Son-in-law Heaven Emperor Xiao Yi-Chapter 675 - 674: Pine Crane Longevity Elixir!
"What? If I refuse to sell, do you intend to resort to robbery?"
Liu Rufeng narrowed his eyes, a playful cold smirk on his face.
He was a master from the Longevity Secret Realm, and even though Xiao Yi's reputation was indeed substantial, and there had even been rumors about his battle with Long Sihai where he blinded Long Sihai's eyes, Liu Rufeng showed no trace of fear.
Xiao Yi's lips lifted slightly as he said indifferently, "Elder Liu jokes. Let's not even mention the backing of Medicine King Valley behind you, just based on Elder Liu's character alone, I would never do such a thing!"
Liu Rufeng was known to be upright and strictly honorable.
Though somewhat stubborn, he was full of integrity.
This could be seen clearly from how he handled Xu Hanling's matter earlier.
Furthermore, along the way, Xiao Yi had come to understand that over the years, Liu Rufeng's Jishi Hall had indeed helped many people. Not only had various powerhouses sought help from him, but he had also lent a hand to ordinary people in need of saving.
Every year, he would hold a seminar to disseminate the arts of healing and alchemy for the benefit of the common folk.
Liu Rufeng was taken aback, then raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Then, how does Xiao Zhenguo intend to take the Seven Leaves One Branch Flower from my hands? I have made it clear to the people from Treasure Pavilion that I won't sell!"
Xiao Yi shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I plan to exchange with Elder Liu."
"Exchange?"
Liu Rufeng burst into laughter, "Is Xiao Zhenguo joking? As far as I know, almost all eighth-grade spiritual medicines that could compare to the Seven Leaves One Branch Flower are extinct, and ninth-grade spiritual medicines could be exchanged, but surely nobody would be foolish enough to exchange a ninth-grade for an eighth-grade, right?"
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "Of course not, I propose to exchange with an elixir recipe!"
"Elixir recipe?"
Liu Rufeng sized up Xiao Yi. If it were not for Xiao Yi's identity and his admirable actions outside Jishi Hall, Liu Rufeng might have suspected Xiao Yi was trying to freeload off of him. Squinting his eyes, he said, "I believe in the vast Southern State, apart from the sacred grounds, no place's elixir recipes could compare with Medicine King Valley's, right?"
Medicine King Valley was not only the premier cultivator of medicinal herbs in Southern State.
But their alchemy skills were also second to none in Southern State, with the only possible exception being the Nantian sacred grounds.
They possessed a countless number of elixir recipes.
Liu Rufeng did not believe that Xiao Yi could produce any elixir recipe he had not seen before.
Facing Liu Rufeng's probing, Xiao Yi merely smiled slightly and confidently said, "The elixir recipe I hold has been lost for tens of thousands of years, and I obtained it by a fortunate coincidence!"
"Oh?"
Liu Rufeng had to admit his curiosity was piqued by Xiao Yi.
He looked at Xiao Yi with burning interest.
Xiao Yi enunciated clearly, "The Pine Crane Longevity Elixir!"
Hiss!
Liu Rufeng suddenly sat bolt upright, his eyes glaring fiercely, and he stared at Xiao Yi in disbelief.
His breathing became rapid.
His hands tightly clutched the armrests as he gazed at Xiao Yi and demanded, "You, you, you, how do you know that I have been researching the Pine Crane Longevity Elixir?"
Medicine King Valley likewise had the power of the Nantian Dynasty behind it, and this time, one of Medicine King Valley's powerful backers from the Nantian Dynasty was approaching the end of his lifespan, and he had given them an incomplete Pine Crane Longevity Elixir recipe.
The hope was that Medicine King Valley could complete the recipe for the Pine Crane Longevity Elixir.

The energy of that person in the Nantian Dynasty is by no means weaker than the Emperor's.
The Medicine King Valley also attaches great importance to it.
