Chapter 118: Refining Pills
As An Ran finished her words, Mrs. An wiped the corners of her eyes gently with some sadness. Poor child, her father is missing and her mother is poisoned. In such a difficult situation, she can only rely on herself to support herself.
Mrs. An has always been obsessed with appearance, and her worldview is often influenced by her facial features. However, even so, she had her own plans in mind. After all, this little girl must have some extraordinary qualities to receive such great help from the Shushan Xiao family!
"snort!"
Patriarch An snorted coldly and muttered to himself. He would never easily believe what this little girl said based on her one-sided statement alone.
"An Guodong!"
Mrs. An murmured An Feiwan's former name softly and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Her eyes fell on her tall, handsome son. It was hard for her to imagine that Wan'er would have such a plain name in the secular world.
She couldn't help but sigh and said, "Oh, what a pity! Ran'er, your grandparents have passed away. Otherwise, we must express our deep gratitude to them in person and thank them for their kindness in raising Wan'er for so many years!"
An Ran naturally understood that her words were not based on facts and no one could believe her without any evidence. She looked straight at the head of the An family and Mrs. An and said.
"Master An, Madam An! My one-sided statement alone cannot prove that he is my father. I came here to make a request. I want to see if I can cure my father's amnesia!"
"oh."
Mrs. An was overjoyed. Although Wan'er's amnesia was not a serious matter, she did suffer from headaches from time to time, which really worried her.
She opened her eyes wide in surprise, looked at An Ran in disbelief, and her voice was full of surprise: "Ran'er, you can actually cure diseases?"
An Ran smiled slightly and replied softly: "I just know a little bit and I'm doing my best."
However, before she finished her words, she waved her slender hand gently, and a bright light suddenly flashed. In the blink of an eye, a small and exquisite tripod appeared in front of her, but then quickly grew larger.
An Ran flicked her fingers, and a cluster of orange-red flames leaped into the cauldron as lightly as an elf. In an instant, flames burned fiercely, illuminating the entire hall.
She gracefully and calmly took out various precious medicinal herbs and put them into the cauldron one by one. Every time it is released, it is as fast as lightning, making people dazzled.
Then, her fingers fluttered like butterflies, quickly forming complex and mysterious hand seals. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall was tense and solemn, as if time had stopped.
About an incense stick of time passed, and suddenly, a fresh fragrance filled the air, like a stream of clear spring flowing, making people feel relaxed and happy.
An Ran waved her sleeves again, and several round and smooth pills flew out from the cauldron. She skillfully put the pills into an exquisite jade bottle.
Done!
She actually succeeded!
She let out a long breath, the joy in her heart was beyond words.
This was her first time trying to make an elixir. She originally just wanted to give it a try, but she didn’t expect to succeed in her first try!
She knew that she could no longer hide her strength. If they don't show their true strength, the head of the An family will never acknowledge their identities.
Mom had already had a hard life, and she couldn't bear to see her mother suffer any more. She didn't want the family to be forced to separate and unable to reunite.
At this moment, the old master of the An family was so shocked to see that An Ran had actually refined the elixir that his pupils suddenly contracted.
Alchemy?
There are actually people who can make pills!
Wasn't the art of alchemy lost long ago?
Oh my God, this little girl who can make elixirs actually claims to be her granddaughter!
The head of the An family thought back to his previous actions and felt so remorseful that he almost wanted to slap himself hard. Even if she is not my biological granddaughter, I have to find a way to make her my granddaughter.
This is not a granddaughter at all; she is clearly a priceless treasure!
Thinking of this, the head of the An family's eyes lit up and his face was full of smiles, just like a blooming chrysanthemum.
He hurried forward and said affectionately, "My dear granddaughter, my dear Ran'er, are you tired? Come and have a rest!"
When Mrs. An saw the fawning look on the face of the head of the An family, she felt contempt in her heart and couldn't help rolling her eyes and said unhappily.
"Who is your darling granddaughter? Haven't you always refused to admit that Ran'er is Wan'er's child?"
After hearing this, the head of the An family turned his eyes away guiltily, but still retorted stubbornly.
"Who... who said that? I never said that!"
An Ran smiled slightly and did not respond to the words of the head of the An family. She gently picked up the jade bottle, handed it to An Feiwan, and instructed softly.
“Take one pill a day and you’ll know the results in three days.”
An Feiwan carefully took the jade bottle, held it tightly in her hand, then stared at An Ran, nodded vigorously, and said solemnly.
"Thank you! Although I haven't recovered my memory yet, I can feel that you must be a very important person in my life."
When An Ran heard this, her eyes instantly became moist. Before coming to Yunling, her heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness. At this moment, she felt extremely relieved, because as long as her father could recover his memory, she would no longer fight alone.
An Ran sat there, shook her head gently, and then spoke.
"Dad, you don't have to say thank you to me."
Her voice was calm and gentle, but it contained a firmness and sincerity.
At this moment, Xiao Ze had been sitting quietly on the side, witnessing An Ran successfully refining the elixir. There were waves of turmoil in his heart. An Ran might not know what an alchemist meant to a secluded family.
Given the rarity and scarcity of elixirs in secluded families, alchemists have extraordinary status and influence.
They possess unique skills that allow them to transform precious herbs into elixirs with miraculous effects. These pills can not only cure diseases and enhance strength, but they may even change a person's destiny.
However, among today's hidden families, alchemists have long been a legend. If the news of An Ran's identity as an alchemist were to spread, it would cause a huge storm in the secluded family.
"Master, Madam Master. Since the matter is settled, let's say goodbye for now and come back to visit again in some time!"
Xiao Ze stood up, bowed to the two people in front of him, and spoke, indicating that he wanted to leave first.
At this time, Mrs. An on the side quickly waved her hands and tried to persuade him to stay.
"Oh my, it's only three days, why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you just stay here for the time being?"
His words were full of sincerity and enthusiasm. She really likes this little girl. Besides, she is extremely particular about appearance. An Ran is the apple of her eye!
