The news that Nalan Lan, a talented girl from the Nalan family, was expelled from the Imperial Academy quickly spread throughout the entire capital, causing waves of waves, and everyone in the streets and alleys was discussing this matter.
Nalan's house.
In the main hall, Patriarch Nalan sat on the seat, two elders sat on one side, and the others sat on both sides.
In the middle of the room, Nalan Lan was kneeling on the ground in a blue dress, with her head bowed, her long hair hanging down from the back of her head, covering her cheeks.
Nalan Qi knelt aside, looked at the nearly stalemate anger in the room, and said, "Father, I don't blame my sister for this matter, it's all about Sima Youyue, if it wasn't for her, my sister wouldn't have been expelled from the academy!"
"You still dare to talk!" Nalan He put the tea cup in his hand on the table, looked at Nalan Lan and Nalan Qi who were kneeling, and scolded: "Obviously knowing that these things can't be done in the academy, You still do it, and now you are expelled, you will lose face to my Nalan family!"
Nalan Lan lowered her head and said nothing.
"Patriarch, Lan'er didn't want to be like this. I thought that the trash would be killed if she was killed, but I didn't expect her to come back alive." The elder said, "Lan'er also wanted to hit that old Sima Lie. Guy, when that trash disappeared, we did take the opportunity to attack the Sima family."
"That's right, Patriarch, Lan'er is very talented. Without the academy, our Nalan family can't train younger generations?" Another elder also spoke for Nalan Lan.
"But being expelled from the academy, how much shame did the family suffer?! This has to be punished, and now I will punish you to go to the ancestral hall to face the wall and repent for three months, and reflect on yourself!" The daughter excused herself, felt relieved, and gave Nalan Lan a mild punishment.
Nalan Lan kowtowed to the front, got up and left. From the time she came back to the time she left, she didn't say a single word. Others thought she was hit by this incident, but her drooping eyes burst out with strong hatred and killing intent. She secretly thought that when she came out of the ancestral hall, she must Take the life of that trash!
After Nalan Lan left, the Great Elder waved away all the juniors, and they didn't need to participate in the following words.
"Patriarch, this Sima family is going to tear themselves apart with us this time!" said the second elder.
"The Sima family has humiliated us so much this time, we must repay them well!" Nalanhe said through gritted teeth, "It happened that when I went to see my ancestor yesterday, he also said that the Sima family should be cleaned up as soon as possible. Then we will start closing Internet cafes.”
Hearing that this was what the ancestor meant, both the First Elder and the Second Elder nodded in agreement.
The Sima family has always wanted to suppress their Nalan family, this time they must take down the Sima family.
As a result, the struggle between the two families has moved from the secret to the surface. No matter what field it is in, the two families have a tendency to fight to the death.
Sima Youyue also knew something about the conflict between the two families in the academy, but now she was ordered by Sima Lie to stay in the academy and not allowed to go back, so she had to work hard to improve herself in the academy.
For more than a month later, Sima Youyue has been practicing alchemy in the soul orb.
She had already practiced the refinement almost before, and after a few more days of practice, she once again set her sights on the second step of fusion.
For this fusion, Sima Youyue chose the simplest first-grade elixir, Blood Congealing Pill, to practice.
Only four kinds of ingredients are needed for this Blood Congealing Pill, and they are all relatively mild medicinal materials. The chance of being fried is relatively small, and the rate of forming a pill is relatively high.
Asking Xiao Lingzi to prepare the medicinal materials, Sima Youyue reconfirmed the steps of alchemy to make sure that she had memorized them, and then she began to refine the medicinal materials.
She is already very familiar with the step of refining the essence of medicinal materials, and she quickly refined all four medicinal materials. Put the refined medicinal materials into categories, and then put two of them into the alchemy furnace first, and then put another one in after a while.
Thinking of the last time the furnace was fried, Sima Youyue still had some lingering fears when she put the medicinal materials in, for fear that the same situation as last time would happen again after putting the medicinal materials in this time.
But this time the medicinal materials gave her more face, and there was no frying furnace, which made her greatly relieved.
According to the book, she controlled the size of the flame. At this time, she found that without her own flame, alchemy is really a very troublesome thing.
A few minutes later, Sima Youyue poured the last medicinal essence into it. Fortunately, there was no explosion this time.
But just when she thought it was successful, there was a gurgling sound in the alchemy furnace, and then there was a puff, and a smell of paste came out from the small hole on the lid of the alchemy furnace, announcing the failure of this fusion.
Sima Youyue extinguished the fire, then lifted the lid of the alchemy furnace, and sure enough, she saw a dark mess inside. She couldn't help but sigh.
"Yueyue, don't be disappointed. This is your first time. Failure is normal. It will be fine when you get used to it." Xiao Hou appeared behind her and comforted her.
"I'm not disappointed." Sima Youyue shook her head and said, "I was just thinking that alchemy is really not a simple matter."
"Of course." Xiao Lingzi also appeared in the air, and said: "The former master said that the steps of alchemy are not difficult, but it is not unreasonable to keep thousands of spiritual masters out. Minutes of fire, every step of control must be precise, and the demand for mental power is one in a million."
"It seems that I still need a teacher to guide me." Sima Youyue touched her chin, and began to think about who to choose as her teacher, but she filtered those alchemists in her mind, and she didn't think of anyone who was suitable.
"It's all crooked, and I can't learn anything from following them." Thinking that those alchemists all had their nostrils upturned, Sima Youyue denied them all.
If those alchemists knew that they were despised like this, would they jump their feet in anger!
"Forget it, let's practice it by ourselves first, and then think about apprenticeship when we meet a good alchemist." After Sima Youyue finished speaking, she picked up another medicinal material and began to practice.
Three days later, she finally successfully fused the first batch of successful liquid medicine.
"Now the last step, condense the pill!" Sima Youyue let out a long breath, then put her hand in front of the pill furnace, condensed the spiritual energy, and slowly poured it into the pill furnace.
"boom-"
As soon as the spiritual power came into contact with the liquid medicine, there was a violent explosion, the pill furnace was directly blown into pieces and flew everywhere, and Sima Youyue was also blown away by the force of the explosion.
"Damn it! It exploded again!"
Before passing out of coma, she saw a fiery red and misty figure appearing beside her in a trance, and a pair of complicated eyes were looking at her all the time.
