Zishu was about to say something more, but seeing Ye Xiruo's expression, he immediately shut up and prepared to be a quiet, handsome man.
Ten minutes later, the teacup in Zishu's hand trembled slightly and almost fell to the ground.
Looking up, he saw that his junior sister's refining process seemed to have failed, with a pile of black slag in front of her. Of course, his junior sister's face was also similar to the black slag. Zishu finally found some comfort, pretending not to see it, and continued to drink his tea and watch the show.
Half an hour later, with a loud "boom," Ye Xiruo had ruined another batch of pills. Somewhat frustrated, she poured out the waste residue, her face even darker. Luckily, this cauldron was green; if it had been an ordinary cauldron, it would have exploded long ago.
Ye Xiruo's dark eyes looked at Zishu, as if silently questioning him. They were almost able to refine a top-grade pill, but then the furnace exploded one after another.
"Your control over the flames is insufficient." After thinking for a moment, Zishu pointed out the crux of the problem directly.
Ye Xiruo became even more frustrated. The power of the strange fire was not something she could control simply by wanting to. Moreover, Qinglian Tian already disliked her.
Zishu feigned helplessness and said, "Junior Sister, you can do it."
If Ye Xi wanted to cry but couldn't shed a tear, was she just sitting there watching a play?
Fortunately, she was now a third-grade alchemist, and all she needed were low-grade medicinal herbs, so even if she ruined the process, the loss wouldn't be significant. Thinking this way, Ye Xiruo's frustration dissipated considerably.
After throwing Qinglian Tian into the greenery and cleaning the alchemy cauldron, Ye Xiruo continued refining the Suxin Pill.
Next, Ye Xiruo blew things up several more times, but her control over Qingliantian was indeed steadily improving.
"Junior Sister, keep up the good work." Zishu looked at the good-for-nothing next to Ye Xiruo with a smile, and finally felt a little better.
This method of refining pills was already incredibly advanced; it took him a whole month just to get the hang of it. He also ruined countless pills in the process.
"I will keep working hard," Ye Xiruo said with high spirits.
After Zishu left, Ye Xiruo continued to devote herself to the great cause of alchemy.
With the greenery, the furnace finally stopped exploding; at worst, it would just produce a pile of waste. The next morning, Ye Xiruo, sporting huge dark circles under her eyes and looking like a paper doll, opened the door. Unsurprisingly, outside stood the Black and White Impermanence Zishu and the Shadow Seeker duo.
"Junior Sister, you've been practicing all night." Zishu was somewhat surprised.
"Mmm." Ye Xiruo nodded. Although her body was exhausted after refining all night, her mental energy was very high.
"How were the results?" Zishu raised an eyebrow.
Ye Xiruo excitedly took out a bottle from her ring, poured out a Pure Heart Pill, and handed it to Zishu.
"Judging from its appearance, it seems to be a few sizes larger than ordinary Pure Heart Pills, and the spiritual energy it contains is almost comparable to that of top-grade pills. Its effects are probably not bad either."
Zishu ate the Pure Heart Pill directly, smacked his lips, and said, "It tastes pretty good."
"That's right, I added flavoring on purpose."
Yingxun: Are you sure it's alchemy and not cooking?
"How many pills were produced from one batch?"
Ye Xiruo lowered her head somewhat guiltily: "One."
"What?" Even Yingxun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"It is a pill that condenses all the medicinal properties, a pill that can be called a perfect pill, and it is also the most perfect pill that I can refine at present."
Both Yingxun and Zishu expressed their inability to understand the divine master's way of thinking.
After eating and resting for a while, Zishu was about to publicly concoct medicine.
The news had already been released, and the entire square was almost full of people.
Of course, with Yingxun as their living advertisement, the three of them easily walked in, with Zishu receiving the most ambiguous glances.
"Zhang Ming, what a coincidence! How did we run into you? Aren't you supposed to be in seclusion?"
"I just got out of customs yesterday, that won't do."
"You didn't come out of the pass just for Zishu, did you?"
"You came here for the same reason as me, so what right do you have to say such things?"
"I will be just like you. My goal and faith will always be the Medicine King. People like Zishu are simply not worthy of being compared to the Medicine King, okay?"
"Speaking of which, the Medicine King hasn't publicly refined pills for almost thirty years. I think you have no hope in this lifetime?"
"Hmph, if we can't see the Medicine King make a move, can't we at least see Senior Brother Yingxun make a move?"
"So what do you want from here?"
"Of course he's a spy! Look at this Zishu, he's not even worth mentioning, yet he's on par with the senior brother!" Bao Bao protested.
On the other side, in the gathering place for female cultivators, a group of heroic female alchemists gathered together, their cheeks flushed with excitement.
"I heard that my senior brother is coming today, so I specially changed my hairstyle."
“The eldest disciple also came yesterday.” Another junior alchemist in light yellow clothes said with bright eyes.
"Hmph, I had something to do yesterday, but I will definitely not miss the chance to run into my senior brother today, or rather, the chance to spend time with him."
"I heard that Ye Xiruo will also be coming. These are the legendary Three Musketeers. Are they going to sweep through our Medicine King Valley or something?"
"We've gone off-topic. How could our senior brother collude with the people from the Pill King Palace?"
"Yes, yes, please open your eyes wide and look over there."
"Oh my god, how come Senior Brother's gaze is so gentle? My heart is melting."
"Please, she was smiling at Zishu, okay?"
"That must be the king's disdain. Senior Brother will surpass Zishu sooner or later and become the number one alchemist on the continent."
"It's likely that Ye Xiruo will surpass Senior Brother and Zishu sooner or later, becoming the number one alchemist on the continent."
The group of female alchemists fell silent. Divine masters should never have existed in this world, especially since they were born in the same era as them. How honorable, how tragic.
"Brother Ying, so many people are secretly watching you." Many girls with romantic hearts hope to have a romantic encounter with Ying Xun, and it would be best if they could fall in love at first sight.
"I'm used to it." He continued walking forward without looking to the side.
"Senior Brother, what did you do yesterday? I sensed a strong killing intent, it was all aimed at you."
"It's nothing. I just gave them a few words of advice. It's just that they have a very low tolerance for stress."
Ahem, they must have already fully experienced the senior brother's sharp tongue.
"I believe that today, my senior brother will definitely be able to subdue them."
Whether martial artists or alchemists, the strong are respected. The youngest eighth-grade alchemist on the Zishu Continent has already caused a stir in the Medicine King Valley.
At least half of the people who came here today are serious about learning skills; how much they learn depends on their own fate. As for the rest, they're probably here for Ying Xun's beauty. However, given the cold aura surrounding Ying Xun, they can only watch her from afar with tender affection, which is truly touching.
