The Cauldron Arrives!!!
In the car Julian thinking...
Fortunately, the recipe for the Nine Way Cleansing Elixir is a rare treasure!
The afternoon sunlight stretched across the highway like flowing gold. Vehicles passed one after another, their shadows sliding over the asphalt as Julian D’Aurelius sat behind the wheel, one hand resting casually on the steering wheel while the other tapped lightly against the door.
His black hair shifted slightly whenever the air conditioner blew across his face. Behind the windshield, his golden eyes remained calm and focused on the road ahead.
Yet his mind was nowhere near the traffic.
It was entirely occupied by the recipe he had just obtained.
Fortunately, the recipe for the Nine Way Cleansing Elixir was no ordinary inheritance.
Even among the countless treasures recorded within the Miracle Medicine Record, it was something exceptionally valuable.
After obtaining the recipe, Julian discovered a problem.
The recipe clearly stated that a person could only consume three Nine Way Cleansing Elixirs in their lifetime.
Three.
No more.
After taking three pills, any additional pills would become completely ineffective.
The limitation was unfortunate, but Julian understood the reasoning.
A treasure capable of dramatically improving cultivation and strengthening one’s foundation couldn’t possibly be used without restriction.
If people could consume them endlessly, the world would have descended into madness long ago.
Julian sighed softly.
"What a waste."
His fingers drummed against the steering wheel.
Even so, three pills were already an incredible blessing.
Most people would never even see such a treasure in their entire lives.
Moreover, gathering the various herbs required by the recipe is quite troublesome.
Julian mentally reviewed the ingredients listed within the recipe.
Some herbs could be bought.
Others required connections.
A few were so rare that ordinary people wouldn’t even recognize their names.
Fortunately, he wasn’t completely helpless.
Now, that person had become Senior Miracle Doctor Ravenswood.
Just thinking about the old physician made Julian relax slightly.
Senior Miracle Doctor Ravenswood possessed enormous influence throughout the Ancient medicine community.
If anyone could help gather the ingredients within a reasonable amount of time, it was him.
Otherwise, Julian might spend months searching for some of the rarer materials.
Besides collecting herbs, Julian also needed to get an alchemy Cauldron.
This is another hassle, as the quality of the Cauldron determines the success rate of alchemy.
Why is this important?
Don’t ask; it’s just the setting of a feel-good novel.
Julian almost laughed aloud after thinking that.
The logic was ridiculous.
Yet he had already accepted long ago that many things in this world followed strange novel-like rules.
Trying to question every detail would only give him a headache.
"Shitty System, where’s the reward this time?"
The familiar voice quickly responded.
"Ding, the host has successfully survived the plot. Reward: one Dragonforge Cauldron. Would you like to claim it now?"
The system’s cold voice echoed.
Hearing the reward, Julian’s lips twitched.
He couldn’t help feeling suspicious.
The timing was too perfect.
First the recipe.
Then the ingredients problem.
Now the Cauldron.
Everything seemed arranged in advance.
"This damn Tyrant System..."
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"It definitely planned this."
The system naturally ignored his accusation.
As always.
Just as he was about to agree casually, he suddenly realized that the system added a question about whether to claim it.
His expression froze.
A dangerous thought suddenly appeared in his mind.
He was driving.
Who the hell knows how big the Cauldron is?
The more he thought about it, the more nervous he became.
What if the Cauldron was enormous?
What if it suddenly materialized inside the vehicle?
The image instantly appeared inside his head.
A giant Cauldron dropping into the passenger seat.
The roof exploding apart.
The steering wheel smashing into his chest.
The car spinning several times before crashing into a roadside barrier.
Julian’s mouth twitched.
"...Yeah, absolutely not."
He immediately rejected the idea.
If it turns out to be huge and doesn’t fit in the car after claiming it, wouldn’t he crash and die on the spot?
The more he imagined it, the more reasonable the concern seemed.
After all, this was the Tyrant System.
Trusting it blindly was asking for trouble.
So, to be cautious, Julian told the system to wait.
The system didn’t object.
It simply fell silent.
The rest of the drive passed peacefully.
The city gradually emerged ahead.
Towering buildings reflected the afternoon sunlight while countless pedestrians moved through the streets below.
Julian increased his speed slightly.
He wanted to get home as quickly as possible.
Not because he was impatient.
Absolutely not.
He was merely... curious.
Very curious.
After speeding all the way home, Julian rushed into his room, closed the door, and then asked the system to deliver the reward.
The moment the command was given, a faint ripple spread through the air.
Space itself seemed to distort.
Golden light flickered briefly inside the room.
As a result, when it appeared, Julian found that the alchemy Cauldron wasn’t that big, about the size of a water dispenser.
The room fell silent.
Julian stared.
Then stared some more.
A few seconds later, he let out a long breath.
"This shitty system, scaring me for nothing!"
The complaint echoed throughout the room.
The Tyrant System remained completely silent.
As though pretending not to hear him.
Julian walked around the Cauldron slowly.
The closer he looked, the more impressed he became.
However, the Dragonforge Cauldron was quite heavy.
He placed both hands on it and tried lifting it slightly.
Nothing happened.
Not even a little.
Julian blinked.
Then he used more strength.
The Cauldron finally moved.
Barely.
"Good grief..."
He rubbed his wrist.
"It weighs a ton."
The Cauldron itself possessed an ancient and dignified appearance.
It was intricately carved with patterns of cranes and other exquisite designs, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship.
Every engraving seemed alive.
The cranes appeared ready to spread their wings and soar into the heavens.
Ancient clouds swirled around their bodies.
Mysterious symbols covered the outer surface.
Even without activating it, the Cauldron emitted a faint sense of age and authority.
Julian lightly touched one of the carvings.
The metal felt cold.
Yet beneath that coldness lurked an unusual warmth.
Almost like a sleeping beast waiting to awaken.
"The rewards produced by the system are indeed of guaranteed quality."
He reluctantly admitted it.
The Tyrant System might be annoying.
It might be shameless.
It might occasionally feel like it was trying to kill him.
But its rewards were undeniably excellent.
According to the setting of an urban feel-good novel.
The pinnacle of medical skills is alchemy.
Julian had originally considered such concepts exaggerated.
Then he personally consumed a Nine Way Cleansing Elixir.
After experiencing its effects firsthand, he could no longer deny reality.
The medicinal power wasn’t merely strong.
It transformed the body from the inside out.
It purified.
Strengthened.
Elevated.
Most importantly, it laid a far more stable foundation for future cultivation.
Julian folded his arms while studying the Cauldron.
The room remained quiet.
Outside the window, evening slowly approached.
Golden sunlight faded into orange.
His thoughts drifted toward the people closest to him.
Lina Ashford.
Liza Voss.
The others.
Many of them had already reached impressive levels through their own hard work.
Some were only one step away from another breakthrough.
The Nine Way Cleansing Elixir could become the key that pushed them beyond that barrier.
A faint smile appeared on Julian’s face.
For once, the future seemed rather promising.
No deadly protagonist trying to kill him.
No sudden disaster.
No absurd crisis.
Just cultivation, preparation, and steady growth.
Of course, knowing his luck, such peace probably wouldn’t last long.
Still, he intended to enjoy it while it lasted.
His gaze returned to the Cauldron.
The ancient metal reflected the final rays of sunlight entering through the window.
For a brief moment, the carvings seemed almost alive.
"Speaking of which, Lina Ashford and the others are almost at the mid-Silver Realm level. With three Nine Way Cleansing Elixirs, they should be able to break through to the Gold Realm."
