Chapter 96: Nine Heavens Seal Treasure Refining Technique
"Hahahaha, you brat!"

Zhou Tian laughed loudly and stared at Zhang Qian for a while. Zhang Qian was not afraid and looked directly into Zhou Tian's scrutinizing gaze.

"Well, I agree to this deal, but let me make it clear first. Your spiritual power does not match the fire element, but the water and earth elements. It is very difficult to learn the way of alchemy and refining with this spiritual power. Unless you can find the divine fire and refine it into the divine flame of your life, your achievements in alchemy and refining will be limited."

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I don't have the ambition to become a master of alchemy or weapon refining."

"You know how to be content. Then follow me to Shuanglu Island. It's up to you to learn how much skills you can learn. Don't worry, I will not hide anything from you."

Hearing this, Zhang Qian glanced at Li Qingque, who nodded to him. Zhang Qian felt relieved. Li Qingque and Zhou Tian were senior and junior brothers and sisters, and he knew Zhou Tian's character very well. He was also relieved to let Zhang Qian go to Shuanglu Island.

"Senior Sister, let Yu Xuanji take care of Wanbao Pavilion first. I will live in Shuanglu Island during this period."

"Haha, let's go, I'll show you the elegance of Shuanglu Island."

Zhou Tian flicked his whisk and a red fire cloud rose up, carrying Zhang Qian and himself into the sky, flying straight towards Shuanglu Island.

Shuanglu Island was not far away, and in the blink of an eye, the two of them landed on Shuanglu Island.

Two alchemy furnaces that look like small mountains stand on the Shuanglu Island, and surrounding these two terrifying alchemy furnaces are exquisite palaces.

Directly opposite the two alchemy furnaces is a spacious hall that stretches for dozens of miles and has countless pavilions and towers.

Zhou Tian brought Zhang Qian to this hall. As soon as he entered the hall, Zhang Qian was attracted by the scene before him.

There are tens of thousands of alchemy furnaces placed in the endless hall. These furnaces are neatly arranged in the hall, forming nine straight lines that stretch to the back of the hall.

There were disciples from Shuanglu Island guarding each of these furnaces. Smoke of various shapes rose from the furnaces, and the aroma of medicine was so fragrant that Zhang Qian felt as if he had walked into a country of fragrance.

Walking up to an alchemy furnace and taking a closer look, Zhang Qian discovered that there was a fire vent at the bottom of these furnaces, which were about ten feet high. Red divine flames rose from the fire vent, burning the furnace belly above.

Zhou Tian saw Zhang Qian's surprised look and smiled complacently: "How is it? This hall is dedicated to alchemy. There are a total of 9,999 Xuanyin treasure-level alchemy furnaces. There is a large formation underground to gather the fire veins and divine fire. Even if the disciples themselves are not of the fire element, they can use the divine fire in the fire veins to refine various elixirs. Of course, if your own spiritual power is not of the fire element, it will be very difficult to go further in the way of alchemy."

"Nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine for the Xuanyin Pill Furnace?"

Zhang Qian was surprised. He used to think that Xuanyin's treasures were precious and rare, but the scene before him made him realize that Jianhu Palace was indeed an ancient sect. This terrifying background alone was enough to scare him.

"follow me!"

Following Zhou Tian through this extremely spacious hall and arriving at the back of the hall, Zhang Qian saw a huge square in front of him. The ground of the square was paved with an unknown divine gold that was so shiny that you could see through it. On this square, there were still thousands of alchemy furnaces.

These alchemy furnaces are different from the ones in the main hall. Each one is like a large cauldron. At this moment, the sound of metal clashing and clanging can be heard constantly from these furnaces.

From time to time, magical weapons with dazzling light flew out from the alchemy furnace and were collected by the disciples nearby using magic spells.

"This is a place dedicated to refining weapons. Your Ice Soul Mysterious Light Sword was refined here. All the standard magic weapons of our Sword Gourd Palace's true disciples are refined here."

"These alchemy furnaces?" Zhang Qian felt that the alchemy furnaces on the square seemed better than the alchemy furnaces used for alchemy in the main hall.

