When they parted, Chi Fei promised to send him herbs after she returned to Miaojiang Valley.
Upon receiving the package, Zhang Fan held the herbs to his nose and sniffed them. Indeed, there were herbs he had never seen before.
He rushed home, opened the package, and found packets of herbs wrapped in butter paper, along with a letter and a small porcelain bottle.
Zhang Fan opened the letter, and a rich fragrance wafted out, exactly the same scent as Chi Chifei. The letter read: "End of month."
Today is the 20th, and there are still ten days until the end of the month. Just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chi Fei will be arriving.
After reading the letter, Zhang Fan burned it with a lighter.
He had ten days left and needed to finish everything as soon as possible.
Wang Yi has been taken by Ji Zhi to Zhangjiapo to treat the villagers. After this experience, his medical skills are now sufficient to handle most patients.
And then there's Xiao Hei. Although it has made great progress, it's still not enough. If those people really come knocking on our door, we might not be able to handle it. We need to find an opportunity to let it train more.
However, his immediate priority was to refine more pills. He planned to prepare more common pills so that Wang Yi could use them to save people in case of danger.
The medicines Chi Fei sent were all ones Zhang Fan had never seen before. He put a sip of each medicine in his mouth, and his brain automatically analyzed the corresponding properties and effects of each medicine.
Two of the herbs were highly poisonous, but Zhang Fan's constitution was now immune to all poisons, so these herbs did not harm him at all.
Zhang Fan took out the cauldron and began refining the Fertility Pill. If successful, Zhao Lin's infertility would be solved.
He placed the medicines into the cauldron according to their properties, then activated his spiritual power to make the fire burn brighter. In less than an hour, a unique fragrance wafted out.
Full of anticipation, Zhang Fan opened the lid, revealing three crimson-gold pills inside.
He placed the pill in his palm, brought it to his nose and sniffed it lightly, his brow furrowing involuntarily.
This smells a bit strange.
He took one and put it in his mouth. The first taste was fragrant and slightly sweet, but after a gentle sip, it was even more bitter than Coptis chinensis. Zhang Fan spat it out, his face contorted with bitterness. He stared at the medicine in his palm, speechless.
This... instead of making a fertility pill, they actually made a peerless poison.
However, since he had already refined it, he couldn't waste it. Zhang Fan put the poison into a porcelain bottle and put it in his pocket.
He has too many medicines on him to carry easily, so he carries a shoulder bag on his waist, which is very convenient for storing the various medicines he has concocted.
Although Chi Fei didn't send many medicines, it was enough for him to refine them five times.
He refused to believe that with his intelligence, he couldn't refine it in five attempts.
After the fourth attempt, Zhang Fan began to question the meaning of life.
This medicine must be poisonous, because its effects are different every time it's made.
There are poisons, aphrodisiacs, slimming drugs, and even drugs to induce a state of suspended animation.
The fertility pills he wanted were not available.
No, this medicine is poisonous.
Zhang Fan sighed and went to get the last bit of poison from the butter paper. If it failed again this time, Zhao Lin would never be able to have children in her life.
After taking the medicine away, Zhang Fan suddenly noticed that there was something written on the inside of the greaseproof paper containing the medicine.
The handwriting is delicate: This is a poisonous herb from Miao territory, with varied medicinal effects. It needs to be combined with the blood of a Miao holy maiden, which is in the porcelain bottle.
Three black lines appeared on Zhang Fan's forehead. Why didn't you say something so important earlier?
There was also a line of smaller print next to it: This matter must be kept confidential.
This matter is probably known to very few people in Miao territory. If anyone tries to refine medicine, Chi Fei will likely be bled out.
No wonder it was written so discreetly; he only discovered it now.
Zhang Fan placed the poisonous herbs in the cauldron and turned to get the porcelain bottle.
Upon opening the bottle cap, it was discovered that something had been added to the blood, which hadn't clotted.
Zhang Fan dripped a drop of blood onto the poisonous plant. There was only one drop of blood, and Zhang Fan didn't know if it would work, but he had to try anyway.
After repeating the steps again, an hour later, the rich aroma once again wafted out from the gaps.
Zhang Fan lifted the lid of the cauldron, and a wisp of green smoke rose up. Without even tasting it, Zhang Fan knew it was done.
There are two pink fertility pills lying in the cauldron. Zhao Lin and Sun Yan will each take a bite, and they'll be pregnant within a month.
Zhang Fan stretched and realized that the sun had already set, the evening breeze was whispering gently, the daytime noise was gradually fading away, the late summer heat had not yet subsided, and the night was still very humid.
He hasn't reached the state of fasting yet; he's so hungry he could swallow a whole cow.
Bai Rou'er and Ran Meng hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they must have had a lot to talk about. Zhang Fan didn't want to disturb them, so he found a casual restaurant nearby that sold everything from breakfast to late-night snacks.
Zhang Fan was so hungry that he ordered ten steamers of buns, and this was the one that came out the fastest.
He finished the ten steamers of buns in less than three minutes, and Zhang Fan ordered another ten.
After finishing the second ten-basket meal, Zhang Fan realized that everyone in the restaurant was staring at him.
This is nothing; he hasn't even eaten half full yet.
The shop owner glanced around, then turned back with a grin: "Young man, you're a food vlogger, right? Where are you hiding the camera?"
Zhang Fan: "I am not a live streamer."
The boss said regretfully, "With such a big appetite, it's a pity she's not a live streamer. Being an internet celebrity can be very lucrative. Do you know Zhangjiapo in our county? There's a female internet celebrity named Li Jingjing who earned hundreds of thousands of yuan yesterday and even made the news."
Zhang Fan hadn't been in contact with Li Jingjing for a long time and had no idea she was making so much money.
It's a good thing; it's about living a different life in your own way.
The steamer baskets were piled up like a small mountain. Zhang Fan looked up from inside and let out a burp: "Boss, the bill."
On his way home, Zhang Fan carried ten large meat buns in his hand. He also needed to refine some fasting pills, in case he went out and couldn't find anything to eat and went hungry.
Zhang Fan didn't sleep all night, spending the entire night refining various elixirs.
There are healing pills, rejuvenating pills, fasting pills, qi-tonifying pills, mind-clearing pills, mind-controlling pills, and detoxifying pills.
Because of his cultivation, Xiao Hei's appetite has been increasing day by day.
After eating ten large meat buns, it was only half full. It then ate all the leftovers in the house before it was finally full.
Time was of the essence; Xiao Hei needed to go in and grow. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head.
"Xiao Hei, there's a way for you to improve faster, but you'll have to endure some hardship. Are you willing to do that?"
"Woof—"
Little Black's tail wobbled like a propeller.
Zhang Fan fed Xiao Hei two Qi-boosting pills.
Not long after eating, Xiao Hei went to the water tank and drank water like crazy, drinking the whole tank dry. It still felt uncomfortable, so it jumped around in the yard to expend its energy.
As dawn broke and Zhang Fan was about to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Gu Qing standing there.
Her eyes were bloodshot, with dark circles under them, and her hair was still damp with dew. She looked exhausted, clearly having not slept a wink all night.
Gu Qing's voice was hoarse: "Zhang Fan, I'd like to ask you for a favor."
