Chapter 1240: The Furnace Exploded

“You’re not hiding anything else about your body’s condition from me, right.” Qiao Mu looked at the man sternly, exuding an imposing manner that threatened to bite him to death should he dare to hide anything else from her.

Yet Mo Lian quickly shook his head as he reassured her with lowered eyes, “I’m not.”

Thus, Qiao Mu raised her small hand to ruffle Mo Lian’s hair in the same way she would a puppy. “That’s good then.”

Mo Lian could only pull down her hand, chuckling helplessly. “Qiaoqiao, why are we talking about poison at this place and time. Shouldn’t we be happily chatting while drinking tea?”

Qiao Mu poured him a cup of tea before giving him a smile. “Hubby, please have some tea.”

Mo Lian’s eyes glowed upon hearing this, and he took the teacup with a smile. “Wifey, it’s so rare that you don’t need to cultivate and I have tossed aside all trivial matters. How about today, we…”

*Boom!* Suddenly, a loud sound came from the lakeside, abruptly cutting off Mo Lian’s words.

The couple held hands as they stood up and looked toward the lakeside. However, they could only make out a crowd of bobbing heads.

“We couldn’t really have encountered some kind of fish monster, right.” Mo Lian involuntarily twitched his mouth when he recalled what Qiaoqiao had said previously.

This little fellow couldn’t really have jinxed it?

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing! Everyone can leave, everything’s fine!” The voice of a young man drifted over from afar.

“Wow, it’s another pill alchemist whose furnace exploded while refining pills by the lake!”


“Are you a pill alchemist from the Pill Union?”

“Ah, it’s someone from the Pill Union?”

“Wang Youzhi!” Suddenly, a familiar shout drifted into Qiao Mu’s ears. She peered over from afar and recognized the two people from the Pill Union.

“So it’s them.”

Mo Lian also gave a nod. By this time, he also recognized the two people making their way through the crowd as the Pill Union’s Master Hua Feng and the uncompromising young lady, Chen Huiran.

The young man who had blasted a deep pit by the lake, and who caused even the embankment to slope down, appeared before everyone with a face blackened with soot.

“You, you brat!” Chen Huiran’s voice drifted over with the wind.

“I already told you not to carelessly refine pills outside!!” This brat who still refined pills daily after also making furnaces explode every day was now so eager to make the entire Pill Union lose their face in public.

“I just so happened to obtain a new pill recipe these last two days…”

“Alright, alright, we’ll talk after returning to the Pill Union.” Master Hua Feng shook his head in resignation before turning to glance at Wang Youzhi.

It was a good thing for this young man to work hard, but he wasn’t even able to refine a pill successfully even after working hard for three freaking years. The fact that he even made furnaces explode every day caused them to quiver in fright. Was it suitable for this kind of “talent” to continue remaining in the Pill Union?

It was good that the triennial Pill Competition was just upon them. At that time, people who couldn’t even refine a single pill would naturally be dismissed from the Pill Union.

“Master Hua, give me another chance!” The young man sobbed as he latched onto Master Hua’s leg, arousing the spectators’ sympathy.

Pill alchemists had it quite hard—getting disdained by seniors when your furnace exploded during refining, not to mention the stress you were under.

Sigh, they also had to take the competitive examination every three years. If a pill alchemist’s level didn’t advance but instead regressed two times in succession, then it was possible for the Pill Union to expel them.

Every profession had it hard.

Mo Lian pulled Qiao Mu down to continue sitting while remarking disinterestedly, “How preposterous, coming to disturb us for nothing. Why does he have to come to the lakeside to refine pills and not anywhere else?”

“He might have his own intentions.”
