I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

"Anyway, it's all the same for beginners," Tang Doudou said with a smile.

After reading it, Tang Doudou decided to give it a try, starting with the most basic blood-clotting powder, which can help wounds heal quickly.

Tang Doudou retrieved the pill formula and then went to the spirit herb shop to purchase one hundred copies of each, spending one thousand spirit stones.

Then I went to the Artifact Pavilion and bought ten alchemy furnaces, which cost me a total of five hundred spirit stones.

"Are you doing wholesale?" the system asked with a smile.

"They say they're prone to exploding in the oven, so I'll buy more and let them explode all they want!"

This hasn't even started alchemy yet, and it's already cost 1,500 spirit stones! This isn't alchemy, it's a gold-devouring beast!

Once Tang Doudou was ready, she decided to find a safe place to refine pills.

The safest place is the forbidden area.

"Open up, this array that isolates you from the world! I, as your master, command you to kneel down and welcome your master!" Tang Doudou finished chanting the incantation and instantly appeared within the array.

Compared to the bare landscape last time, this time there are quite a few green trees, and the green lawn is dotted with many wildflowers, making it look extremely beautiful.

"Right here!" Tang Doudou said, taking out the alchemy furnace from the system and then exchanging it for a protective suit. After putting on the protective suit, she looked like a chubby white radish.

"You look like you're fully armed; you don't look like someone who refines pills," the system said with a smile.

"This is safer," Tang Doudou said, but with the baby blue phoenix on her head, she couldn't wear the helmet no matter what.

"Little dumpling, how about we make a deal? You come out first, and I'll finish refining the pills before you go back, okay?"

"Cheers! Cheers!"

This is a voice of rejection.

"Since you're unwilling, then I won't care anymore." Tang Doudou said, wearing only a mask, and sat down next to the alchemy furnace, taking out a portion of spiritual herbs and placing them beside her.

He then concentrated his spiritual energy in his hand, and a wisp of flame appeared on it.

Tang Doudou placed the flame under the alchemy furnace and slowly began to heat it. When the time was almost up, Tang Doudou put the first spiritual herb into the furnace.

After placing the herbs into the alchemy furnace, one needs to concentrate on extracting their essence. Tang Doudou tried and struggled to extract the essence, but by then the furnace was already very hot, and the essence evaporated instantly.

Tang Doudou sensed something was wrong and retreated repeatedly.

With a loud "bang," fragments of the alchemy furnace flew everywhere. Tang Doudou felt several pieces flying towards her and quickly used her spiritual power to defend herself.

Fortunately, they were all blocked.

But why does it smell like burning hair?

Tang Doudou touched it and realized something was wrong; a spark had landed on her hair sometime during the night.

Tang Doudou quickly took out a bucket of water from the system and poured it all over her head.

Before long, the little dumpling, wet and curled up, slipped off her head. Tang Doudou caught it with quick eyes and hands.

"I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and forgot about you." Tang Doudou quickly apologized and used her spiritual power to warm it up.

They then built a small shelter out of a towel and placed it far away, for fear of being hit by another explosion.

When Tang Doudou got closer, she saw that all the herbs she had placed outside were ruined.

"I was so focused on extracting the essence of the herbs that I forgot to control the fire. Multitasking is like flying on a sword; you'll get the hang of it with practice," Tang Doudou muttered to herself. Then she sat back down by the furnace, put on her helmet, and continued refining pills.

The second time, they successfully moved on to the third step, but the furnace exploded again while extracting the Seven Wounds Grass.

Tang Doudou was undeterred and continued practicing.

"Oh!"

"boom!"

"Crack!"

Hearing the explosions, the young blue phoenix nearby trembled with fright. Then, with a start, it jumped out of its towel nest and darted into the nearby grass.

The eight alchemy furnaces were ruined, and the protective suit she was wearing was as fragile as a piece of paper. Tang Doudou took off the protective suit and then sat on the fragments to review everything.

After reviewing the process, Tang Doudou felt more confident and knew where her problems lay, so she took the product out again and continued refining it.

This time, she didn't wear a protective suit; in fact, wearing one significantly reduced her sensory perception.

Tang Doudou sat in front of the alchemy furnace, reviewed the process in her mind again, and then continued refining.

Finally, the final step has arrived: the elixir is complete!

Tang Doudou concentrated intently, trying to condense the pill into a round shape, but no matter how hard she tried, it eventually condensed into the shape of a sea urchin.

Sea urchin it is, after all, this is the first pill I made myself, it's quite memorable.

"System, I succeeded!" Tang Doudou shouted happily.

"Not bad, a poison pill has been successfully refined! Although it doesn't look very good..."

"It's a blood-clotting powder, not a poison pill!" Tang Doudou had barely finished speaking when she saw Xiao Lü leap into the air, swallow the pill, and then look at Tang Doudou.

Tang Doudou was on the verge of tears. It turned out that after all that effort, she had successfully used the formula for the blood-clotting powder to create a poison pill!

It's like when you first start cooking, you follow the video step by step, but end up making a plate of dark, unidentified stuff!

Tang Doudou tossed Xiao Lü a poison pill, and Xiao Lü reluctantly went to sleep.

Where exactly did we go wrong?
