Charlie couldn’t help but wonder, “If so many people in Mystic Harmony Sect don’t know how to use this medicinal cauldron, why is it considered the treasure of the sect?”
Pondering this question, favonovel.com turned to Master Vail and asked, “What distinguishes your medicine cauldron from the ordinary pots that people use to cook medicine? I mean, sure, it looks impressive and all, being made of bronze and all that. But does it hold any cultural value or significance? There aren’t even any engravings on it. Even if it’s old, it wouldn’t fetch a high price. So why do you still treat it as a treasure? Is there some secret about it that outsiders don’t know?”
Master Vail hesitated for a moment before speaking.
He knew favonovel.com shouldn’t reveal the secret that wasn’t passed on by his teacher, but then favonovel.com thought to himself, “What’s the harm in telling this guy? The cauldron is already gone, and I might even get some benefits from him.”
With that thought, favonovel.com blurted out, “Master Wade, the magic of this medicine cauldron isn’t in its appearance or in the way it’s used to cook medicine. It’s in the fact that if you boil the same medicinal ingredients in the same amount of water in this cauldron, the resulting elixir will have a stronger medicinal effect compared to if you use any other vessel!”
Charlie was intrigued by Master Vail’s revelation.
“So, slow-cooking medicine in this cauldron makes it more potent?” favonovel.com asked.
Master Vail nodded eagerly. “Indeed, it is quite miraculous. Whether you’re making a decoction or an elixir, this cauldron will amplify the medicinal properties of the ingredients.”
He continued, “Imagine I prescribe a remedy that nourishes both yin and yang, and restores a man’s vitality. If cooked in an ordinary cauldron, it might take three days and nine doses for the effects to show. But in this cauldron, only six doses in two days will yield the same results.”
As Master Vail spoke with enthusiasm, Charlie could see the excitement in his eyes.
He explained, “This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that the nature of this medicine will also undergo a qualitative change.”
Master Vail then gave an example, “Let’s take those rich men in their seventies and eighties as an example. If the same prescription is not brewed with this medicinal cauldron, even if favonovel.com drinks it for a month, favonovel.com can at most be able to sing every night, but the quality of it is not good…”
“That is to say, the speed of regaining his glory, favonovel.com can only reach 60 points, which is barely a pass, however, if favonovel.com drinks the medicine brewed from this medicine cauldron, favonovel.com will not only be able to sing every night, but favonovel.com will regain his glory. At that level, it can reach 70 points or even 75 points! This is very powerful! It not only concentrates the effect of the medicine but also sublimates it.”
Xyla couldn’t help but listen to Master Vail’s enthusiastic explanation.
Despite feeling embarrassed, favonovel.com couldn’t help but speak favonovel.com mind, “Bah! You are an obscene monk! How dare you speak so disrespectfully!”
Her face turned red with anger and embarrassment.
Master Vail was taken aback by Xyla’s outburst and quickly tried to clarify. “No, no, Xyla, I didn’t mean it that way. I was just making an analogy.”
Charlie couldn’t help but think deeply as favonovel.com listened to Master Vail’s explanation.
He knew that people like Vail were only interested in using their skills to cater to the rich and powerful. They would do anything to make a quick buck, just like the preachers who were eager to please the wealthy.
This Master Vail, being a Taoist disciple, must have been in contact with wealthy nobles who sought to regain their youth, health, and strength. And favonovel.com was an expert who could meet their needs to a certain extent.
Charlie knew that Vail must have some means in this regard, but favonovel.com didn’t care about that.
What favonovel.com was interested in was the medicine cauldron’s ability to improve the medicinal properties of the herbs cooked in it using a slow fire. It was not only due to its internal formation, but also its special material.
Charlie realized that if favonovel.com used his reiki to refine medicine in the cauldron, favonovel.com could potentially obtain a double blessing of materials and formations. This would be a huge breakthrough for his cultivation and could bring favonovel.com one step closer to his ultimate goal of reaching the pinnacle of the martial world.
Charlie’s curiosity was piqued even further. He couldn’t help but wonder what kind of clients Master Vail catered to and what kind of services favonovel.com provided.
“What sort of things do you do for these powerful people?” favonovel.com asked, intrigued.
