Master Wu clearly intended to mediate, so Li Hu immediately rushed towards his wager.
As long as he got his hands on the item, even if Qin Xuan wanted to contend for it, what could he do if Li Hu simply refused to give it up?
Qin Xuan, of course, guessed his intention, and the moment Li Hu moved, Qin Xuan rushed to the wager and took the item.
“You, put it down quickly!”
Li Hu was greatly alarmed and shouted in a hurry.
But since it had already entered Qin Xuan's pocket, there was naturally no possibility of getting it back.
“A bet is a bet, and you insisted on provoking me, bringing this upon yourself, so this item is naturally mine.”
“Since you lost, stop yelling!”
Qin Xuan said disdainfully. Hearing this, Jiang Dan, who was at his side, also reacted. They quickly looked at the Shanhe Cauldron nearby.
“Then many thanks, Master Wu!”
Jiang Dan spoke before Master Wu, then smiled and flew towards the Shanhe Cauldron.
“Master Wu......”
Several Three-Rank Alchemists following Master Wu looked at him.
If Master Wu really refused to hand it over, they would naturally step forward to deal with it.
However, watching this scene, Master Wu, despite being furious, said nothing in the end, only clenching his fists tightly.
He was different from Li Hu.
Li Hu could renege, but he could not.
Since the outcome was decided, if he refused to hand over the Shanhe Cauldron, others would only say he was untrustworthy.
He was thinking of controlling the entire Dan Peak, and he could accept this small loss.
Thinking of this, Master Wu clenched his fists, but a smile appeared on his face.
“It's fine, it's just a Medicine Cauldron. Since Jiang Master is in need of a Cauldron, I'll give it to you.”
Hearing this, Jiang Dan smilingly put away the Shanhe Cauldron, then handed it to Qin Xuan from a distance.
“Actually, it was prepared for my Named Disciple. He just arrived at Dan Peak and was worried about not having a suitable Medicine Cauldron. I didn’t expect Master Wu to be so generous as to directly give away the Shanhe Cauldron. Truly very generous.”
Jiang Dan said teasingly. Hearing this, Master Wu, though furious, was helpless.
“Thank you for the Medicine Cauldron, Master Wu. I imagine it will be very convenient to use.”
Qin Xuan said with a smile, putting away the Shanhe Cauldron.
“Go!”
Master Wu could no longer bear it. He angrily flicked his sleeves and led his people towards the Peak.
Watching this scene, Qin Xuan and Jiang Dan smiled even more happily.
After Master Wu left, Qin Xuan bowed to Jiang Dan.
“Thank you, Senior, for stepping in to help.”
Jiang Dan, however, shook his head helplessly at Qin Xuan.
“This matter is my problem. I underestimated the shamelessness of this Master Wu. I didn't expect him to target even you, a new Disciple, just to deal with me.”
Indeed, there was a story!
Qin Xuan's eyes moved, then he looked at Ge Dan beside him.
“Let's talk as we walk. Since you've come to Dan Peak, I'll take you on a tour of Dan Peak and let you understand its situation.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded, and the three of them chatted as they walked up the mountain.
Soon, as they conversed, Qin Xuan gained a better understanding of the situation on Dan Peak.
The nominal Peak Master of Dan Peak was that Five-Rank Peak Alchemist. If he were willing to step forward, it would naturally be peaceful.
However, this Peak Master was engrossed in the Dao of Alchemy and hardly managed the affairs of Dan Peak. As a result, Master Wu, who was also a Five-Rank Alchemist like Jiang Dan, naturally had ideas.
Although he was a newly promoted Five-Rank Alchemist, this Master Wu naturally excluded and suppressed Jiang Dan in various ways, all for the sake of completely controlling Dan Peak.
Although Jiang Dan was stronger in Alchemy than Master Wu, he couldn't withstand Master Wu's more aggressive and domineering nature. Over time, Jiang Dan's faction had weakened considerably.
If it weren't for Ge Dan, who was a 4-Pinnacle Alchemist, Jiang Dan's side might not have been able to hold on.
As a result, Master Wu naturally suppressed Jiang Dan's side in various ways. This time, upon hearing that Jiang Dan had given a token to a Disciple from Lei Yun Peak, he immediately felt he could make a big deal out of it.
So he sent Li Hu to make things difficult for Qin Xuan.
In his opinion, if a new Disciple was made things difficult for, what else could happen?
But to his surprise, this new Disciple was a tough nut to crack, directly suppressing Li Hu and forcing Master Wu to step forward himself.
“So, Young Master, you've suffered an undeserved calamity this time, but the root cause is actually us.”
Hearing this, Qin Xuan immediately smiled.
“It's fine. If it weren't for this matter, I wouldn't have gotten this Medicine Cauldron and Magical Artifact for free. How can it be considered a loss? In the end, it's all a gain.”
After a brief chat, the few of them arrived at the Peak.
At the Peak of Dan Peak was a cluster of houses, and in the distance was a vast herb garden.
“This is where Dan Peak Disciples and Great Masters live, and that over there is the herb garden.”
Jiang Dan said, pointing to the distant herb garden.
Qin Xuan's gaze turned towards it, and he nodded with some surprise.
From here, the scale of the herb garden was quite large.
Not only that, but many of the medicinal herbs inside were extremely precious.
Just by glancing, Qin Xuan saw thousand-year-old medicinal herbs inside.
Not bad, it's a good place.
As agreed before, Qin Xuan could use the medicinal herbs here.
“Where is the Pill Refining Room? Since this is Dan Peak, there must be Earth Vein Fire or even spiritual fire, right?”
Qin Xuan took a deep breath, trying to calm himself as much as possible, and asked the other party faintly.
The Earth Vein Fire was his main focus today. Apart from the Earth Vein Fire, nothing else was his current priority.
“You mean the Pill Refining Room and the Earth Vein Fire? Since it's Dan Peak, of course, these are all available, but they are not at the Peak.”
Ge Dan said with a smile, then he stretched out his hand and pointed underground.
“The Pill Refining Room and the Earth Vein Fire are both within the mountain itself.”
Saying that, Ge Dan made a gesture of invitation towards Qin Xuan.
“Come, I'll take you to see the Earth Vein Fire and the Pill Refining Room.”
The Earth Vein Fire communicated with the underground, and the Pill Refining Room was also inside the mountain, so they were not worried about bringing Qin Xuan in.
Following these two, Qin Xuan arrived at a passage at the Peak.
The passage was paved with bluestone and wound downwards.
Looking at the bluestone passage, Qin Xuan took a deep breath, then strode down, following them.
As the few of them continued to advance, Qin Xuan could feel the surrounding temperature steadily rising.
Feeling the continuously rising temperature, Qin Xuan became even more expectant.
He really wanted to see how powerful the flames below could be.
After about fifteen minutes, Ge Dan and Jiang Dan stopped.
Ahead, two separate tunnels appeared on either side of the main passage.
The tunnels were separated by large bronze doors, but at this moment, the bronze doors were open, and everyone could see the scene inside.
Within the tunnel was a row of Pill Refining Rooms, and rows of apprentices could be seen constantly entering and exiting this tunnel.
