Then again, Li Taixuan and Lin Xiao were left alone in the Furnace Hall. Recalling the conversation with Shan Chengfeng, Li Taixuan felt extremely embarrassed that he dared not look Lin Xiao in his eyes. He apologized, eyes downcast, "Martial...Martial Uncle, I'm sorry, I..."
Lin Xiao appeared rather unconcerned and said, "That's okay. I know where you come from. Truth be told, that old geezer was right as far as it went. With the fire crystal stones alone the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs won't come out. But I have a secret spiritual weapon to make that happen."
"Ah?" Li Taixuan lifted his head in amazement only to see Lin Xiao look at him with a smile, holding an iridescent stone in his hand.
"This is..." Li Taixuan exclaimed with admiration, with sparkles flashing across his eyes and twitches appearing on his lips.
Albeit nearly ignorant about alchemy, Li Taixuan was fairly informed about spiritual weapon refinement. Though his knowledge in this regard was no comparison with that of Lin Xiao, he happened to know something about the stone in Lin's hand.
That was the multicolored spiritual radiant stone — the best material for weapon refinement. It would not only help successfully produce weapons but also improve the quality of the spiritual weapons.
"Well... Martial Uncle, where did you get the multicolored spiritual radiant stone?" Li Taixuan stumbled over his words.
Assuming that Li Taixuan didn't know stones of this kind, Lin Xiao felt somewhat relieved on seeing Li's reaction. Knowing there is no need to have much ado, Lin Xiao said with a slight smile, "Esteemed Patriarch, do you still register the Wonderland I just came out of?"
Of course, it still registered with Li Taixuan. On hearing that, Li Taixuan had a wave of quivers running through his body and thought to himself, "Does this stone come from the Wonderland?"
Lin Xiao went on, "This multicolored spiritual radiant stone was right from there. Esteemed Patriarch, there was a lode teeming with this type of stones beneath the Wonderland, if..."
"What? A...A lode!" Li Taixuan cut in with a high-pitched voice. He managed to stand back on his own feet after a minute of trembling.
A multicolored spiritual radiant stone sufficed to blow him away. Hence it was terribly fortunate that he managed a narrow escape from a sudden heart stoppage on hearing the existence of a lode full of these stones.
"Ah...Hahaha...God save our sect, God does save our sect." Li Taixuan was so thrilled that he began to quiver nonstop. A prestigious patriarch of a sect as he was, Li Taixuan started to weep.
Letting him be, Lin Xiao lifted his hand and cast the multicolored spiritual radiant stone into the furnace. Then the prior dull-red flames got brightened up straight away, and strikingly mesmerizing spiritual flames came forth.
Albeit tiny as it was, the multicolored spiritual radiant stone was surprisingly powerful. The Furnace Hall became scorching and the substance in the furnace started to roll and foam.
"Martial Uncle, why is that..." Li Taixuan asked after he was struck back to senses by the sudden change. Looking at the bottom of the furnace, he was overwhelmed by grief — the stone was a premium material for spiritual weapon refinement, what a waste it was to toss it into the mess of the fire crystal stones.
"The multicolored spiritual radiant stones could be used for spiritual weapon refinement as well as elixir production. Then it will only take two hours for the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs to materialize," Lin Xiao explained.
In fact, Lin Xiao didn't want to wastefully use this hard-won multicolored spiritual radiant stone. However, he had no option but to employ it in the production when he found his cultivation didn't suffice to utilize the multicolored spiritual flames.
On hearing what Lin Xiao said, something suddenly rang a bell to Li Taixuan — the matter of another couple of the Martial Law Gestation Elixirs was yet to be addressed.
