Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 70

"How could this be?!" Yaoshenzi was stunned.

He made a renewed effort to widen his small eyes, leaning in close to the alchemy furnace to ensure he wasn't seeing things.

Indeed, it was the Soul Nourishing Pill!

Although the quality of these pills was not high and the number was small, there was no doubt they were Soul Nourishing Pills!

Yaoshenzi took a deep breath, unable to process it for a while.

Yan Zhao had managed to refine Soul Nourishing Pills on her first attempt?

Such talent was likely unprecedented, both in the past and future.

Yaoshenzi was so shocked that he stood there like a wooden post, motionless.

Until Yan Zhao tugged at his sleeve, "Master, did I succeed?"

"Ah, yes, that's right," Yaoshenzi said, his gaze unfocused and his speech disjointed. "...You succeeded."

Yan Zhao beamed, lifting the little fox and shaking it back and forth, "I can make pills now! In the future, I can make pills for you!"

The little fox was also astonished by Yan Zhao's talent, its eyes widened in disbelief.

Were these pills really made by Yan Zhao?

After a long moment, Yaoshenzi finally regained his composure and became somewhat clear-headed. "Good disciple, your talent is unprecedented. Why don't you try refining again, so I can see if there's any room for improvement?"

Yan Zhao eagerly agreed, "Okay."

She picked up the ingredients and repeated the previous steps.

Yaoshenzi crouched beside her, observing carefully.

After a short while, he noticed something.

Yan Zhao's so-called pill refining was actually just tossing herbs into the furnace without controlling the fire or separating the medicinal properties of the ingredients.

In other words, Yan Zhao was cheating.

Yaoshenzi tugged at his own beard. "Disciple, this won't work. Relying on the furnace alone won't teach you alchemy properly."

He pulled out another furnace and handed it to Yan Zhao. "In the future, when practicing, use this furnace. Unless absolutely necessary, don't use your own furnace."

Yan Zhao blinked, confused. "But I have a furnace. Why not use it?"

Yaoshenzi was momentarily at a loss for words.

At this moment, the little fox jumped out of Yan Zhao's arms and slapped two seals onto Yan Zhao's furnace.

Yaoshenzi squinted and smiled, "Your furnace was damaged by your fox."

Yan Zhao: "......"

She grabbed the little fox, patted its head, and scolded, "You little rascal."

Despite this, Yan Zhao was not upset and accepted the new furnace as advised.

Encouraged by Yaoshenzi, she repeated the process of refining the Soul Nourishing Pill. This time, she indeed failed.

Yan Zhao puffed out her cheeks, looking like an angry pufferfish.

Yaoshenzi's beard finally perked up. "Good disciple, you have a long way to go, but it's alright. With me here, I'll make sure to teach you alchemy!"

Yan Zhao wanted to keep practicing, but Yaoshenzi, concerned about his spiritual herbs, stopped her. "Disciple, don't be too ambitious. The Soul Nourishing Pill is still too difficult for you. Start with the basic level Blood Condensing Pill."
