Sixty years of blacksmithing, a single hammer blow forging a celestial being.

Qingyue carefully placed all the herbs into the alchemy furnace, then circulated her spiritual energy and began to silently refine the pills.

Li Ping'an whispered from the side, "Be careful to control your spiritual energy!"

Qingyue nodded obediently and carefully channeled spiritual energy into the alchemy furnace.

Li Ping'an stood to the side, selecting some old firewood and placing it into the alchemy furnace to make the flames inside burn more intensely.

Qingyue was diligently refining the elixir, a bead of sweat appearing on her forehead.

When Li Ping'an saw Qingyue diligently refining pills, his heart tightened.

Good heavens! Could this girl have actually succeeded in refining it?

Please, please don't!

This is the kind of sucker I've finally found!

Only by using the discarded pills refined by the opponent can one improve their strength.

If the other party succeeds in refining it, where am I going to find a sucker?

boom!

Just as Li Ping'an was feeling worried, a familiar aroma suddenly wafted from the alchemy furnace.

Li Ping'an breathed a sigh of relief, a smile flashing across his face.

Great! It tastes just like before!

Qingyue has failed again!

Great! As long as the other party fails, I can continue to reap the benefits!

Qingyue slowly opened her eyes, looked at the sky and sighed:

"Oh dear! How could this happen?"

"I definitely succeeded last time, so why did I fail again? Could it be that I was just lucky last time?"

"Sigh, forget it, maybe I'm just not cut out for this!"

Qingyue muttered to herself. When she turned her head, she saw that Li Ping'an had half his body inside the alchemy furnace and was fiddling with something.

"Little brother, don't bother trying. This round is definitely going to fail. There's no hope."

"I've gradually accepted my fate. I know I'm just not cut out for this. I've given up!"

Qingyue pouted; she knew this batch was a complete failure, and there was no way it could turn out well.

However, Li Ping'an's deep, muffled voice rang out.

"Look, senior sister, I found something in here."

As a result, she saw Li Ping'an pull out two golden pills from the charred furnace as if by magic.

The elixir was perfectly formed, emitting a faint glow; it was clearly a top-grade body-tempering elixir.

"This...this..."

Qingyue couldn't believe it; her mouth was agape, and her face was filled with surprise and delight.

"Success again? Really?"

"real."

Li Ping'an grinned, revealing a set of bright white teeth.

"See, you succeeded again! I told you, you have a talent for alchemy, don't give up easily."

"Really?"

Qingyue was still somewhat incredulous as she accepted the two Body Tempering Pills handed to her by Li Ping'an.

This is the second time!

She thought it was just luck that the alchemy furnace could still produce pills after the first explosion, but the same thing happened a second time!

Does that mean that my alchemy requires an explosion to produce pills?

Qingyue murmured to herself, her little mind racing, and immediately summarized a set of alchemy experience:

To successfully refine pills, you must first burn the herbs and burn the furnace to a crisp before you can successfully refine the Body Tempering Pill!

"Yes, I understand."

Qingyue seemed to have found the trick, and immediately took out a small notebook from her pocket and began to take notes.

"To refine pills, the herbs need to be charred or burnt before they can be used to produce Body Tempering Pills."

Li Ping'an almost spat out a mouthful of blood when he looked at her recorded alchemy experience.

But it doesn't matter!

As long as Qingyue can reliably provide him with a few batches of waste pills and defective pills every day, he can reliably provide her with two to three Body Tempering Pills!

This seems to be beneficial to both sides!

Hahaha!

Li Ping'an stood aside, chuckling, without disturbing Qingyue as she summarized her alchemy experience.

"Okay, I'm very happy today!"

Qingyue put away her little notebook of alchemy experience, overjoyed, and patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder.

"Young brother, my success in refining the pills is largely due to your contribution!"

Li Pingan said modestly:

"Not at all, I was just helping you tend the fire. The most important thing is still you, Senior Sister. You do have the talent for alchemy."

"Of course!"

Qingyue proudly raised her head, then took out a magical artifact that emitted a faint light from her pocket.

"Hehe, little brother, I can sense your aura steadily increasing. You should be reaching the Qi Refining realm soon, right?"

Li Ping'an was suddenly startled. He never expected that Qingyue could see through his cultivation level.

A sense of unease instantly arose in his heart. This girl wasn't as innocent as she appeared!

Qingyue suddenly blinked and said with a smile:

"Little brother, you need to break through to the Qi Refining realm as soon as possible so that you can cultivate magic. I have a magic artifact here, which I will reward you with. You will be able to use it soon."

As she spoke, Qingyue casually handed the magical artifact to Li Ping'an.

After Li Ping'an accepted it, he found that the magic artifact was heavy and resembled a rubbing object.

"What...what kind of magical artifact is this?"

Li Ping'an held the two gongs, somewhat puzzled.

Qingyue smiled and said:

"Don't underestimate this magical artifact. On the surface, it's a jar, but in reality... it truly is a jar!"

puff!

Upon hearing this, Li Ping'an nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

No, sis, are you kidding me?

Then Qingyue giggled and said:

"I was just kidding! Although it's a guild vessel, it's actually a spiritual artifact!"

"A spiritual artifact?"

Li Pingan was somewhat puzzled.

"That's right! When you strike this gong forcefully and infuse it with spiritual power, the gong will unleash a mental attack that will shock and intimidate the enemy!"

"How about that? Pretty impressive, huh!"

This feature is available?

Li Ping'an was taken aback upon hearing this.

This is a really good thing!

Spiritual artifacts are far more powerful than ordinary physical artifacts because they are much harder for enemies to defend against.

I just don't know if this fork is as mysterious as Qingyue said!

However, the texture and pattern of this gong are definitely not on the same level as ordinary gongs; it must be something special.

"Thank you, senior sister!"

Li Ping'an didn't stand on ceremony, put away the jade pendant, and bowed to express his gratitude.

"What's the big deal! I already told you, you're my little brother! And you've helped me refine so many pills, so of course I have to thank you!"

"Since that's the case, then this old man would like to shamelessly ask for one more thing, is that alright?"

Li Pingan suddenly spoke.

"Huh? What else do you want?"

Qingyue never expected Li Ping'an to be so shameless, wanting more after giving him a mental attack magic weapon.

Li Ping'an whispered, "I...I want a storage bag, is that okay?"

Storage bags are what I need most right now.

He now has a large bag of spirit stones on him, which is very inconvenient to carry without a storage bag.
