Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 32 - 24 The Alchemy Recipe that Scams People

In the alchemy room, Yue Jinghua used the three-flavor medicine bought from the nightclub to refine several furnaces of True Dark Pills. This time, the pill success rate had greatly increased; for every two furnaces of elixirs, ten pills could be produced.

After roughly refining three bottles of pills, Yue Jinghua stopped her work.

She must set out early today to attend the Royal Xuanji Academy. For the short term, she had no plans to continue refining True Dark Pills.

Firstly, the efficacy of such Elixir Pills was truly limited and ineffective upon second usage; secondly, she planned to continue harnessing the Creation Power in the coming days, attempting to refine the Star Fall Iron Ore.

"Miss," the voice of Hongling came from outside the house.

"Come in," Yue Jinghua retracted the Lotus Fire inside the Elixir Furnace.

Hongling pushed the door open, only to feel a wave of heat hitting her face, so she quickly brought up her Dark Energy.

Why was the alchemy room so unbearably hot? Even with Hongling's cultivation at the Small Success of Jade Dark Realm, she still felt as if she were suffering the fierce heat of summer amidst the residual heat of the Chaos Green Lotus Fire.

Yet looking at Yue Jinghua again, she saw that her complexion remained normal, as if the room's intense heat was but a figment of Hongling's imagination.

Miss, could it be that she had been hiding her true strength all these years? A startling thought instantaneously formed in Hongling's mind.

Recalling last night, amidst the night, her young mistress's commanding presence, as well as the words that gave Hongling an epiphany.

Deep down, Hongling was more convinced of this notion.

In the alchemy room, with a faint pill fragrance lingering, Hongling was greatly astonished: "Miss, have you been in the alchemy room refining pills all night?"

"It's a waste to have the Spirit Grass and the Elixir Furnace lying around, so I casually refined a few batches of pills," Yue Jinghua answered as if it were nothing out of the ordinary.

To just casually refine, and be able to make Elixir Pills? Hongling's pretty face showed an expression that was indescribably splendid.

"You've come just in time. Try this pill that I've refined," Yue Jinghua tossed a red Elixir Pill to Hongling.

Hongling's face stiffened slightly. Could she really consume this casually refined pill?

Biting her lip, Hongling closed her eyes resolutely and swallowed the pill.

The change within her Dantian caused Hongling to react instantaneously, and she sat down on the spot, beginning to meditate and circulate her Dark Skill.

In the haze, the voice of her mistress lingered in her ears: "Hongling, I will be enrolling in the Royal Xuanji Academy soon. I'll leave the matters of the Jingxin Courtyard to you. You are intelligent, and I believe the words from last night are etched in your memory. This Spirit Pill can elevate your rank by one step, I'll give you one more year to break through to Jade Dark. By that time, I will have mother return your servant contract, and as for whether you stay or leave, it's entirely up to you. You must keep today's events in the alchemy room a secret, not even my mother can be told a single word."

When Hongling opened her eyes again, the alchemy room was already empty; the mistress had left.

Her cultivation had risen by an entire rank to the Great Success Realm of Jade Dark.

The young mistress was a Pill Master, an extremely formidable one. She was no failure.

A blush spread across Hongling's face, and in her chest surged a pride she had never felt before. She must cultivate more rigorously and never again be a burden to her mistress as she had been this time.

In Yue Jinghua's chamber, Lie Rou prattled while packing her daughter's luggage.

The Royal Xuanji Academy, located in the suburbs of Polo City, was about half a day's ride from the city, where students lived on campus.

"Mother, here is some Gold Coin for you to keep, use it for our household expenses. It's tough for big brother living in the Dragon War Empire, so from now on, tell him not to send money to Lie Family Mansion anymore," The memory of "Yue Jinghua" contained Yue Minzhi, the eldest son of the Yue Family, a handsome eighteen-year-old youth, prudent in character, and extremely fond and protective of his sister "Yue Jinghua".

