At that moment, Chi Shuyan stared at the iron furnace which had exploded and the black decoction in the bowl next to it. She looked at each in dismay and felt pained. Who knew if she had been successful in the refining.
The most profound lesson she learned from refining the pill this time was: Without a good pill furnace, don’t use inferior products as a substitute. Otherwise, the furnace would explode.
Chi Shuyan still had some lingering fear. If she hadn’t reacted quickly just now, she wouldn’t have wasted just the pill furnace, but also these herbs. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan didn’t dare imagine how painful that would have been.
Although she hadn’t successfully refined the medicinal pill, this thing was at least quite similar to that low-grade spirit soup. But should she drink this decoction or not?
If she collapsed directly, she would die of heartache.
After thinking about it, Chi Shuyan still decided to take the risk. Otherwise, it would be a waste of money. Moreover, although the decoction looked a little dark and ugly, it did smell good, and had a faint herbal fragrance and some other smells mixed into it.
In the end, Chi Shuyan gritted her teeth and drank it all up. After half an hour, there still wasn’t the slightest change.
Chi Shuyan sighed. Could it be that her refinement had failed?
But even if it had, there should still be some effect, right?
She waited for another half an hour, but there was still no change in her body, so she could only take a break. Because she had wasted too many herbs and too much money, she wasn’t even in the mood to cultivate now, so she simply lay in bed and prepared to take an afternoon nap.
Unexpectedly, she slept until 7pm?
Chi Shuyan looked at the time and immediately got up. She went to the washroom in a daze, and when she walked in, she saw a dark figure in the particularly large mirror in the washroom.
Chi Shuyan was alarmed and finally came back to her senses. Who else could that be but her?
Chi Shuyan looked down at her arms and realized that it wasn’t just her arms, but black mud was oozing out from her entire body. Chi Shuyan guessed that this was the effect of the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Soup.
She thought it hadn’t worked.
Chi Shuyan was very excited and wanted to know what the effects were. She was also obsessed with cleanliness, and completely forgot that she had forgotten to bring in a change of clothes. She turned on the shower and started to wash up.
The shower took almost an hour. After she was done, she was about to find some clothes to wear, when she remembered that she hadn’t come in with any.
Chi Shuyan simply wrapped herself in the towel that was on the side and was about to return to her room, when there was a sound from the living room. The man’s steady footsteps felt like they were stepping on her heart. Chi Shuyan’s heart thumped. She completely forgot about the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Spirit Soup and her mind was blank. She hadn’t brought in any clothes or pants, and Qi Zhenbai had probably just come back.
Qi Zhenbai had been living on his own in this apartment, and the only ensuite was in his bedroom. Usually, Chi Shuyan would shower in the washroom outside the living room. Since her arrival, the man had always used his ensuite.
At that moment, she was very glad that the washroom in the man’s house didn’t use frosted glass, but was very conservative. Chi Shuyan held back for a long time before she finally couldn’t take it anymore. She then tried to open the door to only reveal her eyes as she gritted her teeth and called for the man.
When Qi Zhenbai came back and didn’t hear any sound at home, he thought that his wife had gone out. He subconsciously wanted to call her, but he heard his wife’s faint voice coming from the gap of the bathroom door in the living room. “Qi Zhenbai, can you get me some clothes?”
