Chapter 188 Burnt
The next day, Jian Ning was woken up early by a phone call from the courier; the seeds she had ordered had arrived.
She used her phone to remotely open the gate of the resort and had Alaska meet the package at the door.
She stretched slowly, then rolled around in bed several times, still wrapped in the quilt, before finally getting up.
Fortunately, the system provided very powerful tools, and she had been thinking of installing underfloor heating throughout the entire house.
So even though it's quite cold outside, it's still warm inside.
There's also a fireplace on the first floor, but she hasn't used it yet.
I imagine that using roasted sweet potatoes would be a good idea.
Jian Ning thought this way and actually did it. She put on her coat, picked up an axe, and went outside to chop firewood.
While passing by the herb garden, I also collected the herbs needed for the hair growth pills.
Most of the medicinal herbs used to promote hair growth are related to tonifying the kidneys.
When she got back, she lit the fireplace first.
My storage ring is filled with all sorts of odds and ends, including several boxes of sweet potatoes from last year.
She deliberately picked out some smaller ones and put them in to bake.
As soon as the fire in the fireplace was lit, dozens of furry animals in the house instinctively gathered around it, in circles.
When Jian Ning walks outside, she has to be careful not to step on them.
She bent down and rubbed the heads of the few little ones who were closest to her, asking, "Is it that cold?"
Little White licked its fur and answered.
"Meow~" Master, it's warmer here.
Winter in the northern part of the city seems to linger, as the weather in early spring is always unpredictable.
The temperature rose a few degrees yesterday, but dropped sharply today.
She scattered the seeds she bought in the field to encourage growth, and then easily harvested them, eventually obtaining a considerable amount of black sesame seeds and black beans.
With all the materials ready, she went to the open space outside the laundry room, to the old spot where she used to refine pills, and threw the alchemy furnace out of her Qiankun Ring.
She threw all the materials in and used her spiritual power to activate the fire-manipulation technique.
Half an hour later, her forehead was covered with a thin layer of sweat.
With a loud "bang," the furnace cauldron of the alchemy furnace was blown apart by a force.
Jian Ning smelled a burnt smell.
She walked over and looked inside, and saw that the hair growth pill was still emitting a fiery red glow.
The Alaskan Malamute burst out of the house, followed closely by the Border Collie, which had a fluorescent ball in its mouth.
Alaskan Malamute barked twice.
What's burnt? What is it? It stinks! It stinks!
Jian Ning couldn't help but glare at him.
The Border Collie circled around her and the alchemy furnace, sniffing them incessantly. It barked with absolute certainty, "Woof!"
Master, the pills you refined have gone bad.
Jian Ning bent down and gently rubbed its head. "I know, go back inside. It's cold outside, you two shouldn't come out again."
What's the difference between this and killing someone by destroying their spirit?
Of course she knew she had failed.
The system, always eager for drama, jumped out.
If you don't work hard in your cultivation, you'll only regret it when you're old.
Jian Ning: "You shouldn't come out either."
She never imagined she would fail.
But I have to admit that she has indeed been slacking off lately.
She has a good attitude; if she fails, she can always try again.
Alchemy is like cooking; practice makes perfect.
She ate two roasted sweet potatoes in a good mood; they tasted just like the sweet potatoes her grandfather used to roast for her when she was a child.
After eating her fill, she encouraged the growth of more sesame seeds and soybeans, and also collected many more medicinal herbs.
Based on my first experience and after reviewing the steps in "Alchemy from Beginner to Expert," I realized that I hadn't controlled the heat accurately enough last time, and I needed to refine it slowly over a low flame.
An hour later, Jian Ning lifted the lid of the furnace, and a rich aroma of sesame wafted out. Upon closer inspection, one could also detect a slightly heavy medicinal scent within the sesame aroma.
Each hair growth pill is about the size of a ping-pong ball, completely black, and has a pitted and uneven surface.
This batch yielded twelve pills in total.
It smelled delicious, so she wanted to taste it to see if it was salty enough. After taking a bite, her entire face contorted in pain.
It's so bitter, so very bitter.
Jian Ning put the remaining eleven hair growth pills into a glass bottle and sent a message to Lao Chen, asking him for an address.
She scheduled a courier to pick up the package at noon and send the bottle of "bitter medicine" to her.
After arranging everything, she picked some strawberries and put them in her Qiankun Ring, and also took the strawberry jam she had made the night before with her.
Jian Ning bid farewell to the little ones at home, cast an invisibility spell, stepped onto the Qingfeng Blade, and flew towards Hengdian.
Flying on a sword is incredibly fast.
The journey by high-speed rail takes seven or eight hours, but Jianning only takes ten minutes.
Jian Ning only sent a message to Zhang Nan after landing.
"Nan Nan, I've arrived."
Then, she saw two new messages from Lao Chen.
"Ningning, tell me the truth, did you send me a bottle of poison?"
"My God, how could it be so bitter!"
Jian Ning replied earnestly, "Old Chen, good medicine tastes bitter."
