Everyone's all smiles on the surface but secretly cunning, but the junior sister only wants to

Song Shiyue's eyes widened, and he nervously stretched out his hands as if he were holding some rare treasure, carefully taking the pill from Jiang Shiliu's hand.

He placed the pill before him, examining it carefully from top to bottom, not missing a single detail. After confirming that it was correct, he took a deep breath, as if making a major decision, and suddenly tilted his head back, swallowing the pill whole in one gulp.

It was truly fortunate that Jiang Shiliu refined a pill that was roughly the same size as a regular pill. If she had accidentally refined one as enormous as the Black Chicken White Phoenix Pill, it would have been a huge problem. Imagine, their usually imposing third senior brother, if such a large pill got stuck in his throat, he might actually choke to death!

At this moment, Jiang Shiliu leaned forward with a curious look on her face, blinked her bright eyes, and asked eagerly, "Third Senior Brother, do you feel anything different?"

Song Shiyue first frowned slightly, carefully sensing the changes in his body, then slowly shook his head and replied, "I haven't found anything special yet, but I feel like my body is a little hot."

However, at that moment, Jiang Shiliu suddenly pointed at Song Shiyue's nose in terror and screamed, "Third Senior Brother! Something's wrong! You're bleeding from your nose!!!"

Upon hearing this, Song Shiyue was first stunned, then subconsciously touched his nose. Seeing the bloodstains on his hand, he shouted incredulously, "How is this possible! I am now a cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage! How could a mere pill cause me to have a nosebleed!"

"But you really have a nosebleed! Third Senior Brother! What should we do? What should we do? I... is there anything I can do to help you?" Jiang Shiliu's face was full of anxiety, her voice was trembling slightly, her hands were unconsciously twisting together, and her eyes were full of worry and panic.

"Don't panic, Junior Sister. I'm fine, no need to worry. It's probably because the pill was too potent, causing my blood and qi to be too strong for a moment, which is why I had a nosebleed. But it's alright, it should stop on its own in a while, no need to worry." Song Shiyue's expression remained calm, as if everything that was happening before his eyes was within his expectations. He gently raised his hand and patted Jiang Shiliu's shoulder reassuringly, then said, "Junior Sister, you can continue refining the pill here in peace. I'll go back to my room to rest for a while." After saying that, he turned and walked towards his room, his steps steady and powerful, showing no sign of panic.

However, just as Song Shiyue hurriedly returned to his room and gently closed the door, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—his clothes burst into flames without warning! Yes, you heard right, this is not a metaphor or an exaggeration, but a real, tangible fire raging on his clothes.

The flames, like a ferocious fire dragon, instantly devoured his clothes. In the blink of an eye, his once intact garments were reduced to ashes, leaving him completely naked.

Unfortunately, he was wearing his usual casual clothes today, not the exclusive attire for Tianyan Peak that his master had distributed to them. You see, Tianyan Peak's clothing was protected by a sophisticated defensive array. If he had been wearing it, perhaps the sudden fire could have been easily contained, preventing him from ending up in such a sorry state, even running naked in public. Alas, there are no "ifs" in life. Now, he could only stand there, staring at the ashes and his naked body, tears welling up in his eyes.

Song Shiyue had only one thought in his mind: the pills refined by his junior sister must never be consumed casually! What kind of pills in the world could be refined by an alchemist that would cause uncontrollable bleeding or even burn one's clothes to ashes? Such a situation was absolutely unique; only his junior sister possessed such extraordinary talent. He truly admired her to the point of prostration. Today, when he heard his second senior brother mention the unique and extraordinary magical artifacts refined by his junior sister, he was initially skeptical, but now, having witnessed it with his own eyes, he had no choice but to believe it.

This little junior sister that Master picked up outside is truly a prodigy. She's only just begun learning the cultivation tasks Master assigned. If she waits until she reaches adulthood and is ready for the apprenticeship ceremony, the entire sect will probably be turned upside down by Xiao Shiliu!
