Seeing Zhao Tianjie so shocked, Li Qianfan was utterly confused and asked in return, "What's wrong?"

An alchemist, that is an extrely rare profession! Only large families in first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou have alchemists. I heard that a martial arts family in Yanjing offered an annual salary of one billion to invite an alchemist into their family.
Furthermore, every mber of that family treated him with utmost respect," Zhao Tianjie exclaid with a shocked face as he looked at Li Qianfan.
Uh...
Are alchemists really that incredible in today's society?
Li Qianfan replied very calmly, "Zhao Tianjie, I think you misunderstood. The elixir making I ntioned is just the ordinary pill making by a traditional Chinese dicine doctor, where you first boil the dicine into a decoction and then dry it to form pills."
Hearing Li Qianfan's explanation, the shocked expression on Zhao Tianjie's face vanished, and he gave a wry, helpless smile, "Big brother, could you be serious for a mont? I actually thought you could make elixirs."
"Brother, what if brother Qianfan were an alchemist?"
At this mont, Zhao Susu, who was sitting on the bed, asked curiously.
Zhao Tianjie responded seriously, "If Li Qianfan were truly an alchemist, he would instantly beco a highly sought-after figure, and our Taoyuan County would quickly gain fa throughout all of China. Plus, countless people from large families would gather in Taoyuan County to invite Li Qianfan, and then he would beco a greatly respected person."
"Wow, that's amazing!"
Zhao Susu looked at Li Qianfan with eyes full of admiration.
"What's so amazing about that? I am not an alchemist, just a very ordinary traditional Chinese dicine doctor. If making pills can make a great figure, then I could surely wake up laughing from my dreams," said Li Qianfan,
Li Qianfan didn't even think about it; he imdiately concealed the fact that he was an alchemist.
Indeed, being an alchemist is an extrely rare profession in China, especially for those martial artists who are stuck at a bottleneck in becoming a cultivator. Alchemists are practically like a godfather to them.
Powerful elixirs can help a martial artist leap into becoming a formidable cultivator.
Even ordinary alchemists are hotly contested by martial families, as elixirs can rapidly enhance a martial artist's strength.
The problem is, Li Qianfan's current strength is too weak. Although he is the dominant force in Taoyuan County, there are certainly stronger cultivators in the big cities. With his current second level of True Qi Realm strength, exposing that he is an alchemist would only lead him to be hoarded by those big families, turning him into a pathetic alchemy tool.
His father had already warned him not to seek him out until he reached the Golden Core Realm.
This ans, there are definitely strong cultivators in the outside world,
Thus, he must be careful when making elixirs in the future. Without strong powers, he must always conceal that he is an alchemist, never revealing it.
"Enough, let's not discuss the alchemist, a profession way beyond our reach anymore. Let's go making those pills," said Zhao Tianjie as he tugged Li Qianfan's arm.
Li Qianfan nodded and followed Zhao Tianjie to the courtyard, where they imdiately got busy.
Sorting the dicinal ingredients, lighting the fire to boil water...
Zhao Susu also ran out to join in the bustling activity, now that the chill in her body had been temporarily suppressed, making her no different from an ordinary person. Seeing his sister indistinguishable from a normal person, Zhao Tianjie's heart was filled with excitent.
Watching Li Qianfan ticulously sort the dicinal ingredients, Zhao Tianjie had a strong premonition that Li Qianfan could truly cure his sister's disease.
If Li Qianfan cured his sister's illness, he would be willing to serve Li Qianfan as a loyal subordinate for life.
The preparations were soon finished!
Under the watchful eyes of Zhao Tianjie and Zhao Susu, Li Qianfan began to make elixirs. Because he needed to hide his identity as an alchemist, Li Qianfan was very careful during the process, pretending to just be making pills.
Only when the two were not paying attention, did Li Qianfan use his True Qi to secretly blend the dicinal strength, achieving the Lingyan Pill's effect that could suppress the chill.
"Brother, my stomach seems to hurt again!"
Zhao Susu clutched her stomach and squatted on the ground, as the temporarily suppressed chill started causing trouble again.
