Sheng Fan was completely stunned!
He never dreamed that such a scientific process as medicine making could be presented in such a mystical way, which completely overturned his worldview.
"Little, Little Qiqi, do you usually... refine medicine like this?" Sheng Fan was already quite old and had long considered himself to have experienced the world and be calm and composed, but now he was even having trouble speaking.
Qiqi hugged an apple bigger than her face, shaking her head as she ate it. It was an apple that Madam Ji had just washed for her because she was worried that Qiqi was too tired and not getting enough nutrition. "No," she said.
Sheng Fan breathed a sigh of relief.
He said it himself, how could something so scientifically possible...?
"There are a lot of medicines today, so it's more convenient to use a big pot." Qiqi crunched on the apple in her mouth, the sweet flesh making her squint her eyes in satisfaction. "Master is stingy and doesn't want to give me his medicine cauldron. So I usually use cups, bowls, or smaller basins to refine them."
In the end, even the delicious apples couldn't quell Qiqi's resentment.
It's really inconvenient to use these things to make medicine!
Moreover, these things don't have the same concentration of medicinal properties as the medicine cauldron, and she has to waste a purification talisman to lock in all the medicinal properties. It's so annoying!
Sheng Fan: ...
So, she casually used pots and pans to refine high-purity medicines that even professional pharmaceutical equipment couldn't produce.
The old professor's heart shattered into eight pieces in an instant!
Undeterred, he pressed on, "Really, really that simple?"
Qiqi opened her eyes wide, her cheeks puffed out in disbelief, as if questioning him: What nonsense are you spouting!
"What's so easy about it?" The little girl stared longingly at the large pot being heated by the fire talisman. "Such a big pot, it's not easy to cook like this. It'll take at least..." She counted on her fingers, "...at least two more hours!"
Alchemy is boring; it's what she dislikes most—alchemy and drawing talismans.
The thought of having to wait here for two hours made Qiqi's little face scrunch up.
Sheng Fan: ...
"Don't you need to do anything else?" You know, when he usually concocts medicine, he wants to use precision instruments to strictly calculate every step.
Qiqi blinked. "Of course I want to!"
Sheng Fan immediately felt a sense of balance and spoke in a tone that suggested this was the right way, "Tell me what you want to do, and I'll write it down..."
Before she could finish speaking, Qiqi waved her little hand and threw out three more talismans.
Next to the floating, burning talisman hanging under the pot, another flew into the pot, and yet another was whistling out, stirring the flames.
Sheng Fan: ...
That's it?!
No, she just cooked everything in one pot without even bothering to look at it?
What if it boils dry?
Can the medicinal properties be guaranteed if this kind of random stewing is done without any explanation?
Also, what the heck was that talisman that flew in?
How is this any different from those charlatans outside who perform rituals and make people drink talisman water?
Sheng Fan's worldview was shattered, and he couldn't recover for a long time. He muttered, "Little Qiqi, what was that thing you just threw in...?"
"The purification talisman!" Qiqi munched on an apple like a little hamster. "It should have been thrown in when it was almost ready, but the Nourishing Essence Pill is very easy to refine, so it's okay to throw it in now."
If she hadn't thought that since he had paid her, she wouldn't want to make him wait two hours to watch the whole thing, she wouldn't have shown it to him so soon.
"Purification talisman?" Sheng Fan was stunned. What was this thing?
Seeing his blank expression, Qiqi explained, "It's a talisman that can purify the effects of medicine, so that the efficacy of the medicine can be guaranteed 100%. Grandpa Sheng, don't you have one?" After saying that, her eyes sparkled as she asked, "Then Grandpa Sheng, do you want to buy one? It's very useful!"
The young girl was trying her best to sell it.
Grandpa Sheng is very generous; if he's willing to buy, she might consider giving him a discount!
Sheng Fan looked utterly disillusioned. Why could he understand each individual word of the talisman that could purify the medicinal properties, but when combined, he couldn't comprehend it at all?
He not only didn't have this kind of thing anymore, he had never even heard of it before!
If this news gets out, major biopharmaceutical companies will probably be devastated!
The instrument, which has been meticulously developed over many years for the purification of medicinal properties, cannot even guarantee half of the medicinal properties, let alone 100%!
Sheng Fan couldn't help but wonder if this little girl really knew how to make medicine.
It was a complete mess, and the process was so rushed that they even used talismans, which are considered mystical.
Seeing that Sheng Fan did not react, Qi Qi was somewhat disappointed.
Seeing how interested he looked, she thought she could sell some more purification talismans.
Although drawing talismans is a bit boring, if she can make money from the talisman paper, she might as well draw more.
What a pity!
Qiqi sullenly finished the apple in her hand, glanced at the big pot, and realized it would be ready in a while. She was bored just waiting, so she simply took out some talisman paper to draw.
I've used quite a few talismans lately, so I need to add some more.
After drawing some standard talismans, Qiqi remembered the woman she met at the mall today, so she drew a few more healing talismans.
Sheng Fan, who was standing next to him, was so angry that his back teeth ached from clenching his teeth. What was this little guy doing? He said he was going to refine medicine, but he left the medicine aside and just lay there drawing some weird symbols.
The Ji family members also ignored her, each minding their own business and occasionally feeding her.
It's not right for a little girl to keep eating like this, even if it's just easily digestible fruit and snacks!
“That… Little Qiqi, your master…”
Sheng Fan had barely finished asking a question when he was met with three sharp gazes, like ice spikes, that made his heart skip a beat.
No, he just felt that the medicines Qiqi had taken out earlier might have been prepared by her master and given to her.
After all, the little girl's process of making medicine seemed far too childish.
That's why he wanted to ask about her master. Was there anything wrong with that?
The way the Ji family members looked at him made it seem like he had said something "outrageous".
Ji Chengfeng glared at him warningly, telling him to stop talking.
Qi Bao had finally managed to forget about her master these past two days, but what's wrong with Old Man Sheng? Why does he have to bring up such a sensitive topic?
Mrs. Ji got up and walked to Qiqi's side, gently diverting her attention, "Qiqi, there's still a strawberry cake in the kitchen, would you like some?"
"Yes!" Qiqi's eyes lit up instantly when she heard there were strawberry mini cakes.
"How about Qibao goes to the kitchen with Mommy to get it?"
"Okay!"
Qiqi immediately put down the talisman brush, obediently took Madam Ji's hand, and got up to go to the kitchen.
As soon as she left, Sheng Fan couldn't hold back any longer and asked Ji Chengfeng, "What's wrong? Can't we mention Qiqi's master?"
