The agitated Spiritual Qi began to gather in his room. After Xue An let out a soft cry, the agitated and restless Spiritual Qi immediately turned docile.

"Enter!"

The Spiritual Qi surged into the round ball that was suspended in mid-air in tidal waves, and the originally dark brown liquid also gradually became clear.

The strong aroma of medicine pervaded the room.

Xue An knew that the refining of the Core Reinforcement Pills was now completed.

Although the quality of the medicinal herbs was bad, with Xue An's cultivation, he was still able to refine the pills to a superior grade.

But this was still not enough.

Xue An grabbed hold of a sword and slashed between his brows in a sudden move.

A drip of golden blood appeared on his palm.

Xue An's face, on the other hand, became somewhat fatigued.

"Combine!"

The golden blood contained an energy that was close to terrifying. At the very first contact with the soon-to-be-formed Core Reinforcement Pill, the roles of host and guest were immediately reversed. Very quickly, the amber Core Reinforcement Pill was dyed gold.

An indescribable fragrance rapidly permeated the entire villa.

"What's that smell? It smells so good!" Qin Yu, who was lying on her bed, also detected a whiff of the exotic aroma.

"Could it be that guy up to some trick? But this smell is simply too good for words!" Qin Yu felt as though her entire being was about to float up into the air.

Originally, she frequently fell prey to insomnia, while now, it didn't take long before she fell into a deep sleep.

At this very moment, the Core Reinforcement Pills were finally completed.

Looking at the two golden pills, Xue An couldn't help heaving a long sigh.

Even earlier in his life when he'd had to refine pills that were at the Great Dao grade, Xue An had never felt so nervous before.

In particular, he had even used his own blood essence.

But it had all been worth it.

These two pills had the blessings of fate. It seemed they had broken through the Earth level and progressed to become pills that were at least at Heaven level.

If someone who knew alchemy had been present, that person would probably be cursing and swearing at Xue An for his wanton waste of God's good gifts.

The Core Reinforcement Pills were actually nothing more than the most basic kind of foundation pills—even mortals could ingest them.

Earth-level Core Reinforcement Pills were good enough.

Xue An actually went to the extent of extravagance and refined these pills into Heaven-level Core Reinforcement Pills.

From Xue An's perspective, everything was worth it for his daughters.

He was looking at the two little girls, who were fast asleep.

Xue An smiled and put the two pills right beside the mouths of the two little girls.

The pills seemed to have minds of their own as they melted into liquid and went directly into the girls' mouths.

Xue Xiang briefly murmured, turned over, and continued sleeping.

Xue Nian smacked her lips and then mumbled, "Smells so nice!"

Xue An smiled, patted Xue Nian lightly, and said, "Good girl, go to sleep!"

And so, Xue Nian was sound asleep once again.

It was possible that the two little girls wouldn't require even a tenth of the effectiveness of the Core Reinforcement Pills, but in the future, this pill would simply create an endless pool of benefits for them.

However, after the pills had been refined, there was still some blackish residue left.

Xue An casually gathered all the medicine residue and combined it to create a Mortal-grade Core Reinforcement Pill.

To Xue An, this was nothing special. It wouldn't be a pity even if he abandoned it, but he would keep it, just in case there was a need for it.

The next day, Qin Yu woke up from her sleep and did a good, long stretch, feeling as though she had never slept as well before in her entire life.

"Eh!"

Qin Yu suddenly felt that something was amiss outside the window, then she also heard the incessant discussions of the servants.

Qin Yu walked to the window and saw a shocking scene.

Originally, because of the harsh winter, all the leaves on the plants and flowers in the yard had fallen off. However, all these plants and flowers had fully blossomed overnight.

Even the ginkgo tree had lush, green leaves growing all over it once again.

What was happening?

Qin Yu was quite confused by the situation.

When she was washing up, she looked into the mirror and froze in shock.

Her former self, though pretty enough, had never glowed with radiance like she was that day.

Qin Yu suddenly recalled that whiff of exotic aroma from the night before.

Could it have been that all of this was related to that aroma?

With this doubt in mind, she went downstairs to the living room.

At this time, Xue Xiang and Xue Nian had woken up and were watching "Peggy, the Little Pig" in the main hall.

