Chapter 919: Buying a Cauldron

Chapter 919: Buying a Cauldron


"Yes, you can temper your body in a cauldron if it"s large enough to fit your body. Although I have never done it personally, I have heard of people doing that before, and they claim that it has a better effect than a bathtub since cauldrons are specifically made for medicine." w.a.n.g Xiuying confirmed.


"I"m more interested in the fact that I can carry the cauldron with me, which will allow me to temper my body wherever and whenever I want." Yuan said.


"Alright, I will get a cauldron."


"Great! Then let"s head to the sixth floor. The cauldrons on this floor are too small, same with the cauldrons on the next floor." w.a.n.g Xiuying said as she made her way towards the staircase.


Sometime later, they arrived on the sixth floor.


"The cauldrons on this floor don"t appear to be big enough to fit my body, either." Yuan said.


In fact, most of the cauldrons on this floor are only large enough to fit a few watermelons, not an adult body.


"That"s because these cauldrons can change their size to become bigger or smaller. They"re small on display only to save s.p.a.ce." w.a.n.g Xiuying said.


"Oh… How big can they get?"


"Well, it depends on the quality of the cauldron. Some cauldrons can become as big as an entire house," she said.


"Why would anyone want such a big cauldron?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.


"If you"re skilled enough, you can concoct more than one pill at a time. The bigger cauldrons are for those who like to concoct pills in batches, but that is easier said than done. Compared to my Master, who can concoct over 100 pills at once, I can only concoct about 10 pills."


"Anyways, go look around. Since you"re my friend, I can probably get you an amazing discount." w.a.n.g Xiuying winked at him.


Yuan nodded and began walking around the room.


There were over 100 different cauldrons on display, each of them with a unique shape and color.


Meanwhile, news of w.a.n.g Xiuying having a boyfriend began spreading throughout the sect like a wildfire.


"Have you heard? Senior apprentice-sister w.a.n.g brought her boyfriend to the Alchemy Store!"


"No way! She"s taken?! Since when?! Who is the lucky b.a.s.t.a.r.d?!"


"n.o.body knows, but he wasn"t wearing our uniform, so he might not be part of our sect."


The more people spread the news the more exaggerated and chaotic it became.


"What?! Senior apprentice-sister w.a.n.g"s fiance is spending time with her fiance?!"


"Hey! You know what I heard? Senior apprentice-sister w.a.n.g is shopping at the Alchemy Store with her dao companion!"


Disciple Gu eventually got hold of the news, and he immediately began speeding towards the Alchemy Store.


"That b.a.s.t.a.r.d was her dao companion?! Impossible!"


Back at the Alchemy Store, w.a.n.g Xiuying gave Yuan some recommendations.


"How about this Cauldron of Radiance? Oh, this Nine Oracle Cauldron looks very good, as well!"


Yuan smiled and said, "Does it really matter which one I get? I am only using it to temper my body, after all."


"Of course, it matters! Higher quality cauldrons can make them last longer, and some can even enhance the strength of the medicine!"


Hearing her words, Yuan turned to look at the price tag for some of these cauldrons.


[Cauldron of Radiance: 5,000,000 spirit stones]


[Nine Oracle Cauldron: 7,500,000 spirit stones]


"Do you think I am made out of money? There"s no way I can afford these even with a 50 percent discount! And why the h.e.l.l are cauldrons so dang expensive?!" Yuan exclaimed.


He already has a 5 million spirit stone debt under Feng Yuxiang, so there was no way that he could afford these for now, unless he sold the Gu Family"s treasures.


"Alchemy is an expensive career, but it will also earn you a lot of money if you"re competent." Feng Yuxiang shrugged.


After looking around the whole room, Yuan found the cheapest cauldron on sale, but even that was worth 1 million spirit stones.


"Stainless Cauldron, huh. Are you sure? I will get the Elder now if you have decided."


Yuan nodded.


"Alright, give me a moment." w.a.n.g Xiuying left his side and went to one of the Elders working there.


"Elder, my friend would like to purchase a cauldron." w.a.n.g Xiuying said.


The Elder nodded, "The Stainless Cauldron, correct? It will cost 1,500,000 spirit stones because he"s not a disciple of our sect."


"What?! I was actually hoping that you"d give him a discount…" w.a.n.g Xiuying exclaimed.


"I"m sorry, Disciple w.a.n.g, but this is the sect"s rule. It"s not something that I can change w.i.l.l.y-nilly."


"In case you forgot, I am one of only four people in the entire sect that can concoct Tier 3 pills with over 95 percent purity, and I have helped the sect concoct thousands of them! That"s worth at least a few hundred thousand spirit stones, yet I never asked for any reward! If I ask my Master, she would definitely give it to me for free! However, I don"t want to bother her, so I am asking you to give him a discount instead."


"He is a very important friend of mine, I hope you don"t embarra.s.s me infront of him."


"I-I"m really sorry, Disciple w.a.n.g. I really want to help you and your friend, but I am a mere Elder. I don"t have the authority to make such a decision…"


"Then I will stop concocting pills for the sect." w.a.n.g Xiuying suddenly said with a rebellious look on her face, shocking the Elder.


"And when the sect asks why, I will tell them exactly why."


Seeing w.a.n.g Xiuying"s stubbornness, the Elder felt like crying.


"P-Please, have mercy, Disciple w.a.n.g!"


The Elder eventually gave up and said, "I will get the manager… He has enough authority to make a decision."


"Okay." w.a.n.g Xiuying didn"t say anything else and returned to Yuan.


"What happened? Where"s the Elder?" Yuan asked her when she returned alone.


"He"ll be here soon," she said with an innocent look on her face.
