Chapter 260: Lab Rat! Failure!
In fact, both Xuening and Ye Zhiqiu had already prepared for failure.
But succeeding on the first try took them by surprise.
After a moment of stunned silence, the four present were filled with immense joy.
Succeeding on the first try was naturally the best outcome.
Ye Zhiqiu, both excited and nervous, continued to control the flames and the pill in the furnace, striving to refine it to perfection.
However, she didn’t control it for too long before gently patting the cauldron.
The crimson Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill flew out of the furnace.
“I feel like refining it for a while longer might ruin it.
At this stage, it should only have reached mid-grade quality, but I think it’ll be enough, right?”
For the first Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, Ye Zhiqiu just wanted to be safe.Alchemy wasn’t just about skill; luck played a significant role too.
Perhaps they wouldn’t have this kind of luck again.
As long as the first one was successfully refined, they could experiment freely afterwards.
Time was still on their side, after all, they didn’t know what time the dawn rendezvous was set for.
“Miss Ye, what should we do now?
Should we try it directly?”
Su Jingzhen looked at the crimson Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill in Ye Zhiqiu’s hand, then at the wind-dried corpse-like ancestor of the Feng family behind them.
His expression was slightly excited.
If this Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill could directly revive the ancestor of the Feng family, then their mission would be complete.
They could then directly divide the remaining medicinal herbs.
Ye Zhiqiu’s gaze swept around the surroundings before nodding.
“If we can end it early, it’s better.
Otherwise, the people from the various forces outside will probably be anxious.
We’ve been inside for two hours now, and perhaps the people from the major forces in Yunmeng City haven’t left yet. While they are still here, take those corpses out, and perhaps let the Feng Family give us an explanation.”
As soon as Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, Bai Xiu’s eyes turned to the ancestor of the Feng family.
He smiled and said, “We came in to save the ancestor of the Feng family, and those assassins were sent by some people in the Feng family. Obviously, some people in the Feng family don’t want their ancestor to wake up.
Perhaps this matter can be left for the ancestor of the Feng family to solve himself.”
Once they made a decision, Ye Zhiqiu didn’t hesitate.
She walked straight to the ancestor of the Feng family and shoved the crimson Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill into his mouth.
Then, with a flick of her spiritual energy, a gentle force dissolved the medicinal properties of the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
The pill instantly melted into a stream of energy, flowing through the ancestor of the Feng family’s limbs and bones.
Seeing this scene, the four of them, including Su Jingzhen, were filled with anticipation.
At this time, Ye Zhiqiu was already holding the Blood-Forming Pill.
As long as the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill could clear the toxins from the ancestor of the Feng family’s body, his blood would inevitably dry up.
That’s when the Blood-Forming Pill would come into play.
To better observe the ancestor of the Feng family’s condition, Su Jingzhen directly stripped him of his shirt.
The withered and emaciated body was completely exposed to the four of them.
At this moment, faint red lights flickered continuously within the meridians of his body.
The toxins of The Pink Poisonous Woman seemed to be being cleared away little by little.
Su Jingzhen and the others were slightly excited.
At least now it seemed that the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill was working.
Wherever the medicinal power of the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill passed, wisps of black smoke rose from the ancestor of the Feng family’s body.
That was the manifestation of the toxins evaporating.
“It seems it’s time to use the Blood-Forming Pill,”
Ye Zhiqiu said with a smile, ready to feed the Blood-Forming Pill to the ancestor of the Feng family.
However, just then, the four of them saw that the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman on the ancestor of the Feng family’s chest suddenly burst forth with a rather intense pink light.
The medicinal power of the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill that was rushing towards the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman was instantly dissolved and shattered.
This Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill was completely useless against the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman!
Furthermore, as the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman erupted, Su Jingzhen and the others suddenly saw that the toxins that had been cleared by the medicinal power of the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, the cleared meridians, were once again filled with the toxins of The Pink Poisonous Woman!
This was clearly a direct rebound.
The faces of the four people instantly fell.
“Why is this happening?”
“We followed the steps in the prescription exactly.
We even added several doses of poisonous blood. Why wouldn’t it work?”
