Ms. Doctor Divine



However, the current situation seemed to be different.

There was a noticeable scarcity of magical weapons and enchanted armaments being auctioned. Lingyun inquired about this and discovered that it had become a common occurrence in recent times. Moreover, everyone was desperately trying to bring their magical weapons and enchanted armaments into Haitian's market, even if it meant going bankrupt. Rumors circulated that the small market was on the verge of running out of magical weapons, suggesting that they would soon be up for auction.

This unusual development raised Lingyun's concerns. It felt like a sign before a storm, an unsettling premonition.

Lingyun contemplated whether she should share her worries with Elder Miss. However, she realized that these were merely her own speculations. Furthermore, it had been several years since she and Wuxing had last visited Haitian, so she couldn't be certain if any significant changes had occurred during that time.

Choosing not to burden Gu Chaoyan with her uncertainties, Lingyun simply nodded and said, "Indeed, only two, and we must secure them since we don't know when the next auction will be held."

Gu Chaoyan acknowledged Lingyun's words, indicating her understanding of the situation. With a slightly reassured expression, Lingyun departed to take a well-deserved break.

After pondering for a while, Gu Chaoyan recalled a book she had read in the space that detailed various pill refining methods. She decided to choose one pill to refine for future use.

Filled with determination, Gu Chaoyan couldn't sit idly any longer. She swiftly turned around and entered the space, preparing herself to create a new batch of pills.

This particular batch of pills proved to be much more challenging than her previous attempts. As it was her first time refining this specific type of pill, she couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Sweat formed on her forehead as she worried about whether she would succeed in producing them to the desired standard.

Several hours passed, and finally, the pills began to take shape.

Gu Chaoyan let out a relieved sigh. However, she refrained from fully relaxing just yet. The pills were not yet fully formed, and she couldn't be certain if they had turned out well.

Huang Fu arrived and assisted her in retrieving the pills.

Smiling, Huang Fu remarked, "You refined ten pills, and I must say, you have remarkable talent. It's quite extraordinary that you were able to successfully produce eight out of ten pills on your first attempt."

As he spoke, he handed the pills over to Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan was astonished as well. She gazed at the eight immaculate white pills emitting a delicate fragrance. There were eight of them, and their quality was exceptional.

Actually, while refining the pills, Gu Chaoyan had mentally prepared herself for a lower success rate. She believed that even if she could produce just half of the pills, it would still be considered good. However, the outcome exceeded her expectations.

She attributed the success not only to the high-quality herbs in the cultivation field but also to her mastery over the furnace. The furnace worked flawlessly, and she was able to control the fire with precision.

"Master, where did you acquire this furnace?" Gu Chaoyan asked, her curiosity piqued.

Huang Fu gazed at the furnace for a moment, lost in thought. Gu Chaoyan had forgotten that the furnace originally belonged to her. In the beginning, she struggled with alchemy until she spent five years honing her skills in the alchemy room. It was evident that she had dedicated a great deal of effort to perfecting her pill-making techniques.

"This pill furnace…" Huang Fu began, his voice trailing off.
