When night fell, Ji Tianxing left the Spiritual Medicine Hall and returned to Fengyun Court.
He had visited Ji Ke just now and chatted with Ke Ke for a long time.
He finally felt relieved when he learned that Keke's life was safe and that he would recover after a month of rest.
After returning to Fengyun Yuan, he did not dare to sleep and rest, and quickly entered the secret room to exercise, heal and practice.
The day after tomorrow is the end of the month, and then Han Qiaosheng will assess everyone's alchemy.
Ji Tianxing was locked up in the Batu Cave for more than ten days and was unable to practice alchemy. He was already far behind other disciples.
But even so, he was unwilling to give up Fengyun Academy's first monthly exam and still had to take the assessment the day after tomorrow.
The night passed quickly.
After a night of practicing Qigong, Ji Tianxing recovered a lot from his injuries and his complexion improved significantly.
Early the next morning, after he finished washing, he left Fengyun Court and went to Tai'an Palace.
Although he had not been to Tai'an Palace for more than ten days, he was imprisoned in Batu Caves and could not help himself.
Now that he is free, Han Qiaosheng's one-month sentence for sweeping the floor has not passed yet. Of course, he must abide by the rules and continue to sweep the floor of Tai'an Palace.
When the morning sun rose, Ji Tianxing arrived at the gate of Tai'an Palace.
The mute sword slave guarding the gate had not seen him for more than ten days, and was stunned for a moment when he saw his figure.
Ji Tianxing could only explain to the sword slave, and then he was allowed to enter.
After entering Tai'an Palace, he consciously took a broom and bamboo basket to clean the dust and fallen leaves in the triple courtyard.
However, he had only been cleaning for a while when the door to the alchemy room opened.
Xiang Wuji opened the door and walked out, standing under the eaves, yawning and stretching, his white hair and beard still stained with medicinal residue.
When he saw Ji Tianxing in the yard, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
After he came to his senses, he smiled and cursed: "You brat, you haven't been sweeping the floor for half a month, why are you back today?"
Ji Tianxing quickly bowed to him and briefly explained the matter.
After Xiang Wuji heard this, the smile on his face became even more teasing, and he said with a smile: "Tsk, tsk, you kid is really unlucky!"
"You have only been in the sect for less than a month, and you have already encountered so many troubles and been imprisoned for half a month."
Ji Tianxing was speechless and could only show a wry smile.
Xiang Wuji yawned again, suddenly thought of something, and waved to him: "Boy, since you haven't been sweeping the floor for half a month, you should do some work for me today."
"You don't have to sweep the floor. Go to the alchemy room and help me keep an eye on the medicine in the alchemy furnace. Don't make any mistakes, or I'll beat you to death!"
"I've already stayed up all night. Go back to your room and take a nap."
After that, he didn't care whether Ji Tianxing agreed or not, and went back to his room to sleep with his hands behind his back.
Ji Tianxing showed a helpless expression and could only put down the broom and bamboo basket and enter the alchemy room to take care of the alchemy furnace.
There are three alchemy furnaces in the alchemy room. The bronze alchemy furnace in the middle is as tall as a person and is emitting curls of green smoke.
There is a formation running at the bottom of the furnace, and the fierce true fire is constantly rising.
I don't know what medicinal materials were put in the alchemy furnace, and the smoke that came out was filled with a strong fragrance of vegetation.
What Ji Tianxing has to do is very simple. He just needs to keep a close eye on the alchemy furnace to ensure that no accidents occur.
As long as the formation of the alchemy furnace does not stop, the true fire of alchemy will not go out.
Ji Tianxing sat next to the alchemy furnace and stared at it for a while, then felt a little bored.
He looked around and saw several old books placed on the table in the corner.
These books are all related to alchemy, and they are opened and placed randomly on the table.
Ji Tianxing picked up one of the ancient books and after reading a few pages, his face changed slightly and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
"This ancient book contains profound knowledge of alchemy, and outer disciples have no access to it!"
"I didn't expect that the old man would put these precious classics so casually on the table... I want to read more while he is sleeping, so that it will be difficult to see them again in the future."
So, he sat at the table and read the alchemy classics carefully.
Time passed quietly, and half a day passed before I knew it.
Ji Tianxing read a whole book without feeling hungry or sleepy.
After reading the entire alchemy classic, he had a deeper understanding of the method of alchemy, and had many insights and thoughts in his heart.
Before, he still had many obscure and confusing aspects about alchemy.
Now that these problems have been solved, he suddenly realized it.
Invisibly, his alchemy attainments and knowledge improved a lot.
At noon, Xiang Wuji was still sleeping in his room and had never been seen.
Ji Tianxing put down the ancient books and began to think about the content of tomorrow's monthly exam.
"The monthly exam is tomorrow. We have to refine the Ling Yun Dan, Qing Jade Pill and Nourishing Heart Pill. Unfortunately, I haven't practiced yet. The chance of failure is very high."
Thinking of this, he became a little anxious and worried.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, he suddenly looked up at the unused brass alchemy furnace not far away, and then looked at the medicine cabinets around him.
A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
"The old man has an alchemy furnace and a variety of medicinal materials here. How about... I borrow his alchemy room and try to refine those three kinds of elixirs?"
"Anyway, the old man has a good heart. Those three elixirs are only of the highest quality at the Yuan level, and the materials for making alchemy are not that expensive and rare... The old man shouldn't mind, right?"
After hesitating for a moment, Ji Tianxing plucked up the courage and started trying to make an elixir.
According to the formulas of the three elixirs, he gathered more than thirty ingredients in the medicine cabinet.
Then, he activated the formation of the brass alchemy furnace and activated the fire of true energy to preheat the alchemy furnace.
After everything was ready, he began to refine the Ling Yun Dan.
He put the twelve medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace in a fixed order and began to refine them.
Before you know it, half an hour has passed and it's time for Ling Yun Dan to be released.
However, when Ji Tianxing opened the furnace lid, he smelled a burnt smell.
After he opened the alchemy furnace, he found that there was no elixir in the furnace, only a pile of black ashes.
"Uh... I tried to make alchemy for the first time and failed!"
"Fortunately no one saw it, otherwise it would be so embarrassing."
Ji Tianxing was a little embarrassed and quickly cleaned up the black ashes in the alchemy furnace.
However, Xiang Wuji arrived at the alchemy room at some unknown time and was leaning at the door, looking at him with a sneer on his face.
"The materials in the elixir room are correct, and the refining steps are correct, but you forgot to control the fire!"
"You idiot, how can you successfully refine elixirs when you only know how to follow the instructions?"
Ji Tianxing suddenly shook his body and turned to look at the door.
Seeing Xiang Wuji, he quickly forced out an awkward smile, "Senior, why are you awake? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"
The sneer on Xiang Wuji's face became even worse, and he cursed angrily: "I can smell the burnt smell from three rooms away, how can I sleep?"
"Hmph! I'm afraid if you sleep a little longer, you will burn all my medicinal materials as firewood!"
