Arafat, with his arm around Xiang Wan, said to her with a smug look on his face, "My beloved, do you see? The fountain of youth we drink is brewed from these things. Just one last thing is needed for it to be a complete success."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Wan's curiosity was immediately piqued. She wanted to go and see, but Arafat let go of her hand and allowed her to walk forward.
When the group saw Xiang Wan approach, they stopped what they were doing and knelt down before her. The stone platform they had surrounded was now revealed.

The blood had a faint golden hue. After flowing out of the stone platform, it was collected in jars, which were then replaced with fresh ones.
