With the medicinal essence fully stabilized, Su Ming guided the final ingredient into the center of the cauldron.
The Nine-Leaf Soul Lotus.
Under the gentle flow of the medicinal liquid, the delicate lotus dissolved without suffering the slightest damage, its pure essence blending seamlessly with the rest of the mixture.
