Wait... Can It Succeed Even If the Furnace Explodes?

Mu Xiaoqi was completely dumbfounded...

Not only did Mu Bai and the others feel ashamed, do you think Mu Xiaoqi herself didn't feel ashamed?

Mu Xiaoqi never dreamed that refining the Blood Pill today would end in a furnace explosion!

Moreover, those present today are not only from the Vast Heaven Holy Land, but also countless big shots from all sides!

So this isn't just a matter of internal embarrassment anymore; it'll probably be known worldwide very soon!

What happened to how invincible your Muyue Kingdom's alchemy was?

Every day, Mu Bai is all about Versailles, he's so smug!

But what happened today? How could your furnace explode while you were refining elixirs?

You should know that this is the first time we've refined this Blood Pill!

Normally, failing to refine any pills on your first try is nothing to be ashamed of!

After all, creating a pill from scratch requires countless failures, even the failures of several generations, before any small breakthroughs can be achieved!

So if today, after the alchemy process is finished and the furnace is finally opened, it turns out the pills inside have failed!

Then no one will laugh at Mu Xiaoqi, and even Mu Bai and the others will come up to comfort Mu Xiaoqi.

After all, it's normal for creating new pills to fail. Even if you find the most skilled alchemy master, he won't think there's anything wrong with Mu Xiaoqi.

The problem is, it's not just a failure, it's a total disaster!

An oven explosion and failure are two different concepts!

Failure is due to imperfections in the formula or refining method; failure is normal!

But what is a deep fryer?

The furnace explosion indicates a problem with your entire pharmaceutical refining process!

The former is an objective factor, while the latter is a subjective factor.

So look at Mu Bai right now, he's really so angry he's pissed himself!

Not to mention Mu Bai, even the little sunflower on the Grand Elder's face had disappeared, although the Grand Elder looked calm.

But everyone knew that the Grand Elder was also very angry in this state!

Therefore, even the elders of the Vast Heaven Holy Land were hesitant to speak up and offer advice at this moment.

After all, everyone knows the Grand Elder's temperament. Don't be fooled by how cheerful he's been these past few years; it's because he's been managing the sect less, so he's delegated many things to Ma Liang and isn't asking questions or worrying about them as much.

But if the Grand Elder really gets angry, even if the Holy Lord Gu Mingchao stands up, he will be spitting in his face!

Just as everyone was trembling with fear, Chu Xinghe jumped out. "Mu Bai, step back! What nonsense are you spouting? I was the one who ultimately decided on the pill formula... I also directed Xiaoqi's entire refining process. Is there anything wrong with Xiaoqi's technique?"

It has to be said that upon hearing Chu Xinghe's words, not only the big shots of Vast Heaven Holy Land, but even Cheng Xiaotian and the others couldn't help but nod in agreement!

Everyone says that Chu Xinghe is responsible; no matter what trouble his disciples cause, Chu Xinghe is always willing to step forward and take the blame!

But those were just rumors. Today, a group of bigwigs from all sides actually witnessed it with their own eyes!

To be honest, given the current situation, Cheng Xiaotian said that this isn't the first time something like this has happened in our Martial Emperor City!

For example, when something wasn't done well, Cheng Xiaotian angrily punished his disciples, even Zheng Yu had to stand obediently to the side!

At most, Zheng Yu would find Cheng Xiaotian afterward to explain some reasons. In this way, although the punished disciple was punished at the time, the sect would usually compensate him for it later!

There's no way around it... what's the point of having a trusted confidant?

Sometimes, trusted confidants really are just scapegoats!

For example, if Zheng Yu and his men cause any trouble, in this situation, Zheng Yu doesn't even need to say anything; his trusted confidants will definitely jump out to help Zheng Yu take the blame immediately!

Even though he suffered a severe punishment, Zheng Yu will definitely make it up to him in the future!

But today, faced with Mu Xiaoqi's explosion, Chu Xinghe didn't choose to avoid the limelight; instead, he directly stepped forward!

Chu Xinghe then meticulously repeated all the techniques he had instructed Mu Xiaoqi to perform!

Finally Chu Xinghe spoke up, "Elder, if there's any problem with the furnace exploding during this refining process, it should all be Xinghe's fault. Xiaoqi was merely following my method; what crime has Xiaoqi committed?"

"Therefore, everything that has happened today is entirely my doing, Chu Xinghe's doing. Whether it succeeds or fails, it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

Chu Xinghe looked very serious at this moment!

Chu Xinghe was overjoyed!

Damn it... I thought that failing to refine pills today was the end of it all, but I never expected that under my control, Chu Xinghe, not only did it fail, but the furnace even exploded on the spot!

This is an unexpected bonus!

Today, I, Chu Xinghe, will accept everything. What if the First Elder punishes me?

Wouldn't that be making a killing on the spot?

Whether Chu Xinghe was excited or not was unknown, but Mu Xiaoqi was looking at her senior Senior Brother Xinghe with a deeply moved expression!

To be honest, Mu Xiaoqi had blown up the oven many times, but Mu Xiaoqi knew that the oven blown up in the past was completely different from the oven blown up today!

No matter how embarrassing it is for a disciple to do something behind closed doors at home, that's a family matter of our Vast Heaven Holy Land!

Just like Chu Cheng, why does the Vast Heaven Holy Land absolutely refuse to let outsiders see Chu Cheng?

