Hong Xiu and the others bowed to Gu Qingxue and explained, “Eldest Miss Gu, you may not know this, but the reason why we are using such a large medicinal cauldron is because we are worried that we will accumulate too much medicinal power, which will be bad for us.
Gu Qingxue narrowed her eyes in confusion. She sat down in the seat Bi Qing had prepared for her and asked Hong Xiu, “Why do you say so?”
Hong Xiu explained patiently, “Because when we are making pills or when Gu Masters are refining Gu Poison, it is inevitable that some poison will be involved. These can not be resolved. Compared to those small medicinal cauldrons, large medicinal cauldrons will allow some poison to disperse, which will instead increase the medicinal effect or reduce the damage of the Gu Poison to the Gu master.
Gu Qingxue furrowed her brows. “Couldn’t we prevent this from the start?” Hong Xiu and the others looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. They were all in a difficult position.
Gu Masters were destined to deal with poison for their entire lives, this was something that no one could change, so even if Gu Masters had always been like this, no one could say anything against it.
Gu Qingxue listened to all of this in silence. She rubbed the space between her brows and said, “Let’s not talk about this, let’s start first. I want to see how you make the pill.”
Hong Xiu and Bi Qing nodded, then began to make the pill in front of Gu Qingxue.
The order in which the doctor refined the pills was actually not much different from when he refined other pills. Gu Qingxue watched quietly, memorizing everything that might be of use to her.
Naturally, she had also discovered some flaws when these doctors were refining it.
Two hours later, Hong Xiu and Bi Qing finally finished refining a new batch of antidotes. However, neither of them had a smile on their faces. They both looked sad.
Taking in the expressions on their faces, Gu Qingxue raised her brows and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Bi Qing looked at the pills and sighed in disappointment, ‘You may not know, but this pill is far worse than we imagined.”
Gu Qingxue pursed her lips, then took the pill from Bi Qings hands and looked at it carefully.
Sure enough, she also found that there were holes of different sizes on the pill. These holes were very fine, and if one did not look carefully, one would not be able to see anything wrong with them, but they directly affected the color and efficacy of the pill.
Hong Xiu also lowered his head in disappointment and sighed, “The way the antidote is concocted is all directly related to the result. This time we failed again, and we’ve made a fool of ourselves.”
“No, I did gain a lot from watching you make pills. However, I feel that there was a problem with the method from the beginning, which led to the failure. I think you can try another method. Although it’s a bit risky, if you succeed, the effect will definitely be better than what you have now.” As Gu Qingxue spoke, she exerted force in her fingers and crushed one of the pills.
“Please show us, Eldest Miss Gu.” Hong Xiu’s eyes were filled with anticipation as she looked at Gu Qingxue, waiting for her to speak.
Gu Qingxue first looked at the pill residue in her hand, then pointed to the tiny holes in the pill for the two people in front of her.. “Do you know why you can’t make a suitable pill?”
