In the days that followed, Wen Qingye focused on consolidating his cultivation. He also prepared medicinal baths for Xiaxia and Gao Yuerou. Aided by the baths and pills, Xiaxia broke through directly to the Eighth Level of Qi Cultivation, and Gao Yuerou reached the First Level of Refining Essence.
On this day, Xiaxia went to the Alchemy Pavilion to continue her menial tasks. From time to time, she would sneak into an Alchemy Room to practice alchemy for a bit.
BOOM!
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion echoed through the Alchemy Pavilion. Xiaxia was already used to it. She knew it was the sound of someone failing at alchemy, the ingredients in their Pill Furnace having exploded.
Xiaxia kept her head down and continued with her work.
BOOM!
A moment later, another sound of an exploding Pill Furnace came from that room. Xiaxia shrugged.
