Chapter 129 Heaven and Earth as a Furnace
"Do you have any other questions?"
Shen Tianlin was getting impatient.
His face showed dissatisfaction, as if he was disgusted by the stupidity displayed by Lu Qingyun.
"No... I'll refine it right away!"
Lu Qingyun took a deep breath, not daring to hesitate.
As Shen Tianlin finished speaking, the Spirit Devouring Pill inside the alchemy furnace disappeared.
Lu Qingyun, who was just about to take the Soul-Devouring Pill to examine it, froze.
Dan is gone?
However, he quickly adjusted his mindset.
He knew that perhaps everything happening now was just a projection of what Aoki Makoto had experienced in the past.
The things involved could never be real.
He took another deep breath.
Even without the aid of elixirs, he had to continue refining.
The medicinal properties of herbs such as *Gnaphalium affine* and *Gnaphalium affine* kept surfacing in my mind.
Following Shen Tianlin's previous instructions, Lu Qingyun burned and forged each item before placing them into the alchemy furnace.
However, when he ignited the spiritual fire in the alchemy furnace, the pills inside were instantly burned to ashes.
"Useless! You even forgot to use the Azure Wood Seal. It seems you'll have to go back into the alchemy furnace for some more practice!"
Before Lu Qingyun could react.
Shen Tianlin then sent him into the alchemy furnace again.
Fire ignited in the sand.
Lu Qingyun gritted his teeth and persevered.
In a daze, the appearance of Shen Tianlin in Lu Qingyun's eyes changed.
This man is no decent father; he's clearly a demon just like Yang Yongxin, who was obsessed with electric motors in my previous life.
Lu Qingyun even suspected that this person might be a humanoid figure created by Yang Yongxin after time travel.
After all, what normal human would think of having a mere Qi Refining Level 3 cultivator refine a Level 2 pill?
Even though his actual cultivation level had reached the half-step Foundation Establishment stage and his divine sense was strong enough to easily understand ordinary first-order pill formulas, his suppressed mana at this moment made it impossible for him to successfully refine a second-order pill formula.
Even properly smelting these spiritual herbs with spiritual fire is impossible.
Can this Soul-Devouring Pill really be successfully refined?
For a moment, Lu Qingyun even suspected that Master Qingmu had deliberately lured them, these cultivators, in to kill them.
Even he, a half-step Foundation Establishment cultivator, is finding it so difficult; how much more difficult must it be for other cultivators...?
There was no time to mourn for myself.
After an hour, Shen Tianlin released him again.
However, Lu Qingyun's face was quite gloomy.
Half of his soul had been burned away.
If it happens twice more, he will really be burned to death by Shen Tianlin.
This time, before Shen Tianlin could even speak...
Lu Qingyun took the initiative and said in a deep voice:
"It's not that I don't want to refine the pills, it's just that I still can't figure out exactly where I'm lacking, what I didn't do well enough, which led to the failure of refining the pills."
"My father sent me to the alchemy furnace to temper my character and to deepen my understanding of alchemy. But if I remain confused and suffer only physical pain without succeeding, wouldn't I be letting my father down?"
"Therefore, I hope you can clear up my doubts."
Shen Tianlin looked at Lu Qingyun and remained silent for a long time.
Then, his expression relaxed, and he smiled.
Shen Tianlin put his hands behind his back.
"Although you still haven't woken up, I'm already quite relieved that you're aware of your own problems."
"The reason you failed to refine it is not because of anything else, but because your mind was not good enough. Therefore, you forgot to use the Green Wood Seal and forgot to carefully comprehend the effects of the medicine."
Shen Tianlin stared intently out the window, his gaze burning.
"The wonder of alchemy lies in the interplay of Yin and Yang as the charcoal, creation as the craftsman, heaven and earth as the furnace, all living beings as the furnace, and the human heart as the furnace. Your so-called low cultivation level is nothing but an excuse. If one could fully understand the properties of medicinal ingredients, even an ordinary person could refine elixirs. What need would there be for mere magical power?"
Lu Qingyun fell silent.
He wasn't an alchemist and couldn't tell whether Shen Tianlin was right or wrong.
Perhaps the Green Wood Seal really does have the miraculous effects the other party mentioned, allowing him to comprehend the subtle differences in medicinal properties and refine the Spirit Devouring Pill regardless of the gap in cultivation level.
However, Aoki Seal...
He won't!
Lu Qingyun remained motionless for a long time.
Shen Tianlin was getting impatient again.
Finally, just as this madman was about to place him into the alchemy furnace again, Lu Qingyun's gaze was firm, and he spoke with unwavering confidence:
"I have understood what Father meant, but I wonder if Father could teach me the Azure Wood Seal again? This time, I am sure I will master it!"