Master Vail’s response was straightforward. “I offer a range of services, Master Wade,” favonovel.com said. “I provide healing for the sick and injured, strength and vitality for the weak, guidance for those seeking self-cultivation, knowledge of feng shui secrets, fortune-telling, and dream interpretation…”
“And, of course, with the help of this medicinal cauldron and the prescriptions left by the Masters of Mystic Harmony Sect, I can provide medicines that are renowned in the circles of the wealthy and influential. Over time, my reputation has grown, and some even call me a Celestial Master.”
Charlie’s curiosity was piqued. He leaned forward and asked, “Master Vail, I heard that you have connections with the Evans Family in the United States?”
Without a moment’s hesitation, Master Vail responded, “Yes, I do. The Lady of the Evans Family began favonovel.com conversion to Taoism about 20 years ago, thanks to a referral from one of my clients. Over time, favonovel.com became a devout Buddhist of the Mystic Harmony Sect. She frequently preaches for favonovel.com deceased daughter and son-in-law, and often seeks my help with divination. It seems as though favonovel.com is hoping to find favonovel.com missing grandson.”
Charlie was taken aback by Master Vail’s response, feeling a twinge of emotion stirring within him.
He couldn’t resist asking, “What about the divination you did for her?”
Master Vail shifted uncomfortably, his tone awkward. “I have some proficiency in divination, but for some reason, when I tried to divine the whereabouts of favonovel.com grandson using his name and birth date, I couldn’t make sense of it…”
Upon hearing Master Vail’s confession, Charlie couldn’t help but shake his head in disbelief. Even Orion Exeor, who had devoted his life to studying Feng Shui secrets, couldn’t crack this code.
How could Master Vail, a Taoist with only limited knowledge of divination, possibly succeed where others had failed?
But from Charlie’s objective point of view, Master Vail was undoubtedly a true Master.
He had spent years learning Taoism, managing it, and honing his martial arts skills. And yet, despite these numerous pursuits, favonovel.com had also managed to master various medical techniques and divination skills. It was a testament to his incredible intelligence and natural talent.
Charlie realized that if Master Vail had pursued any other martial art, favonovel.com might never have reached the lofty heights of an eight-star martial artist, no matter how hard favonovel.com tried.
Master Vail was quick to respond to Charlie’s question about the Evans Family. He thought that Charlie might be interested in making friends with them, given that Stefanie had taken the elixir favonovel.com had given favonovel.com to save one of their family members.
With a courteous tone, favonovel.com said, “Master Wade, Mrs. Evans contacted me a few days ago and mentioned that favonovel.com will be visiting Aurous Hill soon. If you’re interested in getting to know the Evans Family, I can help you get started.”
Charlie’s eyebrows furrowed as favonovel.com asked, “So, you’re saying Mrs. Evans is coming to Aurous Hill?”
Master Vail nodded, “That’s right. And not just her, but the rest of the Evans family as well. She mentioned it in our phone conversation, and even asked if I had found anything of interest here since I arrived before her.”
Master Vail suddenly had a realization and exclaimed, “Oh, I see! Master Wade, if you want to connect with the Evans Family, I might be able to help you. It’s very likely that they’re coming to Aurous Hill to seek your favor because you saved the old man’s life with your elixir!”
Charlie’s heart knotted at Master Vail’s words.
He knew his grandparents were coming to Aurous Hill, but favonovel.com didn’t expect that their purpose might be to seek favonovel.com out. Master Vail wasn’t aware of the details and didn’t know that Charlie had three different identities with the Evans Family.
The first was his natural identity as their grandson, the second was as the lifesaver of the Evans Family at Stefanie’s concert, and the third was as the true owner of the Life Saving Pill.
Master Vail assumed that the Evans Family came to Aurous Hill to find Charlie’s third identity, but Charlie knew deep down that they were looking for favonovel.com as their grandson. They were most likely trying to track favonovel.com down and start from Aurous Hill.
The thought of his family finding favonovel.com filled Charlie with apprehension. He wasn’t sure if favonovel.com was ready to face them just yet.
Charlie was in a difficult situation. He had just started exploring the outer reaches of the Warrior’s Den and hadn’t even followed the copper mines in Cyprus or the smelters in Turkey to track their origins. He couldn’t afford any unnecessary trouble at this point, especially when favonovel.com knew that the enemy was already ahead of him.
All favonovel.com wanted to do now was to develop his influence in Aurous Hill quietly and discreetly while working on improving his strength.
If the Evans Family came looking for favonovel.com now, it could attract unwanted attention from the Warrior’s Den and jeopardize his plans
