'It's over, it's over …'
Looking at Huang Yaolao's murderous eyes, Zhen Xiaoxiao felt that Small Gruel was doomed. The situation was not looking good.
'It seems like I have to work harder and see if I can appease master's anger.'
Zhen Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and focused on the pill recipe in front of her. The yellow paper was densely packed with words, recording the names, uses, and production methods of the seven pills.
The first pill, the Seven Mortal Pill, was red in color. It was the most basic blood staunching pill. Ordinary doctors would quench the same herbs to stop bleeding, and pill masters would control the fire to further condense the medicinal properties.
"Junior Sister Zhen, can you do it?"
"Of course, she can. She has the True Spirit Eighty-Feet Flame!" After being shocked by Zhen Xiaoxiao's strong spirit testing reaction, the Seven-leaf disciple who had been slapped in the face no longer dared to say anything bad about her.
"Of course not! She's just a country bumpkin who hasn't seen the world! " Yue Hongguang had finally recovered from the shock with great difficulty. He wished he could immediately see Zhen Xiaoxiao's furnace explode.
"It's hard to say whether she can or not. After all, the quality of one's spirit root has nothing to do with one's alchemy comprehension." The Medicine Pavilion's doyen was the most pertinent.
After memorizing the pill recipe, Zhen Xiaoxiao lowered her head and stared at the ingredients in front of her.
The ingredients Xiang Qian took out from the Medicine Pavilion were all whole herbs. Before they were put into the cauldron, the pill apprentices had to process them themselves.
Looking at the strange-looking choppers, triangular awls, and utensils in the basket, Zhen Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment before picking up the tool she was most comfortable with …
A cleaver!
The Xuan stem needed to be sliced, and the Great Eternal Spring juice needed to be squeezed. She picked up the Xuan stem, placed it on the table, and skillfully cut it.
The expressions on everyone's faces were indescribable. As a Medicine Pavilion disciple, Zhen Xiaoxiao had chosen such a tool.
"Pfft! Hahahaha! A cleaver! Did this girl come from the kitchen? She doesn't even know how to use a chopper. I'm dying of laughter! "Lianshan laughed so hard that his eyebrows flew into his temples.
Huang Yaolao stared at the cleaver in Zhen Xiaoxiao's hand, and his face immediately darkened.
He never expected this girl to be so poor that she never went to school! Oh no, oh no! He had been tricked by her Fire Spirit Vein. This bet was going to be a failure.
Pushing the Xuan Stem to the side, without even using the mortar, Zhen Xiaoxiao directly swung the kitchen knife and slapped the Great Periwinkle Flower leaves to the side, making "Pa Pa" sounds.
Every time the medicine table rang, the Medicine Pavilion disciples could not help but tremble. As they looked at the flickering saber light in the air, their hearts trembled.
Small Gruel, who was standing at the side, saw the familiar saber technique and smelled the aroma of food. His eyes lit up and his mouth watered.
Soon, the Big Eternal Spring Flower turned into flower mud on the table. Zhen Xiaoxiao wrapped it in gauze and squeezed out the juice.
Although all the materials obtained were correct, Zhen Xiaoxiao's inelegant handling of the process caused the onlookers' attitude to turn into mockery.
This guy's spirit root was strong, but he wanted to refine the first four Seven Mortal Pills? Hey! Isn't that a fantasy?!
Facing these mocking gazes, Zhen Xiaoxiao was a little timid. However, when she thought about her goal of Heaven Trampling, she quickly regained her composure. She put the stem slices and juice into the cauldron, carefully controlling the fire temperature.
How could she use a chopper if she didn't know how to use it? This girl did not make a single mistake!
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, an extremely faint medicinal fragrance leaked out from the cauldron, indicating the end of the fire refining process.
"The smell is as light as water." A white-bearded old man sniffed and commented.
This person's name was Luo Er. Among the five Medicine Pavilion disciples, he was the only one with a clear gaze and did not make any sarcastic remarks. Instead, he seriously observed Zhen Xiaoxiao's refining process.
"Senior Brother Luo said that the smell is as light as water … That means that the medicinal properties have dissipated and only the dregs are left!" The other four people standing beside Luo Er giggled.
At this moment, Zhen Xiaoxiao opened the lid of the cauldron.
