The Cultivation Method of Junior Sister is Unscientific

You’ve got to be kidding!

She had worked so hard to gather all these people.

If she went inside to refine pills, how many people could actually see?

One Master Ming and a few apprentices, how much emotional value could they provide?

Emotional value had to come from the masses.

But Yun Jin would never let it go back to the crowd.

Master Ming frowned, his expression becoming stern for the first time.

He said slowly, “I know you’re young and may have some vanity, wanting to show off in front of people! But pill refining requires the utmost concentration and focus. You can’t relax for even a second. The slightest disturbance can ruin the pills! If you truly want to become an alchemist, you shouldn’t have such thoughts.”

Yun Jin knew Master Ming meant well.

But what could she do?

She needed emotional value.

So, Yun Jin said very calmly, “I still want to refine pills in public.”

Ming Heng was visibly annoyed, but he took two deep breaths to control himself.

He sneered, “Fine, have it your way!”

He pointed to an apprentice, “Go fetch the furnace from alchemy room one.”

The apprentice looked at Yun Jin disdainfully before complying.

If this girl wanted to embarrass herself publicly, let her. It had nothing to do with them anyway.

As the apprentice left, Ming Heng asked Yun Jin, “What first-grade pill do you want to refine?”

“Jade Spirit Pill,” Yun Jin said directly.

The Jade Spirit Pill, used to increase spiritual energy during the Qi Condensation stage, was a common first-grade pill with relatively low refining difficulty. It was often the first choice for many novice alchemists.

But Yun Jin hadn’t considered all that.

Mainly, the only first-grade pill she currently had was the Jade Spirit Pill, given by Ye Danxia earlier.

Yun Jin had used several simplification chances to simplify the Jade Spirit Pill’s refining process to its simplest form.

For this assessment, she naturally chose to refine the Jade Spirit Pill.

“Go fetch three sets of Jade Spirit Pill materials,” Ming Heng instructed another apprentice.

Then he looked at Yun Jin, “You have three chances for the assessment. If you succeed in any attempt, you pass.”

Yun Jin’s eyes lit up, “If I succeed on the first try, can I take the remaining two sets of materials?”

Ming Heng: “…You can.”

Yun Jin became even happier.

Ming Heng, however, had completely dismissed her as an attention-seeking clown and paid her no more attention.

Soon, the furnace and herbs were brought out.

The surrounding area was now packed three layers deep, creating a lively atmosphere.

After all, it was rare to see an alchemist refine pills in public.

Most alchemists would make thorough preparations before refining pills. Some with a strong sense of ceremony would even bathe and fast, burn incense and pray, and eliminate all external influences during the refining process.

It was rare to see someone so flamboyant as to refine pills in public.

Many people had never seen such a thing in their lives.

“Alright, you may begin,” Ming Heng said indifferently.

Yun Jin confidently walked to the furnace.

After simplification.

Her current method for refining Jade Spirit Pills was: Light the fire, add Jade Spirit Grass and Cleansing Spirit Liquid. After half an hour, the pill would be ready.

Compared to the original method, this eliminated three herbs and shortened the time considerably, making it almost foolproof.

Yun Jin thought for a moment and used a few more simplification chances.

This time.

The refining method didn’t change.

But the quality of the refined pills did.

Previously, she could only refine excellent-grade Jade Spirit Pills, but now they would be perfect-grade right out of the furnace.

This was the highest grade possible for first-grade pills.

Yun Jin was finally satisfied.

With so many people here this time.

If she was going to show off, it had to be big.

The emotional value consumed for this was all worth it.

Because she was sure she could earn it back.

At this moment, the confident Yun Jin prepared to open the furnace.

She looked up and down, touching here and there.

Everyone watched curiously.

They had heard that some alchemists performed special rituals before refining pills.

Was this girl also performing some kind of ritual?

As everyone wondered.

Yun Jin suddenly showed a somewhat embarrassed smile.

She looked at Ming Heng and asked, “Master Ming, how do you open this furnace again?”

Ming Heng fell silent.

Chen Longrong fell silent.

Yue Zhao was even more silent.

Yue Zhao was almost going mad.

He had originally hoped for some miracle. Perhaps his Little Junior Sister had encountered alchemy before joining the sect?

But the result?

Yun Jin didn’t even know how to open the furnace…

If she could refine pills like this.

There would be no science to speak of.

Chen Longrong also looked helpless.

This little girl was quite talented, but to become an alchemist, she was clearly still lacking.

But it was alright, he hadn’t lost out. With some nurturing, this girl might still have a chance to advance in the future.

As for this time, it was best not to think about it.

“Can’t you tell me this?” With everyone so silent, Yun Jin felt a rare moment of embarrassment.

Ming Heng said slowly, “Infuse spiritual energy into the red crystal on top of the furnace, and you can freely control it.”

Yun Jin tried it, and sure enough, the furnace lit up with a whoosh, with flames automatically igniting at the bottom.

These flames could be freely adjusted according to her will, which was very convenient.

Yun Jin expressed great satisfaction.

After familiarizing herself with the furnace.

She went to get the herbs.

Originally, refining this Jade Spirit Pill required four types of herbs, plus a portion of refined Cleansing Spirit Liquid.

But.

The simplification system had simplified all of this.

Yun Jin looked and picked through the three portions of Jade Spirit Grass, selecting some of similar quality.

Ming Heng was somewhat surprised by her skill in selecting herbs.

This little girl’s ability to choose herbs was first-rate.

It should be noted that for pill refining, higher quality herbs weren’t always better.

If one herb was exceptionally potent while the others were far inferior, the unstable medicinal power during refining could easily cause conflicts.

Herbs with similar potency like these were actually easier to balance.

It seemed this girl wasn’t a complete outsider after all.

So the next step would be to process these Jade Spirit Grasses, to…

As Ming Heng was thinking, he saw Yun Jin take these Jade Spirit Grasses and throw them all into the furnace at once.

She seemed afraid of getting burned, quickly closing the lid and running far away.

Ming Heng: “???”

What was this!

Who taught her that herbs could be thrown in directly without processing!

Before he could react.

Yun Jin took a portion of Cleansing Spirit Liquid, opened the furnace, poured it all in, then closed the lid and ran away again.

Ming Heng: “……”

He was completely numb now.

This girl wasn’t here to challenge becoming a first-grade alchemist.

She was clearly here to challenge the limits of his heart’s endurance!

Just throwing in herbs like this, without controlling the heat, these pills were bound to explode any minute.

Fortunately!

They were only first-grade pills. Even if they exploded, he could control it.

But Ming Heng still felt his teeth itch with anger.

What on earth was this girl doing!

Even if she was going to throw things in randomly, why didn’t she throw in the other three herbs?

Just then.

Crunch, crunch, strange sounds suddenly rang out.

Ming Heng tensed up.

Was the furnace about to explode so quickly?

Crunch, crunch.

The sound continued.

Ming Heng suddenly felt something was off and turned around.

He saw that Yun Jin had already brought a small stool and sat down.

And then…

She happily started eating melon seeds.

Ming Heng: “……”
