"I think it's still decent. After all, apart from the appearance, the efficacy isn't bad."
Ning Fan comforted himself, standing up and leaving the Quiet Room.
The herbs he purchased earlier were already used up, and the latest batch was on its way, but the quantity was much less than the first ti.
Not knowing the first ti, he bought a lot randomly. With experience, Ning Fan naturally could make adjustnts in ti.
Ning Fan had a premonition that herbs eting his standards would beco increasingly scarce.
"This is a troubleso matter."
Thinking of this, Ning Fan slightly frowned.
Even with today's technology, there are still places humanity hasn't fully understood.
Ning Fan believed that in those people-free cliffs or deep in the mountains and forests, there must be better quality herbs, but he couldn't stay in these places collecting herbs every day.
"Alchemy truly isn't sothing everyone can afford to pursue."
Ning Fan sighed.
In the Xuan Tian Sect, those who t the alchemy requirents were a di a dozen.
Basically, anyone with Lingyuan Realm cultivation would have so grasp of alchemy, only differing in success rates and quality.
Yet even so, in the Xuan Tian Sect, elixirs were considered precious reward items.
Even the most ordinary first-grade elixir was not obtainable without rit.
The scarcity of elixirs stemd from their challenging production.
Ning Fan didn't know what kind of materials the Xuan Tian Sect needed for elixir making.
Anyway, he discovered through his own alchemy during this period that artificially cultivated herbs couldn't produce spiritual energy.
Even if there was occasional success, the spiritual energy in the elixir was utterly minimal.
Using artificially grown or dosticated herbs for alchemy was entirely a waste of ti.
Thinking about this, Ning Fan complained, "So picky. Where is there so much wild?"
Gazing at the empty villa, Ning Fan walked straight toward his room.
With his mind tightly wound for so many days, as he relaxed, he inevitably felt drowsy.
Ning Fan deliberately indulged himself with rest, and when he woke again, he found it was already night.
Xu Ruolan and Xu Xiaoqing were by his side, looking at him with concern.
Ning Fan asked, not understanding, "Why are you guys here?"
Xu Xiaoqing said, "It's already evening, of course we're here."
Ning Fan laughed, "It seems I slept rather long."
"Darling, maybe you should rest first. We still have plenty of elixirs left."
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoqing nodded in agreent, "Yeah. Brother-in-law, just listen to sister. You sll like herbal dicine all over, like you just ca out of a dicine jar."
"I'll be more careful next ti."
Feeling too anxious, Ning Fan ended up alchemy continuously without rest.
Xu Ruolan and the others, if they took it a day earlier, they could benefit a day earlier.
Ning Fan further instructed, "Honey, don't stop acquiring herbs, doesn't matter how much it costs."
Money could be earned again if it's gone.
Those wild herbs, once used up, would diminish in number.
"I know what to do."
Xu Ruolan wasn't miserly; she was just too focused on her career.
Qi Replenishing Pill, a Spirit Pill that could extend life, was a treasure money couldn't buy.
Upon learning its efficacy, her first thought was its comrcial value.
Fortunately, Ning Fan noticed in ti; otherwise, Xu Ruolan might have already sent the finished elixir to her pharmaceutical company for testing.
"Rember, no matter what, don't reveal anything about the Qi Replenishing Pill to outsiders."
After saying this, Ning Fan looked at soone, especially reminding, "Especially you, Xiaoqing."
Xu Xiaoqing looked upset, "What did I do wrong!"
"I'm afraid you'd boast and inadvertently spread it, making it known to the world."
An elixir that can prolong life would drive the world mad.
This isn't simple monetary gain; everyone can't escape from birth, aging, illness, and death, especially in the face of the final stage—death.
For the wealthy, lifespan is always their greatest concern.
If Ning Fan didn't want to be against the world, the best was to make money quietly.
Otherwise, if the outside world found out, they wouldn't let Ning Fan off so easily.
People like Xu Ruolan, Xu Chengyuan, and others were very aware of the severity, and Ning Fan believed they wouldn't spread it.
Lan Kexin, though a bit naive, was completely obedient to Ning Fan.
Since Ning Fan ntioned the seriousness, even if Lan Kexin died, she wouldn't spill a word.
Among these people, only Xu Xiaoqing wasn't quite reliable, at least from Ning Fan's perspective.
Listening to Ning Fan's pointed remark, Xu Xiaoqing pouted, silently protesting, sowhat feeling guilty.
Xu Xiaoqing hadn't revealed the matter; she just did so wasteful acts.
"Darling, don't worry; I'll remind her."
Hearing her sister's words, Xu Xiaoqing could only sigh helplessly.
There were still so herbs in the villa; this ti, Ning Fan wasn't too eager to succeed, focused on finding the reason for his alchemy failures.
Originally hoping for ticulous work to yield fine results, but reality was cruel,
Except for one more, whose dicinal power was infinitely close to a first-grade Qi Replenishing Pill, the appearance was still unbearable.
Feeling dejected, Ning Fan walked alone to the courtyard to enjoy the sun.
Watching the local dog running chaotically on the lawn, Ning Fan called, "Grey, co here."
The local dog Grey glanced at Ning Fan, then excitedly ran over with its tongue out.
"Little guy, you've grown quite fast."
Stroking Grey's shiny and smooth coat, Ning Fan found it hard to believe,
Just a month ago, the dirty little puppy had grown to the size of a three-year-old child.
"What did you eat to grow so big?"
Just as Ning Fan was saying this jokingly, his expression suddenly beca serious, feeling a spiritual power fluctuation in Grey's body.
"Strange! Why does it have spiritual power?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fan gritted his teeth and uttered three words, "Xu Xiaoqing."
Who else but this wasteful girl would be willing to give a precious Qi Replenishing Pill to an animal?
When Ning Fan bought Grey, it was just a newly born puppy,
Seeing it malnourished and weak, Ning Fan thought of buying it to test dicine, but eventually was stopped by Xu Xiaoqing.
"Surely Xiaoqing saw Grey in a bad state and decided to give it the Qi Replenishing Pill."
Thinking of this, Ning Fan felt imnsely pained, having his painstaking effort squandered by a dog.
"You little brat, I'll deal with you when you get back."
Ning Fan lifted Grey's two front limbs, comnting, "They've grown so big, there's more at on them, especially the front legs. Even thinking of a dog at hot pot makes my mouth water."
at supplented with spiritual energy not only becos tender but also greatly benefits the human body upon consumption.
During Ning Fan's period of testing dicines on poultry, the whole family enjoyed a feast.
But afterward, there was no more opportunity; after confirming the elixirs were safe, Ning Fan couldn't continue wasting resources.
