Chapter 12: One step at a time
Purple smoke puffed out of an old cauldron in the middle of the woods.
Rusted, bronze and filled with bubbling green liquid.
A fair hand daintily threw two stalks of red-orange four-leafed plant.
The liquid slowly turns into a dark shade of orange, bubbles popping due to the heat.
"Is it supposed to look like that?" Feng Jiao Xue asked doubtfully.
HuangJinDe, who was floating crossed legged behind her peers over her shoulder.
"No, it's supposed to be blue. Forget about the right shade, you don't even have the right colour" He replied with a frown. "You sure you got the steps right? Cause I watched you put the ingredients they where the right order"
Feng Jiao Xue flipped over an alchemy book, it was full of basic formulas but baby steps.
"Maybe I missed a stir or did not cut the herbs correctly" Feng Jiao Xue thoughtfully replied reading over the formula for a healing pill, tier 1. low grade.
"Yeah, because you know, that's supposed to be... not liquid. But, uhm... it smells like a healing pill" Huang Jin De tried to comfort her, trying hard to find a praise but... looking at the cauldron with bubbling multi shaded orange liquid, he could only swallow his pride as an alchemy master to praise the abomination that should be shamed for being even made up of the herbs from the space.
"...Wanna try what it can do?" Feng Jiao Xue asked curiously.
