Chi Shuyan thought to herself, I tried, but I couldn’t get through.

“Brother Zhu, I called you earlier and couldn’t get through!”

Zhu Bocheng choked, then heard his cousin continue, “I’m almost out of spirit rice here. I’ll let you know when I have more next time. When the time comes, don’t turn off your phone!”

Zhu Bocheng’s face was filled with despair. If his mother knew about this, his parents would definitely kill him. He felt that his parents now cared more about the rice than him, and he often ate porridge leftovers. His cousin didn’t know what kind of life he had been living recently.

His mother used to love cooking, but now she loved cooking porridge the most. Every time she cooked porridge, the rice never covered the bottom of the pot.

He wanted to buy more rice to improve his life. Fortunately, he could still go out for a meal at any time, but most of the food outside wasn’t as good as what his mother made. It was also boring to go out and eat alone.

The two talked on the phone for a while, and Zhu Bocheng pretended to be pitiful in all sorts of ways. In the end, Chi Shuyan said that when she put up the second batch of spirit rice, Zhu Bocheng would definitely be the first to know, and only then did he drop the matter.

After hanging up, Chi Shuyan communicated with the person who posted the assignment in the group and asked him to describe the situation.

“Celestial Master Chi, it’s the daughter of a friend of mine. She’s almost 20 years old and has been in university for a year. She was originally fine, but ever since she went on a trip organized by the school a few months ago, she’s been acting strangely. No one noticed at first, but she started getting paler and had more wrinkles. She lost her appetite and spent every day sleeping. Now, she falls asleep for the whole day, only waking up for a few hours every now and then. When she wakes up, she says she’s already married and doesn’t want us to wake her up. It gave us the creeps listening to her. We’re more and more worried about this child now. We’re afraid that she’ll go to sleep one day and not wake up. We suspect that she’s possessed. We’ve tried all kinds of talismans, but nothing has worked. We’ve also found a few Celestial Masters before; they all said that she was possessed and that the spirit was too powerful for them to drive out!” the other party recounted in detail.

Chi Shuyan already had a guess in her heart, and typed on her phone, “I can’t be sure yet. I have to go and take a look first!”

“Okay, okay, okay… Celestial Master, when are you free?” the other party asked again.

The two arranged a time, and Chi Shuyan had the other party send her an address before they ended the conversation.

Chi Shuyan had received a huge order and was quite happy. Taking advantage of her free time, she prepared to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill.

She prepared the ‘pill furnace’ which she had found previously. It was called a pill furnace, but was actually an iron furnace. Chi Shuyan blushed a little with shame. She didn’t know if she could refine the pill successfully. If the iron furnace broke halfway and she wasted these herbs, she would vomit blood.

But this wasn’t a cultivation world. She had run all over the place today and had found the herbs with difficulty, but hadn’t been able to find a pill furnace. It was in an antique shop that she saw this slightly sturdier iron furnace.

She felt that she could give it a try.

She wasted a lot of money on this iron furnace. After Chi Shuyan calculated the amount of money she had spent today, she couldn’t help but feel pained.

Chi Shuyan was afraid that Qi Zhenbai would suddenly come back. Although it was impossible for him to come back in the middle of the day, she still returned to her room and cast a barrier. Then, she tried to inject her spiritual energy into the iron furnace bit by bit to make it stronger. After a long while, she pinched her fingertips together, and a white flame appeared under the iron furnace. Then, following the steps in the pill formula, she placed the herbs that had been washed and prepared inside one by one. Her left hand moved slightly under the furnace as she tried to distribute the heat evenly. Her other hand also wasn’t idle as she tried to send her spiritual energy into the iron furnace while she was refining. The smell of the herbs in the air was becoming more and more fragrant; she was about to succeed.

She was just about to condense the pill together, when she saw a sizable crack on the side of the iron furnace. Chi Shuyan’s pupils contracted.

Bang! The iron furnace suddenly exploded. Chi Shuyan cast an isolation spell, then swiftly picked up a container that was next to her to collect the liquid.
