After returning to the inn, Liu Xin'er placed the two stoves on the table and looked at them with her chin propped up.

After looking at the old man for a long time, Liu Xin'er said in a sullen voice: "Why do I look left and right, I can't see the special features of these two furnaces, Sister Xiaoyou, why are you picking the two of them?"

Shen Zhiyu hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "Intuition, intuition tells me that I should pick these two." ”

"Ha?!It turned out to be intuition?!" Liu Xin'er suddenly gave birth to a strong sense of uncertainty - if you only rely on intuition, is it really reliable?

Shen Zhiyou raised her eyebrows and said, "What, do you think it's unreliable to rely on intuition?"

"Well...... this" Liu Xin'er scratched her cheek and laughed dryly, not knowing how to respond to Shen Zhiyou.

To say that you think it is "reliable", this is obviously speaking with a clear conscience, and to say that you think it is "unreliable" seems to negate Shen Zhiyou's choice.

This really embarrassed her......

Shen Zhiyou chuckled, patted Liu Xin'er on the shoulder, and said, "Don't worry, sometimes intuition is much more reliable than what you see with your eyes." ”

Liu Xin'er's eyes lit up!

"Sister Xiaoyou, you are so sure, do you know what is special about these two furnaces?"

"Hmm...... I don't know yet. Shen Zhiyou responded very honestly.

Liu Xin'er: "......"

Suddenly, she had a strong sense of worry, what to do, worried about her and Sister Xiaoyou's second round of exams.

The next day, Liu Xin'er and Shen Zhiyou came to Danxiu Academy again with their furnace dings.

In order to ensure the fairness of the exam, in the next exam month, each candidate will be able to get a fixed amount and a fixed variety of spirit grass at Danxiu Academy every day.

They can take these spirit herbs and refine them in the designated place, as for what spirit pills to refine and how many spirit pills to refine, the academy will not interfere.

After refining the elixir, they can take these elixirs to the examiner in exchange for the corresponding "scores".

At the end of the month, the higher the score, the higher the ranking, the more likely the candidate is to pass the second round of the exam.

After receiving their own spirit grass, Shen Zhiyou and Liu Xin'er chose a remote and quiet place in the designated area of the academy and started their alchemy.

Shen Zhiyou did not adopt the mode of the exam, using spiritual power to alchemize, but directly used the traditional method to stuff the spirit grass into the furnace in order, and then launched the fire spirit technique in the palm of the palm to bake.

This time, what she was refining was still a basic elixir.

She wanted to test the potency of the furnace and see if it was as bad as it seemed.

As a result, this time, Shen Zhiyou couldn't even refine a waste pill, and the entire pot of medicinal herbs was scrapped and turned into a cloud of ashes.

Is this a coincidence? Or is it because the quality of the furnace is so poor?

Shen Zhi thought about it and decided to try a few more times.

The result was still not ideal, and it took eight pots of spirit grass to get a low-grade basic spirit pill, and the time it took was more than twice as long as the average time!

Shen Zhiyou held her forehead with a headache, and secretly wondered in her heart, could it be that her intuition was really wrong?

She couldn't help but tap the stove in front of her with her index finger and said, "Are you really just a pile of broken copper and iron?"

Suddenly, she had a subtle feeling.

The moment she touched the warm surface of the furnace, Shen Zhiyou felt that there seemed to be a trace of spiritual power flowing into the furnace ding along her fingertips.

Shen Zhiyou's eyes flashed, and she had a guess in her heart.

She placed her palm on the furnace ding, then closed her eyes and began to slowly inject her spiritual power into the furnace ding.

At the moment when her spiritual power touched the surface of the furnace, a crazy suction force suddenly attacked Shen Zhiyou's entire sea of knowledge!

Shen Zhiyou: !!What the hell is this?!!!

She'd never seen a furnace that would automatically absorb the user's spiritual power!

However, the current situation does not allow Shen Zhiyou to think too much, because the spiritual power in her sea is constantly being pulled by the suction of the furnace ding and surging towards the depths of the furnace ding!

Shen Zhiyou immediately activated the defense mechanism of Zhihai and began to pull his spiritual power back.

"Hum!" Lu Ding seemed to express his displeasure, and there was a buzzing sound.

Shen Zhiyou sneered and said, "Okay, it turns out that you are pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, do you want to suck my sea of consciousness dry?" Then I will use my spiritual power to destroy you first!"

Shen Zhiyou no longer gathered her spiritual power, but instantly let it burst out, and at the same time, her spiritual power also turned into a sharp knife and stabbed towards the depths of the furnace!

"Buzz ......"

Lu Ding seemed to be starting to be scared, shaking wildly, trying to escape from Shen Zhiyou's control, but as a result, Shen Zhiyou's hands clamped it firmly like a rock, so that it couldn't move at all.

In the depths of the furnace, Shen Zhiyou discovered the existence of a cloud of "qi".

This mass of qi was pitch black, making it impossible to see what was inside, but Shen Zhiyou didn't care, she just controlled her spiritual power and stabbed straight into the depths of this mass of qi!

"Hum—"

There was a long hum from the hearth, like the wail of some beast before it died.

