Chapter 38
Feng Jiao Xue grinned widely as she held a parchment filled with scribbles and elegant writings. Herbs and their attributes, effects, positive and negative, as well as other information, how they would react to certain things are written all over papers, both crumbled up or meticulously spread all over her table. Medicinal books written all over spread up all around her, from her desk, to her chairs and to the floor.
On one corner of her bedroom where various herbs and vials filled with different coloured liquids marked with a bright red "Experiment #: Fail" noted in each container from 1-79, crumpled papers littered below the table.
Feng Jiao Xue directly mirrors the state of her room.
Her silken hair all over the place, messily tied in a ponytail, ink all over her hands, eyes buried on prominent eye bags, the sleeves of her dress rolled up, stains from her previous experiments coloring the once beautiful dress.
"Fresh Ling root" She mumbled removing the rough brown outer layer revealing a soft white insides measuring them slightly before putting it on her cauldron.
"Seven leaved dragon tooth" The herb having gotten its name from shape looking strangely similar to a sharp fang.
Feng Jiao Xue excitedly bustled around her table, hastily putting away the books and parchment. Crushing a bone into fine powder one moment and then cutting herbs the next as her cauldron emitted green puffs of smoke once in a while.
She added a crimson root turning the green puff of smoke into black before adding an eye of a level two silver armored ant making the black smoke into silver smoke.
This time, her eyes didn’t leave the cauldron as she used her qi to control the chaotic energy inside the cauldron.
"Focus on the fire as well," Huang Jin De reminded her as he appeared beside her.
Feng Jiao Xue nodded as she split her attention in the Qi inside the cauldron and in modulating the heat from the fire below the cauldron.
