3197 Punishment

“I brought some salty porridge and buns. The people in the kitchen said that the pork buns are made with spirit pork. I ate some earlier, and it was delicious. There’s also stuffed cake.” As he spoke he looked at Feng Jiu and asked: “Young Valley Master, is this enough? If it’s not enough I can go back and get some more.”

“It’s enough.” Feng Jiu smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch his face. Unsurprisingly, she left two black fingerprints on his face. She chuckled and washed her hands, then she asked: “You ate before you came over? That means you woke up before dawn?”

The little medicine boy nodded: “Yes, I wake up when the rooster crows.”

After she washed her hands, Feng Jiu put the items from the food box on the ground, then she sat down on the grass and started eating. She asked: “What’s your name?”

“My name is Tian Dong. I was picked personally by the Valley Master.”

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu glanced at him: “Oh, so you grew up here?”

“Yes, I grew up here. The people in the valley are very nice. The people in the kitchen often give me something to eat.” When he spoke of this, the little medicine boy had a happy smile on his face.

Feng Jiu nodded, but didn’t say anymore. She handed him the cake: “You eat this! I’ll be full after eating the porridge and buns.”

“But I’ve just eaten.”

“Then just keep it, and eat it when you’re hungry.” Feng Jiu finished eating the porridge and buns in no time and then asked: “I don’t know what I can let you help me with. Tell you what! You can bring me three meals a day. But if I’m refining pills, then you can’t disturb me.”

Tian Dong nodded upon hearing this: “Yes.”

After she had eaten, Feng Jiu tried again. First, she tried to control the balance of the flame. Logically speaking, she was already very proficient at controlling the balance of the flame, it was impossible to have any more accidents. After she had tried it out, she realised that the problem wasn’t in the balance of the flames but when the spirit herbs were thrown in.

This could be troublesome.

If it was a problem with the spirit herbs, how could she stop the spirit herbs from colliding with each other inside? This Beast-Shaping Pill was a seventh-order medicinal pill, but she hadn’t expected it to be so difficult to refine.

For two days in a row, she studied how to refine the Beast-Shaping Pill. But no matter whether she followed the steps on the prescription, or her own method of pill refining, she failed to refine the medicinal pill.

The three day deadline was fast approaching, and she still hadn’t made any progress.

When the third day came, the Pill King came over in gray clothes, with one hand stroking his beard, he walked over slowly, as if he had already expected that Feng Jiu wouldn’t be able to refine the Beast-Shaping Pill.

When he arrived in front of her, he glanced at the Pill Furnace that wasn’t even a little warm, then at Feng Jiu, who was sitting on the ground, and asked with a smile: “What’s wrong? Can you not refine it?”

Feng Jiu stood up and said: “I’d like to ask Master to give me some pointers.” She really didn’t know where her mistake was. She had refined seventh-order medicinal pills many times before, but she was just unable to refine this seventh-order Beast-Shaped Pill.

“Hehe, it’s not difficult to give you advice, but as for the punishment…” He stroked his beard and glanced at Feng Jiu.

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu glanced at him and asked: “How would Master like to punish disciple?” As soon as she had spoken, she saw his palm turn, and a pill appeared in his hand.

“Hehe, disciple, this has been prepared for you specially by your Master.” He said with a smile, then stepped forward with the medicinal pill: “Come, come, try it.”
