Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 947: The Regret of the Muyin Family

Chapter 947: Chapter 947: The Regret of the Muyin Family

Qin Sisi carefully counted the pile of low-grade spirit stones, exactly twenty in total.

She stored all the spirit stones into her storage ring, feeling quite content with this result. After all, it was her first attempt at practicing music magic without any experience—if there were a next ti, she believed she could achieve even better results.

After the music magic class ended, only the alchemy and forging classes were left.

During the last alchemy class, Teacher Mo Liu required them to concoct first-level rejuvenation pills with two clear patterns engraved on their surface.

In this class, Teacher Mo Liu raised the requirent, now demanding three clear patterns on the pills to reach an excellent grade.

For Xiao ng, this was not a challenging task. During the last class, the pill she made had already faintly displayed the third pattern, albeit quite blurred.

Once she began alchemy, the ordinarily carefree Xiao ng imdiately shifted to concentrated focus, intensely watching the pill furnace in front of her, and thodically placing Spirit Grass into it following the thods taught by Teacher Mo Liu.

At first, the pills she concocted still had only two clear wave-like patterns, with the third very blurry, scarcely visible.

After practicing with several furnaces of pills, by around noon, Xiao ng finally succeeded; the freshly concocted spirit revitalizing pills boasted three clear wave-like patterns, proudly revealing their excellent grade.

Teacher Mo Liu was quite satisfied with Xiao ng’s performance, yet also slightly regretful, he remarked, "If you had divine fire, the quality of the pills would have been even better."

Xiao ng, previously elated, showed a helpless expression and sighed faintly upon hearing Teacher Mo Liu’s words.

Divine fire greatly aids in Alchemy. While the Muyin family, a lineage with many alchemists, did not possess divine fire, this was indeed an embarrassing matter.

This also ant that despite the Muyin family’s exceptional wood attribute talent, their alchemy could hardly reach extrely high levels due to the lack of divine fire to assist.

Becoming a fifth-level alchemist was almost their limit.

This was a hidden source of pain for everyone in the Muyin family.

But there was nothing they could do about it; acquiring divine fire depended on either fate or inheritance.

To avoid large-scale killings, each Sage Ruler passed down laws stating that only the original owner of divine fire could choose an inheritor; any form of violent seizure out of greed was prohibited.

Anyone who ignored these laws and forcibly seized divine fire would beco an enemy of the entire Demon Sacred Realm.

As divine fire is distinct in color compared to ordinary flas, it is impossible to hide and easy to detect; any plunderer would have nowhere to hide.

With such concerns, even if they were tempted, everyone had to suppress their greed; the consequences of seizing divine fire were too severe for them to bear.

Therefore, for many years, the Muyin family had been unable to acquire divine fire, significantly impacting their level of alchemy.

Of course, Xiao ng also hoped to possess divine fire, but out of the ninth great divine flas, all except the long-lost Sun’s True Fire had highly influential owners already.

She simply lacked the power to seize it, and even if she did, she wouldn’t dare risk such grand treachery.

For now, she could only focus on practicing her alchemy, hoping to one day co across the opportunity to acquire divine fire.

Xiao ng, like Qin Sisi in their forging class, didn’t leave imdiately after completing the tasks assigned by Mo Liu, but chose to stay in the magic classroom to practice Alchemy, asking Mo Liu for guidance on anything she didn’t understand.

Qin Sisi watched Xiao ng’s focused deanor and knew that she would achieve great accomplishnts in Alchemy, even though the Divine Fire issue was indeed a tough problem to tackle.

In the afternoon, Qin Sisi also concocted pills with three water ripples, and one after another, the others managed to complete theirs, except for Ya Ling.

As darkness fell, after all the students who had completed the task left, Ya Ling dilly-dallied over to Teacher Wuduo and requested, "Teacher Mo Liu, I really can’t concoct a high-quality pill. Could you let

be dismissed from class first?"

Mo Liu’s face darkened and he said unhappily, "Even if you don’t like Alchemy, mastering the basics is still a must. Heaven Academy’s graduation requirent is to pass all courses, and the qualification for completing the Alchemy course is to beco a First-Level Alchemist. If you don’t strive harder, you might face difficulties graduating."

Ya Ling scratched her head and said, "Isn’t the test next sumr? It’s still a long way off!"

Mo Liu was exasperated, speaking sternly, "It takes more than a cold day to freeze three feet of ice. Do you intend to start practicing only the day before the test?"

Ya Ling pursed her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Why so fierce? I’ll practice, okay?"

After saying this, she returned reluctantly to her Pill Furnace and continued concocting pills, utterly helpless.

Ya Ling practiced until the late of the night, and Mo Liu also stayed up with her. After wasting countless ingredients, the third water ripple pattern barely started appearing on the pills Ya Ling concocted.

"This..." Mo Liu clicked his tongue, seemingly at a loss.

Ya Ling, yawning, said pitifully, "Teacher Mo Liu, please, let’s just leave it at this, I’m really too tired, and I can barely keep my eyes open."

Mo Liu sighed helplessly, waving his hand and said, "Alright, you can go."

"Oh." Ya Ling instantly cheered up and skipped joyously out of the magic classroom as if she were afraid Teacher Mo Liu might change his mind.

Unfortunately, she had only slept for three or four hours when she was awakened by the chirping of the birds outside. The day had brightened, and it was ti to rise for class.

Ya Ling climbed out of bed with great reluctance, listlessly finished her breakfast, and arrived at Tianjin Mountain.

Qin Sisi and Xiao ng stood arm in arm to the side, whispering to each other. Seeing Ya Ling’s sleep-deprived appearance, they both could guess that she must have practiced Alchemy until late the previous night.

Xiao ng gleefully raised her eyebrows at Qin Sisi, who simply smiled without speaking. They moved a little further away from Ya Ling, knowing that the sleep-deprived Ya Ling was likely in a bad mood.

The forging class was the last lesson of this round of learning, and Teacher Wuduo had set higher quality standards for the longswords.

Qin Sisi persisted in practicing forging every day, skillfully mastering it beyond those who practiced less, thus her forging was naturally much more superior.

Moreover, with the aid of the Divine Fire, the longswords she forged were of the best quality amongst all and took the shortest amount of ti to make.

In the forging class, she undoubtedly beca the most dazzling presence.

Teacher Wuduo also pinned all of his hopes of passing on his craft on Qin Sisi, giving her generous teachings and ticulous instruction.

Ya Ling, lacking sleep and already in a poor mood, beca even more resentful upon seeing Qin Sisi being favored by the teacher and envied by the classmates.