Gradually, the furnace stopped shaking in Shen Zhiyou's hands.

At this time, Shen Zhiyou felt an extremely subtle feeling.

Her spiritual power seems to be completely integrated into the furnace, and she can "see" every corner and every trace of structure in the furnace.

The black gas in the furnace was still there, but it was slowly and obediently rotating around her spiritual power, like a tamed beast, completely devoid of the ferocity just now.

Shen Zhiyou suddenly understood, this furnace tripod can be regarded as a recognition of the master.

She thought about it, manipulated some spirit grass with her spiritual power, and threw it into the furnace.

Soon, this furnace began to operate on its own, and countless spirit grasses were crushed and reorganized under the action of that black qi, and the useful ingredients were extracted, and the useless ingredients were completely discarded......

"Poof!"

In the blink of an eye, a top-grade elixir floated out of the furnace ding, and it was just suspended in front of Shen Zhiyou.

Shen Zhiyou slowly opened her eyes and spread her hands-

That elixir was impartial, and it happened to fall into Shen Zhiyou's hands.

Shen Zhiyou raised her eyebrows, and then, she chuckled lightly and said, "This is the first gift you gave me after you recognized the Lord?"

"Hum—"

The furnace sounded a hum very humanely, as if it was a spiritual pet to please its master.

"Okay, I accepted your gift, and I will have a good cooperation in the future. ”

Shen Zhiyou patted the furnace ding, and the furnace ding shook very happily.

Shen Zhiyou looked at the sky and found that it was not early!

"I didn't expect that it took me so long to tame a furnace ding?" Shen Zhiyou touched her chin thoughtfully, and then, her eyes fell on Liu Xin'er next to her.

Liu Xin'er was holding back her blushing face at this moment, and she was pumping into the furnace in front of her!

However, the furnace in front of her was like an impermeable iron egg, no matter how much aura Liu Xin'er lost into it, it finally bypassed the surface of the furnace, and no trace entered the depths of the furnace.

In the end, Liu Xin'er lost her strength, opened her eyes, and stared at the furnace in front of her breathlessly and extremely depressed.

"Didn't you refine the elixir?" Shen Zhiyou walked over and asked with concern.

"No, all the spiritual energy injected into it has escaped, and there is no way to refine the spiritual grass inside, until now, my spiritual grass is still in the belly of the furnace, woo woo......"

Liu Xin'er was very sad, she didn't blame Shen Zhiyou for choosing a difficult furnace for her, but felt that she was too useless, so she couldn't refine a spirit pill.

Shen Zhiyou patted her head and said, "Don't worry, your furnace tripod may have to be activated in a special way, and when you figure out the method, it will naturally not be difficult." ”

Liu Xin'er said sadly: "I hope so...... By the way, Sister Xiaoyou, how are you refining?"

"Me? one is a low-grade elixir, and one is a top-grade elixir. ”

Shen Zhiyou said, spread out her hands, and showed Liu Xin'er the two elixirs in her hand.

"Wow! It's another top-grade elixir!" Liu Xin'er exclaimed, "But, Sister Xiaoyou, why are you always good and bad......"

The same was true of the last exam, a bunch of spirit grass was wasted, and at the last moment, a top-grade spirit pill was refined, and the defeat was saved.

Shen Zhiyou smiled and said, "Well, I don't know about this, maybe this is the experience that fate gave me?"

Liu Xin'er: "......"

Well, what Sister Xiaoyou said was right.

"Okay, it's not too early, let's clean up, hand over the elixir and leave. ”

Shen Zhiyou patted Liu Xin'er on the shoulder and said.

"Huh, but, I haven't been able to refine the elixir yet......" Liu Xin'er said in a tangled voice.

"If you want to hurry, you just haven't found a way yet, I'll help you think about it when I go back tonight, it's better than standing and thinking about it by yourself. ”

"That's the same, then little sister, let's go!"

Liu Xin'er said, took Shen Zhiyou's arm, and walked towards the examiner.

When they came to the examiner's door, they unexpectedly ran into Yu Aoshan and his party!

Depending on the situation, Yu Aoshan's harvest today is quite large, and she is carrying a large basket in her hand, and there are large and small jade bottles in the basket, which looks very spectacular.

"Yo, let's take a look, who is this, it seems that we have refined a high-grade spirit pill in the exam!

Yu Aoshan sneered and asked Shen Zhiyou, her eyes wandering back and forth on Shen Zhiyou's body several times, as if she was looking for the elixir refined by Shen Zhiyou.

Although he said "genius" in his mouth, in fact, there was not much praise in his tone.

On the contrary, it is full of irony.

Shen Zhiyou glanced at her calmly, ignored her completely, knocked on the door directly, and then pushed the door and walked in.

The examiner was already sitting at his desk, waiting for the candidates to come and hand over the elixir.

Shen Zhiyou took out the two elixirs from the storage ring and put them in front of the chief examiner.

"A low-grade and a top-grade basic elixir?"

The chief examiner recognized the qualities of the two elixirs at a glance.

"Yes. ”

Shen Zhiyou nodded calmly.

Behind her, a mocking laugh rang out.
