Chapter 70: The Value of the Heluo Pill Book

The high-grade pills in front of them signify that the Yun Family is about to step onto a new level.

"Uncle, are you... okay?"

Seeing his Yun Family uncle in a daze, Han couldn’t help but remind him.

Hearing the voice, his Yun Family uncle finally came back to himself.

He had always thought that Shen Han was just fooling around, curious about new things.

Plus, youthful arrogance—many young people think they can accomplish what others cannot.

His Yun Family uncle originally intended to use this matter to teach Shen Han some life lessons...

But now he himself learned a lesson: never use your prejudice to judge a genius.

"Uncle..."

"I’m fine... If it weren’t for the difference in our seniority, it would be right for me to kneel to you in gratitude."

Shen Han couldn’t help but smile and waved his hand to refuse, "Uncle, please don’t say that. We are family, and if I can aid the Yun Family, it’s only natural to do my best."

"This Pill Formula that several generations of the Yun Family could not comprehend, you solved in a night.

Do you know how precious this booklet is?

With such a booklet, the Yun Family becoming the top Medicine-Refining Family in Great Wei is almost certain.

Uncle doesn’t know how to thank you..."

Sometimes, when the favor is too great, it’s hard to know how to repay it.

"The Third Madam treated me like her own. Without her protection in the Shen Family, who knows what would have become of me.

For today’s matters, uncle need not thank me; it is Shen Han’s duty."

Shen Han spoke lightly, but his Yun Family uncle knew very well that he should remember this favor.

If the Yun Family grows strong, Shen Han would surely be their firmest support.

Before he could speak, the door of the Pill Room was pushed open with force.

Outside, a white-bearded elder stood at the entrance, his face showing anger.

"Father, why are you here?"

"You brat, is this how you handle family business?

It was hard to invite Boss Sha today, and you said you had no time!

You need to know your place. The Recovery Pill, Blood Replenishing Pill, they aren’t exclusively produced by our Yun Family.

If we don’t placate Boss Sha, others will snatch this share immediately!"

Undoubtedly, the white-bearded elder in front should be the current Patriarch of the Yun Family.

Also known as the uncle, Madam Yun’s father.

Shen Han stood aside, bowing in greeting to the Yun Family Patriarch.

At this moment, the Yun Family Patriarch also noticed Shen Han.

"You must be Shen Han. How do you find living in the Yun Family?"

Compared to speaking with his Yun Family uncle, his tone with him was much more amicable.

"With preferential care, Cailing and I are doing well in the Yun Family."

"That’s good. Consider this place your home.

But today, I’ll have to take your uncle away for some urgent business. You two kids can rest in the estate."

Saying so, the Yun Family Patriarch waved his hand, instructing the household servants to find some entertainment for Shen Han and Cailing.

The Yun Family uncle, however, wore a smile on his face.

"Every time we negotiate with Boss Sha, he speaks derogatorily about our Yun Family. I didn’t want to cooperate further..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Yun Family Patriarch waved his hand.

"I think you’re about to ruin the Yun Family.

With Boss Sha’s business so grand, what right do you have to say you won’t cooperate with him?"

Even being scolded, the Yun Family uncle continued to smile.

"Based on this."

He stepped aside to reveal the pills on the table.

The Yun Family uncle no longer hid his excitement.

"Father, from today on, our Yun Family won’t have to live under anyone else’s shadow.

The entire family will advance to a new level!"

The Yun Family Patriarch stepped forward, picked up a pill and sniffed it, observing carefully.

Indeed, these pills are of high grade.

And the pills are exceptionally well-formed!

"Were all of these crafted by you?"

The Yun Family uncle handed over the small booklet.

"This is what this child Han comprehended in one night from the Pill Formulas carved on the Pill Room’s walls.

My sister said Han has quite the talent for the Martial Path, breaking into the Eighth Grade after just over four months of practice.

Little did I know this talent would be equally impressive in Alchemy Dao."

The Yun Family uncle unabashedly showed admiration on his face.

While the Yun Family Patriarch, holding the booklet, actually looked a bit reverent.

His hands meticulously turned the pages.

After reading the first Pill Formula, the Yun Family Patriarch began preparing herbs and utensils.

At this moment, there was no Boss Sha in mind at all.

Everything else was forgotten.

Herbs were added, the fire ignited...

In about one-two-hour period, the Barrier-Breaking Pill was formed.

Its gray-black surface couldn’t hide its fragrance.

Following the method indicated in the booklet, crafting a high-grade pill felt almost easy.

At that moment, the Yun Family Patriarch finally understood why his son spoke this way.

That Boss Sha? No, now he should be called Sha Junior.

From now on, pill merchants like Sha Junior will be the ones begging the Yun Family.

"Don’t look at me. The insights Han wrote down are beyond your son’s talents."

The Yun Family uncle seemingly preempted what his father wanted to say and spoke first.

Turning to look at Shen Han, the Yun Family Patriarch opened his mouth for a long time without uttering a word.

"Grandfather, whatever you want to say, Shen Han understands."

Seeing Shen Han say this, the Yun Family Patriarch’s face showed even more gratitude.

"You child... No wonder Shuang’Er always says you’re so sensible...

It’s said that sensible children suffer grievances, but our Yun Family will never let you endure that again."

Saying this, the Yun Family Patriarch took Shen Han’s hand and walked out of the Pill Room.

He then instructed the household attendants, "Pass the word, from today, close the mansion for a month, and stop accepting new pill orders."

They walked to the back garden with the Yun Family Patriarch.

The back garden was much quieter, and the Yun Family uncle discreetly followed behind, listening to his father speak.

"Actually, I can craft a few high-grade pills too, but each time the success rate is only about thirty percent.

Not only does this waste a lot of herbs, but it also requires several days of effort.

However, Han, with the Pill Formulas you’ve annotated, it’s a transformative improvement. In less than a two-hour period, you can craft a pill..."

As an outsider to the Alchemy Dao, Shen Han honestly didn’t understand how valuable the "Heluo Pill Book" was before.

Now, seeing the reactions of the Yun Family Patriarch and uncle, he gained some understanding.

"Grandfather, please don’t feel distant. We are indeed family, and in the future, I’ll still rely on the Yun Family for protection."

Upon hearing this, the Yun Family father and son had a realization.

Shen Han still had a marriage agreement hanging over him.

The affair between the Shen Family and arranging a marriage between Shen Ye and Su Jinyu wasn’t a secret.

"Rest assured, child, although the Yun Family’s power isn’t as great as the Shen Family, the Shen Family wouldn’t dare to forcibly take you from our Yun Mansion.

But, I’ve been thinking, Han, with your talent, the Shen Family..."

Indeed, with Shen Han showing potential, the Shen Family should be supportive.

"Since childhood, I’ve faced exclusion in the Shen Family, especially being loathed by Old Dowager Shen, making my life in Shen Mansion even more miserable.

In the eyes of the Shen Family’s top brass, I should have long harbored resentment toward the entire Shen Family.

Of course, they’re not wrong. I do despise the Shen Family.

In such circumstances, the more they see my potential, the more worried they become.

Moreover, with Shen Ye, the talented eldest son, the Shen Family does not lack successors for the next generation."
