An elder sat in a red rocking chair, toying with a small cauldron engulfed in a faint red glow—it was none other than the recently retrieved artifact, the Three-flavor True Flame Cauldron, its size now reduced to a tenth of its original.
The elder wore a somewhat outdated red Taoist robe, had an ordinary face, disheveled gray hair, and his eyeballs were a faint blue, with a weak, unusual light flickering within them.
After examining the item for a while, he suddenly stood up, tossed the small cauldron into the air in front of him, and cast a red spell with one hand. The red light flashed momentarily before merging into the small cauldron.
