*BOOM*
“Cough… Cough…” Chen Li was shocked after his alchemy furnace exploded.
“You lost control over your fire, Chen Li.” Xiao Huoli sighed softly and spoke to him again. “You can try concocting the pill again, but you must succeed in concocting the pill before all herbs are used up, or I will ask Sister Hei to use her curse on you if you fail.”
“Hehe, I would definitely be happy to do so, Master.” Xiao Hei chimed in as she laughed evilly.
Xiao Kong’er also said to him. “If you don’t want to experience Little Hei’s curse, then you have to try hard, Little Master.”
“You three are really evil, you know?” Chen Meiyi spoke as she shook her head. “However, I agree with their idea, so you must not fail, Li’er.”
As for Xiao Jianyi, she wasn’t too interested in whether Chen Li would succeed or fail, and she would rather have him practice swordsmanship rather than alchemy. ｂｎ𝚘ｖ𝚕．𝚘𝚛𝚐
‘I’ll teach you guys a lesson later!’ Chen Li cursed in his heart, but Xiao Huoli stuck out her tongue at him, and he immediately tried to concoct the pill again.
For several minutes, they continued to watch Chen Li perform his alchemy, but Xiao Huoli suddenly shook her head and let out a soft sigh, making the other spirit women laugh.
Just as they expected, ten minutes later, Chen Li’s alchemy furnace exploded once again.
*Boom*
“Your mental power wavering makes you fail! Try again!”
Twenty minutes later, a third explosion sounded in their ears.
*Boom*
“Try again!”
An hour later
*Boom.. Boom..*
“Try again!”
Explosions continued to be heard for the next few hours because Chen Li repeatedly failed in concocting the pill, and the spirit women felt that he would not succeed, especially since there were only a few batches of herbs left.
However, their thoughts were wrong because Chen Li became even more focused on his alchemy, and he didn’t even feel their presence; there was only his alchemy furnace in his sight.
Xiao Huoli heaved a sigh of relief and smiled in satisfaction after she saw Chen Li’s expression. ‘I knew it! He actually has the talent to be an alchemist, but the problems in his mind were too many, so he had difficulty concentrating before. But now he has regained his full concentration, and I’m sure he will definitely succeed in concocting the pill.’
Several hours later, as Xiao Huoli had previously expected, the pill fragrances leaked out from within Chen Li’s alchemy furnace and filled the air.
“After he failed dozens of times, he finally almost completed the pill.” Xiao Huoli commented as she nodded in satisfaction.
“Haha.” Chen Meiyi laughed softly when she heard that. “Li’er was afraid of Xiao Hei’s curse, so he tried hard not to fail.”
“However, Little Master’s concentration is truly extraordinary, and he still has a lot of time ahead to polish his skills further, so I think he might be able to surpass Little Houli in the future.” Xiao Kong’er spoke as she looked at Chen Li tenderly.
Xiao Hei shook her head after hearing that. “Old pervert! Our master may not only be able to surpass Huoli, but he may be able to reach that woman’s alchemy level.”
“Humph!” Xiao Jianyi snorted while listening to them instead. “Instead of him focusing on alchemy, it would be better if he focused on his sword path.”
Hearing that, the four women turned to Xiao Jianyi, but they could only shake their heads because there was only swordsmanship in her mind.
Suddenly, Xiao Huoli turned to Chen Li again, and her smile instantly bloomed. “It’s here! The pill is finished!”

After he received all the notifications, Chen Li breathed a sigh of relief and opened the furnace, and he smiled with satisfaction at the pills he had concocted.
Xiao Huoli took the first look into the furnace, but she was really shocked to see the pills, especially since Chen Li managed to concoct five peak-grade pills in one furnace.
Chen Meiyi, Xiao Kong’er, and Xiao Hei were also shocked when they saw the five pills, and they looked at Chen Li like a freak. After all, he had just learned alchemy and failed dozens of times, but he actually succeeded in concocting such high-level pills.
“Why are you guys looking at me like that?” Chen Li asked with a look of confusion.
