Chapter 253 Second Senior Brother Uses the Same Trick Again
Ah, this...
"Are you kidding me?"
Jia Xitong stared at him with wide eyes, thinking, "My host doesn't know how to care about people at all."
All her words and kindness were wasted.
The raccoon jumped off him, walked a few steps away, then came back, braced itself on its front legs, and kicked him with its hind legs.
After kicking her, he took out a special small broom and began to clean up the medicine residue on the ground, then put the residue into a bag.
"These medicines are all useless."
Shang Yanting followed behind and reminded him.
"I know."
Even if it wasn't refined properly, it's still a rare and precious raw material. It would be a waste to throw it away directly; I'll take it back to feed Niu Niu and the others.
Jia Xitong, carrying a broom and a bag, crawled into the overturned medicine furnace and swept out the dregs.
Shang Yanting had been refining these medicines for forty-one days. Although she hadn't succeeded, it wasn't entirely unsuccessful either. After cleaning up all the broken dregs, she found two pills that looked acceptable.
Because it is a semi-finished product, the medicine has a grayish-white color, similar to lime. The pills and ointments are rather loose and easily crumble. The medicine has no odor, making it impossible to judge its quality.
Two good ones in total.
Should we try contacting someone?
After cleaning the Taixu Eight Extremes Furnace thoroughly, Jia Xitong climbed out and glanced at Niu Chuanchuan and his fellow disciples...
Forget it, let's leave the drug testing to Niu Niu and Little Gray in the stable.
Jia Xitong held the pill and flew towards the stable.
In the stable
The domineering Iron Egg Flower was jumping around on the backs of the Giant Rock Rhinoceros, Little Gray, and the former owner of the stable, Fa Cai.
Hearing Jia Xitong's buzzing sound, Tie Danhua suddenly raised her head, making incessant "chirping" noises. Fa Cai, meanwhile, hid in a corner, looking at Jia Xitong with resentment.
The stable is such a cruel place; you only see the new chickens laughing, but never hear the old beasts crying.
Jia Xitong noticed Fa Cai's humility and sadness, "Tiedanhua, are you bullying Fa Cai again?!"
"Chirp chirp chirp, chirp ...."
Tie Danhua kept chattering, but unfortunately Jia Xitong couldn't understand her.
So it arrogantly stepped forward, sniffed the pill in the raccoon's hand, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
"Why!"
Before Jia Xitong could react, the pills were gone. She pried open Tie Danhua's little mouth and saw only a set of fierce, sharp teeth inside; the pills were nowhere to be seen.
What was originally intended to be a trial for everyone has now turned into a test for the chicken.
I thought the chicks were extremely picky eaters, so why are they so eager to eat today?
Jia Xitong thought of Tie Danhua's picky eating habits, only eating the best things.
So even ruined pills are good things, right?
She tucked the remaining, more intact pill into her magic talisman. If the Iron Egg Flower pill was harmless, then she could give it to Aunt Haifeng.
This isn't a waste.
—That's what the thrifty little raccoon thought.
On the other side
Seeing that Jia Xitong flew away and wouldn't come back, Shang Yanting thought she was angry, so he chased after her.
He picked up the raccoon squatting in its "money pit" and asked, "Are you so angry that you're ready to sleep in the stable?"
"You're the one who sleeps in the stable."
Jia Xitong showed the bag of medicine residue she had picked up, "If you can't successfully refine pills next time, dear host, you'll have to sleep in the beast stable!"
After saying that, the raccoon flew away aloofly.
As he left, he said, "I'll go heat up your bath water. You can only rest today; don't even think about slacking off tomorrow!"
##
Three days later
After studying the manual, Shang Yanting resumed his alchemy practice.
Jia Xitong couldn't understand the specifics of alchemy, so after he entered meditation, he opened a talisman teaching class in front of the main hall.
No, there are three classes.
The three-shift system arranged by the eldest brother was unanimously praised and accepted by the other brothers, so Little Raccoon had to teach the lesson three times every day!
A small blackboard, a large table, and an embroidered cushion on the table.
The environment in which Jia Xitong gave his lectures was just that harsh.
However, she taught her senior brothers quite patiently. After telling her eleventh senior brother, who dreamed of getting rich quick, that desires would not lead to success and that they should start with the basics, they finally began their first attempt at drawing talismans—the Light Talisman.
Everyone understood the theory, but when it came to actual practice, the senior students were completely lost. Either their drawings looked like dog scratches, or the ink was so thick that it seeped through the paper. The tenth senior student did a very good imitation, but it was just an imitation, nothing special.
"Everyone... still has a long way to go!"
It took Jia Xitong a long time to come up with a sentence that was not hurtful, but also encouraging and comforting.
Drawing talismans is a pretty simple thing, isn't it? She wasn't even at the level of a talisman apprentice back then, but she was still able to pull off a successful one from a thousand scraps of paper.
Moreover, the current Light Talisman is simpler than the Solidification Talisman.
"Everyone... let's draw a thousand first."
Teacher Tong assigned homework to her group of disappointing senior students: "Write it today and hand it in tomorrow afternoon."
"What?"
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
The once-promising martial arts student, Senior Brother Eleven, looked troubled. "Xi Tong, I can only read, not write. You want me to draw a thousand talismans for you tomorrow? I can't do that."
"Don't say you can't do it because you can't write; it's not okay even if I can write."
The second senior brother put down his brush and ink and simply lay down.
"Little Bucket, Second Brother is almost ruined and can't move anymore."
"Think about the Sumeru talisman."
Jia Xitong brought up what they cared about most: "In the future, you will be able to draw the Sumeru Talisman, and each one is worth tens of thousands of spirit stones."
