Chapter 968: Chapter 968 The Secret of the Alchemy Room
Then, after Yu Sha finished speaking, Qin Sisi was the first to take off her storage ring and hand it over.
Yu Sha glanced at her with a solemn look, but said nothing.
Soon, the storage rings of all nine people were handed over. Yu Sha collected these rings and then stepped aside, turning her head to nod at Master Yipiao.
Master Yipiao waved his arm and spoke in a resonant voice: "Go, children, you are the pride of the Demon Sacred Realm now, the future pillars of strength, let
see how great your performance can be!"
These words sparked passion, and the expressions of the nine students reflected the fervor and boldness of youth. They saluted Master Yipiao once again, a resolute look in their eyes, and then lined up and entered the magical trial tower one by one.
As soon as Qin Sisi entered, she found herself surrounded by darkness, unable to see anything.
She couldn’t help but feel nervous, groping forward with her hands while loudly calling out the nas of Xiao ng and Yun Cheng, but there was no response in the darkness, only her voice echoed around.
Just when Qin Sisi didn’t know what to do, the light returned and grew brighter and brighter. She instinctively closed her eyes, feeling as though the dazzling light could pierce one’s eyes.
However, after a mont, the light dimd again and gradually stabilized.
When she sensed that the light had stopped changing, Qin Sisi cautiously opened her eyes and found herself in a very narrow small room, alone, with her eight classmates nowhere in sight.
She looked around and saw a pill furnace on the floor with two portions of Spirit Grass neatly placed beside it, familiar from their Alchemy classes for concocting Spirit Revitalizing Pills.
Qin Sisi understood that the first magic skill to be tested was Alchemy.
She took a few deep breaths to relax, then sat cross-legged in front of the pill furnace, slowly raised her palm, and with a slight movent of her mind, she activated the Magic Source to unleash a strand of Fire Attribute Magic Power. A golden fla began to dance in her palm.
Qin Sisi first kept the fla low to warm the furnace. Once the furnace had fully adapted to her fla, she increased the heat to reach the desired temperature.
Having concocted Spirit Revitalizing Pills many tis during the half-year Alchemy classes, the process was very familiar to her, yet Qin Sisi remained cautious, carefully feeling the temperature of the furnace, timing carefully, and placing the Spirit Grass into the furnace one by one.
When a faint Spiritual Energy emanated from the furnace, Qin Sisi’s lips curled into a smile. She opened the lid of the furnace, and with a gentle pull using Magic Power, five pills with several wave-like patterns appeared in her palm.
Qin Sisi eagerly counted them, but to her disappointnt, they only had four patterns and were of high quality level, not perfect.
She stored the five pills and began using the second portion of Spirit Grass to continue concocting Spirit Revitalizing Pills, her expression even more careful and serious.
However, perhaps due to nervousness or insufficient skills, the second batch of Spirit Revitalizing Pills Qin Sisi concocted were also four patterns, high quality level.
She sighed with so regret, realizing that concocting a perfect-level pill wasn’t easy.
Just as Qin Sisi stored the second batch of five Spirit Revitalizing Pills, the pill furnace, originally placed on the floor, suddenly disappeared.
She blinked in surprise, then the black badge on her wrist began to flash. She quickly lifted her wrist to look, and saw a row of red characters appearing on the badge: "Half an hour of rest ti."
Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief. Having been fully focused on concocting pills just now, she hadn’t felt much, but now as she relaxed, she imdiately felt the fatigue in her body. She simply sat down on the floor, leaning against the wall and closed her eyes to rest.
About half an hour was about to pass, Qin Sisi opened her eyes, half out of boredom, half out of curiosity, she began to survey the small alchemy room.
The walls of the entire alchemy room were built with uniformly sized dark red bricks, with every two adjacent layers neatly staggered, presenting a very standard pattern.
Qin Sisi’s gaze swept over those bricks, and after looking at one in particular, a faint glimr of spiritual light flashed in her mind. She paused slightly, then slowly moved her gaze back, finally settling on one of the bricks.
The bricks here were uniform in size and neatly arranged, except this one brick seed to protrude slightly outward.
The protrusion was so slight that it was hard to spot unless one was observing closely.
If it were Ya Ling or Xiao ng, even if they noticed this minor issue, they would not mind, thinking it normal for one out of so many bricks to be not perfectly fitted.
But Qin Sisi did notice, in this alchemy room, all the bricks were perfectly and uniformly placed, and magic power must have been used during their construction.
The question was, if magic power was involved, why wasn’t this brick as standard as the others?
Qin Sisi watched for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked over, trying to touch the dark red brick with her finger.
To her surprise, the brick slightly moved, as if it were alive.
Out of caution, Qin Sisi touched a few other bricks, but they were all solidly secure.
Thus, she finally confird there was sothing wrong with this brick. She pinched the slight protrusion of the brick with her fingertips and slowly dragged it outwards; the brick actually moved.
Qin Sisi steadied her emotions, maintaining steady movents, and finally pulled the brick out.
This large brick was quite heavy. She held it carefully and placed it on the floor, checked all six sides, and found nothing unusual.
She then stood up again and looked into the cavity left behind by the removed brick.
This ti, she finally made a discovery: in the deepest part of the cavity, there was a Spirit Revitalizing Pill, a Third Level high quality one.
Even though both were high quality, a Third Level pill, of course, had much better effects than the First Level pill Qin Sisi had just concocted; the two were incomparable.
Qin Sisi was both shocked and delighted, she pulled up a piece of her clothing to wipe the dust off the Third Level Spirit Revitalizing Pill, greedily inhaled the spiritual energy emitted by the dicine, and instantly felt her body and spirit refreshed, clear-headed and invigorated.
She looked up into the cavity and several thoughts flashed through her mind.
Why did this happen?
Was it a benefit arranged by the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle for them?
Is this benefit available to everyone, or just to her alone?
