"Yiting, you must remember to stay calm at all times. Don't panic when you encounter setbacks. The more panicked you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes."
Qin Luo spoke to her earnestly, saying that it was fortunate he was by her side today. If she were to encounter something that caused her confidence to collapse one day, he would be devastated.
When Yiting heard this, she knew he was talking about her previous failed attempt at picking fruit, but whenever she thought about it, she would remember the warm feeling of his hand covering the back of her hand.
It was like a warm current flowing quietly through her heart, causing her cheeks to flush.
"Master, I've got it."
Yi Ting said softly, her eyes revealing determination and a hint of shyness.
Seeing this, Qin Luo didn't say anything more. It was almost noon, and he had to find the remaining medicinal herbs quickly. After all, he had promised Xia Zihan that he would go back early today, and if he was late, who knows what kind of trouble might arise.
Fortunately, the monsters on this plain were generally only around the Spirit Awakening Realm, which was nothing to him.
Two hours later, the two had collected the main ingredient, Spirit Awakening Grass, and the auxiliary ingredient, Enlightenment Fruit, needed for the Spirit Awakening Pill.
Not only that, they also collected a considerable amount of other medicinal herbs from the Spiritual Awakening Realm, enough for a period of time.
During this time, he also explained a lot of basic pharmacology knowledge to Yiting, and she listened very attentively.
Half an hour later, the two returned to their residence in the town.
With a wave of his hand, Qin Luo summoned three medicinal herbs before him: Spirit Awakening Grass, Enlightenment Fruit, and Heart-Clearing Flower, all of which were needed to refine the Spirit Awakening Pill.
"Watch closely, I'm about to show you my true skills!"
"A special skill?"
Yi Ting's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. When she was a servant in the Li family, she had seen some young masters pull some pretty servants into their rooms, and at that time she would hear the young masters say that they would show her their special skills.
Could it be that Master wants to stay with her...? Should I accept, or should I accept?
Yiting was filled with anticipation.
However, the next moment, Qin Luo's face turned solemn, and after taking a deep breath, streaks of spiritual flames appeared in his dantian.
Under Qin Luo's control, this spiritual flame is equivalent to a natural alchemy furnace, which is precisely the heaven-defying aspect of the Flame Rhyme Sacred Body.
The moment the spirit flame appeared, it precisely enveloped the spirit grass, rapidly melting it with high temperature.
Under the intense heat of the spiritual flame, the impurities of the Spiritual Awakening Grass were gradually refined, and its essence was slowly revealed.
Next, the Qingxin Flower was also drawn in by a stream of emerald green spiritual energy. At this moment, the temperature of the spiritual flames decreased slightly, using gentle heat to purify the Qingxin Flower, melting it into a milky white liquid, which then merged with the essence of the Lingjue Grass.
Finally, the spiritual energy drew the Enlightenment Fruit inside. The temperature of the spiritual flame instantly increased significantly, causing the Enlightenment Fruit to be immediately incinerated into a bright blue cloud of energy upon placement. This cloud of energy enveloped the liquid and essence at the center of the spiritual flame.
As time went by, the spiritual flames began to gradually reduce their high temperature, and the azure aura slowly merged into the liquid.
At the same time, a rich fragrance of cinnamon permeated the room.
When Yi Ting, who was standing to the side, saw Qin Luo refining pills, she realized that she had misunderstood. Her face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
But she quickly suppressed her emotions and focused on watching him refine the pills; this was a rare opportunity.
Qin Luo was completely focused on his work and didn't notice Yi Ting's changing thoughts at all. His gaze was fixed on the pill that was about to take shape in the spiritual flame, and he was controlling the temperature of the flame in his mind.
Finally, when the spiritual flame was completely extinguished, a deep blue pill slowly fell into Qin Luo's hand.
"Not bad, a top-grade Spirit Awakening Pill."
Qin Luo was very satisfied with this alchemy session; it seemed that the insights gained from being a second-grade alchemist were quite useful.
"Yiting, have you understood anything about this alchemy process?" Qin Luo turned to Yiting and asked.
"Master, I roughly understand the steps. Can I give it a try?"
Yi Ting looked at the pills in his hand and said with some interest, a sudden urge to refine pills welled up in her heart.
"You're still too impatient. Alchemy requires spiritual flames. You have to wait until you have your own spiritual energy before you can do it, hmm?"
Qin Luo was about to tell her not to be too ambitious, but the next moment he saw a faint green spiritual flame appear on her body!
What's going on here?
Seeing Qin Luo point to the pale green flames on her body, Yi Ting replied sincerely:
"Master, you mean this? This suddenly appeared when I was cultivating this morning, and I don't know what happened to it."
Qin Luo's lips twitched. So the cultivation technique and physique he obtained were fake, right?
Moreover, she only reached the Spiritual Awareness Realm and yet she already generated spiritual flames. Isn't that a bit too heaven-defying?
"Master, is there something wrong with me?" Yi Ting asked cautiously, looking at his complicated expression.
Qin Luo took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into her body to examine her.
"I see!"
After examining the area, Qin Luo discovered the problem. It turned out that her spiritual flame was stored in her already lit acupoints. When she entered the Spiritual Awareness Realm, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was attracted by her Flame Rhyme Sacred Body, which is why it surged into her acupoints and then transformed into spiritual flame after the change in her physique.
"Your spiritual flames are unharmed. Since you can use these spiritual flames, then you are qualified to refine pills."
Qin Luo said with a complicated expression.
Yi Ting was delighted to hear that she could refine pills. When she saw Qin Luo's encouraging look, she took a deep breath, and then several pale green spiritual flames appeared under her guidance.
The moment the spiritual flame appeared, it enveloped the three medicinal herbs and then refined them at different temperatures.
"Yiting, did you carefully observe my alchemy steps just now?" Qin Luo's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this; her alchemy was completely the opposite of his.
"Master, Master. I don't know either. I hadn't even activated it yet, and the flames rushed over on their own."
Yi Ting looked at Qin Luo with a somewhat helpless expression.
At this moment, the three medicinal herbs quickly dissolved under the precise temperature control of the spiritual flames. Then, the three flames merged into one, and the liquid within them also fused together. Instantly, a high temperature was generated in the room, along with a rich fragrance of medicinal pills.
"How is that possible! Her alchemy technique is more than twice as fast as mine, and judging from the aroma, it's probably a top-grade Spirit Awakening Pill!"
However, activating such a high-temperature spiritual flame was still too much for Yi Ting's current level. In just a short while, her face turned pale, and her aura was rapidly weakening.
"It seems there's still a lack of spiritual energy," Qin Luo said with some regret upon seeing this.
Just then, Yi Ting's aura suddenly surged, and several spiritual flames reappeared from her body!
Meanwhile, the system's mechanical notification sound appeared in Qin Luo's mind.
