5: Chapter 5: How do I use this immortal cauldron?

The lottery wheel spun continuously, accompanied by the crisp sound of metal clashing, as Medicinal Pills, equipment, and Talismanic Incantations were drawn out one after another!

But as he kept pulling, Jiang Lan's eyebrows furrowed into a " river" shape, and he vaguely felt something wasn't quite right in his heart!

He had already spent hundreds of thousands, yet he hadn't drawn a single Supreme item, not even one worth looking at!

Jiang Lan took inventory: there were eight Cultivation Techniques—three fire, two water, and one each of earth, wood, and metal.

However, the Cultivation Techniques were all low-tier, belonging to introductory techniques that could only be practiced during the Qi Refinement Stage.

Over five hundred Talismanic Incantations, without exception, were all Low Grade Talismanic Incantations: "Lightning Strike Talisman," "Fireball Incantation," "Wood Shield Talisman"...

Talismanic Incantations did not require consuming Spiritual Qi and could be cast instantly.

But Low Grade talismans could only be used in combat during the "Qi Refining Early Stage" and "Qi Refining Middle Stage"; once reaching the "Qi Refining Late Stage," they were basically equivalent to scrap paper.

There were also over a thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones and three weapons.

A Qinggang Sword, a Great Blade, and a Taiji Fan, all of which were Medium Grade weapons for the Qi Refinement Stage.

"Just this? I spent hundreds of thousands just for this? Game developer, I * your * *!"

Jiang Lan affectionately greeted every member of the game developer's family.

Suddenly! Over the "Ancient Desolate Secret Realm," black Spiritual Qi clouds churned, and lightning, like ghost claws, tore through the clouds, emitting a massive "rumbling" sound!

Before long, the Void Realm above the "Ancient Desolate Secret Realm" was forcibly torn open, and a bronze square cauldron ripped through the air, emitting a metallic "humming" vibration, and smashed fiercely toward Jiang Lan!

"Clang!" A crisp metallic clashing sound rang out as the bronze square cauldron slammed heavily into the "immortal ring" Small World, creating a pit a hundred zhang deep! A visible white shockwave rolled out, stirring up dust and sand!

"Holy crap! This must be the legendary Immortal Artifact, right? After spending hundreds of thousands, I've finally seen something decent!"

In Jiang Lan's past life memories, Immortal Artifacts were extremely rare; there were fewer than ten in the entire "qixian continent" Cultivation World.

Each Immortal Artifact had its own unique characteristics.

Some Immortal Artifacts were weapons; it didn't matter if you were a Foundation Establishment powerhouse or a Golden Core expert, the only word that mattered was: cut!

One strike could unleash a sword light a hundred zhang long; wherever the sword light reached, severed limbs flew, blood splattered, and the air was filled with the metallic, bloody stench of rust!

Some Immortal Artifacts were Formations—once the Formation rose, ten thousand Cultivators would thrive!

The Formation would slowly rotate above the Void Realm, and the combat power of friendly Cultivators within a radius of several thousand li would instantly increase several-fold. For sieging cities or group battles in the wild, they were god-like existences!

Some Immortal Artifacts were defensive. Once the Immortal Artifact was activated, it would instantly prop up a ten-zhang-large immortal power defensive Formation; it didn't matter if you were a Foundation Establishment expert or a Golden Core old monster, you couldn't break the defense at all and could only stare helplessly!

That's right! Immortal Artifacts were just that perverted!

Jiang Lan exerted force with his feet, turning into an afterimage as he stepped into the "immortal ring" Small World!

Jiang Lan circled the bronze immortal cauldron several times. He saw three large characters engraved on the bronze cauldron: "void cauldron."

"Hiss~" Jiang Lan gasped; what exactly was the use of this "void cauldron" Immortal Artifact?

It clearly wasn't an attack-type Immortal Artifact, nor a defense-type, and certainly not a Formation-type!

Then what type of Immortal Artifact was this "void cauldron," and how exactly was it used?

Jiang Lan had no heart to Cultivate in the "Supreme Spirit Gathering Formation" at this moment.

"Creeak!" An ear-piercing metallic grinding sound rang out as Jiang Lan pushed open the door, found a nearby cave, took out the "void cauldron," and began to study it.

"Hiss~ How on earth do you use this cauldron?"

Since it was a cauldron, the most primitive usage was nothing more than cooking food!

Thinking of this, Jiang Lan used Qian Luo's leaky bucket to scoop up a full bucket of snow and poured it into the cauldron.

Suddenly! The snow began to melt, slowly turning into water. Then it began to boil, and finally, it turned into a green liquid.

"This...?" Jiang Lan was stunned!

