I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

Ye Qiao was somewhat heartbroken that these alchemists didn't know how to use large cauldrons for alchemy. She couldn't believe it: "Are all alchemists in the cultivation world this rich? Does everyone have their own alchemy furnace?"

Surely there must be some poor people who use pots just like her, right?

Ye Qiao firmly believed that there are always more solutions than problems in this world, and that even without a furnace, a pot could be used.

As a result, the members of the Biyue Sect were all completely baffled, having never heard of anyone using a pot before.

"Each of our direct disciples has several, and even the inner disciples have their own alchemy furnaces." Si Miaoyan looked at her with a complicated expression.

Not only the members of the Biyue Sect, but even the elders were hearing about using a pot for the first time.

The difference between a pot and an alchemy furnace is that an alchemy furnace is more expensive, made of top-quality materials, and has a success rate that is more than twice as high as that of a large pot.

Strictly speaking, a pot is also acceptable, since the success of alchemy depends entirely on the alchemist's skill level.

But alchemists are treasures of the cultivation world. Once discovered, they should be recruited by the Eight Great Families and the Five Great Sects. They are all wealthy, so how could they allow alchemists to be reduced to using pots?

Seeing Ye Qiao's jealous expression, almost to the point of spitting sour grapes, Ming Xuan quickly pulled her back: "Ye Qiao, calm down!! It's just a pill furnace, right? We'll take you to buy one after the secret realm ends!"

Ye Qiao was still jealous: "Second Senior Brother, have you ever heard a saying?"

"What did you say?"

Ye Qiaoyan became a lemon spirit: "My own poverty is nothing to worry about, but my teammates' wealth makes me want to die of hatred."

She couldn't understand why there was such a huge gap between the rich and poor among alchemists.

Mingxuan: "..."

Even at this point, Liu Yun looked at the pot in Ye Qiao's hand and belatedly realized, "You know how to refine pills?"

"Still using a pot to refine the elixir?"

"Why can't you use a pot for alchemy?" Ye Qiao glanced at him and sneered, "If you're not good at it, don't blame the road for being uneven."

Liu Yun chuckled softly and handed the pot to her, "Then you give it a try."

Fortunately, none of the people present had ever seen alchemy done in a pot.

Xue Yu was practically petrified. "Three cultivations?"

Mu Chongxi nudged him, grinning mockingly without any restraint: "Now you finally understand how I felt when I saw Ye Qiao learn the Qingfeng Technique so quickly, right?"

"Stop arguing," Xue Yu said. "Let's see how well Junior Sister refines pills."

Not only had he never witnessed Ye Qiao's alchemy skills, but no one else had either.

Can it be done with a pot?

Ye Qiao was practicing the Heart-Clearing Pill. She selected more than a dozen herbs, but since there was no fragrance to blend, she ultimately chose to make a simple and unadorned pill. The selection, fire control, and a series of other processes were carried out in an orderly manner.

And so far, she has not shown any discomfort on her face.

Everyone instinctively held their breath.

It should be noted that the most taboo thing when cultivating pills is interference, which can easily cause the furnace to explode, or rather, in Ye Qiao's case, the pot to explode.

"Will it work?" Qin Fanfan couldn't help but stand up, extremely nervous.

Not only was he nervous, but all five other sect elders also stood up, staring intently at the recording stone.

Some elders who were at odds with the Changming Sect were secretly praying frantically for their defeat.

After all, if it succeeds, they'll be the first cultivators in the cultivation world to be able to cultivate three paths simultaneously. Wouldn't the Changming Sect be incredibly arrogant then?

The elder of the Azure Water Sect shook his head: "It's hard to say. She seems very skilled, but selecting medicinal herbs and controlling the fire are only the first stage."

"There are still pill imprinting, purification, and pill fusion to follow." If there is even the slightest mistake, the result will be an explosion.

Ye Qiao had no idea how much of a sensation her unintentional actions would cause.

She was still pondering how many cinnabar seals to apply.

Ye Qiao can unleash ten attacks at once, but after that, she has to lie down and recover for a long time, and may even faint.

To ensure she wouldn't wake up from a dream, she decided to keep a low profile since the competition was over. She made hand seals with her fingertips, cast a pill seal, and then used the spiritual fire ignited by the talisman to purify it.

"Ahhh, Senior Sister, there are five Dan Seals!"

Miao Miao almost screamed, but luckily Si Miaoyan reacted quickly and covered her mouth: "Shut up!"

Any disturbance during alchemy practice is a major taboo, especially since Ye Qiao was not using a conventional alchemy furnace, but a large cauldron.

The chances of it exploding are very high.
