Because Bingxin Fire was still in its seed state, the refining process was not particularly difficult, but coaxing it to ignite was no easy task. There was enough wood qi inside Jiang Yuejing's body, and under its careful nourishment, the spiritual breath of the fire seed grew stronger and stronger, yet the flame refused to catch.
She had originally assumed her wood qi was simply insufficient, but upon arriving at Medicine Peak, Peak Master Ding spotted the crux of the issue at a glance. A small flame suddenly rose in Peak Master Ding's hand: "Controlling the heat is crucial when we refine pills, as it directly affects the success and quality of the finished product. Aside from increasing or decreasing spiritual power, one must also account for wind. Wind can stoke a fire into a raging blaze, but it can also extinguish a fledgling flame. You possess a wind Spiritual Root, so you should know precisely what needs to be done."
Peak Master Ding's words brought instant clarity to Jiang Yuejing. She hurriedly took out the wooden box containing spiritual herbs, but the moment she lifted it, she noticed the weight felt wrong. Opening it for a quick glance, she discovered it was filled entirely with grass seeds. With a somewhat sheepish expression, she put it away: "I grabbed the wrong thing."
