"The Li position belongs to fire. The heat is a bit too strong right now. Reduce some firewood."
He Xiuyuan calculated with his fingers while staring at the Pill Furnace in front of him, every step meticulously planned to ensure this Alchemy would not go wrong.
And as He Xiuyuan continuously calculated, the Medicinal Pill inside the Pill Furnace became extremely stable at this moment, seemingly without any flaws.
After more than half an hour, wisps of faint Medicinal Pill aroma began to waft from the Pill Furnace.
As soon as this Medicinal Pill aroma drifted out, He Xiuyuan's nose twitched slightly, and he immediately caught the scent.
The aroma was truly refreshing.
Joy flickered in He Xiuyuan's eyes, but his calculating movements did not slow down in the slightest.
As the Medicinal Pill gradually took shape and the Medicinal Pill aroma grew stronger, He Xiuyuan did not notice that a dark cloud had suddenly begun to gather in the sky.
A moment later, a thick dark cloud had gathered above He Xiuyuan's head, and then the aged face of an old Daoist priest faintly emerged within the dark cloud.
The old Daoist priest's face looked down, watching He Xiuyuan below.
He Xiuyuan, who was at a critical moment in Alchemy, was calculating with his fingers as if forming seals, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
However, at this moment, He Xiuyuan was suddenly startled because he could no longer calculate anything.
This scene immediately alarmed He Xiuyuan.
Everything had been fine just now, so why did it seem like something was blocking his divination at this crucial juncture, preventing him from calculating anything? What was going on?
He Xiuyuan felt strange in his heart, and the next moment he felt a slight tingling in his neck, as if something was staring at him.
This feeling made He Xiuyuan subconsciously look up, and then he saw a scene above his head that made his scalp tingle.
He saw a dark cloud that had gathered above his head at some unknown time, with the face of an old Daoist priest emerging within it.
Hiss... He Xiuyuan was instantly shocked upon seeing this scene. Was he attracting Heavenly Punishment?
But this wasn't right... He was just performing Alchemy, how could he attract Heavenly Punishment?
He Xiuyuan felt something was amiss in his heart and immediately began to calculate, wanting to figure out why he had attracted Heavenly Punishment.
And this time, He Xiuyuan calculated without the previous feeling of being blocked; he figured it out very easily.
"So that's how it is..."
When He Xiuyuan calculated and figured out why he had attracted Heavenly Punishment, he suddenly understood.
According to He Xiuyuan's calculations, his method of using divination for Alchemy was opportunistic and an abuse of divination techniques. This, naturally, would attract Heavenly Punishment.
He Xiuyuan's mouth twitched at this. If this wasn't allowed, then to learn this Alchemy, based on his previous divination experience, he feared it would take him twenty or thirty years to master it.
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan couldn't help but feel anxious. If he wasn't allowed to use this method, then dealing with extraterrestrial objects in the future would be difficult.
Don't just look at these twenty or thirty years; who knows what might happen in that time?
Thinking of this, He Xiuyuan dared not hesitate. He quickly stood up, tidied his clothes, and then respectfully bowed to the Heavenly Dao.
"Cultivator He Xiuyuan, respectfully greets the Heavenly Dao."
At this moment, his expression was serious and respectful, performing a grand bow.
"This Disciple uses divination for Alchemy, not with the intention of performing Heaven-Defying methods, but out of concern for extraterrestrial objects and worry for this world, which is why this difficult method was employed."
"As the saying goes, Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life, and Earth has the capacity to bear all things."
"For this method, I ask the Heavenly Dao to grant it, to increase the strength of the Daoist sect."
"If this method can be obtained, this Disciple can also use the art of Medicinal Pills to alleviate human suffering."
After He Xiuyuan finished speaking, he again performed a respectful grand bow.
The old man above listened to He Xiuyuan's explanation, his gaze falling on He Xiuyuan. After a moment, he dissipated, along with the dark cloud.
He Xiuyuan felt a sense of relief at this. It seemed the Heavenly Dao allowed him to use this method for Alchemy.
From the looks of it, this Heavenly Dao didn't seem too difficult to talk to.
He Xiuyuan pondered this in his heart, while the immortal crane stood on the crape myrtle tree, watching the scene before it, its pupils trembling slightly.
He Xiuyuan's actions even brought out the Heavenly Dao, and he was still fine?
One had to know, previously when it stole the sunset glow, it suffered every time and was targeted by heavenly lightning every time.
Yet now, He Xiuyuan, with just a few words, made the Heavenly Dao disperse. How did He Xiuyuan... do it?
The immortal crane was utterly shocked by the scene before it, while He Xiuyuan, on the other hand, didn't feel much. At this moment, he was thinking of another matter.
He wondered if he could ask the other party how to repair this Heavenly Dao?
He Xiuyuan thought in his heart, and his mind stirred, he immediately began to calculate with his fingers.
He wanted to try if he could divine this method.
Although he had previously asked Qing Yunzi and the other two if they could use divination to figure out how to repair this Heavenly Dao.
At that time, they said no, but He Xiuyuan still wanted to try.
As He Xiuyuan's fingers moved, he immediately began to calculate.
However, after a moment, He Xiuyuan frowned. At this moment, no matter how he calculated, he still couldn't figure out anything. What he calculated was a void, or it seemed to be concealed by someone, making it impossible to calculate anything.
Seeing this, He Xiuyuan thought for a moment, somewhat unwilling to give up and wanting to continue calculating.
However, no matter how He Xiuyuan calculated, he still couldn't figure out anything.
Given this situation, He Xiuyuan could only helplessly choose to give up.
This divination truly couldn't be calculated, and He Xiuyuan could only choose to give up in his helplessness.
"Hmm... Hiss, my Medicinal Pill!"
He Xiuyuan lowered his calculating fingers, then suddenly, as if remembering something, he quickly turned his head to look at the Pill Furnace beside him.
At this time, the Pill Furnace was still continuously emitting a faint Medicinal Pill aroma, but at this moment, the aroma had undergone a subtle change.
Noticing this, He Xiuyuan's expression changed slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to inspect it carefully.
After He Xiuyuan carefully inspected it, he immediately began to control the heat, and the Medicinal Pill in the Pill Furnace finally stabilized.
By the final stage of collecting the Medicinal Pill, He Xiuyuan was even more focused, treating it with utmost caution.
As the last bit of time slowly passed, the Medicinal Pill aroma in the Pill Furnace also grew stronger and stronger, eventually rising into a wisp of extremely fragrant smoke.
