Chapter 2708 — A Peculiar Result

"Your body possesses no True attribute whatsoever. In the common parlance of the cultivation world, that makes you a dud—a waste of a cultivator. Even if you can cultivate, you could never attain any great strength. You can generate Void attributes, yes, but the cultivation speed of a Void attribute is markedly slower than that of a True or False attribute constitution," White Leader said. "And yet you happen to possess so many Void attributes, and your cultivation speed is far from slow. That is truly strange!"
"I..." Wei Zhao could only smile bitterly. He knew his own affairs best. Was his cultivation speed truly fast? On the surface it seemed so, but without the jade pendant's space, without Wang Xinyan, would it still be fast?
The answer was plainly no. Without those advantages, Wei Zhao would still be a lone wandering cultivator, and the other cultivators would long since have left him countless miles behind.
"Even if you were to receive the source attributes through inheritance, it would still be a great deal of trouble. You would have to seek out inheritances at five elemental sites and seven source sites—that is far too troublesome," White Leader said with some helplessness.
"In other words, there is no solution for the time being?" Wei Zhao asked.
"As things stand, no." White Leader spread his hands and gave a bitter smile.
"Very well. If that is how it is, there is no use forcing the matter." Wei Zhao did not agonize over it unduly. After all, to have come this far and to finally understand the nature of his own constitution was already no small thing. As for transforming all his attributes into True attributes, that still seemed to him a distant impossibility.
"By the way, you mentioned earlier that an incense burner is missing from here?" White Leader asked, looking toward the empty spot where something had been removed.
"Yes, a medicinal cauldron. It was still here when I left last time, but this time it was gone. Plainly someone who had pored over the Record of Strange Tales and Curious Matters before us made off with it!" Wei Zhao said.
"Oh? A medicinal cauldron?" White Leader was briefly taken aback. "What cauldron? What did it look like?"
A medicinal cauldron here would certainly have been a treasure, and that it had been taken filled White Leader with immense regret. Had he come a little sooner, might things have turned out differently?
"This cauldron was like this—You Panhu once traded me a pile of junk for some things. That junk cauldron of his ought to be very similar to this one. I have a photograph of it here." With that, Wei Zhao took out his phone, called up a picture, and handed it to White Leader.
"What? The Shennong Cauldron?" White Leader stared at the photograph of the cauldron in Wei Zhao's hand, his eyes going wide with shock.
"The Shennong Cauldron?" Wei Zhao was taken aback, thinking to himself: Could this really be such a treasure?
"The Shennong Cauldron was used to refine immortal elixirs. In ancient times it was called the Cauldron of Creation. As everyone knows, in remote antiquity Shennong tasted a hundred herbs for the sake of the people and laid the foundations of medicine for later ages. But what most people do not know is that Shennong was the forefather of all alchemists—it was he who invented the art of elixir refinement, and the alchemy of us cultivators has all flowed from his hands and been carried forward and made great!"
