Furthermore, she felt that as an alchemist, she had an obligation to right a mistake that should be common sense.
“You said that if those two ingredients are able to blend together, you’ll eat the test paper?” She turned around and looked at the male who just spoke.
“That’s right.” Gu Xi Ping raised his chin, looking arrogantly at Sima You Yue.
He found Sima You Yue to be an eyesore. He was originally someone that everyone had their eyes on, but now, nobody cared to look at him at all. They only bothered about this ugly bumpkin who came out from who knows what mountain!
Sima You Yue didn’t know why his eyes were filled with aggression towards her, but she would never give face to someone who would provoke her like this.
“I believe that you won’t go back on your word since we are in the presence of so many.” She smiled at him before turning around to say to Ji Qing Yuan, “Scarlet Star Grass and Flaming Cliff Grass are both potent. If they are paired together, it will result in an even more intense medicinal result. For the stronger pills, it’s even more compatible.”
“However, these two herbs cannot be paired together. Not even if you added in a few herbs to fuse them together.” Ji Qing Yuan said.
“That’s because we haven’t yet found the right one.” Sima You Yue said, “As long as we can find the right agent, these two herbs should be able to mix.”
“Then you should prove it to us? Otherwise, you should walk further away. Don’t stand here like an idiot!” Gu Xi Ping said.
“Remember what you just said.” Sima You Yue glanced at him before taking out a stalk of Scarlet grass and a stalk of Flaming Cliff Grass. She also had a ball of some vegetation, and it seemed similar to Earth Tiger Grass.
“What is this? It’s pitch black. Is it even a herb?” Gu Xi Ping sneered, never having seen it before.
“This isn’t a herb, but this is a lot more useful than the other herbs.” Sima You Yue said, “I’m thinking, though, that for someone who has lived with a golden key all their life, you must never have seen this kind of common good.”
“This is your fusing agent? Hahaha, this black round ball that isn’t even a herb?!”
Sima You Yue didn’t bother with him as she took out a furnace and began to refine her pill.
She quickly extracted the two herbs into liquid before she added in the Earth Tiger Grass that had been burned to ashes. She tossed the ashes into the pot. Then, she tossed the scarlet grass and flaming cliff grass inside, closed the lid and increased the intensity of the fire.
‘Ding- Ding-”
As the temperature rose, clanging sounds were heard from inside the furnace. It sounded very similar to the prelude of an exploding furnace.
“Haha, it’s about to explode!”Gu Xi Ping burst into laughter, “I already told you that this was common sense, but you just insisted on it. How about it, isn’t it like a slap to your face?”
“Noisy.” Sima You Yue said this lightly as she turned her attention back to the furnace.
“Ding- Ding-”
It became increasingly chaotic inside the furnace. Aside from Sima You Yue, the others all expected it to explode in a few seconds. Even Ji Qing Yuan prepared to seal the place up the moment it exploded.
“Ding- Ding-”
Just as everyone thought that it was going to explode, the sounds from inside the furnace gradually calmed down until it was completely silent.
‘This”
Gu Xi Ping and the others didn’t believe that it had truly fused. However, there were no longer any sounds of movement coming from inside. Their curiosity finally got the better of them.
