Han Yu mixed the ground Spirit Fenugreek Seeds with the Blood Gooseberry juice. He broke the Blood Thorn Nettles into smaller pieces and added them in whole. He simmered the mixture for an hour and used precise spirit sense to control the heat until condensation began.

He let them cool and then sealed them in a jade bottle. This was just his test batch to see if he could make them in such conditions after all. He then made a 'proper' weak batch.

The person buying them even whispered, "Whoever made these did not do a terrible job."
Good enough.
Then after a month of repeating this, Han Yu returned with the proper pill.
