"First we need fire," Number One spoke as his palm opened and a white flame appeared to serve him. It flickered a few times before finally settling down like a good puppy.
The flame needed to be used to heat up the golden cauldron to the right temperature before he was finally able to throw the Soul Herbs inside. They were hovering in the air around him even though there was no wind so he only needed to reach out to grab the right one.
"Throw in and close the lid… Throw in and close the lid…" Number One repeated the same motion every few seconds until all Soul Herbs turned into liquid. Normally he would have to wait longer for the Soul Herbs to melt but that only applied to higher-ranked pills.
"Now the last step," Number One muttered as he proceeded to slowly withdraw his flame. He waited a second for the golden cauldron to cool down before grabbing its handles.
