Chapter 5: The Alchemy of Failure

She wanted to rush over, but unfortunately, this body was a waste of spiritual power.

The prime minister's compound, how could there be no master nursery, and now she is not the opponent of those people at all.

Hearing Shangguan Xue'er say this, the nurse was relieved to go back to the house with her clothes.

The mother leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked up at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking, she got up and took a cloak and gently covered her mother, and turned and walked towards the back mountain.

"Elixir?"

She hadn't taken a few steps before her furrowed brow was filled with doubt.

How could there be so many elixirs in this place?

In her last life, she was forced to identify elixirs since she was a child and read medical books by heart, and this knowledge has long been memorized.

Judging by the size of these elixirs, I am afraid that they have been planted for at least a few years.

Elixir is an essential element for alchemy, but it can be left alone, but it is suddenly like a waste grass.

It's a terrible thing!

After picking a few not very valuable elixirs, Shangguan Xue'er continued to walk forward and came to a cave.

The cave is pitch black, but the air is very fresh, and it does not look like a long-abandoned place at all.

"What kind of existence is this Shangguan family?" Puzzled, she walked forward, her fingertips slowly running across the wall.

There seemed to be a bulge on the wall, but she couldn't see anything around the pitch black.

With a plan to find a torch and go up the hill later, she turned around and prepared to leave.

Bang!

There was the sound of bronze falling at his feet.

groping and squatting down, the next second her already excited palms began to tremble.

Furnace!

Picking up the furnace, she hurriedly ran to the mouth of the cave.

The harsh sunlight shone on the furnace, and the rusty traces of time left scars on the furnace.

Tearing off a piece of fabric from her clothes, she wiped it carefully.

"No matter, let's see if this stove can be used first!"

Taking out the elixir from her pocket, she searched for the memories of her previous life and lit the refining furnace step by step.

With the faint flame of fire, she stared at the black pill slowly emerging from the furnace.

"This ......" had a miserable look on her face, she never thought that the alchemy she was so proud of would condense such a mess.

"Could it be that I opened the furnace the wrong way? Or did the embroidery stains on the furnace affect the absorption of the elixir? ”

Tearing off a piece of fabric from her clothes, she wiped it carefully.

Hiss –

There was a sudden touch in her heart, and her heart throbbed a little.

"What's wrong?" Hurriedly clenched her chest, and the corners of Shangguan Xue'er's mouth turned pale.

Could it be that this furnace has something to do with the previous master?

Looking at the furnace in surprise, a tear fell unconsciously from the corner of her eye.

Crystal clear teardrops drew a bright line in the sunlight, and finally fell into the furnace with a click.

The rusty refining furnace, the moment the tears dropped, a purple light flashed in the furnace, and before Shangguan Xue'er could react, the light disappeared in an instant.

Surprised, she picked up the refining furnace and studied it left and right for a long time, and she looked dazed.

The feeling of distress disappeared with the light, and everything seemed to be just her illusion.

Putting away the refining furnace in confusion, Shangguan Xue'er quickly prepared a dormant medicine for her mother, the dampness and cold of the back mountain had already hollowed out her mother's body, if she didn't adjust it in time, she was afraid that there would be endless troubles.

With the help of meal time, Shangguan Xue'er secretly poured the medicinal powder into her mother's water cup.

In the silent back mountain, except for the tireless shouting, there is only the sound of the mother's deep sleep breathing beside her.

In the moonlight, Shangguan Xue'er sat alone by the window, staring at the tower-shaped mark on her wrist.
