“Where’s the bag with the medicinal herbs that I gave you earlier?”

After taking Mo Ziyan’s pulse, Qiu Nuo glanced at the Lone Wolf mercenaries before asking.

“Are you sure that those inferior herbs will be able to treat this poison?” Mo Ziyan asked doubtfully.

“Just hand it over and stop yapping.” Qiu Nuo stared down at him. If she had met such a disobedient patient in her previous life, she would have kicked him out a long time ago.

Upon receiving the bag, Qiu Nuo retrieved a few rudimentary tools and more than a dozen fresh herbs.

This was a prescription that she had seen in the Collection of Ancient Home Remedies. It gave rise to a medicine that could help to regulate the body.

This medicine was very mild and could be used by any ordinary person.

Although it was impossible to properly regulate the toxicity within Mo Ziyan’s body, it would still be a good reliever of pain.

As far as Qiu Nuo knew, this medicine was a benign pain-killer.

Why was it benign? Because this medicine was quite different from other pain-killers. Not only did it have no side effects, but it would also even be beneficial for the body if it was consumed long-term.

Because of the limited conditions, Qiu Nuo could only pick the ingredients for this medicine from the Qiu family’s medicinal garden.

Given her current skills, she wasn’t confident in making a better pill either.

“You prepared this medicine?”

Seeing Qiu Nuo’s preparations, Mo Ziyan could guess what she was about to do next.

But he didn’t think that these inexpensive and low-grade medicinal herbs would amount to much…

Medication could be divided into two types: pills and medicine.

Pills were one of the most complicated things in the refining process of all medications. One usually required a lot of experience to be able to create a pill.

Besides, there were so many different forms of medicine. They came in pastes, powdered forms, and liquids, which were the most common in the market.

It was obvious from Qiu Nuo’s set of simple tools that she was going to prepare a brew. A special stove was required to create a pill, after all.

And having a good pill stove was a symbol of an apothecary.

“Don’t worry. I won’t do anything I’m not confident of.”

Qiu Nuo thought that Mo Ziyan was worried that she would be unsuccessful in preparing a prescription and gave him a reassuring look before preparing the herbs.

First, she removed the unusable parts of the herbs before washing them with water.

For convenience, Qiu Nuo had spared no expense and had simply used her Spirit Fountain.

Then, she added a large bowl of water into a small mantle, releasing her soul power to heat it.

Qiu Nuo’s soul power was a deep red color that made it look as though a red lotus had bloomed at the bottom of the small mantle.

After the Spirit Fountain started to boil, Qiu Nuo added the different herbs in succession and, before long, a fragrant smell of medicinal herbs wafted through the air.

As time passed, the number of herbs in front of Qiu Nuo decreased and all that was left was a bowl of pale pink liquid.

Soon after, Qiu Nuo started to prepare the remaining herbs in front of her. These were the most important ones.

Grinding, juicing, calcination, and purification.

Qiu Nuo’s actions were clearly unfamiliar, and it was obvious that she was a novice. It could even be said that she had no experience in refining medicine at all.

In reality, that was absolutely true.

However, while her movements were slow, they were eerily accurate and precise. Moreover, she possessed sufficient mental strength for her to control every detail perfectly.

In the end, five liquids of different colors were prepared in different crystal bottles.

With that, the first step was completed.

Next, she had to mix the five different liquids. That was the most critical step!

The job of many apothecary apprentices was preparing the ingredients.

What Qiu Nuo had just done was simply preparing the ingredients. She hadn’t actually started the refining process yet.

Qiu Nuo took a deep breath before holding up the pale pink liquid that was the main medication and pouring it into an empty crystal bottle. After pouring about a third of the liquid into the new bottle, her movements stopped.

Then, she placed the crystal bottle over the furnace and heated it until the pale pink liquid started to evaporate, before adding the second liquid.

This time, she added only three drops…

As the temperature of the liquid increased, Qiu Nuo added the three remaining liquids into the mixture, each of a different amount.

Eventually, when the liquid in the crystal bottle turned clear, Qiu Nuo finally retracted her soul power.

Qiu Nuo shook the crystal bottle, realizing that the contents were a little thick, and a moving fragrance wafted out of the bottle.

It seemed like the refining process had been a success.

However, Qiu Nuo decided to take a small sip of the liquid to be on the safe side.

Even with just that small sip, Qiu Nuo felt relaxed all over, as though it had rid her whole body of tiredness.

And most importantly, it was delicious!

“Alright, it’s good. Drink it!” Qiu Nuo handed the crystal bottle over to him.

“Don’t tell me that this is your first time brewing medicine!” Mo Ziyan looked at her in disbelief.

There were all sorts of hints that this young lady was nothing more than a novice at refining medicine.

But even so, her first concoction had been a success?
