In the afternoon, sunlight streamed into a tranquil courtyard. The endless fragrance of herbs permeated the air.
A handsome man sat before a stone table, his attention fixed on the medicinal herbs and tools before him. His long, cloud-like hair draped softly over his shoulders. A hint of valor and wisdom was subtly discernible between his brows, and his eyes were clear and bright. He skillfully placed various precious herbs into the Pill Furnace and gently adjusted the flame.
As strands of colorful Gang Qi were infused into the Pill Furnace, Qi Xiu meticulously fine-tuned the fusion of the various herbs' essences within the flames. Faintly, streams of divine marvel coursed through the herb essences. Under the harmonizing manipulation of the Gang Qi, these essences gradually melded, transforming into round, shimmering, azure-green elixirs.
"Extinguish!"
