Chapter 282 - I Reject! (2)
After that, she did not continue with the process. She merely stared at the medicinal liquid in the crystal bottle without any movement.
“Hmph! You were so proud and confident earlier on, so why aren’t you doing anything right now?” Pu Lisi mocked her. How could one accurately grasp the amount of Hawthorn Grass needed for the potion so easily? That was the essence of the difficulty in brewing that potion.
Shen Yanxiao ignored Pu Lisi and his mocking of her, and she continued to stare at the potion on the open flame. The potion gradually warmed, and as soon as it released the first vapor, she immediately added some of the Hawthorne Grass powder into the bottle.
After she added the powder, the potion immediately calmed, and the vapor that had surfaced previously then disappeared without a trace.
That meant Shen Yanxiao had managed to add the precise amount needed into the mixture.
Pu Lisi’s lips twitched.
“He got lucky.” He tried to console himself.
Ye Qing glanced at Pu Lisi, and he gave him a small smile.
The amount of each medicinal ingredient in a potion had to be exact if one wanted to brew the potion successfully. Shen Yanxiao had managed to do that without any additional tool, and that was not something that one could attribute to good luck.
Ye Qing looked at Shen Yanxiao as he quietly anticipated for her next action.
After Shen Yanxiao added the powdered Hawthorne Grass, she immediately fished out a Hanath Flower from the pile of medicinal ingredients. However, she did not process it. She merely plucked two petals from the flower and then added them to the potion.
In the blink of an eye, the light pink petals dissolved into the potion the moment they touched the mixture.
There were no signs of repellency between the two ingredients in the potion. Its stable color and luster meant that there was no decrease in the efficacy of the Hawthorn Flower.
Pu Lisi’s face immediately darkened.
He had claimed that the Hanath Flower would eliminate the Hawthorne Grass’ medicinal effects. Shen Yanxiao’s potion was like a slap in his face.
Shen Yanxiao did not have the time to worry about Pu Lisi’s emotions. She swiftly took a Pixie Flower and then extracted its juice as fast as she possibly could.
“Why are you extracting the juice? You have to add the Pixie Flower as it is!” When Pu Lisi saw Shen Yanxiao’s supposed mistake, his expression recovered.
It was just as he expected; the little kid still lacked skills.
Shen Yanxiao did not pay Pu Lisi’s word any mind, and she continued to process the Pixie Flower with her full attention.
In complete contrast to her relaxed speed when she processed the Hawthorne Grass, she did everything quickly. The stalk of Pixie Flower was liquified in no time at all.
The pool of liquid was crystal clear, and it did not have any impurities in it.
Ye Qing looked surprised by what Shen Yanxiao had done.
For one to be able to process the medicinal ingredients to such perfection in such a short time, that student…
Ye Qing’s expression sobered, and his heart raced as he stared at Shen Yanxiao’s side profile.
Shen Yanxiao then poured the Pixie Flower juice into the crystal bottle. As the emerald-colored liquid dripped into the pale red-colored potion, the color of the fusion began to change. It had turned into a vermillion shade instead of the initial pale red color.
The medicinal liquid inside the crystal bottle was as calm as the lake at night time; it was without any abnormality.
The Hawthorne Grass and the Pixie Flower had combined perfectly together, and there was not even a small sign of repellency.
Pu Lisi’s feigned calmness had shattered at that very moment. He stared at Shen Yanxiao’s potion in bewilderment as he could not believe what was in front of his eyes.
He had spent a year on the potion, and he had never been able to combine those two medicinal ingredients so perfectly together.
