Little Guli leaped five meters away and pounced into Lin Yao's arms, habitually hugging Lin Yao's head and nibbling at it a few times. Only after stopping did he announce his major academic achievement in the capital.
Upon suddenly noticing Xia Yuwen standing behind Lin Yao, Xiao Guli immediately shouted, "Mom, you have to take me to school tomorrow too! If Dad is busy, you can take me. Parents have to take me to school every time. Sister Nannan has her mom take her, so I want my mom to take me too!"
Xia Yuwen suddenly blushed with embarrassment. Although it wasn't the first time she had heard Xiao Guli call her that, she always found it difficult to respond. She was still a virgin, and it was too shameful for people to know that she had such a grown son. No matter what, she found it hard to accept Xiao Guli's address with a clear conscience, even though she had long since accepted the identity of this adopted son from the bottom of her heart.
Lin Yao was in a bind. He thought to himself that he was too busy, and his parents were also busy maintaining Minhong's business. They had neglected the little guy's treatment and education. Several years had passed, and Xiao Guli had never mentioned his biological parents again. He had completely integrated into his new identity. Should he simply change his name to "Lin Li" in the future?
Nannan finally staggered closer, pouting as if complaining that Xiao Guli had taken up all the space. With a sudden burst of strength, she leaped from the ground, soaring over head height. Landing like a roc pouncing on a rabbit, her posture exuding the aura of a martial arts master.
Xiao Guli was clearly familiar with Nannan's habits. He immediately stepped aside, tilting his head to the ground while his feet were tightly hooked around Lin Yao's chest and waist, giving the highest point to Lin Yao's head. This was obviously to let Lin Yao deal with the large bird, Nannan, swooping down from the sky.
"Naughty……"
Lin Yao smiled, and with a feigned wave of his right hand, he summoned the energy of heaven and earth to lift the little girl in the air, then slowly lower her into the crook of his right arm. He felt very gratified. The two little ones seemed very diligent, and now they had reached an extremely proficient level in both unleashing and controlling their "human core power." Their ability to deal with crises in the future would be greatly enhanced, which made him very happy.
"Ah Lang is back?"
Dika said something trivial, her face slightly flushed. She had heard what Xiao Guli said earlier, and although he was talking about Xia Yuwen, it reminded her of her own experience. She immediately felt that Lin Yao had seen through her, and her expression became a little unnatural. "The Grand Elder is busy in the laboratory. General Xia heard that Alang was coming back today, so he came over at noon and has been waiting until now."
"Grandpa's here? That's great, I'll go see him right away."
Xia Yuwen finally escaped her embarrassment and found something to avoid the awkwardness caused by the little guy. Just as she was about to run towards the villa hall, she suddenly remembered something, turned around, took a beautifully packaged box from the luggage that Yi Zuojun was carrying, and stuffed it into Dika's arms.
"Dika, this is a Tibetan knife I bought for you in Jiuzhaigou. I think it suits you perfectly. Wear it and show it to me later. It'll definitely look cooler than Lara Croft from Tomb Raider!"
After saying that, Xia Yuwen hugged Dika and hurriedly ran towards the villa's hall. The shy girl even forgot about the kung fu she had learned, and just ran with a swaying body, like an ordinary girl.
Sitting on Lin Yao's arm with his arms around his neck, Xiao Guli opened his mouth, but held back the words that were about to come out. He wanted to say that he thought Aunt Dika was just as suitable as Sister Wenwen to be his mother, but he remembered Lin Yao's anger last time, so he didn't dare to think about it anymore. He stuck to Lin Yao and asked if he could take them to school the next day.
"Good son-in-law, you're finally back."
A voice as loud as a broken gong rang out, its booming sound clearly audible even from a distance, leaving Lin Yao puzzled as to what was wrong with General Xia. His speech seemed somewhat incoherent.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the old man's mouth was stuffed full, which made his speech unclear and his voice sound like a broken gong. It seemed that the food Alina had prepared had tempted the old man.
Ever since Alina occasionally cooked Bai ethnic dishes for everyone to taste, Yi Zuojun's status as the personal chef has been seriously threatened. Every few days, he would be asked to take a break and have Alina cook for him. Alina readily agreed to this request, which resulted in General Xia visiting the "Urban Forest" more frequently. He seemed determined not to give up until he had tasted all of Alina's endless culinary creations.
"Good son-in-law..."
General Xia swallowed his mouthful of food with difficulty, pushed away the tea offered by Xia Yuwen who was following behind him, rushed over and put his arm around Lin Yao's shoulder, making the two little ones on him feel cramped. "That's how it's going to be! You don't know, those arrogant little bastards all came looking for me today, so I had to hide here with you."
