Hearing Little Spirit's painful wail, she rolled her eyes at him and said, "Who told me that the furnace exploded during the refining process?"
Little Spirit caught the meaning behind Sima Youyue's words and immediately flashed in front of her. His eyes lit up as he looked at her in disbelief and asked, "If the furnace didn't explode during the refining process, then could it be that you were fusing the ingredients?"
"That's right!" Sima Youyue wiped her face and smeared the only clean part of her face.
"How is that possible? You've only studied the refining process for a few days. How did you advance to the next step?" Little Spirit said, "I heard from the previous Alchemist Master that an average person can master the steps of refining within a month. Being able to enter the Beginner's Realm is already not bad. At that time, his innate talent was extremely good, but it still took him twenty days to master the refining method. In such a short time, how could you …"
"Others take that long?" Sima Youyue was slightly surprised, "Refining the ingredients is very simple. I only used two days to master it."
"Two days?!" The beasts in the house all cried out in surprise.
Two days to master it. Thinking about how Little Spirit said that others would need a month, a few pairs of eyes looked at her as if they were looking at a monster.
"That's right. On the second day after I entered, I had already refined the first bottle of essence. After that, I spent the rest of the time repeatedly practicing." Sima Youyue shrugged her shoulders and said, "After that, when I was studying the pill formula, I realized that the ingredients that I had refined before could be used to refine a type of pill. So I wanted to try it out. Everything was fine before, but when I was refining the last two ingredients, the furnace exploded."
At this moment, Little Spirit was so excited that he couldn't speak. Only by fiercely hugging Sima Youyue's shoulders could he express his excitement. After a long time, he said, "I thought that you were a trash in refining pills. So you're actually a genius. No, you're a genius hahahaha! This way, I'll have candy to eat in the future. This is great! "
Sima Youyue's mouth twitched. Did this guy think that she was a candy production machine?
"Alright, let's go down first. I'll clean this place up and take a shower. Then, I'll come back to investigate why the furnace exploded." Sima Youyue said.
"No need, no need, I'll clean up here." Little Spirit said with a flattering smile, "You just have to take a bath and think about the reason for the explosion."
Of course, she was happy that someone was willing to help her. Thus, she asked him to get her a bathtub and happily took a bath.
"What went wrong?" In the bathroom prepared by Little Spirit, Sima Youyue was soaking in the bathtub. She leaned her head against the edge of the bathtub and looked at the ceiling.
Her steps were definitely correct, and the order of putting the essence of the herbs was also correct. She was very sure of these two points, so the problem definitely did not lie in these two places.
"If that's the case, then it should be about the purity of the medicinal herbs and the control of the furnace's temperature." Sima Youyue murmured, "It seems that I have to strengthen the practice of refining and control the temperature of each step of refining pills."
After taking a bath, Sima Youyue went to the Pill Refining Room again. Seeing that the room had been cleaned up, she sighed at Little Spirit's quick actions.
However, she forgot that this place was originally inside the Spirit Pearl. Little Spirit only needed to use his brain and this place would be restored to its original state.
This time, she did not start immediately. Instead, she took out a Pill Refining Book and read it. She repeatedly compared her refining steps to see if she had any shortcomings. After confirming that there were no problems, she began to refine the medicinal herbs.
When she slowly calmed down, she found that the purity of her refining had increased by a lot.
"Master, there's movement outside." Little Spirit suddenly appeared and said to Sima Youyue.
"Is Grandfather coming out of seclusion?" Sima Youyue asked.
In order to prevent anything from happening, she asked Little Spirit to pay attention to the movements outside when she was studying Pill Refining again.
"It should be." Little Spirit said, "I feel that the Spirit Qi outside is a little abnormal. It feels like someone is advancing in rank."
When Sima Youyue heard this, she put down the half-refined medicinal herbs in her hands and with a thought, she went outside.
She opened the door and saw her two servant girls guarding outside her door. She asked, "Why are you two here?"
"In reply to Young Master, we thought that since you haven't come out for so many days, you might be cultivating inside. In order to not let anyone disturb you, we waited here."
Sima Youyue did not expect that they would still be so dutiful even though her predecessor had treated them so badly. She said, "Okay, I'm out now. You can all go and rest."
After speaking, she went to Sima Lie's study room and found the entrance to the tunnel. She slowly groped her way down.
When she reached the outside of the secret room, Sima Youyue did not continue but stood guard here.
Ever since her body was transformed by Chi Yan, she was much more sensitive to the Spirit Qi in the air. Perhaps the people outside did not notice the changes in the Spirit Qi in the air, but she could feel the endless fire Spirit Qi gathering in the secret room.
After half an hour, Sima Youyue felt the flow of Spirit Qi slowing down. She knew that her advancement had ended.
Sure enough, very quickly, the door of the secret room slowly retreated into the walls on both sides. Sima Lie walked out from inside.
"Grandfather." Sima Youyue went up to him and said with a smile, "Congratulations Grandfather for advancing to another level!"
"Ha ha, this is all thanks to those two pills of yours." Sima Lie did not expect Sima Youyue to be waiting for him here. He was stunned for a moment before he laughed loudly. "How did you know that I was coming out?"
"I felt the Spirit Qi in the air and guessed that Grandfather had advanced successfully. That's why I came to pick Grandfather up." Sima Youyue said with a smile.
"You can feel the Spirit Qi when I advanced?" Sima Lie was a little surprised.
If others could feel it too, then wouldn't it be impossible for him to hide the fact that he had advanced?
"Grandfather, don't worry. No one else could feel it." Sima Youyue said, "Before I came in, I asked Little Roar to set up a barrier. No one else could feel it."
"Little Roar?"
"It's me, Grandfather!" Little Roar came down from the secret passage and floated in front of Sima Lie with an expression that said, "Hurry up and praise me!"
Sima Lie was shocked. What kind of spirit beast was this? Not only could it speak, it could also set up a barrier? Previously when he saw Sima Youyue hugging it, he thought that it was a spirit pet that she had bought outside.
"Although Little Roar doesn't have any fighting ability now, he can still set up a barrier." Sima Youyue said, "So Grandfather, you don't have to worry."
She had asked Little Roar to set up a barrier around the study room after she entered the secret passage so that no one outside could feel the changes in the General's Residence. Before this, she had thought it through. It was better to pretend to be a pig to eat a tiger than to show off. Just like herself in the 21st century, if she was not too powerful in the organization, she would not have been harmed by the second in command.
"Alright Grandfather, let's go out now. I think that Brother and the others will be happy to know that you have advanced." Sima Youyue held onto Sima Lie's arm and the two of them walked out of the secret passage.
