Chapter 2024: Concocting Wisdom Pills

“This is to practice refining medicine. This was the task assigned by the Instructor.” Ning Shu put down the pill furnace and said to Yue Xing, “Father, can you help me build a stove? So that I can have a fire.”

Normally, the summoned beasts of pill refiners were related to fire. That was because the summoned beasts could then be used to help refine medicine.

However, commoners could only use firewood, which made the strength of the fire hard to control. Ning Shu bitterly planned to do so as well.

“Okay.” Yue Xing agreed without asking anything else.

Ning Shu took out a spirit essence crystal, placed it on the eye of the formation, chanted a spell, and arranged a spirit gathering formation.

Having more abundant spiritual energy could make pill concoction likelier to succeed and improve their quality.

After eating, Ning Shu began to instruct the two elders of the Yue family to start learning the Unsurpassable Martial Arts.

The two elders of the Yue family shook their heads and said that they were getting old. What point was there in them cultivating?

However, progress in the training of the Unsurpassable Martial Arts was independent of age. Ning Shu insisted that the two of them start practicing it. In the beginning, the two of them couldn’t grasp the gist of it and wanted to give up.

So Ning Shu asked Little Bean to supervise them. Occasionally, Little Bean would lift up a table to scare his parents.

Ning Shu also started to work on the pill concoction. She needed to ensure success in just one take since there was only enough material for one batch.

Ning Shu first poked at the flame under the pill furnace. Then, she pushed open the pill furnace’s lid and threw various spiritual herbs and spiritual fruits into it, controlling the materials inside with mental power.

Ning Shu stayed near the pill furnace for several days. During this time, no one was allowed to disturb her. When she was hungry, she just swallowed some fasting pills.

A few days later, the pill furnace began to emit a medicinal fragrance. Ning Shu used mental energy to probe the situation in the pill furnace. It was ready to start coagulating.

As long as the coagulation was successful, the pill concoction would be as well.

It was fortunate that she’d learned pill concoction and how to arrange a formation from the kelp. Although it had been hard to learn, she was glad that she had learned these skills.

Little Grass was a plant. The kelp was also a plant. They could be counted to be the same species.

Ning Shu clenched her teeth and drew more mental power to condense the pill.

After persisting for a long time, the wisdom pill finally condensed, and Ning Shu exhaustedly sat on the ground.

Little Grass had been hovering around Ning Shu this entire time. It was obvious that it could smell the wisdom pill.

Ning Shu wiped the sweat from her forehead, got up, and lifted the lid off the pill furnace. There were several pills in it. Ning Shu counted six.

Pretty good. Although it wasn’t as good as the kelp who could make nine or more pills per pill concoction, she shouldn’t compare herself to him. The kelp was a strange creature who had already lived for countless years.

Ning Shu wrapped up the wisdom pills, poured out one, and threw it to Little Grass. Little Grass’ roots dug into the pill and the pill soon disappeared.

Its absorption ability was simply frightening.

The green ball of light in its consciousness grew a little bit and sent waves of enjoyment and longing to Ning Shu.

Little Grass stretched out its vines to wrap around Ning Shu’s ankles and even gently scratched at Ning Shu’s skin.

Ning Shu: …So ticklish.

Ning Shu threw another wisdom pill at it. That wisdom pill was immediately absorbed as well.

Little Grass scratched Ning Shu with its leaves again, so Ning Shu gave it another one. She then said, “The rest are to be saved for later.”

Ning Shu stretched. Her entire body had turned gray from the ash, her face was pale and bluish, and she was very haggard.

After washing up, she greeted Mother Yue, telling her that she was planning to go to sleep and replenish her energy.

“Classes are starting again the day after tomorrow. Don’t sleep for too long,” Mother Yue said.

Ning Shu waved her hand, “I know.”

Little Grass also began to digest the power of the wisdom pill. Ning Shu called it back to the summoning space, then fell into a deep sleep.