Zhou Tian stroked his beard and said, "The 9,999 alchemy furnaces used in these refining tools are all top-notch Xuanyin treasures. Our Jianhu Palace spent an unknown amount of time to refine these alchemy furnaces."

Zhang Qian exclaimed: "I didn't expect that our Jianhu Palace has such a heritage. It is worthy of being an ancient sect."

"Hahahaha, you've only just started. You don't know the true strengths of our Sword Gourd Palace. Don't be fooled by the terrifying strengths of my Shuanglu Island, but you haven't seen the Qiantian Fiery Fire Sect!"

"Qiantian Fiery Sect?"

Zhang Qian knew this name. When fighting for the treasure map fragments, Liu Qingqing, the leader of the Qiantian Liehuo Sect, was also involved.

"Yes, the Qiantian Liehuo Sect is the most powerful alchemy and weapon refining sect in Xingyun Province. It has become an eternal sect by refining alchemy and weapon refining. I have visited the Qiantian Liehuo Sect several times to exchange experiences. Well, compared with the Qiantian Liehuo Sect, my Shuanglu Island is just a country workshop and is not worth mentioning."

"how is this possible?"

Zhang Qian was a little skeptical.

Zhou Tian smiled and said, "There is an innate Tushita divine fire in the Qiantian Liehuo Sect. Legend has it that it was obtained from Zushenzhou, the place where Emperor Xi created the world. It is an innate divine fire left after Emperor Xi created the world. It has infinite uses. That's not all. Their sect's sacred mountain is an ancient volcano that has been burning for billions of years. There is not only a giant fire spirit vein in the volcano, but also a strange tribe of earth fire elves. This tribe is born with the ability to control the divine fire. These are not all. The key is that the Qiantian Liehuo Sect's treasure, the Qiantian Fire Spirit Pearl, can enhance the disciples' aptitude and understanding in refining pills and tools. As long as this treasure exists, the Qiantian Liehuo Sect will be able to prosper forever."

Zhang Qian was surprised and became extremely interested in the innate Tushita Divine Fire. If he was not mistaken, this Tushita Divine Fire was a true innate treasure, not an acquired one.

This is a bit unbelievable. After coming to the Xihuang world, this is the first time that Zhang Qian has heard of clues about the innate treasure.

Following Zhou Tian's lead, Zhang Qian finally understood Shuanglu Island clearly after more than an hour. The most important thing on Shuanglu Island is not the tens of thousands of Xuanyin Dan furnaces, but the two treasure furnaces that look like small mountains in the center of the island.

Both of these treasure furnaces are Pure Yang Alchemy Furnaces, and each of them is of Pure Yang treasure level and extremely magical.

Unfortunately, Zhang Qian could not get close to the two Pure Yang Alchemy Furnaces to take a closer look.

Then they followed Zhou Tian to a small and exquisite palace. This was Zhou Tian’s residence. There was a single fire vein buried inside, and the palace was surrounded by alchemy rooms and weapon refining rooms.

This is the place where Zhou Tian’s direct disciples practice.

"Room No. 7 has not been used so far. Here is the key to this room. Keep it safe. Since you want to learn the art of alchemy and refining from me, I will not hide anything from you."

Zhang Qian put away the key and handed over the treasure map fragment. Zhou Tian smiled slightly and was not in a hurry to study the refining techniques in the treasure map fragment. Instead, he took out a jade slip.

"This jade slip records the method of refining pills and tools of my Shuanglu Island lineage, which is called 'Nine Heavens Seal Treasure Refining Technique'. Although this treasure refining technique is far inferior to that of Qiantian Liehuo Sect, it is also a rare treasure refining method. Once you have learned this treasure refining technique, refining some ordinary elixirs and magic tools will be easy. However, it is not easy to master it. It requires personal comprehension. I have many disciples, but only Ling Tianxing has gone a step further on the basis of 'Nine Heavens Seal Treasure Refining Technique' and comprehended his own way of refining pills and tools. His future achievements are limitless."

Zhang Qian put away the jade slip with some excitement, thinking to himself: "When I learn the treasure refining technique in the jade slip, I wonder if the Qiankun Ding magical power will appear?"
