In the top-floor attic of the Treasure Pavilion, Master Wang was carefully studying the Life Spirit Pill and Snow Frost Ointment. The precise Alchemy Equipment in his hands whirred and creaked, letting out puffs of green smoke from time to time.
Xue Qingshan stood silently to the side, his brows furrowing as he watched pill after pill being ruined.
"What? Even Master Wang can't figure it out?" Xue Qingshan asked pensively.
Master Wang's old face flushed red. He shook his head and sighed, "The formulas for these two medicines are novel, and the refinement techniques are quite unique. My abilities are insufficient to uncover their secrets."
"Is it really that difficult?" Xue Qingshan was astonished. One had to remember that Master Wang Jin was a Seventh-level Alchemist certified by the Alchemist Association.
Wang Jin smiled wryly. "It's much more difficult than I imagined. It looks like my only option is to make a trip back to the Alchemist Association."
