Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 54 She Was A Little Moved

It was summer when the days were long and the nights were short. It was already past seven in the evening. but the sky outside was still relatively bright

Julian and Annalise came to the small bungalow next to the villa again.

A servant handed Julian a key and left.

Stacks of neatly stacked firewood filled up half the hall of the bungalow.

Beside the firewood was a barbecue grill.

Previously, this bungalow was not locked, but now it was.

Julian unlocked the door and pushed it open.

Annalise saw two large clay pots and two large medicine jars in the room.

In addition, there were traditional medicine bags neatly placed on the cabinet.

“Can we use that?” Julian asked Annalise.

Annalise immediately checked the medicine jars and clay pots.

She touched the clay pot and nodded. “Yes. Let’s use this later.”

He might not be able to refine the pills successfully. After all, this was not a pill furnace.

Joseph had an extremely large pill furnace. It was made of copper, just like the Eight Trigrams Furnace in Journey to the West, a famous book. That furnace would have allowed them to refine pills with half the effort.

During the refinement process, smoke would appear from any opening. The smoke carried a medicinal fragrance, and one could tell if the refinement was successful or not with a single sniff.

However, Joseph rarely let her use it. In his words, those who knew how to write were not picky about pens, those who knew how to draw were not picky about paint, those who knew how to treat illnesses were not picky about equipment, and those who knew how to refine medicine were naturally not picky about tools. When Joseph taught her how to refine elixir pills, he would always ask her to use medicine jars and clay pots. Every time, she would get so tired that she sweated profusely, and she often failed.

Sometimes, when she saw that the expensive medicinal ingredients were burned black, she would feel extremely sorry. However, Joseph would laugh as if nothing had happened. “Let’s see if you’ll still be distracted or dare not be focused next time.”

Because her heart ached for the expensive medicinal ingredients, her subsequent failure rate became lower and lower.

This was because she had memorized the characteristics of all known traditional herbs and their reactions during the refinement process.

Every time before refining pills, she would also discuss what might happen to the pills with Joseph.
