Chapter 2573

Failure!

Qin Chuan stared blankly at the puddle of medicinal dregs. Even though he had already thought of the possibility of failure, and even felt that the probability of failure was very high, he still couldn't accept it when he really saw it fail.

He had failed. It had been a long time since he had failed. Qinchuan couldn't even remember the last time he had failed.

He had lost a Huanyang Grass and many other herbs.

These were actually nothing. After all, there were 455 Huanyang Grass. Losing a few was nothing. However, Qinchuan felt very uncomfortable.

Alchemy was an ability that he thought was very strong. Cooking, alchemy, array formations, and so on were what Qinchuan was most proud of.

Now, the thing that he was most proud of had failed.

Qinchuan didn't immediately try a second refinement. Instead, he recalled all the details of the previous refinement process and kept making assumptions and adjustments.

He didn't make assumptions while refining the medicine because every detail of such refinement was very uncontrollable. This was also the uncertainty of the final result caused by the accumulation of a little.

The slightest difference could lead to a huge difference. Qinchuan had such a feeling now. In fact, the difference in every detail could really be ignored. However, it was such a small difference that would eventually affect success or failure.

He calmed down and felt cold for half a day.

Qinchuan tried again. This time, the refinement was even slower. He had to do every step to the extreme because the Golden Divine Eye allowed him to control the best timing.

The effect wasn't too obvious!

Qinchuan saw that there was still a little deviation. If this continued, the possibility of failure would still be very high.

For the first time, Qinchuan truly understood why some people had such a high failure rate in alchemy.

He had never experienced such a feeling before. Alchemy was too simple. This was too easy. He felt that it was difficult to fail.

So this was the feeling of being uncontrollable.

It wasn't that he couldn't control it. Qinchuan knew very well that his alchemy ability was actually not enough. As long as he had enough ability, even a pill like the Soul Returning Pill would be easy to refine.

Failure!

After failing this time, Qinchuan once again fell into a daze, and before he knew it, the day had passed.

When Qinchuan walked out, Consort Qian was stunned. Under normal circumstances, she would think that Qinchuan would be continuously refining the medicine. After all, the medicinal power of the Resurrection Grass was slowly dissipating.

"You don't look happy. Is it because the concoction didn't go well?" Consort Qian asked softly.

Qinchuan nodded. "I tried twice and failed twice."

Qinchuan smiled bitterly and looked at Consort Qian.

"The Resurrection Pill is not easy to concoct. A genius would be able to succeed once out of ten attempts. Don't expect too much. It's normal to fail once or twice." Consort Qian's tone was very gentle.

She wasn't actually comforting Qinchuan. It was the truth. It was just that Qinchuan's expectations were too high, and he wanted to succeed every time.

Now that he heard Consort Qian's words, Qinchuan had to accept the reality. Although he had to admit that his alchemy ability was not bad, it seemed that it was far from enough.

"Well, then I'll try again. Won't you encourage me?" Qinchuan said with a smile.

"Come on!" Consort Qian looked at him with a smile.

Qinchuan looked at Consort Qian bitterly.

Consort Qian walked to him helplessly and hugged him gently. "Is this okay?"

Qinchuan was very happy. He was already very satisfied that this woman took the initiative to take this step. It was a kind of recognition. For a woman like Consort Qian, a hug could actually represent a lot of things.

Qinchuan naturally took advantage of the situation. He didn't go too far in hugging Consort Qian. He just hugged her tightly and didn't want to let go.

Smelling the fresh fragrance and the delicate body, the feeling of joy and satisfaction brought by the hug was incomparably wonderful.

"So fragrant!" Qinchuan smiled gently.

"You're talking nonsense again!" Qian Fei said softly.

It wasn't the first time that she and Qinchuan had been in this kind of situation. She felt that she was getting used to it. The conversation between a man and a woman, including their tone, expression, and thoughts, could all be mixed into a hint of ambiguity. It became a kind of spiritual communication and resonance.

In short, it was wonderful.

This might be the Way of Yin and Yang, the Way of Heaven and Earth.

It didn't take long before Qinchuan let go of Consort Qian. He was reluctant to go back to continue refining the medicine.

Even if he failed.

Qinchuan made a good choice. After all, if he didn't finish refining in a few days, the medicine's efficacy would be lost. Therefore, he could only refine as many as he could.

Failure!

Failure!

Success!

Qinchuan breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he succeeded once. Five times. Well, this was the fifth time that he succeeded once.

This wasn't the happiest thing. He was happy that this success made Qinchuan seem to have grasped something, so he was very happy. He felt that if he continued to practice, he would definitely have a different feeling and could even increase the success rate by a lot.

Success!

Well.

Qinchuan was very surprised. There was a bit of luck in this success, but no matter what, he still felt something more profound.

He felt that he had made great progress in refining the Soul Returning Pill. Although there would still be a slight difference, the uncontrollability at the beginning seemed to be slightly controllable.

Failure!

This time, he failed. However, Qinchuan had a smile on his face. Not only was he not disappointed, but he even felt happy. This failure had given him a good experience.

Failure!

Success!

Success!

Qinchuan refined faster and faster and more steadily. The success rate was getting higher and higher. From one success in three to one success in two.

Two days later, Qinchuan almost failed once out of four times …

Sometimes, he could even succeed five times in a row.

If this was seen by others, they would definitely be so shocked that their eyeballs would fall out.

This success rate was really a little too high. At this moment, Qinchuan seemed to have entered a strange realm. He had completely grasped the Soul Returning Pill.

Qinchuan's condition was getting better and better. He also understood that not everything in the world could be controlled, but it could only be said that if you couldn't control it, it was because you weren't good enough.

It would take a lot of time to refine all nine hundred pieces of Huanyang Grass. Now, the speed of refining was much faster. Moreover, Qinchuan tried to put in two portions of medicinal herbs at once.

He didn't expect to succeed.

And what surprised Qinchuan was that there were three pills …

Under normal circumstances, the success rate was one Yang Returning Pill.

But now, there were three pills. This made Qinchuan very excited.

Failure!

Two portions of medicinal herbs disappeared.

Was it heartache? Perhaps, but it wasn't too much. Therefore, he put in two portions again.

Three portions, four portions …

Qinchuan entered a strange and subtle state.

On the eighth day, Qinchuan finally finished refining. If he continued, the medicinal efficacy of the medicinal herbs would probably be lost and he wouldn't be able to refine the Soul Returning Pill.

Qinchuan looked at the rows of pill bottles. Each bottle contained a Yang Returning Pill.

235 pills …

At the beginning, he failed. Then, he succeeded. In the end, he could even produce two Yang Returning Pills for one stalk of Huanyang Grass …
