A genius girl with her own space

Chapter 264: Refining the Longevity Pill

Qiqi played with the two babies for a while, talked with the master for a while, and then went to rest.

She fell asleep quickly. In her dream, she walked into a hall and saw a beautiful woman in blue clothes, with an elegant demeanor. She looked like a fairy. She was fiddling with Chinese medicinal herbs in front of the alchemy furnace in the hall, preparing to make an elixir.

Soon, blue flames appeared on her hands, igniting at the base of the alchemy furnace with a bang. She tossed the Chinese medicinal herbs into the furnace one by one, refining them. They quickly condensed into a medicinal juice, which she then refined and fused into a pill. She also infused her spiritual energy into the pill, continuing to refine it with the blue flames. Soon, the rich aroma of the pill emanated from the furnace.

The beautiful woman formed a few hand seals and then placed them into the alchemy furnace. Soon, a thumping sound could be heard from the furnace. She pulled out a small bottle and opened the furnace. Several pills flew out, attempting to escape. The woman quickly collected the flying pills into the bottle.

She smiled sweetly and muttered to herself, "I've finally mastered it. I can extend my master's lifespan." The woman soon arrived at a cave. The cave was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Inside lived a white-haired old man.

"Master, are you okay? I have prepared a longevity pill for you, please take it. I will think of a way. You are the only relative I have left, you can't abandon me." The woman said sadly.

"Okay," the old man said without saying anything. He took the pill and put it in his mouth. It quickly turned into a liquid and was absorbed. The old man's hair slowly turned black, and his skin also changed. Soon, the old woman turned into a beautiful middle-aged woman in her forties.

She sat in front of the mirror, stroking her face, her heart agitated, but her expression remained calm. She was afraid that his disciple would feel guilty and sad.

Just when Qiqi wanted to listen to what they were talking about, she was woken up by the two babies.

"Mom, mom, it's time for dinner. Auntie has made a lot of delicious food. Please accompany us for dinner!" Xiaoya said.

"Xiaoya, Xiaoyu, why are you running so fast? Is your mother awake? If not, don't call her." Qiqi just woke up and heard the voice of her master's wife.

As Qiqi sat up, the master's wife walked in.

"Master's wife, the meal is ready. I'm really a little hungry." Qiqi said.

"Qiqi, you have slept for a whole day and night, how can you not be hungry? Come and wash up first, then go to the restaurant for dinner. You two go to the restaurant with your mistress and wait for your mother." The mistress took the two babies and went back first.

Qiqi was stunned. It felt like she had only slept for a short while, but how could she have slept for so long? She thought about the beautiful woman in her dream. She remembered the method of refining the longevity pill clearly, as if the woman was teaching her how to make it. Wasn't the alchemy furnace she used the same one I put away?

Isn't that the beautiful woman in the portrait at the bottom of Shuncheng Lake, in the main hall? Why did I dream about her? Forget about it, let's go eat first.

Qiqi arrived at the restaurant quickly and saw her master, his wife, and two children waiting for her.

"Qiqi, Jingze saw that you were still sleeping, so he went to the main hall to meditate, saying that he wanted to make himself stronger as soon as possible. What did you encounter this time, or what stimulated him to practice so hard?" Yun Jizi asked.

"Master, maybe he was stimulated by seeing how powerful the Emperor is. Let him practice." Let's eat first.

After Qiqi finished her meal with her master and two pets, she went to the space to make pills. The two pets also wanted to follow her to the space to play with the beasts. Qiqi took her master, mistress, and the two pets into the space together.

Qiqi began refining the soul-nourishing elixir. She witnessed the wounded King of Hell and the Black and White Impermanence in the underworld, and realized the suffering of life in both the human and the underworld. In the human world, if you don't work hard, you'll suffer poverty. Even the poor are bullied by wealthy landlords, some even having to sell their children. Some are addicted to gambling and smoking opium. The same is true in the underworld. Many ghosts who don't want to be reborn buy property and start businesses in the underworld. Others are bullied. If demonic or evil spirits escape, they risk being devoured.

Qiqi couldn't care less; she simply wanted to take care of every family member around her. Help in emergencies, not in poverty. This is the truth. If you save someone for a while, but don't, they'll turn against you and harbor evil intentions. Qiqi has seen this kind of thing all the time in modern times. Many people harm their siblings to seize family property, even deliberately causing car accidents that kill their loved ones so they can inherit a multi-million dollar fortune.

Qiqi smiled at this thought. Her parents in modern times only had her as their only child. Their family was so large, so her parents should have a good home. She didn't think about it anymore. She'd wait until she was stronger, then see if she could go back and see them! Or maybe bring them here to live with her parents.

Qiqi took out the alchemy furnace from the main hall and shaped it to suit her needs. While refining the elixirs, she pondered these thoughts. Soon, a furnace of elixirs was ready. Twelve in total, each etched with elixir patterns, they were top-tier. She was delighted to know her alchemy skills had improved, and she was grateful for this god-level alchemy furnace.

After refining the Soul Nourishing Pill for a whole day, she saw hundreds of small bottles filled with the pills. This should be enough.

She continued to try to refine the longevity elixir. She prepared the herbs first, recalled the order of refining, and began to refine. Soon, the elixir melted, and she heard the sound of the furnace exploding. This time, the refining failed.

Qiqi was not discouraged. She cleaned the alchemy furnace and started refining the medicine. This time, she refined it carefully, controlling every step.

This time, she harvested only one inferior pill. Qiqi cleaned the alchemy furnace again. She replayed the scene of the woman refining the pill. She saw the woman infuse the pill with spiritual energy at the end. She didn't know that the woman was refining a divine pill from the divine realm. Consuming one pill would extend a mortal's lifespan by fifty years. She developed it specifically for mortals.

How could I have forgotten this step? I will try refining it again to see if I can make the pill.

Qiqi tossed the herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one, refining them into a medicinal juice, then concentrating and removing impurities. Finally, a pill formed. She watched the pill's transformation with her mind. She infused it with spiritual energy. She nervously watched the pill take shape, her fists clenched. "Qiqi, you can do it!" Once it was refined, she gave it to her parents, her master, and her grandson as a New Year's gift. She also gave one to her two fathers and the old steward.

Qiqi nurtured the elixir over a low flame. It seemed simple, but she constantly observed its changes. After two days of refining, she finally succeeded. The aroma of the elixir wafted from the furnace, so fragrant that Qiqi felt a lot younger. Then, a banging sound echoed from the furnace.

Qiqi couldn't wait to open the alchemy furnace and prepare the vial. Several pills flew out. Qiqi leaped and collected the pills into the vial. She counted eight pills.

It worked! It worked! My life-extending elixir.
