Chapter 15: Chapter 15: Hundred Ginseng Elixir_1

It was just two bowls of meat porridge, but it tasted like a feast of rare delicacies.

How long had they been starving?

If he had known earlier, no matter how guilty he felt, he should have taken them back from the Zhou Family.

“I’m sorry, it’s all Uncle’s fault.”

Murderous intent swirled in Ye Fan’s heart.

The Zhou Family should pay the price.

During the meal, Ye Fan scrutinized the two children.

Both their faces and bodies were covered with scars.

There were new wounds as well as old ones.

They were so young, just ten years old.

The Zhou Family abused such small children; it deserved to be punished.

At this moment, the door of the inner room opened, and Ye Xiaoxiao and Su Yan came out.

Ye Fan finally understood what had happened.

After Ye Xiaoxiao was married into the Zhou Family, she couldn’t conceive for a long time.

It took a full five years before she gave birth to Zhou Long and Zhou Feng.

However, as time went on, Zhou Long and Zhou Feng grew up.

Their good looks caused suspicion within the Zhou Family.

Zhou Zhao, the family head of the Zhou Family who had married Ye Xiaoxiao, was ugly, and Ye Xiaoxiao and Ye Fan weren’t looking great either at that time because they didn’t have time to clean up.

However, now that they had given birth to two handsome children, Zhou Zhao immediately suspected that Ye Xiaoxiao had cheated on him.

In this era, there was no such thing as paternity testing.

Once suspicion arose, it was equivalent to being guilty.

From then on, Zhou Zhao constantly yelled at and beat Ye Xiaoxiao and the two children.

They could hardly have a decent meal all year round.

Ye Xiaoxiao wanted to escape, but in this chaotic era, where could a woman take two children by herself?

So, Ye Xiaoxiao endured it for many years.

Until recently, when Ye Xiaoxiao overheard Zhou Zhao planning to sacrifice the two children to the so-called Mountain God, she couldn’t bear it any longer.

After much consideration, Ye Xiaoxiao was left with only one choice: Ye Fan.

She wanted the children to survive, even though she still harbored resentment towards Ye Fan, she had no choice but to come to Dongxiang Village.

She hoped that Ye Fan, being the uncle of the children, would provide them with food to eat, and help them survive.

Ah!

Ye Fan felt suffocated.

Just because of a suspicion, his own nephews were in crisis.

Such a person did not deserve to be a father.

“Ye Xiaoxiao, get out here now!”

A ruckus suddenly erupted from outside.

Hearing the noise, Ye Xiaoxiao instantly panicked.

“Brother, take them and go. Don’t let the Zhou Family find them.”

Ye Xiaoxiao picked up the two children who were still eating and handed them to Ye Fan.

“Xiao Xiao, don’t worry…”

As the footsteps outside got closer and closer, Ye Xiaoxiao became more agitated.

“Brother, I beg you, please take them away.”

“Xiao Xiao, you don’t have to worry. Your brother is a martial artist at the peak of body forging. You really don’t have to be afraid of Zhou Family anymore,” Su Yan said hastily, holding Ye Xiaoxiao.

Upon hearing Su Yan’s words, Ye Xiaoxiao froze.

“My brother is a martial artist, a martial artist at the peak of body forging?”

Only Su Yan’s words echoed in Ye Xiaoxiao’s mind.

She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn’t pay attention to the two men from the Zhou Family who entered the room.

“Ye Xiaoxiao, you’ve grown quite bold. The old lady said that the two children are to be offered as sacrifices to the Mountain God, yet you dared to run away with them. This time when you return, no one will be able to save you.”

The two men from the Zhou Family came in sneering and pointed at Ye Xiaoxiao, speaking coldly.

“You’re too noisy, Little Tian, beat them up.”

Seeing the fear rising in the children in his arms, Ye Fan’s voice grew cold.

“Who do you think you are, you…”

The two members of the Zhou Family couldn’t contain their anger upon hearing Ye Fan’s words, attempting to respond.

The next moment, a slap landed on their faces, sending them directly out of the room.

“Wha, what the hell…”

Blood mixed with teeth spurted from their mouths. They covered their faces, their eyes filled with terror and resentment as they gazed at Ye Fan.

“Go back and tell your Family Head that my Ye Family will be paying a visit soon.”

Ye Fan’s gaze turned cold as he closed the door.

“Our Zhou Family won’t let you get away with this.”

“Not leaving yet? Then let’s continue.”

Ye Jintian clenched his fists and approached the two men. Screams echoed from outside the house.

At this point, Ye Xiaoxiao finally snapped back to reality:”Brother, are you really a Martial Artist at the Peak of Body Forging?”

“Yes,” Ye Fan nodded solemnly. “I won’t let this matter slide. I’ll make them pay for what you’ve been through.”

Wow!

Hearing these words, Ye Xiaoxiao burst into tears, like a drowning person clinging to a lifebuoy.

She had felt alone and helpless, but now she realized she had someone to rely on.

Her cry reverberated through the room and tugged at Ye Fan’s heartstrings.

But Ye Fan didn’t soothe her, nor did he stop her.

Cry it all out, let it all out.

Ye Xiaoxiao was under so much pressure, she needed to let it all out.

In the end, Ye Xiaoxiao cried herself unconscious, and Ye Fan caught her.

After examining Ye Xiaoxiao’s pulse, Ye Fan discovered she was severely depleted.

But it was nothing serious, and with proper nourishment, she could recover.

Ye Fan felt relieved—it was still not too late.

Once Ye Xiaoxiao recuperates, it will be the end of the Zhou Family.

Rushing all night without a stopover at Dongxiang Village, Ye Fan returned to Changhe Town with a couple of kids.

Then, Ye Fan personally mixed some healing potions and also prepared a lot of nourishing medicine.

However, it would be hard to replenish Ye Xiaoxiao’s depleted state with these potions in a short period of time.

If only he could make some Elixirs…

Getting a Pill Furnace was not a problem, Ye Fan had one gifted by Li Qian.

But without inner power, he could not perfectly control the fire temperature and thus couldn’t make Elixirs.

At this point, Ye Fan suddenly thought of the fire control theory in Alchemy Dao.

Actually, controlling fire doesn’t necessarily require inner power.

With some special techniques, he could roughly control the flame.

That being the case, perhaps he could truly make Elixirs even in the Body Forging Realm.

Ye Fan was not a procrastinator – he got to work immediately and brought out the Pill Furnace from the storeroom.

The Pill Furnace had nine holes, and by controlling their size, along with the inner power, he could control the fire temperature.

But Ye Fan created a different path, making a device similar to a small bloomery.

It could blow air in and also suck it out.

Let’s give it a shot!

Ye Fan took out the materials needed for the Hundred Ginseng elixir, treating them as required.

And then, he put the materials into the Pill Furnace.

Refining, fusing, Bang!

After a puff of black smoke, the materials turned into black residue, it was a failure.

Ye Fan wasn’t surprised, but rather joyful.

With the skills of a first-order Alchemist, Ye Fan could well control the property of the materials.

Even if he couldn’t perfectly control the fire temperature, he could still merge the medicinal properties.

It’s just that his concocting skills were not as good as a real Alchemist and that enhanced the difficulty.

Keep going!

The materials for a Hundred Ginseng Elixir cost 20 silvers.

Ye Fan couldn’t be wasteful. Each time he attempted to concoct the elixir, he would be fully involved.

Finally, after three failed batches, an odd fragrance wafted out from the Pill Furnace.