Qin Yu was suddenly dumbstruck, because she saw the two little girls and wondered how they had suddenly been able to become… so good-looking.

The Xue Xiang and Xue Nian of the day before had originally been adorable enough, but compared to the present, the way they had looked previously was very different.

Without mentioning anything else, just the fragrance that these two little girls were exuding made people feel the urge to move closer to them.

And these two little girls seemed to be even purer than before, like porcelain dolls that didn't contain even a single imperfection.

"Young lady, between the two of you, who's the older sister and who's the younger?" Qin Yu couldn't help asking this question too.

Xue Xiang raised her head to look at Qin Yu, then she scrunched her little nose and said, "Sister, you can't talk to us when we're watching television!"

Qin Yu was a little embarrassed when she received such a reply.

Would this what one considered being taught a lesson by a young child?

At this time, Xue An walked to the living room and said in an aloof manner, "Xiangxiang, next time you see a woman who's much older than you, remember to address her as auntie. Don't call her sister!"

Qin Yu was incredibly angry when she heard herself being described as such.

"Who are you referring to as much older?"

Xue An looked at Qin Yu and said, "If you still want to save your grandfather, then please remember to use honorifics when you're talking to me."

"You…" Qin Yu was so angry that her brows raised high, and her teeth clenched tightly from the hatred she was feeling deep within.

"I'll see how long your arrogance can last. Just wait a little more… Hmph-hmph! I'll make sure you get your just desserts!" she thought.

Just then, Qin Yuan came downstairs, too. With an expression full of excitement, he said to Xue An, "Mr. Xue, the flowers and plants outside are…"

Xue An said nonchalantly, "My work."

"I knew it! Mr. Xue is truly a man of God! He could make all the flowers bloom overnight; such an act is definitely unheard of!"

Qin Yu was a little disgruntled as she stood to the side and muttered under her breath, "Everything was done by him, yet is there any evidence?"

Xue An frowned and thought, "This woman is simply brainless beyond hope."

"Yu'er, don't be rude. Mr. Xue, please don't take what she says to heart! Ever since she was a child, Yu'er has spent most of her time abroad. She tends to act quite recklessly at times..."

Xue An waved his hand dismissively and said, "If I had taken offense to her words, she wouldn't be standing here now. Tell me, what price are you willing to pay for your life?"

Qin Yuan was just about to say something when footsteps outside were heard. An old man sneered and said, "I would love to see which great physician is so capable that he speaks with such arrogance. Putting a cost on a life?"

Along with the sound of this voice, a group of people walked in.

The one walking at the front was an old man with white hair and a gloomy expression, and following behind him, there were a few young men and women. All of them looked proud and haughty.

Qin Yu saw the old man, and with a smile, he walked up to his visitor to welcome him. "Physician Hua, you've arrived!"

Physician Hua, Hua Xingyu, was a very well-known master in the art of healing in Beijiang. Though he wasn't yet on par with Great Physician Gao, his skills were also notably remarkable.

At this moment, a beautiful lady in a pretty outfit who was standing behind the old man also smiled and said, "Grandfather, this is Qin Yu, my good friend!"

Hua Tingting.

This was Qin Yu's best friend, who was also Hua Xingyu's granddaughter.

This was the person that Qin Yu relied on for confidence.

She smugly threw a glance at Xue An. In her heart, she was thinking, "This time around, you're truly in for it!"

"This is Beijiang's most reputable master in the field of medicine. Those little tricks of yours are going to be exposed soon."

Xue An merely sat there quietly with a look of indifference. It was like everything happening there had nothing to do with him.

At this point in time, Qin Yuan's expression didn't look too good either, but Hua Xingyu was also a leading figure in Beijiang.

Therefore, Qin Yuan also stood up and bowed with a palm and fist salute. "So it turned out to be dear Old Hua! Please take a seat!"

Hua Xingyu returned his salute and remarked, "Old Master Qin, it's been a while since we last met. You still look as healthy and strong as ever!"

As he spoke, he found himself a seat. Hua Xingyu looked Xue An up and down with a villainous look. After a while, he said, "And I don't think I know who this is...?"

Xue An replied apathetically, "My name is Xue An."
