Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 174: What will happen this time?

After taking all of these things out, I didn’t start refining the pill right away.

Rather, I was focused on the one thing that I couldn’t take out of the system storage.

This was an item that took up a slot in the system storage, but it was a virtual item rather than a real item.

So when I opened it, there was a box that appeared in front of my face.

This box had a list of instructions on it.

This was a pill recipe that came with the alchemy pack.

However, there was something off about this pill that I had to question the system about.

"What is the grade of this pill?"

There was no mention of a grade in the recipe, there wasn’t even a name to this pill.

It only had the recipe for the pill and the effects of the pill written, but I could tell from that alone that this wasn’t a normal pill.

After all, the effects of the pill were...guaranteed breakthrough.

This was a pill that could guarantee a breakthrough when one tried to break through to the next major realm without any backlash, but it didn’t seem to mention a limit. It was even possible that there wasn’t a limit and it would even allow anyone in this world to break through to the next realm.

So if it were used by the most powerful people in the world, wouldn’t that mean that...

They would be able to break through the tethers of this world and reach the upper realm?

Just what kind of insane pill was the system giving me?

There was no doubt that this would attract too much attention!

But the system just remained silent when being questioned.

Instead, it just simply stated, "This is for the good of the host."

"Are you sure? It almost seems like you’re trying to get me killed!"

Though I was complaining, I wasn’t really complaining. It was more just venting to the system for forcing this situation on me.

The system just said, "If the host is in danger, the defense system will activate."

With a sigh, I decided that it was just too much effort to argue with the system.

At this point, it was more whatever happened would happen. It wasn’t as if I could go back now that I had taken out everything.

So I just raised my hand and gathered my flames.

The moment that my flames appeared, there were fluctuations coming from the other three finalists.

It wasn’t strong enough to affect them, but they could sense that there was something affecting their flames. It was as if there was something that seemed to be tugging at their flames, like it was about to pull their flames away.

They peeked out of the corner of their eyes and were surprised.

"Flame laws..."

They had seen my flames before, but they had never been close enough to experience it, which was why they didn’t know about this until now.

Once the flames had been gathered, I just chucked them into the cauldron and started to warm it up before throwing the ingredients in.

But the moment that I threw the flames in, there was a golden glow that came from the cauldron. Then after a moment of build up, there was a golden glowing dragon that appeared from the cauldron that flew into the sky.

In the mouth of the golden glowing dragon was the flames that I had tossed into the cauldron.

Everyone looked up in shock at the golden glowing dragon floating there, but all I could think was, "Is there really a need for this kind of effect?"

However, before doing anything else, I realized that there was another problem.

"How am I supposed to put the ingredients in when it’s taking the flames away like that?"

The golden glowing dragon was high up in the air with the flames that I had put into the cauldron in my mouth. It wasn’t as if I could just fly up and throw the ingredients into its mouth...

At the same time, would it even work if I were to throw the ingredients into its mouth?

Would it still work as a cauldron that would keep the essence of those herbs inside of it?

As I was wondering what I should do next, the golden glowing dragon suddenly came down.

It came down so that it was right in front of me and opened its mouth in front of me, as if it was waiting for me to do something. With the way that it was looking at me, it was almost as if it was waiting for me to throw the ingredients in.

I looked at it with a surprised look before asking, "Are you saying that you can help me refine even without the cauldron? Or are you saying that you are the cauldron?"

The golden glowing dragon just gave a simple nod before gesturing with its claw at its mouth.

It might be hard for others to accept this, but for me who had read plenty of cultivation novels before, I had an idea of what was going on.

They had called this an Immortal Cauldron before and in cases like this, there would usually be some kind of spirit inside of the cauldron that controlled it.

If I had to guess, this golden glowing dragon was most likely the spirit of this cauldron, which was why it was fine for me to put the ingredients in its mouth. I most likely had to refine the pill inside of the golden glowing dragon’s mouth.

Thinking about it, this was actually a benefit since it allowed one to see what was happening during the refinement.

This would help with controlling the flames when refining pills since sight was a powerful indicator.

As such, I tossed the ingredients in and placed my hand on the golden glowing dragon’s head.

It revealed a happy look as it munched on the ingredients, but it was actually refining it.

"This is...a live refinement? Just using the flames as a cauldron?"

"What kind of a technique is this?!"

"But what will happen this time?"
