"Mother, why do you have to call this uncle 'father'? I..."

The little girl asked with a confused expression.

"Ling'er, no nonsense."

"Cough cough, well, it's nothing. From now on, you can call him whatever you want, don't worry about it." Ye Han quickly waved his hand.

Suddenly, he became someone else's father.

He was also a little uncomfortable with it.

"Well, thank you, Immortal Master."

Li Meiniang nodded, not bothered by it.

"Still calling me Immortal Master? How about this, since I and He Houcheng are brothers, you can call me Brother Ye from now on."

"Immortal... Brother Ye, I wonder what your plans are next. Are we leaving here?"

"Um..."

Ye Han pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "The disciples of the Blood Spirit Sect are currently searching for opportunities in the Savage Beast Mountain Range. Their strength is not something I can provoke right now, so we should stay here for the time being."

Since he now had the Goldfinger, he definitely had to develop it well.

Although the spiritual energy in Qingyang Town was not as abundant as in the Lietian Mountain Range, it was safe here.

And he had just become a Rank One Alchemist.

Naturally, he had to be a bit sneaky.

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Li Meiniang's face showed a hint of joy.

The reason she asked earlier was because she was worried that Ye Han would leave and everything from yesterday would be in vain.

"Alright, I have something to do later, so you two stay at home and don't wander around."

After speaking, Ye Han took out a few small flags from his storage bag.

He arranged them around the room.

This was a small formation he had obtained over the years.

It didn't have any other uses, but it could block a Qi Refining cultivator at the first level.

After everything was done, he left directly.

He walked around Qingyang Town and arrived at the only place that sold Spirit Medicine.

The Spirit Medicine here was very low-level, all of them were First Grade.

This was just right for him now.

He spent a Low Grade Spirit Stone and bought a large bag of them.

Then he returned.

"Alchemy!"

Inside the room, Ye Han's face was a bit nervous.

This was his first time refining pills.

"Phew!"

Taking a deep breath, Ye Han took out all the Spirit Medicine he had bought.

Then he clapped his hands.

A sheepskin scroll appeared in his hand.

The Qi Condensation Pill formula!

This was something he had obtained before.

The Qi Condensation Pill was only a First Grade pill, so the formula was not considered precious.

Holding his breath, Ye Han began his first pill refining according to the formula's instructions.

Tempering, purifying, merging...

"Boom!"

When Ye Han reached the merging stage, a muffled sound suddenly came, and a wisp of black smoke floated out of the pill furnace.

"Failed?"

Ye Han was speechless.

But he wasn't discouraged.

It wasn't realistic to expect to succeed on the first try when refining pills for the first time.

Fortunately, he had bought a lot of Spirit Medicine this time.

Continue!

The second attempt was better than the first, but still a failure.

Then, the third attempt.

Still a failure.

In this way, the morning quickly passed.

Finally, on the fifth attempt, he successfully refined the first batch of pills.

"Only three?"

Looking at the three pale blue pills in his hand, Ye Han murmured, but he didn't mind.

After all, he succeeded.

Then he picked up one of the pills and put it in his mouth.

"Buzz!"

The pill dissolved as soon as it entered his mouth, and a powerful energy erupted within his body.

Ye Han quickly activated his cultivation technique.

He began absorbing this energy.

"Boom!"

After an unknown amount of time, a faint sound echoed within his body.

At this moment, Ye Han's face lit up with joy.

"I've broken through!"

Yes, he finally broke through the cultivation level that had troubled him for years and reached the third level of Qi Refining.

Although the third level of Qi Refining was still considered the lowest level in the cultivation world, it gave him hope.

"Not bad!"

Ye Han nodded in satisfaction and started again.

Unknowingly, a day had passed.

Ye Han had used up all the spirit medicine, which allowed him to obtain ten Qi Condensation pills.

"According to the current market price, one Qi Condensation pill should be worth ten Low Grade Spirit Stones. Ten pills would be worth a hundred."

Ye Han couldn't help but marvel at the money-making ability of alchemists.

He had only spent one Low Grade Spirit Stone on these spirit medicines.

But after refining them into pills, they were worth a hundred, a hundred times the original value.

Of course, he was aware that it was all thanks to his Goldfinger that he was able to achieve this.

If it were someone else, it would take at least several years from starting to learn alchemy to becoming a Rank One Alchemist, not to mention the countless spirit medicines consumed during that time.

"Brother Ye, it's time to eat."

At this moment, Li Meiniang's voice came from outside the door.

Only then did Ye Han realize that he hadn't eaten all day.

"Oh, coming."

After a quick wash, Ye Han walked out.

Before long, he arrived in the living room.

A table full of delicious food appeared before his eyes.

"Brother Ye, we don't have much money left at home, so we can only eat this. But tomorrow, I'll find a job and when I earn some money, I'll..."

Li Meiniang looked at Ye Han with a bit of anxiety.

"It's alright, this is already good enough."

Ye Han waved his hand and sat down.

"Why aren't you sitting?" Ye Han looked at the two standing beside him with confusion.

"We, we're not hungry. You, you go ahead and eat!" Li Meiniang hurriedly said.

"Uh..."

Ye Han frowned slightly. "When Hou Cheng was here, were you all like this too?"

"Yes."

"Is that so?"

Ye Han nodded. In this world, women had a relatively low status.

It was normal for men to eat while women stood by and served.

"Alright, you both sit down and eat. There's no need to be so restrained in the future," Ye Han said.

As a transmigrator, he didn't care about these things.

"No, there's no need. We..."

"Sit down!"

Ye Han said again, causing Li Meiniang to look a bit anxious as she quickly pulled Hou Ling to sit down.

"That's more like it. Eating together has a taste to it. Also, you don't need to work outside anymore. I have some money here. Take it first, and if it's not enough, ask me for more." Ye Han took out a few hundred taels of gold from his storage bag.

(Currency conversion: 100 gold = 1 Low Grade Spirit Stone, 100 Low Grade Spirit Stone = 1 Middle Grade Spirit Stone, 100 Middle Grade Spirit Stone = 1 High Grade Spirit Stone.)

"This, this is too much. I, I can't accept it," Li Meiniang quickly refused.

She was just an ordinary person.

She had never seen so much gold before, and she felt a bit scared.

"It's alright."

Ye Han grabbed her hand and placed the gold in it.

"Since I promised Fellow Daoist Hou to take good care of you, I naturally have to fulfill my promise."

"Thank you!"

Li Meiniang looked at him gratefully.

(Favorability +20)

At this moment, the transparent screen appeared again, causing Ye Han to pause for a moment.

"So this favorability is Li Meiniang's liking towards me?"

But what use did this favorability have?

"Forget it!"

Ye Han shook his head and started eating.

It had to be said that Li Meiniang's cooking skills were excellent. Ye Han had to stop after devouring several bowls.

In his heart, he once again thanked Hou Cheng.

If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have...

"Fellow Daoist Hou, you truly are a good person!"
