Chapter 194 Mysterious Furnace
Liu Feng was a lucky person, no doubt. He had come across multiple treasures that many would only find once in their lifetime.
And of all those things, he had come across, and became a companion with the one and only white tiger. That was something that was never done before. After all, a constellation beast was never a human's companion beast before.
But with all of these opportunities, Liu Feng's spatial ring was filled with treasure, and he had forgotten about some of them a long time ago.
Now, one of them was beginning to jog his memory. It was the first time that he met Bai Zhiqui in that small shop, and he bought a medicinal pot that he suspected to be a furnace.
That time, he thought that he would figure out what was within it, but now, with so much on his plate, he had left that project a long time ago.
However, that very furnace was moving right now. It was shaking, as if it was meeting its long lost master. Liu Feng took the old furnace out, and saw the changes that came about it.
With runes all over the furnace, and the old look leaving it, it looked like a heavenly treasure. And this was the pill tower, of all places. The three pill geniuses in front of him looked at that Pill Furnace, and salivated.
"That is a good furnace. A good furnace fit for a good master. I envy you, brother Tian." Ding Yan smiled and looked the other way. It was not good manners to look at someone else's treasure like that after all.
But Gu Hua looked at it with greed and jealousy. She wanted that, and had only malice towards Liu Feng.
"I think that we need to go in, and not leave Master Mu waiting any longer." Liu Feng said and walked in with the furnace in his hand.
The inside of the room was spacious. It was certainly fitting of a branch leader of the biggest pill tower in the entire kingdom. There was a furnace in the middle of the entire room, and it was boiling still.
In front of the furnace was an old man, and he was still working on it. He added a few ingredients and closed it up.
Then, looking at the guests who had arrived, he smiled.
"I have heard about the fight that had occurred. I think that the geniuses of the kingdom should be amicable with each other. The future of the kingdom, and its reputation rests upon you." Master Mu said gently.
"What are you talking about, Master Mu? It seems like a terrible premonition." Liu Feng said.
His face was no longer comfortable, as he was trying to hold the furnace. It seemed to want to go somewhere, and the power that the furnace was exerting grew stronger and stronger.
"Haha. Do you know the Medicine Spirit Sect? Well, I wouldn't suppose you would know that bit of boring history. But in the alchemy groups, that sect was a legend back in the day. They had a monopoly on the alchemy market because of one reason, and one reason alone. The Nine furnaces of the Medicine Spirit Sect." Master Mu said, glancing at the furnace in Liu Feng's hand.
"This is one of those furnaces?" Liu Feng asked.
"Yes. Mine is also one of the furnaces, and seeing a familiar brother has excited this furnace. You are very lucky, to have gotten such a good furnace." Master Mu smiled.
"I was lucky that a certain someone passed up on it, even though she probably knew what this was." Liu Feng looked at Bai Zhiqui.
"Ah, well, why talk about the past? Let the furnaces meet for some time. Why not let them have that affectionate bonding? We have more important things to do." Master Mu said.
Liu Feng nodded and stopped suppressing the furnace. The furnace flew to the furnace that was in the middle of the room. The two started dancing up and down, and it was a rhythmic beat that they followed.
"Well now, into the important things. In front of me, I have assembled the strongest geniuses of the Tiandu kingdom to help save its face. I am sure you know of the Handu kingdom?" Master Mu said.
Everyone nodded, including Liu Feng. Handu was a kingdom that was right next to Tiandu. In one way, they could be said to be like relative kingdoms. But there was one problem, they were not exactly allies.
This was not a situation of hate, so they never broke into war. But whenever one kingdom could find a way to humiliate the other and prove their supremacy they would.
"This is a time when the Tiandu kingdom is about to select a new king. The royal family is in chaos, and their alchemists are too arrogant to work with us. Seeing this, the Handu Kingdom has decided to send a delegation now, and wants the geniuses of the Tiandu kingdom to have a match off." Master Mu said.
"How many people do their delegation have?" Gu Hua asked.
"Four. And I hope that we will convincingly defeat them. I have confidence in all of you. That is why I have brought you out in the guise of a meet that was the biggest in the entire kingdom." Master Mu said.
"So you basically lied to the entire kingdom that there is a pill meet happening to lure out the geniuses you need to battle the Handu kingdom? Why didn't you just ask each one of them specifically?" Liu Feng asked.
"Do not mistake my words. The pill meet is something that will happen. In fact, it shall happen in all pomp, so that all of you can prove yourselves to be the true geniuses of the entire kingdom, and that way, no one will say anything when you represent the kingdom." Master Mu said.
