Chapter 1302: Chapter 1299: The Show Begins

When he blurted out about the treasure.

Chu Xingyuan immediately regretted it, realizing he was being too eager for quick success and shouldn’t have shown such urgency towards Xu Wendong’s treasure.

After all, everything he arranged today was to make Xu Wendong lower his guard, only then could he find out what treasure he had.

Only then could he take him by surprise, kill him, and seize his treasure.

Fortunately.

It seemed Xu Wendong didn’t sense his urgency. He took a sip of wine and smiled, ”I wouldn’t call it a treasure, just a Pill Furnace!”

”The reason I can refine top-quality elixirs is entirely because of that Pill Furnace.”

He wasn’t lying.

The reason he could refine top-quality elixirs was indeed because of the Golden Crow Furnace, which was not an ordinary Spiritual Artifact.

Wu Qinfeng suppressed his excitement and said, ”I wonder if the three of us could have the honor to see Young Master Xu’s Alchemy Furnace?”

”Brother Wu, we cannot do this!” Chu Xingyuan said sternly, ”For an Alchemist, nothing is more valuable than their Pill Furnace. How can they easily show their Pill Furnace to others?”

Wu Qinfeng gave a forced smile, ”I was being presumptuous.”

Xu Wendong replied nonchalantly, ”Senior Chu, you’re right. An Alchemist can’t easily show their Pill Furnace to others.”

”But, we’re not outsiders, so there’s not much to say.”

”If you want to see it, it’s no big deal.”

Upon hearing this, all three couldn’t help but have their hearts race faster.

The reason the three of them were playing along was to coax Xu Wendong into taking out his Pill Furnace, and unexpectedly, he was so cooperative.

Truly, heaven is aiding me!

Chu Xingyuan smiled, ”Since Young Master Xu is so generous, then my brothers and I would be honored to accept.”

Wu Qinfeng and Shi Sulong also held their breath, looking at Xu Wendong with anticipation.

Xu Wendong slowly opened his right hand.

In an instant.

A black light spread from his palm.

When the black light faded, a completely black Tri-pod Cauldron was floating in his palm.

This Pill Furnace didn’t look special; even its shape was quite ordinary. But the three legs resembled a bird’s legs—thin yet inexplicably powerful.

Moreover, there were ancient inscriptions on the Pill Furnace, making it clear at first glance that it was no ordinary item.

Beyond that.

The Alchemy Furnace emitted an ancient and desolate aura.

In the adjacent room.

Mu Yu sighed helplessly, ”Clan Leader, although Young Master Xu is exceptionally gifted, he is too innocent; he shouldn’t display such a valuable treasure to others!”

She had long predicted that Chu Xingyuan would target Xu Wendong and had warned him not to meet him.

However.

Since Xu Wendong insisted, she naturally couldn’t stand by idly.

Thus.

She informed Mu Wanqiu of the matter.

Upon learning of it, Mu Wanqiu promptly arrived at Biyun Pavilion.

All to covertly protect Xu Wendong.

Even though Chu Xingyuan had once saved her life.

But as Mu Yu said, compassion fades over time.

Not to mention, Xu Wendong was a man even Lei Nanxiang couldn’t claim.

And he had refined top-quality elixirs.

She wouldn’t let Chu Xingyuan eliminate Xu Wendong.

Mu Wanqiu sat quietly at the tea tray, sipping tea, her face revealing no emotion, ”I know Lei Nanxiang’s ways; that woman is exceptionally insidious.”

”If Young Master Xu could escape from Lei Nanxiang, even that alone is exceptional.”

”And yet, now he’s acting so naïve and pure. Don’t you find it a bit odd?”

Mu Yu frowned, ”You mean he’s putting on an act to confuse others?”

Mu Wanqiu, ”Rather than confusing others, it’s more like he’s playing along with these three.”

Mu Yu looked puzzled, ”Why? What’s his purpose in doing this?”

Mu Wanqiu smiled intriguingly, ”The show has begun, and the answer will soon reveal itself. Just watch; I hope it’s not what I think.” With that, she sipped her fragrant tea slowly.

------

In the adjacent room.

”Is this... the legendary Golden Crow Furnace?” Chu Xingyuan suddenly stood up, his pupils trembling fiercely, and goosebumps rose all over him.

”What? The legendary Golden Crow Furnace? The Golden Crow Furnace is supposed to be a legendary Immortal Artifact!”

Shi Sulong and Wu Qinfeng also stood instinctively, feeling a tingling on their scalps.

For an Alchemist.

The Golden Crow Furnace is unquestionably a legendary Supreme Treasure.

It’s the ultimate goal in every Alchemist’s heart.

It’s not just an Immortal Artifact; it represents the Alchemy Dao.

Without a doubt.

Owning it makes one the Chief of Pill Dao, commanding all Alchemists.

It’s the symbol of status and prestige!

”Brother Chu, is this truly the Golden Crow Furnace? Wasn’t it said that the Golden Crow Furnace had vanished long ago?” Wu Qinfeng was the first to come to his senses and looked at Chu Xingyuan with shock.

Shi Sulong said gravely, ”The Golden Crow Furnace hasn’t disappeared; it merely returned to the Yanhuang Plane.”

Chu Xingyuan nervously swallowed and looked at Xu Wendong, unable to help but ask, ”Young Master Xu, are you from the Yanhuang Plane?”

Xu Wendong nodded, knowing that Chu Xingyuan’s mention of the Yanhuang Plane referred to Earth.

Upon confirming the origin of the Golden Crow Furnace.

Whether it was Chu Xingyuan, Shi Sulong, or Wu Qinfeng, their eyes all showed an uncontrollable heat.

They had guessed Xu Wendong possessed a treasure, but none expected it to be the legendary Golden Crow Furnace.

This was truly an unexpected delight!

After taking a deep breath, Chu Xingyuan looked at Xu Wendong, who was savoring the Unforgettable Fish, and suddenly struck out, delivering a palm strike toward his head.

Boom!

The force of the palm was immense, exuding an unstoppable power.

When Xu Wendong realized Chu Xingyuan’s intention and attempted to dodge, it was already too late; the palm had already crashed heavily onto his head.

Splurt!

Xu Wendong spat blood from his seven orifices, collapsing to the ground like a heap of mud, looking miserably battered, his eyes revealing a hint of bewilderment but mostly despair.

He spoke weakly, ”Senior Chu, why did you betray me?”

Chu Xingyuan, excitedly clutching the Golden Crow Furnace, showed a hint of disdain, ”You really thought I was inviting you for a meal, didn’t you?”

”Everything I did was to make you lower your guard and deliver a fatal strike.”

”Because I knew you had a treasure on you.”

”And by killing you, this treasure shall be mine.”

”Furthermore, there’s one more reason to kill you: your existence undermines my status in the Mu Family.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong slowly closed his eyes, losing his breath completely.

”Hahaha, the Golden Crow Furnace, it’s mine now! From now on, I shall command the entire Alchemy World!” Chu Xingyuan looked at the furnace in his hands, ecstatic to the extreme.
