Refining Ruins Cauldron

Nianchen's expression was stiff as he took difficult steps.

This trip would have been a near-death experience for anyone.

He didn't know why he had stood up just now.

Gu Qingyun could clearly see Nianchen's pale profile.

The person who should have gone was not him!

"Senior brother!"

Gu Qingyun couldn't help but shout, her eyes reddening slightly.

Nianchen forced himself to remain calm, turned around with difficulty, and managed a weak smile.

"I'll go. I'm more experienced than you and more familiar with the properties of spiritual herbs. I can be of help."

Nianchen didn't utter the last two words aloud; he simply lip-synced with Gu Qingyun.

It can survive.

Gu Qingyun's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized what was happening.

Having cultivated the "Five Elements Alchemy Technique" and with the assistance of the "Alchemy Classic," his familiarity with elixirs and spiritual herbs is definitely superior to that of Nian Chen!

Go yourself, and you'll have a better chance of coming back alive!

"Wait a minute! Fairy Ziyan, let me go this time!"

Gu Qingyun quickly called out to Ziyan and pulled Nianchen back.

His eyes were filled with determination, without the slightest hesitation.

Then, he resolutely stepped into the alchemy room!

boom!

With the door closed, everything had already settled down.

Everyone sighed inwardly, but no one dared to say a word.

Inside the alchemy room, billowing heat rushed out.

The alchemy furnace in the very center was glowing with fire, and a continuous stream of heat was being injected from below.

Ziyan concentrated intently, her hands forming one hand seal after another, continuously casting them into the alchemy furnace.

The heat is precisely controlled, and the size can be adjusted as desired.

Judging from the other party's technique, they had clearly put a lot of thought into alchemy and were already very skilled.

"Red Liancao!"

Ziyan didn't give Gu Qingyun any time to react before speaking directly, her voice still icy cold.

Gu Qingyun was taken aback, then quickly got up and retrieved what the other party needed.

The Crimson Serpent Grass is of decent quality. Although it is not large, it exudes warmth and is rich in fire element.

Gu Qingyun handed over the elixir, but Ziyan threw it into the alchemy furnace.

Next, one medicinal herb after another came out of Ziyan's mouth, as if she were reciting the names of dishes.

Gu Qingyun dared not neglect his duties and busied himself serving the medicinal herbs one after another.

Ziyan didn't even glance at it, her mind entirely focused on the alchemy furnace.

Whatever they were given, they threw into the alchemy furnace.

Under the scorching heat, the medicinal herbs quickly shed their outer skin and melted into liquid.

Under the alchemist's extremely skillful control, they complement each other and blend together perfectly.

Before long, the air was filled with the fragrance of elixir, and there were faint signs of elixir forming inside the alchemy furnace.

Victory is imminent!

However, Ziyan frowned slightly at this moment and muttered to herself, "Not yet, not hot enough!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a stream of spiritual energy was injected into the alchemy furnace, and the temperature of the furnace fire rose rapidly.

The alchemy furnace crackled and popped as the nearly formed pill melted away again!

Impurities are evaporated at this moment, and the medicinal power is rapidly purified!

Gu Qingyun frowned.

Although he had never actually refined pills, he could clearly perceive the situation inside the pill-refining furnace.

The various elixirs were indeed merging together, but their effects were heading in an abnormal direction.

Continuing like this might be a mistake!

He gritted his teeth.

If you don't speak up now, you'll never have another chance!

He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Fairy Ziyan, the medicinal properties inside the alchemy furnace are far too complex. Besides fire-attribute spiritual herbs, there are also many extremely cold substances!"

"If the heat is suddenly increased now, it will be difficult to neutralize the extreme cold power in a short time. Before it can be completely refined, the alchemy furnace will probably explode first..."

Putting aside the possibility of the furnace exploding and affecting him, if this crazy woman fails in alchemy and vents her anger on him, he will still die!

"You, a menial servant, know how to refine pills?"

Zi Yan spoke in a cold voice, her eyes radiating icy coldness.

Gu Qingyun knew that the other party was truly filled with murderous intent at this moment.

"This disciple dares to say that I only have some basic understanding of medicinal herbs, and I am certainly not as good as you, fairy."

Gu Qingyun quickly added, his forehead already covered in a thin layer of sweat.

