Han Miao Shuang was scared for a moment from Sima You Yue shout. She didn’t understand why she was angry.

“Little Junior Brother, where is the problem?”

Sima You Yue took out the herbs. “Refine this one more time. Then I’ll tell you where went wrong.”

“You really can see it!” Han Miao Shuang looked at Sima You Yue with disbelief. She smelled the residue of her refininement and knew the problem. It startled her too much.

“Refine it first. It’ll clarify my conjecture.” Sima You Yue said.

“Alright.”

Han Miao Shuang restarted the refinement while Sima You Yue watched her refinement methods on the side. She didn’t expect that she would know various refining methods, but her divine sense was not strong enough, so the quantity of each refinement was not large.

Although Han Miao Shuang liked eating very much and her personality was a bit delirious, once she began to refine pills, her demeanor changed. This was similar to Fatty Qu.

At the beginning of refinement, Sima You Yue didn’t say anything. When Han Miao Shuang began to fuse, she watched her closely and from a distance.

As expected, half an hour later, the furnace began to emit restless sounds, then a loud explosion resounded as the furnace lid was blown away.

While Han Miao Shuang condensed a protective layer at the instant the explosion occurred, she had also quickly backed away.

During the blast, Sima You Yue observed the furnace and the alchemy room were covered with a light rippling effect. They were well protected.

Sima You Yue witnessed Han Miao Shuang’s action of condensing a protective layer and jumping out of the explosion range. Thankfully, she had reacted quickly.

Han Miao Shuang sneered, “This experience has become more and more conditioned.”

“The furnace is actually alright.” She walked over. The furnace had been restored to its original condition, making her curious.

“There are arrays carved on the furnace, and there are arrays in the room. Once there is an explosion, the arrays will automatically activate.” Han Miao Shuang explained, “Little Junior Brother, have you figured it out? I’ve been stuck here for a long time. If you can’t think of any problems, I’ll have to go to Master.”

“You never went to find Master?” Sima You Yue asked in surprise.

“Didn’t Master go out a while ago? After coming back, I haven’t seen him all day.” Han Miao Shuang said, “Generally, when we encounter this situation, we’ll try to find the problem by ourselves first, and then find Elder Martial Brother. If we can’t even solve it, we will go find Master.”

“So it’s like this.” Sima You Yue nodded.

“How is it? Have you discovered where the problem is?” Han Miao Shuang asked again.

“In fact, your problem is very simple. What is this?” Sima You Yue picked up a light yellow flower and asked.

“Three-seeds flower.”

“How about this?” Sima You Yue picked up a stalk.

“Fern soil root. Are these two herbs in conflict with one another?” Han Miao Shuang examined the three-seeds flower and fern soil root and looked at her puzzledly. “One is of the wood property while the other is of the soil property, so these two don’t conflict!”

“The problem isn’t with the herb type property.” Sima You Yue explained. “These two kinds of herbs should be complementary. When they are together, they will improve each other’s efficacy.”

“Then why?” Han Miao Shuang was more confused.

“The problem is… that.” Sima You Yue held up the fern soil root.

“Fern soil root? Why is it this? Many seventh grade pills require this.” Han Miao Shuang said.

“That’s right, but three-seeds flower is rarely used.” Sima You Yue said. “Fern soil root has a mild property and plays an auxiliary role in many pill refinement. It can achieve a high pill rate. But not in this case.”

“Because of the three-seeds flower?”

“There’s one thing that three-seeds flower is the same with fern soil root, which is that they can change their properties.” Sima You Yue informed, “After the three seeds flower is refined, its wood property will be reduced and its water property will be increased. As for fern soil root, the soil property also contains fire property. If the extraction time is too long, the soil property volatilizes, leaving behind fire property. When water and fire meet, and there is no blending. It’s not strange that the furnace blew up.”

Han Miao Shuang slapped her own forehead. “So that’s why! Some medicinal materials will change some of their properties in the process of refining, which I did know before, but now it seemed I actually forgotten all about it. Thank you, Little Junior Brother. If not for you, I would still be doing useless work!”

“There is not much denaturation of this medicine, and there are few cases of the two at the same time. It’s normal that Senior Sister didn’t think of it for a while.” Sima You Yue said.

“Mm Mm!” Han Miao Shuang glanced at the herbs and excitedly smiled, “All is good now I know where the problem lies.”

She rushed to clean up the residue in excitement and took out another batch of herbs to start refining. This time, she added another medicinal herb, which was used to reconcile the conflicting attributes.

Sima You Yue watched from the side. Han Miao Shuang was worthy as the title of Xu Jin’s favorite student. As soon as the problem came to light, she immediately knew how to deal with it. Moreover, every step was very rigorous and perfectly dealt with, so the first time the pill refinement succeeded.

Han Miao Shuang looked at the two pills in her hand. She shook her head in disappointment and said, “I’m still a little bit worse when fusing. Otherwise, I can refine three pills!”

“Senior Sister, this is the first time that you have successfully refined it, and the fusing is also approaching perfection. I believe you can refine three the second time around.” Sima You Yue said with a smile.

Han Miao Shuang was no longer troubled. Anyway, she was not Jiang Jun Zhe’s kind of super genius and she was not competing with anyone

“Senior Sister, I’m going out.” She already observed enough. She could estimate Han Miao Shuang’s ability.

“Little Junior Brother, what are you planning to do?”

“Looking at Senior Sister’s alchemy, I also want to refine some pills. I’m going back to refine two furnaces of alchemy.” Sima You Yue said.

“Don’t, don’t, it’s all practice anyway. Why don’t you practice here? We can discuss what you have.” Han Miao Shuang said quickly.

Sima You Yue looked at her blinking eyes and knew that she wanted to see how she could make pills. Now that they were under the same master, she didn’t stop looking at her just now. It should be alright if her refinement was revealed to her. Then she nodded and said, “Alright then, I’ll practice here. If there’s something wrong, Senior Sister can point it out to me.”

“What does Little Junior Brother want to refine? Or you can refine the one I just did. I happen to the medicinal herbs.” Han Miao Shuang said.

“Senior Sister, that’s a high-level seventh grade pill. I can’t make it now. If I can make it, the final result will be a waste of one stove of herbs.” Sima You Yue rejected her immediately.

Han Miao Shuang thought similarly. Sima You Yue, no matter how powerful she is, she couldn’t break through the eighth grade so quickly. The pill she just made couldn’t be made without the ability that was close to eighth grade.

“What are you going to refine then?”
