But the brilliance of Frank's pill lied in how he used the essence of mudroot to trigger the poisons while leveraging the charred outer layer to absorb them. The mud's natural property of soaking up impurities did the rest.
When Frank swallowed the pill, it first caused the poisonous toxins in his body to react. That made him vomit out the contaminated blood and mud mixture. This process purged the toxins from his body.
Mudroot was one of the cheapest herbs available on the market. Dirt, too, was everywhere.

This technique left the elders of Kornac's Keep in awe. They could not help but be impressed by Frank's method, which earned him the top score of one hundred and fifty points from Yosil.
Even Yosil, with his vast experience, had never thought of such a method.
He recognized that Frank was not just a skilled healer but a person of genuine integrity and profound medical ethics-a true saint in the art of healing.
"Using mudroot and dirt to detoxify the toxins? How is this even possible?" "How could something like this exist?" Kairo was beyond stunned. Today, Frank's display had shattered his long-held beliefs about medicine.
"Draconia's ancient medicine techniques are truly vast and profound. We've barely scratched the surface of the wisdom of our ancestors. It's truly humbling to witness this." Yosil sighed deeply.
In nearly two centuries of learning, Yosil's perspective was renewed today.
It was no wonder Frank had questioned the judges and Kornac's Keep. He had the skills to back up his words.

"To think that our kingdom still has someone like this. It's truly..." Despite his age, Yosil was nearly brought to tears. He felt both moved and proud that such a worthy successor to Draconian medicine existed.

Just as the crowd's attitude toward Frank shifted to respect and admiration, Kairo's roar of defiance drew frowns all around.
Kairo's actions were disgraceful.
et Not only had he targeted Frank unfairly, but he had also hoarded most of the ingredients, leaving Frank with nearly nothing to work with. Despite these dirty tactics, Frank had turned the tables and produced a pill superior and cheaper than Kairo's. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesYet, Kairo still refused to admit his defeat.
