1604 The Reason for the Low Success Rate (1)

Lu Zijia gritted her teeth. “Tell me, did you do it on purpose?”

The few alchemists whose furnaces exploded shrank their necks, looking very cowardly.

“Alchemist Lu, we really didn’t want the furnace to explode…” One of the alchemists whose furnaces exploded said with a long face.

Spiritual plants were so precious. How could they deliberately blow up the furnace? Alchemist Lu’s imagination was really over the top!

Lu Zijia pulled her ears a bit frustratedly and walked around the alchemists whose furnaces exploded a few times, quickly looking for the reason why these alchemists’ furnaces often exploded

In fact, apart from the fact that the chances of these alchemists’ furnaces exploding were very high, the chances of other alchemists’ furnaces exploding weren’t low either, including Duanmu Xing, the chief alchemist of the royal family.

The huge alchemy room was silent. All of them wished they were invisible and couldn’t be seen by Lu Zijia.

After a long time, Lu Zijia suddenly stopped in front of Duanmu Xing.

Even though Duanmu Xing was already at the age where he could be one’s great-grandfather, his heart couldn’t help but skip a beat.

If someone told him three months ago that he would treat a little girl like a mouse seeing a cat, he would definitely slap that person.

But now…

He had no choice. Ever since Lu Zijia went crazy more than two months ago, he still had lingering fears!

Other alchemists would at most scold others or smash things when they flew into a rage.

However, Lu Zijia actually deliberately attacked their furnaces with her mental power when they were refining pills, causing them to waste a lot of spiritual plants. Their hearts simply ached!

Ever since then, not to mention Duanmu Heng, even the alchemists, inscribers and array masters of the entire royal family were terrified of Lu Zijia.

She could be said to be the number one female demon in the palace!

“Alchemist Xing, please extend your hand for a moment,” Lu Zijia said to Duanmu Xing.

Duanmu Xing was puzzled in his mind, but he still obediently reached out his slightly withered hand.

When the other alchemists saw this, they couldn’t help but shed tears of sympathy for Duanmu Xing.

Duanmu Xing: “…” These little brats! Did they really think he didn’t see the gloating in their eyes because of his age?

Lu Zijia grabbed the pulse on Duanmu Xing’s wrist and said, “Alchemist Xing, relax. Don’t resist.”

As soon as she finished talking, Lu Zijia’s mental power entered Duanmu Xing’s mind through his veins.

Sensing that his sea of consciousness was invaded, Duanmu Xing subconsciously wanted to attack, but he stopped at the last moment.

Lu Zijia’s mental power quickly retreated, but her frown deepened.

There was nothing wrong with Duanmu Xing’s mental power. He could even refine mid-level Mystic Rank pills or even high-level Mystic Rank pills.

But why was the probability of the furnace exploding so high? That shouldn’t happen!

As for the handling of spiritual plants and the method of refining pills, after three months of repeated practice and comprehension, Duanmu Xing and the others basically had no problems now.

Otherwise, their alchemy skills wouldn’t have improved.

So, what was the problem?

Seeing Lu Zijia frown in distress, Duanmu Xing and the others couldn’t help feeling ashamed.

Without the guidance of a famous master, their alchemy skills were still bad, but with such an outstanding genius alchemist guiding them now, they didn’t improve much.

It could be seen that their alchemy skills were really bad, or they didn’t have the talent to refine pills at all.

Besides, because their alchemy skills didn’t improve much, there was actually a rumor outside that Alchemist Lu’s alchemy skills probably weren’t that good either.
