Xu Qing's question stumped Xu Yang.
He was not a formally trained alchemist. He had merely judged from experience that something would go wrong with Leng Qiuyue's batch of pills. If asked to explain, he could not give any specifics.
"I just have a feeling the furnace might explode soon." Xu Yang shook his head.
Leng Qiuyue had not listened to him earlier. Saying anything now was pointless; this batch was bound to explode.
"Impossible. If you don't understand alchemy, don't talk nonsense. I've refined the Dragon-Tiger Profound Connection Pill several times already, and my furnace has never exploded."
When Leng Qiuyue heard Xu Yang say the furnace would explode, her expression immediately turned hostile.
This was not her first time refining the Dragon-Tiger Profound Connection Pill. She had even successfully produced a batch. She might have believed Xu Yang if he said this batch would fail, but an explosion was absolutely impossible.
Meanwhile, Xu Qing had already begun quietly backing away.
She never doubted Xu Yang's words. If he said it would explode, it definitely would.
"Let's hope my feeling is wrong."
Unable to explain the exact reason, Xu Yang did not argue with Leng Qiuyue. He turned, entered the quiet chamber, and sat down.
Boom!
Sure enough, before long, a muffled boom sounded outside, and the entire courtyard trembled slightly.
The furnace lid, weighing nearly two hundred jin, was blasted straight into the sky.
"You jinx!"
Light flowed over Leng Qiuyue's body as she suppressed the entire shock wave. She could not help blaming Xu Yang and his jinxing mouth.
Her furnace had never exploded in all her previous attempts, yet it exploded the moment Xu Yang said it would. It had to be his fault.
Xu Qing stepped through the air and caught the alchemy furnace overhead.
