Ding!
[Qi increase by 1,440. Current Qi 1,435,269/1,495,000]
Due to Rong Hua's intrusion, Feng Xue reluctantly forewent her good ti with Snowy and decided to practice the Fire Soul Cultivation thod for the rest of the night.
While she didn't achieve initial success in one go, she more or less felt that the fire soul seed had already started forming inside her golden core.
Considering her current cultivation speed, Feng Xue estimated that she would fully form the seed within one or two weeks.
Her talent was undoubtedly better than Alchemy Goddess at that ti. Even after her transformation and cultivation base in the Nascent Soul stage, Alchemy Goddess still needed 3 months of closed cultivation to cultivate the Fire Soul Seed successfully.
This might also owe to her Phoenix bloodline and her Pure Fire Qi perfectly suitable for learning any technique related to the Fire elent.
What kind of fla would be born with these favorable circumstances?
Snowy and Feng Xue's hearts filled with expectation.
In the morning, their cultivation session was interrupted by the arrival of Elder Yang.
Snowy and Feng Xue rushed into the Main Hall, only to discover that Madam Feng had already arrived to greet Elder Yang.
Snowy and Feng Xue could perceive that Elder Yang felt a little bit troubled despite his calm expression.
It took no ti for both of them to guess what happened after seeing Elder Yang coming alone without accompanied by Grand Alchemist Chen.
"Grand Alchemist Chen can't make it here," said Elder Yang, sounding apologetic.
"What happened, Master? Didn't he promise to help us before?" Feng Xue's voice rose a bit
"Yes, he really had wanted to help to refine the dicine for your father, and a bit excited at that. However, when I went to Pill Haven to pick him up, his disciples said that Grand Alchemist Chen suddenly had enlightennt the day before I arrived and imdiately entered seclusion. If I know it's going to be like this, I should have departed earlier."
"Do you know how long his session will take, Master?" asked Feng Xue, worried.
"It's not certain," a helpless smile appeared on Elder Yang's lip as he spoke. "It might be only for a couple of weeks or even a couple of months. I had asked for his disciples to deliver my ssage to him when he exits his seclusion. We can only wait for now."
Although she felt a little aggrieved, Madam Feng still consoled Elder Yang, "It's not your fault, Elder Yang. You've tried your best. No one knows sothing like this would happen. We can only bla our bad luck."
"Can we asked another alchemist for help?" Feng Xue didn't want to give up just yet.
"I don't think so," Elder Yang shook his head. "Grand Alchemist Chen said that Snowy's recipe requires relatively high proficiency in Alchemy technique, even he didn't have any confidence to successfully refine the dicine. That was the word of the best Alchemist in the Eastern Region."
"What if I give it a try?" blurted Snowy.
"What?" Elder Yang was astonished by Snowy's suggestion.
Although he knew that the recipe was given by Snowy, he disregarded the possibility that Snowy herself was an alchemist since she never showed her capability.
He vaguely rembered that Snowy had ntioned that she could refine the dicine on her own if it wasn't for her low cultivation.
Elder Yang didn't pay much attention to her word at that ti because his thought was occupied by the urgency of reporting the matter of the recipe to the Sect Master.
Now, as the matter was coming up again, Elder Yang couldn't dismiss it easily.
"Are you an alchemist too?" asked Elder Yang.
"Yes. More or less," replied Snowy.
"What do you an by more or less? If you are an alchemist yourself, you should've heard about Grand Alchemist Chen's ability in Alchemy. I'm not belittling you, Snowy, but do you think your skill on par with him? We have only one chance this ti. There was no room for error," said Elder Yang, obviously doubting Snowy's ability.
"I don't know about Grand Alchemist Chen, but refining the dicine for Patriarch Feng, in this I have the utmost confidence," said Snowy in a matter-of-fact tone.
Elder Yang knew Snowy had many incredible thods at her disposal, and it wasn't impossible for her to succeed, as she said.
But as he said before, this was their one and only chance due to the limited ingredients. If they screwed up here, Feng Xuan's life would be the price.
His eyebrow was lowered and knitted together, seemingly indecisive.
"What do you think?"
His gaze fell on Madam Feng and Feng Xue, waiting for their decision.
At the end of the day, this matter could only be decided by the mber of the Feng Family.
"Snowy has my trust. She wasn't the type to brag unreasonably. If she says she can do it, that ans she has her way," convinced Feng Xue.
Since she knew more about Snowy's origin, Feng Xue had complete faith in Snowy's abilities.
"I also think that we should give little Snowy a chance. I believe she won't do anything that could harm our family," added Madam Feng.
"Well, if you all have already made a decision, it's not my place to argue it. But still, I think at least she has to prove her ability first," suggested Elder Yang.
"It's okay. I also need to do so preparation anyway," Snowy nodded.
Elder Yang drew a piece of a scroll from his ring and handed it over to Snowy, "This is a recipe for an upper Earth-rank pill called Core Congregation Golden Pill. This is one of the hardest pills to refine, which can only be done by the top alchemists."
Snowy examined the recipe and frowned, "This."
"What's the matter? Is there sothing wrong with the recipe?" questioned Elder Yang.
"No, it should be correct. But, this recipe can still be improved further. So ingredients had conflicting property, thus lowering the pill's effect," replied Snowy casually. "Xue, can you bring ink and brush, please?"
"Of course," chirped Feng Xue happily.
Elder Yang was startled by the fact that Snowy could see the flaw in the recipe just with a single glance. In fact, many alchemists had been wondering for ages how to increase its efficiency, but Snowy did it as if it was a simple chore.
Elder Yang was sighing in admiration; the girl in front of him genuinely couldn't be asured by ordinary ans.
