Chapter 3421 — The Song Family's Trouble

There was no help for it. The Ancestor Xuanchen had grown too impatient, so he had no choice but to seek out Miss Lan again to discuss cooperation, intending to counterfeit the second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron!
Fortunately, Dr. Benjamin II delivered. After a period of painstaking research, he finally succeeded in producing a counterfeit! This was actually somewhat simpler than cracking the first-grade automatic medicinal cauldron. After all, the first-grade automatic cauldron used substitute materials, and when studying and cracking it, one had to alter certain parameters in the program to make it compatible with the genuine first-grade cauldron—there was an issue of compatibility involved. But the second-grade automatic cauldron had no such problem; once cracked, it could be used directly. So after the cracking succeeded, it could be mass-produced and put on the market for sale!
Yet everything had been prepared so well—just as the Xuandan Sect released the counterfeit second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron onto the market and was about to promote it vigorously and cooperate with the Cultivators' Commerce Association, the association unexpectedly launched an integrated smart version of the "First- and Second-Grade Automatic Medicinal Cauldron"!
It could refine not only first-grade pills but second-grade pills as well! Of course, if Dr. Benjamin II wanted to counterfeit this function, he could do so—there was no technical difficulty whatsoever.
But the main problem was not that. It was that this "First- and Second-Grade Automatic Medicinal Cauldron" was simply too miraculous. As long as one was a first-grade alchemist who could control pill fire, one could rely on the automated pill-fire energy assistance inside the "First- and Second-Grade Automatic Medicinal Cauldron" to complete the refining of second-grade pills!
This was a veritable divine artifact for alchemy! Those first-grade alchemists dreamed of refining second-grade pills, but their own strength fell short, so they could only give up. Now, with this divine alchemy artifact, the "First- and Second-Grade Automatic Medicinal Cauldron," wouldn't they rush to snap it up?
The appearance of this divine alchemy artifact instantly reduced the Xuandan Sect's counterfeit second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron from an object of attention to one nobody gave a second glance, and it nearly made the Ancestor Xuanchen vomit blood in frustration!
It was all money! So many second-grade cauldrons, plus the modification costs—all of it down the drain!
"Miss Lan, what are we to do now?" The Ancestor Xuanchen was trembling with rage, and he could only pin his hopes on Miss Lan.
"The pressing matter is to buy another set of their newly released first- and second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron and study it," Miss Lan said mildly. "In my view, it's nothing more than a functional upgrade, and they've simply found substitute materials for the second-grade cauldron. I believe we can counterfeit it."
"That's good to hear!" The Ancestor Xuanchen breathed a sigh of relief. This was the entire fortune of the Five Luminaries Sect, and now it was all staked on the medicinal cauldrons. If they couldn't be sold, wouldn't he weep himself to death?
"You needn't be too anxious. That's just how these things are—technology is the real power. We hold the high tech, so why should we fear them?" Miss Lan said indifferently.
"All right, then I'll arrange for someone to make the purchase!" The Ancestor Xuanchen breathed a sigh of relief.
