Chapter 1350: Not Even the Heavenly Dao Can Help

As Qing Yue had said before, learning makes one wise and powerful.

Qing Yue took a pill refining furnace and a thick stack of pill formulas out from his storage space. The pill formulas were neat and tidy. Although some of the pages were starting to turn yellow, their corners didn’t curl at all. Qing Yue had clearly preserved them very well.

Then, Qing Yue took out some medicinal ingredients, celestial treasures, and demonic beast cores.

When Ning Shu saw how serious Qing Yue was, she became aware of how much respect he had for knowledge.

“You collected all of this?” asked Ning Shu when she saw these pill formulas.

Qing Yue nodded. “Yes. Every time a new pill formula came out, I would go get a copy. Some pill formulas have already been lost to the outside world, but I have them with me.”

He really was a living fossil. Why didn’t he use jade scrolls to preserve the formulas? How long could paper possibly be preserved?

“Alchemy requires a fire spiritual root. If you don’t have a fire spiritual root, you will need either skyfire or earthfire,” said Qing Yue.

Ning Shu circulated the spiritual energy in her body and a small flame appeared at the tip of her finger. “I have a fire spiritual root.”

“Starting now, you will need to memorize the pill formulas and learn to identify celestial treasures,” said Qing Yue. “Once you’ve done these, we can start refining pills.”

“Okay, thank you.” Ning Shu thanked Qing Yue.

Then, Ning Shu turned on her memorization mode. She saw how much Qing Yue valued these pill formulas, so she was especially careful when she read through them, taking care to not damage them.

Fortunately, she had added a lot of attribute points to intelligence, so her memory had become better. She could still engrave the knowledge in her mind through rote memorization.

Then, she memorized the attributes and uses for celestial treasures, as well as the steps for refining pills.

When Ning Shu wasn’t cultivating, she was looking over these things and thinking about them. Whenever she was hungry, she would have a fasting pill.

Sometimes, Qing Yue would come to see her. When he saw that she was so focused, he didn’t bother her.

Ning Shu didn’t know how long she had been holed up in her room before Qing Yue came to tell her that she could start refining pills with the furnace.

She was very excited.

“Go bathe and change your clothes,” said Qing Yue.

Although she could use a cleansing spell, she still felt dirty due to not having taken a bath in so long.

After earnestly washing herself and changing her clothes, Ning Shu entered the alchemy room.

She saw Qing Yue’s serious expression and couldn’t help but become more serious herself.

“How big of a flame can you produce?” asked Qing Yue.

Ning Shu circulated the spiritual energy in her body and a weak flame appeared on her finger. It was very small.

Even if this flame spent a lifetime trying to refine pills, it still wouldn’t be able to.

She didn’t cultivate the fire root cultivation manuals, so naturally the flame was very weak.

Qing Yue glanced at Ning Shu and took out some fiery red crystals. When all these crystals were piled together, they released a temperature akin to that of a flame.

Qing Yue placed these crystals under the furnace and told Ning Shu, “Try refining the easiest fasting pill.”

“Okay.” Ning Shu swallowed nervously. Then, she grabbed the spiritual grass and spiritual fruits needed for making the fasting pills and placed them into the furnace according to the instructions on the pill formula.

She released her spiritual consciousness to keep an eye on the situation inside the furnace. She made the spiritual energy blend into the pill liquid to make the pill take shape.

Clearly, Ning Shu didn’t have any talent for pill refining. She failed two times in a row and the furnace exploded. With this kind of talent, even if the Heavenly Dao of this plane wanted to give her some cheats, it would be unable to do so.

Qing Yue comforted Ning Shu. “There’s no rush. Pill refining isn’t an easy thing to do.”

Ning Shu made a sound of agreement and continued to struggle with making the fasting pills. She never thought the fasting pills that she normally exchanged for with her points would be so hard to make.

It was twenty points per pill, and every time she got pills, she’d buy a hundred of them.

But why was it so hard to make it herself? Ning Shu rubbed her face, leaving an ashy stain.

She had better learn this. After all, what if the system spazzed out one day and she couldn’t exchange any points for pills?

Ning Shu didn’t trust the system marketplace at all now. The exchanged items could be taken back at will and also had various restrictions placed on them.

Only the items bought with merit and faith points would belong to her forever. The problem was that these two things were not like experience points and couldn’t be obtained in every world.

Only the things grasped firmly in her own hands were reliable.
