The sun was considered to be bright and radiant on this day.
In the cottage, Wang Yao had finished the morning's Qi practice and had started on his chores. He put the herbs that he had prepared beforehand into the pot to cure them. After the temperature was appropriate, he tallied the numbers, took the herbs out and categorized them. Subsequently, he used a crusher or stone mortar to crush them. His strength was extraordinary and since the equipment used was antiquities; it was relatively easy for him to get the hang of it. Very quickly, the herbs were crushed into tiny pieces. They were then sifted. The process was repeated a few times so that all the herbs were ground into fine powder, sorted and set aside for subsequent use.
He took out a tray, which was also an antique. This was obtained with Tian Yuantu's help.
Swabbed with water, he sprinkled the grounded powder and both his arms set about gently tossing the powder about.
