Chapter 517 Yama Cauldron
The few monks who witnessed the battle reported the result back to Dancheng.
For a time, the whole city was in an uproar.
Beforehand, almost no one was optimistic about Han Xu, but according to the monks who reported the news, Han Xu won very easily, and it seemed that he still had strength left after the battle.
In other words, Han Xu's strength was not at the same level as the Zhuo Qing brothers.
"No wonder he can become a Taoist son, he is indeed quite capable."
Because of this battle, Han Xu's name also spread in Dancheng. Everyone knew about the bet between him and Kunlun, and they all knew that he came to Dancheng and his goal was Yaowang Valley.
"Although Han Xu is quite powerful, it is unlikely that he can win the championship in the Danhui and obtain the Danwang Order." In Dancheng, people can be heard talking about Han Xu in many places.
It has been a long time since Tianxuan Realm has seen a person as full of topics as Han Xu.
However, although this battle allowed everyone to see Han Xu's strength, most people still did not think he could stand out in the Danhui. After all, the Danhui is not a test of fighting, but alchemy.
In all the existing information about Han Xu, there is no mention that he has a talent for alchemy, nor has he ever made elixirs in any place.
Alchemy requires a lot of time to practice more than cultivation, and it is necessary to summarize experience through repeated failures. It requires not only a lot of time, but also a lot of resources.
Han Xu came from the resource-poor lower world. Even if he started practicing alchemy from birth, he could not be stronger than the alchemists in the upper world. He was already far behind at the starting line.
In addition to those who were pessimistic about Han Xu, some cultivators also expressed sympathy for Han Xu.
It was no secret that Han Xu went to Yaowang Valley to seek a way to treat his fiancée. After coming to the vast world of the upper world, he could still stay with his wife in the lower world and go to Yaowang Valley in person despite the risk of being captured by Kunlun. Such a passionate person is very rare in this world where interests are the most important.
Many people admire Han Xu, because they don’t want to be like Han Xu, but they are forced by reality to forget their original intentions.
Especially some young female monks, they sympathized with Han Xu's experience even more. In their mouths, it seemed that a love story that was worth singing and crying had already formed, and there were many different versions.
In their stories, Kunlun became a villain who broke up the couple, which was unexpected for Kunlun and Han Xu.
Now the whole city was discussing and paying attention to Han Xu's affairs, and no one noticed that something happened to Danwang Palace, the overlord of Dancheng.
Danwang Palace sent many people to investigate secretly. It was said that someone broke into the upper level of Danwang Palace, knocked out Elder Wang Changping, and robbed the Nine Life Grass that Wang Changping had tried so hard to find and was going to offer to Baili Yuntao.
But there was one thing that was very puzzling. Wang Changping always said that he saw the person who broke into Danwang Palace and attacked him. He was a handsome boy, but he couldn't remember the specific appearance of the boy.
Because this matter is too incredible, if Wang Changping is not lying, then someone really went straight up to see Baili Yuntao without alarming anyone. If this person is an assassin, then Baili Yuntao is in danger at any time.
If it is spread out, it will simply be a slap in the face of the Danwang Palace, so the Danwang Palace was very low-key when investigating this matter and did not release the news.
In a shop, Han Xu disguised himself with Qianmian and was staring at the medicine cauldron in the shop.
In order to avoid trouble, he simply changed his appearance with Qianmian so that he would not have to worry about being recognized.
"Sir, take a look. The medicine cauldron in our shop is famous for its high quality." The shopkeeper greeted Han Xu enthusiastically because he saw a bulging purse hanging around Han Xu's waist.
The day after tomorrow is the Danhui. If Han Xu wants to refine medicine, he must first have a medicine cauldron. Although the best quality medicine cauldron is definitely sold in the Danwang Palace, Han Xu has just done something wrong in the Danwang Palace. For the sake of safety, he should not rush there.
So, he found this medicine cauldron shop which has a good reputation in Dancheng. It is said that the medicine cauldrons here are all made by the master of refining instruments, and they can withstand even the burning of strange fire.
"Sir, please take a look at this double dragon cauldron." Seeing Han Xu's wandering eyes, the shopkeeper took the initiative to recommend a medicine cauldron.
Han Xu took a look and said, "Two mouths?"
It turned out that this medicine cauldron had only two fire mouths, which was the most basic medicine cauldron and was only suitable for beginners who had just started alchemy.
The more fire mouths there were, the more complex the structure inside the medicine cauldron, and the more precise the control of the flames. Many high-level elixirs required almost harsh control of the flames. It was almost impossible to refine high-level elixirs with a medicine cauldron with two fire mouths, not to mention winning the championship of the alchemy competition.
The shopkeeper looked at Han Xu's young face and thought that he had made a mistake. For an alchemist of Han Xu's age, it was very good to be able to use a medicine cauldron with two fire mouths well, and he still thought it was too little.
So, the shopkeeper walked directly to a four-mouth medicine cauldron and said, "Sir, don't misunderstand me. This Four Seas Peace Cauldron is..."
"Too bad." Before the shopkeeper introduced it, Han Xu waved his hand and asked directly, "Shopkeeper, let's not waste time. Do you have a nine-mouth medicine cauldron?"
"Nine mouths?" The shopkeeper was surprised. A medicine cauldron with nine fire mouths is difficult to control even for a master of alchemy. If you can use a nine-mouth medicine cauldron perfectly, you will be honored as a worshiper no matter which sect you go to.
Even in the Danwang Palace, there are less than ten alchemists who can use nine-mouth medicine cauldrons perfectly.
The shopkeeper subconsciously thought that Han Xu was just trying to show off.
He said, "There are nine-mouth ones, but they are very expensive."
"How expensive can they be?" Han Xu didn't care much about the price. As a Taoist, he had enough spiritual stones to spend.
The shopkeeper was also a man who had seen countless people. Seeing Han Xu say this, he took him directly to the inner room and took out a large black tripod from his storage ring. Around the tripod, nine lifelike dragons climbed, with the dragon heads facing outward, and there were nine fire mouths.
As soon as this tripod was released, Han Xu felt a strong smell of herbs, which was normal, but there was actually a pressure coming out of the medicine tripod, which was very rare.
The shopkeeper said, "This tripod is called Yan Mo, and it is forged from basalt collected from the crater of a thousand-year-old volcano. Although it is not one of the top ten tripods in the world, it can also be ranked among the top quality."
"Not bad." Han Xu looked around the Yan Mo tripod and felt very satisfied.
"It's not a matter of how many spirit stones you have, it's just that this tripod is very difficult to control. If you can control it, I'm willing to sell it at cost."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a ball of strange fire that he had never seen before rising from Han Xu's palm.
The strange fire was divided into nine identical parts and injected into nine fire ports at the same time. Suddenly, the Yama Tripod lit up with fire, and a series of devil faces appeared on the dark surface.
"It's you."
Seeing this, the shopkeeper no longer dared to look down on Han Xu. He bowed respectfully and said, "I didn't expect that you, at such a young age, have such a cultivation. You are really a genius. This tripod is sold to you at cost price, 50,000 high-grade spirit stones."
