After successfully refining a batch of pills, Yi Shuyuan looked at the pills in his hand, his practical understanding of alchemy deepened yet again.
He also felt fortunate that he had not been greedy. Had he truly tried to push the ingredients to their limit before forming the pills, the remaining five would probably have exploded too.
Yi Shuyuan did not intend to put these pills away. Instead, he poured out another, and the radiance of the two pills in his hand echoed between them.
The next moment, the pills rose into the air. They were not trying to escape, however, but flew toward Huang Hongchuan and Old Pine.
"Thank you both for your efforts in helping me forge the furnace and refine these pills. Though these are not rare treasures, they are still hard to come by. Please accept them!"
He had used the blessed grounds of Broad South Mountain and asked them to put in considerable effort. Though they were on good terms, a gesture of thanks was still necessary.
"This... such a precious gift."
Facing the pill hovering before him, Old Pine hardly dared reach out, while Huang Hongchuan smiled and caught his pill directly in his palm.
"Then I would be discourteous to refuse! Even if I have no use for this pill now, keeping it on hand will surely prove useful someday!"
"Please don't stand on ceremony either, Old Pine. Pills are things that approach the Dao. This will be of great benefit to you as well."
Hearing Yi Shuyuan say this, Old Pine cupped the pill in both hands. Now freed from Yi Shuyuan's restraint, it seemed to tremble in his palms, and he hurriedly cast a spell to seal it.
"If you let this pill escape, you might never find it again!"
