Chapter 103: Exchange of Perception
After returning to his residence, Fang Tiannan couldn't help but calm down and focus all his attention on the Upper Dantian within himself. The "True Scripture of Refining Dan" seemed to have "disappeared" during this period, bringing no benefits to Fang Tiannan. Only when Fang Tiannan came into contact with dan medicine or objects related to it would some evaluations of these objects appear in his mind.
If it were said that Fang Tiannan went to the free trade market alone today, Fang Tiannan would have been careful and verified his own conjecture, who knows, he might have exchanged a lot of good things. However, with Xiao Ruo and Di Jianming following him, Fang Tiannan couldn't show off too much.
Who doesn't know that Fang Tiannan is a person without any background, completely relying on his own efforts to gradually become an outer disciple? If Fang Tiannan suddenly performs extremely well in identifying Dan medicine and herbal medicine in the trading market, it will undoubtedly attract more attention and suspicion.
Free trade markets aren't just open for one or two days, and there's more than one in the Qingyun Sect. Fang Tian Nan can try his luck later, he has plenty of opportunities, no need to rush.
However, apart from this special ability, Fang Tiannan did not find that the "True Scripture of Alchemy" could bring him any other abilities. Fang Tiannan thought that it was because his current strength and realm were too low. If he could break through to the Human Yuan Realm as soon as possible, then he would have another chance to take a look at the "True Scripture of Alchemy".
As for the scenery inside the lower Dan Tian, Fang Tian Nan would explore it every day during his cultivation.
So, after a moment of frustration in front of the "True Scripture of Alchemy", Fang Tiannan focused his mind on the middle dantian once again. Outside the boundary, the powers of the two demonic beasts continued to operate autonomously, and Fang Tiannan couldn't intervene. Inside the boundary, the first thing Fang Tiannan noticed was that about a dozen light source stones were safe and sound. In addition, among the three things he had originally stored in the hidden compartment of his residence, when he suddenly saw the fourth-grade Ice Cold Xuan Iron, Fang Tiannan's mind suddenly thought of Mu Caiyi.
Perhaps tomorrow I'll use this piece of Ice Cold Xuan Iron as a gift, and that can be considered as making up for the guilt of learning how to cultivate my sensory powers from him.
Then, excluding the three bottles of elixirs obtained from the Transmission Cave Heaven and some miscellaneous items that Fang Tian Nan had recently put in, what was left were the alchemy furnaces obtained from within the Transmission Cave Heaven.
。。。。。。
The alchemy furnace has a small and exquisite shape, with a simple and elegant color.
It can be said that this is the first time Fang Tiannan has carefully observed everything on the alchemy furnace. Every knife carving, every detail, Fang Tiannan carefully observed past. The entire alchemy furnace was naturally formed, giving Fang Tiannan a feeling of being able to appreciate from afar but not dare to touch.
Inside the alchemy furnace, Fang Tian Nan had never opened it before.
It's really that Fang Tiannan can't refine the elixir. Especially one sentence in "The True Scripture of Refining Elixirs": Cultivate your spiritual consciousness, then refine the elixir. Every time Fang Tiannan looked at the refining furnace, he could only satisfy his curiosity. However, after Wu You's reminder today, Fang Tiannan somehow suddenly took out the refining furnace from the boundary board and placed it in front of him.
"Could there be some elixirs inside?" Fang Tian Nan's first thought was of the three bottles of elixirs from the Transmission Cave Heaven. Although, for the current Fang Tian Nan, these three bottles of elixirs were only of the lowest grade, and he could only take one pill at a time, with a very long interval in between. However, the effect of the elixirs was absolutely something that made Fang Tian Nan delighted and others envious. If there really were some elixirs hidden inside this alchemy furnace, it would be the best thing for Fang Tian Nan.
"Let's open it and try first." Fang Tian Nan said to himself.
Just as Fang Tiannan's hand was about to lift the lid of the alchemy furnace, he suddenly felt a strange power emanating from it. To be precise, it came from the top of the alchemy furnace. This power was not strong and was very gentle. However, it had an obvious intention of stopping Fang Tiannan's action.
"Huh?" At this point, Fang Tian Nan was actually somewhat interested.
