"Boom"
With a loud bang, a wide clearing in the forest in the Ginseng Spirit Realm suddenly shook violently as if an earthquake had struck.
At this moment, in the sight of the people present, a cyan-gold medicine cauldron that was three zhang tall stood majestically in front of them, like a small mountain.
The towering cauldron cast a huge shadow in the sunlight, completely engulfing the figures of the group.
The sudden darkness, combined with the reflection of sunlight, caused the Elder Luo them to squint within seconds, afraid to look up at the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared before them.
After a few breaths, when the three of them looked closely, what stood in front of them was a huge medicine cauldron.
Upon seeing this, the three men's eyes narrowed slightly. Luo Jin's eyes also revealed a hint of surprise. He had seen the medicine cauldron in front of him before, but he hadn't mentioned it to Elder Luo. He wondered what Xiao Yan's intention was in taking it out again now.
Upon seeing the enormous medicine cauldron before them, Elder Luo Elder Luo and Qing Mu were both secretly shocked. They exchanged glances, and when they saw the cauldron clearly, a look of astonishment immediately appeared on their aged faces.
Although Elder Luo is a weapon refiner who usually only refines weapons, he also has some knowledge of refining medicine cauldrons. Although the two have different properties, the refining methods are similar.
Moreover, especially for items with unique crafting techniques, craftsmen can gain new insights from them.
The imposing medicine cauldron before him was immediately recognized by Elder Luo; it was the one ranked second on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking...
" The Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron! This... this is... the second-ranked Heavenly Cauldron Ranking... the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron!"
Looking at the massive cauldron before them, which resembled a small mountain, Elder Luo and Qing Mu were utterly astonished. They could hardly believe that the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron, ranked second on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, would actually appear in Xiao Yan's hands.
If this news gets out, the troubles Xiao Yan will face in the future will probably be dozens of times more difficult than they are now.
With this in mind, the two old men immediately showed a solemn expression.
The Heavenly Cauldron Ranking —leaving aside the ranking of the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron, just considering the medicine cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking alone, these are the coveted items of every alchemist on the continent.
In the hearts of alchemists, the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking carries a weight no less than that of the Heavenly Flame Ranking. In fact, some alchemists believe that the cauldrons on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking are just as valuable as the Heavenly Flames.
Some alchemists would spend their entire lives searching for a single medicine cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, yet they never imagined that such a world-shaking treasure would exist in the young Xiao Yan!
"Young man, this thing has been extinct on the mainland for countless years. I never imagined it would fall into your hands now. I wonder if this is a blessing or a curse!"
Elder Luo looked at Xiao Yan with a solemn gaze and spoke in a serious tone, his words filled with a warning to Xiao Yan.
While the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron is indeed the second-ranked supreme medicine cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, it is precisely because of this that the trouble it brings to Xiao Qin will be endless. Once the news that Xiao Yan possesses the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron spreads, then all the alchemists on the entire continent will probably be shaken!
After all, the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking is not just something to be trifled with!
Upon hearing Elder Luo's words, Xiao Yan nodded solemnly. How could he not know that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime"? Since he already possessed the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron, he had naturally already considered the worst possible outcome.
However, he was not worried. At least for the foreseeable future, he was confident that he could keep the medicine cauldron in his hands!
Now that he has the medicine cauldron, Xiao Yan won't give it up easily!
Seeing the solemn expression on Xiao Yan's face, Elder Luo couldn't help but nod, his brows furrowing slightly as he warned Xiao Yan:
"Remember this in the future, try to take this out as little as possible. If someone finds it, you'll be in trouble."
Xiao Yan nodded again. He understood the reasoning behind this. Before he had the strength to protect the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron, he could only keep it hidden away in his Storage Ring for the time Luo Heavenly Cauldron.
After giving a couple more reminders, Elder Luo finally focused his attention on the Luo Heavenly Cauldron before him. He had only glanced at it briefly earlier, so he didn't get a very clear and detailed look at the cauldron in front of him.
When Elder Luo looked closely at the medicine cauldron in front of him, he immediately noticed something amiss.
"Hiss..."
Elder Luo's eyes narrowed, and he couldn't help but gasp, his expression filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Under Elder Luo's careful observation, the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron before him was found to be covered in cracks all over its body!
For a medicine cauldron, this is practically equivalent to rendering it unusable!
What's more, the medicine cauldron in front of us is the Luo Heavenly Divine Cauldron Heavenly Cauldron Ranking!
"What... what's going on? Why has the Luo Heavenly Cauldron become like this?"
As a voice filled with utter astonishment fell, his cloudy old eyes immediately turned to Xiao Yan. At the same time, Luo Jin and Qing Mu, who were standing to the side, also shifted their gazes from the medicine cauldron to Xiao Yan.
Faced with this, Xiao Yan could only shrug helplessly, and then told the three people in front of him about the damage to the medicine cauldron.
After Xiao Yan finished explaining, the three of them finally understood why the Luo Heavenly Cauldron had been damaged.
Elder Luo nodded with a hint of regret. It was hard to imagine that Luo Heavenly Cauldron, ranked second on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, would be injured so badly by a Origin King.
However, Elder Luo also knew that such a medicine cauldron had long been able to become one with its owner, and its quality depended most importantly on its owner.
If the master is strong enough, not to mention Origin King, even Origin Emperor Yuan Zong would be unable to destroy it. Conversely, if the master who possesses it is weak, like the previous master Zhou Tong, who was not strong enough and used the Luo Heavenly Cauldron as a shield to withstand the full force of a Origin King- level expert, the result would naturally not be good.
The fact that the Luo Heavenly Cauldron can still maintain its original shape and most of its structure is largely due to Zhou Tong's strength.
Stepping forward, Elder Luo gently stroked the dense, fine cracks on the medicine cauldron with his withered palm. Finally, his thin fingertips stopped on the sword mark where the sword energy had dissipated. Elder Luo frowned, looked at Xiao Yan, and spoke slowly and solemnly.
"Kid, you've really given this old man a hard time this time!"
