Little Hell’s Lord glanced at her and said: “He just wants me to tell you not to fool around and be rid of those rotten peach blossoms. Don’t let them hang around you so much and don’t get too close to men.”
Feng Jiu was stunned for a moment, then she laughed: “Little rascal, do you know what rotten peach blossoms are?”
He turned away without speaking.
“Okay, let me tell you, you can go anywhere you like within the palace. If you want to go out of the palace to play, you need Leng Shuang or Leng Hua to accompany you. Don’t run around by yourself and get taken by traffickers.”
“What about you? What are you going to do?” He asked, frowning slightly.
“There is an Alchemy Conference in March in Yi County, I heard that the prizes are very generous. While I am home, I am going to use the opportunity to refine a pill and take it to the conference to participate.”
She smiled as she continued speaking: ” I will go back to Feng Residence to refine the pills. Do you want to stay in the palace or come back with me? But let me make it clear, I won’t have time to look after you in Feng Residence, and you can’t disturb me while I am practising alchemy.”
“Well, I will go back to Feng Residence with you.” He replied.
“Okay, I will go and let Daddy know and we will leave shortly.” She took his hand and walked towards the palace hall.
In the following days, it was as Feng Jiu had said, she was immersed in her alchemy work. However, Little Hell’s Lord hadn’t disturbed her as he was also cultivating. In a blink of an eye, half a month had passed by.
On this day, the fifteenth of the month, a loud bang had sounded from Feng Jiu’s alchemy room. The strong aroma of medicine spread through the air.
After the air flow had dissipated, she took the three elixirs from the alchemy room and looked at them. Two of them were brownish-red, the patterns and the spirit breath were within that or a normal elixir. It was not quite a fifth grade elixir, because it was in fact not a fifth grade elixir. The other elixir was an orangey red pill. The scent of the pill was completely different from what was recorded in the elixir recipe. She tested the elixir with a silver needle. Once the needle touched the elixir, it had turned a weird black colour.
“Very poisonous?” She was dumbfounded. The recipe used was the same, how did one of them become poisonous? Bewildered, she kept the pill away carefully and placed it into space with other poisonous pills.
“The fifth grade elixir has been refined according to the recipe… But I wonder if the effects are as magical as said.” She looked at the pill as she murmured to herself, her eyes full of curiosity.
She had found the fifth grade elixir recipe in space and not left to her by her master. It had belonged to the original owner of that space. She was surprised that she had been able to refine the elixir by following the steps of the recipe within two months.
“Those who have spiritual roots are able to cultivate to become immortals. The spiritual roots were passed down the generations of the immortal families. Ordinary people who want to possess spiritual roots were one in ten thousand. If the Five Elements Pill is just as described in the recipe, then it really is an elixir with infinite value.”
She was extremely excited and kept the elixir then walked out of her alchemy room. She saw Leng Shuang organising the medicinal herbs in the courtyard and asked: “Leng Shuang, where is Leng Hua? Tell him to come here now.”
Leng Hua stopped what she was doing and looked at Feng Jiu: “Leng Hua is outside. Mistress, sit down and have a rest while I go and call for him.”
