234 Refinement Failed
Because Chao Bai had set up a barrier in the room, no one outside could sense what was going on in the room.
However, Kong Rui could clearly sense that ever since the feather burned in the pill furnace, the pill furnace had been emitting a faint buzzing sound.
Kong Rui wasn’t sure why this was happening, but she didn’t dare to go overboard. She could only continue to focus on refining the two feathers.
However, even after a long time, the two feathers showed no signs of being refined and swayed in the pill furnace.
Kong Rui raised her eyebrows slightly. Then, the hand seals in her hand changed and she increased the activation of her spiritual power.
However, no matter how she changed her hand seals, the two feathers didn’t transform.
Around noon, Kong Rui retracted her hand dejectedly.
She waved her hand to maintain the raging flames in the pill furnace, but the fire had already been extinguished.
Kong Rui sat at the table as she pondered over it. She couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong.
Could it be that the two feathers couldn’t be refined at all?
However, according to the method taught by the Poison Master, there was nothing in the world that couldn’t be refined.
Not to mention the spirit beast’s feathers, it could even refine the spirit beast’s flesh!
The more Kong Rui thought about it, the more annoyed she felt. As she lay on the table dejectedly, she cried out.
Ling Nuo had been guarding outside the entire time, but he couldn’t hear any movement from inside.
It was almost noon, and Ling Nuo really couldn’t sit still anymore. “If anything happens to Miss inside, Young Master will definitely yank my head off!”
Ling Nuo gritted his teeth and knocked on Kong Rui’s door a few times.
Kong Rui was feeling vexed when she heard the knock on the door, so she said in an irritable tone, “Why are you knocking?! I’m not dead!”
Although Kong Rui’s tone was unpleasant, Ling Nuo felt much more at ease when he heard her speak.
He stood outside the door as he said happily, “Miss, what do you want to eat for lunch? I’ll get the kitchen to prepare it now.”
After a while, the room fell silent again.
Ling Nuo waited outside uneasily.
After a while, the door suddenly opened from the inside and Kong Rui strode out. “Let’s go!”
“Huh?” Ling Nuo was startled by Kong Rui’s sudden stride forward. He hurriedly jogged to catch up and asked, “Where are you going?”
Kong Rui ignored him and quickened her pace.
Usually, Fragrant Garden was very quiet at this time. However, for some reason, the procuress actually called out a group of servants today.
When Kong Rui walked past the hall, she saw the procuress with one hand on her waist and the other pointing at the crowd in front of her. “Let me tell you, serve this group of guests well tonight. Otherwise, I’ll teach you guys a lesson!”
Kong Rui, who was about to walk away, retracted her foot.
Curious, she walked over to the procuress. “Any important guests this evening?” she asked.
The procuress was startled by Kong Rui’s sudden appearance.
Fortunately, she had already mastered the ability to act calm. Even though she was startled, she had a calm expression on her face.
“Master…” As the procuress faced Kong Rui, she couldn’t help but freeze.
She still couldn’t get used to her master’s new appearance. Although she could be considered pretty, she felt that it was still a little different from her master’s original appearance.
The procuress quickly retracted her gaze and replied respectfully, “A merchant surnamed Mo booked Fragrant Garden for three days and said that he wanted to invite guests. I originally planned to ask you two for instructions before making a decision, but the two of you…”
The procuress looked at Kong Rui with an aggrieved and helpless expression.
