The two came to the palace where they lived. It was very big and fully furnished. It was much better than where they had lived before.
There are also four sets of clothing for the disciples, the color is the same as that worn by their master, two sets each for the Fourth Master and Mianmian, which are light purple.
There are also two tokens representing their status as direct disciples.
"It's really nice in here." Wen Mianmian sat on the bed. Everything in here was clean and they didn't need to clean too much.
The two of them rested here for a day. The next day, they got up early, changed into their respective disciple uniforms, and went to pay their respects to the master.
They did not take the egg with them, so they did not know that after they left, the eggshell was becoming visibly shiny, and the surrounding spiritual energy was gradually gathering towards the egg.
Today, the Fourth Master and his companions began their arduous journey of cultivation.
These two masters were very strict. The master gave the Fourth Master a sword manual and asked him to practice according to every move in it. From time to time, he would come forward to give him some guidance.
Wen Mianmian was brought to the spiritual herb garden of Ziyun Sect by her master. This spiritual herb garden was extremely large, and you couldn't see the end of it at a glance.
However, most of these spiritual herbs and plants are of low level. Ruo Lai gave her a book of herbs and asked her to memorize all the spiritual herbs and plants on it, pick them, and remember their respective medicinal properties.
After giving these instructions, Ruo Lai took out a small medicine hoe and a medicine basket from his storage bag and handed them to her, asking her to pick the herbs for making the Spirit Gathering Pill first.
Wen Mianmian took these things and said, "I understand, Master."
Then Wen Mianmian began to pick the spiritual plants according to what was written in the book.
Seeing that her hands and feet were quite nimble and she showed no dissatisfaction, Ruo Lai felt even better about her.
"Then you can start gathering them today. You should prepare at least twenty spiritual plants for making the Spirit Gathering Pill. After all, these things can be used up quite quickly."
"Also, don't just pick them directly. You have to understand their respective medicinal properties. Otherwise, when you refine the elixir, you won't even know their effects, and you won't be able to refine the elixir at all."
I was worried that she was just rushing and ignoring the most important part, so I gave her a few reminders.
"I understand, Master. I will recognize you." Wen Mianmian said seriously.
"Okay, then you can get started. I'll go lie down over there for a while. If you have any questions, feel free to come to me."
Then she went to an open space nearby and took out a lounge chair and a small table filled with fruits, snacks and tea.
She lay down and started eating while looking at her side.
Wen Mianmian: “…”
Okay, she better get started.
So in the following time, the Fourth Master and Wen Mianmian were busy every day, and sometimes they only saw each other a few times in a month.
However, in this short period of time, the cultivation of both of them increased a lot, and Wen Mianmian finally succeeded in refining a furnace of pills after hundreds of failures.
With a "bang", the alchemy furnace exploded, and what Wen Mianmian smelled was finally not the smell of burnt food, but the fragrance of medicine.
Wen Mianmian stood up in surprise and walked to the furnace, where there were two complete Spirit Gathering Pills.
"It's done, I finally succeeded." Wen Mianmian happily reached out and put the two pills into the bottle.
"Master, I finally made the Ju Lian Dan."
Elder Ruo Lai also saw it, but there was no obvious smile on his face. Instead, he said, "Success once doesn't mean you will always succeed in the future. Maybe you were just lucky this time."
"During this period of time, you must continue to refine until you succeed every time you refine. Only then can you truly become an alchemist."
Becoming an alchemist is not achieved overnight, but rather it is a process of gradual growth through failures over time.
The success this time does not mean that you will be successful in the future, so you still need to practice more.
"I understand, Master. I will continue to work hard."
Wen Mianmian adjusted her mindset and began to refine pills day after day.
The Fourth Master had also roughly mastered all the moves in the sword manual given to him by his master, but he was not yet very proficient. Seeing that he was able to master the moves in the sword manual in such a short time, his master also looked up to him.
There are quite a few moves in this sword manual, and now he has memorized them all.
"Alright, take a rest first. Tomorrow I will teach you a few more mantras, and then you can apply them to your swordsmanship."
The Fourth Master put it away neatly and bowed respectfully towards the Master. "Thank you, Master."
Just as the Fourth Master was about to go look for Mian Mian, he saw a red light suddenly shoot up into the sky from his residence.
Upon seeing this, the master's eyes showed a hint of surprise, then he raised his hand and waved it, and a barrier enveloped Zilai Peak, so that the red light here could not be discovered by people outside.
"Go and have a look."
As soon as the master finished speaking, he brought the Fourth Master to their door.
Ruo Lai was watching Mian Mian refining the elixir when he noticed something strange outside and exclaimed, "A divine beast has appeared~"
Seeing that Mianmian was still concentrating on refining the pills and was not affected by what was happening outside, she also set up a barrier in the alchemy room to prevent her from being disturbed by what was happening outside.
Then she waved her sleeves and disappeared from the spot, and the next second she came to her partner.
"Ruolai~" Master was not surprised to see her appear.
Ruo Lai looked at the egg that was about to break its shell in the house and said in surprise: "This, this egg is actually about to break its shell."
