Looking at the silent Xu Ruolan, Ning Fan understood and said, "Honey, do you want to help Dad improve his physical condition?"
Xu Ruolan remained silent.
Since that night of Bone Marrow Cleansing, apart from changes in appearance, Xu Ruolan noticed the most important point.
Her physique and ntal state were getting better and better. Every day at work, she was energetic and full of vigor, as if she had endless energy.
Xu Ruolan was well aware of the reason behind her transformation.
Seeing her aging father, Xu Ruolan certainly hoped that her father could stay healthy and accompany her for a long ti.
But thinking about the cost of Bone Marrow Cleansing and the "Book of Changes," Xu Ruolan hesitated to speak up.
"Honey, don't worry. I'll make sure Dad lives a long and healthy life."
"Thank you, dear."
"Do we really need to be so polite between us, husband and wife?"
Behind Ning Fan's smile was a hint of bitterness.
Xu Chengyuan was too old, and his ridians had completely withered.
Helping him improve his physique was by no ans a simple task.
Understand this, just helping Xu Ruolan had exhausted Ning Fan to the point of fainting, which showed the difficulty involved.
"As always, everything relies on strength."
If Ning Fan's cultivation reached the sky, this kind of thing wouldn't be a problem at all.
The saying "When one person attains enlightennt, his entire household ascends," speaks precisely of this principle.
However, that realm was too far out of reach.
Currently, the only thing Ning Fan could do for Xu Chengyuan was one thing.
That was to desperately refine elixirs and use them as health supplents, relying on the spiritual energy within to nourish his organs and other systems.
This was definitely a huge waste.
Xu Chengyuan had not undergone systematic cultivation and couldn't actively refine the spiritual energy entering his body.
However, for the sake of the old man's health, Ning Fan was willing to spare no effort.
As dicinal ingredients from all over the country poured into the villa, Ning Fan began refining elixirs day and night.
After conducting so experints, Ning Fan confird that the elixirs were non-toxic and had no side effects.
The only side effect, if there was one, was the risk of getting a deficiency that couldn't handle the boost.
For adults, as long as the dosage was controlled and not too much was taken at once, the most that could happen would be an occurrence of excitent.
Due to the lack of formulas, Ning Fan's elixirs had only one effect, which was to replenish spiritual energy.
Extracting the essence from dicinal ingredients and refining it into Qi Replenishing Pills.
While refining elixirs, Ning Fan discovered so small tricks.
The better the quality of the dicinal ingredients, the more effective the elixir.
For example, using the roots of a three-hundred-year-old ginseng as a dicinal guide, the Qi Replenishing Pills refined from it were a third more effective than other elixirs.
Unfortunately, such good things were too rare, and most elixirs refined by Ning Fan contained only a small amount of spiritual energy.
According to the Xuan Tian Sect's grading of Spirit Pills, the elixirs he refined barely counted as First Grade, and even then, they were on the lower side.
Pills are graded from one to nine, with First Grade being the lowest.
It was said that a Ninth Grade Pill could allow mortals to beco immortals instantly and ascend.
With the Xuan Tian Sect's foundation, the highest grade of elixir they could refine was no more than Fourth Grade.
It was clear that the art of Alchemy was as difficult as ascending to heaven.
Of course, the Xuan Tian Sect and Ning Fan shared the sa trouble, both were limited by the material for Alchemy.
It was only then that Ning Fan realized that the Corpse Spirit Core he obtained last ti was actually a rare Alchemy material.
With the Corpse Qi contained within the core, if it were refined into a pill, it would be at least First Grade or higher.
And a truly First Grade pill could completely recover the spiritual energy of a Lingyuan Realm expert.
Right now, the best elixir Ning Fan could make only restored eight layers of his spiritual energy, not including the filling of the Golden Core.
Therefore, to save on elixirs, Ning Fan would, unless urgently needed during Alchemy, usually take so ti to visit the market to use the Soul-Stealing Slaying God Technique to refine Blood Qi.
After all, saving a little is still saving a little.
Since confirming that the elixirs had no issues, those around Ning Fan started using them, including Xu's father and daughter trio, Ning's father, Huo Qiuran, Ouyang Feifei... only these close people had the privilege.
Qi Replenishing Pills were indeed hard to co by, so much so that Ning Fan himself was reluctant to use them, which indicated their rarity.
Ning Fan painstakingly consud all the villa's dicinal ingredients within a month, yielding just under a hundred pills.
It wasn't that Ning Fan was lazy; it's just that the precious dicinal ingredients were too scarce.
During this ti, Ning Fan tried using inferior-grade ingredients for Alchemy, but there wasn't a single successful attempt.
This indicated the quality of dicinal ingredients completely affected the success rate of Alchemy.
Apart from keeping ten pills, which were infinitely close to First Grade,
the rest of the elixirs were distributed by Ning Fan according to individual strength and physique and other factors.
Xu Xiaoqing and Ning Qiankun received the sa amount, followed by Ouyang Feifei, with the smallest share naturally going to Xu Chengyuan.
This allocation wasn't because Ning Fan was biased.
Ning Fan could treat First Grade pills like candy, but that doesn't an others could.
Those with cultivation foundations were more likely to refine excess intake.
For those without cultivation experience, Ning Fan repeatedly instructed them to just shave off a little powder and take it with warm water.
When they experienced body heat and ntal excitent, it was a sign of overconsumption, and they needed to reduce the dosage next ti.
As long as the ladies took them consistently, maintaining good health and immunity to all diseases was the least of the benefits; the most important was, Ning Fan could help them lay a solid foundation for cultivation.
Under Ning Fan's special guidance, Xu Ruolan had already developed Qi Sensation.
Everything was moving in a positive direction, but there was still one thing that worried Ning Fan.
He had yet to refine an elixir that was truly successful in the aningful sense.
Indeed! The elixirs refined by Ning Fan were all gray and black lumps, emitting a burnt aroma, and even tasted burnt when eaten.
This appearance was worlds apart from the Xuan Tian Sect's description.
Truly successful elixirs, regardless of grade, even the lowest First Grade Pills,
must be ticulously smooth and aromatic, and activate upon entry,
when consud, the limbs would feel unblocked and light as if floating on the wind.
Yet Ning Fan's elixirs, when eaten, felt like burnt roasted broad beans.
If it weren't for the trust in Ning Fan, the ladies wouldn't have dared to try them.
This was Ning Fan's most vexing problem. He was completely following the Xuan Tian Sect's Alchemy techniques.
But each ti he thought it would go perfectly, the final step of pill Qi refining would inexplicably blow up.
Ning Fan pondered for a long ti but couldn't pinpoint the exact cause.
After all, too many factors affected Alchemy, materials, cultivation, pill furnace, etc., which all determined the success or failure of Alchemy.
Moreover, in the Xuan Tian Sect, except for disciples specializing in Alchemy, other Primordial Spirit Realm disciples wouldn't spend ti on Alchemy.
At that mont, Ning Fan didn't even have a comparison or any idea about the level of his Alchemy skills.
