"This is a Cordyceps-flavored pill, made from coix seed, fire ginseng, stiff worm, earth skin, and cow gallstone fruit."
Tian Lin listened to Zhou Jin's words and said:
"The earth skin and cow gallstone fruit are poisonous, which can be neutralized by coix seed, fire ginseng, and stiff worm. Thus, the Cordyceps-flavored pill would be safe for mortals to consume without being poisoned.
However, when these five medicinal ingredients are combined, while they do neutralize each other's toxicity, they also neutralize each other's medicinal properties. This renders the originally potent Five Flavors Elixir ineffective."
Ju Yunhai laughed heartily upon hearing this and said, "It seems, Tian, that you have not slacked off in your alchemy studies this past month, otherwise you wouldn't have such a thorough understanding of the properties of these Spirit Grasses."
