Chapter 137 Use Medicinal Materials as Firewood?

When night fell, Ji Tianxing left the Spirit Medicine Hall and returned to Fengyunyuan.

He had visited Ji Ke just now and chatted with Ke Ke for a long time.

He finally felt relieved when he learned that Keke's life was safe and that he could recover after a month of rest and recuperation.

After returning to Fengyunyuan, he didn't dare to sleep and rest, and hurriedly entered the secret room to heal and cultivate.

The day after tomorrow is the end of the month, when Han Qiaosheng will examine everyone's alchemy.

Ji Tianxing was locked in the Batu Cave for more than ten days, unable to practice alchemy, and was already far behind other disciples.

But even so, he was unwilling to give up Fengyun Academy's first monthly test, and still had to participate in the test the day after tomorrow.

The night passed quickly.

After a night of luck training, Ji Tianxing's injuries have recovered a lot, and his complexion has improved significantly.

The next morning, after he finished washing up, he left Fengyunyuan and went to Tai'an Palace.

Although he hadn't been to Tai'an Palace for more than ten days, he was imprisoned in the Batu Cave and couldn't help himself.

Now that he has regained his freedom, Han Qiaosheng has not yet passed the one-month deadline for punishing him for sweeping the floor. Of course, he must follow the rules and continue to sweep the floor in Tai'an Palace.

When the morning sun rose, Ji Tianxing came to the gate of Tai'an Palace.

The dumb swordsman guarding the gate had not seen him for more than ten days, and was stunned when he saw his figure.

Ji Tianxing could only explain to Jiannu before being allowed in.

After entering Tai'an Palace, he consciously took a broom and a bamboo basket and cleaned the dust and leaves in the triple courtyard.

However, he only cleaned for a while, and the door of the pill room opened.

Xiang Wuji opened the door and walked out, standing under the eaves, yawning and stretching, his white hair and beard still stained with medicinal dregs.

When he saw Ji Tianxing in the yard, he couldn't help but froze for a moment.

After regaining his senses, he smiled and scolded: "You stinky boy, you haven't come to sweep the floor for half a month, why are you back today?"

Ji Tianxing hurriedly bowed his hands to him and briefly explained the matter.

After listening to Xiang Wuji, the smile on his face became even more teasing, and he said with a smile: "Tsk tsk, you are really unlucky!"

"You have only entered the sect for less than a month, and you have encountered so many troubles, and you have been locked up for half a month."

Ji Tianxing was speechless, only a wry smile appeared on his face.

Xiang Wuji yawned again, and suddenly thought of something, he waved to him and said, "Boy, since you haven't come to sweep the floor for half a month, you should do some work for this old man today."

"You don't have to sweep the floor, go to the pill room to help the old man stare at the medicine in the pill furnace, don't make any mistakes, or the old man will beat you to death!"

"The old man has stayed up all night, go back to the room and sleep for a while."

After all, he didn't care whether Ji Tianxing agreed or not, and went back to his room to sleep with his hands behind his back.

Ji Tianxing showed a helpless expression, he could only put down his broom and bamboo basket, and entered the pill room to take care of the pill furnace.

There are three elixir furnaces in the elixir room. The bronze elixir furnace in the middle is one person high, and it is emitting green smoke.

There is a formation at the bottom of the furnace, and the real fire is constantly rising.

I don't know what medicinal herbs were put in the pill stove, and the smoke that came out was full of a strong fragrance of grass and trees.

What Ji Tianxing has to do is very simple, he just needs to keep an eye on the pill furnace to make sure there are no accidents.

As long as the formation of the alchemy furnace does not stop, the real fire of alchemy will not be extinguished.

Ji Tianxing sat next to the pill stove and stared at the pill stove for a while, then he felt a little bored.

He looked around and saw a few old books on the table in the corner.

These books are all related to alchemy, and they are opened and placed on the table at will.

Ji Tianxing picked up one of the ancient books, and after reading a few pages, his face changed slightly, and a look of joy flashed in his eyes.

"This ancient book is the profound knowledge of the Alchemy Dao, and the outer disciples can't touch it at all!"

"I didn't expect that the old man would put these precious classics on the table so casually... I want to read more while he is sleeping, it will be difficult to see it later."

So, he sat at the table and read the alchemy books carefully.

Time passed quietly, and before you knew it, half a day passed.

Ji Tianxing finished reading the whole book, but he didn't feel hungry or sleepy either.

After reading the complete book of the Alchemy Dao, he had a deeper understanding of the Dao of alchemy, and he had a lot of enlightenment and feelings in his heart.

Before, he still had many obscure and puzzled things about Dan Dao.

Now that all these problems were solved, he suddenly realized.

Invisibly, his alchemy attainments and cognition have improved a lot.

At noon, Xiang Wuji was still sleeping in his room and never showed up.

Ji Tianxing put down the ancient books and began to ponder the content of the monthly exam tomorrow.

"Tomorrow is going to take the monthly exam. We have to refine Lingyun Pill, Qingyu Pill and Yangxin Pill. Unfortunately, I haven't practiced it yet, so there is a high chance of failure."

Thinking of this, he was a little anxious and worried.

Frowning for a moment, he suddenly raised his head to look at the idle brass pill furnace not far away, and then looked at the medicine cabinets around him.

A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.

"The old man has both a pill furnace and various medicinal materials here. Why don't I borrow his pill room and try to refine those three kinds of medicinal herbs?"

"Anyway, the old man's heart is not bad. Those three kinds of medicinal herbs are only the top grades of Yuan level, and the materials for alchemy are not so expensive and rare... The old man should not mind, right?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Tianxing dared to try alchemy.

According to the formula of the three medicinal herbs, he gathered all the more than 30 kinds of materials in the medicine cabinet.

Then, he turned on the formation of the brass pill furnace, activating the fire of true essence, and preheating the pill furnace.

After everything was ready, he began to refine the Lingyun Pill.

According to a fixed order, he put twelve kinds of medicinal materials into the pill furnace in turn and began to refine them.

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed, and it was time for Lingyun Pill to be released.

However, when Ji Tianxing lifted the lid of the furnace, he smelled a burning smell.

After he opened the pill stove, he found that there was no medicinal pill in the pill stove, only a puff of black ash.

"Uh... the first time I tried alchemy, I failed!"

"Fortunately no one saw it, otherwise it would be embarrassing."

Ji Tianxing was a little embarrassed, and quickly cleaned the black ashes in the pill furnace.

However, Xiang Wuji didn't know when he came to the pill room, leaning at the door, looking at him with a sneer.

"The material of the pill room is correct, and the refining steps are correct, but you forgot to control the fire!"

"You idiot, you only know how to formulate medicine pills according to the script?"

Ji Tianxing suddenly shook his body and turned his head to look at the door.

Seeing Xiang Wuji, he quickly squeezed out an embarrassed smile, "Senior, why are you awake, don't you sleep a little longer?"

The sneer on Xiang Wuji's face was even worse, and he scolded angrily: "The old man can smell the burnt smell across the three rooms, how can he still sleep?"

"Humph! I'm afraid that if I sleep a little longer, you will burn all the old man's medicinal materials as firewood!"
