Chapter 176: Cauldron Upgrade.

Elder Li Huang and Elder Luo Zhen stared at Mo Jian as he spoke.

"What I’m saying is that these two artifacts are going to change the alchemy world. But there are many oversights in your creation." His voice was low and serious.

Elder Li Huang creased her brow and asked, "Young Master, can you tell us these oversights?"

Elder Luo Zhen nodded in agreement. They had taken their time to craft the two artifacts. To them, there was no error or mistake in their creation.

Thus, where was the oversight?

Mo Jian smiled lightly. He knew they wouldn’t believe him until they saw it, and he was ready to show them.

"First, let’s start from the cauldron," he began. "You used the heat-sensing rune to determine the heat temperature. From there, the heat rune determines whether to increase or stop the rising."

"The Cool Rune would cool the temperature when it received a signal from the heat-sensing rune, right?" he asked.

Both Elder Li Huang and Elder Luo Zhen were not surprised that he could pick up the underlying working of the cauldron and nodded.

"Good. I believe this cauldron could only refine a particular group of pills? Right?"

Elder Li Huang nodded. Listening to him, she could already see where this conversation was going but did not speak.

She wanted to hear it from him. They had thought about this problem but did not have a solution to it.

"I know you must have thought of this problem, but since you don’t know how to solve it, you went with this," Mo Jian said, as if knowing what was going on in their minds.

They nodded, surprised by his deduction.

"That’s why I call it an oversight. You know the problem but chose to go around it..." He paused to arrange his thoughts.

"The heat-sensing rune is the core of runes and could only function with heat. That’s where the problem lies."

"You can’t use heat sensing runes to control the effectiveness of the pill-making without an optimal Control Rune. Although I don’t know about pill making, I know there are many nuances that are too complicated for a mere heat-sensing rune to solve."

"Young Master, you’re right," Elder Li Huang said.

"Good. With the Mystic Composition Tray, your pill-making will become a breeze if you solve the issue with cauldron heat."

"Instead of depending on the Heat-Sensing Rune, you use the Control Rune and the Flow Rune."

Control Rune!

Flow Rune.

The two elders were stunned. Especially Elder Luo Zhen. He had been working with runes and he knew a lot of the newly developed runes, but these two were something he had never heard of.

"Don’t worry, these two runes are new runes. You won’t know them. Nevertheless, there are many alternatives in the Mystic Mechanic archives that you can use."

"These two are just the best runes. Just like their names suggest, the Control Runes control other runes, while the Flow Runes control the energy between each rune."

"With the two runes, we can control how the heat-sensing runes work. Let me give you an example."

Quickly, Mo Jian gave them various examples that stunned the two elders.

They could not believe that with two runes, the problem they thought was impossible to solve was easily solved.

Elder Li Huang looked at Mo Jian as if she were looking at a monster. "Y-Young Master... you’re different," she said with a light smile on her face.

Mo Jian was stunned. Before he could ask what she meant, she continued.

"Your knowledge of runes has risen to another level, which is scary."

"Indeed, you are becoming more unfathomable with each passing day," Elder Luo Zhen added with a nod.

Mo Jian did not know how to react to their comment. "What are you talking about? Let’s refine a new cauldron with this modification,"

He said, changing the topic.

The two elders glanced at each other and a knowing smile appeared on their faces.

Quickly, the three went to another room. This was the room where Elder Luo Zhen used to refine the two artifacts.

Without wasting time, Elder Luo Zhen turned to another person as he began to work.

His control over the fire was superb. His grip on the hammer—swift and purposeful.

Three hours later, the new cauldron was ready. Looking at the new cauldron shining brightly under the dim light,

Elder Luo Zhen was full of pride.

"Elder Zhen, your artifact refinement has improved a lot," Mo Jian said with a light smile.

"Ahahaa. What do you think? Young Master, do you expect this old man to remain stagnant? With all the knowledge, if I don’t improve, that would be the greatest shame to my name."

"Enough of your nonsense. Let’s test the cauldron," Elder Li Huang said impatiently.

Mo Jian and Elder Luo Zhen exchanged subtle glances and grinned.

Inside the pill room, the new cauldron was placed at the center.

Mo Jian and Elder Luo Zhen looked at Elder Li Huang as she prepared to refine another Spirit Nourishing Pill.

She took a deep breath, her face etched with anticipation.

Whoosh!

A Qi fire appeared beneath the cauldron and the cauldron glowed.

The spiritual energy gathering runes on the cauldron were activated.

For the Control Rune and Flow Rune to work seamlessly, it needed a small continuous flow of energy.

With the Spiritual Energy Rune providing the energy needed, the Control Rune took action.

All the runes began to work, communicating with each other seamlessly.

For Elder Li Huang, her concern was on the pill. She threw in herbs one after another.

Even without checking inside the cauldron, she could perceive the pill process was smooth.

Compared to before, she did not have to delay or rush when to throw in the herbs.

She just had to follow her new, improved pill recipe.

One and a half hours later, the process was complete and the runes switched off automatically.

Elder Li Huang slapped the cauldron and ten pills flew out. Swiftly, she gathered the ten pills, but when her eyes locked on the pills, she was stunned.

"T-This...." she gasped.

"What is the result?" Mo Jian asked as they moved closer.

Elder Li Huang turned and looked at them, showing them the ten pills.

"Y-Young Master... six high-grade pills and four peak-grade pills," she muttered in disbelief.

...

...

AN: Pill grades range from: Lower, middle, high, peak, and superior grade.