Every month, Yue Minzhi would entrust someone to bring a family letter and some household funds.

In the letter, much of the content is about inquiring into the daily life, diet, and living habits of his younger sister, showing that Yue Minzhi is a typical "sister complex".

"Jinghua, where did you get so much money?" Lie Rou roughly calculated that Yue Jinghua had given thousands of Gold Coins, which was no small sum.

"Mother, this money is clean, and you can use it with ease. I return to the mansion once a month, and you don't need to worry about money anymore. But remember, do not tell anyone in Lie Family Mansion about the source of this money, especially Lie Sisi," Lie Rou nodded, half-understanding. It seemed Jinghua wanted her to be wary of Lie Sisi, even though Jinghua had always been on good terms with Lie Sisi in the past.

With a loud "bang," an explosion sounded from somewhere within the mansion.

This was already the third explosion from night till dawn. Upon hearing the blast, the corners of Yue Jinghua's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

Inside the alchemy room of Lie Family Mansion, heat waves rolled as a high-quality Elixir Furnace burst apart, filling the entire room with ash.

Lie Sisi's bright eyes were bloodshot, her hair was disheveled, and she no longer had the pristine and untainted look of a noble lady. Her clothes were even more burnt and in disarray, and she was restlessly anxious. "Another failure, the third batch of pills already. How is it that nightclubs can refine Elixir Pills when I cannot? Clearly, they are three completely conflicting types of Spirit Grass, so how is it possible to refine Elixir Pills?"

Just the previous night, Lie Sisi obtained a precious Elixir Pill. Her Dark Energy made a breakthrough from Small Success of Jade Dark to the Great Success Realm, which should have been excellent news for her, given that she was going to participate in the academy competition in the latter half of the year.

However, Lie Sisi felt no joy whatsoever due to that alchemy recipe - the recipe that cost Lie Family Mansion a Second Rank sum of ten thousand Dark Pills to acquire from a nightclub auction.

The source of this c𝐨ntent is freeweɓnovēl.coɱ.

After obtaining that alchemy recipe last night, Lie Sisi was called into the alchemy room by her second grandfather.

Lie Changshun took out two True Dark Pills that could temporarily boost one's Dark Skill. The initial plan was to use one as a catalyst and bestow the other upon Lie Sisi.

Lie Sisi was initially dismissive, having never heard of such a miraculous Elixir Pill on the continent. However, the pill's evident effect with no side effects genuinely shocked her after she took it.

She even begged Lie Changshun earnestly to give her the second pill as well.

Unfortunately, the second True Dark Pill had no effect after being consumed.

That very night, Lie Sisi started refining pills.

Having achieved a pill success rate as high as 80% normally, Lie Sisi failed to produce even a single pill by morning, additionally ruining three Elixir Furnaces due to the fierce clashes of medicinal properties.

Gazing at the mess in the alchemy room, Lie Sisi's eyes were filled with unwillingness.

Today, she was scheduled to return to Xuanji Academy to resume her courses, meaning alchemy had to be put on hold.

"Miss, the carriage heading to Xuanji Royal Academy is ready," a house guard asked outside the alchemy room.

Lie Sisi's previously furrowed brows relaxed a bit: "Load my luggage into the carriage, and also, please invite my cousin Jinghua over. I want to go to the Academy with her."

When Yue Jinghua was summoned, servants from the second branch were busy moving various pieces of luggage into an extravagant carriage.

"Sister Jinghua, this will be your first time at Xuanji Academy, and you surely don't know the way. Let me take you there," Lie Sisi's ethereal face peeked out from the carriage window, warmly inviting her to journey together.

From food to supplies, Lie Sisi's expenses were ten times that of Yue Jinghua, not to mention the comfort level of the carriage.

"Then thank you, little sister," with "first-class" at her disposal, why settle for "economy class"? Yue Jinghua accepted without refusal and directly boarded the carriage.

In the instant that Yue Jinghua stepped onto the carriage, a fierce glint flashed in Lie Sisi's eyes.
