Inside the room, Snowy silently looked at her spatial ring, which was being fiddled with her finger, for a while before she took the Myriad Flame Golden Cauldron out of it.

Due to her shock, Snowy didn't have a chance to examine the cauldron properly back at the old man's place.

Although Snowy had the item's record from the time she accompanied the Alchemy Goddess, she needed to check it once more in case there was some change in the cauldron after a million years passed or a defect due to its terrible state.

She scrutinized the Myriad Flame Golden Cauldron and carefully read the item's information.

'As expected of Ancient-rank true-life treasure, even though it was currently broken, it still can be considered as one of the top treasures in the Mortal plane.'

With terrifying abilities like Myriad Flame Ember and Golden Cauldron Armor, Snowy basically became the strongest existence in the Eastern Region.

But with her current capability, Snowy estimated that she could only don the cauldron for only 5 seconds at most before her mental strength was thoroughly exhausted.

Of course, if she planned it well, it was enough time to make a preemptive strike, turn the situation around, or land a decisive blow.

That was only its capability in assisting its owner in battle, which was not the item's primary function.

The cauldron's worth was fully shown when it was used for alchemy practice.

The inbuilt Alchemy Array didn't necessarily weaker than a spirit-rank formation performed by a formation king — a stage one level higher than formation grandmaster.

With its boost, a medicine made with this cauldron could contend with a higher grade medicine with a similar purpose.

For example, an Earth-rank pill like Blood Replenishing Pill is meant to treat wounds.

Suppose someone concocted it with Myriad Flame Golden Cauldron in addition to activating the Alchemy Array; in that case, it would be able to even regrow torn limbs and damaged internal organs in a few days when consumed.

Whereas a heaven-rank medicine Flesh-bone Regeneration Pill could only achieve the effect in one or two months.

This was one of the reasons why the godly cultivators' society really respected the Alchemy Goddess.

Her medicine was freakishly effective.

One more ability that made the cauldron to be a true cheat item in alchemy was the Alchemy Simulation ability.

As long as the medicine had been concocted once using the cauldron, the cauldron's owner could perform a simulation even if there wasn't any ingredient available.

Although it wouldn't produce any real medicine, the owner would still retain their comprehension, skill, and knowledge perchance of the medicine creation.

This basically meant that even without resources, someone could advance further in alchemy dao if they had the cauldron.

Many alchemists were definitely going to fight nail and tooth for the precious cauldron if they knew about its existence.

However, these abilities weren't that much enticing when it came to the most important thing about this item.

The Myriad Flame Golden Cauldron was a True-Life Treasure.

A True-life treasure was even rarer than a soul weapon or a weapon with spirit.

Unlike ordinary life treasure, a true-life treasure could ensure the safety of the owner's soul, giving a chance to its owner to live again by rebuilding a new body.

It was similar to the creation given by the old man to Feng Xue but multiple times more formidable.

If Feng Xue's creation allowed her to have a second life, then a true-life treasure could give its owner a third, fourth, or even more chance of rebirth.

That was the reason why Snowy thought that Alchemy Goddess' death was truly incomprehensible.

On the paper, she wouldn't have to face any mortal danger as long as the cauldron didn't instantly be destroyed alongside her body.

'But, the Alchemy Goddess was gone while the cauldron was still intact...'

So, Snowy decided to look at the cauldron in the hope of finding some clues related to her death.

She thought of one of the methods to bond with the cauldron just like what she did with Heavenly Inquisitor Pipe.

If she was an ordinary cultivator, she needed to wait until she became at least a Human Immortal before she could bond with the cauldron.

Fortunately, she was "The System" that once had the cauldron as its vessel until she met Alchemy Goddess and made her its host.

'The mark is still here...'

Snowy sent his spiritual sense into the cauldron and breathed a sigh of relief as she found a trace of a seal on the cauldron's inner layer.

The rune-like seal appeared back when she was transferred to the Alchemist Goddess's consciousness.

It was the only trace of her existence within the cauldron, and right now, the mark would enable her to regain her connection with it once more.
