Amongst the four Cauldrons on the wooden table, there was a plain looking Alchemy Cauldron that attracted Luo Cheng's attention.
The Alchemy Cauldron stood on three legs and there were two vivid and life like, dragons entrenched together on its body. One of them was red colored and the other azure. The handicraft of the person who made this Cauldron was very good and the carving of the dragons was extremely expressive. It looked like it was about to come to life.
Luo Cheng held it in his hands and played around with it a little, eventually asking. "Can i give this Alchemy Cauldron a test run?"
Murong Feixue was a little shocked in her heart, could he be an alchemist? Was this Alchemy Cauldron for his own use? It looked like her earlier assumption might be wrong. Without changing her expression, she said, "No problem, please go ahead."
Luo Cheng placed the Alchemy Cauldron on the table and used his consciousness to condense his True Fire, a ball of white flames appeared on his right hand. He slowly pushed the flame down the Cauldron and carefully controlled the white flames to enter the Alchemy Cauldron. When it completely entered the Cauldron, he released his control and let the white flames burn ferociously.
Luo Cheng carefully observed the Alchemy Cauldron. Under the heat of the True Fire, the Alchemy Cauldron did not experience any changes. Its saturated Qi was still incomparable like before. After letting the white flame burn for awhile, Luo Cheng could feel his Qi diminishing. He hurriedly retrieved the white flame and calmed the fluctuations of Qi in his body.
Luo Cheng picked up the Alchemy Cauldron and took a closer look, the outside of the Alchemy Cauldron was not hot. After he opened the Cauldron lid, a stream of hot air came out. He lightly sniffed the inside of the Cauldron, the air in there was dry and pleasant, there was no strange odours.
Luo Cheng felt incomparably amazed in his heart, this was exactly what he needed. If he only needed an ordinary Alchemy Cauldron, then there were available in the Leng Mansion. It was a pity that under the refinement of his True Fire, those ordinary Alchemy Cauldron would start to develop cracks after a short while. Those Cauldrons were just not suitable for refining Alchemy Pills.
He had not held much hope when he came to the Myriad Dao Pavilion, thus, he had only brought a thousand mid grade spirit stones with him. He did not expect to be able to find a Cauldron to his liking in the Myriad Dao Pavilion.
Luo Cheng smiled, "Miss Murong, i wonder how much you want for this Alchemy Cauldron?
Murong Feixue picked up the Alchemy Cauldron and played with it in her hands, she did not give Luo Cheng a direct answer, "Alchemists are one of the most respected professions in the Great Thousand World. Undeniably, a top quality Alchemy Cauldron is not the most important thing to an alchemist. Alchemy Cauldrons are classified into five grades, does Young Lord Cheng know about this?"
There were definitely differences in the quality of Alchemy Cauldrons, and Luo Cheng knew about the grades of Alchemy Cauldrons.
He nodded his head and said, "Yes Miss Murong, i happen to know about the grades of Alchemy Cauldrons. They are classified into five grades (Mortal, Earth, Spirit, Sky and Heaven grade).
"This is a work at the peak of Earth Grade. If you can find a high level blacksmith to infuse it with a soul, then it can immediately become a Spirit Cauldron." Murong Feixue said unhurriedly, looking at Luo Cheng without blinking.
Luo Cheng acknowledged what she said with a nod. He would not be able to afford the price of this Alchemy Cauldron even if he scrounged together every piece of spirit stones the previous owner of this body had accumulated over time.
However, Luo Cheng was unresigned and pushed for the envelope. "I wonder what it would take for Miss Murong to be willing to part with this Alchemy Cauldron?"
Murong Feixue took the Alchemy Cauldron and tossed it around, a trace of wit flitting across her face as she smiled, "If Young Lord Cheng is truly interested, then how about i give it to you as a gift?"
As a gift? Luo Cheng was surprised, but he quickly reacted mentally, how could there be such a good thing in this world? Luo Cheng smiled embarrassedly.
"Miss Murong, please stop teasing me, just state your price. I may not have much money on hand, but i believe that i should still be able to afford this Alchemy Cauldron."
Murong Feixue smiled. "Are you really able to afford it? A peak Mortal Grade Alchemy Cauldron would require a few thousand mid grade Spirit Stones. And as for this peak Earth Grade Alchemy Cauldron, it would be impossible to purchase this without tens of thousands of mid grade Spirit Stones."
Luo Cheng frowned. Tens of thousands of mid grade Spirit Stones was nothing to the Leng Mansion, but it was not a small sum either. Would the Leng Mansion spend such an amount on him? It was hard to say.
Actually, if she wanted to sell this peak Earth Grade Alchemy Cauldron, she could even sell it for a million mid grade Spirit Stones at an auction. This peak Earth Grade Alchemy Cauldron could possibly be the best Alchemy Cauldron most alchemist would be able to use in their entire life.
People with the alchemist occupation were also a rare sight in the Heaven Desolate Region. It could be said that most alchemist was the result of a clans heavy investment. They had no mind to be frugal with their money, considering it perfectly normal to spend a fortune in order to purchase a quality Alchemy Cauldron.
Even though it was such, when Luo Cheng heard Murong Feixue's words, he felt uncomfortable. Luo Cheng smiled coldly, "Miss Murong, it seems you've already decided for yourself that i, Luo Cheng cannot afford such a luxurious item isn't it?"
Murong Feixue's smile froze. Realizing that the tone of her words was inappropriate, she hurriedly added, "Young Lord Cheng, you misunderstand me. You can have this Alchemy Cauldron right away! If Young Lord Cheng does not have enough Spirit Stones, you can just write a promissory note."
Luo Cheng reached out for the totem on the left side of his chest, and took one of the 3 purple spatial rings hanging on it. Placing the 8th Star High Class Demonic Beast Core into the spatial ring, he passed it to Murong Feixue. "Many thanks for Miss Murong's intentions, but there is no need for a promissory note. I wonder if this spatial ring and the High Class Demonic Beast Core are worth the price?"
Murong Feixue was taken by suprise. She picked up the items and inspected them carefully before smiling bitterly, "Young Lord Cheng, i truly have good intentions, are you not willing to accept this kindness of mine?"
Luo Cheng held the Alchemy Cauldron in his hands and promptly cupped them in a polite gesture signifying he was taking his leave, "Many thanks for Miss Murong's Alchemy Cauldron, goodbye!" After he said that, he turned to walk away without looking back.
Murong Feixue stared pensively at the items in her hand. A High Class Demonic Beast Core and a High quality spatial ring. This naturally covered the cost of her Alchemy Cauldron. Looking at Luo Chengs disappearing figure, Murong Feixue smiled gently," Luo Cheng, being someone who a seer like me can't see through, you really are more than meets the eye."
Unbeknownst as to when, but in a dark corner of the fourth floor the silhouette of a woman shrouded in the darkness appeared for a short moment then vanished. The appearance of this woman was quite abrupt, as though she had been there all along.
