In the pill furnace, it was like another world.
Amidst a chaos-like state, the walls of the furnace, scorched by fierce fire, emitted a faint red glow.
Inside the furnace, the atmosphere was scorching hot. Different medicinal materials, under the operation of a pair of transparent little hands, gradually turned into clumps of medicinal powder and began to merge with each other.
’Bang——!’
A muffled sound came from the pill furnace.
Mu Qingge slowly opened her eyes, staring at the pill furnace emitting black smoke.
It failed.
The herbs that had been ground into powder had now turned into a puff of black smoke, merging into the pill furnace.
Lips pressed tightly, Mu Qingge did not start again immediately but instead summed up the experience from the previous failure. She had already anticipated that success wouldn’t come in one go, so she prepared ten sets of herbs beforehand.
This meant she could try ten times consecutively. If she failed, she would have to go back to gather, sort, and other preliminary steps again.
Actually, these initial processes could be done by the attendant.
However, Mu Qingge believed that having received the Dan God’s legacy, she already had an advantage in Alchemy. Yet, it also meant losing the chance for intimate contact with the herbs, which is why she insisted on completing the previous tedious steps herself, to deepen her understanding of the medicines.
After resting for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Mu Qingge attempted Alchemy once more.
Bang!
Bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Failed again, and again!
Mu Qingge’s exquisite little face was slightly blackened by the smoke emitted from the pill furnace.
The herbs on the table were completely used up, and she hadn’t succeeded in refining even a furnace of medicinal powder.
Patting the dust off her clothes, Mu Qingge stood up, walked back to the medicinal cabinet, and began picking herbs again...
"Alchemy is harder than I thought," Mu Qingge muttered to herself.
Her tone was very calm, without discouragement or frustration over continuous failures.
It seemed she never doubted her talent for Alchemy.
Yes, she believed so in her heart. Since the Dan God had passed down the legacy to her, it indicated she had this talent; otherwise, given the Dan God’s great Divine Skills, there would be no reason to pass the legacy to someone with no talent in Alchemy.
Holding onto this belief, Mu Qingge prepared another fifteen sets of medicinal materials.
Having been in the Alchemy Room for a day and a night, Mu Qingge placed the prepared materials in order and did not start Alchemy immediately. Instead, she began to immerse herself in Spiritual Energy cultivation.
Prolonged use of spiritual power had made her head a bit dizzy.
So, she needed to switch her mind.
At this time, cultivating her own Spiritual Power was naturally the first choice.
Yellow Realm Peak might be remarkable for others, but for her, it was still too weak.
Waking from cultivation, a night had already passed.
With the previous experience, Mu Qingge seemed to have found the pattern for merging the powders. Antagonism among the medicines was true, but as long as she found a breakthrough point among them, even antagonistic medicines could be fused.
Mu Qingge proceeded extremely slowly during the fusion process.
She wasn’t afraid of failing again but wanted to carefully observe every step of the fusion process.
Refining the Clear Heart Powder required fifteen types of medicinal materials. This fusion wasn’t simply adding fifteen kinds of materials together. Instead, it was a kind of multiplicative stacking.
The further the fusion process went, the easier it became to fail.
Mu Qingge passed through the first few fusions with ease.
Even the middle ones, with the experience from previous failures, she managed without any danger.
Soon, the final fusion approached.
If this fusion succeeded, she would have refined her first batch of medicinal powder.
Sweat already faintly formed on Mu Qingge’s brow. She injected more spiritual power into the pill furnace to protect the somewhat unstable powder.
Inside the pill furnace, the transparent little hands forcibly integrated the final powder.
Instantly, the fused powders began to shake violently.
The pair of transparent little hands worked hard to enclose the powders, as if the violently shaking powders were a magic cube.
Finally, the powders gradually calmed down.
A medicinal fragrance wafted from the pill furnace, causing Mu Qingge to suddenly open her eyes, a bright light flashing in her clear eyes: Success!
