0615: It’s too early to be happy

## It’s too early to be happy

The Old Patriarch and Suxi looked at each other with smiles on their faces. After drinking his tea, Suxi gave him a gift.

Then Feng Jiu served them tea and she also received the gift prepared by Suxi.

They chatted for a while in the palace. Feng Xiao left first because today the country rulers were leaving and he planned to see them off.

Feng Jiu stayed behind to converse with them. Immediately afterwards, she also left because she planned to go to Peach Blossom Ridge to cultivate in seclusion after her grandfather’s big marriage while waiting for the Six Star Academy’s admission day.

“Big Brother and others also wanted to return home today. Let’s go see them off!” Suxi looked at the people around her with a happy smile on his face. Her years of waiting finally bore fruits. Naturally, she was full of joy.

“Yes, ” Old Patriarch Feng agreed. He went out and accompanied her seeing them off.

Before their big wedding, people came from all corners of the world. After the wedding, they went their separate ways. Even Guan Xilin also followed the Black Market mercenary troop out to gain experience again…

Time flashed by. In a blink of an eye, three months had passed.

At the Peach Blossom Ridge, the old man sweeping the floor listened to the sound of another furnace blast. He could not help but looked towards the alchemy room. This was the forty-second furnace blast this month. Recently, the Black Market people had come here frequently recently to bring her refining furnaces.

“Cough, cough.”

Feng Jiu’s body was pitch black from head to foot. Even her hair was fried by the flame from the pill furnace. Her hair curled up and emitted a burnt smell. Her face was greyish-black and her hair was a mess, like a wolf.

As she covered her mouth and nose, she ran out of the alchemy room and came to the courtyard to exhale a deep breath. Her eyebrows were wrinkled tightly as she talked to herself, “Something’s amiss! I knew I had excellent control of the ground fire. How could I still blow up the stove? What’s going wrong?”

“Did I put in too many dried grass?” She ran into the alchemy room, took out a new refining furnace from the spatial space and began a new experiment.

However, two hours later, another loud bang echoed. This time, the refining furnace was not destroyed, but a stream of air burst out of the furnace violently. With a loud explosion, the elixir was destroyed. It was another failure.

“This time, the furnace was not blown out. Also, the dried grass quantity was not too large. That left the medicinal properties mutually repelled each other… ”

She sat cross-legged in front of the refining furnace still with her body covered with soot. Her eyes were full of concentration. Over the past three months, she had studied the pill refining method in addition to making potions for sale on the black market.

It just didn’t occur to her. She succeeded in making the elixir that triggered the heavenly tribulation. However, she still could not refine the third rank Longevity Pill. So, she could not help wondering whether the elixirs she refined were due to her good luck?

“I don’t believe it!” With eyes showing strong determination, she made another attempt.

The old man sat quietly under the peach tree in the courtyard, looking at the courtyard where the alchemy room was located. When he did not hear the sound of the blast stove in the courtyard after two hours, he closed his eyes slowly and sat quietly like an old monk in meditation.

It was not until another hour later that he heard the woman laughing loudly in the courtyard. He opened his eyes, slowly got up and turned to leave.

And in the alchemy room, Feng Jiu laughed loudly. She was happy that after dozens of failures, the Longevity Pill was successfully refined!

Immediately, she made a pinching gesture learned from the pill refining method. When the medicinal pills flew out of the furnace, she reached over and took it. However, when she saw the two pills in her palm, her smile was stiff.
