Chapter 2996: There Was Hope for the Heavens-Mending Pill!
Refining the soul-nourishing pill was no easy task, after all, it directly targeted the soul itself.
Ning Shu didn’t know how much time had passed. She only knew that night had fallen and risen again multiple times.
Her eyes were bloodshot, and the urge to collapse and rest was overwhelming.
But the fragrance of the pill emanating from the furnace instantly revived her spirits.
Just by inhaling the medicinal fragrance, Ning Shu felt incredibly soothed.
As the fragrance spread, Ning Shu didn’t rush to take the pills out. She allowed them to incubate slowly.
Outside, Yu Xiongfeng, who had been keeping watch, caught the scent. His eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist before slamming it into his palm.
Excellent—this meant there was hope for the heavens-mending pill!
The thought that Yu Linglong could start cultivating again made Yu Xiongfeng genuinely happy.
Even though Yu Liuli was his favorite son’s daughter, having her around caused turmoil for the Yu family.And there was still doubt as to whether the current Yu Liuli was truly Yu Liuli.
Ning Shu’s heart surged with joy like tender sprouts breaking through the soil. It was time to open the furnace.
She lifted the furnace lid, and the medicinal fragrance became even more intense. Six perfectly round pills lay at the bottom, faintly emitting steam.
Quickly, Ning Shu collected the pills into a bottle and popped one into her mouth.
As soon as the soul-nourishing pill entered her mouth, it transformed into a warm current that flowed through every corner of her body.
A cool sensation immediately merged into her soul, so soothing that she almost felt like she was floating on clouds.
The faint pain she had been enduring gradually faded away.
A smile spread across Ning Shu’s lips—she hadn’t felt this invigorated in a long time.
Her eyes sparkled with vitality, showing no trace of exhaustion from the past few days of effort.
Ning Shu opened the door, squinting against the bright light outside. Yu Xiongfeng quickly approached her.
“Did it succeed?” he asked eagerly.
Ning Shu nodded. “The pill I needed is ready. I’ll rest for a bit, then start on the heavens-mending pill.”
“Yes, take a good rest. Refining pills is exhausting work,” Yu Xiongfeng replied.
Ning Shu went to the room Yu Xiongfeng had arranged for her to rest.
Now feeling rejuvenated, she decided to test herself against the small orb in her spiritual consciousness.
She unleashed her mental and soul power, intending to envelop the orb.
The orb quivered slightly and directly repelled her power.
With a pfft, Ning Shu spat out a mouthful of blood, her soul feeling like it was being torn apart.
Hurriedly, she swallowed another soul-nourishing pill. The pill began to repair her soul, and the excruciating pain gradually subsided.
It seemed that long-term preparations would be necessary for dealing with this.
Ning Shu opened the door and said to Yu Xiongfeng, “Please help me find more materials for the soul-nourishing pill. For every batch I refine, I’ll make another type of pill for you.”
“In the future, if the Yu family needs any pills refined, I’ll do my best to help.”
Yu Xiongfeng nodded. “I’ll do my utmost, but the materials for the soul-nourishing pill are extremely rare.”
Ning Shu cracked her neck and got ready to refine the heavens-mending pill for Yu Linglong.
With the success of the soul-nourishing pill, refining the heavens-mending pill this time was much easier.
Plus, with her spirit replenished, the process went much more smoothly.
When the pill finally formed, faint pill patterns appeared on its surface.
Only high-quality pills would bear such patterns.
Even better, this batch yielded eight pills.
Ning Shu was overjoyed—her alchemy skills had improved yet again.
Her efforts to learn alchemy from the kelp hadn’t been in vain!
She felt a deep sense of satisfaction. Even more gratifying was how these skills had repeatedly helped her escape crises.
The heavens haven’t let her down!
Ning Shu placed the still steaming hot heavens-mending pills into a jade bottle. Yu Linglong had hope now.
