"If I could be both my grandparents' granddaughter and Grandpa Sheng's granddaughter, of course I would be willing!" Qiqi said with sparkling eyes.
"That's great!" Having won over the little girl, Sheng Fan was so excited that his white beard trembled. He clapped his hands and said, "I have to go back and choose an auspicious day to hold a grand family reunion ceremony. We absolutely cannot let our little Qiqi suffer."
Qiqi patted her little chest and said, "Grandpa Sheng, please choose a good day to come find me! Qiqi is the most accurate at it!"
"Alright, alright, I almost forgot that our little Qiqi can predict the future!" Sheng Fan said. "Then please, little Qiqi, calculate the most, most, most auspicious day!"
Qiqi quickly calculated with her fingers and said with a smile, "Seven days from now will be the most auspicious day."
"Alright, then it will be in seven days!" Sheng Fan looked at the Ji family and said solemnly, "I will invite many prominent figures from Jiangcheng to witness this. From then on, Qi Qi will be my granddaughter!"
Sheng Fan left satisfied with the pills and talismans that Qi Qi had refined that day.
Just as he stepped out of the Ji family's old residence and was about to get into his car, a man suddenly appeared beside him, "Old Master Sheng."
Sheng Fan was startled. He turned around, saw the person who had come out, and frowned. "Where did you come from, kid?"
The person who came was none other than Ji Jinnian.
Sheng Fan hadn't seen him in the living room and assumed he'd gone back to school, but he suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
“Elder Sheng,” Ji Jinnian tapped his fingers against the frame of his glasses, “the talisman in your hand, was it given to you by my sister? Could I have one?”
"What are you going to do with this?" Sheng Fan looked at him strangely. "Didn't you always say you weren't interested in alchemy?"
He initially took a liking to this gifted student, accepted him as his apprentice, and intended to pass on the tradition of traditional Chinese medicine to him.
Who knew that this kid was willing to become his apprentice simply because he was interested in a field he had never been involved in before.
After learning it, they said they weren't interested in traditional Chinese medicine and wanted to study something else.
I almost made him furious!
"I wasn't interested before, but now... I am!" Mainly because I'm very interested in my sister's amazing alchemy techniques.
Sheng Fan snorted, "This was given to me by Xiao Qiqi. If you want it, just ask her to give it to you!"
Ji Jinnian smiled. If he could get it from Qiqi, why would he bother coming to him?
That little girl is terrified of him. If he were to ask her for a talisman, she'd probably just throw it at him.
“It’s not easy for my sister to draw talismans. You bought so many from her, what’s wrong with giving me one?” He pushed up his glasses, a slight smile playing on his lips. “Or is it that Old Master Sheng wants me to go back and tell my sister that you’re actually a petty, vindictive, and stingy old man, so she can reconsider having you as her godfather?”
"You..." This brat actually dared to threaten him.
Unfortunately, as Qiqi's biological brother, he really couldn't ignore this threat.
Sheng Fan grumbled as he pulled a purification talisman from his bag and threw it over, saying, "Xiao Qiqi said this talisman needs to be used with a spell."
After saying that, she told him the incantation as well.
"Thank you." Ji Jinnian put away the talisman and turned to leave calmly.
He took two steps, then turned back. "Elder Sheng, I'm asking you to keep the matter of the talisman a secret from my sister. Don't let her know."
"Why?" Sheng Fan asked, puzzled.
"Because the little guy is very afraid of me!"
Ji Jinnian took the talisman and left for the laboratory.
After analyzing the pills Qiqi gave to Ji Jinsu, he tried to make them himself, but the result was far less effective.
He had been wanting to ask Qiqi what the reason was.
But the little girl was afraid of him, which prevented him from finding a suitable opportunity.
I watched her refine medicine today and realized that she was using a purification talisman.
As soon as Ji Jinnian entered the laboratory, he couldn't wait to start refining the medicine. During the final purification, he added the purification talisman according to the method taught by Sheng Fan.
He initially thought it was strange to add talismans to the alchemy process, but after he finished chanting the incantation, the talisman turned into a beam of light and entered his alchemy vessel.
Seeing that amazing scene, Ji Jinnian's pupils contracted slightly, and shock flashed in his eyes behind his glasses.
There really are such mysterious things in this world!
He clenched his fingertips, forcing himself to calm down, his fingers gently pressing against the frame of his glasses, and the corners of his mouth slowly curving upwards.
He's really becoming more and more interested in little girls.
***
The Ji family's old residence.
After lunch, Qiqi carried the remaining medicinal herbs that Grandpa Sheng had brought back to the room that Madam Ji had prepared for her.
Although the medicinal properties of these herbs were not strong enough, she had a way to enhance their effects, so she planned to refine them into Nourishing Essence Pills for her grandparents to use to improve their health.
After closing the door, Qiqi took out the large pot she had prepared and began to refine medicine.
He threw medicinal herbs, purification talismans, and talismans to enhance the medicinal properties into the pot.
This time, however, Qiqi didn't use a regular fire talisman. Instead, she formed a hand seal, and a cluster of pale blue flames burst into flames in her palms.
If there were any members of the Xuanmen sect, they would recognize that what Qiqi held in her little hand was the Samadhi True Fire.
Using the three true fires to refine medicine can more thoroughly bring out its medicinal properties.
Qiqi then reached her little hand under the big pot and used the Samadhi Fire to refine it.
At this moment, she had no idea that her little secret had been exposed to her "terrifying" second brother, and that her second brother was becoming more and more interested in her.
If she knew, she would be so terrified right now that she would want to hide like an ostrich.
The pale blue flames made her face flushed, and soon she was sweating, her complexion turning slightly pale.
The Samadhi Fire is her life-giving source of fire. Using the Samadhi Fire to refine medicine is equivalent to consuming her life-giving source.
In the past, let alone refining medicine, he could easily burn down a mountain with his Samadhi Fire.
But her body is still that of a three-and-a-half-year-old, and with her vital energy being depleted so much, she can't quite handle it.
Qiqi gritted her teeth and persevered, managing to refine a pot of pills, enough for Old Master Ji and Old Madam Ji to eat for a month.
The moment the oven was opened, Qiqi collapsed to the ground, exhausted, her face pale and her forehead covered in sweat.
Just then, Madam Ji, worried that Qiqi had kicked off the blankets, came in to check on her and was shocked to find Qiqi lying on the floor.
"Qi Bao, Qi Bao, what's wrong?"
Mrs. Ji carefully picked up Qiqi and was about to call the family doctor.
"Mom, I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." Qiqi weakly pointed to the pot next to her. "Mom, this is where I made the Nourishing Essence Pills for Grandpa and Grandma. Could you please pack them up and take them to them for me?"
"Of course!" Madam Ji looked at Qiqi's pale face and felt extremely distressed. "Mommy will take you to bed to rest first, and then I'll come and clean up here later, okay?"