The three Eighth Grade Alchemists exhausted their efforts in researching the herb formula, yet they achieved no results. Liu Rufeng previously spent half a year studying the formula to no avail, and with the sermon approaching, he returned to the medicinal capital.
This news was a closely guarded secret of the Medicine King Valley, but Xiao Yi was able to directly mention the Pine Crane Longevity Elixir, which made his heart skip a beat.
He feared someone had leaked the news.
Xiao Yi waved his hand to signal Liu Rufeng not to worry, and said with a smile, "Elder Liu need not be concerned. It's not that someone in your Medicine King Valley has leaked secrets, but rather, I smelled the scent of the Thousand-year-old Pine Crane Blood and the Life-extending Ointment on you, which are essential ingredients for the Pine Crane Longevity Elixir. However, judging by the scent on you, there seems to be a problem with the ratio of ingredients and the combination of herbs!"
Hum!
Liu Rufeng's face changed dramatically.
Indeed, the biggest difficulty in researching the Pine Crane Longevity Elixir was the proportion and combination of herbs.
After all, with the same herbs, different proportions and combinations would produce different effects.
For a peak Eighth Grade spiritual medicine like the Pine Crane Longevity Elixir, just the herbs involved numbered in the thousands; even with the same proportions, the different combinations reach into millions, not to mention the different ratios of herbs.
If they were to research on their own, even thousands or tens of thousands of years might not be enough.
Xiao Yi's lips curved into a faint smile as he leisurely sized up Liu Rufeng.
Under Xiao Yi's calm gaze, Liu Rufeng let out a wry smile and admitted defeat, "Indeed worthy of Xiao Zhenguo, no wonder you can support the vast Daqian Dynasty on your own. I can give you the Seven Leaves One Branch Flower, in exchange for the herb formula. However, before we confirm the correctness of the formula, you must stay in Chu County and not leave!"
He was taking precautions.
If the formula was fake and Xiao Yi left with the Seven Leaves One Branch Flower, he would have nowhere to cry.
Xiao Yi nodded and said, "That's fine, but you need to prepare an alchemy room for me, as I need to refine some elixirs! Besides, I can only wait for you for seven days, and there are just over ten days until the Daqian Dynasty's founding ceremony begins, and I must return!"
"That's no problem, seven days is enough time for us to verify the authenticity of the formula, and you can use my own alchemy room!" Liu Rufeng said gravely.
"Pleasure doing business with you!"
Xiao Yi's smile widened as he tossed the formula to Liu Rufeng.
Liu Rufeng did not delay and handed over the jade box containing the Seven Leaves One Branch Flower to Xiao Yi.
Craddling the jade box in his hands.
Xiao Yi's lips curled up slightly, with the Seven Leaves One Branch Flower he could refine the Eighth-transformation Wind Thunder Elixir. As soon as he entered the eighth level of the Wind Thunder Holy Body, he would fully master the ninth chart of the Tongtian Tiroku.
Once his body, spells, and spirit records all reached the ninth chart, he could begin cultivating the unity of all paths and prepare to break into the Longevity Secret Realm!
"You can do your alchemy here, no one will disturb you. As for food, I will have Xu Hanling bring it to you!" Liu Rufeng, having obtained the formula and merely glanced over it, sensed that it might be real and promptly said.
He was in a hurry to go back to the Medicine King Valley to verify the authenticity of the formula.
Xiao Yi nodded with a smile, "Please, as you will!"
This was the private alchemy room of a prestigious Eighth Grade Alchemist, where both the Alchemy Furnace and the Formations were top-notch, the perfect place for him to refine the Eighth-transformation Wind Thunder Elixir. He then sat cross-legged in front of the Alchemy Furnace, lit the fire for preheating, and began refining after tossing in the ingredients.
Immersed in refining the Eighth-transformation Wind Thunder Elixir, Xiao Yi was unaware.
Not long after Liu Rufeng returned to the Medicine King Valley, a significant conflict erupted within it.
There were even powerhouses from the Medicine King Valley who had already set their sights on this fat fish…
