With no other choice, Su Changkong could only reel in his emotions, stabilize his mood, rest a bit, and nurture his spirit to its peak before he again began refining the second batch of Monster Life Pills.
"Boom!"
Three days later, an ear-splitting roar echoed from the Pill Refining Room, and thick, ink-like black smoke billowed out, dissipating into the air through the ventilation.
"Failed again..."
The second batch of Monster Life Pills failed.
The third and fourth batches also ended in failure!
"What's going on? I've executed every step perfectly, so why do I keep failing?"
Time flew by, and a month later, Su Changkong's face looked awful.
It was because, over the course of the month, Su Changkong failed ten times in a row, each time at the very last moment.
In other words, aside from the Spiritual Medicine, just the precious Demon Monster Crystal Cores alone amounted to ten wasted pieces, a colossal loss!
