After that, Feng Wu went back to the refinement room.

Maybe her prayer worked, because she felt much calmer this time.

She added the precise amount of ingredients into the furnace.

She was acutely aware of when the ingredients took effect.

Her calculations had never been so fast when she combined the ingredients.

…

Maybe her beautiful master had blessed her, because the refinement lasted until the fourth day.

Feng Wu had gotten very little sleep during the past ten days.

She was exhausted, but her eyes were surprisingly bright.

They reminded one of the sky outside.

She had reached the final moment.

All the dregs had been filtered, and the dense liquid was about to condense into a pill.

This was the critical moment.

Emperor Wu was already outside.

Master Chu and Master Gao were by his side.

All their eyes were on the door of the refinement room.

“It’s been ten days. Are you sure she’s still working on the pill?”

Emperor Wu also seemed tired.

Needless to say, things weren’t going too well with Jun Linyuan.

Master Chu was very certain. “Your Majesty, Miss Feng Wu is still working on the pill.”

“However, she has failed twice, and this is the third attempt. She hasn’t slept much, has she?”

Master Chu nodded.

Emperor Wu said, “That won’t do. She’ll collapse. Maybe she has passed out already.”

He wanted Master Chu to open the door, but he still had a little hope left.

What if…

What if the girl succeeded?

With the pill, Jun Linyuan’s injury could be healed.

After that, Night Owl wouldn’t be his match.

Master Chu said, “Your Majesty, I can sense the heat in the room, so the furnace is still working.

“The heat is sometimes strong and sometimes weak, which means somebody is controlling the fire.

“Just then, the heat started to fade.

“She’s probably at the critical stage of condensing the pill.

“If we force the door open, Miss Feng Wu’s efforts will go to waste. She’ll collapse!”

Master Gao said, “Your Majesty, why don’t we wait for a moment?”

Emperor Wu couldn’t make up his mind.

He asked the other two men, “Do you think Feng Wu can succeed?”

Master Chu sighed. “It’s almost impossible.”

Master Gao said, “Maybe there’s a little hope.”

Emperor Wu said, “I don’t think there’s any hope.”

The other two men looked at him.

Emperor Wu smiled bitterly. “Have you forgotten about how she defeated the Military Academy? Her level was revealed then, and she’s a Level 2 Spiritual King now.

“She only recovered her cultivation ability a year ago and had to start as a Level 1 Spiritual Master. It only took her a year to become a Spiritual King.

“Do you realize how many levels she has risen during this time?

“Spiritual Master, Spiritual Grandmaster, Spiritual Elder, Spiritual Lord, and Spiritual King!

“It would take other people decades to achieve that, and she only spent a year on it. That shows how hard she has worked.”
