It has to be said that Ye Sisi was discouraged. The pills she refined were indeed a bit ugly, but at least they were rolled into a ball, so let's save her some face!
But it's okay, she's mentally strong. Besides, what her second senior sister said wasn't wrong; it didn't really seem like a pill. So she shamelessly said, "Second senior sister, I don't know how to do that, so I came to ask you for help. There are still many things I don't understand."
"Have you finished reading the Hundred Herbs Manual? Have you read the basic alchemical texts?"
Ye Sisi nodded affirmatively, pointing to her brain and saying, "I not only read it, but I also memorized it all!"
"Alright, try refining the Spirit Gathering Pill!"
Ouyang Yanyu felt she had never been so annoyed in her entire life. This junior sister seemed like a smart girl, but how come she was so clueless when it came to refining pills?
Actually, that's not quite right. She was even more annoyed than cultivators who had no talent for alchemy. It wasn't that she was stupid or lacked comprehension; it was just that the pills she refined all had some rather special effects.
Take, for example, a regular Spirit Gathering Pill. Normally, Spirit Gathering Pills refined by alchemists are used by cultivators to help them absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But the one she refined, while it also has the effect of gathering spiritual energy, why the hell does it also have the effect of aphrodisiac?
The key point is that the elixir contains twice the amount of poison as a regular Spirit Gathering Pill. If you take such a Spirit Gathering Pill, you'll immediately suffer a qi deviation!
Most importantly, the shape of the pill was extremely ugly, which made Ouyang Yanyu, who had severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, feel very uncomfortable.
At this moment, Ouyang Yanyu was playing with the antidote pill that Ye Sisi had just refined in her hand and fell into silence. She couldn't understand why a perfectly good antidote pill was more poisonous than ordinary poison. "Junior Sister, why don't you stop learning alchemy? It's not only for your own good, but also for the good of others!"
She was clearly watching this junior sister refine pills. From selecting medicinal materials and refining the medicinal liquid to condensing the pill, every step seemed to be fine, but at the same time, every step seemed to have a problem. She couldn't quite put her finger on it. After all, she was a genius-level pill cultivator, but she always felt a strange sense of powerlessness when facing this new junior sister.
Ye Sisi fell silent upon hearing this. She had initially thought that there was something wrong with her steps, but now it seemed that her steps were correct. So the problem was with her; the pills she was refining contained toxins.
"Second Senior Sister, please wait a moment. Let me try refining something else!"
Ouyang Yanyu nodded indifferently. In any case, she felt that this junior sister was not suitable for alchemy, and perhaps swordsmanship was more suitable for her.
Ye Sisi refined a poison pill this time. She wanted to see if the poison pill she refined would be more poisonous than the usual ones. After a while, she opened the furnace and took out two dark, pitted pills.
She first held it under her nose and smelled it before handing it to Ouyang Yanyu, who was standing to the side: "Second Senior Sister, take a look!"
Ouyang Yanyu took it, broke off a piece and tasted it, then looked at Ye Sisi with a complicated expression: "You might be very good at being a poison cultivator!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Sisi fell into deep thought. She didn't really want to become a poison cultivator; she was just thinking about how to maximize the value of these poisons.
Of course, she wouldn't release it to sell and harm people. Although the cultivation world is a dog-eat-dog world, she didn't want to bear so much karma for nothing. However, poison can sometimes be a powerful weapon if used properly.
Seeing that her junior sister was seriously thinking about something, Ouyang Yanyu couldn't help but say, "Junior sister, you don't really want to become a poison cultivator, do you? Let me give you some advice, Master will not allow it. You should focus on cultivating your sword. If you need any pills, just come to me!"
Ye Sisi smiled. This second senior sister wasn't as aloof as she seemed on the surface. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!"
Although Ouyang Yanyu doubted her words, she was not a talkative person to begin with, so she didn't say anything more. She just nodded slightly and said, "Is there anything else? If not, I'm going to cultivate!"
Ye Sisi shook her head: "Second Senior Sister, go cultivate. I should go back to cultivate too!"
After saying goodbye to Ouyang Yanyu, Ye Sisi walked back while pondering all sorts of random things. Just as she passed the martial arts arena, she heard a familiar voice!
"Oh, you're awake!"
Ye Sisi stiffened, then tried to adjust her expression, and bowed with a smile, saying, "Thanks to Master! I was spared from death!"
Meng Tianyuan couldn't help but twitch his lips. Wasn't it all thanks to him? That was a priceless Spirit-Replenishing Pill, and it was just wasted like that!
Then he started to unleash his sharp tongue: "You're really useless. You managed to blow yourself up while drawing a stupid talisman. You were a proper sword cultivator, but you insisted on becoming a talisman cultivator. In the end, you didn't even draw a talisman, and you almost lost your life. You're just asking for trouble. If you ever die, it'll definitely be because you brought it on yourself..."
“Master is right. If I die one day, it will definitely have nothing to do with Master!”
Meng Tianyuan choked. Was that what he meant? Was he trying to remind her not to do that? So he got even angrier.
Ye Sisi, who had angered her devilish master, just wanted to slap herself. Why did she have to be so talkative? Couldn't she have just listened to the lecture obediently?
"What, your legs aren't as good as your mouth? Someone like you would have died countless times if you encountered the enemy!"
While Meng Tianyuan was making sarcastic remarks, he kicked Ye Sisi in the stomach. Ye Sisi grimaced and got up from the ground. It seemed like she had been tricked today. It looked like her devilish master wouldn't let her off the hook.
"Someone like you can't even master swordsmanship and movement, yet you dare to mess around with all this nonsense? Who do you think you are, a peerless genius?! How many brains do you even have?"
Ye Sisi felt that her cheap master was right. She had indeed let herself go a bit. Since she didn't have any talent in weapon crafting and alchemy, she should focus on sword practice and talisman drawing!
"Master, I was wrong!"
Meng Tianyuan snorted coldly, "What are you standing there for? Did I tell you to rest?"
Ye Sisi could only reluctantly pick up her sword and continue to be beaten, while also making up her mind: if your unscrupulous master won't let me have an easy time, then you won't have an easy time either. Don't even think about that million spirit stones.
"Didn't your senior brother teach you some techniques? Why aren't you using them? Why are you so inflexible in combat? Are you a toad? You only move when you poke it!"
Ye Sisi gritted her teeth. Couldn't this cheap master just shut up? How could his mouth be so annoying!
One spell after another, accompanied by Ye Sisi's hand gestures, attacked Meng Tianyuan. Meng Tianyuan continued to mock, "What, is this all your senior brother taught you? The most important thing about spells is speed, don't you understand? You think you can become a celestial being just by making a few pretty hand gestures? Do you think your opponents won't attack you then?"
Ye Sisi's forehead veins throbbed with anger. Did this master have no heart at all? She was just a minor Qi Refining cultivator, and she had only been learning sword techniques and magic for a short time. Couldn't he at least have some decency?
