Chapter 337: Chapter 338: The Whereabouts of Ye Wuchen (Part 10)
In the Elder Council of the Alchemy Hall, Shen Ran sat upright, his gaze drifted toward the door, and urgency began to etch his age-worn face.
Suddenly, under the vast sky of sunlight, a figure clad in white slowly entered his vision.
Shen Ran’s eyes brightened, and he hurried forward, grabbed the young girl’s arm, and pulled her into the hall, “Come, come, girl, sit, sit quickly.”
Mu Ruyue was forcibly pushed into a chair and looked up to the smiling elder and asked softly, “Elder Shen, what did you want to see me for?”
“Well, haha…” Shen Ran rubbed his fists and chuckled, “Girl, where did you get that Alchemy Furnace from?”
“Alchemy Furnace?”
“Yes, the Phoenix Tripod in your hands.”
Mu Ruyue was taken aback, her eyes widened in surprise, and the shock in her heart was unparalleled as she looked at the elder whose smile had faded.
This old fellow actually knew about the Phoenix Tripod?
The Phoenix Tripod was just a lost Alchemy Furnace at the Alchemy Conference, so why did he know of its existence?
Shen Ran kept his eyes on Mu Ruyue, and upon seeing the astonishment on her face, he sighed in disappointment.
Initially, he had thought that the Phoenix Tripod was in her possession, and this young girl must have had some connection with the Moon Venerate; it seemed she merely possessed the Divine Tripod without knowing its true purpose.
“Girl, do you know the nobility of this Phoenix Tripod? It is a Divine Artifact!” Shen Ran’s voice trembled slightly with excitement, “A Divine Artifact! There are only so few in the world. It is said that the Phoenix Tripod is the only one in the world that can refine Divine-level Elixirs. Ordinary Alchemy Furnaces simply cannot withstand the power of Divine-level Elixirs.”
Suddenly, Mu Ruyue felt threatened and tightly gripped her Wanxiang Qiankun Bag as though Shen Ran was going to rob her.
Shen Ran blinked helplessly and looked at the young girl with a somewhat mournful tone, “Girl, do I look like someone who is blinded by wealth? If I wanted to forcefully take your things, I wouldn’t have waited until now, nor would I have wasted so much time talking to you.”
Mu Ruyue realized he was right and let go, quietly listening to the elder’s explanation.
“The Phoenix Tripod is not something just anyone can manipulate, so it’s really fortunate for you, girl, to have gained its recognition,” Shen Ran shook his head and enviously glanced at Mu Ruyue.
This girl was extremely lucky to have obtained such a treasure as the Phoenix Tripod.
“The Phoenix Tripod was given to me by someone else,” Mu Ruyue adjusted her brows slightly; had it not been for her participation in the Alchemy Conference that year, she would not have acquired the Phoenix Tripod.
Shen Ran stiffened, forcibly calming the anger in his heart.
He really wanted to slap this woman to death!
Given by someone else? That was clearly an outright flaunt!
“The Phoenix Tripod was a Divine Artifact used by the Moon Venerate a thousand years ago and became well-known due to the Moon Venerate. But after the death of the Moon Venerate, the Phoenix Tripod also disappeared. I never thought I would be fortunate enough to see it here; to see a weapon once wielded by a great warrior in my lifetime leaves me with no regrets afterward,” Shen Ran said, somewhat moved, thinking that if one day he could see the Nine Heavens Dragon Flame Sword, perhaps he would faint from happiness…
“So it was the Moon Venerate’s belonging,” Mu Ruyue nodded in realization.
No wonder the Phoenix Tripod recognized her; so there was such a reason…
