"Young Miss, your items are here."
The young female servant speaks as she sets down a package on the table. Mei Hui walks into the room, taking the package and dismissing the servant as she makes her way into a private room that the servants were forbidden to enter.
Opening the door reveals a room smelling of herbs. Herb were all around hanging to dry, growing in pots all over, jars of miscellaneous stuff scattered around on the countertops surrounding the three sides of the room. On one walls of the room were shelves containing pills of different colors, sizes, and even smells.
In the middle of the room was a single cauldron. Half of Mei Hui's size, looking of green jade with flowing patterns all around and handle's shaped like majestic dragons. The whole cauldron looked magnificent, emitting a noble aura making one feel suppress and looking clear as ice and clean as jade makes on feel reluctant to even gaze upon it.
Mei Hui walks to the counter, setting down her package as she opens it, ignoring the note on top she pulls out a beautiful engraved wood box. Immediately opening it and grabbing the materials inside.
If other people were in the room they would've coughed blood, as the wood was Yang Wood, very rare, resilient and sourced from the Yang Mountains, a place where ferocious magical beasts live, and rarely anyone capable of leaving. It is also the only place where in the inner regions with the most powerful beasts the Yang Wood can grow. Near cultivator's it aides them exponentially, and that's only one of its countless effects, which makes it capable of even cultivators fighting and paying astronomical prices for it.
And to be set aside like some common thing by an average youth who shouldn't have the chance to even lay her eyes on it in her life. Really makes one cough up blood.
Mei Hui takes the materials, prepping them as she puts them into the cauldron and sends out a pure flame, the color a golden amber. After mixing the ingredients and putting the cauldron lid on as she waits for a half shichen.
When the cauldron begins to emit a sweet and fresh scent, prompting her to retract the flame. Mei Hui opens the lid as the scent spreads around the room, inside the cauldron are three blue pills as small as a pinkie.
Immediately she grabs the pills, popping one and putting the others into a jar and setting it down.
She bends over, grabbing her face as she presses down the searing pain as she continues to move her hands over her face.
