What?!
Upon hearing the baby's words, Rong Xi had only one thought: run, run far, far away. Damn it, a Taotie, and it's alive! If that thing wakes up, who knows what kind of havoc it will wreak on the world!
The ferocious beast from ancient legends—we can't afford to mess with it!
"Master, can you not be so timid?"
The baby is very hurt, wondering how it could have found such a cowardly owner.
"stop!"
Rong Xi decisively ended the conversation.
"Baby, we can discuss this later. Let's address the immediate issue now!"
The Meridian Opening Pill must be refined!
Only in this way could she prove her worth and avoid being traded away as a useless pawn by Kangxi. Although the possibility of being traded away was not 100%, she had to eliminate even the slightest possibility beforehand.
"Well, there's nothing I can do about it!"
The baby felt helpless.
He was merely a spirit of a grotto-heaven, possessing vast knowledge and experience. But would a spirit of a grotto-heaven truly cultivate spiritual herbs, refine elixirs, or forge artifacts on its own?
"Okay, I'll think about it some more!"
Rong Xi was frustrated. She had hoped to use the spirit of the baby's grotto to instantly accelerate her alchemy journey. Unfortunately, the baby was unreliable!
"System, system!"
Since we can't rely on our babies, we can only look for powerful backers!
Although Rong Xi always thought her system was terrible, a completely low-quality, cheap system, she had to admit that it was quite powerful at times.
"???"
In response to Rong Xi's call, the system's five-cent screen popped up again, with three question marks as its reply!
"System, I want to refine a pill, a Meridian Opening Pill. Any prompts?"
"..."
This time, the system simply responded with a string of ellipses.
"What do you mean? Are you looking down on us?"
Rong Xi was furious!
"Foolish host, you have a Grade 3 alchemy furnace with three types of pill refining functions!"
"What?! There's such a 'operation'?"
Rong Xi felt terrible after seeing the system's response.
Since winning this top-grade alchemy furnace in the lottery, Rong Xi hadn't paid any attention to it. After all, she previously lacked both the materials and the cultivation level to refine pills.
Unexpectedly, this top-grade alchemy furnace actually comes with the function of refining three kinds of pills!
Is this still an alchemy furnace?
This is practically cheating, well, but she likes this kind of cheating!
Rong Xi quickly summoned her pet, Bao Bao, who was the most powerful being in the blessed land of Huangdian Pavilion. Rong Xi needed to use a Grade 3 alchemy furnace to refine the Meridian Opening Pill, but she couldn't reveal its existence. After all, if it were exposed, given Kangxi's suspicious nature, he would definitely think she was hiding a secret treasure of the Yantian Sect.
Therefore, the baby must be brought out to cover her up.
First, we need to prevent Prince Yu, Fuquan, who is overseeing things outside, from seeing the true situation inside the alchemy room. This is where Bao Bao needs to step in!
"Master, this is simple, a small illusion array will suffice!"
The baby is very understanding.
After hearing Rong Xi's explanation, it quickly activated an illusion array, changing the situation inside the alchemy room.
To outsiders, Rong Xi appears to be refining elixirs.
But in reality, the original alchemy furnace was taken away, and a top-grade alchemy furnace produced by the system that Rong Xi obtained appeared in front of her.
All sorts of materials were thrown into the alchemy furnace at once, and the process of refining the Meridian Opening Pill began.
In just one hour, the lid of the top-grade alchemy furnace popped open, and nine high-grade meridian-expanding pills flew out, which Rong Xi collected in her hands.
"Let's create another staged scene!"
Rong Xi put away six of the Meridian Opening Pills, then put the alchemy furnace that was originally in the small alchemy room back in its original place and threw in various medicinal herbs.
This time, Rong Xi was truly using the alchemy methods recorded in the ancient texts she had learned to refine the Meridian Expanding Pill.
This is an ancient elixir formula; if she were to successfully refine it on her first attempt, it would undoubtedly cause a sensation. Therefore, her failure on the first attempt makes it all the more convincing.
However, to Rong Xi's surprise, she actually succeeded in refining it herself!
One batch of medicinal herbs, after an hour of refining, finally yielded two pills, one of medium grade and one of low grade!
"Could it be that my sister is truly a genius alchemist?"
Rong Xi herself found it hard to believe that she had actually succeeded in refining the Meridian Opening Pill for the first time!
"Master, you're so lucky!"
Unfortunately, before Rong Xi could be happy for long, the spirit of the cave, who had been watching from the side, dealt her a critical blow!
"How can you talk like that?"
Rong Xi glared at her; how dare he look down on her!
"Hehe, Master, how about you refine another batch?"
Baby doesn't believe there are any alchemy geniuses in the world. It has had many owners, and no matter how talented they were, they all spent a lot of effort to improve their alchemy skills even a little.
Alchemy is purely a matter of practice makes perfect.
The proportions of medicinal herbs, the control of heat, and the techniques for controlling the medicinal process all require considerable experience. How can one possibly master such skills without long-term practice?
"One more batch, go ahead, who's afraid of who?"
"My sister is a genius alchemist, it's destiny!"
Rong Xi has a very competitive nature, and she couldn't stand being mocked by the spirit of the cave.
She once again put the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace and began to refine the Meridian Expanding Pill.
