Chapter 28: Last resort in a desperate situation, let’s go!

35 hours later…

Song Shuhang’s eyes reht and clear, but his body racked with exhaustion

“The forty-firstht that he could endure till this step during his inaugural pill refining process But at this point, he had redient, there were only the slices of Fresh Overlord Branch, Nine-Yang Scarlet Bamboo, Ocean Trench Frost Crystal and Core of the Snow Deredients had been added, the process would be over!

He removed the lid of the pot and quickly tossed the forty-first ingredient into the pot

Before Song Shuhang could even replace the cover, soe had already erupted from within the pot

The ash-colored liquid that coredients abruptly flared up with a burning stench upon contact with the forty-first ingredient!

What had initially been half a pot of water rapidly evaporated to a fifth of its original volume in the blink of an eye

“Eh, did it fail?” Song Shuhang wondered miserably He suspected that since he had added water at the start, he had been doo

However, he had already persisted till the forty-first redient without a hitch His heart could not help but contain a thread of hope and anticipation Was this the “gambler’s fallacy” that was the characteristic of humanity?

But now, had he finally attained utter failure?

“No, this can’t be It’s not over” As Song Shuhang watched the charcoal-colored liquid evaporate, he noticed how the gray medicinal liquid continued to tenaciously dissolve the forty-first redient

He knew that at this point in ti, or else this atte the forty-first ingredient was truly thethe “Si Liquid”

After this step, it was already in the concluding steps of the process to refine the “Siredients after this one would no longer add to the redients – slices of the Fresh Overlord Branch and the 9-Yang Scarlet Baredients – the Ocean Trench Frost Crystal and the Seed of the Snow Deredients were used to purify the “Si Liquid”

The purification process was theLiquid If it was not purified, the Body Te Liquid in the pot would just be an expensive all-nourishing herbal soup When consu effect would be greatly di herbal soup would transfor Liquid with the addition of the purification process — a transformation from an ordinary medicine into a redient acted as the catalyst for the purification

This step was truly the one where most people were likely to fail at Soft Feather herself had suffered defeat here dozens of times

But how exactly was he supposed to reverse the imminent failure?

If Medicine Master was at this scene, he would be able to turn the tides on this furnace by relying on his exceptional refining experience and technique… wait aLiquid

But Shuhang did not possess any experience, much less any techniques like Medicine Master

“It’s evaporating too quickly I have to slow this part down a little first Add water!” Song Shuhang as the last resort in this desperate situation had added another ladle of water into the pot Although he didn’t know if this would have any effect, it could at least slon the rate of evaporation

“All that’s left are these four ingredients”

Song Shuhang’s thoughts were racing

Tih time for him to attempt another refinement In an hour or two, his roommates would be probably be back

To be honest, if they saw the mess he hadShuhang could not guarantee that his compassionate rooing from the fact that they were so compassionate to the extent that others would distribute each at least ten good friend cards to each of theh!

“I’ll insert all the reether just to experiment It’s most likely a failure anyway I’ll just treat this as an experience” Song Shuhang decided

Within the group, North River’s Loose Practitioner and Soft Feather had both failed numerous times Wouldn’t it be more ridiculous if a complete amateur like him was able to succeed on their first ti Scarlet Bamboo, Ocean Trench Frost Crystal, and the Seed of the Snow Deredients into the pot

Close the lid!

After that, Song Shuhang witnessed the true “Heavenly Ice and Fire Hotpot”

When the two redients, slices of Fresh Overlord Branch and the 9-Yang Scarlet Bamboo, were dissolved into the liquid and heated, they would turn bright red as if they were burning This portion of medicinal liquid would boil violently and evaporate quicker The steaushed out of the vent holes of the pot lid like a fountain
