Before An Ran reached the inner room, An Changcheng and He Yun had already come to greet her. An Ran quickly ran over, hugged He Yun, and called out sweetly, "Mother!"

He Yun hugged An Ran with tears in her eyes. She pulled An Ran aside and looked at her carefully. She touched An Ran's little face with heartache and said, "You've become thinner and darker..." Then she hugged An Ran tightly again.

After a long while, He Yun finally wiped away her tears and said to An Ran with a hint of reproach: "Where have you been these past few months, girl? You didn't even bother to send a message home?!"

An Ran looked at He Yun with a bit of embarrassment, smiling the whole time without responding. She was complaining in her heart: "If I tell you that I'm going to the Misty Forest, will you let me go..."

An Changcheng watched silently as the mother and son reunited as if no one was around. He was also touched by the mother and son's indifference even though An Ran's excitement and joy were evident.

When An Changcheng felt that they had almost finished reminiscing about the past, he smiled and said to the woman who had interrupted them and was about to continue whispering: "Okay, there's no point in talking in this yard. Let's go inside and talk."

He Yun then took An Ran into the house, asking as they walked: "Now that you're back, are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to make a lot of your favorite food..."

Just as the An family was reunited and having a great time, the atmosphere in the Zhaixing Pavilion of the Yinkuang Inn also became somewhat warmer.

"An Mansion? The eldest daughter of the An family? Keep an eye on her and protect her!" In the Zhaixing Pavilion, Jun Zichen listened to Meiying's report, finally smiled, and gave instructions lightly.

"Yes!" The Phantom answered coldly, and then his figure disappeared in the house.

Jun Zichen looked at the bowl of black medicine in his hand, and An Ran's little face came to his mind. He picked up the bowl of medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

That night, An Ran came to the alchemy room in the space, recalling the recipe in her mind and thinking about the herbs she had collected in the Misty Forest. Now... she could prepare to try to refine a first-grade Qi and Blood Pill.

Thinking about this, An Ran took out the necessary herbs and placed them on the bamboo table beside the alchemy furnace. Then she sat cross-legged in front of the furnace. Just as she was about to release the fire element, she suddenly remembered something...

An Ran opened her eyes, looked at the alchemy furnace and threatened: "Old man, I am going to refine the elixir. You are not allowed to swallow the fire element without permission, otherwise..."

Before she could finish her next words, Danlu quickly replied, "I know, I know, I won't dare anymore..."

I remember that when An Ran had just finished collecting the materials for refining the first-grade Qi and Blood Pill, she had already started preparing to make the pill. However, because the alchemy furnace kept devouring the fire element without knowing how to control its severity, the alchemy process almost exhausted An Ran's fire element, and ultimately failed...

When An Ran realized the reason for his failure, he was furious and annoyed at the alchemy furnace for not prioritizing things. In a fit of rage, he changed the fireball schedule from once a week to once a month.

Thinking about it now, the alchemy furnace felt a little uneasy. It was worried that An Ran would steal it again, so it simply stopped giving it Fireball to eat...

After hearing Danlu's assurance, Anran prepared to start refining the elixir.

She slowly drew the fire element out of her body, and her powerful mental power was also slowly released in an instant. The mental power controlled the fire element and it stopped steadily at the bottom of the furnace.

An Ran controlled her mental power and slowly divided it into two streams. One stream controlled the furnace fire, and the other surrounded the herbs. She placed the first herb into the furnace in order.

As soon as the herbs were put into the furnace, An Ran controlled her mental strength and slowly put the fire in, increasing it little by little. Suddenly, with a "puff", the herbs turned into ashes.

An Ran didn't give up. She summed up her experience and picked up the herb again. Without being arrogant or impatient, she slowly put her heat into it...

Gradually, the herbs were refined and turned into liquid droplets! Success!

An Ran was secretly delighted. She used a stream of her mental energy to wrap around the medicinal liquid, then picked up the second herb and slowly refined it...

Gradually, the second strain was successfully refined. An Ran fused the two drops of liquid medicine together, and then began the third strain...

The fourth...

The fifth one...

…

The twentieth plant...

An Ran's refining skills became more and more proficient, and the speed gradually increased...

Only after all the herbs were refined into liquid medicine did An Ran become slightly nervous. Now the most critical moment had arrived!

An Ran wrapped the liquid medicine with her mental power, spinning it at high speed. She used fire to heat it bit by bit, slowly drying out the moisture, concentrating and condensing the liquid medicine... until it became a sticky mass. An Ran used her mental power to knead this mass into the shape of a pill. The pill spun faster and faster until it broke free of An Ran's mental power and flew out of the furnace! The pill was ready!

At the moment the elixir was completed, the cauldron began to spin rapidly, and the phoenix on the cauldron body danced gracefully, as if congratulating the success of the elixir!

An Ran took out the bottle and quickly caught the pill. She took out the pill and observed it carefully: Hmm... It doesn't look good. The surface of the pill is not smooth at all, and the color is not pure. It smells of the pill, and the fragrance has not subsided.

Thinking about the elixir that Master was refining in the alchemy room, An Ran frowned again and again. It seemed that she would have to contact him again...

The alchemy furnace over there saw that An Ran's elixir had been successfully refined, and it couldn't wait to swallow up the furnace fire. Seeing An Ran frowning, the alchemy furnace couldn't help but ask her, "What's wrong? Didn't the elixir succeed?"

An Ran frowned, looked at the alchemy furnace, and said to it with a little disappointment: "Yes, but it doesn't look very good... and the fragrance of the elixir is overflowing, which doesn't feel good..."

Listening to An Ran's complaints, the alchemy furnace couldn't help but want to curse! It was a little angry, and the phoenixes on the furnace body flew around and attacked each other. The furnace pointed at An Ran and cursed, "You girl, you still don't know how to get enough?! It takes at least two or three years for most people to learn alchemy and refine their first pill. You're just fishing for three days and drying the net for two days. You've refined it three times and it works, and you still have something to be dissatisfied with?!"

An Ran glared at the alchemy furnace speechlessly, then said with a hint of pride, "That's because I'm naturally talented! I don't need to work that hard to succeed!"

The alchemy furnace was filled with anger. It had never seen such a narcissistic person! It said to An Ran: "Then when you have nothing to do, just focus on refining the elixir. Take an hour a day to refine the elixir. This way, your skills will definitely improve..."

An Ran added angrily, "I'll give you some fire elemental food too, right?!"

The alchemy furnace was silent... Although I had this thought, I didn't show it clearly...

Although An Ran said this, she was also thinking about refining pills in the future... Otherwise, she would have no money to spend when she went out...
