After awakening, the female supporting character in the abused novel only wants to ascend to immorta

Chapter 196 The Hundred Birds Cauldron

Lin Zhao observed Nie Shenghai's expression for a while and knew that he had not actually let go. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Master, do you know about the Marrow Cleansing Pill?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Shenghai smiled wryly and said, "How could I, a man seeking wealth, not know about those legendary pills? But the Marrow Cleansing Pill is the best among the seventh-grade pills, and I am powerless to help it."

The Marrow Cleansing Pill cleanses the marrow and strengthens the bones, and is said to have the terrifying ability to transform a cultivation failure into a genius.

However, the reality is that only powerful forces are qualified to obtain this grade of pills, and top sects have other means besides the Marrow Cleansing Pill to help less talented disciples in their clans unleash their potential.

For ordinary people in small towns like theirs, such elixirs could only exist in legends.

Lin Zhao only asked, "If I can offer a Marrow Cleansing Pill, I wonder if it would be possible to exchange it for the section of dragon bone that is about to be auctioned off?"

Actually, she did have a Marrow Cleansing Pill here. It wasn't made by Granny Honghu, but given to her by her father.

It was only after arriving on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent that Lin Zhao discovered a bunch of things in the ring Lin Mang had given her, among which the most eye-catching was this Marrow Cleansing Pill.

According to the spirit message left by her father, Lin Mang obtained this Marrow Cleansing Pill from his old friend after learning that his daughter had not made any progress in cultivation for nearly ten years at Cloud Peak. He was waiting for Lin Zhao to come home so he could give it to her.

Later, when Lin Zhao returned to the Lin family, her demonstrated talent made him realize that the pill wouldn't actually be of much use to her. So, he simply put it in the corner of his spatial ring along with the pocket money he was giving Lin Zhao, and gave it to her.

Now that Lin Zhao has discovered this thing, she really can't use it herself anymore. At this point, the Marrow Cleansing Pill is not as helpful to her as a Qi Restoration Pill.

The impurities, tendons, and bones in her body had long been reshaped through repeated body tempering and the Origin Spirit Vein, reaching their proper peak.

At most, the Marrow Cleansing Pill would warm her meridians for a while and make her spiritual energy flow a little faster.

Why not give it a try and see if you can get back what you want in return?

Nie Shenghai's expression clearly showed that he was interested.

But in the end, he shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, Fairy Lin, I really want to agree immediately. If it were the final item in other auctions, it wouldn't be impossible for me to suppress it once, but this dragon bone is already being contested by several hidden powerful forces, which is beyond my ability to interfere with."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao was not too disappointed. He still took out the box containing the Marrow Cleansing Pill from his ring and stroked it nostalgically, looking at the patterns on the ornately carved wooden box.

She certainly wasn't missing the seventh-grade pill; with Granny Honghu's strength restored, she had already sent a message to Lin Zhao.

Even if it's a ninth-grade pill, Granny Honghu isn't incapable of refining it; she just can't guarantee that every pill will be of perfect quality like she can with other grades.

What Lin Zhao missed was that this elixir was something Lin Mang had obtained for her.

"Father..." Thinking of how Lin Mang seemed to have aged ten years since his mother was arrested and began to go into seclusion to improve his cultivation, Lin Zhao's eyes welled up with tears.

"I will definitely kill Yunding and bring my mother home."

After making a mental promise, Lin Zhao took out the Marrow Cleansing Pill from the box and said, "I wonder if Master Nie can recognize this pill."

Nie Shenghai had long heard of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and when he actually came into contact with it, the mere fragrance of the pill made him feel ecstatic.

"This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill... Fairy Lin intends to sell it to me?"

Lin Zhao nodded: "Master Nie should be able to afford the market price of a seventh-grade pill, right?"

"Of course!" This is a priceless treasure! This one pill solved a problem that had plagued him for decades; he would buy it even if it meant going bankrupt!
"I can give you spirit stones at three times the market price!" Nie Shenghai carefully put away the pill.

Lin Zhao looked at it, and suddenly his worries disappeared: "Master, why don't you examine this pill of mine to see if there's anything wrong with it?"

Nie Shenghai laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "I trust Fairy Lin! If Fairy Lin needs anything in the future, just come to me, Nie!"

Having obtained this Marrow Cleansing Pill, Nie Shenghai's ambitions for his future development grew even stronger.

He was only an appraiser and manager in a small place like Beicheng because he lacked the talent and skill to cultivate. Once his talent and cultivation improved, Beicheng would definitely not be his final destination.

Lin Zhao had obviously noticed this point, which was why she gave him a Marrow Cleansing Pill. Although Granny Honghu could also refine it, they currently lacked the medicinal materials. Keeping the pill with her would only make it a lucky charm; it would be better to use it as an investment.

Lin Zhao had high hopes for the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce.

When she arrived on the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, she could not be without any foundation or reliable people.

After spending some time with Nie Shenghai, and considering Zhao Wuyan's Ice Soul Yin Yang Pearl, she decisively invested in the Worry-Free Chamber of Commerce and in Nie Shenghai.

"From now on, I will rely on your care, Master."

Everyone here is a smart person, so Nie Shenghai nodded readily.

"Fairy Lin has resolved my long-standing heartache. Unless it shakes my very foundation, I, Nie, will definitely help her to the end."

Lin Zhao picked up a wine glass from the coffee table: "Then I, Lin Zhao, will acknowledge Master Nie as my brother!"

After saying that, she drank it all in one gulp, and Nie Shenghai immediately returned the toast.

Both got what they needed and were very satisfied.

Auctioneer Han Xue also began today's auction.

"The first item up for auction." Han Xue took a box-like object wrapped in red cloth from the staff.

Lin Zhao used his divine soul power to probe the red cloth, but he couldn't penetrate it to see what was inside.

Clearly, this red cloth was specially made to block the detection of powerful cultivators' divine senses.

Han Xue carefully placed what appeared to be a box on the auction table and pulled back the red cloth.

What came into Lin Zhao's view was a jade-colored square medicine cauldron, with a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix carved all over its body, and a faint crimson light shimmering on the cauldron.

"The first item up for auction is the Hundred Birds Cauldron."

Unexpectedly, the first item up for auction was related to her minor cultivation, and Lin Zhao immediately perked up, asking Granny Honghu, "Master, what do you think of this medicine cauldron?"

"It looks alright. It can probably refine pills below grade seven, but for grade seven and above, tsk, this material can't withstand the spiritual pressure of pills above grade seven. It's considered a mid-to-high-grade cauldron among medium-grade cauldrons. If you like it, you can buy it to practice."

Lin Zhao no longer has her own medicine cauldron; she has always used Grandma Honghu's Honghu Square Cauldron.

Medicine cauldrons are also a type of spiritual artifact, but they don't have as many ranking rules.

However, it is possible to distinguish between good and bad.

"Your alchemy skills are not yet up to my level. Once you reach that level, I will take you to find the top thirty alchemists on the alchemy cauldron ranking list."

Although there are no official rankings, the best alchemy cauldrons are listed in a ranking system within the alchemist profession.

Grandma Honghu's Honghu Square Ding is ranked sixteenth on the list.

"Then we can try buying it."

She currently refines mostly fifth-grade pills, and even after advancing to the Heartbeat Stage, she will only refine sixth-grade pills.

As for seventh-grade pills...

Once we reach the core area of ​​the Northwest Continent and advance to the Nascent Soul stage, it won't be too late to search for a better medicine cauldron.

At least with my own medicine cauldron, everything will be more convenient. I won't have to deliberately hide from others every time I refine medicine, just to prevent the Honghu Cauldron from being recognized.
