That day, while practicing sword moves, Pei Nianyi was absent-minded and she would steal a glance at Xie Changan from time to time.

The girl's scorching gaze made it impossible for Xie Changan to pretend he hadn't noticed. Helplessly, Xie Changan put down the book in his hand and asked, "Just say whatever you want to say. There's no need to hide it."

Pei Nian rushed forward, tugged at his sleeve, and said rhythmically, "Xie Shishu, you are my eternal god, you must help me!"

Xie Changan nodded to indicate that he had heard: "How can I help you?"

The wind blew, and the girl's hair and Xie Changan's hair were blown together, their hair entangled together, and the atmosphere between the two became ambiguous.

Only then did Pei Nianyi realize that the distance between them was a little too close.

She took a step back, putting some distance between herself and Xie Changan. She pursed her lips and spoke after a long pause, "Uncle Xie, I need a special sword."

"Oh? A special sword? What does it look like?" When Xie Changan heard the word sword, he immediately became interested, and his peach blossom eyes shone brightly.

"It's like this..." Pei Nianyi described the appearance of a Western sword.

"Is there another sword like this? Does it have a name?"

"This style of sword is collectively called a Western sword."

"Western sword, quite interesting." Xie Changan was very interested. He pulled Pei Nianyi and asked him about various details. When Pei Nianyi couldn't answer, he took out a jade slip from the storage realm and said, "Use your spiritual sense to record the sword you mentioned in the jade slip."

Pei Nianyi did as he was told and released his spiritual sense to attach to the jade slip, thinking of the Western sword in Charlotte's hand.

As the details of the Western sword in his mind gradually became complete, his spiritual consciousness also recorded them on the jade slip.

After an incense stick of time, Xie Changan got the pattern of the Western sword and he couldn't wait to return to the refining room in Tianquan Peak.

Before leaving, he said, "When you fight me, and your sword doesn't fall, I will forge you the Western sword you mentioned."

"Oh..." Pei Nianyi had no time to speak before she could just stare at Xie Changan's back which was getting farther and farther away. She silently withdrew her hand that she had stretched out to keep him.

Today's training isn't over yet! Okay, I'll have to rely on myself today.

Pei Nian sighed, it’s not easy to become stronger!

A month later, Pei Nianyi was finally able to hold the sword without being knocked away by Xie Changan. She also welcomed the end of the alchemy course at the Wendao Hall on Yuheng Peak. There would be an assessment at the end of the course.

The assessment is to refine a pill.

Today, all the disciples attending classes at Yuheng Peak were brought to the alchemy room, where hundreds of alchemy furnaces were already placed. The ancient furnace bodies looked even more solemn in the morning light.

By the time Pei Nian arrived, many of the furnaces had already been occupied.

At this time, a voice called her, "Xiaoyi, here, come here."

Behind the furnace in a corner of the alchemy room, Su Huaining was waving at her enthusiastically.

"I've reserved a seat for you." Su Huaining pointed to the alchemy furnace next to him with a happy expression. Behind the furnace was a small wooden sword, which was obviously used by Su Huaining to reserve a seat.

Pei Nianyi: "..."

Is this because you have someone on the peak to help you get things done? 6!

Soon, Lord Baicao and the elders of Yuheng Peak appeared together, including Master Lingyi.

"If each disciple can successfully refine a pill, they will pass the assessment."

After announcing the content of the assessment with an expressionless face, Master Lingyi stood aside with his hands folded, without saying a word.

The medicinal materials for the test need to be prepared by oneself. Most disciples will choose simple and easy-to-make pills such as the Bigu Pill.

Pei Nianyi made the same choice as other disciples and also refined the Qigong Pill.

This was Pei Nianyi's first time making elixirs. She first processed the medicinal materials according to the method taught by Lingyi Zhenren.

Processing medicinal materials means using spiritual power to remove impurities from the medicinal materials, retaining only their essence, and then combining them with other medicinal materials to refine them into elixirs.

When Pei Nianyi started to process the herbs herself, she realized how terrifying Lingyi Zhenren's control over spiritual energy was. She could easily process hundreds of herbs at the same time.

Now Pei Nianyi can only control the spiritual energy and carefully process a kind of medicinal material.

A few days ago, thanks to Xie Changan's special training, Pei Nianyi learned to control and use a single spiritual energy, and he is already much stronger than ordinary disciples.

However, processing medicinal materials requires a higher level of control over spiritual energy. The released spiritual energy cannot be too large, otherwise the essence of the medicinal materials will be removed. The spiritual energy cannot be too small, otherwise the impurities in the medicinal materials cannot be removed.

In short, the use of spiritual power must be just right, otherwise the elixir will fail.

Several elders stood in front without showing any expression. They seemed quiet, but they were actually discussing frantically in secret.

"This Su Huaining is very experienced in handling medicinal herbs. He doesn't look like a new disciple."

"Su Huaining is indeed very talented."

"The master's last disciple, Pei Nianyi, has excellent control over his spiritual energy."

As time passed, all the medicinal materials placed in front of Pei Nianyi had been processed one by one, and a fragrant smell of medicine wafted out of the furnace.

It’s the final critical moment, all the essences must be integrated, success or failure depends on this.

Pei Nian calmed his mind and controlled his spiritual power to slowly bring the scattered liquids in the furnace closer together to merge them.

. . . . . .

The alchemy furnace is opened.

The aroma of medicine hits you in the face, giving you a shock.

Pei Nianyi lowered his head, stared at the alchemy furnace with wide eyes, and did not take any action.

Su Huaining had already taken out the elixir and put it into the jade bottle.

He saw Pei Nianyi, who seemed to be looking down at the alchemy furnace without making any move, and came over to ask, "Xiaoyi, have you refined the elixir? Why don't you take it out?"

As he spoke, he looked into Pei Nianyi's alchemy furnace.

"..."

There was no round pill in the furnace, it seemed that it could only be described as a pool of liquid.

Pei Nianyi was a little puzzled. She didn't know why, but what she refined was a pool of glowing black and purple liquid.

But since this is how it turned out, I can only accept it this way.

Pei Nianyi took out a bowl and poured the glowing liquid in the furnace into the bowl.

When the last disciple finished refining, all the pills were presented to the elders for evaluation.

The elders looked at them one by one, either shaking their heads or nodding.

"This fasting pill refined by Su Huaining is good. It's passed."

"Is this something Li Jia refined? The finished pill looks too ugly, but it still has medicinal properties, so I'll give it a pass."

"Zhao Yi's medicinal properties are completely gone, and he failed the test."

Until the last bowl was served.

The elders looked at the glowing liquid and were all speechless for a moment.

"Well, who made this...?" An elder hesitated to speak, not knowing how to describe this bowl of glowing liquid.

Baicao Zhenjun laughed at the side: "This girl is quite interesting!"

She calmly extended her index finger, tentatively dipped a little of the liquid and put it into her mouth.
