However, right when Xuanyan was about to succeed, the incomplete form of the Gu worm in his hand suddenly burst apart.
Xuanyan's expression changed. "What—?!"
Yanmei's eyes widened slightly as she stared at the vessel.
Junior brother Xuanyan's refinement… had also failed.
"Junior brother Xuanyan, are you alright?" Yanmei rushed toward him the moment she saw him collapse to the ground from the backlash. Her mind did not even have time to think. By the time she reached him, she had already taken out a pill and pushed it straight into his mouth.
Xuanyan coughed from her rough action. "Senior sister… do you always shove things into people's mouths like that?"
Yanmei glared at him. "If you keep talking, I'll push another one in. Now swallow it."
Xuanyan did not argue further. He quickly swallowed the pill as the medicinal energy spread through his body, calming the chaotic fire energy caused by the failed Gu refinement. The pain inside his meridians slowly settled.
