I want to go back to my original world and live an ordinary life.

"Oh!" Zi Yang nodded slightly after hearing Qiu Yan's words, and then said lightly, "The medicinal properties of the pill you refined are not as good as the previous one, so this pill is basically a waste. But this is already very good for your first time refining a pill. Keep working hard, try a few more times with spiritual power of different attributes and different spiritual powers, and then only fuse ten pills each time. After trying a few more times, maybe you can refine a good pill."

Zi Yang's tone was very calm, and she did not have any opinion on Qiu Yan's alchemy this time, because as the first time, such a result was normal and within her expectations, so she did not feel anything. But Qiu Yan was different. When he heard Zi Yang say that the elixir he fused with a handful of pills was not as effective as the original one, Qiu Yan was really hit hard. She was originally in high spirits, but now she became dejected again. She lowered her head and said "oh" softly, then turned around and went out, ready to try a few more times according to what Zi Yang said just now. At this time, Zi Yang looked at Qiu Yan's back and continued, "If you need wood for alchemy, you can go to the kitchen and ask for it in my name. Don't cut down the tree next to my yard on your own initiative. Do you know how precious the tree you cut down is?"

Hearing Zi Yang's words, Qiu Yan turned around and shook his head stupidly, then said, "I don't know, I thought the tree was quite ordinary, so I cut it down."

Seeing Qiu Yan's ignorant expression, Zi Yang shook his head helplessly, then smiled and said to Qiu Yan, "That tree is called Beauty Fragrance. It is a ten thousand year old tree. It blooms every summer after it grows up. The flowers have a special fragrance, which has a calming effect on the mind and is long-lasting. You can pick its petals for bathing, fumigating clothes, or making rouge and powder. In short, it has many uses for women. There are only five Beauty Fragrance trees like this one that are more than ten thousand years old in the entire Holy Spirit Kingdom. Four of them are in the palace, and one was transplanted here by me. I didn't expect that you would burn it as firewood." At this point, Zi Yang seemed to find it a little ridiculous and couldn't help but chuckle, but her laughter was still very flat, without any intention of blaming Qiu Yan.

“There are only five of these trees in the country!” Qiu Yan actually didn’t think there was anything special about this tree when he heard what Zi Yang said before. After all, he was a man, not a woman. But when he heard that there were only five such trees in the country, he was dumbfounded. He never thought that he would chop down a national treasure tree with just a chop! And this is not the point. The point is that there are only five such trees in the country, four of which are in the imperial palace, and this one was also transplanted by Zi Yang, which means that this tree should have originally belonged to the imperial palace! The tree belonging to the imperial palace was cut down by himself. If the palace knew about it, he would be dragged into the palace to be a eunuch! Thinking of this, Qiu Yan panicked. He quickly explained to Zi Yang, “Instructor Zi Yang, I didn’t mean to cut down this tree. I didn’t know at the time that this tree was so precious. If I knew, I would definitely not cut it down! I…”

Qiu Yan seemed a little flustered at this time, and didn't know what to say. Seeing Qiu Yan like this, Zi Yang smiled and said to Qiu Yan, "Don't be nervous. It doesn't matter even if you cut it down on purpose. Anyway, this tree is mine. No one will dare to hold you responsible unless I hold you responsible. And it's better to cut it down. If you don't cut it down, there will always be many people coming to buy petals from me every year when the flowers bloom. Although I have already announced to the public that I will not sell a single petal to the public, there are still many people who come to me for this matter every year, disturbing my reading time. So if the tree is cut down now, no one will come to me, and I can be quiet."

Zi Yang's tone was still the same as before, very calm, as if she really didn't care that Qiu Yan cut off her beauty incense, which made Qiu Yan feel relieved and the tension on her face was also reduced a lot. At this time, Zi Yang continued to speak, "Okay, if you have nothing else to do, go and make the elixir! Don't waste the flame of the beauty incense."

After hearing what Zi Yang said, Qiu Yan wanted to say something but didn't say it. He nodded and went out to make pills again. According to what Zi Yang said just now, Qiu Yan used ten pills to refine this time, and adjusted the input of spiritual power, but the pills refined this time were still unsatisfactory, so Qiu Yan tried the spiritual power of light attribute again, and the result was still the same, and it could not reach the medicinal properties of the original one pill. So Qiu Yan made several adjustments to the input of spiritual power to refine, although it was better than before, but the medicinal effect still reached the medicinal effect that ten pills should have, and even less than half, that is to say, Qiu Yan lost more than 50% of the medicinal power in the process of refining, and Qiu Yan is not a serious pill refiner now, Qiu Yan is just fusing pills, and fusing pills can lose more than 50% of the medicinal power, so if he directly uses spiritual medicine to refine, Qiu Yan estimates that he can't even retain 10% of the medicinal effect.

