Master, I’m not called Little Black!
General’s Mansion
Mo Jiuli had failed five times in a row.
Looking at the only two portions of medicinal materials left on the ground, Mo Jiuli still showed no signs of tension.
She had failed at the last moment just now.
If she had not failed, she would have succeeded.
Granny Suxi watched Mo Jiuli fail time and time again, yet she did not reveal any frustration, impatience, or disappointment.
Even she felt somewhat impressed by Mo Jiuli’s temperament!
Such a woman was truly a rarity in a thousand years.
Surely, she wouldn’t let herself down…
Granny Suxi’s gaze drifted towards the endless distance, her expression becoming somewhat hazy, her mouth whispering softly, “You must have been lonely for a long time.
Just wait a little longer, and I can join you!”
Her voice was old but gentle, her simple words filled with endless longing and attachment.
The person she spoke of surely must be very important to her…
Mo Jiuli closed her eyes, allowing her heart to slowly calm down.
Recalling the previous pill refining process step by step in her mind.
After a moment, she opened her beautiful eyes, looked at Little Black in the bottom of the alchemy furnace, and said with a slight smirk, “Little Black, thank you for your hard work today!
If I have the chance next time, I’ll definitely find more delicious food for you!”
It seemed as if Little Black Flame under the alchemy furnace understood her words, as the flame flickered, as if saying, “Master, I’m not tired!
And, Master, my name is not Little Black!”
Of course, Mo Jiuli wasn’t aware of Little Black’s thoughts at the moment.
However, she did feel that ever since her Little Black had absorbed the black shadow, it had become much stronger, which made her quite pleased…
After making some preparations, both Mo Jiuli and the fire immersed themselves in a highly tense state once again, starting their sixth attempt to refine the Revenant Pill.
Just like the Pill Recipe stated, refining this pill was incredibly difficult.
Anyone else would have given up long ago if they were in Mo Jiuli’s place…
“Boom, boom, boom…”
Several loud explosions in succession announced Miss Mo’s failure yet again!
The sound of the exploding furnace brought Granny Suxi’s wandering thoughts back, and her gaze on Mo Jiuli couldn’t help but grow worried.
Could it be that this little girl couldn’t successfully refine the pill either?
Was there really no way…?
“Pff…” Mo Jiuli stuck out her tongue.
The explosion this time was a bit too powerful.
If she hadn’t dodged quickly, she might have even been caught in it.
What hurt her the most was that her alchemy furnace had been shattered.
This alchemy furnace was what she had been using before she obtained the contract booklet.
Although its grade wasn’t necessarily the highest, it was still the first alchemy furnace she used after learning pill refining, so she had some feelings for it.
Seeing it destroyed like this, Mo Jiuli couldn’t help but feel heartbroken…
However, it was evident that now was not the time for her to grieve over the alchemy furnace.
Just as she was about to ask Little Book in her mind if there was another alchemy furnace in the space, she overheard Granny Suxi say, “Child, try to see if you can form a contract with the alchemy furnace on the ground over there!
That alchemy furnace is quite strange.
Although I can use it for refining pills, I have never been able to contract it.
Since you are destined to be here, why don’t you try to see if you can form a contract with it?”
At the words of Granny Suxi, Mo Jiuli hesitated for a moment, then recalled the medicine fragrance from Granny Suxi refining the Star Soul Pill when she had first arrived.
Indeed, a burnt-looking alchemy furnace lay on the ground nearby.
Mo Jiuli couldn’t help but twitch the corners of her mouth, for she somehow felt that this alchemy furnace looked familiar.
Wasn’t it quite similar to her own Little Black?
Seeing the disdainful expression on Mo Jiuli’s face, Granny Suxi awkwardly said, “Ahem, child, although this alchemy furnace may not look impressive, it’s quite useful for refining pills!”
It’s just like your black flame.
In fact, this alchemy furnace seems quite compatible with your flame!
However, Granny Suxi didn’t have the heart to say this out loud…
In truth, even if she had said it outright, Mo Jiuli wouldn’t have complained.
Because she thought the same way!
Considering this alchemy furnace looked like it belonged with her Little Black, Mo Jiuli decided to give contracting it a try…
So, she bit her fingertip and let a drop of fresh blood fall onto the alchemy furnace.
The blood was instantly absorbed by the furnace, but then there was no reaction…
Mo Jiuli raised an eyebrow, wondering if the contract had failed.
How interesting!
Defying the odds, she slit her fingertip again, letting her blood flow directly into the furnace.
The blood was still absorbed the moment it touched the furnace, but there was still no reaction.
Mo Jiuli didn’t panic, simply letting her blood continue to drip into the furnace…
Just as Granny Suxi was about to speak up and advise Mo Jiuli to give up, Mo Jiuli abruptly pulled back her finger, rubbed some medicine powder on it, and the bleeding wound healed…
“Sigh…
It seems this alchemy furnace really has…” Granny Suxi’s words were cut short as she saw a black light envelop Mo Jiuli and Little Black Flame tightly.
Moreover, the black light directly penetrated the Illusion Realm and rushed out…
Outside, the Mo Family Ancestor, Lin Yue, and Xue Feng were still wondering who had advanced when they suddenly saw the black light burst forth.
Everyone was shocked…
Xue Feng was the first to regain his composure.
He immediately leaped into the air, casting a huge Barrier to envelop the black light.
Fortunately, this black light seemed to have some sort of spirit; upon touching Xue Feng’s Barrier, it disappeared instantly…
Despite this, the dark and imposing black light lingered within Xue Feng’s Barrier for a long time before eventually dissipating.
Meanwhile, the mysterious pressure forced a trace of blood to appear at the corner of Xue Feng’s mouth…
The Four Mo Family Elders were not faring well either, each one of them ending up seated on the ground.
Mo Chenluo and Lin Yue were directly affected by the pressure and passed out…
It wasn’t until the black light had dissipated that Xue Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, retracted the outer Barrier, and quickly took out several pills refined by Mo Jiuli for him to consume.
The sudden appearance of the black light had forced him to use his life Barrier, blocking the black light from being discovered by the outside world, otherwise the General’s Mansion would have been in trouble…
Forcibly using his life Barrier, had cost him greatly, and he might soon fall into a deep sleep.
He hoped that he could hold on until Jiuli came out, otherwise he would not be able to rest easy…
Glancing at the several Mo Family Elders who had been injured by the black pressure, Xue Feng threw them another bottle of pills and said, “Hurry up and recover.
Protect Jiuli!”
After saying this, he closed his eyes and began meditating…
The four Mo Family Elders saw that Xue Feng had been injured earlier and, being wise, they understood the reason for his actions.
Without further ado, they immediately took the pills Xue Feng had thrown to them and swallowed them.
The four looked at each other, marvelling at the miraculous effects of Xue Feng’s pills while also feeling somewhat sentimental.
The world had truly changed.
They had long forgotten how many years it had been since they had been injured, and they had forgotten what pain felt like!
However, it wasn’t until today that they realized that cultivation truly had no end…
