Chapter 58 It’s done
Although Senior Sister Du is talented, she is still a beginner with limited knowledge. She hasn't even memorized all the existing pill formulas, so she is still a bit lost when it comes to making her own pill formulas.

However, as anxious as she was, Mo Jiuwei soon realized that although Senior Sister Du was wrong at first, she would inexplicably correct herself afterward.

Could it be... that this is also a talent?

It doesn't matter, as long as the final result is good.

And so, Du Yue tried and refined the pills at the same time, but because she was distracted, the first batch of pills naturally failed.

【Pity. 】

[But that's normal; it's a new elixir formula, how could it possibly succeed on the first try?]

The previous batch went relatively smoothly, but the Heavenly Saliva Mushrooms took a little too long to settling, and their refining process is very fast, requiring a swift reaction and cannot be delayed.

[I hope Senior Sister Du won't be discouraged, learn from her mistakes, and try to succeed on her second try!]

The review I was expecting is finally here!

Upon hearing this, Du Yue raised her eyebrows. She was not discouraged at all; on the contrary, she began the second batch with great enthusiasm.

She wasn't afraid of failure, but rather of not knowing where she had failed. For her, the difficulty of making her own pill formulas was clearly far beyond her skill level.

If she tries to figure it out on her own, she might rack her brains and still not know where the problem lies. She might have to fail ten or eight times before she gets a clue.

This process is quite a waste of time and money.

Fortunately, Junior Sister Jiuwei was there. She solved all the problems that I couldn't figure out. It could be said that she had someone to answer all the questions related to alchemy, and I only needed to do the work.

The second attempt failed halfway through because I wasn't skilled enough.

[Not bad, much smoother than the last batch. It would be even better if I weren't so tense.]

Furthermore, for pills with such a unique and intense aroma, the timing of refining cannot be determined solely by smell; one must visually observe the state of the contents of the furnace.

Du Yue listened attentively, and after understanding, she looked as if she had suddenly realized something.

That's it!

Come again!

Mo Jiuwei wasn't sleepy at the moment, so she kept watching Du Yue refine pills, witnessing her fail time and time again, and then muster up the courage to continue refining them.

She didn't get discouraged or give up during this time; she just kept coming back, each time more serious than the last.

This made Mo Jiuwei feel gratified, and when she looked at Du Yue again, she had the look of a master looking at a disciple.

After failing three times, Du Yue finally succeeded on the fourth attempt!
When a special fragrance wafted into the alchemy room and lingered there, she almost cried with joy.

"It's done! I really did it!"

She held the bottle of pills as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Jiuwei, look! I've succeeded!" She proudly presented the pill to Mo Jiuwei.

[Yes, it worked! Senior Sister Du is really amazing!]

Although I helped with the pill formula, she completed the actual pill refining all by herself, which is enough to prove her ability.

[Tsk, if other sects knew she had such skill after only two months of alchemy training, they would definitely try their best to poach her!]

Du Yue blushed upon hearing this.

It's true that she did the alchemy, but not all by herself... So I'm not as capable as my junior sister thinks, and there's no way other sects would try to recruit me.

Coming to her senses, Du Yue carried Mo Jiuwei and ran towards the main hall, sending a telepathic message to her senior brothers along the way to share the good news.

This was a major event concerning the future of the entire Xianlai Sect. Upon hearing that the pill refining was successful, everyone put down their cultivation and rushed to the main hall. Even the sect leader, Xu Yihan, came.

Since learning that his leg could be saved, Xu Yihan seemed like a completely different person. He was no longer so颓废 and apathetic, and he no longer rejected being close to others.

Although he became disabled, he was still the sect leader and needed to be responsible for all the disciples, instead of getting caught up in his own emotions and feeling sorry for himself, and leaving the heavy responsibility of the sect to these junior disciples.

Looking back on his past behavior, he feels ashamed and guilty.

"Come and let me take a look."

Seeing Du Yue running towards him, he also reached out his hand expectantly.

Everyone craned their necks to watch. Du Yue took out the pill bottle, poured out the pills inside, and gave one to each person so that everyone could examine it carefully.

The number of pills produced in a single batch varies for each type of elixir. The more precious and difficult the elixir is to produce, the fewer pills it yields. Some elixir batches may only produce one pill.

For example, this Breakthrough Pill, there are ten pills in one batch, and everyone gets one.

"Hmm...this taste is indeed very unfamiliar, I would never have guessed it came from the Heavenly Saliva Mushroom!"

"It actually worked! Junior Sister Du, you're amazing!"

"Great! With the Breakthrough Pill, we'll have a way to deal with the Heavenly Saliva Mushrooms if we find them again!"

Everyone was delighted. Refining the pill was like giving the Heavenly Saliva Mushroom a disguise, which not only kept its existence a secret but also extended its shelf life.

Xu Yihan was also very happy and asked Du Yue in detail about the time required for alchemy and the amount of materials needed.

"One batch of pills requires three Heavenly Saliva Mushrooms and takes two quarters of an hour to refine. I can refine at least twenty batches a day!" Du Yue said conservatively. "If I become more skilled in refining them in the future, I can do even more."

The reason for saying "one or twenty batches" is that we also need to consider the consumption of spiritual energy, and it will take some time to recover the spiritual energy and rest.

Moreover, this is based on the premise of naturally replenishing spiritual energy. If she had an endless supply of pills that could replenish spiritual energy, she could keep refining them indefinitely.

"That's really good, that's enough. We still don't know how well the Tianyanxiang mushrooms are growing, so we'll take it one step at a time," Liu Feng said with a smile.

[This is just the simplest pill formula. Once Senior Sister Du's skill level improves, there will be an even more efficient enhanced version of the Breakthrough Pill! At that time, one batch of pills will only consume ten Heavenly Saliva Mushrooms, making them used faster and the pills more effective.] Mo Jiuwei thought to herself.

Everyone was even happier when they heard this.

“We’re not short of money right now, so let’s keep refining the pills and preserve them all,” Xu Yihan said. “You can take turns going up the mountain with Spotted to pick mushrooms every day. Once they’re picked, give them to Du Yue, and she’ll make them into pills.”

For alchemists, alchemy itself is a form of cultivation, which is also beneficial to Du Yue herself.

Of course, the premise is not to overwork yourself, otherwise you will damage your health.

"The Hundred Schools of Learning will take some time, so everyone should practice diligently in the meantime. If you need anything during your practice, don't hesitate to tell me, and the sect will provide it for you unconditionally."

"You are disciples of the Immortal Sect, but you are also the masters of the Immortal Sect!"

As Xu Yihan spoke, everyone felt excited, as if they had inexhaustible energy.

"Yes, Master!"

Everyone said in unison.
