Chapter 163: Restoring the Golden Body
Yuan Jiang felt like his entire worldview had collapsed.
While he was still reeling from shock, Yun Jiao, having divided up the rice cake, opened the storage pouch filled with herbs and began taking out spiritual plants and celestial grasses one by one. Each time she took one out, she placed it on the open furnace lid for a moment as though weighing it, then casually tossed the entire thing into the furnace.
“Wait!” Yuan Jiang finally came to his senses and hurried forward. “Little Martial Niece, you’re just… putting them straight in?”
No extraction, no refinement of essences?
“Yep.” Yun Jiao replied with complete naturalness. After a moment, she added, “Don’t worry, the furnace has a dust-cleansing incantation. It’ll automatically purify everything. No rice-cake smell.”
“…” That wasn’t what he was worried about!
Was it really okay to just stuff all the precious herbs in like that? Could anything refined this way possibly count as a pill?
He stared in pain at the priceless ingredients he’d spent so much effort and resources to obtain, his heart bleeding with every glance. But he didn’t dare say a word of doubt. After all, Yun Jiao’s alchemy had been personally taught by their Master. To question her would be like slapping their Master’s face in public.
As he hesitated between anxiety and awe, Yun Jiao had already closed the furnace lid. He expected her to summon fire for the refinement, but instead, she didn’t even take out a fire talisman. She merely extended her hand and tapped a single spot on the furnace as if triggering something.
