and what if I died?

" I don't know much about alchemy but I think this is not the way a pill should look like," stated Fang Yanli as she pointed to the pill in the pill refiner. " It looks like some sort of candy, you see?" 

It even smelled like one was what Song Yan wanted to say but she still continued to channel her Yin energy inside the pill furnace, the more she poured her energy into the pill furnace the more prominent the scent of pomegranate became and then ——

Song Yan noticed the flame underneath the pill furnace had started to quiver, she knew that this only happened when the pill was almost ready, she took a sniff of the scent that was emitting from the pill and cursed when she realised that it was still smelling like sweet candy. She hoped that at the last moment something will happen but then the flame underneath the pill refiner extinguished and then with a puff, red and white smoke started floating out of the pill refiner.
