At 7:30 p.m that day.
In the alchemy room of the poison section.
Xia Zhou was operating the bellows at the alchemy platform, maintaining the temperature in the furnace. A turquoise liquid filled with tiny bubbles was boiling in the furnace, sending strands of green smoke into the air.
A few minutes later, the water evaporated almost completely, leaving a layer of crispy yellow-green crust on the pot's walls.
Using a sharpened shovel, he scraped off the crust, ground them into powder with a mortar, poured in a prepared potion, and mixed them as a base drug.
