An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Chapter 414: Gambling with Life

"This is……"

When Zhu Rongsheng saw Xu Fu take out a large piece of meat from the Qiankun bag, his eyes lit up, but his eyes did not fall on the piece of sea dragon meat.

"The Qiankun bag of Zhuque Shanglingyuan?" Zhu Rongsheng asked as if talking to himself.

Xu Fu's heart skipped a beat. He could tell Zhu Rongsheng was interested in the Qiankun bag. If it was an ordinary treasure, he would have given it to him. However, although he had only had the Qiankun bag for a short time, he loved it very much. Since he had the Qiankun bag, he no longer had to worry about where to put his things. Moreover, even though there were so many things in the bag, he could hardly feel the weight. It was very convenient to carry it with him when he went out. He felt bad for him to take it out.

However, if Bai Yu could be cured, Xu Fu gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"I wonder if you can take this ninth-grade sea dragon meat?"

Xu Fu raised the sea dragon meat in his hand a little higher. He still hoped to use the sea dragon meat as a bargaining chip.

"Ninth-grade sea dragon?"

Sure enough, after hearing Xu Fu talk about the origin of the meat, Zhu Rongsheng immediately shifted his attention to Xu Fu's hands.

Carefully taking the still cold sea dragon meat, Zhu Rongsheng moved closer and looked at it carefully.

“Good meat!”

After a while, Zhu Rongsheng let out a long sigh and praised softly.

As soon as he raised his head, Zhu Rongsheng met Xu Fu's eager gaze, then he sighed slightly and handed the sea dragon meat back to Xu Fu.

"Senior, if it's not enough, I can add more! Even if you want to..."

Xu Fu immediately became anxious upon seeing this. The slight reluctance he had just felt towards the Qiankun bag had long since disappeared. He did not take the sea dragon meat, but reached out to untie the Qiankun bag around his waist.

Seeing that Xu Fu did not take the meat, Zhu Rongsheng exerted a little force with his right hand and threw the meat to Xu Fu, then turned his head to look at Zhu Dabao who was playing with bamboo nearby.

"Dabao, take them to find your Third Master."

"Okay!" Zhu Dabao responded obediently.

Xu Fu stood there in confusion.

"If it's just a seal, I can indeed do it, but if you want to refine it, you have to ask my third uncle for help."

After Zhu Rongsheng finished speaking, he turned around to sort out the bamboo strips he had cut.

"Thank you, senior!"

"Thank you, senior!"

The three of them then understood what Zhu Rongsheng meant and thanked him repeatedly. Xu Fu wanted to give the sea dragon meat in his hand to Zhu Rongsheng, but he refused calmly on the grounds that "no reward without merit".

After the four of them left the bamboo forest, Xu Fu had already made up his mind. This Zhu Rongsheng was already a rare and peerless master, so his third uncle must be even more powerful. Thinking of this, Xu Fu felt much more relaxed and his steps became lighter.

They learned from Zhu Dabao that the old man they were looking for was named Zhu Youyu, who was considered one of the oldest people in the village and usually lived in the west end of the village.

The few of them crossed the entire village again and came to a pond at the west end of the village.

The pond looked to be more than ten meters long and four or five meters wide. The water was emerald green and it was impossible to tell how deep it was.

The water plants in the pond were quite lush, and fish would occasionally float up from the water, tap their fins, and then dive back into the water.

An old man with gray hair and gray clothes squatted by the pond, holding a bamboo pole, motionless. Even when several people approached, he did not turn his head.

"Third Master!"

Zhu Dabao shouted.

"oops!"

The old man jumped up in anger when he heard that, turned around and shouted at Zhu Dabao, "What are you yelling about, you little bastard! You scared all my fish away!"

"Why is the Third Master fishing?" Zhu Dabao asked with interest, not afraid of Zhu Youyu's shouting.

"It's your good grandpa who scolded me for not being able to calm down and forced me to go fishing! He might as well let me cut bamboo!" Zhu Youyu said unhappily.

"Grandpa is definitely doing this for your own good!" Zhu Dabao consoled.

"Who are these people?" Zhu Youyu glanced at Xu Fu and the other two and asked with dissatisfaction.

"It was the Second Master who asked me to bring them here..."

"Let your mistress worry less. I'm old, and I'm still a nobody!" Zhu Youyu glanced at Bai Yu and Li Wuji behind Xu Fu, and then said, "I'm old enough to be their grandfather!"

"Senior, we are here to seek medical treatment!"

Seeing that Zhu Youyu had misunderstood, Xu Fu hurried forward to explain his purpose.

"There's no cure. Hurry up and leave before I miss my fishing trip!"

Zhu Youyu still had that unpleasant tone and turned around to pick up the fishing rod.

"It was the Second Master who asked me to bring them here." Zhu Dabao said hurriedly.

"Hey? So, you have something good?"

Zhu Youyu suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Xu Fu. His nephew knew his temper very well. Since they were asked to come, they must have brought top-quality ingredients.

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu hurriedly took out the sea dragon meat and respectfully presented it with both hands.

When Zhu Youyu saw the sea dragon meat, he seemed like a different person. In the blink of an eye he appeared in front of Xu Fu.

Before Xu Fu could react, the sea dragon meat in his hand had already fallen into Zhu Youyu's hands.

"Good meat! Good meat!"

Zhu Youyu slapped the sea dragon meat and praised it.

"This meat has a salty smell, it must be something from the sea. Looking at the texture, it doesn't look like fish or shrimp, nor like shellfish, but rather somewhat similar to snake meat. And the quality is so high, could it be... dragon meat?"

Zhu Youyu's inference shocked himself and Xu Fu as well.

Xu Fu didn't expect that this unkempt old man in front of him, who didn't look like a senior master at all, had such a sharp vision. He could deduce the origin of the meat after just a few glances. It was true that "the real man never reveals his face"!

"Tell me! What do you want to change?"

Zhu Youyu swallowed hard as he spoke. Even Zhu Dabao could see the heat in his eyes, as if he was going to swallow the piece of sea dragon meat into his stomach in the next moment.

"Please help her refine the Taotie Pearl."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu immediately pushed Bai Yu in front of Zhu Youyu.

"Taotie Pearl?"

Zhu Youyu was stunned at first, then his eyes glowed red, and he also used the Spirit Fire Eyes.

However, when Xu Fu looked carefully, he found that there was no golden light in Zhu Youyu's eyes, which showed that his attainments in the Spirit Fire Eye were not as good as Zhu Rongsheng's.

"Want to refine it?" Zhu Youyu asked again.

"Yes, I wonder if it is feasible?"

Xu Fu was also unsure. After all, he had only heard a few words from Zhu Rongsheng before, and there was still a long way to go between saying and doing.

"Refine the inner alchemy of the four evil beasts? How dare you even think about it!" Zhu Youyu sneered after hearing Xu Fu's words.

"Is there no other way?" Xu Fu asked reluctantly.

"If you're willing to gamble your life, it's not impossible." Zhu Youyu continued to look at the sea dragon meat in his hand and said in a rather calm tone.

"I am willing!"

Before Xu Fu could react, Bai Yu had already answered loudly without any hesitation.

Xu Fu looked at Bai Yu and saw that she had a determined look and was not afraid at all, as if she had put life and death aside.

Xu Fu originally wanted to say something, but seemed to be shocked by Bai Yu's determination. In the end, he just opened his mouth but didn't say a word.
