Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Pill King smiled and stroked his beard as he heard what they said. "Such a statement is premature at this time. Nobody knows whether she will pass or fail until the very last moment."

When the nineteen alchemists heard what he said, they looked at him and said, "Pill King seems to have high hopes for her. Pill King should keep in mind that she is only a woman and still very young. Does Pill King really believe she can make the prescription that nineteen of us compound and developed?"

"There's no point in talking about it; just watch and you'll find out soon enough." Pill King just smiled and didn't argue with them.

Feng Jiu, who was concocting the ointment, didn't listen to their conversation. Instead, she put all her focus on the prescription and the ointment. She failed the first time, but she still had time to study and explore slowly. She was sure that she would be able to make that ointment.

People around her were observing her. Because the process of making the ointment was visible to all, everyone witnessed her every movement in the first step. Consequently, her cautious addition of medicinal substances attracted the attention of the public.

They could not help but speculate that she might not be able to refine the ointment. In the end, it was a prescription developed over many years by nineteen alchemists. How could such a young woman, who had never worked with it before, concoct the ointment in such a short time?

But even though everyone thought it was impossible, Feng Jiu persisted in her efforts to perfect the ointment. Those people sat cross-legged on the ground; some of them cultivated, others fell asleep, and even the Pill King fell asleep while waiting.

The nineteen alchemists yawned with their eyes half-squinted. Their eyelids drooped as if they were asleep. As time passed, a strong medicinal scent permeated the air. The aroma jolted the slumbering crowd, resulting in their instantaneous awakening.

"What a strong medicinal fragrance!"

"This medicine has such a familiar scent!"

"Is this the scent of Muscle Regeneration Jasper Ointment? No, it doesn't seem right. It is even more fragrant and its medicinal scent is also richer."

More than a dozen alchemists rubbed their eyes one by one, looking at Feng Jiu in front of them. As the ointment she was decocting began to take shape, they noticed its intense medicinal aroma and translucent green colour reminiscent of jasper.

"This, this…"

"She, she made the Muscle Regeneration Jasper Ointment by decoction?"

"That's not right! How come her plaster looks better than the ones we made? The spirit energy breath that hovers above the decocted medicine is also extremely rich and pure. This isn't how it's supposed to be..."

"Did she upgrade the Muscle Regeneration Jasper Ointment? Is this an enhanced version?" Another alchemist overheard what his peer was saying, and he looked at the ointment that Feng Jiu was with an incredulous look.

"Is this possible?"

"This is made according to the prescription. How could the prescription be changed? Did she make some mistakes during the process?" Some of them didn't think Feng Jiu could actually make the ointment, let alone improve upon its already quality.

The nearby Pill King smiled, his eyes narrowed to a line. "Pretty good. She's worthy to be my chosen disciple."

When they heard this, the nineteen alchemists' cheeks flushed. They looked at Pill King and asked, "Pill King, has she really upgraded the Muscle Regeneration Jasper Ointment?"
