"Father, elder brother... are you both..."
Madam Yun showed a trace of worry on her face, thinking her father and elder brother might have lost their minds.
"We are fine, just a little excited and seem to have lost our composure..."
After speaking, the two of them once again focused their eyes on Han.
"Han, did you really comprehend these two medicine-refining techniques from those two prior Pill Formulas?"
Uncle Yun still couldn't quite believe it and couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle... otherwise, where do you think this Medicine-Refining Technique could have come from...
Could it be that I invented it myself?"
Han smiled a bit helplessly. As an outsider, he couldn't assess the value of this Medicine-Refining Technique.
"Father, elder brother, are these two Medicine-Refining Techniques very special?"
Madam Yun couldn't help but interrupt.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Yun pondered for quite a while before speaking.
"We haven't verified it yet, but from what's described in the Technique, it seems to be the exclusive technique of the Xue Family from Yan Country.
This set of Medicine-Refining Techniques made the Xue Family the top Medicine-Refining Family in Yan Country.
Normally, if common pills are refined using this set of Techniques, they will be more than twice as effective as using ordinary techniques."
Saying this, the Yun father and son immediately started verifying it in the room.
Being a patriarch of the Yun family, a Medicine-Refining Family, there were naturally medicine-refining tools in the courtyard.
They placed the herbs in, which were the simplest Recovery Pill.
With the herbs ready, the fire started, and the refining began.
In typical medicine-refining methods, controlling the fire to extract the liquid from the medicine and then condensing it into a pill is common.
In usual medicine-refining methods, techniques mainly focus on controlling the fire.
However, this new technique added a few more steps.
An Alchemist, when refining a pill, doesn't merely control the fire.
They need to pound the herbs, and aside from refining the flames, they also use pounding.
This not only increases the utilization of the herbs but also helps eliminate impurities, significantly enhancing the pill's quality.
Everyone understood the principle, and the principle of the Xue Family's Medicine-Refining Technique wasn't a secret.
But the details, the difficulties in the technique, only the core members of the Xue Family knew.
Simply knowing the principle of the technique is useless.
Improper use not only fails to enhance the pill's quality but also causes various issues with the pill.
Such as cracks on the pill's surface, leaking efficacy, and so forth.
The Recovery Pill, as the most basic of pills, was often refined in bulk at the Yun Family.
The Patriarch of the Yun Family was naturally very familiar with it.
According to what was written on the paper, they integrated the pounding technique into the refining process.
In no time, the Recovery Pill was completed.
The pill emitted a medicinal aroma. Even though the Patriarch of the Yun Family was quite rusty, the quality of this Recovery Pill far surpassed those previously refined.
The Medicine-Refining Techniques recorded on those two pages were all authentic.
"When it comes to comprehension in the Alchemy Dao, no genius in Great Wei can compare to Han..."
The Patriarch of the Yun Family looked at Han, speaking these words with utmost sincerity.
First, he comprehended the Pill Formula that several generations of the Yun Family couldn't understand within a night.
Now he had also comprehended the pinnacle Medicine-Refining Techniques from two pages of text.
It must be known that previously, the Patriarch and Uncle of the Yun Family had thought those two pages were Pill Formulas...
They had always wondered exactly what kind of pill needed to be refined in such a manner.
Only now they knew, it was not a Pill Formula at all...
Madam Yun, standing beside them, although not skilled in Medicine-Refining, was born into the Yun Family.
She had some understanding of the Alchemy Dao.
Her father's recent technique produced a Recovery Pill far superior to those currently refined by the Yun Family.
"Grandfather, you're praising me too much..."
The Patriarch of Yun Family's praise made Han feel a bit embarrassed.
But hearing Han's words, the Patriarch of the Yun Family's expression grew even more serious.
"These words are not nonsense. Han, with the Pill Formula you gave the Yun Family, accompanied by this Medicine-Refining Technique,
given time, the Yun Family could even become the top Medicine-Refining Family in Great Wei."
Saying this, the Patriarch of the Yun Family looked at Han, filled with emotion.
"This era should have belonged to the Shen Family, with its two distinguished talents, it was even likely to become the top family.
But unfortunately, they lacked the foresight."
The Patriarch of the Yun Family looked at Han, his gaze firm.
"Rest assured, Han, in terms of emotion and reason, our Yun Family will stand firmly by your side.
As long as this old man is alive, the Shen Family cannot harm you.
The Old Dowager of the Shen Family should arrive in Anyang City tomorrow. She and I are of the same generation; if she wants to use seniority to pressure you, you need not face her.
Let this old man argue with her for a couple of rounds!"
Upon hearing the Patriarch of the Yun Family's words, Han expressed his gratitude.
However, he had already devised a means to handle it in his heart, without having to confront her so forcefully.
...
The experts dispatched by the Old Dowager of the Shen Family had already arrived in Anyang City ahead of time.
The task they needed to accomplish was simple, to spread some news, spark some public opinion.
By evening, many knew about the Old Dowager's impending arrival in Anyang City.
The reason for the visit was because Han, the unfilial descendant, refused to return home.
The elders of the family missed him, but this junior kept indulging in leisure, refusing to return to Yun'an City.
Since Han had reached the eightieth level in Stepping into the Thousand Autumns, his reputation had improved somewhat.
However, as these rumors spread, the mood seemed to shift a bit.
A night passed.
At 7:00 AM.
The Old Dowager of the Shen Family's carriage slowly made its way to the Yun Mansion.
Knowing it was the Old Dowager's carriage, many residents of Anyang City followed along, heading towards the Yun Mansion.
There was much anticipation and excitement in witnessing such a spectacle of reprimanding an unfilial descendant.
Many locals even brought along their younger generations, hoping to use this as an opportunity to instill some familial duty.
Seeing such a crowd, the Old Dowager of the Shen Family donned a smile, feeling satisfied.
From the west of the city to the Yun Mansion, there was still a bit of distance; along the way, the onlookers grew more numerous.
A great number hadn't yet grasped the situation but had already started berating Han.
These people always believed the elders were invariably correct and only the juniors were unfilial.
The carriage leisurely proceeded for a quarter of an hour, finally arriving at the entrance of the Yun Mansion.
Sitting inside the carriage, the Old Dowager glanced at a bronze mirror, attempting to display a worried expression.
Although she had never shown any affection towards Han, feigning a look of kindness was not an issue.
She lifted the curtain of the carriage, and with the help of her maid Cai Xue, disembarked.
The surroundings were bustling with people, creating an excellent environment for stirring public opinion.
With her head held high, as she looked forward, the Old Dowager realized a crowd was waiting for her.
Madam Yun, Han, Uncle Yun, apart from Patriarch Yun as the elder, all the well-mannered Yun Family members were at the gate to greet her.
The most striking figure among them was undoubtedly Han.
At this moment, Han's face was ghostly pale, his lips chapped, devoid of color.
This appearance undoubtedly indicated that he hadn't yet recovered from his serious injuries.
