Chapter 5217
As Charlie hinted at his reluctance to accept the medicinal cauldron, Master Vail felt his blood drainingfrom his body.
This was no ordinary cauldron, it had been passed down for generations among the esteemed MysticHarmony 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 ofyears, filled Master Vail with dread. He knew that if he lost the cauldron to Charlie, he would never beable to face his ancestors again, knowing that he 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 knewhe couldn’t fight, argue, or even scold Charlie, who had completely outmaneuvered him.
Desperate to save his own skin, Master Vail knew that he had to give up the cauldron. As much as itpained him, he 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, “MasterWade, 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 dothis, 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, he pulled out the three-legged medicinal cauldron from the cloth bag. As he did, the smell ofmedicinal materials filled the air.
Charlie gazed at the exquisite cauldron before him, admiring its simple yet perfectly proportioned shapeand smooth, shiny surface. He wondered if the craftsmanship was due to the quality of the materials orthe 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 seencountless antiques and even ancient copper and bronze artifacts that were more elegant and rare.
However, as he absentmindedly infused a bit of reiki into the cauldron, he was suddenly surprised by ahumming sensation and the cauldron began to shake in his hand.
As Charlie examined the medicine cauldron, he noticed a subtle change in its energy. The othersaround him remained oblivious to it.
As he delved deeper, Charlie discovered a highly intricate formation inside the cauldron, similar to theones in his soul-piercing blade and thunderbolt. These formations were stored within the magic weaponand could be activated using aura methods to achieve a specific effect.
Although he wasn’t sure of the exact purpose of this formation, Charlie sensed that it was spinning atan 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, he came to theconclusion that it must be a unique magic weapon created specifically for refining medicinal herbs withReiki.
As his heart raced with excitement, Charlie realized the potential of the medicine cauldron. It wouldallow him to condense medicinal materials directly with reiki, without the need for any other utensils.
The reason he didn’t use any utensils before was because the strength of ordinary ones couldn’t bearthe 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 relativelydifficult magic weapon. Its internal formation could bless aura, making the efficacy of medicinalmaterials 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 resultwould be an ordinary Rejuvenation Pill. However, if he used the medicine cauldron to refine the samematerials, 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 he could achievewith such a powerful tool. Refining medicine with reiki was already impressive, but this cauldron was ona whole other level. It was like upgrading from a primitive smelter to a modern blast furnace in ironsmelting.
Charlie couldn’t help but draw parallels between refining medicine and iron smelting. The primitivemethod might produce something useful, but it couldn’t compare to what could be achieved withmodern 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 he could create with this cauldron, a Rejuvenation Pill Plus, with an efficacy evenstronger than the Rejuvenation Pill. The strength of the final product would depend on the rank of thecauldron, 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, he couldrefine high-grade pills and achieve greater success than ever before. Charlie couldn’t wait to getstarted.
Charlie was thrilled with his new acquisition, but couldn’t help wondering how Master Vail, who had noaura, 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.novelbin
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 foralchemy?”
Master Vail hesitated before finally replying, “Well, you add some charcoal to the bottom of thecauldron, pour in the medicinal materials and water, and boil it over a slow fire. It’s basically likecooking traditional Chinese medicine in a cauldron.”
“Using charcoal fire?” Charlie was taken aback as he 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, usingcharcoal fire to burn a magic weapon is such a waste of nature!”
With this in mind, he asked, “Did your patriarchs use this medicinal cauldron with charcoal fire to makealchemy?”
“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 anelixir? 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 andhad no idea how to use it. This fact only served to highlight the unfortunate reality that, in thethousands of years of the sect’s existence, not a single descendant had been able to master reiki. Itwas indeed a pitiable thought.
