"Ruo Ruo, don't worry, Daddy will try." Mo Yong saw that the kitten had already stuffed half a stove full of medicine, worried that it might hurt itself.
He wasn't a practitioner of alchemy after all.
Some medicinal herbs that required special processing based on their inherent properties were taken out of the furnace and set aside by Mo Yong, leaving only those medicinal herbs that could be extracted as long as the heat was right.
Mo Yong held Ruoruo the cat in one arm, gently stroking the back of her head and comforting her with his back while refining the medicinal power.
However, Ruoruo could feel that the hand Mo Yong was using to comfort her seemed to be trembling slightly, so she obediently lay on Mo Yong's lap without moving.
"Father, Ruoruo is with you."
"Hmm, Ruoruo, be good..." Mo Yong never expected that he might be able to wait until Yan Qingran woke up again in his lifetime.
The medicinal power of this batch of medicine did not dissipate; instead, it was successfully extracted along with the spiritual herbs and lay at the bottom of the furnace.
Mo Yong dejectedly withdrew his hand. It seemed that only the medicinal power refined by Ruoruo would have an effect on the Soul Nourishing Jade.
Ruoruo affectionately rubbed against Mo Yong's hand: "It's okay, Ruoruo will try her best! I won't go to school tomorrow, I'm going to make medicine for Mother so that she can wake up sooner."
"No." Mo Yong was afraid that Ruoruo's tireless work of refining medicine day and night would harm herself. He really wanted Yan Qingran to wake up as soon as possible, but he didn't want Ruoruo to pay a heavy price.
Mo Yong coaxed, "You still need to rest well and go to the academy to cultivate so that you can increase your strength and make more medicine for your mother. Otherwise, at the current rate, I'm afraid your help to your mother will be minimal."
Ruoruo understood that her father was concerned about her, so she lowered her head and rolled her eyes, saying, "Ruoruo knows."
She sat in front of the furnace refining medicine until midnight, when Mo Yong forcibly took away the furnace and she stopped.
Ruoruo nestled in her eggshell, gazing longingly at Mo Yong: "Can I sleep with Daddy in the Ziwei Immortal Pavilion tonight? Xixiang Palace is so far away, I don't want to walk back."
It was indeed quite late, and his Evil Poison Seal was stable, so Mo Yong didn't rush Ruoruo back: "Alright, I'll let you stay today."
Ruoruo the cat smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Thank you, Daddy."
Mo Yong transformed into a large cat, curled the eggshell into the center of his belly, stretched one tail into the eggshell, and gently patted Ruoruo: "Sleep."
The next day, while Ruoruo was learning alchemy from Qingmu, she asked him, "Master, could you give Ruoruo another alchemy furnace as a spare?"
Aoki frowned: "Your father didn't even prepare a pill-refining furnace for you?"
"Father prepared two for me, and then said he would use the best materials to make the best stove for Ruoruo." Ruoruo said a little shyly, "I accidentally burned one yesterday, so I want to keep another one as a spare."
Aoki handed two stoves to Ruoruo: "These are the ones I used when I was young. They're not high-grade, so it's good to have them as spares for you. Humph, Your Majesty doesn't even prepare a few more stoves for you. How can you be a proper father?"
Ruoruo lowered her head somewhat guiltily, saying, "I'm sorry, Father. This time, I can only use you as an excuse."
In the afternoon, the little snow leopard lay on the ground with its tongue lolling out, looking at the kitten who was still trying to stand on the clouds: "What's wrong with Your Highness Ruoruo? You were serious before, but you didn't go this far."
He couldn't keep up with Ruoruo's speed at all.
Mo Xuanshuang and Mo Jinyan squatted together and exchanged information for a long time, but they still couldn't find any reliable answers.
Ruoruo didn't tell them anything either. Instead, as soon as school was over, she had Luojin Fairy close the door of Xixiang Palace: "I'm going to rest now. Brothers, go play by yourselves."