However, no matter what means Fang Tiannan used to try and break through the protective circle formed by the sudden appearance of power, he was unable to do so. In other words, Fang Tiannan's hands were completely unable to touch the lid of the alchemy furnace. Even when Fang Tiannan wrapped his arms around both sides of the alchemy furnace and flipped it over entirely, the lid on top showed no signs of "leaving" its position.
"How sinister is this?" Fang Tian Nan refused to give up, and he operated the energy in his body to desperately resist this force. He even used the power of Yang liquid to try to lift the lid of the alchemy furnace, but ultimately failed. This also made Fang Tian Nan further confirm that there must be something special inside this alchemy furnace.
Fang Tiannan had thought that this was just an inherited alchemy furnace all along. Unexpectedly, there was actually a mysterious space inside. This was indeed good news for Fang Tiannan. However, knowing that there were secrets inside but being unable to open it made Fang Tiannan somewhat anxious.
This won't be like that "Taoist Alchemy Classic" where you need to reach a certain level of power to meet the conditions for "opening" it, right?
Fang Tian Nan couldn't help but feel speechless.
In the end, Fang Tiannan didn't dare to force it and explode a drop of Yang liquid to temporarily boost his combat power to forcibly open the alchemy furnace. It wasn't that Fang Tiannan wasn't curious about the secrets inside, but he was afraid that forcing it open would damage the things inside. Besides, Fang Tiannan couldn't guarantee that even if he exploded Yang liquid, he could safely open it.
Faintly, Fang Tian Nan felt that he had a strange feeling towards this gentle power guarding the alchemy furnace.
。。。。。。
The next day, Fang Tian Nan naturally came alone to the free trade market. Because the market day had just passed, there were fewer people on the trading floor than when Fang Tian Nan first came here.
Fang Tian Nan didn't have to think much and directly found Mu Caiyi.
It was still the same stall location as yesterday, and Mu Caiyi was still wearing the same outfit as yesterday. No, to be precise, every time Fang Tiannan saw Mu Caiyi, she was almost always wearing this same set of clothes, plus a black veil covering her face. For a moment, Fang Tiannan didn't know what to say.
Mù Cǎi Yī merely glanced at Fang Tiān Nán's arrival and then began to pack up the stall in front of her.
It wasn't until now that Fang Tian Nan noticed the stall in front of Mu Caiyi, the items on display seemed to have all been replaced compared to yesterday. The only thing that remained unchanged was the six big words "Exchange for Ice Cold Xuan Iron".
"You're here quite early." Mu Caiyi said to Fang Tian Nan after she finished packing up.
"I'm not very excited, I was looking forward to it..." Fang Tian Nan smiled wryly. It seemed that the other party wasn't eager to meet him so early after all. But thinking about it again, it made sense. If Mu Caiyi had guessed a step ahead of time that Fang Tian Nan would come so early, she might not have set up her stall at all, and could have saved herself the trouble of cleaning up afterwards.
"Let's go." Mu Caiyi put all the things into a wooden box and stood up, walking towards the outer edge of the trading market. Fang Tian Nan could only follow her step by step. Just as Fang Tian Nan was muttering to himself, wondering if Mu Caiyi would carry the box and communicate with him or take him directly to her residence, Mu Caiyi arrived at the entrance of the free trade market and handed the wooden box to a law enforcement disciple, then took another step forward.
Subconsciously, Fang Tiannan wanted to follow up.
Just at this moment, Fang Tiannan felt a hint of danger, and the foot that had stepped out was immediately withdrawn. Fang Tiannan first looked at Mu Caiyi in surprise, then saw that the people around him were almost without any abnormal expressions, and finally confirmed that Mu Caiyi's perception was directed at himself.
At this time, Fang Tian Nan also unfolded his own perception without hesitation.
The two exchanged a brief glance. Mu Caiyi suddenly turned back, giving Fang Tian Nan a faint smile: "Keep up!"
That fleeting glance, although unable to see the other's clear face clearly, was enough to make Fang Tiannan feel a sense of stunning beauty. And when he thought of Gu Yanruo's elegant and refined appearance, suddenly, Fang Tiannan had a brand new understanding of the phrase "Ice and Fire Twin Beauties".
Perhaps this is not just referring to Gu Yanruo and Mu Caiyi's strength, but also describing the two people's appearance!
