Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!

Noticing Xiao Yimo's gaze, Tang Xinyan touched her forehead in confusion and asked curiously:

"Master, what happened to my forehead?"

Xiao Yimo conjured an ice mirror with his magic. Looking at the purple-gold pattern on her forehead reflected in the mirror, which resembled a lotus flower ornament, Tang Xinyan was astonished.

"Master, what is this?"

Xiao Yimo was also unsure, and guessed, "Perhaps it's a mark left by the fire spirit you contracted?"

Tang Xinyan asked in confusion, "Then why is it a lotus flower?"

Xiao Yimo shook his head slightly and suggested:

"You can try communicating with your fire spirit; perhaps it will understand."

Tang Xinyan nodded:

"Okay, I'll ask it again after it wakes up."

Xiao Yimo understood: "You knocked out the contract?"

Realizing that Xiao Yimo had misunderstood, Tang Xinyan quickly explained the contract process in detail, which surprised Xiao Yimo slightly.

"You mean, it's in your mind's eye?"

Tang Xinyan was puzzled, but still answered honestly:

"Yes, Master, is something wrong?"

Xiao Yimo frowned slightly and confirmed:

"Are you feeling uncomfortable at all?"

Seeing Tang Xinyan shake her head, Xiao Yimo pondered for a moment before saying:

"Normally, strange flames reside within a cultivator's dantian. Perhaps this Purple Thunder Flame is special; most likely, your mark is this flame."

That's good. If any evil spirits try to possess you or attack your consciousness in the future, this flame can help you resist them to some extent.

Tang Xinyan couldn't help but touch her forehead again, thinking to herself that she had contracted the Purple Thunder Flame, not the Red Lotus Flame. Even if there was a mark, shouldn't it be a lightning bolt?

However, the thought of a lightning bolt on her forehead... well... Tang Xinyan suddenly felt that it might actually be fine for no reason at all...

After bidding farewell to Xiao Yimo, Tang Xinyan returned to her courtyard. After meditating to consolidate her strength, Xiao Zi within her sea of ​​consciousness also awoke.

Tang Xinyan immediately returned to the Realm of Destiny, eagerly went to the alchemy room, selected an alchemy furnace from the shelf, and took a set of materials for refining the Bigu Pill.

With everything ready, Tang Xinyan recalled the steps of alchemy. The first step was to preheat the alchemy furnace.

However, the moment the purple flames touched the alchemy furnace, it shattered instantly...

Tang Xinyan slapped her forehead; she had been careless. This was a legendary flame, requiring a divine-level alchemy furnace to ignite it.

Just then, Tuanzi came over and pointed to the top row of shelves:

“Master, this row is all at the god level.”

Tang Xinyan glanced around, selected a small purple furnace, placed it on the alchemy table in the center of the room, and began preheating it again.

The preheating went smoothly. The next step was to add the medicinal herbs in order, but the moment they were placed inside the furnace, they instantly carbonized...

Tang Xinyan stroked her chin, pondering to herself:

"Huh? These spiritual plants are supposed to be heat-resistant, yet they've carbonized completely. And... I followed the instructions in the book exactly..."

It seems that Little Purple is too powerful, causing the alchemy furnace to overheat a bit...

After figuring it out, Tang Xinyan communicated with Xiao Zi using her mind, asking it to lower the temperature a bit. Xiao Zi found it amusing and obediently cooperated, nodding repeatedly in agreement.

After communicating with Xiao Zi, Tang Xinyan was preparing to prepare a new set of materials when Tuanzi delivered 100 copies.

Tang Xinyan: [There's no need to be so considerate...]

Tang Xinyan felt that with about ten portions, she should be able to complete the refining process. This wasn't just blind confidence on her part; she had consulted Dan Yao beforehand.

According to Dan Yao, alchemy is not difficult. As long as beginners are careful and patient enough and follow the steps one by one, they can make ordinary, low-grade pills in just a few tries.

But in reality, the slap was incredibly loud; Tang Xinyan burned 10 portions of materials just testing the stove's preheating...

After finally mastering the temperature, the step of extracting the essence of the spiritual herb took considerable effort, even though Tang Xinyan possessed powerful divine sense.

However, her fire was too powerful, making it quite difficult to accurately extract the essence... and the subsequent fusion of the essence resulted in constant explosions in the furnace.

"Bang, bang, bang," the sounds were like the sound of horns being set off during the New Year. Although the alchemy furnace and the person were unharmed, the noise was truly disheartening.

Looking at the materials left beside her, Tang Xinyan was on the verge of tears. Could it be that she was the kind of person who had no talent for alchemy?

At this moment, Tang Xinyan finally understood that when those people with no cooking skills followed a recipe exactly, even if they strictly adhered to the instructions for "a little" or "appropriate amount,"...

But what I ended up with was the feeling of creating a culinary disaster...

Seeing Tang Xinyan sighing repeatedly, Tuanzi didn't know how to comfort her. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward and said weakly:

"Hey master, how about... I go and prepare another 100 servings for you?"

Tang Xinyan: "........"

Taking a deep breath, Tang Xinyan swallowed a Spirit Recovery Pill and a Spirit Replenishing Pill, composed herself, and with a determined look, picked up a set of materials.

However, five minutes later... "Bang!"

Again! Ten minutes later... "Bang!"

Again! Again! "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" ....

Fortunately, two hours later, the fusion of essences finally stopped exploding. When the pill condensed and a medicinal fragrance wafted over, Tang Xinyan almost burst into tears of joy!

Taking out the still-warm pill, Tang Xinyan couldn't wait and put it in her mouth. "Mmm, the taste is authentic."

But the next second, Tang Xinyan felt her lips and tongue go numb. Staring at the four remaining pills in her hand, she felt her heart go numb too…

Tang Xinyan truly hadn't expected that the pills she refined would contain their own lightning. The feeling of eating the pills just now was like swallowing several bags of popping candy at once...

This time, she was completely discouraged. Tang Xinyan decided that she should stop working in isolation and went to the summit again.

However, upon seeing Xiao Yimo, Tang Xinyan suddenly had a mischievous urge. After handing the pill bottle to Xiao Yimo, she excitedly said:

"Master, these are the pills I just refined. Would you like to try them? They might help me find the problem."

Xiao Yimo took the pill bottle, opened it, looked at the pills, and said casually:

"How many times did you succeed in achieving the elixir?"

When asked about the number of times she had successfully formed a pill, Tang Xinyan was a little embarrassed, but she still confessed:

"98 times."

Xiao Yimo smiled enigmatically: "98 times? Didn't you just get back?"

Tang Xinyan: 'Holy crap! I was so focused I forgot about the time difference.'

Xiao Yimo was just giving a reminder, and seeing that Tang Xinyan had realized what was happening, he didn't pursue the matter any further.
