Zheng Dongjue listened to his words and came to a sudden realization. He returned to the bottom with a bitter smile and said, "I was careless. Let's try again!"
"Second Grandpa, you don't have to worry about it. Being able to find the mistake now is better than being unlucky later on, right? We still have a chance to try again at the front. If we go up the steps, we might not have the chance anymore. " Zheng Tianqing showed rare generosity, not only because Zheng Dongjue was his second grandpa, but also for his own life.
After the two exchanged their insights, they prepared to start the second attempt. This time, it was Zheng Tianqing who carried it out. However, when he stepped on the first right position, his face immediately became ugly.
"Tianqing, what's wrong?" Zheng Dongjue was shocked. Looking at the position where Zheng Tianqing landed, it was exactly the same as where he stood just now. There shouldn't be a problem.
Zheng Tianqing shook his head and directly retreated. "There is also a repulsive force at this position! Could it be that the mantra can only be used once? After making a mistake, there is no way to use it again? "
It was not easy to find a way to pass. If there was really only one chance, Zheng Tianqing would hate Zheng Dongjue to death.
Just now, he said that he was generous because he could continue to try. More experience and lessons would be exchanged for a safer way to pass. But if there was only one chance, who cared about experience and lessons? Wouldn't it be fine to just go over carefully?
"How can it be? Let me try! " Zheng Dongjue refused to believe it. He stepped on the first right position again. There was indeed a repulsive force, but it was completely different from the first time.
"Why is it like this? There is no reason! " Zheng Dongjue was a little sluggish. He knew that if he took a wrong step, it would be useless to go back. So he could only return to his original position with a dumbfounded look.
"Maybe there is a time limit? As long as I fail, I have to wait for a period of time to try again? "Zheng Tianqing thought for a long time and finally came up with a reason that could comfort himself.
"Yes, yes, yes! It must be like this. Let's wait and try again! "Zheng Dongjue nodded repeatedly. He could only rely on this reason now!
So the two of them tried after a short period of time. They did not dare to try the other positions, afraid that if they continued to make mistakes, it would make the time even longer.
After more than two hours, Zheng Tianqing didn't know how many times he had stood on it before he finally felt the repulsive force disappear completely.
At this moment, his eyes were brimming with tears. Although it had only been two hours, the torment in his heart felt like it had been decades.
"Second Grandpa, it's done!" Zheng Tianqing didn't dare to move. He just turned his head slightly and gestured to Zheng Dongjue.
Zheng Dongjue finally heaved a sigh of relief. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself if this trip to the ruins ended because of him. Fortunately, things weren't too bad. It was only an hour, and they could afford to delay it.
"Tian Qing, be careful, if we make a mistake this time, maybe it will take even longer. We can't gamble, if we let Lin Yi pull too far away, maybe we won't even be able to drink the soup." Zheng Dongjue urged. If there was no time limit, it wouldn't matter if they tried a few more times. But now, they could only pursue success once.
"I understand!" Zheng Tianqing nodded and took a deep breath. Then, he stepped on the second step with a dignified expression – second left, fourth left!
There were no unexpected deviations this time. Zheng Tianqing stood firmly on the predetermined position. Fortunately, there was no problem with the division of positions. Next, as long as he continued to walk carefully, he would definitely be able to pass the 18 steps.
"Second Grandpa, you can also come up. Follow my position and don't make the slightest mistake." Zheng Tianqing relaxed a lot and turned around to ask Zheng Dongjue to keep up.
Zheng Dongjue nodded solemnly and carefully stood on the first step. Zheng Tianqing then looked at the third step and carefully determined the next step.
At this moment, the repulsive force that had disappeared appeared again. Although it didn't push him down the steps, it almost made him go crazy! Because this meant that he had failed again!
"Why? I didn't even move, why did I fail? " Zheng Tianqing roared unwillingly, but it was useless. A failure was a failure. If he wanted to continue trying, he could only wait for time to pass.
And this time, the waiting time was increased again. It was not until four hours later that he could try again. After summing up the experience, Zheng Tianqing believed that he couldn't stay too long on the safety point of each step. At most, he had to enter the next step in about a breath's time.
"Ah ah ah ah ~ ~ why did I fail again!" Zheng Tianqing roared again. It seemed that if the two of them wanted to successfully pass the 18 steps, they still needed to continue to sum up a lot of experience.
Three days passed in a flash, and Li Zaoyi finally completely understood the pill recipe. In fact, she could have started refining on the first day, but since the owner of the ruins gave her three days, there was no need for her to waste it.
It turned out that these three days were definitely not in vain. Not only did she understand every step and detail of the pill recipe, but her understanding and control of the pill fire had also improved a lot.
If it wasn't for the fact that Li Zaoyi's own strength was not enough to persist in refining a furnace of profound third grade pills, maybe she could have completed this test without Lin Yi's help.
"Lin Yi, get ready to start!" Li Zaoyi put all the prepared elixirs next to the pill furnace. After cleaning the pill furnace, she said softly to Lin Yi.
Just thinking of the embarrassing thing that happened when she and Lin Yi cooperated in alchemy last time, Li Zaoyi always felt a little strange in her heart. This time, there was Langouzha. If that happened again, what should she do?
Lin Yi coughed dryly. He also thought of that matter. Although he was confident that he could control it well, if there was an accident again, it would be somewhat unreasonable.
"Langouzha, I am working together with Li Zaoyi to refine pills. We can't be disturbed. You guard us and don't let people disturb us." Lin Yi pretended to order Langouzha. In fact, apart from the two of them, there was only Langouzha here. As for the two fools of the Zheng family, they didn't come up for three days. It was estimated that they wouldn't be able to come up.
Langouzha blinked his eyes twice. This sounded a little wrong. Did he want me to guard myself and not disturb the boss and the others? Was it so difficult?
"Boss, don't worry. I will not let you down. I promise that no one will disturb you and sister-in-law!" Langouzha nodded vigorously and patted his chest seriously.
Li Zaoyi's pretty face blushed slightly. She thought to herself, We are refining pills, not doing anything else. What does it mean to promise that no one will disturb you and … sister-in-law?
Unconsciously, Li Zaoyi didn't have much rejection for Langouzha to call her sister-in-law. Instead, she was secretly happy.
