“Yes, but I can’t divide this pill into smaller portions right now, so I can only give people the whole pill.” Lin Yao was also very straightforward. “Not to mention that this pill requires someone at the peak of the Earth Rank to take it, and that we two have to protect him personally, the cost and effort of refining this pill alone makes it a waste to give it to someone at the peak of the Earth Rank. Even if Yi An doesn’t take the pill, he can still handle other peak Earth Rank experts from other families, right? Although it can help him reach the peak sooner, I have a lot of things to do lately and shouldn’t be refining this kind of pill. I hope the Grand Elder can understand.”
"If you want everyone to take it, we have to wait until the conditions are right, and then I'll learn more Miao witchcraft techniques before we can do it," Lin Yao concluded.
The higher the cultivation level of the Yi family disciples, the stronger their bodies become. Judging from the results of the experiment, only those at the peak of the Earth level can withstand the witch power contained in an entire pill. Otherwise, they will either be directly absorbed by Lin Yao or explode, and it is unclear whether they will live or die.
"Fortunately, Yi An was so enthusiastic; if it were any other disciple testing the medicine, it would probably have failed," Lin Yao thought to himself. He decided that he would wait until he had a clear understanding of the pill's properties before letting Yi Gong and Yi Shui take it, since he also hoped for the Yi family's strength to increase. As for Yi Yang, he would naturally be among the first to take the medicine. Just the fact that Yi Yang had given him and Xiao Cao this opportunity was enough to warrant treating him exceptionally well.
"Sir, I would like to ask for another one." Elder Yi Potian hesitated, clearly feeling unsure of himself as he was asking for medicine for his son.
"Is it for Yi Yang? Of course it's for him. We'll have him come to Chengdu sometime, and the two of us will help him protect the Dharma. His body isn't as strong as Elder An's, and it might be dangerous for you to help protect the Dharma alone." Lin Yao smiled slightly. "Yi Yang is the head of the Yi family, so we have to improve his strength. Otherwise, it will tarnish the reputation of our Yi family when we go out."
"Thank you, sir!" Elder Yi Potian bowed to Lin Yao. This bow was on behalf of Yi Yang and had nothing to do with his own identity.
With Yi An's drug trials concluded, Lin Yao returned to the alchemy room to prepare for refining the second batch of "Life-Giving Pills".
This time, Lin Yao could only refine the super "Life-Giving Pill" without adding witchcraft power, otherwise he wouldn't even have the opportunity to treat patients and make money. As for the "Bigu Pill," he temporarily stopped refining it, and even the "Heaven-Mending Pill" had to be produced in limited quantities, using as little wild ginseng as possible as possible as to avoid wasting too much pseudo-elixir fire.
Absorbing witch power from the "Life-Giving Pill" mixed with witch power is not feasible. Lin Yao has already tried it. The witch power and spiritual energy seem to be imprisoned by the pill, and he cannot absorb any of them. He will have to wait for Xiao Cao to come out of seclusion to see if she has any solutions. Otherwise, he can only give it to the top-level Earth-level expert of the Yi family. The rest can only be wasted by himself. The only benefit is the witch power mixed in, but that witch power can be absorbed directly without refining the pill.
What a waste! Over four million!
His miserly nature kicked in again. Lin Yao lowered his voice, looked up at the sky, and sighed deeply before continuing to refine pills.

"Grandma~~~" Lin Yao shouted loudly, crossed the boundary and rushed over, running into the arms of an old woman.
“Yao’er… is it Yao’er?” Lin Yao’s maternal grandmother was very short, only 1.52 meters tall, and her all-white hair shone brightly under the airport’s well-lit structure.
She was very thin, and it wasn't difficult for her to hug Lin Yao, who was much taller than her. At this moment, Lin Yao had bent over and put his head on his grandmother's right shoulder, while his arms were wrapped around his grandmother's body. He was so excited that his body was trembling.
Glancing at her daughter and son-in-law, who were still standing outside the cordon, the old woman finally realized that the young man who had rushed into her arms was the grandson she had been talking about, and tears streamed down her face.
"My dear Yao'er, let Grandma see what you've grown up to. Su'er said you've become a handsome young man, but the photo is too small, and Grandma's eyes aren't good enough to see clearly." The old woman freed her left hand and wiped away the tears on her face. Then she touched Lin Yao's head, her voice choked with emotion, and her words became unclear.
"Grandma, look, it's me, Yao'er. I'm all better now." Lin Yao's eyes were filled with tears, but he smiled. The tears on his cheeks glistened under his fair skin.
Tears are tears of joy, laughter is laughter of contentment.
Lin Yao felt the closest to this elderly man who had cherished him like a treasure since he was a child.
If it weren't for his grandmother, Lin Yao would never exist in this world.
Young parents don't know how to take care of children, especially children who are born with weak constitutions. Having a lot of love is not enough to ensure that the child receives good care. So, after Lin Yao was born, his maternal grandmother stayed with him from the factory until his parents resigned and returned to their hometown in Sichuan. They lived in Ya'an for nine years until Lin Yao was ten years old and his condition was slightly under control. Then, another elderly person in the family needed to be taken care of, so they left Ya'an and returned to Hanwu City.
It can be said that Lin Yao spent his entire childhood in his maternal grandmother's arms. Her kind smile and warm touch were his support in overcoming physical pain and escaping loneliness.
If there's anyone in this world besides his parents that Lin Yao loves the most, it's his maternal grandmother. This woman's love is irreplaceable.
The only person in the Luo family that Lin Yao felt a good impression of was his grandmother. She only showed him occasional words of concern, an occasional loving glance, and even more occasionally, she would secretly slip him a little snack. Other than that, she did nothing else.
The woman before him gave all her love to Lin Yao, protecting his life and nourishing his young, suffering soul.
This kind of love is so noble and so selfless that it will be unforgettable.
"Hehe, my Yao'er... hehe, my Yao'er is really such a handsome boy... hehe." Grandma could only laugh repeatedly, tears streaming down her face as she kept stroking Lin Yao's forehead, eyes, nose, cheeks, and ears...
Lin Yao smiled foolishly, tears still streaming down his face, wetting the old man's rough hands. The two of them stood there like that, a touching scene, a warm feeling permeating the entire hall.
Passengers who witnessed this scene were deeply moved. Some, after regaining their senses, immediately took out their phones, turned on their phones (which had been switched off during the flight), and called their elders far away to express their heartfelt gratitude.
Lin Yao's maternal grandfather and cousin walked right past the two of them, greeted Lin Hongmei quietly, and then turned to stare at the grandfather and granddaughter in silence. Neither of them spoke again.
Time passed quickly, yet slowly at the same time. When the grandmother and grandson finally calmed down a bit, Lin Yao's maternal grandmother took his hand and led him toward the exit, just like when he was a child and she held his tender little hand and followed behind him.
Lin Yao had grown into an adult, taller and stronger than his grandmother, but in the old woman's eyes, he was still the child seeking adult care and attention, and would always be her beloved grandson.
"Grandpa." Lin Yao was pulled to his grandfather's side by his grandmother, who then let go of his hand.
