Why Doesn't the Sword Cultivator Master Alchemist?

# Dao Sword Sect's True Disciple Forms a Life-and-Death Pact with the Divine Artifact, the Hun Dao Furnace, in a Secret Realm #

Luo Qingqing had only dozed for a bit in the lounge chair on her balcony. When she opened her eyes, she realized she seemed to have transmigrated?

She thought she was the chosen one, or that she had a System to help her. Unfortunately, she was just a spirit that had been asleep inside a pill furnace.

Until someone made a pact with the furnace, she would have to stay in that pitch-black place.

At long last, someone made a pact with her, and she could see daylight again. But her new master turned out to be a swordsman!

He'd made a pact with her only because he was so broke he couldn't afford food. There happened to be a "big pot" in front of him, and while making soup, he accidentally dripped blood onto the furnace.

She was about to give him a piece of her mind when the furnace's body suddenly sent golden light soaring into the sky.

Had a pill just formed right away?

Huh? Not convinced, Luo Qingqing watched her master refine a few more batches. No matter what he tossed in, it all turned into pills. She was starting to question reality.

What kind of idiot had made an alchemy prodigy become a swordsman? What a waste of talent!

He'd refined such top-quality pills, and then just tossed them away without a second thought?

Luo Qingqing was determined to get her swordsman master back on the path of alchemy.

But after a long time had passed:

Aaaah! Keep messing around with alchemy like that, and I'll make your furnace explode!

1. When they first met:

Luo Qingqing had just flown out of the furnace when she looked up and saw a man with an ethereal air, standing opposite her on a sword that gave off a chill. His gaze was fixed on her body.

She looked down and saw that he'd put her body in lava!

Making soup? Who would eat that turd-colored mess of yours?!

As soon as she finished speaking, golden light shone behind her, and ten gleaming golden pills lay at the bottom of the furnace.

After one taste of the real thing, Luo Qingqing immediately clung to her swordsman master's leg.

2. At the sect competition:

The moment Shi Xiu stepped onto the stage, he summoned the divine artifact, the Hun Dao Furnace. Everyone present was confused.

Unexpectedly, he took two steps back and threw the whole furnace at his opponent, leaving Luo Qingqing beside him in despair.

"You have a sword, so why not use it? Why do you have to throw me out as a shield?

I may not be a cooking pot, but could you stop throwing me every time there's a fight? I'm a pill furnace, not a bomb!"
