Vessel of Greed?
This na sounds a bit familiar.
"Why give it that na, is it due to the item’s trait?"
"Try it, and you’ll see."
Dong Dachui seed unwilling to say more, so Han Zhan obediently picked up his wine cup and handed it over.
As soon as Han Zhan’s hand reached the front of the Vessel of Greed, the gray teapot spout suddenly opened, revealing sharp, interlocking white teeth inside.
In one bite, the wine cup was swallowed, accompanied by the sounds of crunching and chewing.
Soon after, two pale red clouds spread across the gray teapot’s body.
This teapot, it actually blushed?!
After waiting a while longer.
Once the red glow faded, the Vessel of Greed returned to its original simple gray appearance, as if nothing had happened.
"As you can see, it can swallow anything."
"And then? That’s it?" Chen Zui and Elder Bing looked on in amazent at this scene.
So that’s what Dong Dachui ant when he said it was useless. Is it really of no use at all?
"With just this ability, you nad it the Vessel of Greed?" Han Zhan glanced at Dong Dachui, this seemingly honest guy wasn’t as straightforward as he appeared.
"You don’t understand, this is called a marketing strategy."
"If I called it the Swallowing Pot or the Storage Pot, would you still want it? You wouldn’t have the slightest interest. But the Vessel of Greed is different — for an item, a striking na can make its ’value’ skyrocket."
Fortunately, the weapon shop in Buried Sword City hadn’t opened yet, otherwise Dong Dachui would be an outright unscrupulous rchant.
Han Zhan could already imagine Dong Dachui naming an axe the Barbarian God Heaven-Opening Axe or a large halberd the Unrivaled Cross and Vertical Halberd, only to find they are Tier Two items upon inspection.
Nevertheless, he still took down the Vessel of Greed.
No matter what, an ability that can swallow anything might have its miraculous uses at so point.
After chatting for a little while longer, Dong Dachui hurriedly took two jars of wine back. He was even more dedicated to the remanufacturing of the Demon Crossing Cloak than Han Zhan.
"The Life and Death Apostle once attacked Buried Sword City, but was repelled by the Abnormal Skeleton Spirit Sword."
"We did not take action, and there were no disturbances in the city."
Elder Bing recounted the events that occurred in Buried Sword City while Han Zhan was away, and Han Zhan nodded.
"Ti is getting tighter for us; the other major forces will definitely make a move against when I’m in Buried Sword City. The distance from here to Fulong City requires ti even for the main force of the Anti-Xia Alliance to provide support."
"Why do they want to make a move against you?" Elder Bing was puzzled.
When did Han Zhan, as a vice alliance leader of the Anti-Xia Alliance, beco so significant a target for the other major forces to take such drastic action?
"Because they suspect I stole sothing from an area that involves the core secrets of the City of Extre Evil," Han Zhan replied.
"Did you really steal it?"
"I don’t know either."
Han Zhan recalled his ti in the Bamboo Forest World; aside from a brief conversation with the green-robed woman Nuannuan, whose divine artifact he still didn’t know, he seed to have left empty-handed.
Yet no matter how he explained, the other major forces probably wouldn’t believe him.
Unless Han Zhan was dissected into billions of pieces before them, thoroughly examined inside and out.
In simple terms, they wanted Han Zhan dead!
"Wait, it seems... I did take sothing."
Han Zhan recalled the silver light Nuannuan infused into him as he was transported away from the Bamboo Forest World.
Could that silver light be the core secret they were after?
"No matter what, they’ve already made a move against you. As far as I know these major forces, once they strike, they never turn back. They won’t stop until their purpose is achieved."
"Prepare the elixir, heal Bai Su, then consu the Sword Remains to complete the Tier Seven breakthrough; ti is of the essence!"
nodded and joined Chen Zui in the queue of processing dicinal herbs.
The Mimosa and Forgetful Grass were both prepared, the other assisting herbs were also prepared in advance by Chen Zui during Han Zhan’s visit to dicine Valley.
Everything was ready; it was now up to Han Zhan to proceed with the elixir crafting.
Han Zhan walked to the open space, summoning the Shennong Cauldron.
At the mont when the Shennong Cauldron ford, its massive size took Elder Bing and Chen Zui by surprise.
They had never seen such a tall pill cauldron, its height almost matching that of an average adult, and as the lid opened, a rich fragrance of elixir wafted out.
"Only a pill furnace refined for dozens, even hundreds of years, retains such a rich fragrance when no elixir is being crafted inside."
"Where did you inherit this alchemy furnace from?"
Elder Bing inquired with so curiosity.
"Shennong." Han Zhan simply replied with two words.
While Elder Bing and Chen Zui were searching their mories for any recollection of this Alchemy Master Shennong, Han Zhan had already begun crafting on his own.
On the pill formula left by Frog, every detail of the crafting process, sequence, dosage, and cautionary points were ticulously docunted.
It was practically a step-by-step guide.
The reason Elder Bing had never succeeded was that ordinary pill furnaces couldn’t fully extract the potential and energy of Mimosa and Forgetful Grass.
Once a single phase went wrong, other phases naturally encountered issues, leading to eventual failure.
Using the Shennong Cauldron, Han Zhan didn’t have to worry about this problem.
Although Han Zhan didn’t use it often, the Shennong Cauldron remained one of the Ten Great Ancient Divine Soldiers, possessing formidable talent abilities.
The Shennong Cauldron had an ability called [Refining Essence and Returning to Truth].
Extracting spiritual power from dicinal herbs was a breeze for it.
Even with materials as divergent as Mimosa and Forgetful Grass, there was no trouble extracting them.
Han Zhan first threw the Mimosa into the Shennong Cauldron.
The tossed Mimosa imdiately transford into a cloud of purple mist, coalescing at the bottom of the Shennong Cauldron.
This purple mist, interspersed with a faint white starlight, looked like a vast purple nebula in the cosmos, magnificent and mysterious.
Next was the Forgetful Grass.
Upon being added to the Shennong Cauldron, intense spiritual power surged within, constantly washing over the small grass that glowed with green fluorescence. Under the spiritual power tidal wave, they gradually rged into a green ocean.
When the green ocean collided with the swirling purple nebula.
It was as if gas had suddenly ignited, large swaths of white light extinguished and spread across the cauldron.
A blazing white singularity erged from the collapsing cloud cluster.
