Chapter 104 Granting You an Opportunity

The latest chapter of "《" has been updated, come and catch up!

In an instant.

A crimson halo tinged with earthy yellow spread out, raising the temperature in the quiet room by a few degrees.

Inside the brocade box lay a three-legged, two-eared alchemy furnace, its entire body carved from some kind of crimson jade.

The furnace body is no bigger than a fist, but its shape is simple and heavy.

The furnace wall has naturally formed patterns that resemble flowing magma from the earth's veins, with a faint glow emanating from it.

The furnace lid was tightly closed, yet one could almost hear the low hum of subterranean fire inside.

It is a low-grade earth-level alchemy furnace, the Earth Core Flame Jade Cauldron.

"Senior, please take a look. This cauldron is made primarily of ten-thousand-year-old Earth Core Flame Jade Marrow, supplemented with various fire and earth attribute spiritual materials. It was crafted by a master craftsman who spent three years of painstaking effort."

"Not only is it heat resistant, but it can also greatly improve the utilization rate of earth fire, infant fire and even higher-level flames. Its jade quality itself can also have mild medicinal properties, reduce violent factors during alchemy, and improve the success rate and quality of pills."

Hongyu introduced them as if they were her own treasures.

Zhou Tian opened his eyes, his gaze falling on the alchemy furnace, and his Golden Eyes of Truth flashed almost imperceptibly.

The material of the furnace body, the array runes inside, and even some minor crafting flaws were all reflected in his eyes.

Overall, this alchemy furnace is indeed of good quality.

The assessment of being a lower-grade Earth-level weapon is fair, and it's sufficient for him at this stage.

"good."

Zhou Tian gave a brief evaluation.

Upon hearing this, Hongyu's face lit up with a smile, and she answered without hesitation.

"It is an honor for this cauldron to have won your favor, senior. Therefore, I present it to you in the hope that it will help you reach even greater heights in your alchemy!"

Another freebie?

Zhou Tian glanced at Hongyu; this woman was certainly willing to spend money.

However, the value of a Grade 1 alchemy furnace is far greater than that of the herbs mentioned earlier.

This "good karma" has become quite heavy.

"A Grade Earth-level alchemy furnace is quite valuable. Won't the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion object to your actions?"

Zhou Tian asked calmly.

Hongyu felt a chill run down her spine, knowing that her senior was pointing her out and giving her a chance to explain.

Her expression became even more respectful, and she spoke in a low voice.

"I dare not deceive you, senior. As the chief auctioneer of the Qingzhou branch, I also manage a portion of the inventory and have certain authority."

"Although this cauldron is precious, if we can use it to befriend someone like you, the Pavilion Master will only praise my actions. Besides... it is an honor for us to have you here today."

That was a beautifully said statement, demonstrating sincerity and also elevating Zhou Tian's reputation.

He even implied that he had the authority to handle the situation and would not cause any trouble.

Zhou Tian understood.

He said no more and gestured with his hand.

The Earth Core Flame Jade Cauldron flew out of the brocade box and landed in his palm.

Then it rotated slightly and was immediately stored in a storage ring.

"I have noted your kindness."

Zhou Tian stood up, his tone still calm.

But to Hongyu, those words sounded like celestial music.

She knew that this investment was worthwhile!

"You flatter me, senior. This is simply my duty as a junior."

"Is there anything else you need, senior? We will do our best to meet your needs."

Hongyu suppressed her excitement and bowed.

Zhou Tian shook his head upon hearing this, then looked at Liu Mei.

"Go wait outside first."

"Yes, Master."

Liu Mei nodded vigorously.

Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately bowed and left the quiet room, gently closing the door behind him.

She knew that her master's actions had profound meaning, and it was not something she could ask too many questions about.

"Squeak!"

After the soft click of the door closing.

The quiet room was suddenly left with only Zhou Tian, ​​Hong Yu, and Xue Fei.

The faint medicinal fragrance in the air seemed to stagnate, and the atmosphere became subtle and tense.

Hongyu looked at the unfathomable senior in blue robes before her, and her heart tightened for no reason.

She forced herself to remain calm, and her face once again displayed that professional and charming smile.

But there was a hint of barely perceptible unease in that smile.

"Your Excellency..."

"Is there anything else you need? As long as Tianbao Pavilion has it, Hongyu will do her utmost to find it for you."

Hongyu's voice was much softer than usual, carrying a hint of nervousness that she herself was unaware of.

Xuefei, who was standing to the side, nodded quickly.

"Yes...yes, senior, Xuefei is also willing to serve you."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian shook his head again.

His gaze swept calmly over the two women, his eyes as deep and unfathomable as an ancient well.

It was as if they could see through the most subtle fluctuations in their hearts.

"I have confiscated your medicinal herbs and alchemy furnace today."

"Although you offered it voluntarily, intending to establish a good relationship, I have never liked to take advantage of others without doing so."

Zhou Tian spoke, his voice flat and emotionless.

Zhou Tian then paused, his gaze lingering for a moment on Hongyu's beautiful face and Xuefei's aloof countenance.

"Therefore, I am prepared to give you two an opportunity."

"Opportunity?"

Hongyu and Xuefei were both stunned for a moment, then their beautiful eyes lit up with unbelievable surprise.

An opportunity bestowed by a powerful being in the Void Refinement stage!

This is like a windfall!

No, it's a destiny with the gods!

This is something that cultivators like them wouldn't even dare to dream of!

"Your Mightiness!"

"Hongyu will do as you please! Whatever it is, Hongyu will be willing!"

Hongyu's voice changed from excitement.

Without hesitation, she bowed deeply, almost bending her slender figure into a...