Ye Zhiqiu and the others looked at each other, muttering to themselves.
No matter what kind of pill, reaching mid-grade quality was already considered good.
If it was truly the right treatment, this situation wouldn’t happen.
After a moment of contemplation, Xuening said again, “Let’s try again. We still have plenty of medicinal herbs. Just do our best. If there’s really nothing we can do, then it’s fate.”
Ye Zhiqiu nodded.
Since they are called the pride of heaven, the current situation will naturally not be able to defeat them.
The two women started the furnace again, quickly refining the medicinal herbs needed for the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
Before starting the fusion process, Ye Zhiqiu looked at Xuening.
“Sister Xuening, this time you take the lead, and I’ll assist you.”
Xuening glanced at her and didn’t refuse.
This time, she still didn’t use those high-quality cauldrons.
Ye Zhiqiu and the others didn’t say much. Xuening’s movements were still smooth and flowing, adding the refined medicinal herbs to the cauldron one by one.
Just like last time, with every ten herbs, Su Jingzhen would draw a drop of blood from the ancestor of the Feng family’s wrist.
Everything went smoothly again.
This time, Su Jingzhen noticed that Xuening’s aura and state had once again become immersed and pure.
His heart skipped a beat, knowing that Xuening had entered that state again.
He felt a surge of anticipation.
In this Dan Heart state, it was possible to create miracles.
After two incense sticks, Ye Zhiqiu joined the process of fusing the pill.
The two women had cooperated many times, and their tacit understanding was quite good.
Although it wasn’t as good as Xuening and Su Jingzhen’s, Ye Zhiqiu’s alchemy skills were higher, so everything went smoothly.
When all forty-eight herbs were fully integrated, Xuening’s face remained calm as she controlled the pill and the flames, continuing to refine it in the ordinary cauldron.
She strived for the best quality.
“It worked again! It seems I still have a big gap compared to them.”
Bai Xiu’s heart trembled again. They successfully refined the pill twice in a row.
This was certainly due to the fact that this place was a spiritual vein’s eye, with a favorable environment, but more importantly, the person was awesome!
And this time, it seemed like the quality could be even better.
After dozens of breaths, the pill flew out of the cauldron, and Xuening grabbed it.
This pill, in terms of roundness and luster, was a notch better than the previous one.
“High-grade quality!
This should be the best Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill we can refine so far.
I hope it will have the desired effect.”
Xuening looked at the pill, her expression still full of hope.
She then handed the pill directly to Ye Zhiqiu.
Ye Zhiqiu glanced at it, didn’t hesitate, and fed it to the ancestor of the Feng family again.
The old guy now looked a bit like a lab rat.
And at this moment, they were quite nervous.
“This Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill should be used this way, right?”
Even Ye Zhiqiu was starting to lose confidence.
But she still held the Blood-Forming Pill in her hand, ready to administer it to the ancestor of the Feng family at any moment.
As time passed, black smoke rose from the ancestor of the Feng family’s body again.
Some of the toxins were evaporated, however, even though it reached high-grade quality, the medicinal power of this Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill, when it invaded the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman, It also faltered just like last time.
Immediately, the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman erupted again.
The ancestor of the Feng family’s condition returned to its original state.
Ye Zhiqiu once again extended a strand of spiritual energy into the ancestor of the Feng family’s body, and her brows furrowed instantly.
“After these two attempts, his condition seems to be worse.
The toxins in his meridians were indeed dissolved by the Bodhi Breaking Through Adversity Pill.
But then, the toxins erupting from the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman, were equivalent to poisoning him again.
With two consecutive assaults, his vitality is dwindling.
If this happens a few more times, I’m afraid we’ll kill him.”
Her voice was heavy as she spoke.
Yes, if the ancestor of the Feng family died today, it would be their fault.
Xuening’s brows also furrowed suddenly: “High-grade quality isn’t enough?
Could it be that we need top or even supreme grade?
But we can’t make both those grades.”
Hearing Ye Zhiqiu and Xuening’s words, Su Jingzhen’s heart moved again.
His gaze fell on the mark of The Pink Poisonous Woman on the ancestor of the Feng family’s chest.
The previous idea surged up uncontrollably.
