Chapter 106: Completely, Ruined!
This pill cauldron was the most precious one among Old Man Baâs many pill cauldrons. Ordinarily, when he refined pills, he wouldnât lightly make use of it. However, Feng Wu couldnât be bothered about it much right now. Everything served her most important goal, refining the Nine Reversal Spirit Pill.
All of the principal materials and supplementary materials were carried on Feng Wuâs person. Moreover, theyâd already been cleaned, cut and processed.
Looking at those neatly arranged main and supplementary medicinal ingredients, Feng Wu sucked in a deep breathâŠâŠall of her efforts during the last five years came down to this one procedure. If she failedâŠâŠshe didnât know at what year, at what month, it would be before she could prepare all of these materials again next time.
Thatâs why, no matter what, she must succeed!
Feng Wu secretly clenched her fists, then opened her eyes. An unprecedented seriousness and gravity resided in her eyes.
She first placed one of the main ingredients, the Wintry Crow Demon Blood, into the pill cauldron. After she boiled the Wintry Crow Demon Blood, Feng Wu then put in the giant Horned Blood Beeâs queen bee that had been frozen in advance. Then after thatâŠâŠ
Her pair of as fine as jade hands and fingers methodically added the medicinal ingredients inside, steadily, as if sheâs doing something sheâd done every time.
Actually, this matter concerned her entire life and future!
She absolutely couldnât afford to failâŠâŠ
There were forty four kinds of main ingredients and ninety-nine kinds of supplementary ingredientsâŠâŠafter each kind of medicinal ingredient was blended into the medicinal concoction, countless permutations would take place, one became two, two became four, four became eightâŠâŠendless continuous changes!
On Feng Wuâs bright and clean forehead, a thin layer of perspiration percolated.
However, she didnât even have time to wipe her sweat, allowing the sweat to condense into soybean sized beads, following which, they rolled down her pair of pink cheeks, soaking her clothes.
However, Feng Wu completely didnât pay them any heed, as she concentrated all of her attention on the pill cauldron. That pair of clear, penetrating, bright eyes blinked a couple of times, focused to the extreme.
Feng Wu fixed her attention on the situation inside the pill cauldron at all times. Even though a little bit of a crisis appeared from time to time, fortunately, her master trained her super harshly in those days, sharpening her skills to the level of a pill refining master. Each step was taken meticulously, to the point of perfection. Thereforeââ
Feng Wu finally understood now how painstakingly thoughtful her master was.
During each advancing step in the pill refining process, she focused on observing the smallest of details and averted disasters.
Her white jade-like fingers methodically added the medicinal ingredients. Thirty five out of forty-four kinds of main ingredients had already been added, eighty supplemental medicinal ingredients had also been addedâŠâŠ
As the end drew near, the medical essences that were synthesized became increasingly complex and it also became increasingly difficult to control them.
Right at this time, the sound of footsteps transmitted from outside.
The sound of knocks on the door.
Feng Wuâs fair and jade-like forehead puckered. Her thinking process was forcefully interrupted!
When she was about to yell, suddenly, Old Man Baâs voice transmitted from outside. âYoung girl, open the door. An honored guest has come.â
Honored guest? Feng Wu hadnât spoken before she heard a familiar voice. âHey! What the heck are you doing in there? Itâs been practically half a day and youâre still not opening the door? If you were incubating eggs, itâd be enough to incubate an entire nest.â
The hand Feng Wu was using to add a supplemental medicinal ingredient instantly trembled!
This totally unconcealed voice clearly belonged to that loud-mouthed, noisy and silly youngster, Feng Xun!
Feng Xun definitely wouldnât be considered an honored guest by Old Man Ba!
In that case, whoâs the person whoâs considered to be an honored guest by Old Man Ba? !
The answer was already clear in the next breath!
Feng Wu looked at the Immortal Spirit Fruit juice she was holding that she was getting ready to pour in, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat!
(Authorâs note: PS: Yâall guess, will the evil Xiao Nuan (authorâs name) allow Little Fifth to successfully refine the pill? Mm~~ requesting your recommendations, haha~)