"The fairy probably wouldn't want to waste this batch of spiritual herbs, would she?"

Ziyan did not reply immediately after she finished speaking.

As an inner disciple, although you don't need to spend time collecting the materials needed for alchemy, you still need to pay spirit stones.

Even with some discounts, the cost of producing a single batch of pills is still considerable.

Even for her, a single failure would be a huge blow.

Otherwise, Ziyan wouldn't have been so furious during the last alchemy session.

She gave Gu Qingyun a deep look before turning her attention back to the alchemy furnace.

Carefully feel the spiritual liquid that has melted into a ball inside, and experience every change.

In an instant, Ziyan realized that Gu Qingyun was right.

The extremely cold substance had not completely melted, and the chill on it had not yet dissipated.

If forced to fuse, even if a pill is eventually formed, its quality will definitely not be very high!

However, if an accident occurs during the process, the probability of the oven exploding is extremely high!

Ziyan finally relented: "I didn't expect you to have this kind of insight."

She didn't waste any more time, quickly controlling the heat and proceeding step by step to continue purifying the medicinal liquid.

This time, Ziyan was much more patient.

Only when everything is forged to perfection can the fusion begin.

In just a short while, the already overflowing aroma of medicine became even stronger.

Zi Yan was overjoyed and quickly condensed into a pill-making hand seal.

With a muffled bang, the alchemy furnace was opened, and several round pills flew out and landed in his hand.

Lingyuan Pill, a third-grade elixir, of inferior quality.

Originally, there should have been twelve pieces in one batch, but due to poor skills, only eight pieces were produced, and the rest had long been burned to ashes.

With her current cultivation level of half-step Foundation Establishment, it is already quite remarkable that Ziyan can refine a Grade 3 Spirit Essence Pill.

Looking at the pill in her hand, her beautiful face softened with a smile and lost some of its icy edge.

It's clear that Ziyan is quite satisfied with the result this time.

After carefully putting away the pills, she turned to look at Gu Qingyun.

"name."

Although still cold, their attitude was much better than before.

At least it's not so terrifying anymore.

"Disciple Gu Qingyun."

Gu Qingyun answered honestly.

"Gu Qingyun?"

Ziyan read it aloud again and wrote the name down.

"You have talent, much better than other menial laborers."

Although she said that, her tone carried more of a condescending scrutiny.

Gu Qingyun, of course, dared not respond to these words and could only lower his head in silence.

Ziyan stood up and came closer.

A fragrant breeze wafted over, the body's scent carrying a hint of elixir, surprisingly pleasant.

Gu Qingyun lowered his head even further, not daring to make any more movements.

"Look up, let me see."

Ziyan spoke directly, her voice still cold.

"Consider this a debt I owe you. Just tell me what you want. I, Ziyan, never like to owe anyone anything."

Gu Qingyun's heart stirred.

What I want most is, of course, to leave as soon as possible.

Especially with lunatics like Ziyan, the farther away you are, the better.

But how could one possibly say such a thing?

"This is all my duty, and I dare not accept any reward."

Gu Qingyun was terrified, wondering what Ziyan was up to.

But his intuition told him that he shouldn't take anything from this crazy woman.

Are you questioning me?

not good!

With a backhand strike, the speed was so fast that Gu Qingyun had no chance to react at all.

He only had time to mobilize his spiritual power to protect his heart meridian.

The terrifying force instantly and severely injured Gu Qingyun, who coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, his face pale, and he leaned against the wall.

"Hmph! No one dares to refuse what this fairy wants to give!"

Ziyan snorted coldly, her eyes filled with icy intent, showing no remorse or reluctance after repaying kindness with enmity.

That palm strike just now was no joke; it was meant to kill.

If Gu Qingyun hadn't possessed a high level of cultivation, he would have surely perished on the spot!

"Remember, you have to accept the respect I give you. Consider this a redemption, but if there's a next time, hmph!"

Ziyan didn't continue speaking, but a flash of murderous intent disappeared from her eyes.

After saying this, he waved his sleeve and left, leaving Gu Qingyun alone.

"Damn it! You crazy woman!"

Gu Qingyun clutched her chest and gritted her teeth as she stood up.

Watching Ziyan's disappearing figure, his eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.
