A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

Hold the grass!

What kind of thing did I create myself?

Luo Fan held the small pill, which was black with a hint of pink, warm to the touch, and with an indescribable flutter in its heart, feeling quite puzzled.

No matter how you look at it, this thing exudes a frivolous and lewd vibe!

A normal Lesser Rejuvenation Pill is pure white, with a delicate medicinal fragrance, and is characterized by its ethereal and otherworldly aura.

The one in his hand had an ambiguous color and a sweet, cloying aroma; holding it for too long could make one's mind wander.

If you took this out and claimed it was a minor elixir, nobody would believe you!

"Old man, the things you've refined from your dying possessions... how come they resemble your hobby?"

Smoking, drinking, and frequenting brothels—so even when he was refining an elixir, he ended up with a brothel-like style?

who cares!

Every pill has some toxicity... uh, every pill is effective!

The old man once said that the most direct way to judge the success or failure of an elixir is to test it yourself.

Luo Fan steeled his resolve, closed his eyes, and tilted his head back.

—The hand stopped at the mouth.

"etc…"

"I'm only at the first level of Qi Refining!"

What if you take one bite and overdo it, causing your body to explode and you to die?

"If I die, Danfeng will truly be extinct!"

The old man would crawl out of his grave and curse me as a spendthrift!

Luo Fan looked at the tombstone with a righteous expression.

"Old man, I'm not a coward, I'm doing this for the sake of Danfeng's ancestral offerings!"

"Think about it, if something were to happen to me, who would burn paper money for you? Who would pour you wine? Who... would inherit your grand ambition of frequenting brothels?"

The mountain wind swirled peach petals, pattering against the tombstone.

Silent yet deafening, it seemed to express Li Chishui's contempt.

"Where can we find a guinea pig?"

Luo Fan stroked his chin, pondering who he should trick.

It seems the outer sect is holding a martial arts demonstration today?

At this time of year, there are always a few suckers... junior brothers who are too eager to improve will come to Danfeng to buy pills.

But once the old man left, Danfeng became deserted, even more desolate than a brothel after it closed.

Who would buy medicine from him?

His name, Luo Fan, was even more renowned in Peach Blossom Temple than the sect leader.

—A notorious good-for-nothing, a mudslide in the alchemy world.

"Fine...it seems I'll have to do it myself..."

"Is Senior Brother Luo here?"

A voice, coming from afar, carried the impetuousness and urgency characteristic of young people.

Luo Fan's eyes lit up instantly, brighter than a weasel that hadn't eaten for three days seeing a fat chicken!

A man with eight-pack abs is more attractive than a widow who has been widowed for thirty years!

She's even more dazzling than a beggar in front of a brothel when he sees a beautifully dressed young lady greeting customers!

The chosen ones for drug trials have been delivered right to our doorstep!

Luo Fan stuffed the pink pill into his pocket at the speed of light, switched his expression to that of an honest, simple, and invincible senior brother, and walked forward with his head held high.

The newcomer was a young man dressed in the robes of an outer disciple. He had a sharp look in his eyes and was the bottom-ranked one of the four minor talents of the outer sect!

—Zhang Tie!

Nicknames include Tiezi, Tietie, and Gangti!

"So it's Junior Brother Zhang!"

Luo Fan smiled warmly, like a gentle breeze, "A rare guest indeed! What brings you here, Junior Brother?"

"Senior Brother Luo, excuse me, it's almost my turn for the outer sect martial arts competition today."

Zhang Tie clasped his hands in a fist salute, his expression urgent. "If I could have a Lesser Rejuvenation Pill to restore my spiritual power, my chances of winning would increase considerably!"

His opponent was Zhao Mang, who was the strongest among the four young talents.

If we win, we can wipe away this shame!

The situation on the arena can change in an instant; if one goes all out, their spiritual energy will be greatly depleted.

The elixir became crucial; he wasn't confident of victory, so he reluctantly came to Pill Peak to try his luck.

Using elixirs is not honorable, and the sect does not stop this behavior.

In battles against other players, resources are also a reflection of one's own strength.

"Junior Brother Zhang, you're too late!"

Luo Fan feigned just the right amount of regret, "Senior Sister Bai Jie just left, and she took all the pills with her!"

"Oh, that's a real shame."

Zhang Tie's eyes dimmed, unable to hide his disappointment. He looked completely dejected, his hopes shattered. That was all there was to it.

The pills supplied to the outer sect were already scarce, and most of them ended up in the hands of the inner sect and the major peaks.

Now that Elder Li has passed away, it will be incredibly difficult for these outer disciples to buy even a single pill in the future. They can only endure today's competition.

"Junior brother, wait!"

Luo Fan called him over, leaned closer mysteriously, and whispered, "You're really lucky!"

He rummaged around and pulled out the pink-patterned pill, grinning slyly. "I happen to have a rare, classic Lesser Rejuvenation Pill that my master made years ago!"

"Collector's Edition?"

Zhang Tie was stunned.

"That's right!"

Luo Fan's expression was serious and his eyes were sincere. "This pill was made by my master using an ancient secret method, adding a rare flower that has long been extinct, the Pink Rose!"

As for the efficacy of the medicine…

He held up three fingers, his voice firm and resolute, "A minimum of 30% guaranteed!"

"Because it is extremely difficult to refine and the finished product is very rare, I originally intended to save it for life-saving purposes in critical moments."

Luo Fan gritted his teeth and endured the pain, "But seeing your sincerity and the honor you bring to the sect, Junior Brother..."

With trembling hands, he handed over the pill, saying, "Here's a low-grade spirit stone, consider it my support!"

Zhang Tie looked at the pink, sweet-smelling pills, his heart pounding with apprehension.

Is this really something Elder Li made?

Does Elder Li have such unique tastes?

"What? You don't trust your senior brother?"

Luo Fan feigned displeasure, "Since that's the case, then I'll..."

He was about to take it back when Zhang Tie quickly stopped him, his eyes looking even more sincere than Luo Fan's.

"I believe you!"

He nodded solemnly.

At the price of a spirit stone, it's a steal; you won't lose out or be cheated.

The aura of the ancient secret manual collection made him quickly become obsessed.

Beat a fight, bike change bike!

"Thank you, senior brother!"

He took out the spirit stone, accepted the pill, and was deeply moved.

Senior Brother Luo is such a kind person!

I misunderstood him before!

If I ever become successful in the future, I must not forget the kindness of my senior!

Luo Fan happily touched the spirit stone in his hand, but it didn't feel like a spirit stone.

This is the first stepping stone for him to avoid being kicked out of the house!

Ironically, fearing he might change his mind, Zhang Tiesheng disappeared in a flash.

Luo Fan weighed the spirit stone in his hand and chuckled foolishly at the tombstone.

"Old man, did you see that? It's open source! Our Danfeng's revival has taken a historic step!"

"I'm not trying to ruin your reputation; I'm strategically leveraging your brand value!"

He clicked his tongue. "If you could know this from beyond the grave, you'd definitely praise me for my business acumen, wouldn't you?"

The mountain wind grew stronger, and peach petals pelted my face.

Tombstone: You're so high and mighty, so great, yet you use my reputation to sell aphrodisiacs!

Luo Fan shrank his neck and followed silently, wondering if he could seize the opportunity!

This was his first clinical experiment as an intern alchemist.

We must obtain first-hand clinical data!

Luo Fan could swear on Bai Shijie's conscience that he was definitely not there to watch the show.

This is a crucial scientific research expedition that will determine whether he is fired or continues to live a life of hiding!
