Chapter 1212: The Alchemy Begins

When Mengyu heard, she realized there was another way. She quickly followed Xiao Tao’s advice, letting the abnormal fire acknowledge her as its master. As expected, the abnormal fire sent a bit of soul fire into her Dantian, nurtured by her Wood Spirit Power.

As the abnormal fire’s soul fragment entered Mengyu’s Dantian, it was greatly delighted.

The abnormal fire was deeply relieved: the master it chose turned out to have a Wood Spirit Body!

The increasingly scarce spiritual energy in the world made its body weaker and weaker. It felt that if this continued, one day its spiritual intelligence would vanish, becoming a piece of mindless mortal fire.

When Mengyu’s divine sense first arrived, it felt that this divine sense had a Heavenly Spirit Body, also known as a Heavenly Spirit Root, and it was a wood attribute Heavenly Spirit Root!

Wood creates fire, Mengyu’s Wood Spirit Body was immensely beneficial for it!

The abnormal fire wanted to make Mengyu its master, so it deliberately transformed into a Golden Lotus flower to lure the Wood Spirit Body here, allowing it to absorb her Wood Spiritual Energy.

Indeed, she came today, and its wish was fulfilled.

Due to the wood energy creating fire, the master’s spiritual energy was very useful to it, and it would now be easier for it to level up. It was truly worth transforming into a Golden Lotus to entice the master to come!

"Xiao Tao, can I start alchemy now?"

With the abnormal fire, Mengyu eagerly wanted to use the low fire for alchemy.

"Of course you can, master. Besides, the thatched house comes with an array, and the old master is still in isolation, why don’t you take the opportunity to enter the space to harvest herbs for alchemy. You can start by refining the Starvation Pill."

Although there were many spiritual medicines in the Space House, those were high-level spiritual medicines that she couldn’t use yet, so she could only first harvest herbs from the medicine field in the space to practice.

Back then, Mengyu gathered a lot of medicine from that natural medicine valley, all planted in the space. Although those medicines weren’t as good as the ones in the medicinal garden, they weren’t bad either.

Since it was in the space, Mengyu could use her mind to directly harvest the herbs. Shortly after, she gathered a large amount of herbs for the Starvation Pill and Yuan Nourishing Pill, and began alchemy using the Pill Manual.

Mengyu had two pill furnaces, one was given by Xiao He when treating the He family brothers, a high-grade spiritual artifact pill cauldron, but since the artifact spirit disappeared, it had fallen to a magic artifact level.

The other was a top-grade magic tool pill cauldron obtained from the ring of the lecherous ghost in Medicine Valley. She had already used it for alchemy.

Additionally, the thatched house space in the Taoyuan Space had three pill rooms, each equipped with a pill cauldron.

Mengyu considered it and decided to use her usual top-grade magic tool pill furnace for alchemy.

Instead of alchemy in the space, Mengyu chose to refine pills in the Space House she removed for her father, because this space had a thirty times speed boost.

Anyway, the Space House was large enough, with more than thirty rooms. She just needed to choose a room far from her father to avoid affecting his isolation.

After spending two hours, ruining five batches of pills, Mengyu finally succeeded in refining her first batch.

"Xiao Tao Xiao Tao, I refined the Starvation Pill."

"Well done, master, keep it up!" Xiao Tao congratulated timely.

In fact, it was twitching its mouth, thinking, Master, you used Stone Bamboo Pith, how could it not succeed?

Stone Bamboo Pith could increase the success rate of alchemy by thirty percent.

Yes, after four failed alchemy attempts, Mengyu added a drop of Stone Bamboo Pith into the final batch.

The value of that single drop of Stone Bamboo Pith was at least worth a thousand Spirit Stones, yet she used it to refine the Starvation Pill worth just two Spirit Stones per large bottle.

Mengyu didn’t care about Xiao Tao’s teasing. The successful refinement of the Starvation Pill gave her confidence, and she continued alchemy.

However, this time, Mengyu dared not use the Stone Bamboo Pith again—she also felt it was too wasteful.
