Qi Xiu eyed the two bowls of Golden Lock Qi-Boosting Kidney Strengthening Soup before him. He lifted one bowl, took a sip, rinsed his mouth, then took another sip from the rim of the second bowl. Indeed, the medicinal properties were not the slightest bit off! Setting down the bowl, Qi Xiu revealed a blissful smile.
Both bowls of Golden Lock Qi-Boosting Kidney Strengthening Soup had been concocted by him. The difference lay in the second bowl; this particular bowl of medicinal soup had been specially brewed for him to test the Divine Marvels acquired from mastering the First Realm of Alchemy. The outcome was clearly very satisfying to him.
"Originally, I thought the mastery of the First Realm in Alchemy would be like calligraphy, attaching Divine Marvels to the medicine, enhancing or changing its properties. I didn't expect it would take this form; it seems I oversimplified it."
Sitting cheerfully in his rocking chair, Qi Xiu appeared carefree and content.
