"Mother, I'll be out the day after tomorrow. In these two days, the Second Lady and her people have been plotting against me. As long as you don't go looking for trouble, they won't bother you," Feng Yuqin instructed Yan Aoyun.
Hearing that the Second Lady was plotting against her daughter, a flicker of anxiety flashed across Yan Aoyun's eyes. "How do they plan to deal with you?"
"I've made all the arrangements. Mother, don't worry," Feng Yuqin comforted her.
Although Yan Aoyun wondered how her daughter had become so assertive after going on a marriage - alliance mission, seeing that her daughter didn't intend to say more, she didn't press further. "Don't worry. I'll stay in my courtyard and won't go out."
"Don't worry, Mistress. We'll take good care of the Lady," Lv'e and Xiahe said immediately.
Feng Yuqin nodded and returned to her own courtyard with Lin Xuan.
Feng Yuqin said to Lin Xuan, "During this period, you guard outside. Stop anyone who tries to come in. Can you do it?"
"Yes, I can," Lin Xuan replied firmly, looking as if she were ready to sacrifice her life.
Seeing her like this, Feng Yuqin curled the corner of her mouth. She took out several small porcelain bottles and gave them to Lin Xuan. "The effects of the pills in these bottles are written on them. If there's an emergency, you can use the pills to stop those who come to cause trouble."
"Yes, Mistress," Lin Xuan took them and replied solemnly.
After giving her instructions, Feng Yuqin turned and entered the room.
Little Jin immediately took out the pill - refining furnace and the beginner's guide to pill - refining from the space.
"Master, you need to learn how to control your spiritual power first before you can condense the flame. Many people can't condense it in their whole lives, but I believe that will never happen to you," Little Ying said, full of confidence in Feng Yuqin.
If Little Ying had disliked his master at first, now he only worshipped her.
"Yes, Master will surely be able to condense the flame in less than three months," Little Jin said confidently.
He had been in the Tianyuan Continent for many years. Every day, people entered the Life - taking Mountain, so Little Jin knew more about the Tianyuan Continent than Feng Yuqin and Little Ying. He knew that it took at least one to two years for someone to condense the flame. After successfully condensing the flame, one could start learning pill - refining.
"Three months? Does it take that long?" Feng Yuqin frowned. This would slow down her plan.
"Master, I heard that the most powerful alchemist in the Dongyuan Kingdom took a year at the fastest," Little Jin said. So he had estimated it three months faster for his master. After all, like Little Ying, he worshipped his master very much.
Hearing this, Feng Yuqin didn't know what to say. "Forget it. I'll start condensing the flame first."
"Okay, Master. We won't bother you," Little Jin said and then fell silent.
Little Ying also kept quiet and watched silently as his master started learning to condense the flame according to the book.
The books given by Little Jin were very detailed.
These collections were what Little Jin had obtained since ancient times. They were much better than the beginner - level books in the current Tianyuan Continent.
So Feng Yuqin was controlling her spiritual power while condensing the flame according to the book.
Half an hour later, Little Ying's divine sense stirred. He isolated the noise to avoid disturbing Feng Yuqin's attempt to condense the flame. Then he said in surprise, "Little Jin, do you feel that Master's spiritual power has become much stronger?"
Little Jin was also very surprised. "It's dozens of times stronger than we estimated."
"I guess I'm not wrong. I thought it was just my illusion," Little Ying said. Then he felt Feng Yuqin's spiritual power double again.
At the same time, Feng Yuqin's strength also increased.
Previously, Feng Yuqin was at the fourth rank of Soul Master. Now she had reached the fifth rank.
This upgrading speed was too monstrous!
Seeing this, Little Ying and Little Jin were a bit stunned. "Can condensing soul power also improve one's strength?"
"I don't know," Little Jin shook his head. "I just haven't encountered such a situation so far."
"Little Jin, we may have met a monstrous master," Little Ying said excitedly. "Maybe Master will be able to condense the flame in less than three months."
"I have that feeling too," Little Jin said.
Time passed quickly.
It had been a few hours since Feng Yuqin started condensing the flame in the evening until midnight. Little Ying and Little Jin stared at her without blinking.
At first, they were very surprised to find that Feng Yuqin's spiritual power was constantly increasing. Later, they didn't even have time to be surprised.
Just when the two beast - pets were speculating how far Master's spiritual power would expand, a cluster of flames suddenly appeared on Feng Yuqin's fingertip.
Little Jin was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. "Li... Little Ying, Ma... Ma... Master has successfully condensed the flame?"
Little Ying was also scared silly. "Am I sleeping and dreaming that Master has successfully condensed the flame?"
After all, it was night, and they had been staring at their master.
Maybe they were just too tired and fell asleep, and then dreamed that Master had successfully condensed the flame.
"Phew... Finally successful," Feng Yuqin took a deep breath.
Feng Yuqin didn't care about the surprise of the two beast - pets. She immediately took out the pill - refining books and started reading.
After reading, Feng Yuqin was more confident about pill - refining.
She might be naturally talented in medicine.
Although she had been a killer in her previous life, she had started learning medicine later. However, her achievements in medicine were no lower than those in her killer career.
So now, after reading the steps of pill - refining, she felt as if she had opened up her meridians and understood everything.
"Is Master starting to refine pills?" Little Ying asked in disbelief when he saw this.
"It seems so," Little Jin thought for a while and said. "Master said that she was a medical genius in her previous life. So pill - refining and being a doctor are the same in principle. They are all interconnected. So Master should learn this quickly."
"What pill do you think Master will refine first?" Little Ying asked.
"Blood - stopping Pill?" Little Jin said uncertainly.
"I guess it's the Yuan - restoring Pill," Little Ying said.
Boom!
The furnace exploded!
Little Ying's divine sense moved, and the sound - isolating barrier disappeared. "Master, it's okay. Furnace explosions are very normal."
He was just worried that Master would give up after the furnace explosion.
"Yes. As far as I know, all alchemists explode the furnace hundreds of times before they succeed in their first pill - refining," Little Jin also comforted her.
Hearing the voices of the two beast - pets, Feng Yuqin curled the corner of her mouth. "Don't worry. Your master won't give up. And what Little Jin said about exploding the furnace hundreds of times will never happen to me."
The beast - pets breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
They thought that Master was just comforting herself. After all, as far as they knew, those who were learning pill - refining for the first time would explode the furnace at least a hundred times, if not two hundred, before successfully refining their first pill.
But soon, the two beast - pets were proven wrong.
"My god, what am I seeing?" Little Ying exclaimed in disbelief.