The little white tiger responded regretfully and could only turn and leave dejectedly.
Mo Jinyan patted the little white tiger's head with the tip of his wing and said with exasperation, "Idiot, you actually left."
If this is so unusual, something must be going on!
"Ruoruo needs to rest, but she can't play with me. Why isn't she leaving? You don't want to disturb Ruoruo's rest, do you?" Mo Xuanshuang said warily.
Mo Jinyan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fine, then you can go."
Don't blame this silly tiger for not calling him next time.
As soon as Mo Xuanshuang left, Mo Jinyan hurriedly sent a message to Mo Yunlan: "Come to Xixiang Palace immediately, and don't be discovered."
Then, because he was too far from Ruoruo, he couldn't help but start to doze off, so he had no choice but to fall asleep in the flower garden outside Xixiang Palace.
Seeing that the two princes outside Xixiang Palace had left, Luo Jin turned around and went back to report to Ruoruo.
Ruoruo, who had been lying in the eggshell pretending to be asleep, suddenly rolled over and got up. As she slid out, she instructed Luo Jin, "No matter who comes, you must say that I am sleeping. Don't let them know that I have gone out."
"Yes, I understand."
Ruoruo, familiar with the place, secretly slipped into the Ziwei Immortal Pavilion, completely unaware that two older brothers were following her.
With Mo Jinyan perched on his head, Mo Yunlan stroked his chin and said, "We're just here to see Mother, what's the big deal about sneaking around?"
Seeing Ruoruo ignoring the barrier and moving unimpeded, Mo Jinyan chattered, "You need to think of a way quickly, otherwise we won't be able to get in if she goes in."
"Tsk, that's easy." Mo Yunlan took out a token directly.
Mo Jinyan's beady eyes widened: "This is Big Brother's token. You even dare to steal Big Brother's token."
"This isn't stealing, it's just a brother borrowing something. I'll return it to him later." Mo Yunlan's lips curled into a smirk, his words carrying a hint of roguishness.
Mo Jinyan, thinking that he still needed Mo Yunlan to get in, swallowed his words of advice and instead praised, "Second Brother is the best. Let's hurry up and follow him."
Ruoruo ran all the way to Yan Qingran's room, and as always, rubbed against Yan Qingran through the Soul Nourishing Jade, before taking out eleven alchemy furnaces directly from her spatial storage.
"I was afraid that if I let Luo Jin buy alchemy furnaces, Father would find out and become suspicious, so I went to Master's place and borrowed two more." Ruoruo carefully placed spiritual fire on each alchemy furnace, her beautiful cat eyes reflecting the shimmering light, her determination unwavering.
"If the elixir isn't effective because its level is too low, then practice making more at once!"
She needed to hurry while her father was still handling state affairs in the Taiji Hall.
If my father finds out, he will definitely be very worried.
Dozens of medicinal herbs fell into different alchemy furnaces at the same time.
If she deliberately chooses the same kind of elixir, the temperature required for each furnace will be the same, making it easier for her to control.
Mo Jinyan, who was secretly observing from outside, was so surprised that he almost fell off Mo Yunlan's head: "There's such a thing as refining pills like this? Refining and combining pills requires the utmost concentration. If you do it like this, won't the furnace explode when you're combining the pills?"
“She may not want to combine the pills.” Mo Yunlan saw through some clues. “Look at the spiritual herbs she chose.”
“Mica root, fire element, can be used to refine pills that are only suitable for Golden Immortals. To refine these pills, Ruoruo would need to reach at least the Golden Immortal level…” Mo Jinyan was so worried he was practically falling out of his skin. “But Ruoruo is a Celestial Immortal. Forcing her to refine them would backfire on her… She clearly can’t combine the pills. Why would she do this?”
"I don't know either, so I can only observe for now. If there is any danger, I will immediately take action to save Ruoruo," Mo Yunlan said.
The man and the bird squatted down directly under the window, staring intently at Ruoruo, ready to help at any moment.
