Despite his inner complaints, the little snow leopard was still very keen on making money.
He agreed to Ruoruo's request immediately.
After agreeing on the important matter, the little snow leopard asked in confusion, "Didn't you guys cause trouble yesterday and then ask for leave? How did the God punish you? Why did he let you out today?"
Ruoruo's cat tail drooped down: "Father didn't lock me up. He just said that because my cultivation was not high enough, I went too lightly yesterday, which caused endless trouble for Zi Manqing. Moreover, I also contracted a useless sword. So from today onwards, I must cultivate diligently, try to become familiar with the Xuanyuan Sword, and improve my strength."
Even if one cannot form a contract with the Xuanyuan Sword, as long as one becomes familiar with it enough, one will be able to unleash at least five-tenths of the Xuanyuan Sword's power when one ascends to the rank of High God.
Although it can't compare to a semi-divine artifact, it's comparable to a regular immortal artifact.
"Xuan, Xuan, Xuanyuan Sword?" The little snow leopard's paws trembled slightly as he looked at Ruoruo with teary eyes. "Look, we're siblings now. When are we going to pay our respects to our father? Whether it's the Xuanyuan Sword or not doesn't matter. The main thing is that I, as his godson, want to fulfill my filial duty."
Mo Jinyan slapped the little snow leopard away with a look of utter dismay: "Alright, tone it down. If you really saw your father, you'd probably be too scared to even speak."
Father was only so easy to talk to in front of Ruoruo. On ordinary days, he was very dignified, and all the celestial officials would carefully consider their words so as not to offend Father.
Only this little kitten could jump around on its father and use his imperial robes as a handkerchief.
The children entered the academy amidst playful bickering, while Ruoruo still took Mo Jinyan to pay respects to the God of Green Wood.
Yesterday's incident caused quite a stir, and Qingmu had heard about it. He sent a message to inquire about the situation and repeatedly emphasized to Mo Yong that if Mo Yong could not uphold justice for Ruoruo, it would be better to send Ruoruo to him. No one in the academy would dare to offend her, and he could protect Ruoruo to some extent.
Mo Yong sneered in anger: "You're quite the schemer."
The abacus beads were practically bouncing onto his face.
So he didn't even show the letter to Ruoruo and replied to it himself, telling Aoki to focus on his studies and not meddle in other people's business.
The old man was so angry that he broke off two hairs from his beard.
Today, he had food prepared early in the morning and personally prepared a lot of medicine suitable for cubs. He looked around the doorway again and again.
Until Ruoruo, with her chubby little head, ran happily from afar and threw herself into his arms: "Good morning, Master! Ruoruo is here for class!"
The lively and adorable little girl had clear and bright eyes, a smile on her lips, and moved nimbly. She was neither hungry, nor injured, nor was she crying.
Aoki breathed a sigh of relief, then put on a stern face again: "I know about what happened yesterday. The Zi Manqing pill was a product of my previous creation and modification of the prescription. Its effects are different from your pill, so its appearance is naturally different. You are not familiar with the properties of the pill, which is why that little witch bullied you."
"Ruoruo must study hard and refute her with reason and evidence next time! She must not be allowed to talk nonsense about Master again." Ruoruo pouted angrily.
Aoki nodded in satisfaction: "In that case, let's have an extra lesson today!"
Mo Jinyan stumbled upon hearing this and nearly fell to the ground from Ruoruo's shoulder.
You're adding extra classes? Are you trying to teach a three-year-old at the speed of teaching a xuanzi class?
However, Ruoruo was not afraid at all. Instead, she asked, "Master, can you teach me to recognize medicinal herbs and also teach me how to make pills? Ruoruo wants to start making pills as soon as possible. Ruoruo succeeded in making pills last time."
Aoki felt a sense of satisfaction as he recalled the two pills that Ruoruo had refined for the first time, which he had sealed with more than a dozen layers and placed at the top of his alchemy hall so that everyone who entered could see them.
But he didn't hold back at all: "You call those two pills you refined? They barely maintained the balance of the spiritual herbs, just medicinal balls made with alchemy techniques! Watch closely, today your master will teach you how to refine them again."
He then demonstrated the refining method of the Fusion Elixir, explaining the characteristics, habits, and effects of each herb while refining the medicine.
After he finishes demonstrating, let Ruoruo practice again.
This time, Ruoruo was able to control the Phoenix True Fire that Mo Jinyan sprayed on her through the fire control array that Qingmu Shangshen drew in her palm.
It was only when she first tried to control the flames to refine medicine that she realized that her success was largely thanks to Mo Jinyan.
At that time, Mo Jinyan followed her instructions, adjusting the temperature as needed, looking completely relaxed and at ease.
But when it was Ruoruo's turn to do it herself, she realized that controlling the temperature of the fire was not an easy task.
Aoki helped Ruoruo correct her mistakes little by little, and Ruoruo also ruined two batches of spiritual medicine.
"Chirp. Why don't you rest for a while? Maybe it's because the Phoenix True Fire is too naughty and hard to control. We'll change to a different fire later." Mo Jinyan was worried that Ruoruo would be frustrated, so he quickly coaxed her to rest.
Ruoruo Cat, with her stubborn personality, pouted and said, "No, let's do it again."
She stared intently at the furnace, recalling Qingmu's method, and the hand seals she made changed as she continued to manipulate the pills.
Aoki, who had originally intended to offer some guidance, instantly shut his mouth, his eyes burning as he stared intently at Ruoruo's hands, memorizing every movement and every flow of immortal energy.
This alchemy formula was a completely new formula that Ruoruo comprehended on the day she entered the path of alchemy!
Ruoruo's new alchemy technique began to stagnate as she practiced it.
The moment she stopped, the medicinal herbs in the furnace were instantly burned to ashes.
Ruoruo looked bewildered.
Aoki's heart skipped a beat, fearing that Ruoruo would be interrupted in her cultivation process again, and he immediately added another batch of refined spiritual medicine: "Continue to combine the pills!"
If you start the hand seals from the beginning again.
Each time he failed, Aoki would add a new elixir, and Ruoruo's senses in her hands would become more and more refined with each attempt.
Just as the eleventh dose of eleventh elixir was about to be burned, Ruoruo slowly but smoothly closed the final pill-making incantation with both hands.
Once the alchemy technique was completed, a buzzing sound of alchemy emanated from the furnace.
Dark clouds gathered over Aoki's mansion, and a lightning tribulation was brewing within the rolling clouds.
"It's done, it's done? The eighty-second alchemy technique is complete." Qingmu couldn't help but tear up, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha! The Dao of Alchemy is alive! In my lifetime, I can actually witness a miracle of the Dao of Alchemy. Heaven has not forsaken my Dao of Alchemy! Hahaha."
Suddenly, the lightning from above struck down on the alchemy furnace and Ruoruo.
Just as Qingmu activated the protective array barrier for the alchemy furnace and Ruoruo, a slightly tattered, ancient and dull wooden sword shot straight out from Ruoruo's body.
The wooden sword hung above the alchemy furnace, directly catching the lightning tribulation!
Aoki's hand trembled, and he quickly reached out to protect his sword: "Quickly put it back. If your natal spirit sword is broken, you will be seriously injured."
"I can't control it..." Ruoruo collapsed to the ground, panting slightly, and turned into a little kitten. "Master, Ruoruo's tail is itchy."
At the base of the kitten's tailbone, the fourth and fifth tails slowly emerged.
