Fever supplement
Mortal tier recipe. No cultivation requirements
Time for some more common medicines over some enhancement drugs. In this case something given to young children, the elderly, or anyone with a weak constitution in general. These supplements are a pretty early recipe, designed by various tribes independently to aid their young during times of sickness. At the time they knew that curing the disease simply remained impossible, but symptoms are always treatable. With so many options in the surrounding they came to form a simply syrupy concoction that stopped a body from killing itself with an intense fever.
It’s really only used in combination with other drugs to form an effective relief and treatment for less serious ailments.
Ingredients and recipe Extreme yin blossom, 1 petal – natural gathering stage flower Bee’s grace, 50 ml – non magical fluid Weeping dandelion, 3 flowers – non magical flower Calming moss, 10 grams – non magical plant
This recipe is on the simpler side even after accounting for the optimization from tens of thousands of years. This is why I try to include as few primeval and tribal medicines as possible, since very few capable of using Qi at the time would never bother with alchemy.
Extreme yin blossom is capable of growing in any below freezing situation, however short winters generally mean the flower is incapable of germinating across the land. They are easily found on higher mountains, but the requirement of a single petal makes this medicine far more affordable.
Bee’s grace is the honey from a certain empathetic bee colony. Quite aptly named heartly wonders after translation, they are more than happy to trade their honey for food. Some birds will even take nectar filled flowers to the hive in exchange for a bit. It’s sweet taste along with relatively good anti-disease properties makes it effective for this sort of thing.
Weeping dandelions are the flowers which release highly nutritious water when their flowerheads are pressed on, or upon removing a petal. We only technically care for the water within flowers, so quickly extract it into a container of your choice.

Lastly we have calming moss. Providing a minor healing effect to your mind, the physical sensation it provides as a result is this cooling feeling. In the past it was assumed this cooling would aid in reducing a fever, but obviously it won’t have any effect. Why use it then?
The mind of a child or elderly is still a very fragile thing, and the last thing you want is the yin Qi damaging anything. Not to mention it may be necessary as the inflicted has gone days without rest, which I have seen in far more severe illnesses.
Start by washing your solid ingredients in warm water. Boiling water contains minute quantities of yang Qi and may destroy part of the yin flower, while the cooling moss is leached far too quickly by such hot water. We simply want it clean, not inert. Make sure to dry off everything before continuing with the recipe.
Crush the calming moss and add the result to your dandelion water. Make sure the dandelion water completely soaks the crushed moss, stirring/shaking depending on the container used. This leaching process will take 8 hours roughly, far faster than the Ankhezian philtre due to us crushing it in advance. It is recommended to not store it anywhere cold whilst the leaching is ongoing.
When the time is up, fish out the moss and wring it of any liquid contained within. Dispose of the moss. It holds no nutritional value to humans, and has lost its restorative component.
Add a single petal of your extreme yin flower to the liquid, with protection of course. Directly touching the insanely cold plant is likely to end with frostbite at the least. Ensure the petal is properly submerged and watch the beautiful process.
Lines of ice crystals will begin forming over the petals’ veins, like glittering crystals on which they proudly shine light everywhere. From here you’ll see tendrils of ice spread throughout the liquid, branching out mindlessly like it’s forming new roots. Finally the tendrils will bloom with more ice crystals, forming an orchard of ice before finally freezing the entire thing solid. Sometimes it’s just nice to take a step back and watch the world for what it is.

Begin heating your bee’s grace to a lukewarm state. In this state you can drop the ice directly into it. You may need to shake the container a few times to force it out due to the liquid expanding while freezing. Coat the ice in your warm honey and wait it out from here. The low heat will slowly break down the petal until it fully dissolves into sandy grains. These are harmless to swallow and contain none of the yin effects.
Finally, continue stirring as the ice finishes melting and the overall consistency loosens. Allow the mixture to cool and bottle the product in a dark container. If brown glass is unavailable then any ceramic jar will work just as fine. Make sure to mark the creation of this medicine as well. Even though it’s made of really good honey, it will not last past 3 months.
Usage
Dosage is dependent on age, and there are several separations so pay close attention.
For babies and infants between 0 – 24 months: Feed 2.5 ml daily, ideally before they go to sleep. In severe cases this can be doubled to 5 ml daily, but never more than this. If symptoms do not alleviate after 4 days you must seek a medical professional
For children between 2 – 8 years: Feed 5 ml daily, once again ideally before sleeping. If they stress that the fever is unbearable then a second dose can be given during that day. A third may be given, but refrain from doing so unless in a life or death emergency. Seek a medical professional if the fever lasts more than 4 days.
For children between 8 – 13 years: They may take two – three doses daily, each of 5 ml. It is recommended they only take two though, or even just one if possible. No more than four should be taken in a day, and it’s in their better interest to not take this amount. Seek a medical professional if the fever lasts more than 6 days.
Anyone 13 or older: May take two – four doses daily, each of 5 ml. Recommended to take one upon waking and another before sleeping, and the others can be used, as necessary. Up to six can be taken on any single day, but this should not be repeated casually. Seek a medical professional if fever lasts more than 7 days.
A small reason why this drug helps. In the state of a fever, your body not only heats up but produces minute build ups of yang poisons. These poisons are mostly as a result of improper chemical reactions, caused by being ill in the first place. As such the yang effect can slowly corrode the mind and body, being just one cause of death during a fever.
The yin Qi will destroy the yang poison while the calming moss’ effect will heal that day’s damage to their mind. Combined stopping two causes of death behind a fever, although it does nothing to stop a disease at its core. The honey slightly impedes the diseases progress but nothing to take note of.
Lastly, the dandelion water here is used due to high nutrient contents. This makes it perfect for rejuvenating a child who has been struggling to eat under the effects of such a fever.
And maybe the most important part. It’s nice and sweet, so very few people would dislike taking this medicine.
