Chapter 153: Is Your Spiritual Flame for Sale?
The previously quiet Earthly Flame suddenly turned ferocious. It morphed into raging flames that spread at an alarming speed. The herb rack closest to the furnace had already caught fire.
Soon, the raging flames were about to lick Ye Jiuge’s face.
Her fingers twitched, and a wisp of white flame quietly burrowed into the Earthly Flame’s core and was swallowed with a large ‘chomp.’
With a wave of Ye Jiuge’s hand, the Earthly Flame that had lost its core disappeared, leaving behind a charred Pill Production Furnace.
The commotion from the fire was so huge that even Ye Ruyi realized that something was not right. She ignored the Apprentice, who tried to stop her, asking anxiously, “Eldest Sister, are you alright?”
“I’m alright. What are you doing here? Get back and continue with your Pill Production now!” Ye Jiuge replied.
“Eldest Sister, why are you still bothering with Pill Production?” Ye Ruyi’s face turned red with anger. She hollered at the Apprentice, “What are you people doing? You can’t even control the Earthly Flame. What would you have done if someone were burned?”
Those who were refining stepped away. They kept their distance from the Earthly Flame after hearing Ye Ruyi’s words.
The Heart Nourishment Pill was already difficult to begin with. With this distraction, it meant that the pills had all failed. Immediately, laments and complains could be heard about how the Earthly Flame was unreliable.
