It was already late into the night.
During the day, Yun Yu Fei had stood up for him, but in the end he had to face danger in advance. Naturally, she had to hurry up and refine pills to obtain that ten percent chance.
But that pill was an extremely difficult item to refine, and Chang Wu, the fifth stage alchemist, had yet to produce any results. As a newbie who had just stepped into the Pill Path, strictly speaking, he did not even receive a rank 1 medal, what could he possibly produce?
"It's useless again!"
Bai Ru Yue looked at the remnants of the third time she failed and muttered softly. She grabbed a pen and recorded down her feelings on a piece of paper.
Afterwards, she took out the [Book of Alchemy] and started flipping through it, hoping to find a way to solve the problem she was facing.
"Gu gu …" Suddenly, the Grayhound that was pretending to be unconscious made a sound.
When Bai Ru Yue raised his head and looked at it in shock, she realized that the Grayhound had taken the initiative to stand up, and before she knew it, it had already stood on top of her furnace and swallowed all the medicinal dregs that were being refined.
Bai Ru Yue's mouth twitched, and muttered softly: "You actually know that those are good things, they're really not expensive to eat, right? This will somewhat lessen the pain from my failure. "
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head to continue reading.
After a while, Bai Ru Yue felt that she had improved a little, so she started to refine the fourth furnace again.
An hour later, it was still a failure in the congealing stage. The Grayhound consciously opened its eyes and looked for food, while Bai Ru Yue patted her head nervously: What should I do?
The effects of these medicines were too intense. Although her soul power was strong enough to monitor the degree to which each of these medicines fused together, adjusting the fire of a fire beast wasn't something that could be done with just a thought!
She needed to rely on her soul power to control the fire beasts, so it would take her at least two breaths of time. The success or failure of a high quality pill could be decided in one breath of time.
Bai Ru Yue, who was at a loss for what to do, instinctively looked at the Grayhound, and then stepped forward: "Can you help me?"
The Grayhound tilted its body and fell off the cauldron, falling to the ground and playing dead.
The corner of Bai Ru Yue's mouth twitched, and she helplessly held her forehead: This acting skill … Poor review!
… ….
On the next day, Bai Ru Yue sat in the Sky No. 1 Room in the Tong Fu Inn.
Chang Wu, who was sitting opposite to him, still frowned lightly. "Master, I've thought about it for a whole night and felt that if the Accumulation Pill wasn't successful, it should have been me who met with problems while congealing.
Bai Ru Yue immediately raised her eyebrow: "Really? "You can refine a cauldron in front of me. Let me see."
"Alright."
Chang Wu immediately set up the furnace and started refining.
When the medicinal fragrance started to leak out, Bai Ru Yue immediately released her own soul power to observe the situation inside the furnace. She did not suppress Chang Wu's soul power, but instead held him up.
Very quickly, the congealing started, and the medicine's intensity started to fuse together. Bai Ru Yue felt the change at first, but Chang Wu did not move.
Bai Ru Yue immediately understood that Chang Wu's soul power was far weaker than his, and she wasn't able to grasp the opportunity fast enough. However, because it was easy to adjust his own battle spirit fire power, he could make up for it by condensing it at the last moment.
However, the problem he was talking about was that he missed the best moment. Even if he succeeded in condensing the pill, it was very difficult for it to do so.
Bai Ru Yue retracted her soul energy, and silently watched Chang Wu focus on refining the pill. Just as expected, he failed when she tried to concoct the Containment Pill.
"I'm sorry, Master, I still haven't done well." Chang Wu looked ashamed, but Bai Ru Yue knocked on the table: "Failure is a common occurrence, what is there to be sorry about? Come, let me tell you, what is your problem?"
After Bai Ru Yue told you her discovery, her eyebrows knitted even tighter.
The problem was that he found it, and he himself also knew that. However, that certainty had to be built up from hundreds of times of refining before he could grasp that crucial moment. That was experience.
However, the ingredients for this pill were too expensive. Even if he were to go bankrupt, he wouldn't be able to withstand twenty tries of tempering!
"Rest for a moment, and then we'll have another round. This time, I'll use my soul power to guide you there." Bai Ru Yue's words stunned Chang Wu. He raised his head and looked at Bai Ru Yue in disbelief.
In the alchemy disciples' teachings, soul power grabbing the right opportunity was something that would only appear when the master was with the disciple. Moreover, this was the same as hands-on tutelage!
But Master had said it before, she would definitely not take him in as his disciple.
"Don't be shocked, I know that you can find out for yourself in the future, but I will not stay here for long. In just a few days, I will leave Cloud Sea Island, so, before I leave, I still hope that you can succeed!"
"What?" Master, are you leaving? " Chang Wu was excited, his eyes were filled with disappointment and reluctance.
"Yes."
"Little one, can I go with you?"
Bai Ru Yue did not reply. Chang Wu's head slowly drooped down, he knew that he was not qualified.
"What I want to do this time is very important, you can't go, but there is still a long way to go, and we might meet again due to fate, furthermore, you have to wash away your shame in Dandong, otherwise, wouldn't you be letting me down?"
"Yes, Master."
"Alright, let's rest for a bit and continue."
… ….
Two hours later, the cauldron was set up, and when the essence of the medicinal herbs started to enter the congealing stage, Bai Ru Yue released his soul force again. This time, she did not only hold onto Chang Wu's soul force, but also activated it.
When the strong nature of the medicine started to impact, she immediately held onto it with her soul power – as if an invisible hand had grabbed onto Chang Wu's soul power.
Chang Wu immediately controlled the Dou Qi fire, and at this time, Chang Wu felt the impact as usual.
After a few interlinked attempts, Bai Ru Yue quickly retracted her soul power.
Being bound by soul power was not a simple matter of controlling a fire beast. She only needed to release it. What she was affecting was the soul power of a fifth-grade alchemist. This was equivalent to a "confrontation with an expert".
Therefore, Bai Ru Yue suddenly felt extremely tired, and it was impossible for her to eat another Bone Ablutionary Dan.
Bone Ablutionary Dan s could only eat one pellet in twenty-four hours, giving the body enough time to circulate its energy. Otherwise, if the consumption of the medicine was too fierce, the body would be injured.
Thinking about the fact that she still had to refine pills at night, she could only endure the extreme exhaustion on one side and hope that everything would go smoothly for Chang Wu while he was at the Accumulation Pills.
However, Chang Wu was already at the time of the Congealing Pills, and his Core Heart had been broken, making him unable to stabilize his will. In the end, even though it was congealed to perfection, the Congealing Pills were not perfect enough, he failed the moment he entered the quenching pill.
Therefore, the problem remained.
