Let's not mention how Valley Master Nie and Elder Zhang, with bitter looks on their faces, were waiting outside the pill room, occasionally glancing back to see what Zhang Xiaohua was up to inside. They knew very well that such an act was utterly disgraceful, but their curiosity made it hard for them to resist.
Inside the pill room, Zhang Xiaohua initiated the process by inputting a few spells into the pill furnace and the earth fire beneath it. Once the furnace heated up, he beckoned with his hand and the jade box containing the Flaming Red Grass opened obediently. Then, with a slight move of his finger, he split the Flaming Red Grass in half. With another beckoning gesture of his right hand, half of the grass flew out of the jade box and plunged straight into the pill furnace, while the jade box simultaneously closed.
