Chapter 875 - Rapid Breakthrough (1/2)

Qin Haodong didn’t seem to notice all this at all. He continued to shout, “Add Seven-star Grass and Blue Toad…”

Under the circumstances, Fang Qiong’er was also risking her life. Without thinking, she put the two medicinal materials into the furnace as Qin Haodong said. She had no more medicinal materials in her hand at this time.

When the medicinal materials were added into the furnace, the furnace boiled even more violently and the waves of heat distorted the air.

Su Wuxian was extremely nervous. His mind was working at high speed, as he tried to find a way to minimize the losses for the time being. But at this moment, he heard Qin Haodong shouting again, “Increase the firepower!”

“Oh, My God! Is he crazy?”

Su Wuxian almost wanted to rush over and shut Qin Haodong’s mouth. He even wanted to increase the firepower at this time. Wasn’t he afraid that the explosion of the furnace would kill all these people?

“Increase the firepower?”

Fang Qiong’er frowned. At this moment, the furnace could no longer bear it. If she increased the firepower, it would explode soon.

However, after a moment of hesitation, she made a decision. If the sky fell, they would die together at worst. After all, she could not allow him to look down on her.

Thinking of this, she immediately increased the firepower in the furnace as Qin Haodong had said.

Under the surge of Genuine Qi, the flames in the furnace suddenly more than doubled and the whole furnace was enveloped by the hot flames.

“Crack… Crack… Crack…”

Fang Qiong’er’s furnace was only an ordinary furnace, not a divine artifact like the Shennong Furnace. At the final moment of its collapse, the cracks on the furnace suddenly increased and the sounds of it breaking rang out.

Su Wuxian’s heart suddenly sunk. It really was going to explode.

A huge explosion sounded. The furnace exploded, scattering fragments in every direction.

Fang Qiong’er, who had increased the firepower, did not expect the explosion to come so suddenly. She had no time to react and could only close her eyes.

“It’s over. I was really killed by this guy!”

Just when she thought she was going to die, she was surprised to find that the explosion was not as violent as she had imagined, although she also felt the impact of the heatwave and the fragments from the furnace.

Moreover, the intensity of the explosion was far less than that of the explosion of the Level Five pills. It even failed to break through her Genuine Qi.

“What’s going on?”

When she opened her eyes again, she found that Qin Haodong was standing in front of her, holding a jade bottle and putting the nine Cultivation Pills that flew out of the furnace into it.

“Although these pills only have one vein, it’s not bad. At least the medicinal materials were not wasted.”

“What? Pills can fly from the explosion of the furnace? And there were veins on those pills?”

Fang Qiong’er sat there in a daze. She couldn’t believe everything that had just taken place in front of her. She even forgot to wipe the black dust off her face.

What the hell was going on? Not only was the power of the explosion reduced but pills could also be refined. If it was someone else who said this, she would not believe it but now the facts were right in front of her.

By this time, Su Wuxian came over and asked Fang Qiong’er with great concern, “Are you all right?”

“I’m fine!”

Fang Qiong’er came to her senses and jumped up from the ground. She grabbed Qin Haodong’s arm tightly and cried, “How did you do that?”

Seeing that his student was fine, Su Wuxian was relieved. Then he asked curiously, “Yes, Little Qin, how did you do it? It’s a miracle!”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “It’s just a little trick. The reason why the explosion occurred was that the energy in the furnace was out of control.

“If we can integrate all the energy into the pills at this time, the power of the explosion will be greatly reduced and we won’t lose the pills at the same time.”

Both Su Wuxian and Fang Qiong’er were dumbfounded. They were all Alchemists, so they naturally knew how dangerous it was. This theory was reasonable, but in practice, it was extremely dangerous. Any slight carelessness on their part, the explosion would tear them apart.

After staring blankly for a moment, Fang Qiong’er suddenly said, “Junior Brother, I want to be apprenticed to you and learn alchemy from you.”

Su Wuxian was shocked. He knew what Fang Qiong’er’s character was like. She was extremely arrogant and never took anyone else seriously except him.

But now she wanted to be apprenticed to the young man in front of her. It could be seen that she was completely convinced in her heart.

The relationship between him and Fang Qiong’er was the teacher-student relationship. It was mostly limited to the academy. This teacher-student relationship was different from the master and apprentice relationship in a traditional sense. If Fang Qiong’er left the academy, they would not have much contact.

But it was a different story when it comes to apprentices, which was traditionally a lifelong relationship.

Qin Haodong was also a little surprised. The little girl in front of him was arrogant. However, she readily lowered herself as she was totally convinced of his skills.

He said, “Senior Sister Fang Qiong’er, you said that I am your Junior Brother. How can I be your master?”

Fang Qiong’er said sincerely, “It doesn’t matter. The one who is more capable can be my master. I think your alchemy skills are good enough for you to be my master.”

Qin Haodong waved his hand and said, “No, no, I am still a student now. I have no intention of accepting apprentices at all. If you are willing, we can learn more from each other in the future.”

“This…”
