The next day, everything was the same as usual. In the morning, the group went to the Taoist class to sign in and study. They had lunch together, and in the afternoon, they went to the swordplay hall to practice swordsmanship for two hours.
Finally, there was the alchemy class, which Xi Yun was somewhat worried about.
Seeing Xi Yun's furrowed brows, Sui Xin comforted her, "Don't be impatient, just do as I told you yesterday."
The latter nodded and began his first alchemy session.
With a "whoosh," the herbs were burned to ashes by the high temperature of the fire, leaving Xi Yun stunned.
Then came the second, the third..., all of which failed.
Sui Xin watched from the side, offering comfort and pointing out mistakes from time to time, but Xi Yun's condition seemed even worse than yesterday; she hadn't even managed to condense her core.
"Clang clang clang," the school bell rang, and Xi Yun's last attempt at alchemy ended in failure.
There were only a few people around; the chubby boy and his friends had already left.
"Sigh," a sigh escaped her lips, and Xi Yun slumped to the ground, listless.
Sui Xin didn't say anything, just sat down next to her.
"Sui Xin, am I too stupid?" Xi Yun couldn't help but doubt herself and asked Ye Sui Xin.
Upon hearing this, Sui Xin immediately retorted, "How could that be? You're so smart, it's only a matter of time before you refine the elixir."
"Or maybe I taught it wrong. Should we ask our master?" Sui Xin suddenly thought of this question. Could it be that she taught it wrong?
With that, she pulled Xi Yun towards Lin Miao. Lin Miao was more perceptive and perhaps she could offer some guidance to Xi Yun.
Xi Yun didn't say anything, letting Sui Xin pull her along.
It was because of his presence that I found some solace.
At Xiaoyao Peak, Lin Ling opened her eyes. She was very familiar with the auras of Sui Xin and Xi Yun, so she knew they had come up as soon as they arrived.
"Master, we have some questions we'd like to ask you," Sui Xin asked, looking at Lin Ling who had sat up.
Lin Ling asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Yun'er has been refining medicine for two days, and it's getting worse and worse. I wonder if I've taught her wrong," Sui Xin explained, and then recounted the process of teaching Xi Yun to Lin Miao.
Lin Ling shook her head, "You've taught very well, no problem."
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Xiyun and continued, "Yun'er, show me how to refine it again."
Xi Yun nodded, took out the alchemy furnace, and sat down on the ground to begin refining pills.
Lin Ling noticed something amiss and spoke up to stop her, "Yun'er, don't rush, adjust your mindset first."
Yun'er did as instructed, regulated her breathing for a while, and then said, "Master, I'm ready."
Lin Ling nodded and instructed Xi Yun, "Okay, don't think that you will definitely be able to refine the pill this time. Just keep a calm mindset. It's okay to fail."
Then Xi Yun began refining pills. Unlike before, this time she appeared exceptionally calm and her pace was slow, and the changes in the herbs were as expected.
And so, she slowly reached the stage of condensing the core. Xi Yun's aura became somewhat irritable, so she couldn't help but increase the input of spiritual energy.
Seeing this, Lin Ling quickly said, "Yun'er, don't be impatient, slow down."
Upon hearing this, Xi Yun nodded, feeling relieved and no longer tense.
The pill slowly took shape in the furnace, gradually becoming perfectly round. With a flash of golden light and the aroma of medicine wafting out, the Rejuvenation Pill was complete.
Seeing this, Xi Yun couldn't hide her excitement and picked up the pill to share her joy with Sui Xin, "Sui Xin, look, I've successfully refined it!"
"See? Hurry up and thank your master," Sui Xin said, feeling happy for Xi Yun, and then looked at Lin Miao.
Xi Yun jogged over and grabbed Lin Ling's arm, "Thank you, Master."
"It's nothing," Lin Ling smiled.
He continued to instruct Xiyun, "Before, you were too eager for quick success and your mind was unstable, which made it easy for you to fail. You must remember this lesson in the future, and keep your mind steady whether you are cultivating or refining pills."
"Mm," Xi Yun nodded.
Afterwards, the two thanked Lin Miao again and went home. Xi Yun chattered non-stop the whole way, her excitement overflowing.
That evening, Xiyun was tinkering with something in her room. Suixin sat on the bed, reflecting on what she had accomplished that day.
He felt that his cultivation speed was very fast, absorbing spiritual energy for twelve hours a day, and he expected to reach the second stage in the next few days.
He no longer goes to the Buried Furnace Ground to cultivate or absorb the source of fire. After the True Phoenix Fire awakens, the fire element's enhancement to him is relatively less, and his cultivation speed is no longer so obvious, so it doesn't matter whether he goes or not.
While idly contemplating his cultivation, he suddenly noticed Xi Yun peeking out from the doorway. Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "Why don't you come in?"
"Cough cough, it's nothing."
"This, this is for you, consider it compensation for the past two days," Xi Yun walked in and casually tossed Ye Suixin a somewhat crudely made peace talisman containing the Spirit Recovery Pill she had refined that day.
She made the amulet while Suixin was in a coma, intending to give it to him as a return gift as a hairpin, but she forgot about it later.
Wow~
When Xi Yun heard Sui Xin call out, she thought he liked it, but the next sentence made her face darken.
"It's so ugly!"
Xi Yun gritted her teeth: "Sui Xin, do you want it or not? If not, give it back to me."
Sui Xin laughed and replied, "Yes, yes, yes! Even if it's ugly, I'll still take it!"
"Then you can't give that pill to anyone else. This is my first one," Ye Xiyun said, her expression slightly better.
"How could that be? I wouldn't even dare to eat it myself."
"Also, you must carry this with you at all times; it will keep you safe, understand?"
"Okay, my little aunt."
Xi Yun punched Sui Xin in the stomach, annoyed, "Who are you calling grandma? I'm your older sister."
"Okay, my dear sister," Sui Xin felt that she was being bullied more and more often, and she didn't know what the future held.
"Hmph, that's more like it."
......
The next day, Xi Yun looked at the amulet around Sui Xin's waist and felt indescribably happy and delighted.
......
......
"Suixin, when are you two going to take on a mission?" Qianyu asked as the group of six walked toward the alchemy hall.
Sui Xin was taken aback. "Does the task have to be done too?"
Wu Qianyu nodded, "The task score for each academic year cannot be less than 100 points, otherwise it will be considered as failing the standard, and the group that fails the standard will be sent to the Eighth Peak."
"Oh, I haven't thought about that yet."
Hearing this, the chubby boy chimed in, "Then, how about the six of us take on a bigger mission? We can also help you two test the waters."
Sui Xin and Xi Yun exchanged a glance and nodded. "We're fine with it, it just depends on whether you're willing."
Sui Xin intended to treat the young cultivators in front of him as friends, so he didn't say many polite words.
"I'm fine."
"no problem",
"Can",
Lu Cheng, Peng Fei, and Qian Yu spoke in turn.
The chubby boy snapped his fingers. "That's settled then. We'll check the mission sheet after we finish concocting the medicine."
