"Master, Master, I’m not a spirit; I was originally a divine artifact. It’s just that your abilities were too poor, so you couldn’t awaken ." The dicine King Cauldron, its body shimring with golden light, rubbed affectionately against her. A cumberso cauldron acting spoiled with Shangguan You—the scene was undeniably awkward.
"HEHEHE." Shangguan You chuckled dryly and took a few steps back, her face full of questions. "Master, Master, have you forgotten? When you were refining dicine in the past, your mindset wasn’t right. It was I who kindly reminded you, allowing you to refine good dicine." The dicine King Cauldron’s voice sounded sowhat aggrieved.
"What? Those words that suddenly appeared in my mind before—were they from you?" Shangguan You’s heart lurched with surprise as she recalled the reminders that had appeared when she failed at refining dicine just monts ago.
She had never been able to find the answer. To think it was the dicine King Cauldron’s doing all along!
"That’s right, it was . At that ti, your Spiritual Energy was weak, and you couldn’t communicate with , so I had to resort to this tactic to help you understand these principles." The dicine King Cauldron twisted its large golden body as it spoke proudly to Shangguan You.
"My Spiritual Power is weak, so why are you talking to now?"
"Master, Master, were you really that silly back then? And so ugly? You’re much prettier now." The childish voice of the dicine King Cauldron rang out again. Suddenly, the golden cauldron transford into a large mirror in front of Shangguan You.
"See, Master? Little Cauldron didn’t lie to you," the smug voice of the dicine King Cauldron reached Shangguan You’s ears. She looked at the mirror that was the transford dicine King Cauldron and rubbed her forehead. So, this dicine King Cauldron isn’t just a simple artifact; it can change shapes too! "What else can you transform into?"
"For now, I can only change into a cauldron and so other non-aggressive things. HEHEHE." The dicine King Cauldron spoke sheepishly, shifting its large mirror-body toward Shangguan You.
Shangguan You looked at her reflection in the mirror: that exquisite face, long, arching eyebrows, and a pair of eyes as clear as spring water, emitting a serene light. Her black hair draped over her shoulders, glowing faintly. Pink lips, a delicate nose, and skin as smooth as alabaster.
Her whole body exuded an enchanting charm. The Spiritual Energy around her was so potent it was almost tangible, captivating others and making it impossible for them to look away. Shangguan You stared dazedly into the mirror, her mind reeling slightly. Even I can’t take my eyes off my own reflection, let alone others.
Since entering Level 5, she could distinctly feel an aura of affinity emanating from her. It naturally drew people in, its charm making it impossible for them to look away.
Shangguan You looked at her reflection. She was now seventeen. After her recent period of conditioning, she had grown noticeably taller and now stood at roughly 168 cm. Additionally, the ’little stead buns’ on her chest had started to develop and were now much larger. Her figure could now truly be described as curvaceous.
As she examined herself from head to toe, a slight smile curled the corners of Shangguan You’s mouth.
"Master, Little Cauldron told you you’re very beautiful, right?" the proud voice of the dicine King Cauldron sounded beside her ear.
"Yes. Little Cauldron, go prepare the pill formulas for the Immortality Pill and the Resurrection Pill. We’re going to refine dicine now," Shangguan You said with a smile, turning her gaze from the mirror as it transford back into the glistening dicine King Cauldron.
"Master, you should be the one to gather those dicinal herbs. I’m just a divine artifact; I haven’t even taken human form. How could I do such things?"
"You can’t do it?" Shangguan You raised an eyebrow.
"Naturally."
"Then how did you fly from Level 4 to Level 5? Go gather them now!" Shangguan You kicked the dicine King Cauldron’s gleaming golden body, sending it flying out the window.
"AH! Master, I’m just a cauldron, not a person! You can’t use a cauldron like a person!" the dicine King Cauldron’s protesting voice drifted in from the window.
Shangguan You closed her eyes, slowly guiding the Spiritual Energy within her body. If I can just refine the Resurrection Pill, I can wake Lin ngjie. But where can I find that dicinal catalyst... "Little Cauldron, have you ever heard of the Undying?" Shangguan You asked the dicine King Cauldron. It was clearly reluctant but was still out there gathering dicinal herbs, now transford into a basket with a pair of scissors attached, snipping herbs and dropping them into itself.
"The Undying? I heard my previous master ntion them. My master left in search of that very thing and never returned."
The Undying... are they deities? Or what kind of people could be called Undying? Shangguan You furrowed her brow. The dicine King Cauldron had a previous master? Then, does this space also belong to soone else?
"My previous master also tried to refine the Immortality Pill, but he didn’t succeed. He even left this place, abandoning here," the dicine King Cauldron’s voice was tinged with sadness.
"Left this place?"
"Yes. In Level 6, there’s a massive Transmission Array. My master left through it. When he departed, everything here, including , fell into a deep slumber, and our connection was severed."
"Transmission Array?"
"Yes."
"What is that?"
"It’s a machine that allows one to shuttle back and forth between several parallel dinsions. My master used it to go search for the Undying. He never returned. After he left through there, I completely lost my connection with him."
Level 6? Shangguan You’s gaze fixed on the tightly shut door, her curiosity deepening. A Transmission Array, the Undying, the Immortality Pill, the Resurrection Pill... what else is in Level 6?
"Master, you’ve already reached Level 5. In this region, you’re practically invincible. There’s no need for you to seek the Undying like my previous master did, searching for sothing that might not even exist." The dicine King Cauldron’s voice was laced with sorrow; it didn’t want to find a new master only for them to leave it too.
Shangguan You used Teleportation to appear on the Purple Lotus. She looked at the face in the Crystal Coffin, so similar to her own, and couldn’t help but crouch down, her hands gently touching the cool surface of the coffin.
Lin ngjie remained unconscious. Shangguan You had tried many thods, but none had awakened her. Now, her only hope was the Resurrection Pill. No matter what, I must find that dicinal catalyst.
