After all, she was a novice who had never been exposed to alchemy. When the first batch of pills came out, Shen Qiqi got a pool of black charred material.
But Shen Qiqi was not discouraged - why should she be discouraged? She was not an alchemy genius and it was impossible for her to succeed in one go.
Just like Xie Beiming said, if it doesn't work once, then try twice, three times, four times...even a hundred times will be fine. Anyway, she owns a vast medicinal field and doesn't have to worry about raw materials.
Shen Qiqi, who had a clear understanding of her own talents and was prepared to accept several failures, was very calm.
She calmly dug the black charcoal out of the furnace, summed up her experience of failure, and then put a new batch of medicinal herbs into the furnace.
This time, what Shen Qiqi harvested was no longer a pool of black coke;
A lump is an improvement over a puddle. At least that lump is round.
Then came the third attempt, the fourth attempt, the fifth attempt... The snow in the space began to melt, from one foot deep to half a foot deep.
Now there is only the thickness of a sole left.
Shen Qiqi was still making her countless attempts in the dark cave.
Meanwhile, outside the space, daylight turned into night, and night and day receded in the glow of the rising sun, with the setting sun soon taking over the morning sun's shift...
Taiqing Immortal Venerable put his hands behind his back, checked Shen Mingyu's condition, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and threw it to Yu Xinglin: "This is the detoxification pill I just made. Feed it to the patient."
For the entire day and night, Yu Xinglin stayed by Shen Mingyu's bedside without leaving. When he heard Taiqing Immortal Venerable say that he had already refined the detoxification pill, the big stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell to the ground.
It's not that he lost confidence in Miss Shen after knowing the truth, but as a doctor, Yu Xinglin knew very well how difficult the art of alchemy was. Even for someone like him who had been exposed to medicine since childhood, so far, he could only refine fourth-grade pills at best, the lowest grade among fine pills.
The detoxification pill that Shen Mingyu needs has complex ingredients and an even more complicated method of refining. From the dosage to the temperature, not a single digit can be wrong. Once it is refined, it can at least be called an eighth-grade elixir.
Elixirs of the seventh to eighth grades are considered rare, while ninth grade elixirs are even rarer. As for the tenth grade elixir... it is estimated that only the Immortal Venerable Taiqing can refine it.
Oh, by the way, I heard that Madam Meng back then could also refine tenth-grade elixirs.
Unfortunately, the beauty was short-lived and Mrs. Meng has passed away.
Yu Xinglin felt that as Madam Meng's biological daughter, Shen Qiqi might inherit some of her mother's talent in medicine, but he did not think that Shen Qiqi could learn alchemy in a short period of time and achieve amazing results in one go, such as refining an eighth-grade elixir on her first try.
Can that still be considered a human being?
That is a monster, and a monster that defies the will of heaven!
Not only Yu Xinglin, even Taiqing Immortal Venerable did not believe that Shen Qiqi could really make the elixir.
Are you kidding me? Can refining pills be that easy? Without three to five years of practice, I'm afraid I can't even refine the shape of the pill.
Not to mention refining an eighth-grade elixir as soon as the furnace is opened, that is pure wishful thinking and nonsense.
The reason why he insisted on letting Shen Qiqi do it even though he knew it was impossible was because Taiqing Immortal Venerable had the intention of personally visiting the alchemy room to guide Shen Qiqi at the critical moment.
First, let the little girl experience the powerlessness of watching her loved ones die in front of her, so that she can realize the importance of learning medical skills, and then he can naturally accept her as a disciple.
When he thought that he would soon have a good disciple, Taiqing Immortal Master could not help but laugh out loud. It was not until Yu Xinglin cast a suspicious look at him that he realized that he had become too proud of himself. He was about to scold Yu Xinglin for looking around for no reason.
At this moment, a loud "bang" suddenly sounded outside.
The sound was so loud that everyone on Huichun Peak heard it.
Taiqing Immortal Venerable naturally heard it, but he showed no surprise, nor any panic. There was only calmness in his eyes that said, "Everything is under my control."
It's the first time to make elixir, so a furnace explosion is a normal thing, there's nothing to panic about.
When he first started learning alchemy, not only did his furnace explode, he also burned down the alchemy room seven or eight times.
Therefore, facing the disciple's hurried report, Taiqing Immortal Venerable was particularly calm. He replied "I know", then walked towards the alchemy room leisurely with his hands behind his back.
At this time, thick smoke was billowing in the alchemy room of Taiqing Immortal Venerable, and Shen Qiqi was frantically trying to put out the fire.
After finally putting out the fire, she herself was smoked into a black body.
But she didn't have time to wipe it now. If she didn't get out quickly, Xie Beiming would probably raze Taiqing Immortal's alchemy room to the ground.
At that time, Xie Beiming had only fought with Qiu Changfeng in the sect, but was put in solitary confinement for a month on the charge of "gathering a crowd to fight".
If he razed Taiqing Immortal Venerable's alchemy room to the ground today, it would not be as simple as just being put in solitary confinement, he would probably be expelled from the sect!
How could Xie Beiming be allowed to bear such a huge stain!
Shen Qiqi didn't bother to clean herself up. As soon as the fire was out, she immediately ran out, shouting loudly as she ran: "Xie Beiming, I'm fine..."
The remaining smoke took the opportunity to get into Shen Qiqi's throat, and her next words were interrupted by a series of coughs.
Fortunately, the terrifying force that was frantically attacking the barrier stopped.
Then, Xie Beiming's voice was heard outside the alchemy room——
"Qiqi, don't speak! Be careful of the smoke! Come out first!"
The voice was a little ethereal, as if it came from behind the alchemy room.
But isn’t there a big pond behind the alchemy room?
What is Xie Beiming doing there?
But at the moment, Shen Qiqi didn't care to think about these things. When she heard Xie Beiming's voice, she responded subconsciously: "Oh, okay... cough cough cough..." She quickly covered her mouth and nose tightly with her sleeves, trying to avoid inhaling the smoke.
Fortunately, the corridor leading to the outside of the alchemy room was not very long. Shen Qiqi took another big step with all her strength. White light soon flooded into her eyes, and the stuffy air receded like a tide.
It’s finally out!
Shen Qiqi didn't even bother to breathe a breath of fresh air. She looked around and didn't see Xie Beiming. She hurriedly shouted, "Xie Beiming——"
The last word was still lingering on the tip of her tongue when Shen Qiqi's wrist was suddenly grabbed from behind. The next moment, she was pulled into an embrace from behind by a pair of hands.
Shen Qiqi froze at first, then subconsciously looked down. When she saw the hands around her waist, she relaxed.
That was Xie Beiming's hand, easy to identify because there was a small red mole above the base of his left hand, which was easy to identify.
Sure enough, the next moment, before Shen Qiqi even turned her head to look behind her, a deep voice rang out above her ear: "...I'm sorry, Qiqi, I was wrong! I will never let you take risks again!"
Xie Beiming hugged the person in his arms tightly.
