She didn't know if soaking her feet in hot water actually helped to ward off the cold in the game, but at least she got some psychological comfort.
After finishing her work, she took the clothes she had changed out of and put them by the stove to dry, and then she prepared to start making cold medicine.
Crafting potions is different from crafting items from blueprints; potion crafting requires you to do it yourself.
After reading the game instructions, Gu Xi added small leaves and gold and silver leaves to the stone bowl according to the instructions.
The maximum amount of materials that can be added at one time is 10 portions of the potion. Since it was her first time doing this, Gu Xi chose to make only one portion.
Cold medicine recipe: 2 small peony leaves, 3 honeysuckle leaves. Once the recipe is correct, the name of the medicine and the crafting proficiency level will pop up above the stone bowl.
The current display is as follows:
cold medicine
Proficiency: 0
Production progress: 0%
Immediately afterwards, white arrows appeared around the stone pestle, flashing continuously, prompting the player to follow the arrows to craft the item.
Gu Xi picked up the pestle, and with the first step, pointing downwards, smashed it.
After a few slams, the medicinal herbs turned into a pulp, and the production progress reached 20%.
The second step is to circle the arrow and grind it.
Gu Xi was very unfamiliar with this technique, so much so that it broke halfway through the loop.
[Game Hint: The drug preparation step failed. Please try again.]
[Game Tip: Three failures will waste medicinal herbs.]
Having received the warning, Gu Xi had to be even more careful in her next actions. Even if she was a little slower, she absolutely couldn't make a mistake.
Fortunately, this action was repeated only a few times. After grinding the medicinal herbs in the mud three times, the production progress reached 50%.
The third step is to make the arrows into an "O" shape and then grind them.
The difference between the second and third steps is that the circle in the second step resembles a mosquito coil, while the third step involves actually making a circle.
As Gu Xi became more skilled, she gradually noticed that the originally murky green liquid was becoming increasingly transparent. Finally, when the production reached 100%, the cold medicine became colorless.
Her proficiency level also improved by 1 point.
[One cold medicine has been successfully made. Automatic bottling will begin.]
[Insufficient vials detected; bottling failed.]
[Game Tip: Unbottled potion, please use it within 12 hours.]
Three messages in a row answered Gu Xi's question.
But she still had one question in her mind: What would happen if she took the expired medicine?
Looking at the potion she had just made, she decided to put the question aside. The answer to this question might be somewhat dangerous, and she couldn't do it herself.
Gu Xi found a bowl, poured the clear medicine into it, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
The colorless cold medicine has a very slight bitter taste, just a very faint one, which does not affect its consumption.
[Game Notification: Player Gu Xi has not yet received the cold debuff. Using cold medicine will grant 24 hours of cold immunity.]
Huh? Gu Xi looked confused. So she just sneezed and didn't catch a cold?! (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
