Chapter 280 Junior Alchemist (6)

Because her spiritual power was on the verge of exhaustion, her forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, her face was terrifyingly pale, and her hands pressed against the Medicine Cauldron trembled uncontrollably.

If Nangong Liuyun were here, he would definitely have carried Su Luo away without hesitation out of heartache, as she looked precarious and in extreme pain.

However, Su Luo did not give up; she continued to grit her teeth and persist, refusing to let go.

Gradually, Su Luo felt her consciousness blur, and in a daze, at the very last moment of her spiritual power's exhaustion…

Suddenly, Su Luo felt her mind clear, and a wave of heat rose from her Dantian, circulating throughout her body and growing hotter and hotter.

A light instantly flashed through Su Luo's eyes.

This feeling was familiar; it was just like when she advanced last time. She had lingered at the Peak of the second rank for a long time, originally lacking only an opportunity to advance. Could it be that refining medicine was that opportunity?

She had actually guessed correctly.

Just now, while she was fully focused on the Medicine Cauldron, she unexpectedly broke through the barrier and advanced to the third rank in one go. It was truly a blessing in disguise; even the heavens seemed to favor her.

In just twenty days, she had advanced from zero to the third rank; if this Cultivation speed were known, it would scare a lot of people to death.

Su Luo suppressed her excitement and calmed down. Since she had reached the third rank, her spiritual power was fully restored, making it much easier to control the medicinal properties within the Medicine Cauldron.

Before long, a relieved smile finally appeared on Su Luo's lips.

She knew that she had succeeded in her first attempt at refining medicine.

Moreover, she vaguely felt that the surprises this refining session brought her were more than just a Breakthrough to the third rank.

After it cooled down, Su Luo slowly lifted the lid of the Medicine Cauldron.

Instantly, a rich, fragrant scent wafted out, filling the entire space and lingering for a long time.

Su Luo had seen spiritual essence pills before; among the Medicinal Pills she had extorted from Pharmacist Leng, one type was the spiritual essence pill.

She took a deep breath, a satisfied smile curling her lips, because this fragrance was actually richer and more fragrant than the spiritual essence pills refined by Pharmacist Leng.

After the mist dissipated, Su Luo's gaze fixed on the inside of the Medicine Cauldron.

This look caused her to be slightly stunned.

Why were there so many spiritual essence pills?

She remembered that according to the "Junior Alchemist Classics," it was already very good to produce three spiritual essence pills in one Medicine Cauldron during the first refinement; most people with average talent could only produce two, or even just one.

But… Su Luo looked at the flat surface inside the Medicine Cauldron, where ten round Medicinal Pills lay. Each one was white and plump, looking smooth and adorable, quite pleasing to the eye.

She had actually refined ten pills in a single cauldron… This success rate and quantity left even Su Luo herself somewhat speechless.

Regardless, it was a good thing.

Satisfied, Su Luo took out a jade bottle and carefully placed the ten spiritual essence pills into the porcelain jade bottle, finally plugging the cap to seal the fragrance inside.

After storing the pills, Su Luo took the porcelain jade bottle, and her Soul flashed out of the space, merging with her sleeping body outside.

Outside the space, Su Luo's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly; clutching the porcelain jade bottle, she pushed open the door to find Nangong Liuyun.

She couldn't wait to share such good news with him.

However… when she pushed open the door, what Nangong Liuyun saw was a small face on the verge of tears.
