66 Treating Fan Song Xue - 22.3 (1/2)
After taking a mental stock of all the herbs she had in her space as well as looking at the ones she already brought out, Fan Zhu Xia's eyes lightened up in delight before she brought out a small wooden chest.
This was the same exact chest that Cong Shi Hong placed the herb they gathered in Abyss Valley Mountain Range; the Abyss Void Grassweed.
She knew that she said that she'll return it to Shi Hong once he wakes up but the Abyss Void Grassweed is perfect for refining the Absolute Purging Pill especially with it's medicinal property that can repel and purge out any kind of poison no matter how potent the poison is as long as it's medicinal effects linger and is still in effect. Coupled with the Thousand Year Old Blood Root that the Lord Owner of the Thousand Treasures Pavillion gifted her that due to it's age, it's effects are amplified and it can boost the medicinal efficacy, potency and duration of the Absolute Purging Pill's effect last in Fan Song Xue's body due to it's unique property as a support herb for a much longer time than just a regular Blood Root.
Fan Zhu Xia just resolved to make time and go and get more of the Abyss Void Grassweed in the future to replace the ones she'll be using today.
After bringing a couple more supplementary herbs along with scraping off some rind off the skin of the Golden Crystal Spirit Fruit about the size of a fingernail, Fan Zhu Xia then started the preparations for the herbs to be used in refining the Absolute Purging Pill.
Using her qi, she concentrated it until it manifested into her own alchemic flame which was a vivid, vermillion-red color in her left hand. Taking another cursory glance at the herbs, she then started throwing the herbs in one by one and let he flame envelop them until they all hovered inside individual balls of flame, illuminating the room brightly and bringing the temperature up until even the guards outside had beads of sweat dotting their foreheads.
As if oblivious to the rising heat, Fan Zhu Xia concentrated on the herbs inside her flames and focused on purifying each one and removing it's impurities in varying degrees of heat. To anyone witnessing the scene, they would be astounded at the level of control that Fan Zhu Xia had over her flames because looking at each ball of fire, one could still clearly see each medicinal herb perfectly intact and was just being partially obscured by a ruby red haze due to the flames.
After about an hour, Fan Zhu Xia who's brows were faintly glistening with sweat then opened the lid on her refinery cauldron and placed the balls of fire inside in such a way that all the supplementary herbs formed a circle while the Abyss Void Grassweed sat in the middle then flanked by the Thousand Year Old Blood Root and rind of the Golden Crystal Spirit Fruit on either side before closing the lid and placing both her hands at the front side of the cauldron and with a low shout, flooded it with her qi.
The moment her pale blue qi made contact with the cauldron, it instantly shone a deep red while the engravings lit up a beautiful shade of amber gold. After feeding it with her qi, the four dragons slowly shifted as if coming to life with their snouts going closer to
the openings while their previously colorless eyes lit up in different colors. Emerald for earth or as some would call it; nature element, red for fire, blue for water and white for the air element.
The moment the eyes lit up, different colored energies flowed from the dragons' mouth towards the openings, mixing inside the cauldron and flowing in between the balls of flame that still contained the medicinal herbs.
With a deep exhale, Fan Zhu Xia then started making different handsigns with her eyes closed as she focused and used her divine sense to see and monitor what's happening inside the refinery cauldron.
