Cauldron

"I will acquire you. You are just a cauldron, I have a powerful soul in me" Meng Xiao said with a determined gaze as she moved closer to it.

Seeing her action he knew she had made up her mind. He channels his qi ready to save her anytime if the cauldron attacks her.

As Meng Xiao moved closer to it, the cauldron gave out a green light as if it was warning Meng Xiao not to take a step closer.

Seeing the light, Manager Zhao said.

"Do you still want to try? Why don't you give up on it, there is another cauldron here for you to pick?" Manager Zhao said trying to cajole her.

All this fell on deaf ears as Meng Xiao reached out her hands and channelled her qi ready to bond with it.

Meng Xiao touch it with her hands covered with qi.

As soon as she touched it, instead of attacking her, the cauldron tried to escape but Meng Xiao held tightly to it.

Looking at the situation manager Zhao was confused. "Is the cauldron not supposed to be attacking her, Why does it feel as if it trying to run away?" Manager Zhao asked himself as he stared at Meng Xiao and the cauldron with a confused gaze.

The cauldron struggles relentlessly to escape from her grip but Meng Xiao only holds it tighter. Due to its relentless struggles, one could see the cauldron does not wish to serve anyone other than its master. The cauldron was stronger than her and as it was about to escape, Meng Xiao's white holy qi turned gold and an overwhelming strength overtook her body. The power holds the cauldron firmly while connecting meng xiao holy qi with it. Soon the cauldron became calmed.

The cauldron gave out bright light and Meng Xiao subconsciously let go.

The cauldron rose giving out a bright light.

After some minutes, the cauldron came down gently.

Looking at the cauldron Meng Xiao was enchanted by its majestic aura. It let out an aura that demands respect and reverence.

It is an exquisite masterpiece, a harmonious fusion of silver and gold. The cauldron is shaped like a coiled dragon with ruby-red eyes, seeming to hold untold secrets. Every curve is a testament to high-level craftsmanship. It is designed with a unique pattern and a symbol that Meng Xiao could not decipher.

Meng Xiao took a deep breath as her eyes widened in admiration. Its form exceeded her expectations. Meng Xiao could almost feel the cauldron of ancient wisdom. She felt a resonance with the cauldron's past and the secret it held.

She could see a vague figure of an old man with a mighty present and she knew that was the owner of the cauldron.

Soon, the cauldron shrinks and is now 2 feet long and it brims with profound powers.

Meng Xiao trailed the pattern on the cauldron with her finger.

"You did it, young miss, it accepted you," Manager Zhao said with respect and awe for Meng Xiao. He is happy that he witnessed someone who broke the record of acquiring the cauldron which is referred to as the forbidden cauldron.

"I want another cauldron," Meng Xiao suddenly said.

"What?" Manager Zhao asked looking with wide eyes.

"This cauldron will attract a lot of people if brought out, I want another cauldron that I will be able to use in public" Meng Xiao explained her reason.

"You are wise young miss, If you bring out this cauldron people will easily guess it is a unique cauldron due to its aura and they might try to take it from you," Manager Zhao said with an enlightened gaze.

"I will take that one," Meng Xiao said pointing casually to a green cauldron.

"Okay," Manager Zhao said.

"Do you want me to help you keep it somewhere till you are ready or do you want to take it now with you?" Manager Zhao asked.

"How much does it cost?" Meng Xiao asked.

"It cost 1000 spirit stones," Manager Zhao asked.

"Okay," Meng Xiao said as she handed Manager Zhao her crystal card.

"I will take it with me," Meng Xiao said as she gently tapped her spatial necklace and the two cauldrons disappeared into it.

"Let go back," Meng Xiao said as she followed Manager Zhao back to the upper part of the auction house.

"I will go withdraw it now? Manager Zhao said as he left Meng Xiao in a back room.

Soon, he came back and handed Meng Xiao her card.

"I will take my leave now" Meng Xiao as she stood up and left the room.

Meng Xiao went straight to the Meng family compound and came to get courtyard after successfully evading the payrolling guard's line of sight.

"Tomorrow is the day I will head to the academy. I need to rest properly" Meng Xiao said as she entered her room.

Seeing the sleeping Luo Li, Meng Xiao smiled.

"She is sleeping peacefully," Neng Xiao said as she slept beside her. The bed is large enough to contain 2 people at once not to mention the two young girls with small physiques.

In Manager Zhi's office.

"You said she was here," Ming Xia said looking at Manager Zhi with a sharp gaze.

"Yes master, she came here to buy a cauldron," Manager Zhi said with his head bowed and his body shivering slightly.

"Cauldron? Which cauldron did she buy?" Ming Xia asked.

"She managed to tame the forbidden cauldron," Manager Zhi said.

"What!!!!!?" Ming Xia asked with a shocked expression.

"I was also shocked," Manager Zhi said.

"Manager Zhi, you were careless. How could you allow her to go near the cauldron? What if she is attacked by it? You must know that she must have a powerful background, what if she died? Will you be able to take the blame?" Ming Xia said with a murderous gaze.

"I am sorry young master, I have known my mistake. It won't happen again" Manager Zhi said as his body trembled from fear. The young master's angry expression is like that of a volcano.

"Since she has a cauldron, then she must be an alchemist but when we gift her a sword and a sword spirit herbs, she took it excitedly meaning she can train using a sword. She must be able to dual cultivate, cultivating in both holy wi and spirit qi" Meng Xia said with a look of enlightenment.

Hearing the young master theory manager Zhi have the urge to worship him. "Only he deserves the post of the future family head. He is calculative and with only a guess, he can analyse the situation and bring out a good explanation" Manager Zhi thought inwardly as he looked at the young master in awe.

"School is about to begin, I should get ready," Ming Xia said as he stood up.

"The next time she comes to buy something, inform me immediately," Ming Xia said as he left.

"Yes, young master," Manager Zhi said as he bowed.
