Xu Fan had not even started to refine medicine when a sportily dressed beauty with short hair hurriedly ran over from outside the door—it was Ye Xiaoning.

Although Xu Yixue did not know what kind of medicine Xu Fan was selling in his gourd, she always felt that Xu Fan was up to some conspiracy, so she secretly sent a text message to Ye Xiaoning, who was waiting in the car outside, to also come inside the house.

“Sister Yixue, what’s going on?” Ye Xiaoning asked softly as she approached Xu Yixue.

Ye Xiaoning had a very good figure, almost without an ounce of extra fat due to frequent exercise, her proportions almost perfect. Even through her loose sportswear, one could sense the perfect contours beneath the fabric.

“Xiao Ning, go upstairs and take care of Tongtong,” Xu Yixue instructed.

“Okay,” Ye Xiaoning nodded and turned to walk upstairs.

As Xu Fan watched Ye Xiaoning’s retreating figure, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, a glint of light passed through his eyes, and then he slowly turned his head back.

“What are you looking at!” Xu Yixue said coldly to Xu Fan.

Xu Fan returned a look that said, “I don’t want to stoop to your level,” and, turning his head, he took the bag of medicinal herbs and headed for the kitchen.

He was indeed going to the kitchen to concoct elixirs.

Lu Chennong and Zhang Lijuan followed Xu Fan into the kitchen step by step, and Xu Yixue, not to be outdone, also followed behind.

Lu Chennong and Zhang Lijuan wanted to witness a miracle firsthand, while Xu Yixue had come specifically to expose any fraud and dismantle the stage.

Xu Fan ignored Xu Yixue’s intentions and took out a small bowl for cooking.

He took out the medicinal herbs from the plastic bag, found a kitchen scale, and carefully measured out the proportions of each herb.

The excess herbs were then tossed back into the plastic bag.

After weighing them out, Xu Fan took the herbs above the small bowl, and with a gentle squeeze of his hands, he ground the herbs into powder.

This skill was far more efficient than a grinding machine. Lu Chennong, watching this behind Xu Fan, couldn’t help but admire that Master Xu was not only a master of alchemy but also his physical skill was not inferior to a real martial artist. It seemed he had indeed hit the jackpot.

After Xu Fan had crushed all the herbs, he added a little bit of purified water, then stirred the herbal powder in the bowl into a paste.

Having done all this, Xu Fan poured the dark paste onto a glass dish, opened the microwave behind him, and put it inside.

Everyone was a little puzzled; wasn’t the alchemy they saw on TV, like what the Supreme Old Lord did, involving three children holding big banana leaf fans, fanning and lighting a fire in a pill furnace as tall as a person?

Xu Fan, what are you up to? It looked more like he was using a microwave to make cream bread. It was too fake, lacking any semblance of authenticity in alchemy.

Xu Fan rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, did you think I wanted to use this microwave for alchemy? It was really a matter of limited materials and no choice.

The rare herbs Lu Chennong found for Xu Fan were supposed to take at least a month to locate, but he had managed to find them so quickly.

Xu Fan had not yet created his own alchemy equipment, so he had to make do with the existing appliances to refine the pills first.

Xu Fan couldn’t help but feel secretly fortunate that he had succeeded in the Marrow Cleansing the night before and stepped into the Qi Practicing Realm, already possessing a Qi Sea to use spiritual power at will.

Otherwise, relying solely on the microwave, there was no way he could have concocted the Detoxification Pill.

Xu Fan saw that everything was ready and stretched out his hand to set the timer on Weibo for 10 minutes.

Through the glass window of the microwave, one could clearly see, the plate that was put in, started to slowly rotate inside the microwave.

Xu Fan leaned one hand against the side of the microwave, a steady stream of spiritual power emanating from his hand, feeding into the microwave.

Alchemy is an indispensable skill in the cultivation world.

As the former Five-Direction Heavenly Emperor, Xu Fan had five Primordial Sacred Beasts with huge appetites, each of them grand consumers of elixirs.

Merely concocting elixir feed for the five Holy Beast pets was a colossal project, but of course, such massive consumption also tempered Xu Fan’s alchemy skills, making him one of the top-tier craftsmen in that art.

Now, for a mere detoxification pill, Xu Fan didn’t even need a cultivation-specific alchemy furnace. With the aid of spiritual power and this mundane world’s microwave, he could also produce the elixir.

The microwave’s countdown was ticking away second by second, and Xu Fan’s hand remained leaning on the microwave, slowly channeling spiritual power into it.

Lu Chennong, Zhang Lijuan, and Xu Yixue were all watching the microwave’s glass plate without batting an eye.

The originally transparent glass was gradually turning crimson.

“It won’t explode, will it?” Xu Yixue asked, looking at the red-hot glass plate with some concern.

Lu Chennong and Zhang Lijuan also had solemn expressions on their faces.

In contrast, Xu Fan appeared unconcerned about the changes in the glass plate as if there was nothing of note.

“If you’re afraid, hide outside,” Xu Fan said to Xu Yixue with an indifferent expression.

“Hmph, I want to see for myself what tricks you’re playing,” Xu Yixue retorted with a cold snort, seemingly picking a bone with Xu Fan.

Five minutes passed slowly, and under everyone’s gaze, the blob of blackish mush of herbs on the plate first expanded, then astonishingly turned into a bright liquid, shimmering with an orange-yellow luster inside the plate.

The liquid formed from the herbs in the plate was none other than the pure medicinal fluid created by Xu Fan’s pressure of spiritual energy, having stripped the impurities from within the herbs.

Then, ripples started to emerge from the medicine liquid in the plate, growing gradually until they formed a vortex.

At this moment, Xu Fan was enshrouded in a misty aura that appeared faint yet substantial. His expression was calm and tranquil, epitomizing a hermit’s detachment from this world. Already handsome in appearance, the focused visage of him refining the pill was exceedingly attractive.

As a charming gentleman in this troubled world, the phrase flashed through Lu Chennong’s mind. The current Xu Fan truly resembled an immortal out of this world.

And for Xu Yixue, her heart was profoundly shaken.

Why was he becoming more and more attractive? Six years ago, it was his appearance that had drawn me to him. Six years later, today, looking at him only magnified his handsomeness and added an ethereal quality to his charm.

A ripple passed through Xu Yixue’s beautiful eyes as she gazed unblinkingly at Xu Fan.

Meanwhile, Xu Fan was oblivious to the thoughts of the people outside; his entire focus was absorbed in the process of alchemy.

As time ticked by, the liquid in the glass plate slowly shrank and solidified into a small, round ball.

“It’s ready!” Xu Fan quietly exhaled, withdrew his hand, and said to Lu Chennong.
