Primordial Treasure Mirror

After Min Yue spoke.

Chen Yuan immediately came out of the house, bowed, and said:

"Senior sister, all the spiritual materials have been prepared, and we can start the furnace at any time."

Min Yue nodded slightly.

She walked to the bronze furnace and made a hand gesture.

A stream of cyan spiritual energy entered the furnace.

The bronze furnace hummed and trembled slightly.

A moment later.

The bronze furnace stabilized.

Flames rose from the bottom, and the temperature inside the courtyard suddenly increased.

A wave of heat swept over us.

Su Yang and the other servants and alchemists couldn't help but take a slight step back.

The alchemy process is about to begin.

These alchemists couldn't offer much help; they could only watch from the sidelines, ready to be ordered around at any time.

Su Yang watched Min Yue's movements intently.

This was Min Yue's first time officially starting to refine pills.

The elixir she chose was the Bigu Pill.

The Bigu Pill is almost the simplest of all elixirs.

It didn't even qualify as a graded pill; it's considered a low-grade elixir.

To refine such elixirs.

It doesn't require sophisticated fire control skills or overly complex drug fusion techniques.

Simply fuse the essence of two kinds of spiritual herbs and one kind of spiritual rice together, and then make it into pills.

However, it was just a second-rate elixir.

However, it is extremely suitable for beginners in alchemy.

Therefore, most novice alchemists refine the first batch of pills they make, which are the Bigu Pills.

Min Yue is clearly a person who seeks stability, so choosing the Bigu Pill is perfectly normal.

She used her right hand to perform a flame-holding incantation, stabilizing the flames inside the furnace.

With his left hand, he picked up a green sprout grass that Chen Yuan had prepared, wrapped it in spiritual energy, and put it into the furnace.

The herbs dried and crumbled rapidly under the heat of the stove, releasing wisps of pale green essence.

Followed by.

She also put Shiyami and another medicinal herb, Huangyuangen, into the furnace.

The essence of the two elixirs merged with the essence of the original green sprout grass.

It gradually solidified into a bluish-yellow paste inside the furnace.

Min Yue's expression was focused, her fingers trembling slightly as she constantly adjusted the flames inside the furnace.

Su Yang watched silently, secretly memorizing every technique and movement she made.

Although he was just a disciple standing by and watching, he didn't even recognize all the medicinal herbs.

But he believed.

It won't be long.

He would also stand in front of the alchemy furnace and personally refine a batch of pills that belonged to him.

Min Yue's first alchemy session lasted a full hour.

After she withdrew the Flame Holding Technique and extinguished the flames in the alchemy furnace.

Her face looked very pale.

Because at this moment, there were no finished pills in the alchemy furnace, only charred residue.

Min Yue's first attempt at obtaining the Bigu Elixir failed.

She took a deep breath; she wasn't in a good mood.

Even though she didn't make any major mistakes, she still ended up with a batch of worthless slag.

This made her very irritable.

Chen Yuan saw through her thoughts and quickly stepped forward, whispering his advice:

"Senior sister, don't take it to heart. You should know that even the sect's number one alchemist, Elder Lian Tian, ​​failed when he first started refining pills."

"The art of alchemy is all about accumulating experience over time. It's perfectly normal to fail in the first few batches."

Upon hearing this, Min Yue's expression softened slightly.

Chen Yuan's words were not meant to flatter her.

She herself is well aware of this.

Alchemy is not like cultivation; it cannot be accomplished overnight simply by having good aptitude.

The timing, the properties of the ingredients, and the timing—all these aspects require experience to refine.

It can't be rushed.

The problem is, she doesn't have much time to slowly work things out.

Min Yue lowered her eyes and slowly said:

"There's only a little over a month left before Elder Lianhuo recruits disciples."

Chen Yuan paused for a moment, then remained silent.

Min Yue continued in a calm tone:

"In the next month or so, I need to refine at least two kinds of first-tier pills to become a true first-tier alchemist before I will be qualified to participate in the assessment."

"My time is running out."

Su Yang listened to his words and seemed to be deep in thought.

It turns out that the reason Min Yue wanted to learn alchemy was to become the disciple of that Elder of Fire Refining.

Su Yang was not familiar with the sect's higher-ups, but since Min Yue was so concerned about this matter, it was clear that Elder Lianhuo held a prominent position within the sect.

We can inquire about it more in the future.

Chen Yuan was silent for a moment before speaking:

"Junior Brother has also heard about Elder Lianhuo taking on disciples. Senior Sister and Senior Sister Yu must have learned alchemy for this reason, right?"

Upon hearing the words "Senior Sister Yu," Min Yue snorted coldly.

"That's right, she tries to compete with me in everything she does, but doesn't she realize that alchemy is something that can be won just by wanting to compete? In the end, it still depends on talent."

Chen Yuan was, after all, an outer disciple, and obviously didn't know much about Elder Lianhuo.

"Senior Sister, is Elder Lianhuo really that difficult to worship?"

A bitter smile appeared on Senior Sister Min's lips:

"Elder Lianhuo is a second-tier alchemist at the peak of Foundation Establishment. In the entire Qingyang Sect, apart from the two Golden Core Ancestors and Elder Liantian, a third-tier alchemist, he has the highest status."

Even the sect leader has to show him respect.

Peak Foundation Establishment, Second-Order Alchemist.

Su Yang was startled.

Either of these identities would hold a high position within the Qingyang Sect.

Elder Lianhuo, however, is both of these.

No wonder Min Yue, the daughter of an outer sect Foundation Establishment elder, is so eager to become his disciple.

If one could be accepted as a personal disciple by this person.

Min Yue's status will immediately rise accordingly.

At that time, Yu Shuang was no match for her.

No wonder Yu Shuang and she were arguing so fiercely.

Min Yue spoke again:

"Elder Lianhuo doesn't usually accept disciples; he's only taken on two in decades. Now that he's released this news, I wonder how many inner disciples want to become his disciples."

Her voice was slightly low:

"Actually, I know that I've only just started learning alchemy, and my chances of becoming his disciple are slim."

"But I still have to give it a try. Even if Elder Lianhuo doesn't think much of me, if I can perform well, maybe the other second-tier alchemist elders will notice me."

"It would be wonderful if I could become their disciple."

Chen Yuan listened quietly without saying a word.

As an outer disciple, he had no say in such matters and could offer no advice.

Su Yang finally understood why Min Yue seemed a little impatient.

She's just started learning, doesn't have much time, and faces many competitors, so her future prospects aren't very optimistic.

Fortunately, Min Yue has a good ability to adjust herself.

She quickly composed herself and walked back to the bronze furnace:

"Another batch, please!"

Min Yue made a hand seal to start the furnace.

It was the same process again.

The pill gradually took shape, but in the end, it still failed.

Min Yue expressionlessly instructed the alchemists to clean up the slag.

Without saying much, he started the third batch.

This time.

She became even more focused.

They also became more careful.

The flames in the alchemy furnace were steady.

The essence of green and yellow hues blended and intertwined.

It condensed into a fist-sized ball of paste.

Min Yue made another hand seal.

The paste slowly shrinks and solidifies.

Finally, it split into several pills of varying sizes.

Her face lit up with joy, and she quickly ended the incantation to extinguish the fire. With a wave of her hand, she opened the alchemy furnace.

Five pills flew out from inside.
