Proving one's path through killing—this kind of merit is poisonous!

Chapter 29 Useless Pill
As if seeing through Gu Jinhe's thoughts, Xu Lingyu said helplessly, "The fire used in this alchemy furnace is different from the fire in a mortal stove."

But she didn't say much, after all, she didn't have the habit of being a know-it-all, she just looked Gu Jinhe up and down.

Perhaps because the original owner suffered from hunger since childhood, she now looks much thinner and weaker than her peers.

Looking at that frail body, those expectant eyes...

The words he wanted her to leave were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them.

She originally wanted to try refining pills by controlling the fire herself, but she had exploded the furnace more than ten times and had not succeeded even once.

Xu Lingyu sighed.

It seems that to achieve the legendary ability to independently refine elixirs, one still needs to continue practicing diligently.

Thinking about it this way, she also had an answer as to where Gu Jinhe had gone—

Before I master the skill, it's good to have this little fire-starting girl by my side, just to make me laugh and have some fun.

So she said, "Go and clean up those destroyed alchemy furnaces first!"

Hearing this, Gu Jinhe breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Senior Sister Xu is willing to let her stay.

In fact, when leaving the miscellaneous affairs hall, Zhou Yue pulled her aside and gave her a lot of instructions about the alchemy room.

For example, Senior Sister Xu Lingyu was originally an inner disciple. Two years ago, in order to study alchemy, she went to Qingkou Peak and established an alchemy room.

Some say she did it to avoid a fellow disciple, while others say she simply wanted to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qingkou Peak.

But whatever the truth is, it's not something these menial disciples should care about.

However, ever since Xu Lingyu came to the alchemy room, Elder Chen has specifically instructed that no one should disturb her, which is why the East Gate is quieter than other places.

Gu Jinhe was cleaning up the fragments of the alchemy furnace on the ground when, while picking up one of the fragments, she noticed a round, black object underneath.

She picked it up and examined it closely.

This is……

Waste pill?

[Detected Restoration Pill (waste) - Generating pill formula...]

[Generated, please check, host]

Before she could even react, the system had already deciphered the pill formula in just two breaths.

This forced Gu Jinhe to once again rethink his understanding of the system's capabilities.

Moreover, this is only a level two system; if it continues to upgrade...

For a moment, a sense of anticipation rose in Gu Jinhe's heart!
However, she did not immediately check the generated elixir formula, but continued to collect the fragments.

This time, however, she diverted some of her attention to finding other discarded pills.

Look at the number of fragments in this alchemy furnace...

Gu Jinhe's lips twitched, thinking: Could it be that Senior Sister Xu just blew up three alchemy furnaces?

But before she could think any further, her attention was drawn to a discarded pill. Just as she was about to reach out and pick it up, a pair of feet wearing blue shoes suddenly appeared in front of her.

She looked up from the shoes and her eyes met Xu Lingyu's.

"Junior sister, what are you doing?" Xu Lingyu raised an eyebrow, looking down at her while munching on a spiritual fruit, and asked with great interest.

Gu Jinhe calmly replied, "I'm cleaning up the broken pieces on the ground. Isn't this the task you gave me, Senior Sister?"

"Really? I thought you were interested in those useless pills I refined."

Gu Jinhe remained silent, but in front of Xu Lingyu, she reached out and placed the waste pill on the fragments of the alchemy furnace, then threw them away together.

Seeing her action, Xu Lingyu finally felt relieved.

Although these pills failed to be refined, they were not entirely without value.

Previously, some disciples from the outer sect had taken on tasks here, but they took advantage of her inattention to steal and hide the waste pills, and then sold them at a low price to other disciples in the miscellaneous affairs hall.

For this, she was scolded by her own master, and the servant disciple was also expelled from the sect.

Fortunately, the new girl isn't that kind of person...

　It's so late after get off work, I'm so sleepy! Luckily I have tomorrow off! I'll try to update more tomorrow, keep it up!!
