Now, let's talk about Yun Zhan.
After returning to his courtyard, he couldn't wait to bring out the alchemy furnace.
He mentally reviewed the method for refining the Spirit Cultivation Pill once more.
I reviewed the key parts four or five times.
Then he took out all the necessary herbs.
Looking at the alchemy furnace in front of him and the neatly arranged medicinal herbs on the table, Yun Zhan rubbed his hands together.
Then he took a deep breath and said to himself: Yun Zhan, relax, you can do it.
This elixir formula was personally passed down by Miss Bai.
The flame that is his destiny is also the Heaven-Opening Sacred Flame, a gift from Miss Bai.
So, it definitely is possible.
Yun Zhan flicked his fingers, and purple flames leaped into the alchemy furnace, emitting a scorching heat.
Then, the herbs were skillfully added, and the calcination process began.
Soon, the essence of all the herbs was extracted by calcination.
There were no mistakes at this step.
Next, we need to integrate the medicinal properties.
Yun Zhan carefully went through the prescription again before starting to mix the ingredients.
The fusion of drugs with similar properties is quick and easy.
But problems soon arose.
This is because the prescription contains not only herbs with the same medicinal properties, but also herbs that are inherently incompatible.
The opposing forces, before they could even merge, began to riot simply by coming close together.
Yun Zhan desperately used his spiritual power to suppress it, and then carefully incorporated the juice of the Crimson Candle Vine Fruit into it.
One drop, two drops...
A layer of sweat appeared on Yun Zhan's forehead.
Sweat dripped down and into my eyes, stinging painfully.
But Yun Zhan didn't dare to blink, nor did he have time to raise his hand to wipe it, because the current fusion was at a critical moment.
If he gets distracted, all his previous efforts will be wasted.
It's already mostly melted in.
But just then, the pill suddenly exploded.
The powerful surge of spiritual energy sent Yun Zhan flying.
Fortunately, Yun Zhan had a strong physical body.
Moreover, he was protected by the Unfixed Sacred Flame, so he only looked a little disheveled and did not suffer any real damage.
The explosion was very loud and powerful.
The room where Yun Zhan was refining pills had been razed to the ground by the residual force of the pill-exploding explosion.
It was billowing black smoke.
"Zhan'er, what's wrong?" Yun Yue and the elders rushed over immediately.
It really was the first time.
Yun Yue was still holding a wine glass in his hand.
"It's nothing." Yun Zhan wiped his face and exhaled a puff of white smoke. "It just exploded."
"The furnace exploded?" Yun Tong asked hurriedly, "Is the alchemy furnace and the Boundless Sacred Flame alright?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Zhan immediately gave Yun Tong a mournful look.
Realizing she had misspoke, Yun Tong coughed awkwardly before asking with concern, "Zhan'er, are you alright?"
"It's nothing," Yun Zhan shook his head.
"Oh." Yun Tong nodded, then pursed her lips and asked, "What about the alchemy furnace and the Boundless Sacred Flame..."
“It’s definitely alright.” Before Yun Zhan could answer, Yun Yue said, “The alchemy furnace and the Boundless Sacred Flame were gifts from Miss Bai. How could Zhan’er have that ability?”
Yun Zhan stroked his chin, somewhat speechless.
Although they are all the truth.
But to say it so openly is just too hurtful, isn't it?
"Zhan'er?" Yun Tong raised her hand and waved it in front of Yun Zhan's eyes.
Although she thought so too, she still wanted to confirm it with Yun Zhan.
“Grandfather is right,” Yun Zhan said dejectedly.
"That's good, that's good." Yun Tong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Zhan silently gazed at the heavens.
Third Aunt, do you have to be so obvious?
"Zhan'er, what did you do? How did the stove explode?" Yunxi asked.
"I wanted to refine a Spirit Cultivation Pill that Miss Bai taught me," Yun Zhan explained. "But I didn't time the fusion process well, which is why the furnace exploded."
"Didn't Miss Bai use a special method to pass on the pill formula to you? How come you still couldn't grasp the timing?" Yun Tong asked, frowning.
Heaven knows how shocked she was when she learned from her elder brother that Miss Bai had passed on the elixir formula with a single finger.
They were incredibly envious.
That was a complete formula for pills; it was directly imprinted in my mind.
"The medicinal properties are incompatible, so it's not easy to control," Yun Zhan said.
"What?" Yun Tong couldn't help but raise her voice: "Medicines, medicinal properties are incompatible? If they are incompatible, how can they be used to make pills?"
"Yes." Yun Zhan nodded: "Regarding this, let's wait until the academy starts classes and let Third Aunt listen to Miss Bai explain it directly."
Yun Tong nodded.
She knew Yun Zhan meant well.
The reason I'm not telling her now is not to pique her curiosity, but to let her hear Miss Bai explain it to her personally later.
Because what Miss Bai said herself was different from what others passed down.
But right now, she felt like there was a little cat's paw in her heart.
It's scratching violently.
In all her years as an alchemist, she had never known that herbs with opposing medicinal properties could be combined.
No wonder Zhan'er could explode her pills.
“Study the pill formula that Miss Bai gave you carefully again. There must be something you’ve overlooked,” Yun Tong said.
"Yes, I will." Yun Zhan nodded: "Grandpa, elders, and aunts, you can all go back now, I'm fine."
"Be careful," Yun Yue said, patting Yun Zhan on the shoulder.
"I understand." Yun Zhan nodded again.
After Yun Yue and his group left, Yun Zhan used a purification talisman to cleanse himself of his disheveled state.
They then moved to another room and continued their research on the Spirit Cultivation Pill.
Extraction, no problem.
Fusion, blasting.
Moreover, this explosion was even louder than the previous one, and the ground even shook three times.
Those who didn't know better might have thought there had been an earthquake.
Yun Yue and a group of elders rushed over with wine jars. After confirming that Yun Zhan was alright, they offered a few words of comfort and then left.
And then...
Throughout the night, the Yun family's residence was frequently rocked by earth-shattering explosions.
The courtyard where Yun Zhan lived had been blown into a deep crater.
They were later moved to another courtyard, but that courtyard was also bombed to pieces.
It even affected the nearby Spirit Artifact Pavilion.
It wiped out a deputy pavilion chief and damaged many spiritual artifacts.
Although most of the items in that secondary pavilion were mid-grade spiritual artifacts, there were also quite a few high-grade spiritual artifacts, and even two earth-grade spiritual artifacts.
It was just wiped out by the shock.
Yun Yue said with a pained expression, "Zhan'er, it's getting late, you should rest early."
"Grandpa, I'm fine." Yun Zhan wiped his face and said firmly, "I must refine the Spirit Cultivation Pill as soon as possible. I must not let Miss Bai down."
Yun Yue clutched his chest and said, "As the saying goes, haste makes waste. Nothing can be accomplished overnight. You should take a break when necessary."
"Zhan'er, Big Brother is right, too much of a good thing is bad," Yun Ke said, also feeling a toothache.
After speaking, he looked up at Yun Tong.
Yun Tong understood: "When you encounter a bottleneck in alchemy, you should either consult others or calmly review your previous alchemy process to find the mistakes. You have failed several times in a row, and if you continue like this, you will only get the same result. You might as well calm down and think about it carefully."
