It serves you right for being so meddlesome. Luo Bi was still harboring resentment over Jiang Zhu's insincere advice earlier, and she seized the opportunity to make things difficult for him. Jiang Zhu, after being scolded by his cousin, became more honest and had no time to chatter aimlessly. He quietly entered his work mode, his movements even surpassing Luo Bi's. Luo Bi blinked her eyes; Jiang Zhu was just someone who needed to be disciplined, and now he was being honest, right?

Wu Yue, having destroyed a high-grade medicinal plant, had no other thoughts. Coincidentally, customers kept coming in one after another, so he didn't mention the matter of the apprentice assistant to Luo Bi again.

Luo Bi, while working, was lost in thought, feeling that something would happen soon. After work, she went home and, while Guan Zhuting was setting the table, she went upstairs to check on the spirit plants. She was worried that they would lose their spiritual energy if not used in time.

Luo Bi had a bit of OCD; psychologically, she couldn't tolerate even a tiny bit of spiritual energy loss from the spirit plants. Fortunately, each plant was still fresh and green, with the same amount of spiritual energy as when they were first bought.

To nourish Luo Bi's mental and soul energy, Guan Zhuting used first-grade nutritious ingredients from their own garden to make a separate dinner for Luo Bi. Luo Bi sat at the dining table, looking at the two clearly different meals, frowned, and silently ate them.

After dinner, as Luo Bi was about to return to her room, Feng Ling's communication came through. She clicked to answer, and Feng Ling said, "Are you at home?"

"Uh, yes, I'm at home."

"Stay at home if you have nothing to do for the time being."

"Why?" Luo Bi was a bit puzzled.

Feng Ling explained, "You awakened dual abilities, even if the attributes are mixed, dual awakening is still rare. Your father and elder brother are not at home, and I'm worried someone might have designs on you."

Luo Bi was startled, and her heart raced after Feng Ling's reminder. She had considered this possibility but thought she was overthinking it. Now, it seemed that wasn't the case. She informed Feng Ling, "I went to work at the Wu family pharmacy this afternoon."

"It's fine, just be careful. Don't go to work tomorrow." Feng Ling instructed and then hung up the communication.

Luo Bi's heart was still racing, and she didn't sleep well that night. Early in the morning, she went to the study to continue guiding the fire source.

After half an hour, Luo Bi looked at the red flame she had guided and decided to try refining medicine. After reviewing the recipe for the blood-stopping powder, Luo Bi placed the spirit medicines she had processed the day before into the cauldron. She used her mental energy to guide the fire source and her soul energy to envelop the surface of the spirit plants. Then, she controlled the size and temperature of the flame, gradually refining the spirit plants.

Luo Bi's soul energy was fully activated, tightly enveloping the spiritual energy of the spirit plants, not letting a single bit escape. However, she couldn't control her mental energy well, and the flame fluctuated in size. She knew that continuing like this would likely result in failure, but the refining process had already started. Continuing might still give her a chance of success, but if she stopped the fire halfway, it would definitely end in failure.

When a burnt smell came from the cauldron, Luo Bi knew this attempt had failed. Just as she was about to stop the fire, there was a loud "bang," and everything turned chaotic. Objects flew in all directions. Luo Bi was stunned for a few seconds before realizing she had encountered the legendary cauldron explosion.

Her eyes darted around, and the study was a mess. The walls, tables, and floor were all covered with a layer of black substance. The air was filled with a burnt smell, making her throat itch. Luo Bi coughed a few times and looked down to see that her clothes were splattered with a bit of black ash. She got up to find a mirror to check her appearance.

In the mirror, the background behind her was pitch black, but miraculously, her face and body were not very dirty. What was going on?
