Unable to beg

Sebastian was attempting to concoct an Emerald Serpent Vitality Pill, a potent elixir used by cultivators to stabilize, strengthen, and expand their Spiritual Space.

"Luminous serpent blood, one drop," he muttered quietly, as a drop of red liquid floated in front of him, forming the pill's base.

In the next moment, an orange flame ignited beneath the drop of blood, slowly heating it. Once it reached the right temperature, he flicked his fingers, adding a petal from the Heart of Verdant Lotus, allowing it to dissolve into the blood. The mixture turned a vivid green.

Sebastian's focus was unwavering as he carefully added other ingredients: Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng Root, a shard of Crystallized Dragon Essence, and more, each at the precise time and quantity required.

Now came the most critical stage—formation and cooling. As the ingredients merged, Sebastian began to reduce the heat. The mixture started to harden and take shape.