Lin Yao was a little confused by the few nonsensical words. The two little ones obediently turned around and got off the ground, no longer bothering Lin Yao. They pulled Xia Yuwen and Dika to the restaurant, knowing that Alina's dishes were on the table and they had to hurry up and satisfy their cravings.
"The 'antidote powder' you concocted!"
General Xia seemed somewhat annoyed by Lin Yao's slowness, and raised his voice again, making Lin Yao's ears ring. "Now they know who's more capable. That damn 'Nine People Pharmaceuticals' can only produce treatment drugs, and they're ridiculously expensive. How can they compare to the cheap and effective medicine that my good son-in-law makes? It can even prevent the spread of the virus. People from the military are coming to me one after another, saying that this epidemic is quite serious and they want to use their connections to buy some."
Lin Yao smiled, thinking to himself that the pandemic that "Nine People Pharmaceuticals" created to highlight their value had ruined their own reputation. The next game was the key. He could not be soft in the future. Even if it made everyone suspicious, he had to eliminate the key person "Chen Ai" placed in "Nine People Pharmaceuticals". China was not a place that they could touch!

The "Tai Sui" in the western region seems to be a different species. Compared to the eastern and central regions, it appears to be more resilient, resembling a large, variegated clod of clay, with dark red and yellowish-brown mixed together, making it look anything but pure.
Lin Yao felt uneasy. Although his mental state and ability to withstand pressure were already very strong, he was still nervous at this moment because the refining of "Tai Sui" was of great significance. It was even related to the success or failure of the battle with "Chen Ai" and the safety of his relatives and friends, which made him feel anxious.
"Yaoyao, let's begin."
Xiaocao's voice was full of concern, and she was also nervous, but this nervousness was not very natural. It was as if she was nervous for Lin Yao's sake, unlike the nervousness she felt when she faced "Dawn" and heard about important events related to "Dawn". After realizing her own state, Xiaocao simply stopped talking, which made Lin Yao quite depressed for a while.
"Um."
Taking a deep breath, Lin Yao cleared his mind of distractions and focused his attention on gathering his medical true energy to create a hand seal. A ray of lightning shot from his fingertip toward the cauldron, flashing and disappearing within its surface in an eerie manner.
The cauldron has returned to normal. Of course, this normality is relative to before leaving Beijing. Back then, the lightning entering the cauldron was affected by the energy inside and became uncontrollable. Now, after Xiaocao stuffed the four spirit stones into the remaining four round holes, everything seemed to have returned to normal. Even the previous test results made Lin Yao feel that he could control the lightning inside the cauldron more easily, and the medical true energy consumed was also much less.
Now all that remains is to see if the "Tai Sui" can successfully enter the cauldron and be successfully refined. Lin Yao has always regarded the "Tai Sui" as a kind of magical life. Like all scientists today, this mysterious thing whose life habits are not understood or grasped by scientists and researchers makes Lin Yao quite worried. He is worried that it has a special identity like the grass and cannot enter the cauldron.
"Why not use it with the pseudo-elixir fire and the alchemy furnace? Back then, we would have to properly place the pseudo-elixir fire into the furnace from above. I don't know if this strange ability is lightning or a characteristic of the cauldron..."
Lin Yao suddenly started daydreaming again, stopping the hand seals he was performing. This puzzled Xiao Cao, who waited a while and still saw Lin Yao spacing out. She couldn't help but shout, "Yao Yao, what are you thinking about? Hurry up!"
"oh."
He swiftly channeled his healing energy into a hand seal, and the electric light within the cauldron rapidly absorbed the energy generated by the seal, like the surface of a sea, dancing and leaping within the cauldron. From the perspective of the small grass, the electric light instantly transformed into an electric net. The speed was so fast that it was impossible to react, and the entire space inside the cauldron instantly turned into a shimmering silver expanse.
"Attention, I've thrown away the 'Tai Sui'!"
As soon as Xiaocao finished speaking, a "Tai Sui" with a diameter of eighty centimeters and the shape of a clod of earth was thrown into the cauldron from a high altitude. It crashed into the bottom of the cauldron with a bang. As soon as it came into contact with the silvery electric grid, it was immediately dyed silver, and the ugly variegated color of the "Tai Sui" could no longer be seen.
"Great! We can refine pills!"
Little Grass chirped excitedly, predicting the outcome in advance. In her mind, as long as "Tai Sui" could successfully enter the cauldron, it could be refined into a pill. Because all kinds of pills could be refined by lightning and the cauldron in the past, as long as it could not enter the space inside the cauldron like she did, the refining should not be a problem.
