Cao Zhen had no idea that his verbose critique aimed merely to inspire his disciple's heart for immortal cultivation ended up affecting quite a few people in the Jiuding Xuan.
Ling Xi sat cross-legged in the Pill Room, shocked once more by her master's exquisite alchemy technique. If she hadn't been afraid that prostrating herself and kowtowing might disturb her master's alchemy, she would have done so immediately to apologize! She shouldn't have underestimated her master!
Cao Zhen concentrated on crafting the pills, tossing herbs into the Pill Furnace at different times, and then using a series of Alchemy Techniques to adjust the state of the pills being formed.
Overnight, Cao Zhen completed two pill extractions under Ling Xi's watchful eye, twelve Deception Pills in one go and another twelve Small Five Elements Repair Pills.
