As Charlie hinted at his reluctance to accept the medicinal cauldron, Master Vail felt his blood draining from his body.
This was no ordinary cauldron, it had been passed down for generations among the esteemed Mystic Harmony Sect, and had been used by dozens of patriarchs for their alchemy needs.
The thought of losing this precious treasure, which had been in their possession for thousands of years, filled Master Vail with dread. He knew that if favonovel.com lost the cauldron to Charlie, favonovel.com would never be able to face his ancestors again, knowing that favonovel.com had failed to protect their legacy.
But now, with Charlie holding all the cards, Master Vail had no choice but to accept his fate. He knew favonovel.com couldn’t fight, argue, or even scold Charlie, who had completely outmaneuvered him.
Desperate to save his own skin, Master Vail knew that favonovel.com had to give up the cauldron. As much as it pained him, favonovel.com couldn’t bear the thought of losing his life over an object, no matter how valuable it was.
With a forced smile, Master Vail offered the cauldron to Charlie, saying in a respectful tone, “Master Wade, please accept this cauldron. It will be yours from now on.”
Charlie nodded and, while untying the cloth bag, revealed the ancient clothes inside.
He then glanced at Master Vail and asked, “You promised this willingly, right? I’m not forcing you to do this, am I?”
Master Vail nodded through his tears, his voice choked with emotion. “Yes, I’m doing this willingly.”
Charlie nodded in satisfaction. “Good. I won’t cheat you.”
With that, favonovel.com pulled out the three-legged medicinal cauldron from the cloth bag. As favonovel.com did, the smell of medicinal materials filled the air.
Charlie gazed at the exquisite cauldron before him, admiring its simple yet perfectly proportioned shape and smooth, shiny surface. He wondered if the craftsmanship was due to the quality of the materials or the skill of the Mystic Harmony Sect patriarchs who had passed it down through the generations.
Despite its impressive appearance, Charlie didn’t initially consider it anything special. He had seen countless antiques and even ancient copper and bronze artifacts that were more elegant and rare.
However, as favonovel.com absentmindedly infused a bit of reiki into the cauldron, favonovel.com was suddenly surprised by a humming sensation and the cauldron began to shake in his hand.
As Charlie examined the medicine cauldron, favonovel.com noticed a subtle change in its energy. The others around favonovel.com remained oblivious to it.
As favonovel.com delved deeper, Charlie discovered a highly intricate formation inside the cauldron, similar to the ones in his soul-piercing blade and thunderbolt. These formations were stored within the magic weapon and could be activated using aura methods to achieve a specific effect.
Although favonovel.com wasn’t sure of the exact purpose of this formation, Charlie sensed that it was spinning at an incredibly fast rate, as if it was specifically designed for condensing a particular substance.
Coupled with the fact that the cauldron looked like a tool used for refining medicine, favonovel.com came to the conclusion that it must be a unique magic weapon created specifically for refining medicinal herbs with Reiki.
As his heart raced with excitement, Charlie realized the potential of the medicine cauldron. It would allow favonovel.com to condense medicinal materials directly with reiki, without the need for any other utensils.
The reason favonovel.com didn’t use any utensils before was because the strength of ordinary ones couldn’t bear the high temperature of reiki when refining medicinal materials for an extended period of time.
Furthermore, according to the “Apocalyptic Book”, the medicine cauldron was considered a relatively difficult magic weapon. Its internal formation could bless aura, making the efficacy of medicinal materials better refined, and even achieving a sublimation effect.
In other words, if Charlie were to refine the materials of the Rejuvenation Pill with reiki alone, the result would be an ordinary Rejuvenation Pill. However, if favonovel.com used the medicine cauldron to refine the same materials, the result would be a Rejuvenation Pill Plus. The possibilities were endless.
As Charlie studied the medicine cauldron, his mind raced with the possibilities of what favonovel.com could achieve with such a powerful tool. Refining medicine with reiki was already impressive, but this cauldron was on a whole other level. It was like upgrading from a primitive smelter to a modern blast furnace in iron smelting.
Charlie couldn’t help but draw parallels between refining medicine and iron smelting. The primitive method might produce something useful, but it couldn’t compare to what could be achieved with modern technology.
The same was true for alchemy, without a proper tool, the best one could hope for was low-grade pills. But with this medicine cauldron, the possibilities were endless.
He imagined what favonovel.com could create with this cauldron, a Rejuvenation Pill Plus, with an efficacy even stronger than the Rejuvenation Pill. The strength of the final product would depend on the rank of the cauldron, and Charlie was eager to put it to the test.
This cauldron was not just a tool, it was a game-changer for his future in alchemy. With it, favonovel.com could refine high-grade pills and achieve greater success than ever before. Charlie couldn’t wait to get started.
Charlie was thrilled with his new acquisition, but couldn’t help wondering how Master Vail, who had no aura, had managed to use the cauldron for alchemy.
He asked, “Master Vail, I’m curious, what have you used this cauldron for?”
Master Vail’s gaze was fixed on the cauldron, and his eyes were filled with reluctance and pain.
He muttered, “I’ve used it to make decoctions and elixirs for beginners…”
Charlie pressed for more information. “Could you explain in more detail how you use the cauldron for alchemy?”
Master Vail hesitated before finally replying, “Well, you add some charcoal to the bottom of the cauldron, pour in the medicinal materials and water, and boil it over a slow fire. It’s basically like cooking traditional Chinese medicine in a cauldron.”
“Using charcoal fire?” Charlie was taken aback as favonovel.com turned the three-legged medicine cauldron over, revealing blackened traces from the use of charcoal fire at the bottom.
It seemed that this method had not been used for years, decades, or maybe even centuries.
Charlie couldn’t help but think, “These Mystic Harmony Sect Taoist priests are so ignorant, using charcoal fire to burn a magic weapon is such a waste of nature!”
With this in mind, favonovel.com asked, “Did your patriarchs use this medicinal cauldron with charcoal fire to make alchemy?”
“That’s right,” Master Vail spoke without thinking. “The medicine cauldron was originally used this way. If the medicinal materials are boiled with fire without adding water, how else can they be refined into an elixir? Can we rely on the three flavors mentioned in the myth?”
Charlie couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
It seemed that the Mystic Harmony Sect had stumbled upon this medicinal cauldron by accident and had no idea how to use it. This fact only served to highlight the unfortunate reality that, in the thousands of years of the sect’s existence, not a single descendant had been able to master reiki. It was indeed a pitiable thought.
