Ning Luoxi went out for about half an hour and returned with a very large box, much larger than her slim figure. Lin Tian felt quite amazed; she truly was a strong woman.

"This is a complete set of experimental equipment. Take a look and see if there's anything missing. I can get it for you," Ning Luoxi said.

Lin Tian opened it and saw all new test tubes, beakers, an alcohol lamp, stands—everything was there, including a centrifuge. He wondered where she got it from; having money certainly makes things easier.

"This is pretty much enough. Actually, I could use a regular medicinal pot to brew, but that would be too inefficient and waste a lot of effective ingredients. Since we've learned chemistry in school, we should put it to good use," Lin Tian said with a smile.

"Do you need any help?" Ning Jianxun asked.

"There's not much to do. You can help fetch some clean water for me; I'll need it later," Lin Tian instructed.

Ning Jianxun nodded cheerfully and went to work briskly. Before Lin Tian even finished setting up the equipment on the table, he had already returned with water.

Lin Tian continued to fiddle with the equipment while Ning Family members watched without daring to disturb him. For Lin Tian, this was a simple and easy extraction process, but to them as outsiders, it seemed a bit nerve-wracking.

Once he had set up the equipment and lit the alcohol lamp, Lin Tian waved for Ning Luoxi to bring over the box containing the Blue Snake Grass. Ning Weiguo and the others, who had never seen what Blue Snake Grass looked like, craned their necks curiously at the box.

When Lin Tian opened the box, a strong chill surged out, instantly turning the warm hall rather cold. Not just cool, but genuinely cold.

The sudden drop in temperature made Fang Ming shiver a few times, and even Ning Weiguo and Ning Weirong, being men, felt the cold seeping into their bodies and were quite uncomfortable. Ning Luoxi turned to fetch a blanket and draped it over Fang Ming.

"Xixi, this is the Xuanbing you mentioned earlier, right? I didn't expect it to be even more magical than I imagined. Just a box of it brought down the temperature of the entire hall," Ning Weiguo marveled, while Ning Jianxun and his son also widened their eyes.

"This thing is way more effective than an air conditioner," Ning Jianxun remarked.

Actually, Lin Tian wanted to say, "What's Xuanbing compared to the Ice Soul I have? But it's sealed in that silvery-white box, so others can't feel it."

Ning Luoxi turned to Lin Tian and asked, "How do you get rid of Xuanbing? These Xuanbing won't melt even if left in the sun all day."

She saw that Ning Jianxun and the others seemed doubtful, so she picked up a piece of Blue Snake Grass and brought the Xuanbing near the flame of the alcohol lamp. Amazingly, the ice didn't melt but rather, the flame shrank suddenly and almost went out.

Lin Tian explained to them, "The temperature drops instantly, although you can use fire to melt it; it's just a bit troublesome."

He took the Blue Snake Grass from Ning Luoxi's hand, extended a finger, and snapped it on the Xuanbing. With a crisp sound, the Xuanbing shattered and fell to the ground like pearls.

Ning Jianxun stared wide-eyed at Lin Tian and asked, "Brother Lin, did you train in Finger Snapping Skill?"

Lin Tian gave him a disdainful look and said, "Brother Ning, you're an Ancient Martial Artist. Finger Snapping Skill, really? Have you been watching too much TV?"

Ning Jianxun chuckled awkwardly and said, "When I was young, I was obsessed with martial arts novels. I blurted it out without thinking."

Lin Tian found it amusing. You're already a martial arts master, yet you talk about martial arts novels. After dealing with the Xuanbing, Lin Tian separated the roots and began the extraction process.

The entire process didn't take long before Lin Tian had extracted a bottle of potion. The potion was a deep blue, looking very stunning under the light.

"Is this it?" Ning Jianxun scratched his head and asked, puzzled, as the process seemed a bit too simple.

"This is the finished product. Don't be fooled by the simple steps—you wouldn't manage it. It needs to be done by someone familiar with pharmacology. I'll extract a few bottles this time. You can keep the remaining Blue Snake Grass and have a physician help you extract more later. I recommend Elder Jiang; she's quite suitable," Lin Tian advised.

"Lin Tian, are you leaving?" Fang Ming seemed a bit reluctant and wanted to keep Lin Tian, saying, "Well, you are going back to Xikou City eventually. How about this: since the high school exam results are coming out soon, you can go back with me then. In the meantime, let Xixi take you around Jinghua City."

Lin Tian looked at Ning Luoxi, who didn't voice any opinion. Then, looking at Fang Ming's hopeful face, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Alright, since Xiao Tian and Xixi have been busy for so long, let's allow them to rest," Ning Weiguo finally said.

After receiving the Blue Snake Grass, everyone was delighted. After they dispersed, Lin Tian followed Ning Jianxun to the guest room; he would be staying at the Ning Mansion tonight.

Lin Tian was indeed exhausted. As soon as he entered the bedroom, he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. When he woke again, the sun outside was already high.

After washing up, he walked out to the balcony and was bathed in warm sunlight. It felt much more pleasant compared to the cold, damp underground river.

Just as he was thinking about doing some exercises, Lin Tian noticed someone wandering outside the yard. The figure was curvaceous—who else could it be but Ning Luoxi?

Lin Tian suddenly found it interesting. What was the little girl doing wandering outside? Could it be that she thought of coming to find me as soon as she woke up? It's rare for her to take the initiative, how unusual. But why didn't she come in?

"Luoxi, are you here to see me?" Lin Tian shouted out to her.

He then jumped directly from the balcony, startling Ning Luoxi. But on second thought, being several floors up wouldn't trouble Lin Tian.

Of course, Lin Tian wouldn't just jump straight down; it wouldn't be good to crash a deep pit into the Ning family's yard. He grabbed onto the protrusions of the outer wall and swung down into the yard.

"My mom is calling you for breakfast," Ning Luoxi said.

Lin Tian walked up grinning and said, "Did Aunt Fang only ask you to do this?"

Ning Luoxi hesitated a moment before saying, "And to accompany you out." She turned and walked away after speaking.

Accompany me out? From another angle, isn't this what's called a date? Aunt Fang sure put in a lot of effort, Lin Tian thought with a gleam in his eyes.

After having breakfast with Ning Weiguo and the others in the living room, Ning Luoxi indeed went out with him. The little girl had never been on a date with a man before, walking ahead without saying a word.

Lin Tian followed behind, helplessly shaking his head. He wanted to take out his phone for a look, but when he felt his pocket, he realized he hadn't brought it—it was still at the Yun Family. He furrowed his brow, feeling a bit uneasy. He wasn't sure if it was because he was used to having a phone or for some other reason.

"Luoxi, let's go to the Yun Family first. I need to get my phone," Lin Tian called out.

Ning Luoxi, without any plans for sightseeing, naturally agreed to whatever Lin Tian said. It was still Ning Luoxi who drove the car, heading towards the Yun Family.
