CHAPTER 51: CAULDRON RESONANCE

Liu Wei soon convinced himself that it was natural to perceive the foreboding feeling.

He simply had to be ready, by then.

Thankfully, there was the System who assured him.

[It’s fine. I can simply force you to be drowned in debt. However, if possible, you have to face it yourself, as the debt might be unimaginable.]

Liu Wei nodded heavily.

As he was deep in thought, the King interrupted him.

He said, "Don’t worry, Liu Wei. We will keep in contact with you."

As much as he wanted to avoid interrupting Liu Wei in his thoughts, he was eager to leave and study the book.

Liu Wei understood his eagerness as he nodded and said, "Alright. It’s a pleasure to meet you, King. Hopefully, you’ll be able to learn a lot from the book you have borrowed from me. Don’t forget, you can only borrow it for six months.

I’m very sorry if it’s expensive when you can only borrow it."

The King chuckled and waved his other hand, saying in a polite tone, "You are overthinking, Liu Wei. We can always have High-Grade Spirit Stones, but we never had a book that teaches us freedom.

Something we have been seeking for the past millenium.

We are very thankful for that."

Liu Wei smiled.

Liu Wei turned to the Crown Prince and said, "I have to extend my appreciation to you, Jin Zhaoyang as well, for bringing another biggest customer of mine."

The Crown Prince chuckled and replied, "You’re welcome. Like what my father said, we are very thankful for you... for bringing us hope when we doesn’t see the light anymore."

Liu Wei nodded.

He glanced at the King and admired him for a bit.

Instead of saying "I", he always said "We", he really carries the mentality of a king.

He doesn’t lead the kingdom, he leads the kingdom with his nation, especially with his predecessors. He recognizes that without them, without the foundation his predecessors built for him, he would be nothing...

The King gazed at him and smiled, nodding. "We will depart now. We will keep in contact with you, Liu Wei. Don’t worry, we will update you as soon as possible."

Liu Wei smiled and said, "Sure. My door is always open."

The King nodded and glanced at his son.

The Crown Prince nodded and followed him to depart from the library.

...

Once their silhouette finally vanished, Liu Wei dropped his butt to his seat.

He was completely weary.

He slid his buts until the edge of the seat, sitting in a lazy manner, as he closed his eyes and mumbled.

"I don’t know what to feel."

Indeed, his emotions swirled, as though his heart was like a bottomless kaleidoscope.

At first, he was happy... extremely so, knowing he would finally be out of debt and still has remaining... a thousand and a half at that!

Yet, he was now worried and utterly anxious.

Of course, he knew how to handle his emotions.

However, reading and visualizing was completely different than totally experiencing it.

His body knee kept shivering, expressing his chaotic mind.

However, suddenly it stopped.

He took a deep breath and exhaled for quite a while.

He mumbled, "There’s no point dwelling on it now. I still want to learn alchemy, nevertheless."

He smiled bitterly.

Of course, he said what he truly felt.

He had been wanting to learn alchemy now, even aiming to participate in the competition that would occur in less than a month later.

"Cultivating Verdant Cauldron Sutra also dispel my worries as it provides tranquility. Furthermore, I have only finished the Stage 2. For me to perform alchemy better, I must attain the Stage 3 of Verdant Cauldron Sutra."

The Stage 1, Root Cauldron, focused on opening initial meridian points, establishing circulation path, and seeding the cauldron in the lower abdomen.

In other words, planting the roots and continue to water them to grow.

The Stage 2, Kindling the Verdant Flame focused on strengthening digestive or fire aspect and stabilizing organ-tempering.

It was to make the refinement of the herbs inside his body more possible.

Then, the Stage 3, Cauldron Resonance.

It focused on enabling the cauldron to absorb, harmonize, and neutralize the external essence, like herbs or medicinal qi.

Liu Wei then stood up and walked towards the door.

He grabbed the door knob, leading to the alchemy domain, and opened it.

Then, he entered with a smile on his face.

...

To practice the Stage 3, he must find a herb, and then inhale its essence qi through his lungs, filter it in the cauldron, the Verdant Cauldron, and exhale impurities.

At the same time, the purified essence would then transform into a liquid drop, more purified inside the Verdant Cauldron.

Since he was not practicing alchemy yet, he would have to use the liquid drop to strengthen his own qi circulation.

The reason why he wanted to use herbs, as expensive as it appeared, was to improve the speed of condensing liquid essence.

Hence, Liu Wei searched for a herb in the Alchemy Domain.

Of course, using herbs was only optional.

However, since he had the Alchemy Domain, containing many different herbs, he was quite rich to choose this path.

Remembering the words of Master Wen Ruo, sharing his sentiments about using herbs as expensive, he smiled and mumbled.

"It seems I’m richer than you, Master Wen Ruo."

After all, it was known that alchemists were rich.

Without hesitation, Liu Wei randomly chooses a herb.

It was a Green Lotus Leaf.

There was a brief description below the title.

"Balances qi flow and provides gentle vitality fusion."

Liu Wei smiled.

He then sat in front of the pill furnace, sitting in the lotus position and finally practiced the third stage of the Verdant Cauldron Sutra.

The goal of the Stage 3, Cauldron Resonance, was to merge the cultivator’s Verdant Cauldron with external alchemy processes, allowing resonance between inner meridians and the real cauldron...

Hence, if he was able to master Stage 3, his alchemy proficiency would make a breakthrough, ensuring the success of each concoction rather than failures...
