The elixir slid down her throat, leaving a cool, stimulating sensation and the faint fragrance of mint.
Enveloped by Spiritual Qi, the elixir digested swiftly. The coolness she'd swallowed instantly transformed into a searing pain—a pain that didn't just affect her body, but pierced deep into her Divine Soul.

"Xiaoxiao, the Nine-Striped Divine Storage Pill refined by Elder Lu far surpasses an ordinary Spirit-Storage Pill in both purity and medicinal strength. That's why it will be much more difficult to absorb.
