Invitation

Though the cauldron I got from Xi Song's holding bag was good, it was already contaminated with my poison Qi and I can't use it to create anything but poison pills.

"How about now, do you not need me to provide you with a cauldron of your own?" the emperor said to me through a telepathic message.

Man, I hate the fact that I can't use telepathic messaging, I'll need to be at least at Core Creating to have my own spiritual sea and access to divine sense.

I pulled my brush and wrote on a paper for the emperor's eyes only.

"I could use a Dragon Brass cauldron."

"Just that? I can get you some of the best cauldrons the empire has to offer, and you wish for a Dragon Brass cauldron? Heck if  my little knowledge about alchemy could serve, that's on an even lower quality than Meteorite Steel cauldron."
