3196 The Medicine Exploded
“That’s right! The furnace didn’t explode!” She smiled inexplicably and her gaze fell on the furnace.
The medicine exploded, but the furnace didn’t explode? Something was not right!
“Hehe, the Valley Master said that the furnace won’t explode, and you can use it to refine medicinal pills.” The little medicine boy spoke hastily, as if to prove what he said was the truth. His clear eyes stared closely at the Pill Furnace that hadn’t been blown up.
Upon seeing this, Feng Jiu chuckled lightly and said: “I see.” She looked around and said: “It’s getting late, you should go back to rest! I don’t need your help here.”
“But the Valley Master instructed me to help you.” The little medicine boy said and lowered his head slightly. His little hands touched each other as he stood still, not wanting to leave.
Feng Jiu smiled and asked: “You are so young, what can you help me with?”
“I can carry the medicine. Young Master just needs to tell me what to do and I will help.” He blinked his eyes and raised his head with a serious look on his face, then he straightened his back and puffed out his chest, as if he was trying to convince Feng Jiu.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu thought for a while, then she said: “Tell you what! You go back and rest now, then come back tomorrow morning to help.” It was definitely not a good idea to let a small child stay up all night, she should send him back first!
The little medicine boy wanted to say something, but after he thought about it, he didn’t speak but nodded instead and promised: “I will come back at dawn tomorrow.” Then he turned around and ran away.
When she saw the little figure of the medicine boy running away, Feng Jiu couldn’t help but chuckle, and she couldn’t help but think of Little Hao’er at home. That little guy was just starting to walk, when would he be able to run as fast as him?
And there was Ze, she wondered if he knew about her disappearance. With her not having returned, she knew that the family members would be worried too. When she thought of this, she remembered that she hadn’t reported their safety, and she didn’t know if Fan Lin and the others had sent a letter back either. She had forgotten to ask them.
She looked into the night, then she took out her communication jade token and planned to send a message to Ze. However, when she thought of him in seclusion, she used the communication jade token and sent a message to Leng Hua instead and informed him about the situation here …
She continued to refine the medicinal pill through the dark of the night. However, all night long, the medicinal pill exploded, but the Pill Furnace was still not damaged. She studied it for a long time, but she was unable to figure out what was so special about this Pill Furnace.
When she saw that the sky was getting brighter, and it was getting brighter in the east, a flash of inspiration crossed her mind. She jumped up from the ground she was sitting on.
“I see!” Her eyes shone brightly as she stared at the Pill Furnace in front of her: “The problem is not in the Pill Furnace, it should be in the balance of control of the flame and the conflicting properties of the ingredients.
She patted her head: “Why didn’t I think of this?”
At that moment, she was about to refine another batch of medicinal pills to verify her conjecture when she saw a small figure walking carefully, carrying a food box. He was walking with one hand protecting the food box, as if he was preventing the contents of the box from spilling.
Feng Jiu glanced at the sky, feeling surprised. This little brat actually woke up so early? And he’s brought food?
“Young Valley Master, I’m here.”
As the little medicine boy spoke, he quickened his pace and walked over. He placed the food box carefully on the table where the spirit medicines were, and said: “I brought breakfast for Young Valley Master.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu stepped forward and saw him open up the food box and take a few things out from it.