Xiao Huoli sighed and shook her head. “This is the first time I’ve seen a novice alchemist successfully concoct peak-grade pills. Moreover, not just one pill, but five pills.”
“Huoli is right, Little Master.” Xiao Kong’er said as she nodded in agreement. “You have broken the image of novice alchemists, and you are the first novice alchemist to successfully concoct peak-grade pills.”
“Hahaha!” Chen Meiyi laughed contentedly as she sat on her little brother’s lap, and she then hugged his neck and briefly kissed his lips. “You are truly a genius, Li’er!”
Xiao Hei then speaks to him. “Master, if you can maintain your previous concentration and learn alchemy more deeply, I believe you will be able to reach that woman’s level of alchemy.”
“Hmm? Do you mean the alchemy goddess?” They nodded at him, but Chen Li immediately shook his head. “I’m still a novice alchemist, and she’s already at the pinnacle of alchemy. So it’s too early for you to say that I can reach her level, and I still have a lot to learn to reach her level.”
They smiled at his words, and Xiao Huoli said. “Anyway, since you succeeded in concocting rank-two pills, you are now officially a Master Alchemist, and you can use all the rest of the herbs to make yourself more familiar with alchemy.”
“I know.” Chen Li nodded to him; he then stored the five pills into the system storage, and he immediately started alchemy again.
Unlike before, Chen Li was completely concentrated on just his alchemy process, and he didn’t think about anything else. After another six hours, he used up all the herbs, and the result was another fifteen peak-grade pills, and he did it without any failure.
“I can’t believe it! After he succeeded in concocting it once, he never failed again.” Xiao Huoli was really amazed to see Chen Li’s concoction pills.
Chen Meiyi looked at her little brother with sparkling eyes. “I think it’s about time I taught him my Nine Golden Needles Acupuncture.”
“Do you really want to teach him your special technique?” Xiao Hei asked her in surprise.
Chen Meiyi nodded to him. “After all, Li’er also has light qi, and he is talented in several things, so I think it won’t be a problem if I teach the technique to him, and he might become the best physician as well in the future.”
“I think that’s a great idea.” Xiao Kong’er replied with a nod of approval. “If Little Master masters more abilities, they will be of great benefit to him, especially when he goes to realms higher than the Seven Moon Realm in the future.”
However, Xiao Jianyi suddenly complained to them. “Big Sisters! If you keep teaching him new things, then his progress on the sword path will be disrupted! He- Ouch!”
Xiao Jianyi instantly groaned in pain as Xiao Kong’er pulled her ears and rubbed her head vigorously. “Hey, Little Jianyi! I know you want Chen Li to be skilled in swordsmanship, but he also needs other skills to take care of himself, and Xiao Guang’s medical techniques will be very useful for him.”
“Moreover, Chen Li is always serious in everything he does, so you don’t need to worry about that, and I’m sure he will also become a great swordsman in the future.” Xiao Huoli added as she shook her head at her little sister.
Hearing that, Xiao Jianyi wore a sullen look. “Tch! You all have too much confidence in him! I’m not sure he can master so many things at once! He should learn everything gradually, starting with improving his skills in the sword path!”
Xiao Hei and the others could only sigh at Xiao Jianyi’s words, but they also couldn’t blame her, especially since she was the Spirit of Sword, so she placed more importance on the sword path than anything else.
After Chen Li opened his eyes, Chen Meiyi immediately said to him. “Li’er, you have been here for several days, and Xian’er told me that Wen Xia wants to see you, so you should leave and go see her.”
“However, before you go out, you should swallow the Soul Cleansing Pill first, so your soul will become better and more resistant to certain things.” Xiao Huoli reminded him directly.
Before Chen Li swallowed the pill, Chen Meiyi directly touched his forehead and shared the Nine Golden Needles Acupuncture with him; she also explained everything to him.
After everything was settled, Chen Li went to check on Mayumi Keiko, who was still sleeping soundly, and he immediately left Tianyi Realm afterward.

However, Chen Li went to check on the Long Sisters first, but he found them asleep in their room. After that, immediately cleaned his body and left his mansion, but the two female angels decided to go with him.
