Chapter 1711 - Refining the Detoxification Pill
Ye Linghan didn't dare to waste even a moment. She waved her hand into the distance, and two men quickly appeared before her.The two men cupped their fists and respectfully stepped aside. "Young Lady, what orders do you have?"
"Prepare the herbs according to this prescription. Prepare three sets as soon as possible." Ye Linghan ordered, choosing to prepare one extra set for safety.
Liu Wuxie had asked for two sets because he was worried the refinement might fail. After all, he had only just arrived in the celestial realm and still needed time to adapt.
After reincarnating, he could retain his knowledge, but fully grasping it again was another matter entirely. For example, even if someone personally watched a craftsman build a cabinet and understood every step, they still might not be able to recreate it perfectly by hand. Even if they managed to produce one, it might turn out crude and fall far short of a true master's work.
Liu Wuxie was in precisely that state now. Although his memories remained after his rebirth, he still needed to rebuild his hands-on experience. Moreover, he had sealed away many of his memories to prevent his identity from being exposed.
Ye Linghan returned to the alchemy chamber and found Liu Wuxie activating the earthly flame to burn away the dirt inside the cauldron. He didn't clean it with water but with fire, since high temperatures could incinerate every impurity inside. Fire and water couldn't coexist, and a cauldron feared water the most.
Ye Linghan didn't disturb Liu Wuxie and quietly stood to the side. For some reason, his every movement looked natural and flawless, as though he had repeated those motions countless times. Yet such mastery didn't match his age at all. On top of that, Liu Wuxie carried a mysterious aura that made him seem unfathomable.
Liu Wuxie pretended not to notice Ye Linghan. He had seen everything when she had ordered the guards to fetch the herbs. She was probably worried that he would seize the chance to flee if she left to retrieve them herself. That was only human nature, and Liu Wuxie naturally understood it.
Roughly fifteen minutes later, the flames had thoroughly cleansed the cauldron. Right then, the two guards returned with three packs of herbs. The City Lord Mansion supplied some from its storage, while guards purchased the rest outside. Since the herbs Liu Wuxie required were extremely rare, the guards had clearly gone to great lengths to gather them.
"The herbs are ready," Ye Linghan said as she took the herbs from the guards and handed them to Liu Wuxie.
Liu Wuxie opened the packs and sniffed the herbs briefly. After confirming there were no problems, he finally began preparing for the refinement.
