The colorful lightning in the sky became more and more frequent, with bolts of lightning flashing one after another in the air, almost dyeing the entire sky with seven colors.
Seeing that Dan Lei was about to descend, Su Yuewan decisively set up a barrier above Thousand Spirit Peak.
Dan Lei is not there to help with alchemy, but to sabotage it.
If it is not resisted, once the lightning strikes the alchemy furnace, the pill will be reduced to ashes and everything will return to nothingness.
Therefore, the most difficult part of refining high-grade pills is not only the pill-refining technique, but also the pill lightning.
When alchemists are refining high-level pills, they usually make preparations in advance, and those who are capable will even hire several powerful people to protect them.
Of course, Su Yuewan doesn't need it.
She herself is the strongest protector!
Seeing that Su Yuewan had already set up a barrier, Bai Hao's voice rang out somewhat uncertainly.
"I think that sect leader might not be necessary?"
"What?"
"This alchemy furnace... looks like it's about to explode..."
The cauldron that was refining pills in mid-air suddenly hid the cracks on its surface. One after another, the cracks were not the kind of tempering cracks from before, but simply cracks that were about to burst open...
Bai Hao could even see the pills already taking shape inside the alchemy furnace.
But this alchemy furnace is really going to explode!
Bai Hao quickly dodged to the side. Just then, a huge muffled sound suddenly came from the Heaven and Earth True Furnace, followed by a loud "boom" and a cloud of black smoke.
The alchemy furnace did not explode, but it also stopped refining. Instead, it quietly fell back to the ground, with wisps of black smoke rising from the cracks, which smelled a bit pungent.
The thunder in the sky suddenly stopped, instead of falling, it slowly dissipated, and the sun rose again, casting its light.
Danlei's disappearance signifies only two things.
It's either success or failure.
And now, with the alchemy furnace still smoking, Bai Hao really dared not say that the pill was finished.
"What happened?" Su Yuewan hurriedly came downstairs, her brows furrowing as she looked at the Heaven and Earth True Furnace, which had lost all its light.
"I don't know, it suddenly stopped. Could it be that the power is out?" Bai Hao muttered as he squatted down in front of the Heaven and Earth True Furnace, peering inside with one eye open and the other closed.
But the furnace was pitch black, and nothing could be seen except for the pungent smell of burning.
Needless to say, this pill definitely failed.
"Sect Master, it seems we've failed..."
"Open it and take a look." Although she knew she had failed, Su Yuewan was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
The atmosphere was so good just now, how can it be considered a failure?
"oh."
Bai Hao carefully took the lid of the Heaven and Earth True Furnace and was about to lift it up.
But at that moment, a loud "crack" was heard, and the entire Heaven and Earth Furnace shattered...
Yes, it cracked!
Just like glass that has been heated in a fire for a long time, as soon as Bai Hao touched the handle on the lid, the entire alchemy furnace cracked open piece by piece and fell to the ground with a clatter.
The alchemy furnace was empty, except for a handful of black ash.
In the end, all that was left of the entire alchemy furnace was the handle in Bai Hao's hand.
"Um, Sect Master, can you let me explain?"
Bai Hao looked at Su Yuewan and said awkwardly.
Su Yuewan: "..."
"What else is there to explain?"
"It cracked on its own, it has nothing to do with me! I just touched it! You saw it!"
"All I see is that this alchemy furnace is broken in your hands," Su Yuewan said with a dark face.
"No, you can't do this..." Bai Hao was almost in tears.
This is practically stuffing him with a dead rat!
This is clearly a problem with the alchemy furnace, so why is the responsibility being placed on him?
"If you hadn't taken out the Heaven and Earth True Stone, the Heaven and Earth True Furnace wouldn't have been able to refine pills on its own. If the Heaven and Earth True Furnace hadn't refined pills on its own, none of this would have happened. So tell me, isn't this your responsibility?" Su Yuewan said expressionlessly.
Bai Hao thought about it seriously, and it seemed... that was indeed the case.
But he was innocent!
Isn't this the True Furnace of Heaven and Earth?
Isn't it a treasure of the gods?
How did it explode while I was refining a pill?
It's one thing to have it exploded, but to not even be able to refine the elixir is just too much!
"In short, this alchemy furnace was destroyed because of you. You either need to find a way to repair it for me, or find a new alchemy furnace of the same high level, or you need to refine a Breakthrough Pill for me, otherwise..." Su Yuewan didn't finish her last words, but Bai Hao could already feel her strong threat.
If he fails to do so, his fate might be the same as this alchemy furnace...
“Yes…” Bai Hao said with a mournful face.
"Let's go." Su Yuewan waved her hand, shooing Bai Hao away.
...
Bai Hao carried a pile of black fragments back to the backyard.
"Damn it, isn't this supposed to be the Heaven and Earth True Furnace? Is this all it's capable of?"
"If you wanted to blow it up, why didn't you do it while that woman was refining pills? Why did you have to wait until I ran into you to blow it up!"
Bai Hao was truly on the verge of tears.
I should have let Su Yuewan open the furnace herself earlier. Why did he have to go and join in?
Serves them right!
Oh dear, where is he going to get a pill furnace?
[Ding! Your lottery points are full. Would you like to participate?]
At the critical moment, the system's long-absent voice rang out.
However, at this moment, even the lottery couldn't stir Bai Hao's interest.
"Go ahead and draw, if you're so capable, draw out a pill furnace for me!"
He said irritably, throwing all the broken pieces into the trash can.
[Ding! Lottery draw begins, tap tap tap...]
The system's lottery only had simulated sounds, without a visible spinning wheel, so every draw depended on the system's whims; whatever the system gave, Bai Hao got.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained one "Alchemy Furnace" and one "Complete Collection of Alchemy Recipes".]
"A pill furnace?!"
Bai Hao had only made a casual remark, but he never expected the system to actually create a pill furnace for him?!
"Hahaha, System, I absolutely love you!"
Bai Hao quickly brought out the alchemy furnace, and the next moment, he was stunned.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Bai Hao was... a rice cooker?!
That's right! Remove the question mark, and it's just a rice cooker!
This style is exactly the same as the rice cooker that Bai Hao used for ten years!
But this rice cooker is even more heartless; it doesn't even come with a charging cable!
"Damn it! System, are you kidding me?! Using a rice cooker as a substitute for alchemy?!"
"Besides, there's no electricity here, so it's useless to use it to cook rice!"
If his system could appear in front of him right now, he would definitely give it a good scolding!
This is supposed to be called a pill furnace?
[Host, this is the alchemy furnace.]
Also, please use polite language!
Bai Hao: “…”
