Chapter 23

The night was cool as water, and the villa was brightly lit.

Ji Fu sat on the largest sofa in the living room, her gaze falling on the An family members outside the French windows.

With the mention of the Panyun Tian Xing Fang, Huang Peilan went against the majority opinion and directly protected her.

She even had all the An family members removed from G-730.

Through the French windows, Ji Fu saw An Hua’s face turn pale.

He tried several times to say something to Huang Peilan, but she interrupted him each time.

“Anping’s crime is indisputable, he deserves to die,” Huang Peilan said coldly. “Mr. An, do you understand?”

This wasn’t an informing, it was a warning.

A warning that if they made any more moves, then more than just Anping would die.

Anhua’s face went white, and he couldn’t utter a word.

The younger generation around him were furious, but they also understood the fundamental reason for Huang Peilan’s change in attitude. One of them spoke out loudly, “This Ji Fu is nothing but a lowly talented commoner. Isn’t Huang Family afraid of being deceived?”

This statement was unbearable for those around Huang Peilan. She sneered coldly, “Whether Miss Ji’s words are true or not, Mr. An should look around. This is the Huang Family!”

If Ji Fu was really lying, could she still walk out of G-730?

Under the power struggle, even though the An family was angry and unwilling, they dared not act out again.

But little did they know, this was just the beginning.

Failing to deal with Ji Fu, Anhua and the An family planned to return to their galaxy to think of another solution.

But just as they left, they were informed that their starship had been detained by the highest authority.

“The An family is involved in numerous cases, and today, I’m afraid you won’t be able to return,” before they could react, all the An family members present were detained.

The one leading their detention was Cheng Hao.

The internal management of the Alliance was complex, and the highest authority usually didn’t intervene in ordinary cases.

Looking at Cheng Hao detaining everyone, Wen Fang said to the people beside him, “It’s been investigated. The news of An Zaiyang’s abuse of power was also from an organization called the Butchery.”

“Even the Interstellar News doesn’t know when they invaded our system. Our people tried to trace them via IP, but their entire system was paralyzed, and there were no useful clues.”

Upon hearing the word “clue,” Fang Yanli’s demeanor changed slightly, and he turned to look at the person sitting quietly in the villa.

Inside the villa, Huang Peilan looked nervous and asked Ji Fu, “Do you still have the Panyun Tian Xing Fang?”

After so many years, she had searched for everything in the entire galaxy related to curing deficient talents, and her own research on this matter was deep.

So naturally, she knew about the Panyun Tian Xing Fang.

But this formula had been tried many times by her subordinates and senior pharmacists in the Alliance, but none had succeeded.

“It’s already used up,” was the result, which didn’t surprise Huang Peilan, as Ji Fu’s talent wouldn’t increase if she didn’t use it.

“I still have a batch of raw materials here. Miss Ji, I hope you won’t disappoint me,” Huang Peilan said calmly, instructing someone to retrieve the Pan Yun Grass from the material warehouse.

What Huang Peilan didn’t say was that almost all the remaining Pan Yun Grass on the market had been bought by her.

But after several failed attempts at formulation, she only had one plant left, which she had never used, preserving a glimmer of hope for herself.

“Pan Yun Grass is rare, and currently, I only have one plant. If it fails…” Huang Peilan raised her gaze and looked at the person on the sofa.

“Today’s matter is not as simple as just Anping dying.”

Ji Fu was drinking tea, and when she heard Huang Peilan’s suggestive words, she didn’t respond.

Only after finishing her tea, she placed the cup gently in front of her and said calmly, “After the Panyun TianXing Fang is made, there will be two portions in total.”

She looked up at Huang Peilan. “I want one portion.”

The living room fell silent, and the people behind Huang Peilan immediately changed their expressions. “The family head helped you resolve Anping’s matter, and you still dare to make demands?”

For any other pharmacist, this would be an impossible request.

She actually demanded a finished product right after opening her mouth.

But this person didn’t realize that because of Ji Fu’s confidence, Huang Peilan became even more convinced that she could make it. Suppressing her excitement, she looked only at Ji Fu. “Alright, I promise you.”

She had been searching for this thing for nearly a decade, and people were almost desperate. Finally encountering a glimmer of hope, she had to try.

“Also, when I conduct the experiment, I don’t want anyone to disturb me, and you don’t need to provide the tools for the experiment,” Ji Fu continued, pushing the boundaries further.

Huang Yuanfan and a few students from Class A sat in the side hall, watching the people coming and going in the living room. Ji Fu even had someone call Jiang Wei over to help with the experimental tools.

He couldn’t help but sneer, “Such a big scene, it would be laughable if you couldn’t even manage it when the time comes.”

Sun Yiming next to him was somewhat uneasy, furrowing his brows he said, “Can’t we wait outside?”

Huang Yuanfan’s face grew cold, “Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

Sun Yiming hurriedly explained, “Don’t misunderstand, we’re just ordinary classmates with Ji Fu, her actions have nothing to do with us.”

