Chapter 1233: Lava Based Herbs
Fang tossed a ring over, "it has a special zone inside filled with air, so herbs won't die. Tsk! I collected these from the heart of a volcano and wanted to sell them later on at a high price, tsk!"
"Thanks," William didn't reject the gift, threw away all the herbs he got out, and replaced them with fewer herbs. Yet these ones were like burning lava, all deep red in colour. And just by taking them out, the entire atmosphere felt like it was an oven!
This didn't happen when half of the hall was filled with fire based herbs. William looked at these lava based herbs and smiled. "This gives me a good feeling," he muttered before starting to use these herbs to make a potion.
"Why so?" Fang who acted confident moments ago looked doubtful, and more curious than ever. Find this and more on m-v lem|p-yr
"They give me the same feeling of Yang herbs," William felt the same similarity when he took these lava based herbs out.
That kind of warmth and heat was what made Yang herbs stand apart from other fire based herbs. And yet, this was way less than how hot the real Yang herbs would emit.
"I knew it, hahaha," Fang laughed before he started to cough, making William shake his head.
"Just rest, old man, or else my potion won't be useful anymore."
"Cough! Cough!" Fang wanted to reprimand William, but his condition was indeed getting worse. So he returned to being silent, trying to reserve his power as much as he could.
As for William, he turned his full focus on making the potion. Even if the lava based herbs got a sniff from the Yang element, they were still pretty low in level and much weaker in effect.
Yet they were way better than the fire based herbs he kept trying to make the potion with. As the lava based herbs were useful in some sort, William shifted his focus towards making this potion succeed.
It wasn't an easy job at all. This time he needed to tweak and try the herbs in different forms. The amount Fang had in that ring was indeed plenty for someone in this tiny world, but it wasn't enough for William to try freely.
So, he started to use the herbs in scanty amounts first, testing and experimenting. The potion wasn't that hard to make, but he didn't know if it was going to be helpful to Fang or not.
The potion he selected to make was how the spirit power regeneration potion worked. Yet it was used to slowly nourish the Yang spirit element in one's body.
It was a concept not known in this world, and yet its main effect was to arouse and augment any trace of Yang element and strengthen it. It was the first time for William to try something like that, and he hoped Fang would get some benefits from it and heal.
The main factor here was if Fang's body had any sort of Yang power. He once heard his master speaking about a theory, which considered any master's spirit to have all sorts of spirit elements in different status.
"If not, I hope this potion can slightly counter the effect of the Yin poison in your body," after an hour or so, William finally managed to make the first potion.
To do it, he needed to alter the initial recipe, adding even a few high grade fire herbs from his storage. This time the fire based herbs he used didn't end up exploding, instead they merged nicely with lava based herbs.
"Here, drink this and let me know what you feel…"
"Give me this…" before he'd even complete his words, Fang grabbed the bottle as if his life depended on it, and literally it was.
William simply smiled while watching the old man empty the bottle content in his mouth. "Damn! It's burning like hell!!"
"Tried to warn you, hehehe," William rubbed his nose before adding, "now you need to help the potion, get down here and start training."
"Why are you acting as if you are my master?" Fang rolled his eyes, but he didn't notice that slight tinge of vitality ran through his body, ending up for him regaining part of his annoying temper.
"Perfect," William stood on the side, watching while Fang started to train. The moment the old man started, his body started to shine with a faint orange colour.
This was the colour of the Yang spirit element, diluted and weak, but it was still there. Seeing this made William heave a sigh of relief. "It now works, the issue is will it be enough to cleanse his body of the Yin power or not?"
As the potions showed evidence of generating Yang power, it was now up to how much of it was needed to counter the Yin in Fang's body. And as William suspected, this potion didn't help for more than ten minutes, then all the orange halo vanished at once.
"This…"
"Is pretty expected, and good as well," William saw how Fang looked depressed and disappointed, but he didn't feel so. He knew they cut a long mile in treating the old man, and all they needed now was to keep trying.
One potion after another, one orange halo after another, until William exhausted all the lava based herbs he got from Fang. he didn't stop there, as he fetched his friends to ask Lara in the city to get him any lava based herbs.
Of course getting such precious herbs wasn't easy, and the amount they gathered came with a high price and ended up with more rounds of healing.
"I'm feeling better, a lot better," it took around two days to exhaust all the lava based herbs they got.
"Are you sure?" William felt this wasn't over yet. Even if he made lots of potions, he knew this wasn't even close to enough to heal the old man. And all he was feeling right now was simply a weakening of the Yin power.