Even after Chu Cheng made his move, and the entire Four Continents were discussing it, the Vast Heaven Holy Land still didn't let Chu Cheng leave even a step!

That makes sense!

Chu Cheng is inside our Vast Heaven Holy Land, so don't worry about what he does... We're used to Vast Heaven Holy Land, aren't we...

But if we let him go, what will become of the reputation of the Vast Heaven Holy Land?

The same applies today!

The Grand Elder didn't know what Mu Xiaoqi was thinking, but he also realized that Xinghe was right!

All the actions today seemed to be carried out by Mu Xiaoqi, but in fact, Xinghe was directing them from behind the scenes. However, the explosion of the furnace was so embarrassing that the Grand Elder was also angry.

Now that Xinghe has taken the initiative to step forward, although the Grand Elder is still angry, it's unlikely that he will actually punish Xinghe!

What the hell? Why is Mu Xiaoqi punished, but Xinghe isn't?

The Grand Elder responded, "How can they be the same?"

Xinghe is truly risking his life to build our Vast Heaven Holy Land!

What was Xinghe doing while Mu Xiaoqi was slacking off every day?

Xinghe is doing everything he can to build up our Vast Heaven Holy Land. Which of the various resources our Vast Heaven Holy Land earns isn't directly or indirectly related to Xinghe?

Xinghe isn't a god; it's normal for him to make mistakes sometimes, isn't it?

Just as the Grand Elder remained silent, Elder He stepped forward!

"It's just a furnace explosion, what alchemist hasn't had one? Besides, this is about creating a new pill... Furnace explosions are normal, Mu Bai, what are you all standing there for... Hurry up and clean up the Vermilion Bird Furnace!"

At this moment, Elder He stepped in to smooth things over, Mu Bai naturally led his men to get moving as well!

"If the pill failed, it failed. We'll just try again next time... Alright, alright..." Elder He continued to smooth things over.

Just as Elder He was about to change the subject, a sudden exclamation came from Mu Bai's side!

"What's going on with the Vermilion Bird Furnace?!"

As Mu Bai shouted, everyone's eyes turned towards the Vermilion Bird Furnace!

The next second, everyone realized that the Vermilion Bird Furnace did not show any of the changes that should have occurred after an explosion!

You should know that if a pill-refining furnace malfunctions, it will explode and shatter into pieces!

Even if a top-tier alchemy furnace doesn't explode into pieces, it will generally suffer some damage!

This will have a huge impact on the lifespan and various abilities of the alchemy furnace!

Only top-tier alchemy furnaces like the Vermilion Bird Furnace could possibly have minimal impact after an explosion!

Even if the impact is small, there will still be subtle changes. Therefore, in this case Ouyang Ming still needs to come out and make some repairs before the Vermilion Bird Furnace can be completely restored to normal!

Therefore, although the Vermilion Bird Furnace will not break after the explosion, theoretically it will still suffer very minor damage. In addition to the damage, the Vermilion Bird Furnace should theoretically become black after the explosion.

Just as Elder He said, the dark stuff outside should be cleaned up immediately!

Otherwise, it will also affect the alchemy furnace!

But at this moment, when Mu Bai and his disciples were about to clean the Vermilion Bird Furnace, they discovered that the Vermilion Bird Furnace was still standing there, glowing red, without any signs of turning black!

This left everyone present somewhat bewildered!

"The furnace lid is still closed?" Mu Bai checked it and noticed something was wrong!

The lid of the Vermilion Bird Furnace Burner was not opened?

Logically speaking, even if there are no broken parts after the Vermilion Bird Furnace explodes, the furnace lid should still be opened normally!

But why is the stove lid still on?

Mu Bai stepped forward blankly and opened the furnace lid, but the moment the lid was opened, a medicinal fragrance suddenly gushed out from the furnace!

Not only was there a medicinal fragrance, but wisps of purple mist also appeared along with it!

The audience. "???"

All the alchemists in the room were completely dumbfounded...

Who the hell has ever seen a medicinal smell emanate after an explosion?

I've never even heard of that!

Let alone them, Chu Xinghe said you probably wouldn't believe it if I told you...

I've never seen anything like this before...

Doesn't this explosion mean the pills inside the alchemy furnace just explode?

What's the meaning of the lingering medicinal aroma after the explosion?

Just when everyone was almost completely dumbfounded, the Grand Elder spoke up, "Mu Bai, see if there are any Blood Pills inside?"

Upon hearing the Grand Elder's instructions, Mu Bai hurriedly entered the alchemy furnace to search, but soon Mu Bai raised his head and shook his head at the Grand Elder!

The meaning is very clear: there are no Blood Pills inside!

But just as the Grand Elder was slightly disappointed, he saw Mu Bai grab something from inside the Vermilion Bird Furnace, and the next moment, he dug out clumps of black, ointment-like stuff from the Vermilion Bird Furnace!

As these black ointments appeared, a fragrant medicinal aroma filled the entire Medicine King Palace!

Everyone knew that the medicinal fragrance must have come from these black ointments!

Mu Bai held the black ointment with a blank expression, and finally subconsciously licked it with his tongue!

But in that instant, Mu Bai froze on the spot!

The next second, Mu Bai's eyes widened, and he seemed to mutter to himself, "This... seems... to have succeeded?"

The audience. "???"

Chu Xinghe: "????????"

No... it can even explode in the oven?
