The disciple hesitated for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, Daoist, this way please."
The two passed through several palaces and arrived directly at a spacious room. In the center of the room was a pill furnace taller than a person, and around it were some common magical tools and talismans needed for alchemy.
Kui Bi stepped forward, circled the alchemy furnace, and nodded in satisfaction. The top-grade black iron alchemy furnace was indeed the most suitable for alchemy. However, the furnace was slightly cool, as if no one had used it for a long time. It was clear that the alchemy room had just been specially cleaned.
He had just inspected the alchemy room when someone entered shortly afterward. The leader was a Golden Core stage disciple who smiled and clasped his hands in greeting, "Daoist Kui, I am Ling Qi, the steward of the True Transformation Sect. Daoist, you must be tired from your journey."
"You're too kind, Lord Ling!" Kui Bi nodded, seemingly unaccustomed to formalities, and said directly, "Now that I'm here, let's start refining the pills. The Bone Forging Pill is a seventh-grade pill, and I only have a 70% chance of success. I've already made it clear that I will do my best to refine it, but if the pill is ruined, it's just bad luck!" Refining pills inherently has a certain chance of failure, and 70% is already quite high.
“We are well aware of the rules, so we have come up with some solutions…” Ling Qi nodded nonchalantly. “I don’t know how it usually goes, but this time, I believe Dao Lord will succeed on the first try.”

Kui Bi was startled by the other person's appearance and subconsciously asked, "This is...?"
“This is the only follower of my sect leader, Venerable Yuan Qi.” Ling Qi explained, then said to Yuan Qi, “Venerable, the sect leader instructed that you need to make this trip and stay in the pill-making room until the pill is completed.”
“Alright.” Yuan Qi nodded good-naturedly, found a chair, sat on the right side of the alchemy room, looked up at the bewildered Kui Bi in the middle, and smiled gently, “No need to worry, I’ll just sit here for a while, you can continue refining pills.”
Kui Bi: "..."
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
What the heck?
The Venerable One personally oversaw the alchemy process; how could he not care?!
