Chapter 112: Producing Pills: The Antidote Pill for Fantasy Beauty
Ye Jiuge took out the Thousand Threads Herb that she had prepared earlier. The herb, which had been extracted and soaked, glittered green and emitted a faint light. Besides its ability to expel poison from a person’s system, it could also cleanse waste materials from the body. It was an instrumental Spiritual Herb. However, to manifest its detoxification ability, it required another Spiritual Herb, the Blackberry Fruit. Hence, not many Alchemists knew about the Thousand Threads Herb’s capabilities. They preferred to use Green Algae Flower to produce Antidote Pills.
Ye Jiuge took out the Blackberry Fruit and the Thousand Threads Herb. She placed them together in a medicinal bowl and pounded them in a large container of dark green solution with her Spiritual Power before mixing them with other supplementary Spiritual Herbs.
Zi Shang perched at a crooked angle on the red wooden chair beside her. He supported his forehead with his hand, and his long black hair draped over his shoulders. His purple eyes stared unwaveringly at Ye Jiuge as his snake tail roamed around her. The flirtatious tip of his tail unconsciously played with her light green dress, which was embroidered with Yaoguang Flowers, as though he was trying to seduce her.
Honestly, Ye Jiuge’s pill production process was dry and dull. Nevertheless, Zi Shang watched her with great interest. He realized that he had grown fond of Ye Jiuge, who had a vicious tongue and was a little willful and barbarous, but always strove for self-improvement. If he had figured this out earlier, he wouldn’t have restored her original appearance.
People liked her even when she was ugly. Now that she is beautiful, won’t it be more dangerous? It seems that I have to work harder to regain my Demonic Power. If not, when there are more rival lovers in the future, I won’t be able to defeat them!
As Zi Shang’s thoughts wandered, his eyes squinted slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile. The golden sunlight gave his beautiful face a radiance, making it look as gentle and intoxicating as the peach blossoms in March. He was so beautiful that his looks could take a person’s breath away.
However, Ye Jiuge had no time to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Once she started producing pills, Ye Jiuge withdrew into herself. Carefully, she calculated the amount of each Spiritual Herb needed and meticulously placed them into the Pill Production Furnace. Then, she adjusted the strength of the flame.
The detoxification pill required to remedy the Fantasy Beauty currently poisoning Imperial Consort Xi had to be tailor-made, so flame control was essential. Furthermore, she had to use her Soul Power to observe the changes in the ingredients in the Pill Production Furnace to ensure that all of them would fuse together perfectly.
The blazing flame turned Ye Jiuge’s face deep red. Her eyes, which were like the clear autumn waters, locked single-mindedly on the Pill Production Furnace, as if beholding a treasure. The Black Fat Rat squatted beside Ye Jiuge, watching the Pill Production Furnace with a solemn expression. The time passed slowly.
