"I-it...it's impossible! H-how can this cauldron in your possession?!" exclaid Snowy, who seemingly had lost her composure several tis today, while glared at the old man sharply.
Although the veil was still covering her face, it couldn't hide her disconcerted looks. Snowy didn't seem aware that her emotion beca more vivid and her breathtaking face colored with various expressions after she unlocked her mories.
The old man chuckled, not minding her vigilant attitude, and then he said, "She entrusted the cauldron to and asked to pass it to the fated one. If you're not that existence, then I might have given this cauldron to the little bird there. Even if she didn't practice alchemy, rely the fire inside the cauldron could make her unrivaled within her generation."
"How can it be...this cauldron was her soulbond true-life treasure... it can't be here, unless..." Her fist clenched hard, and a deep frown appeared on her forehead.
Feng Xue was perplexed by Snowy's strong reaction after seeing the broken cauldron. Despite the fact that she couldn't see the worth of the item due to her shallow cultivation, she was certain that the item held an unbelievable origin otherwise Snowy wouldn't be this shaken.
On the other hand, Rong Hua, who had dabbled in the Grand Dao for the past half-millennium, could peer into the item mystery and instantly flabbergasted by the cauldron's profoundness.
Although the rune on the cauldron's surface had been damaged to a certain degree, Rong Hua could still sense the vast Grand Dao presented by the rune, which, in her opinion, didn't lose to the Spatial Dao taught by the Old Man. She wouldn't be surprised if soone told her that the item didn't co from this world.
If Feng Xue and Rong Hua could only guess the origin of the cauldron, Snowy knew the item like the back of her hand.
The cauldron, Myriad Flas Golden Cauldron, was the first and the longest item that had accompanied her second host, Alchemy Goddess, throughout her journey. At that ti, the cauldron wasn't as illustrious and peerless as today since it was only a profound-rank treasure called Brightfla Bronze Cauldron.
By the system's quest, the cauldron had been upgraded, repaired, and reforged several tis using many rare tals, including the elusive Divine Pristine Gold, resulting in a near-indestructible body that capable of defending against devastating attack of godly armies or even divine beasts.
The cauldron's inborn fla also evolved several stages, from a asly Bright Fla into a Myriad Fla that grew stronger by devouring another Immortal Fla. Any fla could only beco a flickering fire before its presence.
Although Alchemists were highly respected in most of the cultivator's society, there were many people who believe that it was only because of their expertise in making any kind of dicines and elixirs and not because of their battle prowess.
So cultivators even disdain them because of their preconception that alchemists were depending only on their reputation and big na to scare people but actually a paper-tiger in combat.
These notions were flipped around by the ti Alchemist Goddess had successes to refine her cauldron to the apex. There were many cases in where the goddess made a reversal in a disadvantageous battle by using the power of the cauldron.
She even left unscathed when she had a showdown with Sword Fairy, whose attainnt in Sword Dao had reached Sword God level. This event had stirred commotion across the Heaven Plane at that ti.
Sword Dao was publicly acknowledged as the supre among offensive-oriented Dao, the phrase "Cutting a steel like a butter" wasn't rely an exaggeration. Even if they had nine lives, they still could perish if they were facing soone with high attainnt in Sword Dao.
Yet, the Alchemist Goddess, an alchemist, could survive unhard after the battle. These results made the public viewed the alchemist in a new light and hailed the Alchemist Goddess as the pioneer of the new path for Alchemist, Battle Alchemist. Little did they know, the Myriad Fla Golden Cauldron was actually the main contributor to the Goddess' success.
The combination of the impenetrable tal body and a fla that could burn gods and immortals to ashes caused everybody to think twice to ss with Alchemist Goddess. Even the ruler of heaven, Jade Emperor, acted cordially whenever he t the Goddess.
In fact, the mightiness of Myriad Flas Golden Cauldron alone was enough for her if she wanted to vie for heaven plane's supremacy. Alas, Alchemy Goddess was far too gentle and uncompetitive, she prefered making more friends than adding adversaries. Despite that, many of the top godly cultivators acknowledge her as one of the top experts across the Mortal and Heaven Plane.
Snowy's knowledge about the cauldron's fearsoness was the reason for her shock and uncertainty. The fact that the cauldron showed up in front of her in a horrible state invoked a bad on about the Goddess' fate.
Soulbond treasure and weapon were practically an eternal companion for a cultivator. If the owner didn't give permission, only by killing the owner or severing their soul could soone take over the weapon or treasure.
The Alchemy Goddess was soone who valued sentint and feeling highly, she even considered the cauldron as her family rather than a tool, so, it was only to her successor she might willingly hand the cauldron over.
Snowy glanced at the old man again and shook her head.
This most likely wasn't the case because there wasn't any fragrance of dicinal ingredients that usually lingered around an alchemist in the old man's body.
Another probability was the old man actually the goddess' enemy and the one who forcefully seize the cauldron. But, she quickly dismissed this idea due to a lot of reasons that indicate otherwise.
If he had seized the cauldron forcefully, then why did he hand the cauldron to Snowy, which indirectly ans handed it back to the Goddess?
If he was the Goddess' enemy then he might be her enemy too, so why did he help Feng Xue and her? If he wanted to take advantage of her, he could do it from the beginning.
Snowy pondered several probabilities but no matter how hard she thought, she always arrived at one conclusion which she reluctant to accept.
"I-is she already...?"
