Chapter 12 The Useless Alchemist
Li Yang's eyes flashed, and with a slight turn of her wrist holding the peach blossom fan, two halos appeared. She then swung the peach blossom fan out of the tower!
Under Li Yang's control, the peach blossom fan transformed into a phantom. The wisteria vines that had been quietly hanging from the eaves twitched and were instantly severed by a pink light!
The peach blossom fan whizzed back into Li Yang's hand. Li Yang covered her mouth in surprise, "Wow, so cool!"
In the following time, Li Yang returned to the Black Tower and began reading. Because of her experience as a doctor in her previous life, she went straight to the alchemy section without hesitation and read through all the books on alchemy from the bottom shelf to the top.
However, the titles of these alchemical books are quite bizarre, such as "Alchemy is good, alchemy is wonderful, you can go anywhere in the world without fear!", "If you can't make alchemy, you can only fight to the death", "To avoid being poisoned, first learn the complete encyclopedia of herbs", "Five years of fire-making and three years of alchemy introduction", and so on.
Although Li Yang was completely bewildered, she still forced herself to continue watching.
I must say, you only realize how well these books are written once you've read them. Even a novice like Li Yang can quickly get started.
Li Yang read the book "To Avoid Being Poisoned, First Learn the Encyclopedia of Herbs" twice very carefully, and only closed the book after she was sure she had memorized everything. Did you think she was about to leave?
No, Li Yang opened the second book, then the third...
Only after reading through all the books on alchemy did Li Yang stand up and stretch her neck. Looking at the two stacks of books on the ground, taller than her, she sighed. She had a photographic memory, but even so much information flooding into her brain at once was a bit overwhelming.
At that moment, she suddenly longed to know what her parents' life had been like, and she desperately wanted to see that dusty little cabin. She didn't know if this intense emotion came from her soul or from this body.
Coming to her senses, she suddenly realized that she had already walked into the yard of the cabin, her hand unconsciously resting on the doorknob.
Li Yang sighed and gently pushed open the door.
A musty, dusty smell wafted over her. Li Yang held her breath and went inside. The house had two courtyards. The outer courtyard was the living room, with a wooden coffee table in front of a rattan sofa and a dining table on the other side.
This is a very modern living room layout, except there is no television.
The only incongruous element was the dusty alchemy furnace in the corner and the entire shelf of herbs and pills, indicating that the owner of the room was also an alchemist.
No wonder there are so many books about alchemy. Li Yang was shocked. So many bizarre titles, could they all be written by her mother?
Li Yang suddenly became very interested in the room behind the door. Without hesitation, she pushed open the second door. The four walls of the room were surrounded by wisteria. In front of her was a rattan rocking chair and a small wooden horse, and there was nothing else.
This is... her room?
Li Yang stood there for a long time before rubbing her sore eyes and returning to the living room to sit next to the alchemy furnace. Now that she had finished studying the theoretical knowledge, it was time to put it into practice.
Li Yang didn't possess fire elemental power, but as a fox demon, she inherited her cheap father's foxfire. She snapped her fingers, summoning a ball of pink flame, which she tossed into the ground of the alchemy furnace. As the furnace heated up, she got up and began rummaging through the shelves.
"Lin Xun grass, Du Li flower, Tong Ling vine... these are exactly the medicinal materials needed for the Restoration Pill to restore spiritual power. Oh, there's even a packet of silver needles."
Li Yang unfolded the silver needle pouch, and the words embroidered on it made her lips twitch: Rong Momo's Needles!
Needless to say, this must be her fashionable mother's.
Li Yang set the needle case aside and picked up the medicinal herbs. Several herbs were wrapped in her palm, and after washing away the dust with her spiritual energy, she threw them into the furnace according to the instructions in the book. She then focused her spiritual energy on the herbs and intently watched for any approaching creatures.
She had read such novels before; usually, a pot of herbs could yield several pills. She wondered how many pills she could refine with foxfire.
……
After refining it, she was dumbfounded; there was only one pill!?
Li Yang stared at the perfectly round and flawless seedling in her palm, utterly perplexed. Had she misread some step? Or was there a problem with the refining method?
Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced at the corner where the silver needles had been placed and noticed a book lying on top of it. The book was titled "One in a Million, A Unique Alchemy Method!"
amount……
So, according to the method in the book, one pill can be produced at a time?
What the heck? Why is it that in other novels, the female protagonist can mass-produce pills like it's water, but in her case, it's like a difficult birth, producing one pill at a time? What is this little girl who likes to hoard things supposed to do?
Li Yang looked at the single seedling in her palm with a complicated expression. She gritted her teeth and swallowed it. After all, she had cultivated it herself, so she couldn't let herself suffer!
"Ok?"
As she felt the pill melt in her mouth, Li Yang's eyes lit up. She raised her hand and conjured a spiritual circle, only to be surprised to find that the originally light blue spiritual circle had turned dark blue!
Wow, this pill can even improve cultivation!
Li Yang immediately forgot her resentment. Unique YYDS is indeed awesome! No, it's her mother's alchemy method that's awesome!
"Little princess? Your Highness?"
Li Yang was suddenly jolted, and when she opened her eyes again, she was back in the courtyard. Beside her, a simply dressed little girl tilted her head and looked at her blankly, waving her outstretched hand in front of her.
Li Yang looked at her blankly, "Huh? What's wrong?"
The little girl straightened up and patted her chest. "Princess, you scared Lian'er to death! I made the bed and called you several times, but you didn't respond. Does the princess want to go to sleep now?"
Rumors circulate that the princess is arrogant, domineering, and difficult to please. It's unknown whether the princess will be angry with her for abruptly interrupting her contemplation…
Li Yang looked up at the sky. It should be a little after eight o'clock in the evening. Before this time, even the beasts of burden had not yet finished their get off work, so it was really difficult to get her to sleep. But seeing that the little girl's eyelids were almost closed, she still said softly, "Okay, Lian'er, you go to sleep first. I'll stand here for a while longer."
Lian'er blinked, seemingly puzzled by Li Yang's actions. After all, she had been a servant for so long, and this was the only time her master had ever told her to go to sleep first.
Seeing Lian'er's confused look, Li Yang teased, "What, do you still want to watch the moon and stars with me?"
Lian'er curtsied and said, "No... Lian'er won't look. Princess, please rest early. If you need anything, just call Lian'er."
Although the moon is very full tonight...
Li Yang smiled slightly as she looked at her fleeing gaze.
"Demon King... are you there? Those two demons seem to have been inside for quite a while. Are you coming to save me now?"
Thinking of the absurd marriage contract that arrived that evening, Li Yang laughed in anger, "Rainbow Cat, where do you get the confidence that I'll come to your rescue at your beck and call?"
After a moment of silence, he stammered, "Nine-Tails...?"
Li Yang: Damn it! I've been manipulated!
"Your location."
"I don't know where this is. I only know that this is the north. If you walk on the roof and climb up, you will see me."
Li Yang's lips twitched.
It's common knowledge that feline eyes reflect light at night; she just didn't get it.
Li Yang turned around, extinguished the candles in the room, climbed onto the roof, straightened up, and looked north. Sure enough, she saw two glowing eyes in the distance.
"I'm here, you wait here."
