Pill King smiled and stroked his beard as he heard what they said. "Such a statent is premature at this ti. Nobody knows whether she will pass or fail until the very last mont."
When the nineteen alchemists heard what he said, they looked at him and said, "Pill King seems to have high hopes for her. Pill King should keep in mind that she is only a woman and still very young. Does Pill King really believe she can make the prescription that nineteen of us compound and developed?"
"There's no point in talking about it; just watch and you'll find out soon enough." Pill King just smiled and didn't argue with them.
Feng Jiu, who was concocting the ointnt, didn't listen to their conversation. Instead, she put all her focus on the prescription and the ointnt. She failed the first ti, but she still had ti to study and explore slowly. She was sure that she would be able to make that ointnt.
People around her were observing her. Because the process of making the ointnt was visible to all, everyone witnessed her every movent in the first step. Consequently, her cautious addition of dicinal substances attracted the attention of the public.
They could not help but speculate that she might not be able to refine the ointnt. In the end, it was a prescription developed over many years by nineteen alchemists. How could such a young woman, who had never worked with it before, concoct the ointnt in such a short ti?
But even though everyone thought it was impossible, Feng Jiu persisted in her efforts to perfect the ointnt. Those people sat cross-legged on the ground; so of them cultivated, others fell asleep, and even the Pill King fell asleep while waiting.
The nineteen alchemists yawned with their eyes half-squinted. Their eyelids drooped as if they were asleep. As ti passed, a strong dicinal scent perated the air. The aroma jolted the slumbering crowd, resulting in their instantaneous awakening.
"What a strong dicinal fragrance!"
"This dicine has such a familiar scent!"
"Is this the scent of Muscle Regeneration Jasper Ointnt? No, it doesn't seem right. It is even more fragrant and its dicinal scent is also richer."
More than a dozen alchemists rubbed their eyes one by one, looking at Feng Jiu in front of them. As the ointnt she was decocting began to take shape, they noticed its intense dicinal aroma and translucent green colour reminiscent of jasper.
"This, this…"
"She, she made the Muscle Regeneration Jasper Ointnt by decoction?"
"That's not right! How co her plaster looks better than the ones we made? The spirit energy breath that hovers above the decocted dicine is also extrely rich and pure. This isn't how it's supposed to be..."
"Did she upgrade the Muscle Regeneration Jasper Ointnt? Is this an enhanced version?" Another alchemist overheard what his peer was saying, and he looked at the ointnt that Feng Jiu was with an incredulous look.
"Is this possible?"
"This is made according to the prescription. How could the prescription be changed? Did she make so mistakes during the process?" So of them didn't think Feng Jiu could actually make the ointnt, let alone improve upon its already quality.
The nearby Pill King smiled, his eyes narrowed to a line. "Pretty good. She's worthy to be my chosen disciple."
When they heard this, the nineteen alchemists' cheeks flushed. They looked at Pill King and asked, "Pill King, has she really upgraded the Muscle Regeneration Jasper Ointnt?"
