Chapter 31: Failure
As the cauldron was heating up, he started adding the ingredients one by one.
There were about 5 ingredients needed to make this pill, with the main ingredient being the rejuvenation flower.
The rejuvenation flower could heal both fatigue and injury. It was used in tandem with another herb known as the numbing herb. From the name, one could guess the use of this herb. It was able to numb the pain of whoever consumed it.
These two herbs, in addition to a few others, were what was used to make the healing pill.
After the cauldron was heated up, he started putting the herbs into the cauldron one by one.
Going by the recipe from the inheritance, he started by putting the rejuvenation flower. The flower slowly liquified under the heat in the cauldron. Then he channeled his spirit energy through the cauldron, using it to create a small vortex.
After the medicinal essence had been extracted and the impurities burned away, he added the numbing herb after and repeated the previous process.
However, it seemed he had underestimated the difficulty of the ancient alchemy method because by the time he needed to add the third herb, his spirit energy had already been depleted by three-quarters.
By the time he had extracted the medicinal essence of the herb, his spirit energy had already been depleted. This caused instability with the pill concoction, causing the cauldron to explode.
