470 Failed?

Fu Yu Sheng raised his hands in surrender, " I wouldn't dare to." It wasn't that he wasn't man enough or he didn't have much desire for his wife, his wife was beautiful and of course, he would want to be close to her and spend the night burning in the fire of intimacy but he knew that if he was to try anything on Song Yan then it will be his life on the line.

So, he went to the bathroom that was connected to his room and closed the door behind him. Ever since he was young, he had the habit of taking a bath before sleeping but this time he was taking a cold shower to make himself calm down in case he was to do something to Song Yan.

" Damn," he cursed as he covered his face with his hands, his wife was in the same room and the two of them are long past their problems but he still couldn't touch her. What kind of torture was this?

Song Yan had no idea that Fu Yu Sheng was cursing his life and everything else that was connected to it, she was focusing her attention on the pill furnace that she has found in the luggage of Song Lan and the old master who was with Song Lan. The pill furnace was really delicate with four dragons craved at the base of its stand and a circular space carved in the centre with another one lined on the top with a dual roof, delicate carvings were etched on the entire surface, Song Yan has to admit that even though the old master was an evil entity, the things that he had with him was really wonderful.

In the past, Song Yan tried to make a pill furnace but in the end, she always ended up making a mistake while making it and then the pill furnace will end up exploding, back then she didn't have much money and the herbs that she used to make the pills for her business venture was not expensive but this time she was sure that she will be able to succeed with this pill furnace, which was why she was willing to buy such expensive herbs.

Song Yan looked at the delicate furnace and breathed out that maybe she will be able to give it a try this time.

After all, she has already wasted so much money on the herbs she has asked assistant Xu to buy, even though she didn't need to worry about money now that Fu Yu Sheng was willing to pay her for everything that she wanted to buy but if she was to fail then she might as well smash her head on this pill refiner.

But nothing could be achieved without taking any risk, so Song Yan breathed and calmed the inner Qi of her body as she summoned the hell's fire and then lit a fire underneath the pill refiner while she picked up the book that she got from the old master, she found the recipe for brittle bones poison and then started working her way as she made notes in another book. Song Yan's plan was simple, the book that the old master had with him had various potions and poisons that will kill anyone in just one kill and she was going to use everything that she had learned in the previous life to turn the life taking poisons to life-saving medicines and potions.

" I think that you should use the red flame grass here," Fang Yanli who wanted to learn from Song Yan also sat next to her and kept on giving her suggestions as she tried to change the recipes of the poisons.

" Nah, it will conflict with this one herb," Song Yan pointed to the grass that was going to be added earlier in the pill and then continued breaking the poison bit by bit as she pinched her fingertips together and then opened the lid of the pill furnace and then breathed a generous amount of Yin energy on it, the Yin energy was absorbed by the pill furnace and then she followed the exact opposite steps to make the Yin energy into spiritual water instead of poisonous energy.

One by one she followed the steps that she has written down and then poured the water that has been prepared by the pill refiner into a small porcelain bowl then washed all the herbs that she has brought with her into the spiritual water before pouring a little amount of water in the pill refiner and then placed the herbs according to the steps that she has written in her notes and then she turned to Fang Yanli and said, " I will share my spiritual energy with you, you keep an eye on the heat and make sure that the herbs don't get burned."

" Got it," Fang Yanli turned her attention to the heat while she took care of it Song Yan on the other hand was not sitting idle either, she was focusing her energy on the pill refiner as she centred her Yin energy around the herbs and then channelled it such that the Yin energy was completely covering the herbs and breaking their properties.

The more she instilled the spiritual energy in the pill refiner the more the scent of the herbs started to spread in the room, the sweet smell of the herbs started to emanate from the pill refiner and then the entire room was smelling like pomegranate candy.

Song Yan frowned when she smelled the sweet scent of the pomegranate candy and then pursed her lips, what was going on? Why was it that the herbs were smelling like pomegranate did she fail?

She turned to look at Fang Yanli who looked back at her, as a ghost she didn't have much of a sense of smell but she could see the inside of the furnace and from the looks of it, it looked like the pill inside was turning red.
