Eight desolate blood powder

The second material Ba Gui gives Fang Yuan for the Second Aperture Gu recipe is a blood colored powder with a rather large origin. The blood of eight kinds of immemorial desolate beasts is mixed, solidified, and then ground to form this powder. ^{ch. 378}

With the land spirit’s assistance, Fang Yuan mixes green pond rotten soil and eight desolate blood powder into evenly distributed soil and plants earth treasury flower in it. The flower decays and dies under the soil’s toxicity and the powder’s violent nature until several attempts finally succeed. Once planted, green pool rotten soil’s toxicity and the blood power of the eight desolate blood powder form a subtle balance that transforms the earth treasury flower Gu, completing the recipe’s first step of rotten soil blood powder, treasure flower in the earth. ^{ch. 378}