This "void cauldron" could actually turn snow water into a green liquid!

Jiang Lan wanted to test what this green liquid was actually for. Of course, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to taste it himself; what if it was poisonous?

He opened the game map, wanting to see if there were any low-tier monsters nearby.

Upon looking, there really were some! In a snow forest outside the cave, a pair of "Qi Refining First Layer" Snow Demon Rabbits were foraging, hopping on the snow, making "swish" sounds against the snow and leaving two trails of tiny footprints.

Catching rabbits might be a bit difficult for others, but for Jiang Lan, it was two words: "Professional"!

In his previous life, Jiang Lan had entered the game very late, and his money had been swindled away by Su Yutong.

So, every day after entering the game, he mainly relied on catching rabbits, spirit deer, and spirit foxes, then selling them to the butcher in the novice city in exchange for a few low-tier Spirit Stones to Cultivate.

Jiang Lan was now a "Qi Refining Fifth Layer" Cultivator, and he possessed the "Ancient Desolate Sacred Body" Physique; one step could propel him a hundred zhang!

"Holy crap! Awesome! The "Ancient Desolate Sacred Body" is too awesome! This speed, this feeling, this force! It's simply perfect!"

The "Ancient Desolate Sacred Body," in the ancient era, was also known as the Divine Body!

The Cultivation World had once been dominated by the "Ancient Desolate Sacred Body" for a very long period of history.

After the "Ancient Desolate Sacred Body" reached Major Achievement, one could battle Great Emperors with just their Physical Body! Coupled with physical combat Divine Ability, a Major Achievement Sacred Body could easily kill several Great Emperors within a few breaths!

But in the current post-Cultivation World era where resources were scarce, the "Ancient Desolate Sacred Body" was recognized as a trash Physique!

The reason was simple: the "Ancient Desolate Sacred Body" was truly perverted, but it consumed too many resources. To reach the "Nascent Soul Stage," the resources it consumed to Cultivate were ten thousand times that of an ordinary Cultivator!

In the current post-Cultivation World era where resources were scarce, unless something unexpected happened, the "Ancient Desolate Sacred Body" would be stuck in the "Qi Refinement Stage" for its entire life.

However, Jiang Lan was different; he was an RMB warrior. If resources weren't enough, he'd pay to make up for it! There was no problem that money couldn't solve; if there was, he'd just add more money!

Jiang Lan's calves tensed into a perfect streamlined shape, his feet exerted sudden force, his body turned into a white stream of light, leaving behind several afterimages, as he leaned forward and grabbed fiercely!

"Squeak!" The two Snow Demon Rabbits let out ear-piercing screams as they were grabbed by their ears and lifted up by Jiang Lan.

After returning to the cave, Jiang Lan used a rope to hang the two rabbits upside down, then entered the exciting "feeding medicine" phase.

Jiang Lan pinched open one rabbit's mouth and poured a drop of the green liquid into it!

With just one drop entering its mouth, pure Spiritual Qi suddenly gushed out from the rabbit's mouth, nostrils, ears, and the corners of its eyes!

The rabbit's belly swelled up round like a balloon, and its cultivation level rose rapidly!

"Qi Refining Second Layer"! "Qi Refining Third Layer"!

"Squeak!" The rabbit struggled desperately, broke free suddenly, kicked off the rope, and ran away.

"Holy crap! So magical?"

Not only did the rabbit's cultivation level rise, but its running speed also increased by more than three times!

To confirm it again, Jiang Lan pinched open the other rabbit's mouth and fiercely poured in two drops of the green liquid.

The other rabbit was the same; its belly swelled up like a balloon, and its cultivation level rose rapidly!

"Qi Refining Second Layer"! "Qi Refining Third Layer"! "Qi Refining Fourth Layer"!

Just as it was approaching the "Qi Refining Fifth Layer," "Bang!" A crisp balloon-popping sound rang out, and the rabbit exploded into a mist of blood on the spot!

It seemed the Spiritual Qi concentration of the green liquid was quite pure; it couldn't be consumed too much at once, otherwise, one would explode and die.

Jiang Lan bought a palm-sized "Spirit Liquid Bottle" from the game mall for 188 yuan and poured the remaining green liquid from the cauldron into it.

This "void cauldron" could actually turn snow into green liquid with pure Spiritual Qi; could it be that the "void cauldron" was an auxiliary-type Divine Artifact? Was the true function of the "void cauldron" to reinforce items?

Holy crap! If the "void cauldron" could really reinforce items, that would be too Heaven-Defying!

With a trial-and-error mindset, Jiang Lan placed a low-tier Cultivation Technique, "Rock Armor Technique," into the "void cauldron."
