Chapter 289: Seven Star Dan Furnace
Seeing Ji Yang take the Dan furnace, many of the cultivators present felt relieved.
The other alchemists had long been accustomed to their own furnaces, and switching to a new one felt awkward.
What they truly desired were the alchemy recipe and the ancient alchemy techniques. Although the ancient items might not be usable, they could provide inspiration and allow for the sharing of knowledge, helping them learn a great deal.
When Ji Yang took the furnace, Feng Yuan also felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, the young master did not make a foolish choice!
Elder Guan noticed and made no further comments. As an elder, he had seen many good things. These items might seem rare to other alchemists, but to a large sect like the Heaven Demon Sect, they were just ordinary.
In Elder Guan’s eyes, the Dan furnace Ji Yang chose was also commonplace, but that did not stop him from allowing Ji Yang to make his own decision.
Soon, the remaining alchemists also selected their items.
Once everyone had finished choosing, Elder Guan spoke a few more words and then disappeared, with Ren Yuning leaving alongside him.
“Uncle, should we recruit that Feng Yu?”
In the room, Ren Yuning asked.
She had noticed Elder Guan’s very kind attitude toward the young man. Based on his alchemy skills, it was clear that Elder Guan had that intention.
In response to Ren Yuning’s inquiry, Elder Guan did not hide it and slightly nodded:
“Indeed, though this child has some unusual techniques in alchemy, his talent is quite good. If we can bring him to the Heaven Demon Sect and cultivate him carefully, he might become a master alchemist for us!”
After hearing this, Ren Yuning took the initiative to say:
“Since that’s the case, why don’t you leave this matter to me?”
Elder Guan pondered for a moment before nodding:
“Very well, now that Ji Yang is still in the city, I need to focus all my attention on this matter, and I won’t have the time to handle much else.”
Seeing Elder Guan agree, a hint of joy flashed across Ren Yuning’s face.
Her original intention was to capture Ji Yang, but her magical artifacts had become ineffective, and relying on her own strength alone, it would be a challenge just to locate Ji Yang, let alone capture him.
Rather than wasting time in the city, it would be better to help the sect recruit Feng Yu.
The former was driven by vengeance, while the latter was aimed at bringing fresh blood into the sect. If Elder Guan valued this person, it surely indicated that his talent was good.
If this plan succeeded, it would count as a significant achievement.
However, capturing Ji Yang still remained Ren Yuning’s top priority in her heart.
But she understood that one person could hardly support everything; it would be better to first borrow the sect’s power. Once she found Ji Yang’s exact location, she could act then.
As the competition concluded, everyone gradually dispersed.
With the Seven Star Dan Furnace in hand, Ji Yang walked alongside Feng Yuan toward the inn.
Along the way, Feng Yuan appeared calm, showing little emotion, but deep in his eyes was an unmistakable joy.
Ji Yang naturally noticed Feng Yuan’s happiness, which made him feel curious.
When he took the Dan furnace, he had checked it and found nothing particularly special about it.
A high-quality Dan furnace clearly isn’t something that should warrant such an attitude from Feng Yuan; there must be a deeper secret behind it.
Before her death, Cui Jing had confirmed this point.
Once the two entered the inn and secured the doors and windows, Feng Yuan finally stopped hiding his excitement.
Then, Feng Yuan activated the shielding formations within the room, and still feeling somewhat uneasy, he took out a formation disc and set up two more formations before he felt reassured.
Seeing Feng Yuan make such a big deal about it, Ji Yang looked on with some confusion.
Of course, this confusion was not entirely feigned.
“Master, quickly take out the Dan furnace left by our ancestors.”
After setting up the formations, Feng Yuan spoke eagerly.
Ji Yang then took out the Dan furnace, wanting to see what secrets it held.
Feng Yuan took the Dan furnace and examined it closely, lightly tapping and stroking it as if verifying something.
Soon, Feng Yuan exclaimed joyfully:
“Excellent, this is the Dan furnace! It really belonged to my ancestor!”
“Master, drop a drop of blood on the Dan furnace!”
Ji Yang furrowed his brows at this request, then slowly extended a finger, letting a drop of blood fall onto the Dan furnace.
As Ji Yang dripped blood, Feng Yuan’s expression grew serious.
Quickly, a drop of red blood landed on the Dan furnace, and instead of sliding off, the blood was mysteriously absorbed by the furnace.
Blood recognition of the owner? Ji Yang thought in surprise, but this idea quickly faded from his mind.
Compared to the physical body, primordial spirits were more stable. The old method of blood recognition had long been abandoned in the Cultivation World; the primordial spirit mark had become the mainstream.
As the blood entered the Dan furnace, the previously unadorned furnace suddenly radiated brilliance; its outer wall began to shatter like a shell, revealing its true form.
The original Seven Star Dan Furnace took on an ancient bronze color, marked with the symbol of seven stars.
Now, the Seven Star Dan Furnace displayed a light black color, with the seven-star symbol seemingly existing within the furnace, rather than on its surface.
Seeing this scene, Feng Yuan exclaimed in delight:
“Ancestor does not deceive me! Our Feng family’s Seven Star Dan Furnace is truly a supreme Dan furnace!”
Noticing Ji Yang still looked bewildered, Feng Yuan explained:
“Master, this Dan furnace was our Feng family’s clan treasure, using this furnace for alchemy not only saves time but significantly improves the quality of pills. If used at night, it can even harness the power of the stars, greatly enhancing the effects of the pills produced.”
“However, back when our family was weak, the ancestor feared that possessing such a treasure would lead to disaster and sealed the furnace away, only to be unsealed by someone of the Feng bloodline. Now that you have found it, it truly is a blessing for our Feng family!”
Listening to Feng Yuan’s introduction, Ji Yang’s gaze sharpened, and he said in astonishment:
“Such wonderful effects!”
Though his words expressed wonder, Ji Yang remained calm and composed inside.
He had expected something significantly powerful, yet it turned out to be just a Dan furnace.
As for the various alchemical effects Feng Yuan had mentioned, were they useful to him? Yes, somewhat, but not enough to excite Ji Yang!
At this moment, Ji Yang understood why Feng Yuan had him drip blood earlier; it was because it needed the Feng bloodline.
Fortunately, during his previous sealing arrangements, he had prepared in advance and taken some of Feng Yu’s blood, otherwise, he would have truly revealed his secrets.
Then it seemed he would also need to resolve Feng Yuan!
As for the process, it involved using illusions to deceive the middle-aged man in the fixed-point object, tricking Feng Yuan in front of him.
Feng Yuan was unaware of the changes in Ji Yang’s heart and continued happily:
“With this Dan furnace, Master’s alchemy skills will surely improve, and our Feng family will have a place in the Cultivation World! We won’t just depend on the Dan Ding Sect!”
At this point, Feng Yuan’s face showed a hint of shame.
“By the way, Master, this Dan furnace is used for much more than that; it’s not just a supreme Dan furnace, but it’s also the only key to open my ancestor’s tomb!”
