Poof!
Poof poof!
Another two sounds rang out in succession, like tiny firecrackers and fireworks bursting, with a slight and piercing noise emanating from the Pill Furnace.
Inside the Pill Furnace, only four pill embryos remained, struggling to maintain themselves, spinning continuously as the True Fire refined them, making them rounder and fuller.
The pills that burst did not go to waste; instead, droplets of medicinal liquid were extracted from them, continuously coating the surface of the remaining pills, slowly polishing them, smoothing over the pitted and bumpy imperfections, and fusing the medicinal properties.
This refinement lasted for several hours.
Even with Li Quanqing's cultivation, he felt a tinge of monotony and fatigue, though his mana output remained steady.
After all, he had never experienced the growth of an alchemist, had never understood the repetitive and tedious life of an alchemy apprentice day after day.
