After that, it was the Fourth Elder's turn to speak.
After the Fourth Elder left, she and Nan Yu stared at each other blankly, one because they were too close to the fryer and hadn't yet reacted.
One was still reeling from the shock of the two lumps of pills.
"So what do we do next?" Although Nian Wanzhou's clothes were no longer the color of those from the bombing, they were still tattered.
Nan Yu scratched his head: "How about we continue refining pills? We don't have anything else to do anyway, so let's just keep refining pills."
“That makes sense.” Nian Wanzhou put her hand on her chin, making a hook shape as she thought. “Hey, was I cool just now? Like that protective shield.”
"To be honest, I don't even know how I made it. Sigh, what a waste."
"Handsome... my ass! You scared me to death with that thing of yours! Get inside now!" Nan Yu glared at her angrily, but she was worried and scared. However, at least she could protect herself.
"Alright, alright, Nan Yu, don't be angry. Let's continue refining the pills!" Nian Wanzhou sat down again.
Nan Yu sat back down, and the two continued practicing.
Before long, Nian Wanzhou discovered a problem:
That is...
She expended her spiritual energy three times to refine those pills... and they were still oddly shaped, completely unlike the round and cute shapes that Nan Yu and the others had. They were lumps, blocks, mud-like, irregularly round, fan-shaped, cone-shaped, and even crescent-shaped!
Holy crap!
Nian Wanzhou couldn't help but curse in her heart. There was clearly no problem with the selection of spiritual plants and the timing of cooking, so why did it always end up like this?
That's six pills in total.
In other words, she can only refine two at a time, and their shapes are random.
What remains unchanged is not only the quantity, but also the efficacy; the elixir of life has only occupied the "medicine" aspect.
Haha, is this a success or a failure?
She glanced at Nan Yu, who was also staring intently at his pills. Nian Wanzhou said, "Nan Yu, tell me, what is this...?"
"Ah... anyway, Wanwan, you're really amazing," Nanyu said. "And the pills you refine are so full of life energy; those are rare and precious things!"
Nian Wanzhou smiled bitterly. She wanted to think that way too, but unfortunately, the reality seemed to be different.
She carefully put away the strangely shaped fasting pills, took a deep breath, and said, "Nanyu, I've decided. Starting tomorrow, I'm not going to bother with alchemy anymore!"
"I see that the pills my senior sisters sell are all mid-grade, perfectly round, and have a wonderful aroma. They're also very effective, and they can sell for five mid-grade spirit stones each time. I think I should stick to body cultivation; becoming a strong and robust body cultivator is what I'm aiming for!"
Nian Wanzhou has made her decision.
She made up her mind that she would stop refining pills tomorrow, since no matter how she refined them, they would eventually turn into that strange shape.
It would be better not to continue. She finds this stuff disgusting and doesn't know what they like.
"Huh?" Nan Yu was stunned, not quite understanding. "Then, you're not going to play with me anymore?"
"Okay, I'm done playing. Starting tomorrow, I plan to spend more time training my body." Nian Wanzhou clenched her fists and nodded firmly. She could enjoy life, but she also had to fulfill the promise she had made.
"But don't worry, Nan Yu, I'll still come and help you refine pills!"
Nan Yu didn't see anything wrong with Nian Wanzhou's thinking; she should let her do what she wanted, as long as she was happy. "Sure!"
Then, Nian Wanzhou stopped refining pills and instead packed up his things to watch Nan Yu's increasingly skilled pill-refining techniques.
It must be said that Nan Yu is indeed a master alchemist. His mindset is getting better and better, and his alchemy skills are becoming more and more proficient.
...
The Fourth Elder was excitedly showing off the Bigu Pill that Nian Wanzhou had refined to the First Elder.
"Boss!" he shouted as he entered, pulling out two jade bottles. "Here, this is the fasting pill that little girl made. I taught her how!"
The elder looked at the two small, exquisite jade bottles on the table, his brows furrowed and his face filled with worry.
"Boss, what's with that expression?"
The elder sighed and said, "I regret letting her go to your place to refine her body."
"Don't be like that, Boss! You don't know, that girl is really outstanding. She actually refined it all by herself! You should try this Nourishing Pill, I guarantee it's different from the others!" The Fourth Elder didn't care about anything else and directly shoved the jade bottle into the First Elder's hand.
The Grand Elder held the jade bottle, smelled it, and sensed the vibrant, warm, and abundant spiritual energy within. He nodded in approval: "Hmm, indeed extraordinary. The effects of this Nourishing Pill are completely different from before."
"Hahaha! This is a spiritual plant grown by your good disciple. Let me tell you, it's full of her own spiritual power." The Fourth Elder excitedly explained all this, showing the white mist on a spiritual plant to the First Elder who was preparing to take the Nourishing Pill.
"This white mist was all created by the little girl, it's amazing."
"This is the first time I've ever seen such abundant spiritual energy and vitality in a spiritual plant. It's all thanks to her! What does this mean? She's very suitable to be a pill cultivator!"
Turning to his cheeky self, he said, "Boss, look how skilled she is at alchemy, why don't you let me mentor her? You're getting on in years, it's time for you to rest!"
Despite his exceptionally handsome face, he looked utterly sleazy.
Grand Elder: "......"
Thank you so much, Fourth Brother, for thinking of your elder brother so much!
"Don't even think about it, that's my disciple!" The First Elder slapped the Fourth Elder away. Trying to take his disciple? Don't even think about it!
"Hey, how can you be so domineering? What gives you the right?" the Fourth Elder protested. He wanted to share his insights on being a believer and the amazing qualities of that girl with him!
The elder slapped him on the forehead again: "What else do you want to say? Hurry up, you're always so indecent, you're driving me crazy!"
It was really noisy. The Fourth Elder had a loud voice and spoke rapidly, making the whole room buzz. The First Elder felt like he was going to be deafened.
The elder brought another jade bottle to his nose and took a gentle sniff. Instantly, his eyes widened.
This elixir smells so good! He's never smelled it before!
“This…” he couldn’t help but ask.
"Oh, this is what the little girl refined, doesn't it smell good!" The Fourth Elder hurriedly showed off, recounting Nian Wanzhou's alchemy process, including the explosion in the furnace.
However, he was unaware of the protective shield.
The Grand Elder never expected that this little girl would actually have some skills, even managing to blow up the alchemy cauldron!
As expected of someone I value, he has potential!
"Hmm, not bad, very good, not bad!"
The Grand Elder was delighted to hear this. This girl truly lived up to her reputation as his disciple; she was getting better and better!
