Proving one's path through killing—this kind of merit is poisonous!

Chapter 30 Good Seedling

However, she cannot place too much trust in her because of this incident; she still needs to give her the necessary warnings.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Lingyu shook her head helplessly.

Dealing with other people is so tiring!
So she pointed to the other two closed doors and said, "I can let you stay here to do the mission, but you can't go near the other rooms, and don't ask questions you shouldn't ask, understand?"

Gu Jinhe stood up, cupped her hands and said, "Please rest assured, Senior Sister, I just want to complete the mission and earn some points. I'm not curious about anything else."

But the next moment, remembering the pill formula the system had just analyzed, she couldn't help but cough lightly, silently adding a sentence in her mind—

If she has the chance to come into contact with other elixirs, she will try her best to obtain them!

"Okay, you can continue tidying up!"

After saying that, Xu Lingyu went to another room without waiting for Gu Jinhe's response.

It was one of the rooms she had just told her not to go near.

Gu Jinhe glanced at it once and then looked away, continuing with what she was doing.

She picked up several more black waste pills, but the system didn't react.

Gu Jinhe frowned.

Could it be that Senior Sister only refined the Restoration Pill?

Realizing that this was indeed possible, Gu Jinhe sighed and was about to speed up the packing when she caught a glimpse of a dark blue pill out of the corner of her eye.

She picked it up, and the system's voice immediately sounded.

Foundation Building Pill (waste) detected.

Generating the elixir formula...

[Generated, please check, host]

It seems that different kinds of pills have different colors.

Once she was certain that the system could analyze the pill formula the moment it arrived in her hands, Gu Jinhe had no more worries.

She stopped looking closely, focused on speeding up, and packed everything into the bucket.

Until the system's voice came again.

[Detected Bigu Pill (waste product)]

Generating the elixir formula...

[Generated, please check, host]

At this moment, Gu Jinhe was holding a dark brown waste pill in her hand. She threw the waste pill into the bucket, looked at the clean and tidy ground in front of her, and was in a very good mood.

As she expected, Senior Sister Xu had blown up three pill furnaces, and was refining three different kinds of pills.

She got up, intending to tell Xu Lingyu that the mission was complete, but Xu Lingyu, as if she knew in advance, opened the door before Gu Jinhe could speak.

The girl walked out of the room, holding the alchemy furnace in one hand.

Whether it was Gu Jinhe's imagination or not, she always felt that the ground would shake with every step Xu Lingyu took.

The alchemy furnace didn't look very big; it was black with a hint of red, and its surface was carved with intricate patterns, giving it an ancient and dignified appearance.

Gu Jinhe only glanced at it, but felt an urge to bow and kneel in worship.

She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, trying hard to control the feeling.

Seeing that Gu Jinhe was not greatly affected by the alchemy furnace, Xu Lingyu couldn't help but praise her as she passed by: "Not bad, you weren't scared to the point of kneeling down."

After speaking, Xu Lingyu stopped where the fragments of the alchemy furnace had been. She glanced at the ground and, seeing that it was clean and tidy, felt quite satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, she tossed the alchemy furnace into the air, and then released spiritual energy from her hands, causing the furnace to float in front of her.

She then used her spiritual power to control the alchemy furnace to slowly descend, bringing it to a steady stop on the ground.

The whole process was not very loud.

After placing the alchemy furnace in its proper place, Xu Lingyu returned to her room.

Gu Jinhe stood in front of the alchemy furnace, but she no longer had the same feelings she had when she first saw it.

She examined the totem carefully. It looked like some kind of mythical beast...

This mythical beast has a horn on its head that is only half the size of its head, a huge body, four legs, and three tails that look like long whips...

Just as Gu Jinhe was wondering what kind of spirit beast it was, Xu Lingyu's voice rang out behind her.

"That's called a long-tailed unicorn, and this alchemy furnace is made from its horn."

Upon hearing this, Gu Jinhe took a step back.

Although she had just arrived at the alchemy room, she could tell that this senior sister did not like others touching her things.

Seeing Gu Jinhe's caution, Xu Lingyu couldn't help but laugh and asked, "Why are you so afraid of me? It's like I'm going to eat people."

"Sister, I..."

Gu Jinhe was about to explain when she was interrupted: "Don't worry, as long as you don't take the things from the alchemy room out, I won't eat you."

After saying that, she handed a black bag to Gu Jinhe and finally got down to business.

"Actually, starting a fire is very simple. I will light the fire in advance, and you just need to add charcoal to make sure the fire doesn't go out."

Gu Jinhe took the black bag, looking puzzled, and asked, "As an alchemist, can't you control the fire yourself, Senior Sister?"

Only after the words were spoken did I realize how inappropriate they were.

Just as she was about to change the subject, Xu Lingyu said, "The task of an alchemist is to refine pills with spiritual power; the matter of controlling the fire can be left to others."

She never doubted the alchemy method, after all, that's how her master taught her!
However, she had thought of the question Gu Jinhe had just raised two years ago, which is why she came to Qingkou Peak to go into seclusion.

Unfortunately, still found nothing.

It was unexpected that this junior sister would think of this so soon after arriving at the alchemy room; it was beyond her expectations.

Recalling Gu Jinhe's expression when she first saw the alchemy furnace, Xu Lingyu felt a pang of emotion. After a moment's thought, she raised her hand and placed her palm against Gu Jinhe's forehead.

"Don't move, I won't hurt you."

Gu Jinhe instinctively wanted to resist, but just as she was about to circulate her spiritual power, she heard Xu Lingyu's words and forced herself to calm down.

Her current cultivation level is concealed by the system, and with Xu Lingyu's strength, he shouldn't be able to detect anything.

Only after thinking about it this way did she feel relieved.

Seeing that she had calmed down, Xu Lingyu then circulated her spiritual power and injected it into Gu Jinhe's sea of ​​consciousness.

She wanted to know how strong her mental abilities were...

But just as her spiritual power was about to enter Gu Jinhe's sea of ​​consciousness, it was repelled by a blade of energy that appeared inside her sea of ​​consciousness.

Xu Lingyu suddenly opened her eyes, only to feel a metallic taste rising in her throat.

It was actually a mental attack...

Seeing Xu Lingyu staring at her intently, Gu Jinhe became wary and asked, "Senior Sister, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Xu Lingyu swallowed the slightly metallic taste and asked casually, "What were the results of your spiritual root test?"

Hearing her words, Gu Jinhe breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed there was no major problem.

So she replied, "It is a mixture of water, soil, wood, and spiritual roots."

Xu Lingyu looked regretful and said, "What a pity."

Although I haven't measured this mental strength, judging from the attack she just experienced, it's much stronger than her mental power.

What a promising alchemist!

Unfortunately, he has mixed spiritual roots...

Xu Lingyu couldn't help but sigh. Even if she had a fire spiritual root, she could still ask her master to train her.

Too bad she didn't.

With that thought in mind, she took out a pill from her storage space and handed it to Gu Jinhe.

"I see you haven't mastered the art of guiding Qi into your body yet. Here, take this Qi-guiding pill and use it!"
