Chapter 16 Chapter 16 [Thanks for 20,000 favorites and more updates]
Since receiving permission from Mr. Jiang to study in his school, Yan Luoyue's daily life has become regular.
Every morning, Yan Gan would take her to school with him.
Yan Luoyue's turtle form is only the size of a copper coin.
This cute little turtle is very convenient to carry in a school bag, in a sleeve, or tucked into a scarf.
Yan Yu, who was clever and deft, was afraid that Yan Luoyue would catch a cold, so she knitted a small turtle shell for her out of wool the night before.
This dress was very popular in the school.
——Just imagine, a round, white velvety woolen shell with a hand-woven yellow forsythia on top. The little turtle in the sweater is so cute, and it tilts half of its head towards you.
Who can resist such a cute picture?
Anyway, when seeing this scene, everyone who is close to Yan Luoyue can't help but touch her head; people who are not so familiar with her can't help but pull the woolen flower on her back.
When they arrive at school and walk into the warm classroom, Yan Luoyue will crawl out of Yan Gan's sleeve and turn into a human form again.
A little further forward than the first row, near the window, the Zhen class specially added a set of small tables and chairs for Yan Luoyue.
The fresh rattan weaving craftsmanship was kindly provided by Jiang Tingbai, and the distance between the tables and chairs was just right for Yan Luoyue's height.
After a few literature classes, it was time for lunch.
Generally speaking, Yan Yu would bring the same lunch for Yan Gan and Yan Luoyue.
However, every time they actually ate, Yan Luoyue's recipes were always much richer than Yan Gan's.
Because her classmates would take the initiative to give her extra food.
Take Sang Ji for example, he and Yan Luoyue are acquainted with each other through fighting. This little bully of the evil forces in the class now claims to be Yan Luoyue's half-brother.
Sang Ji often played a snack game with Yan Luoyue, where "call me brother and you'll get a bag of fruit as a reward." They did this for a long time and never got tired of it.
Originally, Yan Luoyue just wanted to show her respect and call him twice.
but……
But the strawberries and watermelons in winter are so delicious!
In the afternoon, when the classmates all went to martial arts class, Jiang Tingbai would take Yan Luoyue away.
Except for the first day, Jiang Tingbai never hugged Yan Luoyue again.
Perhaps due to the inherent human view, he always thinks that letting children walk around more by themselves is better than having adults hold them.
If Jiang Tingbai didn't have to attend class in the afternoon, he would take Yan Luoyue to the staff lounge, give her many easy-to-understand enlightenment books, and patiently answer her questions at any time.
And if Jiang Tingbai has a class in the afternoon, he will turn Yan Luoyue into a little turtle and carry her with him.
Oh, by the way, Jiang Tingbai has a little-known hobby.
As for Yan Luoyue who turned into a turtle, everyone liked to pull the winter jasmine flowers on her turtle-shell sweater.
Only Jiang Tingbai has a keen eye and particularly likes to pick flowers.
Just like this, day after day, Yan Luoyue's new life gradually got on the right track.
Under the one-on-one guidance of Mr. Jiang, Yan Luoyue's cultivation improved day by day, and gradually there were signs of transitioning from the early stage of Qi refining to the middle stage of Qi refining.
The second benefit of going to school is that Yan Luoyue found a reasonable explanation for his abilities.
To be honest, Yan Luoyue has been itching to refine a weapon for a long time.
She wanted to reshape Yan Yu's algae web even before she learned how to transform.
Unfortunately, it has been almost two years now, and Yan Luoyue still hasn't found the right opportunity.
Going to school provided Yan Luoyue with new conveniences.
She could easily tell Yan Yu that she learned the skill of refining weapons from the basic introductory book given to her by Jiang Tingbai.
Of course, everything is better done step by step.
Therefore, Yan Luoyue prepared to reveal her true level of weapon refining step by step, and show the outside world that she was improving year by year.
As an instrument refiner, Yan Luoyue must first have a furnace, and secondly, find usable fire.
There was only a furnace in Yan Luoyue's backpack, but no fire.
Moreover, the things in the backpack can only be taken out, not put in, which is quite troublesome. After all, it is difficult for Yan Luoyue to explain the origin of the things.
Therefore, Yan Luoyue made an agreement with herself: unless it was absolutely necessary, she would not easily use the items in her backpack.
In this way, the first pot of gold to purchase the elementary refining furnace and fire would have to be earned by Yan Luoyue himself.

"What, sister, you want to make an elixir?"
Yan Gan smiled in surprise, exchanged glances with Sang Ji, and replied readily, "Okay, okay, let's refine it. Do you need some fresh mud? How much do you need? Your brother Ji and I will dig it for you!"
Seeing the two people exchanging glances, Yan Luoyue helplessly held his forehead and said, "...Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to play house."
Since the last conflict in the school and the punishment they received together by Jiang Tingbai, Yan Gan and Sang Ji, the two brothers who had shared the same hardships, could be said to have become like-minded.
As far as Yan Luoyue knew, the jade slip of martial arts that Mr. Jiang lent to Sang Ji recorded a technique of storing earth that could be used by multiple people at the same time.
The more people who work together to use this technique, the more powerful it becomes.
As for Lu Gan and Sang Ji, after being punished together and moving soil together for more than a month, they seemed to have developed a problem.
No matter whether the problem is big or small, their first solution is to dig the ground.
In the past month, the two of them not only cleared the dead trees, but also formed a close brotherhood.
It is said that on the day the digging project was completed, Sang Ji made a special speech of gratitude.
He vowed: "From today on, Brother Yan, your parents are still your parents. But Brother Yan, your sister is my biological sister with my half-sisters!"
