For a full hour, Xiao Feng sat in front of the medicinal herbs, studying the techniques in the manual.
Lu Xue'er stood idly at the door. No one had ever been able to refuse her invitation in the alchemy room before, Xiao Feng was the first.
She peeked out of the alchemy room and complained, "Why haven't you started alchemy yet? Is he playing a trick on me?"
Little did she know that Xiao Feng's attention was entirely focused on the manual, and he had completely forgotten about Lu Xue'er standing at the door.
In the blink of an eye, the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed.
Lu Xue'er was in a real predicament at the door, so she decided to go into the alchemy room and mock Xiao Feng.
However, she had only taken one step forward when she immediately saw Xiao Feng stand up.
"They've started refining pills?"
Xiao Feng heard the sound at the door, glanced at her coldly, and went to the cauldron on his own.
He originally thought that he had never refined elixirs before, and that the contents of the manual must be celestial books.
Who would have thought that after just one reading, all the contents of the manual were etched into his mind, and he even understood the inner meaning of it.
Since this was his first time refining pills, he couldn't refine any particularly powerful pills, so he could only choose a Spirit Assisting Pill to aid cultivation.
The Spirit-Boosting Pill is considered to be a beginner-level alchemist's refining technique. Xiao Feng plans to try refining it and see if he can succeed.
Lu Xue'er watched as Xiao Feng placed the medicinal herbs and manuals on the table, and sneered, "I'd like to see if you can refine any finished pills."
Just as Xiao Feng was about to make his move, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Lu Xue'er's face. His spiritual energy burst from his hand and slammed heavily against the door.
In an instant, the door to the alchemy room was slammed shut.
According to the rules inside the alchemy room, once the people inside start refining pills, no one outside has the right to enter.
Otherwise, if someone who comes in later causes the alchemist in the alchemy room to go mad, he will have to bear all the responsibility.
Even though Lu Xue'er held a significant position within the Qingzong sect, she dared not rashly enter the alchemy room and obediently remained at the door.
At this moment, Xiao Feng returned to the cauldron and poured his spiritual energy into it once again.
This time, he used the method from the secret manual to slowly raise the temperature inside the cauldron.
In just ten breaths, a cluster of flames slowly rose inside the cauldron.
Xiao Feng looked at the flames inside, a smile on his face: "I never imagined that starting a fire would be so simple."
The reason he couldn't start a fire using brute force was simply because he used the wrong method.
Now that the flames inside the cauldron have stabilized, Xiao Feng, following the instructions in the manual, threw in one medicinal herb after another in order.
Although he made many mistakes in alchemy, he had plenty of medicinal herbs and didn't need to worry about failing.
In the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Xiao Feng looked at the glittering pill inside the cauldron and slapped the lid of the cauldron hard.
Instantly, the pill flew out and landed in front of him.
Xiao Feng enveloped his hands with spiritual energy, retrieved the pill, placed it in the box, and smiled broadly: "Haha, it's done."
This was his first time refining pills, and he had no idea whether the pills in his hands would be useful.
He himself dared not easily try the pills he refined, for fear that his body might have a reaction.
Now that the pill had been successfully refined, he lost interest in staying in the alchemy room and planned to return to the courtyard to ask the sect leader for his opinion.
As the sect leader of the Qing Sect, she might not be able to distinguish some high-grade pills, but she should be able to tell the difference between these low-grade pills.
Xiao Feng put the remaining medicinal herbs from the alchemy room into his clothes, and placed the manual back in its original place.
Inside the alchemy room, all the alchemy rooms are shared, and as soon as he leaves, someone will immediately take his place.
Nobody wants to come to the alchemy room to help others clean up unused medicinal herbs, since everyone who comes here has their own pride.
As soon as he opened the door to the alchemy room, Lu Xue'er walked over and glanced at the table inside.
Just as she had guessed, the medicinal herbs on the table were gone. She looked at Xiao Feng with a face full of anger: "You...you actually wasted all those medicinal herbs?"
Xiao Feng completely ignored her, walked past her, and left the alchemy room.
Lu Xue'er watched Xiao Feng's retreating figure and gritted her teeth: "This guy actually dared to waste so many rare medicinal herbs with such self-righteousness, he deserves to die."
To check if any medicinal herbs had escaped, she immediately went into the alchemy room.
At this moment, Xiao Feng had already come out from inside, stretching and yawning: "It seems that alchemy is also a very tiring thing."
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from behind him: "Dude, I knew you were here."
Xiao Feng subconsciously turned around and found himself standing in front of him.
People around pointed at the medicine bottle in Xiao Feng's hand: "What's that in your hand? Did you secretly take something good from the alchemy room?"
Given their relationship, the people around felt that Xiao Feng wouldn't be angry if he took something from Xiao Feng.
Xiao Feng saw the Spirit-Boosting Pills he had refined being poured out around him and looked at him with a nervous expression: "You can't eat this pill."
As if he hadn't heard a thing, he swallowed the pill in one gulp, then looked at Xiao Feng with a bewildered expression: "What did you just say?"
Now that he has swallowed the pill, there is no chance for him to regret it.
Xiao Feng had originally planned to take the pills to the sect leader to ask, but now he didn't need to do that. He looked at him with a nervous expression.
However, there was no reaction from those around them, their faces full of incomprehension: "What did you bring out? Why didn't I feel anything after eating it?"
In the minds of the Qingzong disciples, the pills refined in the alchemy room should all be of the highest quality.
Looking at the astonished expressions around him, Xiao Feng awkwardly rubbed his nose and said, "I don't know what that thing is either. It shouldn't be dangerous, right?"
Everyone around assumed that the pills in Xiao Feng's hand were something to enhance his strength, but no one expected that even he didn't know what they were.
At this moment, he felt that the Spirit-Boosting Pill he had refined might be a failure, and that the medicinal effects of all the herbs had probably been lost in the raging fire.
This pill is just solidified residue from medicinal herbs and will not cause any harm to the body.
Thinking of this, Xiao Feng shrugged helplessly and said, "I have something to discuss with the sect leader, so I won't stay here with you. I'll take you to see the alchemy room next time."
Upon hearing that Xiao Feng was willing to bring them to the alchemy room in the future, those around him immediately smiled and said, "I'll wait for you to come find me."
