The widow becomes a fairy, and the time-traveling girl counterattacks and becomes the queen

At this moment, Wang Xinyao suddenly felt a slight swelling and pain in her meridians.

She knew in her heart that this was a sign that her cultivation was about to make a breakthrough. So, after taking another Spirit Gathering Pill, she became even more focused, and used all her strength to guide the spiritual energy flowing into her body and circulate it through her meridians.

Finally, after a long period of hard work, the bottleneck that had been hindering her cultivation progress began to loosen.

Wang Xinyao was delighted and quickly struck while the iron was hot, continuing to increase the input of spiritual power.

There was a crisp "click" sound, and the bottleneck was broken. Her whole aura suddenly changed, and a powerful aura swept in all directions with her as the center.

Feeling the surging spiritual power in her body and her ever-increasing strength, Wang Xinyao was extremely excited!

"Haha, I didn't expect the effect of this Spirit Gathering Pill to be so good! I actually broke through to the Grandmaster level so easily!" Wang Xinyao was so excited that she could hardly contain herself and couldn't help laughing.

The laughter echoed around the space, as if to convey this joy to the entire small world.

After laughing, Wang Xinyao calmed down and began to think about the next plan.

Since the Soul Gathering Pill could bring such a huge improvement, it was natural to continue refining more. Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and prepared to start refining the pill.

First, let's start with the Soul Gathering Pill. After all, I've just personally experienced its miraculous effects, so I'm sure I'll have a deeper understanding of its medicinal properties and the refining process. This way, the chances of success might be higher.

She looked down at the four pill recipes in her hand, and a surge of anticipation welled up in her heart. These four Spirit Gathering Pill recipes corresponded to the first, second, third, and fourth grades respectively. The first to third grade recipes were looted from Taoist Li.

It was at this moment that Wang Xinyao suddenly realized something important: the recipe she had received as a reward from the man in black was actually a fourth-grade Spirit Gathering Pill! No wonder her previous attempts to refine it always ended in failure.

Now that I think about it, those failures were not just due to improper temperature control, but also had a lot to do with my alchemy level at that time.

After all, I wasn't even a first-grade alchemist at that time, so how could I master such an advanced alchemy recipe?

"It seems that there is indeed a reason for failure... But it doesn't matter. Every failure makes you wiser. No matter what I do in the future, I must be down-to-earth and move forward step by step!" Wang Xinyao secretly made up her mind, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

Wang Xinyao took a deep breath and looked firmly at the neatly arranged medicinal materials and alchemy furnace in front of her. She secretly made up her mind to refine a first-grade spirit-gathering pill first.

She picked up the first-grade pill recipe and read it word by word, not missing any details.

After careful consideration, Wang Xinyao confirmed that she had fully understood every step in the recipe and the key points that needed to be paid attention to.

So, she began to methodically take out various rare medicinal herbs one by one and carefully put them into the alchemy furnace.

After everything was ready, Wang Xinyao waved her hands lightly, and a ball of blazing fire rose from her palms, instantly igniting the fire mouth under the alchemy furnace.

Wang Xinyao then concentrated on following the instructions and procedures in the recipe. However, her first attempt ended in failure, and the resulting pill turned to ashes before it even took shape.

But this did not dampen Wang Xinyao's confidence at all. She quickly cheered herself up, readjusted her state, and devoted herself to alchemy again.

the second time……

the third time......

Although I am always full of expectations, the results are still not satisfactory.

It was not until the fourth attempt that a defective pill with an irregular shape and dull color was finally produced.

Faced with such results, Wang Xinyao was not discouraged. Instead, it further aroused the fighting spirit of not giving up deep in her heart.

Time slipped by quietly, and the alchemy room was filled with the rich aroma of medicinal herbs. Beads of sweat rolled down Wang Xinyao's forehead, but her hands never stopped moving.

Finally, after countless failures and setbacks, a slight sound came from the alchemy furnace.

Wang Xinyao's heart was shocked, and she looked carefully. She saw five round, plump, crystal clear pills lying quietly at the bottom of the furnace, emitting bursts of tempting aroma.

At this moment, Wang Xinyao's originally tense face instantly broke into an ecstatic smile.

She succeeded! After countless hardships, she finally refined a top-quality, first-grade Spirit Gathering Pill, officially joining the ranks of first-grade alchemists!

Wang Xinyao looked at the first-grade Spirit Gathering Pills in her hand, a flicker of excitement in her eyes. She carefully put them into the bottle.

Wang Xinyao originally wanted to refine some more beauty pills, but when she thought about going to the salt field in Nanhu County tomorrow to deal with labor matters, and that she had also made some beauty sets during this period, which would be enough to sell for some time, she came out of the space and went to sleep!

The next morning, Wang Xinyao woke up early. After washing up, Ouyang Ping also woke up. After a simple breakfast, the two of them drove their carriage like a gust of wind directly to Nanhu County.

Wang Xinyao originally planned to leave Ouyang Ping in the county government office and then go to the salt field alone, but Ouyang Ping insisted on going with her. In desperation, they had to go straight to the salt field together!

At this moment, the salt field was like an ocean flooded by people, densely packed with people.

When the crowd saw Wang Xinyao and Ouyang Ping coming, they automatically made way for a wide path.

Wang Xinyao and Ouyang Ping walked straight to the center of the salt field, where several officials were already giving orders.

"Miss Wang, you're here." Luo Qing also saw Wang Xinyao at this time and hurried to greet her. However, when he saw Ouyang Ping, his eyes turned unhappy: "Why are you here too!"

"Hello, Lord Luo." Wang Xinyao nodded and bowed.

Seeing Luo Qing's expression change so quickly towards her, Ouyang Ping was very unhappy: "Humph, I didn't come here with you!"

Luo Qing ignored her, after all, he didn't have time to match.

He then began to explain the situation at the saltworks: "Miss Wang, I've already sorted the beggars according to their abilities and arranged them properly. Next up is the matter of recruiting managers. There are currently ten applicants, and we've shortlisted three. The final decision on who to hire is up to you!"

"Okay, I'll go and take a look later!" Wang Xinyao said!

"By the way, the imperial court has sent two officials. Let me introduce them to you!" Luo Qing said, and then he bowed to the two handsome officials who were talking and said, "My Lords Yang, this is Miss Wang Xinyao from Xiejia Village!"
