154 First Alchemy Attempt
After Nie Lin and the guard left, Chao Bai walked to the side of the pill furnace.
He kicked the dozens of baskets of spiritual herbs carried in by the guards to the side and said, “Come! Sit here. I’ll teach you alchemy.”
Kong Rui sat down obediently and listened to Chao Bai’s instructions. Then, she began to absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stones that Chao Bai had set up beside her.
Those spirit stones were all Seventh Grade spirit stones, so the spiritual energy contained in them was naturally much more abundant than that of other spirit stones.
The Dharma artifact in the sky didn’t seem to show any abnormality despite Kong Rui’s absorption of spiritual energy. This made Kong Rui even bolder.
She carefully felt the spirit energy continuously flowing into her body from the spirit stone. The spiritual energy seemed like it was on the verge of penetrating her bones, tendons, and blood vessels as it kept moving in her body.
Although the surging spiritual energy was intense, Kong Rui didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. She even felt comfortable.
Kong Rui secretly heaved a sigh of relief and felt the comfort brought about by the spiritual energy. Soon, Kong Rui felt that the spiritual energy seemed to be gathering in the same place. It was a chaotic place in her abdomen where she had fainted from pain the last time.
Worried that the feeling from last time would return, Kong Rui gritted her teeth.
However, this time, even when all the spiritual energy gathered, Kong Rui didn’t feel anything amiss.
That part of her abdomen seemed to be able to absorb endless spiritual energy and kept devouring it.
Chao Bai’s voice sounded beside Kong Rui. “Don’t just focus on absorbing spiritual energy. Extract the spiritual energy and try holding it in your palm.”
Kong Rui willed it and felt the spiritual energy that she had already absorbed gather in her palm bit by bit.
“Use the spiritual energy in your palm to activate the pill furnace.” Chao Bai pointed again.
Kong Rui gritted her teeth and looked at the motionless pill furnace in front of her. The spiritual energy in her hand kept flowing into the pill furnace, and the pill furnace emitted a faint golden glow.
Chao Bai raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled. “Your potential isn’t bad!”
Kong Rui didn’t understand what Chao Bai meant, but she didn’t dare to be distracted. She continued focusing on sending spiritual energy into the pill furnace.
Soon, Chao Bai threw the required spiritual herbs into the pill furnace.
“I’ll teach you the formula for this pill refinement later. Now, grasp the key points first.” Chao Bai’s voice sounded again.
Kong Rui nodded and didn’t say anything. She listened to Chao Bai’s guidance as she continued to activate the pill furnace. Golden-red flames slowly ignited in the pill furnace, and the spiritual herbs were constantly being refined in the pill furnace.
Kong Rui could sense the fragrance of spiritual herbs in the air. This smell immediately made her feel comfortable.
“What pill is this?” Kong Rui asked curiously.
“Don’t be distracted!” Chao Bai reminded again.
Kong Rui stuck out her tongue and didn’t ask further.
As Chao Bai sat cross-legged at the side, he observed the use of spirit stones around Kong Rui.
“This pill is called the Clear Heart Pill. It can help you remove obstacles when you encounter obstacles in your cultivation path. If you cultivate both spiritual and demonic cultivation, Clear Heart Pills will be indispensable!”
Upon hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui felt a little touched.
Although this guy seemed unreliable occasionally, he actually thought about the special situation of her body when refining pills this time.
Indeed, if she cultivated both spiritual and demonic cultivation, if one of them gained the upper hand, all her previous efforts would be in vain, and she might even die. With the Clear Heart Pill, her cultivation path would probably be much smoother.
Thinking of this, Kong Rui secretly sped up the transmission of spiritual energy in her hand, in hopes of completing the pill refinement quickly.
However, as soon as she sped up, Kong Rui felt her heart beating very quickly.
