Hearing Xiao Yu's words, Han Qianqian unwillingly threw the pill in her hand at him. Han Jue had given it to her for self-defense. Even an ordinary Dou Shi would suffer a brief spell of dizziness if struck by it.

Once Devouring Hundred Herbs matured, it could be swallowed directly and would raise a Dou Emperor's strength
