Hua Ruge took it over with some doubts, not knowing how it was done.
"Don't you know where the dispensing room is?" Cheng Sheng frowned.
Hua Ruge nodded: "Disciple is an outer disciple, I have never been in here before."
"Over there, hurry up and go over there." Cheng Sheng pointed in a direction impatiently.
After being mocked, he was in an extremely bad mood.
Hua Ruge nodded and walked out, heading in that direction. Although this place was separated by Brahmin, it was still a big place, and Hua Ruge had to ask around for directions midway before he found the place.
As soon as she entered, she saw a small window and saw a young man in his twenties sitting inside. When he saw her enter, he curiously asked, "Who are you?"
"I'm an apprentice alchemist. I'm here to collect medicine." Hua Ruge said as he handed the paper over.
On the paper, there was a description of the medicinal herbs, as well as the number of herbs required.
The young man took it and said: "Give me the jade."
The young man nodded, he did not immediately go to get the medicine, but approached Hua Ruge and asked quietly: "Everyone says that the ingredient boy Gao Lun died to a woman before becoming a pill refiner, is that true?"
It looked like everyone had a gossipy heart.
"Yes, I was there." She lowered her voice.
"Haha!"
The young man couldn't help but laugh, but he was afraid of delaying the pill refiner. He didn't dare to say anything else and walked away with a dubious expression.
Hua Ruge saw him enter through the door, and after a while, he came out and gave Hua Ruge a bag: "The medicine is all here, take it back."
"Alright, sorry to trouble you, little brother." Hua Ruge took the bag, took back his jade tablet, and said politely.
"It's no trouble, come over and talk when you're free." The young man said with a gossipy expression.
Hua Ruge smiled and said a few words, then took the medicine and returned.
On the way back, she remembered that the alchemists in Sky Mansion Academy were also using ingredients from the dispensing room to refine pills. This was the resources provided by the academy to the alchemists.
However, he couldn't take the resources for free. In order to become an apothecary, he had to contribute to the academy.
Since she had never contributed, she naturally wouldn't go get the medicine. Furthermore, she had used the Ghost Medicine Garden on her Danyang Peak, so she wasn't lacking in medicine ingredients.
Returning to the Pill Room, Hua Ruge saw that Cheng Sheng had already changed into a new set of clothes. This was a set of red Soul Master Robe, with a fire attribute profound beast core embedded in the front.
Not only that, he even wore two necklaces around his neck, four or five rings on his finger, and a magical staff across his knees. In front of him were over ten fire crystals, all of which were equipment used to increase the strength of soul skills.
When Hua Ruge saw this, he was shocked. Those who did not know what was going on would think that he was going to refine a Grade Nine Spirit Pill.
"Why did you only just come back? You took so long to get a pill." Cheng Sheng said impatiently.
Hua Ruge could also tell that this old man was the type who used to get angry. Actually, he was a good person, he might not have any bad intentions.
"This is the first time I haven't been able to find it. The ingredients are all here." Hua Ruge said as he placed the package beside him.
Cheng Sheng did not pursue the matter, and only said: "Take one of each, and send it to my side."
Hua Ruge did as he was told.
Cheng Sheng took a deep breath, and finally extended out his hand to hold the furnace, the flames in his palm immediately enveloping the furnace.
Then, he began to pour the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace, starting with the high-grade medicinal pills that were difficult to purify.
Hua Ruge watched from the side and knew from his skill that this was not the first time he had concocted a Rank 5 Spirit Gathering Pill.
With his cultivation of a Seven Star Soul Master, he should have succeeded long ago.
Cheng Sheng seemed to be very nervous as he cautiously walked step by step. After a while, the nine spirit herbs slowly melted into a liquid in the pill furnace and were purified further.
Seeing this, her brows wrinkled slightly. This old man's control over the heat wasn't very good, and the purification of the medicinal ingredients was far worse.
And because the medicinal liquid was not pure, Cheng Sheng had used it here for a very long time.
Hua Ruge saw that he had miscontrolled the fusion process and the sequence was wrong.
The fire-attribute Fire Spirit Grass and the thunder-attribute Thunder Crystal Flower medicinal liquid fused together.
"Bam!"
When the heavenly thunder triggered the Earth Fire, the medicinal liquid immediately exploded.
Cheng Sheng was blown backwards, but luckily, the explosion of the medicinal pellet was not enough to injure him, other than his ashen face, Cheng Sheng was not injured at all. He sat up without waiting for Hua Ruge's help, and mumbled: "Why did it fail again?"
Hua Ruge scratched his forehead and comforted her: "Pill refining is so difficult, how could it succeed on one try? There are still a lot of herbs here, if I were to become a pill refiner you would definitely succeed after a few more batches."
Even if she was blessed and had the Soulcast with her, she would occasionally make mistakes while refining pills, let alone others.
She could understand the situation.
As expected, Cheng Sheng wiped his face and continued refining.
Cheng Sheng still used the same method for the second furnace without changing the temperature.
"Bam!"
When it was time for the pill to melt, an unavoidable explosion occurred.
Hua Ruge wanted a lower lip, so he continued to encourage her.
0
"Bam!"
"Bam!"
"Bam!"
Following that, all that lingered around Hua Ruge's ears were the sounds of exploding pellets, to the point that she was slowly dumbstruck when she looked at Cheng Sheng.
He failed five times!
Furthermore, each time was for the same reason. He had failed to control the fire well and had made a mistake during the fusion.
This person had actually fallen into the same pit five times, and it seemed like he didn't know what had gone wrong.
Now she finally understood why others said that his apothecary talent was limited.
This was more than limited. There was a trap for him.
The last batch of pills left Cheng Sheng lying on the ground, he did not immediately get up, but was in deep thought.
Seeing that, Hua Ruge did not disturb him, and thought to himself that he should be able to figure out the reason behind all of these failures.
After a while, she heard Cheng Sheng mutter to himself, "There's clearly nothing wrong with that, but why didn't he succeed?"
Hua Ruge covered his face with his hands, completely at a loss as to what to say.
From the looks of it, even if he refined ten more batches, he would still fail. This person's comprehension ability in this aspect was truly terrible.
Cheng Sheng sat up, and said while looking at Hua Ruge: "Tell me, why did I fail?"
"Me?" Hua Ruge pointed to himself, then shook his head: "I'm just an apprentice alchemist, how can I understand such profound knowledge?"
Cheng Sheng sighed, "If I don't advance to a fifth grade pill refiner within the next two days, I will definitely be laughed to death by that brat Song Ziyang."
Hua Ruge squinted her eyes slightly. After all, Cheng Sheng had provoked her because of her, so she shouldn't have done something.
