Chapter 294 Determined to Challenge (1/2)
”Mm. I definitely will.”
She then smiled conspiratorarily and said: ”But Grandfather, no one must come into this courtyard of mine. Will you go give the order to the servants when you go back? Do not even let my Father come in here.”
”Haha, alright. Not a problem with that. Your father brought Old White to circle a few rounds and is not in the manor now. If he was here, he would have already come charging right in.” The Old Patriarch said with a laugh. Glancing around at the messed up Alchemy Room, he then asked: ”Do you want to have somebody come help you?”
”When Leng Shuang comes back, just ask her to come here.”
”Alright then! You be a bit more careful yourself. Just don't get hurt.” The Old Patriarch reminded, still a little worried.
”Mm. I will.” Her heart filled with warmth as she saw her Grandfather out and went back into the Alchemy Room to tidy up, a.n.a.lysing once again the reason for her failure.
For a long while, she stood before the pill furnace and summoned up the spirit energy within to light the fire under the stove. As the natal flame roared to life under the pill furnace, she retracted back her hand and controlled the intensity of the flame as she watched the temperature in the furnace carefully.
In the beginning of the previous round, everything had been fine. It was only until the back where the pill was coagulating that the problem occured. It must have been because she had not controlled the flame and her spirit power well enough.
With the experience from her first failure, she carefully worked the furnace again another time, not daring to be careless in the slightest. But after about four hours, the pill furnace started to quake and she was startled when she saw that, immediately picking up her legs to run the very next moment.
'Boom!'
Charred smoke spewed out from the courtyard once more, and this time, everyone in the manor merely paused a moment in startlement, before they continued on with their own tasks, because the Old Patriarch had given his orders that they need not bother with anything that happened in the Eldest Miss courtyard, and they did not need to go see as well.
