Yueying arranged a courtyard for Xu Yuehuai in the suburbs. The courtyard had everything, including an alchemy furnace and many precious medicinal herbs. These things displayed outside were no less valuable than the ring Yueying had given her.

Yueying stood at the door and said, "These things are all yours. As long as you can refine a high-purity Meridian Opening Pill, you can take everything in here with you."

Xu Yuehuai didn't show it on her face, but she was very excited inside and nodded politely.

Yuan Shui was incredibly excited looking at these medicinal herbs. These herbs were extremely nourishing for their spiritual weapons. "Look, look! I told you I wasn't lying to you. You've really made a lot of progress on this trip!"

After everyone left, Yuan Shui, unable to contain his excitement, came out of the space and circled around the herb rack, eating a few herbs as he went.

"Eat less! This stuff isn't ours yet. We'll talk about it after I finish refining the pills. Besides, if you eat now, what am I going to use to refine the pills later?" Xu Yuehuai scolded angrily. Yuan Shui leisurely went out and began to wander around the courtyard alone, wanting to see if there was anything else good.

After he left, Xu Yuehuai opened a book that was placed to the side. It contained detailed instructions on how to refine the Meridian Opening Pill. The book was very worn and had clearly been read many times.

As for who read this book so many times, the answer is self-evident.

Xu Yuehuai began to try following the instructions in the book. She had only glanced at the recipe for this pill, but within a month she had learned no less than fifty ways to refine pills. She was already exceptionally talented. If it weren't for Dean Guo stopping her, she probably would have learned even more. However, Dean Guo felt that she should not be impatient for quick success and wanted Xu Yuehuai to build a solid foundation.

After reading the book, Xu Yuehuai made her first attempt. Normally, a batch of pills would yield ten pills. While waiting, Xu Yuehuai thought it was a pity that she failed the first time.

Because all the medicinal materials for refining the Meridian Clearing Pill are extremely rare, if she fails to refine it even once, she will have one less to take with her.

However, when Xu Yuehuai finally held the bottle of pills to the outlet, she discovered that six of the pills had actually been successfully produced, a success rate of 60%, and this was the first attempt, completely crushing everyone else.

Xu Yuehuai smelled the pill, frowned, and was not very satisfied. The purity of this pill was not as high as that of her other pills.

She had spent a whole day and night refining this batch of pills. After thinking for a moment, Xu Yuehuai put the bottle of pills into her spatial storage, grabbed another batch of medicinal herbs, and began a new round of refining.

This time, she refined the herbs with greater care and became more skilled at controlling the heat, which took her more than half a day longer than the last time.

Even before the elixir is finished, you can smell the fragrance of the medicine, and smelling this fragrance makes you feel comfortable all over.

Xu Yuehua smiled, she had succeeded.

She used medicine to fill the bottle with the refined pills, ten pills in total, not one less and not one more, and the luster emanating from each pill indicated that they were of the same quality.

Yuan Shui sat in the courtyard eating fruit, which he had found in another room. The room was full of all kinds of delicious food. There were people guarding the courtyard not far away, but there was no one in the courtyard.

Yueying attached great importance to this Meridian Clearing Pill. Based on his experience with alchemists, he knew that they didn't like being disturbed while they were refining pills. So he deliberately had someone guard outside to prevent Xu Yuehuai from not being able to find him if he needed help.

...

Xu Yuehuai came out of the alchemy room with the pills in her hands. She touched her flat stomach, swallowed hard, and snatched the grapes from Yuan Shui's hand as she looked at him sitting in the courtyard eating grapes. "I was in there for a day or two, and you only brought me so little food, while you were enjoying yourself outside!"

"Go and move all the valuables in that room into your spatial dimension!" Xu Yuehuai lay down in the spot where Yuan Shui had just been lying, ordering Yuan Shui around imperiously.

This time, Yuan Shui surprisingly didn't go against Xu Yuehuai.

Xu Yuehuai was happy to have some free time. She had already guessed that this guy would eat quite a lot while tidying up those medicinal herbs, but she still let him be.

By the time Yuan Shui had finished packing everything, a quarter of an hour had passed. Xu Yuehua ate a grape to tide her over. Yuan Shui had eaten everything in the kitchen over the past few days, leaving almost nothing. Now, she just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible and have a good meal.

As Xu Yuehuai stepped out the door, two of the four guardians nearby noticed her and immediately stepped forward to her side. They bowed respectfully and said, "Is there anything you need, Miss? Just tell us and we'll take care of it."

Moonshadow has divided her four guardians into two here.

Xu Yuehuai tossed the bottle in her hand to them and said, "These are the refined pills. I want to eat something. Please arrange a place for me to eat."

Xu Yuehuai touched her belly, looking worried.

The two protectors exchanged a glance. They had initially thought that Xu Yuehuai was missing something when she came out, but they never expected that the pills were finished. Xu Yuehuai had said that it might take some time to refine the pills, and everyone assumed it would take about ten days. However, Xu Yuehuai finished refining them in less than three days!

The two of them tacitly agreed that the pill was not of any good quality, but they had no right to open it. Yueying had instructed them before she left that whatever Xu Yuehuai asked for, they should agree to it.

"I'll go arrange your meal right away." One of them bowed to Xu Yuehuai again before turning and leaving.

The other person used a communication crystal to tell Yueying about this.

Yueying rushed over, dressed in very formal attire, clearly having come from some important occasion. When he reached Xu Yuehuai, he was slightly out of breath, a far cry from his usual aloof and unapproachable demeanor. "Where are the pills?"

"It's in your subordinate's hands." Xu Yuehuai raised her head to indicate to the person who had just taken her pills.

The man immediately took out the pills from his pocket and handed them to Yueying, saying, "Master."

The subordinate was worried that Yueying might be deceived and wanted to say something, but anything he said now would be overstepping his bounds, so he could only vent his dissatisfaction on Xu Yuehuai with his eyes.

He lowered his head, glancing sideways at Xu Yuehuai with a hint of darkness in his eyes.

Yueying couldn't wait to open the bottle. As soon as he opened it, the fragrance that wafted out caught him off guard, and he took a deep breath.
