Xu Fan stretched out his hand, gently opened the microwave’s glass door, and, ignoring the scalding temperature of the glass plate, carried it in his hand.

A fragrance of herbs wafted from the elixir on the glass plate, causing everyone standing in the kitchen to wrinkle their noses and deeply inhale the pleasant scent.

Xu Fan took out a crystal-clear glass vial from his person. With a flick of his wrist, he shook the elixirs on the plate into the air and caught them with the vial in his left hand.

The elixirs fell precisely into the vial.

Lu Chennong, Zhang Lijuan, and Xu Yixue all widened their eyes as they looked at the small glass vial in Xu Fan’s hands, inside which was a round medicinal pill shimmering with a golden luster.

They had not expected that Xu Fan could truly refine the brought herbs into the legendary elixir. They simply could not comprehend why such a significant transformation occurred when Xu Fan placed his hand on the microwave, turning a pile of blackened herbs into a glinting gold elixir. It was truly magical.

“Elder Xu, it’s… it’s done already?” Lu Chennong’s voice trembled as he asked Xu Fan.

“Haha, of course! The Jinling Detox Pill, one pill goes down, and all poisons dissipate,” Xu Fan said with a smile as he shook the small vial in his hand.

“When can I take this medicine?” Lu Chennong said a bit eagerly.

“You can take it right away. Let’s go out and talk,” Xu Fan said, pushing open the door and leading everyone out of the kitchen.

In the living room, Xu Fan handed the small vial to Lu Chennong, who was sitting on the couch, and then said to Xu Yixue, “Could you help pour a cup of warm water?”

“Why should I pour water for you?” Xu Yixue huffed, adopting an arrogant lady’s attitude.

“It’s for Brother Lu, to take the elixir,” Xu Fan said.

Xu Yixue gave Xu Fan a sharp look, thinking to herself that she would reluctantly comply for Uncle Lu’s sake.

Afterwards, Xu Yixue ran to the water purifier and began to get water.

Meanwhile, Lu Chennong was becoming impatient, examining the small vial Xu Fan had given him from all sides with curiosity.

When Xu Yixue placed a cup filled with warm water on the table, Xu Fan said to Lu Chennong, “First, drink down this cup of water, then wait for five seconds before swallowing the pill directly.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Chennong lifted the cup and drained the water in one gulp.

Then, he poured the golden elixir from the glass vial and with an ‘ah-wooh’, swallowed it.

The elixir melted in his mouth, and the liquid followed the water he had just drunk, slowly flowing into Lu Chennong’s lower abdomen.

Lu Chennong felt extreme comfort throughout his body; it was as if a warm patch had been placed inside his abdomen, providing a cozy sensation that was indescribably soothing.

“Now the medicinal power has entered your body and has started to eliminate the Shiguyin poison inside you,” Xu Fan said, watching as Lu Chennong’s eyes narrowed slightly, a sign that the medicine was taking effect.

“Elder Lu, how do you feel?” Zhang Lijuan asked expectantly, having monitored Lu Chennong since he swallowed the elixir, worried that something might go wrong.

“Very good, very powerful,” Lu Chennong replied, feeling the effect of the elixir within him. The faint pain and cold sensation that used to haunt his lower abdomen were gradually disappearing.

“Really? That means…” Zhang Lijuan covered her mouth, somewhat excited.

“I feel like the poison in my body has been cleared,” Lu Chennong said, his demeanor radiant.

The feeling inside his body was now incredibly good.

Xu Yixue watched this miraculous scene beside him, utterly astonished.

Zhang Lijuan was only concerned about Lu Chennong’s illness and hadn’t noticed that after taking the elixir, his complexion had improved greatly; his face glowed, and even the white hairs on his head had turned back to black. His previously rough skin had become exceptionally smooth.

Less than three minutes after taking the medicinal pill, Lu Chennong felt as if he had rejuvenated by ten years.

Xu Yixue, observing Lu Chennong’s transformation, was internally conflicted.

Could Xu Fan really be a master elixir craftsperson?

But that didn’t make sense scientifically.

Zhang Lijuan soon noticed the changes in Lu Chennong as well, looked closely at his hair, and asked, “Old Lu, where did your white hair go? It’s all gone.”

“Really?” Lu Chennong was thrilled. Over the years of striving in business, his head had grown quite a bit of white hair, but for the sake of health, he had never dyed it.

He hadn’t expected that after taking this pill, the white hair would not only stop but return to a thick black, which was too domineering, too DUANG.

“Quick, bring a mirror.” Like an anxious child, Lu Chennong, although not fond of dyeing his hair, wished his hair could return to the black of his youth.

Xu Yixue handed her makeup mirror to Lu Chennong and also curiously looked at his hair; it was indeed black and thick. The previously graying hair had vanished.

Lu Chennong looked at himself in the mirror for a long time, then excitedly said to Xu Fan, “Elder Xu, this elixir of yours is incredibly powerful. I, Lu Chennong, am extremely impressed.”

“Ha ha, Elder Lu has noticed too. Although the main purpose of this pill is detoxification, I also included some ingredients that can prolong life and have health benefits. That’s why you’ve seen this effect. However, that’s just secondary. I’ve also added an ingredient that can aid in conception. If you take this pill within a month, the chances of having a child are very high,” Xu Fan said to an ecstatic Lu Chennong, delivering more good news.

“The chances are higher? How much higher?” Lu Chennong almost fainting with happiness, eagerly asked Xu Fan.

“That will depend on how diligent Elder Lu is. The more effort, the luckier you’ll be,” Xu Fan said with a slight mischievous smile.

“Ha ha, Elder Xu, you’ve really done me a huge favor,” Lu Chennong laughed heartily, then stood up, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Xu Fan, “Elder Lin, for the kindness you’ve shown me today, I will always remember it in my heart.”

Xu Yixue watched Lu Chennong in a daze. In her memory, Lu Chennong was an energetic and dominant figure in the business world who had never bowed to anyone; it was always others thanking him. Today was the first time she had ever seen Uncle Lu show such gratitude to someone else.

And that person was Xu Fan, whom she had always found disagreeable.

“Elder Lu, there’s no need for such formalities. Meeting is fate, and it was hardly any trouble for me. You needn’t show such respect,” Xu Fan said lightly to Lu Chennong.

“No, it may have been a simple gesture for you, but for me, it’s as if you’ve given me a second life. If I have a child, I must make you the godfather, and you must not refuse, Elder Xu,” Lu Chennong insisted.

“Okay,” Xu Fan agreed readily.
