Chapter 808: We’ll Take Down Hang Seng Tomorrow!

Back home, Yan Aohan was in the study reviewing documents. Qin Tianxiang helped put things in the kitchen and then left. Zhu Yanyi did not keep him. She cooked four dishes and one soup in the kitchen before calling Yan Aohan out to eat

After dinner, Qu Zhong’s poisonous herbs arrived. Zhu Yanyi went straight to the lab to extract the medicine. Since she used her special ability, extracting fifty kilograms of toxic herbs was quite fast. When she finished, she felt her ability had improved. It was a small change, but she could feel it.

Her ability had barely progressed in recent years. She had tried extracting thousand-year-old herbs from her Ruyi Space, but there was no change. Now, just extracting ordinary poison herbs brought progress. She realized her ability needed to extract the essence of toxic herbs to grow.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yanyi took some toxic herbs from her space and continued extracting. Her ability fluctuated again. She was now sure: the more toxic and older the herb, the greater the progress. However, she stopped. This was a lab, not her space. Toxic herbs are called "toxic" because they can pollute the air. Ordinary ones were fine, but older, stronger ones could spread through the air and cause trouble. If she wanted to continue, she had to go into her space.

Zhu Yanyi did not enter her space immediately. She was used to going in only late at night when it was quiet and no one was watching.

She checked the extracted poison to make sure it was safe, packed it up, and started studying the lab equipment. Her extraction skill was high, but she could not let others know her method. She needed to find a normal way to do it.

She played with the instruments, thinking about how to change them. She lit an alcohol lamp and placed a test tube on it. She watched the distilled water drip out. When the water in the tube was almost gone, she added a little more. Suddenly, she had an idea. Water vapor only comes out if water is added continuously. If she used her ability to stimulate the plants while extracting them, she could extend the extraction time. Extracting and stimulating at the same time would make the plant cycle longer, resulting in much richer essence. It was just a theory, so she decided to try it.

She took a plant, processed it, and put it in the machine to start extracting.

This time, she used external fire for extraction. Zhu Yanyi focused on the plant inside. While watching, she slowly placed her ability on the plant to extend its extraction cycle. After a while, when a drop of essence fell into the bottle, Zhu Yanyi smiled. It worked! The essence was indeed much richer. Then, what if she stimulated the plant first, and then extracted it?
