When night fell, Ji Tianxing left the Elixir Hall and returned to Fengyun Courtyard.

He had already visited Ji Ke just now and had a long chat with Keke.

He was finally relieved to learn that Keke's life was safe and that he would be able to recover after another month of meditation and recuperation.

After returning to Fengyun Courtyard, he didn't dare to sleep and rest, and hurriedly entered the secret room to heal and cultivate.

The day after tomorrow is the end of the month, and when Han Qiaosheng is going to assess everyone's alchemy.

Ji Tianxing was locked up in the Batu Cave for more than ten days, unable to practice alchemy, and was already too far behind other disciples.

But even so, he was unwilling to give up the first monthly exam of Fengyun Academy, and still had to participate in the assessment the day after tomorrow.

The night passed quickly.

After a night of exercise and cultivation, Ji Tianxing's injuries recovered a lot, and his complexion also improved significantly.

The next morning, after he finished washing, he left Fengyun Courtyard and went to Tai'an Palace.

Although he hadn't been to Tai'an Palace for more than ten days, he was imprisoned in the Batu Caves, and he couldn't help himself.

Now that he has regained his free body, Han Qiaosheng's one-month deadline for punishing him to sweep the floor has not yet passed, of course he must follow the door rules and continue to go to Tai'an Palace to sweep the floor.

When the morning sun rose, Ji Tianxing came to the gate of Tai'an Palace.

The mute sword slave guarding the gate hadn't seen him for more than ten days, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw his figure.

Ji Tianxing could only explain to the sword slave, and then he was allowed to enter.

After entering Tai'an Palace, he consciously took a broom and bamboo basket to sweep away the dust and fallen leaves in the triple courtyard.

However, he had only been cleaning for a while before the door of the Dan room opened.

Xiang Wuji pushed open the door and walked out, standing under the eaves yawning and stretching, his white hair and beard still stained with medicine residue.

When he saw Ji Tianxing in the courtyard, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

After coming back to his senses, he scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, you haven't been sweeping the floor for half a month, why did you come back today?"

Ji Tianxing hurriedly bowed to him and explained the matter briefly.

After Xiang Wuji listened, the smile on his face became even more teasing, and he said with a smile: "Tsk, you kid is really unlucky!"

"You've only been in the sect for less than a month, and you've encountered so many troubles, and you've been locked up for half a month. ”

Ji Tianxing was speechless, only showing a wry smile on his face.

Xiang Wuji yawned again, and suddenly thought of something, so he beckoned to him and said, "Boy, since you haven't come to sweep the floor for half a month, you should do some work for the old man today." ”

"You don't have to sweep the floor, go to the Dan room to help the old man keep an eye on the medicine in the Dan furnace, don't make a mistake, otherwise the old man will beat you to death!"

"The old man has stayed up all night, and went back to his room to sleep for a while. ”

Anyway, he didn't care whether Ji Tianxing agreed or not, and went back to his room to sleep with his hands behind his back.

Ji Tianxing showed a helpless expression, so he could only put down the broom and bamboo basket and enter the Dan room to take care of the Dan furnace.

There are three Dan furnaces in the Dan room, and the one-person-high bronze Dan furnace in the middle is emitting curling green smoke.

There was a formation running at the bottom of the furnace, and the fierce true fire was constantly rising.

I don't know what medicinal herbs are put in the Dan furnace, and the curling smoke that comes out carries a strong aroma of grass and trees.

What Ji Tianxing has to do is very simple, he just needs to keep an eye on the Dan furnace to make sure that there are no accidents.

As long as the formation of the Dan Furnace does not stop, the true flame of alchemy will not be extinguished.

Ji Tianxing sat next to the Dan furnace and stared at the Dan furnace for a while, then he felt a little bored.

He looked around and saw a few old books on the table in the corner.

These books are all related to alchemy, and they are opened and placed on the table at random.

Ji Tianxing picked up one of the ancient books, and after reading a few pages, his face changed slightly, and a flash of joy flashed in his eyes.

"This ancient book is the profound knowledge of the Dan Dao, and the outer disciples can't touch it at all!"

"I didn't expect the old man to put these precious classics on the table so casually...... I'm going to watch more while he's sleeping, and it's hard to see it later. ”

So, he sat down at the table and carefully read the Dan Dao classics.

Time passed quietly, and before I knew it, half a day had passed.

Ji Tianxing finished reading the whole book, and he didn't feel hungry and sleepy.

After reading the complete classics of the Ben Dan Dao, his understanding of the way of alchemy became more profound, and many realizations and feelings arose in his heart.

Before, he still had many obscure and puzzled places about Dan Dao.

Now these problems have been solved, and it dawned on him.

Invisibly, his Dan Dao attainments and cognition have improved a lot.

At noon, Xiang Wuji was still sleeping in the room and never showed up.

Ji Tianxing put down the ancient books and began to ponder the content of tomorrow's monthly exam.

"Tomorrow is the monthly exam, and we have to refine the Lingyun Pill, the Qingyu Pill and the Heart Nourishing Pill. It's a pity that I haven't practiced yet, so there's a good chance of failure. ”

Thinking of this, he was a little anxious and worried.

Frowning and thinking for a while, he suddenly looked up at the idle brass furnace not far away, and then looked at the medicine cabinet around him.

A bold idea popped into his head.

"The old man has both a Dan furnace and a variety of medicinal herbs here, so it's better to ...... I'll borrow his pill room and try to refine those three pills?"

"Anyway, the old man is not bad-hearted, those three pills are only Yuan-level superlative, and the materials for alchemy are not very expensive and rare...... The old man wouldn't mind, would he?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ji Tianxing had the courage to start trying alchemy.

According to the recipes of the three pills, he gathered all the more than thirty kinds of materials in the medicine cabinet.

Then, he opened the formation of the Brass Dan Furnace and urged the True Yuan Fire to warm up the Dan Furnace.

When everything was ready, he began refining the Spirit Yun Pill.

In a fixed order, he put the twelve medicinal herbs into the Dan furnace in turn and began to refine them.

Unconsciously, half an hour has passed, and it is time for the Lingyun Pill to be baked.

However, when Ji Tianxing opened the lid of the furnace, he smelled a burnt smell.

After he opened the Dan furnace, he found that there was no pill in the Dan furnace, only a cloud of black ash.

"Uh...... The first time I tried alchemy, I failed!"

"It's good that no one saw it, otherwise it would be a shame. ”

Ji Tianxing was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly cleaned up the black ash in the Dan furnace.

However, Xiang Wuji didn't know when he came to the Dan room, and was leaning against the door, looking at him with a sneer on his face.

"The Danfang materials are right, and the refining steps are also wrong, but you forgot to control the fire!"

"You idiot, you only know how to read from the book, how can you successfully refine the elixir?"

Ji Tianxing's body suddenly shook, and he turned his head to look at the door.

Seeing Xiang Wuji, he hurriedly squeezed out a trace of an embarrassed smile, "Senior, why did you wake up and sleep a little longer?"

The sneer on Xiang Wuji's face was even worse, and he scolded angrily: "The old man can smell the smell of burnt paste from three rooms, how can he still sleep?"

"Hmph! The old man is only afraid that if he sleeps a little longer, you will burn all the old man's medicinal materials as firewood!"
