Chapter 68: Qi Rejuvenation Pill (1)

Time slowly passed by as Yang Wei managed to control the flame temperature perfectly as he prepared to merge the essence together.

Sweats started trickling down Yang Wei’s forehead due to nervousness as he increased the flame temperature and the essence inside the cauldron started to mesh together.

The cauldron begins shaking from the concentration in the essence as it is being forcefully merged.

Right when Yang Wei thought he managed to concoct the Qi Rejuvenation pill on his first try, a loud explosion occurred inside the cauldron.

BOOOM!

Black smoke started appearing and Yang Wei’s face got the full impact as his face was now covered in black.

Yang Wei coughed multiple times since he inhaled the black smoke accidentally and when he turned around to glance at Elder Jing.

Elder Jing couldn’t keep it in anymore as she burst out laughing from the hilarious face of Yang Wei. Lian Xinyue was no exception either as she laughed with Elder Jing.

During the merging process, both of them already knew Yang Wei would fail because he was too nervous and failed to control the flame temperature around the end.

Not to mention, he started the merging process too quickly, causing the explosion to occur as the essence was unable to form a spherical pill.

“Hahaha, Yang Wei, did you not remember the steps I took when doing the merging process? The merging process needs gentle care to form a pill but you are rushing it, causing the spiritual qi in the essence to burst open and explode.” Elder Jing laughed as she pointed out his mistake.

Meanwhile, Yang Wei smiled bitterly as he retrieved a cloth to wipe his face.

Yang Wei rubs the cloth around his face, hoping to get rid of the black smoke around his face but instead, he makes it worse.

“Pfft,” Lian Xinyue started laughing again after seeing Yang Wei’s struggle for the first time.

His first impression when rescuing her life from Xian Min had completely vanished and replaced it… is the current smoke-covered Yang Wei.

“You’re really heartless Lian Xinyue. I failed miserably and you are here laughing without holding anything back.” Yang Wei exclaimed as he retrieved a water bottle from his spatial ring to clean his face.

“I-I’m sorry Yang Wei but I can’t help it.” Lian Xinyue said while laughing as she held her stomach.

“You can’t blame her, Yang Wei. After all, you always had this cool and aloof personality but now that you failed in this funny way, it’s hard for people to not laugh it off.” Elder Jing added, disregarding the pouting face of Yang Wei.

“Fine, laugh all you want, I still have two attempts left.” Yang Wei finished cleaning his face as he started prepping again.

Now that he realized his mistake, he would start adjusting himself and recall the process again.

‘I was able to extract the herb perfectly in my first attempt but the merging process failed because I got too arrogant and rushed things. I need to remain calm and control my flame temperature to prevent another explosion.’ Yang Wei said inwardly as he began heating up the cauldron once he placed all the herbs in order.

Since it was the same process, Yang Wei was able to quickly extract the impurities of the herbs. Extracting herbs isn’t a difficult step once you managed to grasp the correct temperature and soon, Yang Wei was on the last step again.

Elder Jing and Lian Xinyue also spectate solemnly without making any noise to distract him.

Yang Wei remained calm and controlled his flame temperature at a steady pace as the essence slowly began to merge together. Unlike the first time where the essence was shaking rapidly, almost like it was unmergeable, the essence was in harmony as they came together.

The essence soon began forming into a spherical shape and Yang Wei brightened up.

BOOOM!

Another loud explosion occurred with the same black smoke scattering the air and Yang Wei’s face was once again like a woman failing in their makeup.

“Cough, what happened this time? The essence was forming into a spherical shape yet the explosion still occurred and now even the cauldron is destroyed.” Yang Wei said and glanced at the cauldron in pieces.

Seeing the broken pieces of the cauldron, Yang Wei felt some heartache as he was the cause of this.

“I’m sorry Elder Jing for breaking your cauldron.” Yang Wei turned around and lowered his head as he apologized to Elder Jing.

Elder Jing smiled briefly as she walked forward and patted his shoulder. “You don’t have to be depressed about breaking this cauldron since this is just a normal one and not anything special. For beginners that are learning alchemy, they will always break a lot of cauldrons in the process before they grasp the timing.”

Afterward, Elder Jing slowly retrieved another similar cauldron from her spatial ring and placed it in the ground.

“This cauldron is more like a practice cauldron as they have no function at all when compared to others.” Elder Jing said.

Yang Wei held a dumbfounded expression. “Practice cauldron? There are rankings in a cauldron as well?”

Yang Wei asked in confusion since he didn’t know there were different types of cauldron. He thought all cauldrons were the same except for the pills being concocted by an alchemist.

Elder Jing smacked Yang Wei’s head lightly. “Why wouldn’t there be a ranking for cauldron as well? Did you forget the cauldron I used in my courtyard?”

Yang Wei nodded his head as he remembered the cauldron in Elder Jing’s courtyard was emerald looking with a profound aura around it while the cauldron he broke was normal without any special aura in it.

“What ranking is the cauldron that Elder Jing used?” Yang Wei asked softly, hoping to learn more about alchemy-related stuff.

However, Elder Jing smacked his head again and said, “You will learn about the cauldron in due time. For now, your task is to concoct a Qi Rejuvenation pill and you only have one attempt left.”
