Su Ye froze.
She stared at the gray tripod furnace for a long time.
Then, she looked down at her own hands.
'Did I channel too much Spiritual Energy into it?'
'No, that can't be it. I did it the same way as before. Why did it explode?'
Not one to give up, she retrieved three more from her storage.
A moment later, BANG!
Another one exploded.
All morning, it was just BANG! BANG! BANG! It sounded like firecrackers going off, the explosions especially loud in the backyard.
But it wasn't over.
Su Ye seemed to have gotten fixated on the tripod furnaces. She tried one after another, and the result was a morning spent blowing up a great many of them.
By the seventh attempt, Su Ye's focus had shifted from how to successfully perform Medicine-Refining to why on earth the tripod furnaces were exploding.
She channeled a tiny wisp of her Spiritual Energy into one.
Her eyes wide, she watched the tripod furnace before her.
