?Chapter 832: Chapter 371: Refining the Soul-Returning Pill Chapter 832: Chapter 371: Refining the Soul-Returning Pill The place where the Xian Duan elder resided was a small, inconspicuous tavern on a quiet street.
Senior Han brought Lin Jing to this small tavern, and in its backyard, Lin Jing met the Xian Duan elder.
When Lin Jing saw the Xian Duan elder, the latter had an unassuming aura and a very frail body, appearing like a small, feeble old man.
Though he seemed exceedingly frail in appearance, his eyes were, however, remarkably bright.
?????.??
Upon seeing Lin Jing, the Xian Duan elder seemed very interested in him, immediately sizing him up.
After examining him for a while, the Xian Duan elder spoke up, his voice full of vigour, and asked Lin Jing,
“Are you the young lad from the Lin Family?”
Lin Jing clasped his hands and replied to the Xian Duan elder:
“Yes, senior!”
The Xian Duan elder looked at Lin Jing, then spoke again:
“My disciple Han Jing has told me everything.
He said you want me to repair the Lin Family’s Startling Crane Furnace, is that correct or not?”
The Innate Dao Treasure Pill Furnace of Lin Jing was indeed named the Startling Crane Furnace, dubbed so due to its main forging material being the illusory Startling Crane Gold.
Lin Jing clasped his hands and said, “Yes, senior…”
“Our Lin Family’s Startling Crane Furnace was damaged due to certain reasons.
When I was with the Changyun Clan, I heard Elder Changyun mention that if one were to ask who in the entire Cultivation World could repair the Startling Crane Furnace?”
“It could only be you, senior.”
Upon hearing this, the Xian Duan elder came to a sudden realization:
“Changyun Hong…”
“It’s him, no wonder…”
After speaking, the Xian Duan elder once again addressed Lin Jing:
“What Changyun Hong said wasn’t entirely accurate.”
“To be precise, if I were to take action, there would only be a possibility of repair, and I cannot guarantee success; moreover, if I am not careful, it could even result in further severe damage.”
“Having said this, are you sure you still want me to help you with the repair?”
The Startling Crane Furnace had already shattered into several pieces.
Even if it were further damaged, how much worse could it get?
The Xian Duan elder said this merely to forewarn Lin Jing of the worst outcome should the repair fail, and naturally, Lin Jing was aware of this.
Thereafter.
Lin Jing, without the slightest hesitation, spoke up directly:
“Then I’ll trouble you, senior.”
Upon hearing this, the Xian Duan elder nodded and said:
“Do you have the Startling Crane Furnace with you?”
“Of course…” Lin Jing said, while taking out the broken pieces of the Startling Crane Furnace and placing them in front of the Xian Duan elder.
The Startling Crane Furnace was a large Pill Furnace about ten feet tall and wide.
Even its broken pieces took up considerable space in front of the Xian Duan elder.
Upon seeing the Pill Furnace, the Xian Duan elder’s demeanor underwent a sudden change, and the way he looked at the Startling Crane Furnace now was filled with wonder, as if he were looking at a treasure.
Compared to just a moment ago, the Xian Duan elder seemed like a different person.
Subsequently, the Xian Duan elder paid no more attention to Lin Jing and bent over, starting to examine the Pill Furnace intently.
Lin Jing and Han Jing, meanwhile, stood silently on the spot, watching the Xian Duan elder, careful not to disturb him.
The Xian Duan elder studied the Startling Crane Furnace as if he had forgotten the time, completely engrossed.
This examination lasted for a full four hours.
During this time, the Xian Duan elder, while observing, also extended his Spiritual Power to try and thoroughly understand the casting techniques of the Pill Furnace.
Even Lin Jing and Han Jing stood neglected on the side.
After the Xian Duan elder finished his exploration and looked up again, his brows were tightly furrowed, and he was muttering to himself nonstop…
“Truly worthy of being the Startling Crane Furnace, the forging skills from the Ancient Era really are extraordinary…”
“But this Pill Furnace…
and its materials…”
As he spoke, the Xian Duan elder began to frown in deep thought again…
Before long, another hour passed, and it was only then that the Xian Duan elder suddenly looked up.
The Xian Duan elder raised his head, looked at Lin Jing, and directly said:
“Young lad of the Lin Family, your Startling Crane Furnace is not a common Daoist Treasure, and I can’t thoroughly study it at the moment, nor can I give you a method to repair it.”
“So…”
“I’ll first take these broken pieces of the Startling Crane Furnace back to Xian Duan Manor.
Once I find a method to repair it, I’ll have Han Jing contact you.
What do you think?”
“Of course…”
“If you don’t trust this old man, then forget it.”
Since the ancestor of the Changyun Clan had recommended the Xian Duan elder, he must have had immense trust in him.
Moreover, since the Xian Duan elder was also the master of Senior Han, Lin Jing naturally wouldn’t doubt his integrity.
Furthermore…
An Artifact Refining grandmaster like the Xian Duan elder, who rarely encountered such exceptional Daoist Treasures and Innate Dao Treasures, would not have any designs on a damaged Startling Crane Furnace.
No sooner had the Xian Duan elder finished speaking, Lin Jing hurriedly clasped his hands and said to him:
“Senior speaks too gravely!”
“Since I have requested senior’s help in repairing this Pill Furnace, I naturally have complete trust in you.
It’s perfectly fine for senior to take the Pill Furnace back to Xian Duan Manor.”
The Xian Duan elder looked at Lin Jing and gave a slight nod:
“Good…”
“Then I will take this Startling Crane Furnace back to Xian Duan Manor first, and when there is a clue, I will let Han Jing tell you.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing clasped his hands in a bow and said:
“In that case, I thank you greatly, senior.”
…
After the Xian Duan elder and Senior Han left together, Lin Jing also returned to his cave dwelling.
Lin Jing had just returned to his cave dwelling and had not yet decided on his next move when he received a message from Elder Qi.
Afterward, Lin Jing left his cave dwelling and went to see Elder Qi.
Lin Jing had just arrived at Elder Qi’s cave dwelling when, before Lin Jing could utter a word, Elder Qi tossed him an elixir recipe.
“This is a new elixir recipe that I have been studying recently; take a look at it first.”
