"Although Miss is a beginner without a master alchemist certificate or apprentice certificate, you are a returning customer of the pharmacy, so you can still get it for free."
Luo Bi chuckled, "You might as well charge me in interstellar coins. Giving them to us for free wouldn't be appropriate, as I need a rather large quantity."
"How many does Miss need?"
"100 of the 50 ml capacity and 100 of the 100 ml capacity."
Xue Ning's eyes flickered; the quantity was indeed quite large, not what a beginner would typically need. He lowered his gaze and thought quickly, then said, "The quantity is a bit much, but it's no problem. I'll give Miss 200 energy bottles for free. I hope Miss will come back to our store in the future."
"Of course." Luo Bi nodded, naturally happy to accept the free offer, and only paid 100,000 interstellar coins for the spirit plants.
As Xue Ning saw her off, he casually asked, "Has Miss made any progress in alchemy recently?"
Luo Bi shook her head, "Every batch I refine explodes."
Xue Ning was taken aback for a moment and then couldn't say anything more.
With the Bi Fei stone and spirit plants in hand, Luo Bi resumed her routine of spending half a day refining and half a day extracting energy liquid.
In the conference hall of the base headquarters, the First Legion and the Third Legion were arguing heatedly over the failure of the First Combat Team's mission. Hearing the faint sound of explosions, Luo Jie whispered to the nearby General Mi Yue, "Feng Ling's wife is at it again."
Mi Yue smiled and lowered his voice, "Feng Ling has plenty of interstellar coins. If he's willing, there's nothing you can do about it."
Luo Jie snorted and turned away, ignoring the white fatty. He was over a hundred years old and couldn't even speak properly.
Knowing the benefits of the alchemy residue ash, Luo Bi selected a small plot in the planting field and poured the cooled ash onto it every day, planning to mix it into the soil to improve it once she had enough. After pouring the ash, she would habitually check the transplanted red fruit seedlings. For the first few days, they were fine, just a bit droopy and not growing taller.
But when she checked again a few days later, the 21 red fruit seedlings were all drooping and looked half-dead.
Luo Bi panicked, grabbed two handfuls of alchemy residue ash, and buried them at the roots of the two seedlings that still showed signs of life. In this situation, even though the three larger seedlings in the box had also drooped, she didn't dare to transplant them outside.
Two days later, all the seedlings except the two with the alchemy residue ash had withered and died. Luo Bi was heartbroken, sighed, and then transplanted the three seedlings from the box to the plot where she had placed the alchemy residue ash.
Luo Bi visited the large balcony planting field every day, and Feng Ling noticed. He followed her and asked, "Where did these seedlings come from?" The three larger ones were already two meters tall, while the two smaller ones were only a few inches, and they weren't as vigorous as the larger ones.
"I cultivated them myself. The seeds came from the red fruit kernels you bought for me." Luo Bi also mentioned her discovery, "The alchemy residue ash can improve the soil, but unfortunately, there's not much of it."
Feng Ling was skeptical, pinched some of the improved soil, and had it secretly sent to the Imperial Star for analysis.
The First Legion and the Third Legion argued for several days. In the end, General Qi Lan stepped in and forcefully silenced the Third Legion's loud protests. "You little punk, a pretty face, daring to challenge me? You're overestimating yourself."
The highest commander of the Third Legion on Zhi Huang Star, Bai Nanfeng, was a direct descendant of the Bai family, with the rank of a major general. Due to his effeminate appearance and narrow-mindedness, he was seen as a pretty face by Qi Lan.
