelling to cultivate in seclusion, and it just so happened that such a perfect cave dwelling with so many freebies appeared here. It was simply unbelievable! All of this seemed so unreal, as if it were a dream.

Ye Qingyang took a few deep breaths, trying to calm his restless heart. After his emotions had calmed down a bit, he carefully probed his spiritual sense into the spatial bag again, and began to examine the items inside with complete concentration and meticulous attention.

When Ye Qingyang's gaze fell upon the pile of colorful and oddly shaped bottles and jars, his eyes immediately brightened.

These bottles and jars were covered with all sorts of labels. Ye Qingyang took a closer look and saw that they were labeled with words such as "Rejuvenation Pill", "Bigu Pill", and "Qi Gathering Pill".

Upon seeing this, Ye Qingyang couldn't help but feel a surge of joy—although these weren't extremely precious or rare pills, he was a penniless wretch who desperately needed them!

Not only that, but their quality is also quite high! The Rejuvenation Pill has miraculous healing effects and can cure those who are seriously injured; the Bigu Pill allows people to go without food for a long time, avoiding the impact of hunger on cultivation progress; as for the Qi Gathering Pill, it is even more powerful, as it can greatly accelerate the rate at which cultivators gather spiritual energy!

Ye Qingyang was overjoyed. He knew the preciousness and importance of these pills. If he could make full use of them, his cultivation would surely advance by leaps and bounds. Moreover, he understood that these pills were indispensable for a cultivator, playing a crucial role whether venturing out for training or dealing with various crises.

Just as Ye Qingyang was immersed in joy, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a small object behind a pile of bottles and jars. A sense of curiosity arose within him, and he murmured, "What's that?" So, he carefully walked around the bottles and jars, approaching them to examine it closely.

Upon seeing the object clearly, Ye Qingyang's eyes lit up. It turned out to be an extremely small and exquisite alchemy furnace! It was only the size of a palm, yet incredibly delicate, covered with mysterious runes and patterns. A surge of intense curiosity welled up within Ye Qingyang, and he couldn't resist reaching out to touch this adorable little furnace.

Just then, a miracle occurred! With a slight thought, Ye Qingyang saw the alchemy furnace, which had been lying quietly on the ground, suddenly fly into his hand as if it had come to life. Ye Qingyang was so astonished that he couldn't close his mouth. He had never imagined that this alchemy furnace could be so magical, as if it had some special connection with him.

Ye Qingyang held the miniature alchemy furnace in his hands, examining it closely. This miniature furnace was so exquisitely crafted that it was irresistible. Looking at the small cauldron before him, Ye Qingyang's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the Floating Life Cauldron he had previously acquired—because the two furnaces were practically identical in structure!

This small alchemy furnace is cast entirely in bronze, its surface gleaming with a faint bronze luster, as if it has been refined and aged over the years. The furnace is round in shape, with beautiful and smooth lines, captivating the eye like a meticulously crafted work of art; its round and lovely shape gives it a sense of intimacy, as if it were not just a cold, lifeless object, but rather a vibrant and lively vessel with life and soul.

The top of the alchemy furnace has a small, exquisite opening, allowing for the convenient addition of various precious herbs and the constant monitoring of the refining process. Around the furnace are intricately carved patterns: some are obscure and mysterious ancient runes, others are strangely shaped mythical beasts seemingly leaping off the surface, and still others are ancient and profound tribal totems… These exquisite and meaningful patterns not only add an air of mystery to the furnace but also make it appear even more solemn, dignified, and profoundly significant!

In addition, there are several tiny holes distributed on the furnace body. Perhaps it is through these holes that the key factors such as airflow and temperature inside the furnace can be precisely controlled to ensure the success rate of alchemy.

At the bottom of the alchemy furnace is a stable base made of sturdy material. This base is as solid as a rock, and its surface is intricately carved with mysterious and unpredictable patterns. These patterns are complex and intertwined, like ancient runes, complementing the decorations on the furnace body and exuding a chilling aura.

Although the miniature alchemy furnace is small and exquisite in size, its craftsmanship is extremely refined. From the lines and contours of the furnace to the intricate carvings, every detail showcases the maker's unique ingenuity and extraordinary skill. Close inspection reveals that every corner of the furnace has been meticulously crafted, without the slightest flaw.

This exquisitely crafted alchemy furnace is more than just a pleasing decorative object; it seems to possess a mysterious power. When people gaze upon it, the images of legendary alchemists from ancient times inevitably come to mind. The scenes of them, deep in the mountains and valleys, drawing upon the essence of heaven and earth, and employing magical arts to refine elixirs and elixirs of immortality appear vividly before their eyes.

"This does look like a pill furnace, but logically speaking, it should be able to change size! After all, how can it be used for pill refining if it always stays this small?" Ye Qingyang said with a puzzlement.

Ye Qingyang pondered for a moment, then gently tossed the alchemy furnace upwards. The furnace hovered in mid-air, emitting rays of spiritual light. He then performed a hand seal, channeling a stream of spiritual energy into the furnace.

In an instant, the originally small and exquisite alchemy furnace rapidly became enormous, standing in place like a mountain.

However, what truly surprised Ye Qingyang was not the change in the size of the alchemy furnace, but that the top of the furnace opened automatically, and then rows of shelves filled with various precious herbs flew out of the furnace like birds leaving their cages.

The scene before him left Ye Qingyang speechless, and a bold guess arose in his mind: "Could it be that this roof is actually an independent space? How could it hold so many rare medicinal herbs!"

Filled with doubt and anticipation, Ye Qingyang cautiously probed the interior with his divine sense. As expected, he discovered a mysterious space within. Although relatively small, it was spacious enough to store the vast quantity of medicinal herbs. Furthermore, the inner walls of the alchemy furnace were inscribed with countless ancient runes.

Just as Ye Qingyang was carefully examining the runes, a passage suddenly appeared in his mind—"This cauldron is called the Divine Wood Spirit Flame Furnace, ranking among the eighth-grade alchemy furnaces. It was forged in imitation of the ancient divine artifact, the Floating Life Cauldron. Unfortunately, its power is less than one-tenth of the original Floating Life Cauldron."

Ye Qingyang frowned, his heart filled with astonishment. He never expected that the cauldron before him was actually a replica of the Floating Life Cauldron!

No wonder they look so similar; they both have the amazing ability to freely scale in size. Such exquisite craftsmanship is truly astonishing.

"Such a powerful Grade 8 alchemy furnace can't even match one-tenth of the power of the Floating Life Cauldron? Then, what secrets does the Floating Life Cauldron hold?" Ye Qingyang couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but after only a moment, he understood.

Instead of racking your brains over these puzzles whose answers cannot be known immediately, it is better to invest your time and energy in understanding what you can do.

After all, this knowledge is more practical for oneself, and the things that one should know will eventually come to light, so there's no need to rush.
