Dust flew up.
She hung the lantern high up.
The entire layout of the room is laid out before you.
All the necessary equipment for alchemy was readily available.
Not only that,
There were also many miscellaneous notes neatly arranged on the shelf.
It was contained in a black talisman bag.
The dust on it has accumulated to a very thick layer.
She didn't move, but found a relatively clean spot and sat cross-legged.
The spiritual energy slowly circulated throughout the body.
In the corner, something was twinkling, like a star fallen to earth.
Qi Huang noticed it quickly, got up and walked over.
On the edge of an old inkstone, carved a miniature mountain.
The stars twinkled.
Qi Huang raised his hand,
With a sudden grasp, spiritual energy gathered in his palm,