I don't know how many furnaces I have refined. As the sky gradually darkened, Qiu Yan had almost burned the Beauty Fragrance, which was enough for Qiu Yan to refine for the last furnace. At this time, Qiu Yan seemed to feel some pressure. After refining for an entire afternoon, he didn't even get a good pill. This made Qiu Yan feel a little sorry for the Beauty Fragrance and Zi Yang's tolerance towards him, so Qiu Yan felt that he must make a good pill in this last furnace! So, thinking of this, Qiu Yan took out ten more elixirs and threw them into the furnace, and then carefully observed the state of the elixir in the furnace. After seeing the elixir being refined into liquid, Qiu Yan was ready to release his spiritual power to fuse it directly, but Qiu Yan hesitated as soon as he raised his hand, because he had done this before, but he didn't refine a furnace of good elixir. If he did this again this time, the result would definitely not change. Qiu Yan used the two attributes of water and light to refine elixir before, and had never tried to refine it with the spirit of life and the spirit of destruction. Because it is necessary to input spiritual power into the furnace when refining elixir, Qiu Yan was afraid that his two spiritual powers would be exposed, so he didn't use them. But now this furnace is related to Qiu Yan's results today. Qiu Yan only wants to succeed and not fail! So Qiu Yan decided to use the Spirit of Life and the Spirit of Destruction to fuse this last furnace. No matter what the final result is, Qiu Yan feels that he must try it. Thinking of this, Qiu Yan observed the surroundings. After finding that there was no one around, Qiu Yan directly input the two spiritual powers of the Spirit of Life and the Spirit of Destruction into the furnace. The reason why Qiu Yan inputs these two spiritual powers into this furnace at the same time is because this is Qiu Yan's last furnace today, and Qiu Yan also holds the characteristic that the Spirit of Destruction can enhance the Spirit of Life, so he releases the two spiritual powers at the same time.

As soon as the two spiritual powers were input into the furnace, the liquid pill in the furnace quickly merged. The speed was much faster than using light attribute spiritual power and water attribute spiritual power. In just a few breaths, the liquid pill was turned into a normal pill. As the pill was formed, a faint fragrance of pill floated out of the furnace. Qiu Yan was very excited when he smelled the fragrance of the pill. He immediately stopped releasing spiritual power, and then took out the pill and checked it excitedly. Qiu Yan found that the pill he refined this time was different from the previous ones. First of all, this pill was a circle smaller than the previous one, only slightly larger than a soybean, and the surface was abnormally smooth, as smooth as a small iron ball and shiny. In addition to these, this pill also has a special pill fragrance, just like a freshly steamed cake, the fragrance is not strong but there is.

Seeing this pill, Qiu Yan felt that he should have succeeded this time. Even if he failed, at least he had improved a lot compared to before. So Qiu Yan took the pill into the house and asked Zi Yang to identify it. Zi Yang saw Qiu Yan coming in, smiled, and then said, "What do you think of your pill this time?"

Qiu Yan had asked Zi Yang to identify the pills many times, but none of them were good. Zi Yang did not find Qiu Yan annoying. No matter how the pills Qiu Yan brought were, Zi Yang would not say anything to Qiu Yan, but just asked him to keep trying. Because of many failures, Qiu Yan felt that the pills were good, but there was no excitement on his face. Instead, he handed the pills to Zi Yang very carefully and said, "I think it's not bad this time. Please take a look, Instructor Zi Yang."

Zi Yang took the pill from Qiu Yan and took a rough look at it. This time, she did not put the pill close to her nose to smell it, because the fragrance of the pill was easy to smell. The fragrance of the pill is the basic condition for judging the quality of a pill, and it is also the most direct condition. As long as you can smell the fragrance of the pill, you can directly determine that the pill is a good pill without even looking at it. The stronger the fragrance, the higher the grade of the pill. Therefore, the grade of Qiu Yan's pill this time is very high, because the fragrance of this pill can be smelled within one meter, which is considered a top-grade pill.

Knowing the grade of the pill, Zi Yang returned the pill to Qiu Yan, and then said, "This pill retains all the medicinal power of the ten original pills, with almost no loss, and the fragrance of this pill is rich, it can be called a top-grade pill."

Hearing Zi Yang say that this pill is a top-grade pill, Qiu Yan's suppressed excitement and joy suddenly appeared. He looked at the top-grade pill in his hand, as if he saw his own hope. Zi Yang saw Qiu Yan's happy face, and she was also happy for Qiu Yan, but besides being happy, she was curious about how Qiu Yan made this pill, so she looked at Qiu Yan and asked, "The grade of this pill is too high. Even the pill masters in the academy may not be able to make such a pill. You are just a student who has just come into contact with pills. You can make this kind of pill. You must have used means or methods that others don't know, or spiritual power. Can you tell me?"