Seeing this, a surge of urgency gripped Zhao Tianjie's heart, and he imdiately turned to Li Qianfan, saying, "Li Qianfan, how are the pills coming along?"
"Let her lie down on the bed, it'll be ready soon!"
Using his peripheral vision, Li Qianfan glanced at Zhao Susu, his expression turning much more serious. It seed that the thod that moved Zhao Susu emotionally could only temporarily suppress the Power of the Solar Terms. He wasn't sure how long the Spiritual Fla Elixir would be able to keep it at bay.
Although Zhao Tianjie was very anxious, he still followed Li Qianfan's instructions and carried Zhao Susu into the room.
Even though the cold within Zhao Susu had already erupted, Li Qianfan remained calm as he prepared the elixir. He was worried that hurrying might lead to an error that could affect the efficacy of the elixir.
About ten minutes later, three 'Spiritual Fla Elixirs' were successfully concocted. Li Qianfan quickly brought the elixirs into the room and handed one to Zhao Tianjie, saying, "Just feed her this."
"Okay!!"
Zhao Tianjie nodded emphatically and imdiately fed Zhao Susu a Spiritual Fla Elixir.
Previously screaming in agony, Zhao Susu, after taking the elixir, quickly had her pain vanish. Her pale complexion returned to a healthy glow, making it seem as if the pain had never been there.
"My god, is it really that miraculous?"
Zhao Tianjie looked at Li Qianfan with a delighted and trembling voice, "Li Qianfan, you are amazing! I've consulted many doctors, and you're the most incredible one I've ever t."
Li Qianfan smiled and said, "The pills I prepared can only temporarily suppress the cold in your sister's body. As for how to cure it completely, I still need to think of a solution. Rest assured, until I find a solution, I will continue to provide you with pills to suppress the cold."
Hearing this, Zhao Tianjie's eyes welled up with excitent as he grabbed Li Qianfan's hand, saying, "Brother, Qianfan, if you don't mind, from now on I'll call you brother, and I'll be your little brother."
"You don't need to be my little brother. You just need to keep your promise to —recomnd as a ntor!"
Li Qianfan said lightly.
Zhao Tianjie assured, "Don't worry, once I'm back at the dojo, I will recomnd you as a ntor."
Li Qianfan nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "By the way, I heard you and Zhang Ju are on good terms. Could you talk to him and ask him to recomnd as a ntor too? He holds a significant position among our dojo's ntors and has a strong influence."
"Sure, once I get back, I'll speak with Brother Ju. I'll do my best!"
Zhao Tianjie assured, patting his chest.
"Great, then take these two pills with you. When Susu's cold flares up next ti, just let her take them. Whenever you run out of pills, just co to ," Li Qianfan said earnestly.
"Qianfan, thank you... I can't thank you enough. If you ever need , I'll do everything I can!"
Zhao Tianjie's eyes were filled with determination.
...
At four in the afternoon, Li Qianfan returned to the Jiui Massage Parlor. He had planned to clock in and earn so wages, but Hong Jiui pulled him into her office for a rigorous two-hour battle that left her completely subdued.
Looking at Hong Jiui's bewildered face lying on the couch, Li Qianfan's mind flashed with the image of Tong Caicai.
He said, "Sister, did you contact Tong Caicai? I must reclaim my dignity."
Hong Jiui first rolled her eyes at Li Qianfan, then spoke coyly, "I've already contacted her, but right now she's gone abroad to study with the hospital. Once she's back, you go and teach her a lesson. With your strength today, you can definitely make her call you 'daddy'..."
"Hahaha, whether she calls daddy or not doesn't matter, I have to prove to her that I'm not a three-second man!"
Li Qianfan said seriously.
"In my heart, you are a War God!" Hong Jiui stood up, wrapped her arms around Li Qianfan's neck, and passionately kissed him.
Li Qianfan, too, responded passionately without speaking.
After leaving Hong Jiui's office, it was already past seven in the evening. As Li Qianfan was preparing to go to the resting room to wait for his shift, he received a call from Li Dalong, who said, "Xiao Fan, co ho quickly, I have sothing to discuss with you!"
