In this way, Ye Ying accumulated experience through continuous practice and studied diligently day after day.

She often went out to collect all sorts of strange and unusual herbs, and after returning home, she would bury herself in studying how to make them into more effective medicines or teas.

Sometimes she gets excited about a successful attempt; other times she gets frustrated by a failure, but she never gets discouraged.

In this process, Ye Ying gradually came to understand the magical growing environment of nature and the wonders of various herbs.

Every herb contains boundless energy and wisdom, waiting for a discerning person or healer to discover and explore it.

Time flies like an arrow, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

On this morning, golden sunlight, like scattered gold dust, spilled into the courtyard, bringing life to the scene.

The old man stood quietly in the courtyard, gazing at the swaying shadows of the leaves before him, his eyes revealing deep appreciation and satisfaction.

He knew that the clever and bright girl in front of him not only possessed a wealth of knowledge about herbs, but also had noble character and moral integrity.

Therefore, he made an important decision without hesitation: to pass on all the unique secrets of refining elixirs that he had studied throughout his life to her.

On that day, the herbalist carefully carried an antique, elegant, and exquisite alchemy furnace out of the house and gently placed it on the spacious open space in the center of the courtyard.

Then, he personally demonstrated and explained in detail to Ye Ying how to precisely control the heat and how to keenly distinguish subtle changes in the color of the elixir, as well as other key techniques and precautions.

As he demonstrated, he patiently answered Ye Ying's questions, sharing his years of accumulated experience and insights without reservation.

Under the careful guidance of the herbalist elder, Ye Ying diligently studied and practiced, constantly absorbing and digesting this valuable knowledge and skills, and flexibly applying them to practical operations.

Gradually, her alchemy skills made a qualitative leap and progressed rapidly.

However, success is not achieved overnight.

Despite numerous failures and setbacks, Ye Ying never gave up and persevered in her exploration.

Finally, her hard work paid off, and she successfully refined pills filled with mysterious power!

These elixirs emitted a strange fragrance and were crystal clear, like the most precious treasures in the world.

At this moment, Ye Ying clearly understood that these precious pills were hard-won, representing the culmination of countless people's hard work and wisdom.

It includes rare and precious herbs generously bestowed by nature, as well as the meticulous preparation by virtuous and highly respected herbalists; and the little white fox Tianyao, who was inseparable from him, also made a great contribution.

During this time, Ye Ying not only devoted herself to in-depth research into herbal knowledge and alchemy techniques, but also did not forget to fight alongside the little white fox to find the mysterious barrier entrance that could lead to another new world.

As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. After countless hardships and obstacles, one day, on a sunny afternoon, Xiaobai returned from his outing and successfully brought some good news.

That is, it found the entrance to the barrier it had always dreamed of.
