I long to return home!

Su Yifeng's residence in Xiafeng.

Xue Wu called out twice towards the spirit house with great anticipation. After a while, Su Yifeng walked out disheveled, his hair messy, looking like he had just woken up. Looking along his clothes, the outline of his figure was perfectly revealed, a truly perfect figure.

"Here I am," Su Yifeng said, yawning with his eyes half-closed.

"Yes, I've come to learn alchemy," Xue Wu said excitedly.

Upon hearing this, Su Yifeng instantly perked up. With a flick of his sleeve, he draped his neat clothes over his body, and his long hair was tied up high with a hair crown. He then led Xue Wu inside.

During the journey, Su Yifeng was somewhat surprised and asked, "Why didn't you go to earn contribution points? Don't you plan to go to the Foundation Establishment Holy Land?"

"I've maxed out my contribution points. I exchanged the beast cores for 900, and I earned another 400 with Brother Xu and the others a few days ago. Subtracting the 300, I'm just enough," Xue Wu said calmly.

Su Yifeng was taken aback. He knew that Xue Wu had killed a lot of high-level magical beasts in Hundred Weapons Valley, but the beast cores that could be exchanged for 900 contribution points were probably comparable to fifth-tier beast cores. In addition, there was the fierce battle with Shangguan Tou a few days ago. He was becoming more and more curious about Xue Wu. If the latter could successfully establish his foundation in the Foundation Establishment Holy Land, he would undoubtedly be the number one among his peers, and it would not be a problem for him to dominate the top sects.

In the alchemy room.

Su Yifeng sat cross-legged to one side, while Xue Wu sat in front of the alchemy furnace.

"You haven't forgotten the steps I took to refine the pills last time, have you?" Su Changfeng asked.

"I haven't forgotten," Xue Wu said.

"Then you try it out. If you successfully refine a Qi-replenishing pill, I will guide you from the side." Su Yifeng crossed his arms and watched quietly.

Xue Wu nodded slightly, took a deep breath to calm his restless heart, and after a moment, he looked firmly at the alchemy furnace, the steps Su Yifeng used to refine pills in the past came to mind.

He gently waved his left hand towards the furnace, and pure fire blazed up. At the same time, he grabbed the medicine cabinet next to him with his right hand, having memorized the herbs needed for the pills.

In just a moment, the medicinal herbs flew out of the medicine cabinet in an orderly fashion and entered the alchemy furnace one by one for refining. This skillful scene made Su Yifeng exclaim in admiration, "Could this kid be a genius at alchemy?"

Under the tempering of pure fire, the herbs are refined to an even higher level of purity. The refined essence is free of impurities and emits a dazzling light. Now that it has been refined, the next step is to fuse the essence of the herbs. This is also the moment that tests the alchemist's skills even more. Wood spirit root needs no introduction as it has a sense of the timing of fusion. However, for Xue Wu, who has fire spirit root, to achieve perfect fusion, he must have talent.

Su Yifeng watched with unwavering focus as the essence within the alchemy furnace gradually drew closer, slowly merging into his body to form the rudimentary shape of the elixir.

At this moment, Xue Wu's gaze sharpened, and he was already covered in sweat. If he didn't control this next step, everything he had done before would be in vain.

Slowly, slowly, no rush, yes, no rush, just slowly blend together...

With Xue Wu cheering himself on, the pill began to take shape, but he couldn't relax yet. Next, he needed to control the heat to nurture the pill and determine its medicinal properties.

He took a deep breath, and under Su Yifeng's gaze, the pill was warmed by the flames. After a moment, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted out and entered the noses of the two of them, indicating that the pill was ready.

With excitement, Xue Wu reached out to draw out the pill, but was intercepted halfway by Su Yifeng. Su Yifeng looked at the fragrant, luminous pill in his hand with astonishment. After observing it for a moment, he sighed softly, "What a pity. If I had lingered a little longer during the fusion process, this Qi-replenishing pill could have reached the highest grade." He then tossed the pill to Xue Wu, saying, "A high-grade pill, and all the impurities have been removed. A top-grade among top-grade pills! Your first attempt at pill refining is already top-grade. Looks like you have quite a talent."

Xue Wu took the pill and played with it in his hands for a while, savoring the process of refining the pill. He felt that there was a gap in the process that he could use to experiment. Then he faced the furnace again, lit a flame, and took out some medicinal materials to try it out.

Su Yifeng was slightly puzzled by what he saw, but he didn't think much of it and continued to watch Xue Wu refine pills quietly.

In his second attempt at alchemy, Xue Wu quickened his pace, scorching the herbs with a great fire. After a few breaths, the herbs were refined into essence. However, at this crucial moment of fusion, the fire in the furnace suddenly intensified.

Su Yifeng was taken aback. Increasing the heat during the fusion process was clearly not a wise move, as it would make it difficult for the medicinal properties of the herbs to combine. He looked at Xue Wu with surprise and doubt, unable to understand what the other party was doing. He had just refined a high-grade pill; he couldn't make such a basic mistake.

To his astonishment, Xue Wu continuously rotated the essence enveloped in flames within the alchemy furnace, eventually fusing them together. Doing so undoubtedly increased the furnace temperature.

boom!

The alchemy furnace exploded, blowing off the roof of the entire alchemy room, filling the air with smoke, and the whole of Xiafeng Mountain echoed with thunderous explosions.

Fortunately, Su Yifeng managed to use his spiritual power to block the explosion in time; otherwise, Xue Wu would probably have been blown to pieces on the spot.

As the smoke cleared, Xue Wu collapsed to the ground, drenched in cold sweat, thinking to himself, "This...this isn't a C4 explosion, is it?"

He turned to look at Su Yifeng, only to see that the other man was furious, clearly genuinely enraged. He said, "Explain! Explain why you increased the heat? If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, even Old Lin can't protect you."

Xue Wu swallowed hard and said tremblingly, "I'm thinking of using my perception of flames to see if there will be any different effects during the fusion of the core."

Listening to Xue Wu's explanation, Su Yifeng frowned. He had never seen such a method of fusion before. After careful analysis and thought, he was surprised to find that Xue Wu's method was indeed feasible, but the herbs and the furnace could not withstand such a temperature. However... if it were a high-grade pill or a high-quality furnace, this method might be worth a try.

After a moment of contemplation, his expression softened. He pulled Xue Wu up from the ground and said calmly, "Fine, it seems you didn't do it unintentionally. Let's just drop this matter. But you can't just let it go like this by blowing up my roof. You have to compensate me."

Xue Wu was taken aback. How could this dignified elder act like a rogue? After a moment of contemplation, he understood the deeper meaning and replied, "This junior understands. I will bring gifts to apologize the next day."

Hearing this, Su Yifeng nodded in satisfaction. He had no intention of punishing him, but after thinking about it, this was a rare opportunity. After all, he hadn't had a good meal for months and missed it terribly. He then coughed a few times, took out a storage bag from his waist and tossed it into the latter's hand, saying indifferently, "This is the alchemy furnace and some medicinal herbs I prepared for you. You can refine some pills when you have time, but you can't try that kind of pill fusion method anymore, understand?"

"This junior understands," Xue Wu assured him, taking the storage bag, but inwardly he sighed, "How could I dare? Do I have a death wish? To produce C4?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Yifeng turned around, waved, and Xue Wu immediately understood what he meant. After saying goodbye, he went down the mountain.
