Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Like Having Life
Whimpering, could she have been targeted by an assassin?
But she was just an ordinary little maid!
After delivering the items to Mo Jun, the maid left quickly and silently, not making a single sound.
She dared not disturb Mo Jun, otherwise, she feared her situation would become even more dangerous…
Today, however, Mo Jun had no appetite to eat at all because her research seemed to be on the verge of success!
The research for the Pill of Life was extremely complex, every step precise and strict, and the slightest inattention led to failure.
And strangely enough, even if one followed every step rigorously, success was hard to come by.
For some reason, the Pill of Life was as if alive, reacting on its own.
More often than not, it ended up destroying itself…
No wonder her master had researched for over a decade without success.
She wanted to succeed within a few days, which probably was impossible.
But today, Mo Jun had a premonition that success was imminent…
Watching the pill slowly take shape, Mo Jun was extremely excited, she even stopped breathing!
It had to succeed, it just had to succeed this time!
However, just as Mo Jun’s heart stopped with excitement, the pill burst with a ‘pop’!
The research had failed yet again.
Mo Jun’s mood plummeted from heaven to hell in an instant, a feeling all too unpleasant.
“Why did it fail again?” Mo Jun picked up the prescription, puzzled by her research, “I followed the steps strictly and still failed, why is this so hard to figure out?”
She had almost memorized the prescription, yet she still could not succeed.
Others would surely have been discouraged and collapsed, but Mo Jun quickly regained her confidence.
She decided to eat while holding the prescription, pondering over it as she dined…
Mo Jun had a habit of alternating between a bite of vegetables and a bite of rice, but lately, she had been so absorbed in her research that she would forget about the vegetables, only remembering them after finishing her rice.
Today, she forgot the vegetables again. Just as Mo Jun finished her rice and was about to have some vegetables, something crossed her mind, and she had a sudden flash of insight.
Could it be that the sequence on the prescription was wrong?
Considering this possibility, Mo Jun became excited, but soon thought it unlikely. Her master had researched for over a decade; surely he would have considered this point.
Regardless, she decided to explore this direction further in her research…
While Mo Jun was busy with her research, Jiang Kerou apparently had not given up and was still working on it as well.
Being expelled from the academy didn’t affect Feng Shuguo’s plans at all.
In the shadows, there were quite a few who laughed at her.
At first, everyone was jealous of her, thinking she would definitely succeed. But Feng Shuguo ran into trouble soon after, and now without Feng Shuguo’s support, they wondered how she would manage on her own.
And she hadn’t even sought advice from Meng Ke, so what could she achieve by herself, just bustling about aimlessly?
Yet some believed that Jiang Kerou’s spirit was commendable, for she kept trying without giving up, knowing full well how slim her chances of success were.
Some people, especially the girls who disliked her, thought she was just putting on a show.
“That Jiang Kerou, her schemes are not shallow at all. But her act, it’s a bit too contrived, isn’t it?”
“Exactly, she aims to be the best in everything just to marry into the Hao Family. Now she even pretends to research the Pill of Life, making too much of an unseemly show!”
“But what can you do? She’s the one with the best chance to be noticed by the Hao Family.”