Yan Luoyue: “…” I always feel like something is not right.
Rongsheng's half-brother Sang Ji thought about it for a moment and soon realized:
"Oh, I see. My sister must have seen the alchemy book from Mr. Jiang, right?"
Yan Luoyue nodded, and added at the right time: "Not only did I see the book on alchemy, but I also saw the book on weapon refining."
Yan Gan was obviously a little confused: "Sister, do you want to refine the elixir or refine the weapon?"
Yan Luoyue was very determined: "Refine the weapon."
"But you just said it was about refining the elixir?"
Sighing sadly, Yan Luoyue held his chin with one hand and said, "Yes, it's because I can't afford a furnace and fire, so I have to make some pills to earn money first."
Sang Ji was laughing when he heard this: "Don't you need these to make the elixir?"
"The recipe I saw is not necessary." Yan Luoyue said solemnly, "This recipe is very easy to practice. As long as you lend a little help, you can help realize the dream of a future weapon master."
Of course it is easy to refine.
In Yan Luoyue's previous life, this pill recipe had the magical reputation of "the success rate of weapon refiners is higher than that of pill refiners".
Yan Luoyue asked Yan Gan and Sang Ji for help after careful consideration.
Yan Gan eats and goes out with Yan Luoyue every day, and she can't avoid him in anything, so she must get Yan Gan to join the group.
As for Sang Ji... just look at the types of fruits he feeds Yan Luoyue every day and you'll know that Sang Ji is a big dog eater!
So, Yan Luoyue wanted to recruit him as an investor.
The Black-lipped Alligator Clan was a wealthy clan among the monsters, and Sang Ji's father was an elder in the clan. As a second-generation, Sang Ji usually had plenty of pocket money.
In order to make the medicine that Yan Luoyue had in mind, the raw materials were not too expensive.
Sang Ji didn't even have to use the New Year's money.
Without saying a word, he reached into his pocket and took out this month's pocket money. After thinking for a while, Sang Ji put last month's pocket money into his wallet.
"Are these enough?"
Yan Luoyue quickly did the math in her mind: "That's enough, Brother Ji, you're so nice!"
For such a good brother who is brave enough to make sacrifices and willing to pay the first sum of money for materials for Yan Luoyue, please let Yan Luoyue respectfully call him: Financial sponsor daddy!
—————————
Originally, Yan Gan and Sang Ji did not have high hopes for Yan Luoyue's ability to refine the elixir.
Although they agreed to help Yan Luoyue prepare the materials, they did so only out of the mentality of being good brothers who wanted to "not dampen the flames of their sister's extracurricular interests" and "let her try it herself once so she will know how difficult it is to make pills."
As for Yan Luoyue's words "Brother Ji invests, brother sells, I invest in technology, and we split the money 30% to 40%", the two of them just regarded it as childish talk.
This mentality evolved to the peak after Yan Luoyue instructed them to move the materials to the kitchen and took out the important alchemy tools.
It’s not surprising that Yan Gan and Sang Ji didn’t have confidence in Yan Luoyue’s success.
It is true...
After all, the elixir refining container that Yan Luoyue took out was a big iron pot.
Yan Gan couldn't help but ask, "Sister, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"That's right." Yan Luoyue stepped on the stool and nodded firmly, "This medicinal pill needs to be stewed."
Okay, let’s stew it.
Yan Gan watched with envy as Yan Luoyue scooped several large ladles of water into the pot. When the water started to boil and white steam came out, she poured a large bag of medicinal herbs into it.
The cooking method is very messy, the proportions are not precise, and even the action of stirring the pot with a spatula looks like...
Um, um, this... is this for making pig food?
It doesn't seem very reliable!
Sang Ji is more patient than Yan Gan.
But even he couldn't help swallowing when he smelled the sweet candy smell coming out of Yan Luoyue's pot.
"Sister," Sang Ji called softly, "Why am I so hungry when I smell your elixir?"
"This is normal." Yan Luoyue held up the spatula and evenly stirred the syrupy viscous liquid in the spoon. "This medicine pill tastes sweet."
Because after all, it was not originally invented as a medicine, but as a snack recipe developed by a food-cultivating player of "One World".
Sweet, cool, and sticky.
These three core words are the essence of this pill recipe.
It is said that when the chef was exploring the configuration ratio of this recipe, the prototype he referred to was a certain Sichuan loquat cough syrup.
For this snack that has a pitch-black appearance and makes people lose their appetite at first sight, Shi Xiu named it "Sweet and Delicious Cake".
After receiving the actual products, buyers who were impressed by the name complained to the seller that they suspected fraud.
For some reason, someone pasted this sweet cake on the wound.
Then, the player was surprised to find that this thing not only has anti-inflammatory and hemostatic effects, but also has excellent analgesic ability. It can also be used as a plaster to heal bruises and injuries and heal broken bones in a very short time.
And as a sweet cake, it is actually edible!
It's amazing, it's unbelievable.
This is a miracle in the gaming world!
Players who heard about this said, "Brother, you are quite miraculous."
In short, along with this wonderful anecdote, the story of the "sweet and delicious cake" spread all over the country.
After being jointly appraised by several top alchemists from "All Realms Become One", "Sweet and Delicious Cake" was finally confirmed to be a recipe for an elixir - a panacea recipe that can be taken orally or applied topically.
Someone reminded Shi Xiu that he could give this sweet cake, ugh, this newly invented medicine a name.
The food regimen was carried out as planned.
She named this medicine "Sweet and Delicious Pill".
All players: “…”
That is to say, this product does not match the description on the board, why are you so obsessed with it?
