Half a month later.
When Leng Ruoxue threw the herbs into the pill furnace again and did every step to the extreme, for some reason, she had a premonition that the chance of success this time was very high, so after condensing the pills
and tempering, her eyes stared intently at the pill furnaceâ¦
The freak and the little old man, who felt that something was amiss, were also attracted. However, neither of them dared to make a sound and also stared at the pill furnace intently like Leng Ruoxue.
After a while, the unique fragrance of the pills emerged from the pill furnace. The three of them knew that the pill refinement was successful, but whether it could reach the intermediate level was unknown.
âXueâer, open the pill furnace and take a look!â the little old man urged impatiently.
⦠Lâ¦â Leng Ruoxue found herself a little nervous. After all, she felt very good this time, but she was also a little scared.
âDonât be afraid! If itâs not an intermediate one, at most, Iâll refine it again!â the little old man comforted.
However, just as the little old man finished speaking, suddenly, âBoom!â Several loud bangs sounded in the sky above the secret room. This sudden sound shocked the few people who were not mentally prepared.
âWhatâs this sound? Is there thunder?â the little old man said in surprise.
âGrandpa Du, this secret room is made of ten-thousand-year-old black iron. You canât even hear thunder,â Leng Ruoxue said helplessly.
However, just as she finished speaking, the pill furnace shook uneasily, as if it was very scared.
âBig Sister, itâs pill tribulation,â Qing Jue said via voice transmission from the bracelet.
âPill Tribulation? Qing Jue, are you sure?â Leng Ruoxue sent a voice transmission in surprise.
âYes.â Qing Jue nodded with certainty. Usually, pills or artifacts that could cause heavenly tribulation when successfully refined were not ordinary.
âQing Jue said that the lightning just now was a pill tribulation.â Leng Ruoxue told the little old man and the freak what Qing Jue told her. After speaking, she opened the pill furnace. However, as soon as she opened the
pill furnace, the deep blue pill lying in the middle of the furnace obediently ran into her hand. At this moment, a message came from her mind. Advanced antidote pill!
Adv⦠Advanced? Leng Ruoxue was speechless. She had concocted it countless times, but she only wanted to concoct an intermediate antidote divine pill. However, who knew that the intermediate didnât succeed and
instead concocted an advanced pill. This was too unbelievable. However, she was also a little depressed. Why couldnât she concoct the elementary and advanced pill formulas for the intermediate antidote?
âPill Tribulation? Lass, I heard from Grandmaster that only pills above the intermediate stage of the divine pill might have a pill tribulation. Could it be that the pill you just refined has reached the intermediate stage of
the divine pill?â the little old man said with a face full of joy. Uh! This pill was a little different from the previous one.
However, the dark blue divine pill in her hand became unhappy before Leng Ruoxue could answer the little old man!
The pill floated from Leng Ruoxueâs hand and came to the little old man. It circled him a few times and then knocked into his forehead. After doing all this, the pill slowly returned to Leng Ruoxueâs hand and rubbed
against it coquettishly.
âXueâer, it actually hit me?â the little old man said dumbfoundedly. Boohoo⦠He was actually attacked by a pill. No one would believe it if news of this got out!
âUh!â Leng Ruoxue was a little speechless seeing the pillâs human-like behavior. Alas! Why was this pill so spiritual!
âGrandpa Du, itâs an advanced divine pill. Itâs unhappy that you said itâs intermediate,â Leng Ruoxue explained helplessly as she looked at the protesting pill in her hand.
âAh! Itâs actually advanced. No wonder. Boohoo⦠I donât know,â the little old man said aggrievedly.
âGrandpa Du, it said it forgave you,â Leng Ruoxue translated for the pill. Alas! She didnât know how she knew the meaning of a pill, but she knew.
âUh! Lass, does it understand what we mean?â The little old manâs face was full of surprise. This was really strange every year, especially this year!
âIl understand. It also said that it doesnât want to be eaten,â Leng Ruoxue said with a slight headache. She couldnât help muttering to herself as she looked at the pill in her hand that kept acting coquettishly. Could this
still be considered a pill?
âThen what should we do? We still have to use it to submit the mission!â the little old man said awkwardly. However, he was hit by the divine pill again as soon as he finished speaking.
âAh! It hit me again?â the little old man said gloomily with a long face.
âGrandpa Du, Iâm refining an intermediate divine pill!â Leng Ruoxue said. Qing Jue had also reminded her not to use this pill to complete the mission.
âOkay, then refine another one!â the little old man hurriedly said, not wanting to be beaten again.
The dark blue pill circled around them happily and then obediently stayed in Leng Ruoxueâs hand after hearing what they said.
Leng Ruoxue sent the pill into the bracelet and handed it to Qing Jue for safekeeping. Then she continued to concoct the pill resignedly.
However, Leng Ruoxueâs pills became more and more convenient since she refined this advanced divine pill. She only refined it more than ten times, but the success rate of the intermediate divine pill actually reached
50%. Moreover, another advanced divine pill appeared, but the pill tribulation did not descend again.
âLass, your success rate is really strange!â the little old man, who had been watching by the side, said speechlessly.
âYes! Seems like that pill is indeed different. I didnât succeed in refining an intermediate divine pill once before it, but the success rate later became so high.â Leng Ruoxue looked at the intermediate pill in the furnace
and was also surprised. Well! This success rate was really abnormal. It was only more than a dozen times, but the success rate was actually above 50%. Who knew how many alchemists would want to die if news of this
got out!
âHehe, no matter what, we can finally leave this place,â the little old man said happily. His disciple had yet to refine an intermediate divine pill, but the success rate of an elementary divine pill had improved a lot. Well,
he was very satisfied.
âOkay.â Leng Ruoxue nodded. She didnât expect to stay here for almost a year..
