Chapter 375 - 13 Disgust
The black medicinal liquid in the pot bubbled as it emitted steam, gradually becoming lighter and lesser with Lin Xiaoguai’s constant stirring until it finally cleared completely, revealing the dregs of the used medicinal ingredients at the bottom of the pot.
She exhaled, turned off the heat, and took out a filtering cloth while demonstrating, "The next step is the final one. We need to filter out the dregs from these medicinal liquids before they cool and solidify into an ointment, and then transfer it into the containers we need."
She secured the filtering cloth over the mouth of the pot and then poured the medicinal liquid into the wooden square boxes she had prepared beforehand. By the time she finished pouring the liquid, the first box of ointment had already completed cooling and solidifying.
"I’ve said everything that needed to be said before. If any of you still harbor a glimmer of hope, I don’t mind if you follow my process and try it out to see if you can succeed," she said, her heart greatly relieved.
In fact, despite her confident explanations earlier, she had essentially been bluffing.
It wasn’t that she was lying—her nose could indeed accurately identify the quality of medicinal ingredients. However, when it came to making medicines, she didn’t need to be concerned about so much because she operated entirely on spiritual power.
Although one couldn’t possess powers beyond those of their designated plane, spiritual power was an exception. In the Alien Civilization, every occupation relied on spiritual power; it played an indispensable role across all industries.
Of course, that’s not to say spiritual power had no offensive capabilities, but that was a very rare talent. She remembered what 001 had mentioned once; it seemed to be related to differences in spiritual origin. Typically, individuals who could cultivate spiritual power into an offensive form were notably sharp and aggressive in personality—some even suffered from psychological distortions akin to mental illnesses. In the Alien Civilization, almost everyone had spiritual power, but those who could use it as a means of attack were truly one in a million.
Clearly, Lin Xiaoguai did not possess that kind of talent. Of course, even if she did, she probably wouldn’t be able to cultivate it as long as she remained on Earth.
