How could someone as well-behaved as Sister Yue possibly be a playboy?

Ye Yueyue carefully blended the three liquids together, controlling the heat with her spiritual power, while simultaneously condensing them together.

It was as if some invisible resistance was preventing Ye Yueyue from controlling them, and she could only grind them down little by little.

Sweat dripped from Ye Yueyue's forehead as she persevered with immense difficulty.

As the flames heated them, they finally stopped resisting each other and gradually began to merge into one.

But Ye Yueyue was about to give up; she felt her spiritual energy was running out.

With a loud "boom," the alchemy furnace exploded once again.

The sound was even louder than before, and the entire alchemy room was filled with a burnt smell.

Ye Yueyue collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

The depletion of her spiritual energy caused her to furrow her brow and feel weak all over. Her previously highly focused mind completely relaxed at this moment.

Ye Yueyue was not discouraged. Instead, she sat quietly on the ground to rest and recover her spiritual energy while reviewing her recent failure in her mind.

The first time the oven exploded, it was because I didn't control the heat well.

The second explosion was the final step in the process of forming the pill. The repulsive resistance caused her to waste too much time, resulting in the depletion of her spiritual energy and failure.

After reaching a conclusion, Ye Yueyue had almost rested enough.

She wants to do it again!

Ye Yueyue is confident of success.

It's just the last step. At worst, I'll fail a few more times. Failure is the mother of success. As long as I persevere, I'll succeed sooner or later.

When Ye Yueyue rented the alchemy room, she was prepared to die here all day; it was all or nothing!

The two defeats did not discourage her; instead, they fueled her competitive spirit.

She, Ye Yueyue, will definitely succeed!

The third time... failed.

Due to insufficient purity, Ye Yueyue successfully refined the pill at the last moment before she was exhausted, but the pill was ruined and turned into a dark, lumpy ball.

Finally, on the fourth try... success!

This time, she learned from her previous mistakes and carefully removed the impurities, successfully completing the elixir.

As a faint fragrance wafted from the alchemy furnace, she withdrew her spiritual power. Ye Yueyue was so moved that she almost burst into tears.

Upon opening the alchemy furnace, two round pills were found inside.

Although the success rate was only two pills, and the quality was very average, Ye Yueyue still smiled happily because this was her first success and her last failure.

【Congratulations, Master!】 Huanling Sha's cheerful voice rang in my mind.

Ye Yueyue stood up wearily and put the Spirit-Replenishing Pill into her mouth.

It dissolves instantly upon contact with water, and the pill transforms into a rich medicinal aroma upon entering the mouth, beginning to nourish the entire body. The feeling of exhaustion is greatly relieved, and the depleted spiritual energy is gradually replenished.

Is this the effect of the Spirit Replenishing Pill? It truly lives up to its reputation.

Ye Yueyue breathed a satisfied sigh of relief. The frustration brought by the defeat completely dissipated at this moment, turning into a strong fighting spirit.

There were still six sets of materials for Spirit Replenishing Pills in the storage bag, and only half a day had passed.

She's about to unleash her full power!

Ye Yueyue threw herself back into alchemy with renewed vigor, and with the experience of her success, she succeeded on her fifth attempt!

She grinned as she looked at the round pills in her palm. This time, four pills were successfully made!

The sixth time... five!

The seventh time... seven!

The eighth time... eight!

The ninth time, ten pills!

The tenth time... still ten!

The last batch of pills was produced, with ten round and lustrous white pills neatly arranged inside. They were translucent and had a rich aroma. Ye Yueyue examined them and found that one of them was even a mid-grade Spirit Replenishing Pill!

However, only that one pill was of better quality than the others. The quality of the pill was also very important; the better the quality, the better the effect.

For example, a low-grade spirit-replenishing pill only replenishes half of the spiritual power, while a mid-grade pill can replenish 60%, a high-grade pill 80%, and a top-grade pill with cloud patterns on it can replenish all the spiritual power in one pill.

However, most of the pills on the market are of low or medium grade, and only a small number of elders of major sects can use high-grade pills.

Top-grade elixirs are extremely rare, almost impossible to find, and are considered to be in high demand but unavailable for purchase.

After Ye Yueyue finished refining the pills and tidied herself up, she looked in the mirror and found her face was pitch black. She quickly used a cleansing spell and looked brand new.

She took stock of the results.

The ten ingredients were used to refine a total of 42 Spirit-Replenishing Pills, and she used two of them herself.

At the market price of 10 spirit stones per bottle, and each bottle contains five pills, Ye Yueyue earned 45 spirit stones today after deducting costs!

This was only because she had failed quite a few times before; otherwise, she felt she could have failed even more. Fortunately, the ending was pleasing.

Ye Yueyue didn't think too much about the first time she refined it, only hoping not to lose money. But the result was far beyond her expectations.

Ye Yueyue carefully placed the Spirit-Replenishing Pills into glass bottles to prevent the loss of their medicinal properties. These bottles were given to her when she bought the materials. Ye Yueyue only left the pill-making room after filling eight bottles.

It was already dark outside.

It was almost noon when we arrived, but now it was pitch black. All the disciples of Danfeng had left, and we didn't see a single person on the road.

Time flies when you're busy.

Ye Yueyue rode the azure eagle back to Sword Peak.

After she finished cooking, Ye Yueyue finally had a moment to browse the spiritual scroll during the meal. However, as soon as she opened it, she saw a message from Si Keke.

Lingjian's thumping sound came through.

How is Junior Sister Yue doing?

[Junior Sister Yue, are you still not done? Don't be impatient, even your first attempt at alchemy failed.]

[Feel free to ask me any questions, Sister Yue!]

[Junior Sister Yue told me she had finished her seclusion.]

Just by reading these few lines, Ye Yueyue could picture the girl's enthusiastic expression, and she chuckled.

Coco is such a lovely girl!

[I'm out of quarantine! Thank you, Senior Sister Coco!]

Sike replied quickly from the other end.

[So, did you succeed, Junior Sister Yue? It's okay if you didn't succeed; I'll teach you step by step next time.]

【Successful】

Upon seeing the message, Si Keke exclaimed in delight, "Junior Sister Yue, are you that amazing?! It seems you have a great talent for alchemy!"

Si Keke finally felt relieved. She had been very happy taking classes with Ye Yueyue during this time, and she was a little worried that her junior sister Yueyue might get discouraged and lose interest.

This means she'll lose a friend she can play with every day.

Highly talented? Is Zun Du a fake?

Ye Yueyue took a bite of the chicken and mushroom stew, raised an eyebrow, and replied, "Really!"

Yes, even alchemists usually fail several times before succeeding. Junior Sister Yue succeeded on her first try—that's amazing!

I failed many times before I finally succeeded.

That's still quite impressive; some people try dozens of times before they succeed in making the pill.

Although they are a small minority, they are not nonexistent.

[But I exploded the furnace, twice! I only managed to refine two TvTs.]

Si Keke paused for a moment, then said, "It's alright, after all, Junior Sister Yue isn't from Dan Peak, and she doesn't have a wood spirit root."

Let's give Yue Shimei more encouragement...