“It’s just that her experiment, it’s somewhat dangerous…” Before he could finish his words, a deafening sound came from outside.

Bang!

Huang Yuanfan’s expression changed slightly, he quickly stood up and looked outside.

At a glance, he saw the towering flames.

“What’s happening?” he asked the servant at home in a cold voice.

The servant looked somewhat strange, “Young master, nothing’s wrong, it’s just that Miss Ji blew up Base 2.”

Huang Yuanfan: ?

He almost fainted from anger. Base 2 was his mecha construction base, and she blew it up with an experiment?

But this was just the beginning.

In the next few days, Ji Fu blew up a total of nineteen experimental bases of the Huang family.

Qin Chu Yue was ecstatic, “Darling, I heard that Huang Peilan has been looking haggard these days, are you doing this intentionally?”

She was well-nourished, with everything she needed in the material pool.

The highest authority outside was investigating rigorously, but they couldn’t find her anywhere in the entire G-730.

Little did they know she was hiding in the material pool, listening to gossip from the Huang family every day through a small window.

Ji Fu there raised an eyebrow, “The success rate of the Tianxing formula of the Plate Cloud Star is originally low.”

Even if she succeeded once, it wouldn’t be easy to do so again the second time.

Fortunately, this Plate Cloud Grass of Huang Peilan was twice the size of the one at school, with a higher tolerance, so she couldn’t help but want to try something else…

“Tsk.” Qin Chu Yue peeked outside, “Why hasn’t Fang Yanli left yet?”

This dead policeman was stuck here and wouldn’t leave, and even sent people to check the material pool several times, but luckily they were all stopped by the Huang family at the door.

“Could he be suspecting you?” Qin Chu Yue frowned, somewhat worried.

Ji Fu remained calm, “An Zaiyang is related to An Ping, and those things about An Ping were spread by the slaughterhouse. All the evidence points to me, it would be abnormal if he didn’t suspect me.”

It was just because she was busy synthesizing the Plate Cloud Tianxing formula now that he hadn’t come to investigate immediately.

“Hmph, his nose is the most sensitive in the whole galaxy!”

Three years ago, they would have been imprisoned, which was the result of Fang Yanli’s relentless pursuit.

Ji Fu neither confirmed nor denied this. Wearing goggles, she finally dropped a drop of reagent into the solution. The reagent fused with the potion, presenting a dreamy light purple glow.

She said softly, “It’s done.”

Over there, Huang Peilan’s face looked particularly ugly.

From the moment Ji Fu entered the laboratory, the entire Huang family had been in chaos.

Close to seven days passed without any sign of success.

She had been waiting for nearly ten years, so she could naturally sit still, but others couldn’t.

These days, there had been constant whispers in her ears, saying that Ji Fu couldn’t really make the Plate Cloud Tianxing formula, she was just buying time.

As time passed, such dissenting voices grew louder and louder.

Huang Peilan didn’t show it on the surface, but she was becoming more and more anxious inside.

And now there was a perfect explanation for Ji Fu’s delaying tactics.

“The highest authority has investigated the entire An family,” the person beside her said in a deep voice, “Digging up radishes and bringing out mud, the entire An family is not clean.”

“Because of the matter of executing innocent civilians, they are in a precarious position. Including An Hua, they will all be sentenced to severe punishment.”

This meant that even if Ji Fu left the Huang family now, there would be no problem.

Huang Yuanfan’s face darkened, “Isn’t it obvious then? She’s been using us from beginning to end, waiting for everyone to be dealt with, she can just brush it off with a failed experiment.”

“It’s us who have been fooled by her for so long and have lost so many experimental bases!”

“If she fails after using up this Plate Cloud Grass, don’t blame me for being heartless.” An Ping was Huang Yuanfan’s man, so it was completely impossible for Huang Yuanfan not to be angry.

“What will you do then?” Huang Yuanfan’s expression changed slightly, and he turned his head abruptly, only to see Ji Fu walking slowly in.

“Kill me?”

Huang Yuanfan came to his senses, his gaze fell on Huang Peilan, and he said in a cold voice, “Do you know how much those bases you blew up are worth? And the materials you consumed during this time…”

“If you fail, shouldn’t you bear our losses?”

Ji Fu sat down on the sofa, lifted her head to look at him, “So, does that mean that if I succeed now, the Huang family should pay me compensation?”

“You succeeded?” Huang Yuanfan’s expression changed dramatically, his gaze complicated, and he looked at Huang Peilan for the first time.

No one understood better than him what this meant. If Huang Peilan’s child could be cured, then the vast Huang family might have little to do with him in the future.

The person in this living room with the most complicated mood was undoubtedly Huang Peilan. She stood up suddenly.

Although she was already extremely excited, at this moment, she could only forcefully suppress her surging emotions.

She took a deep breath and looked at Ji Fu, “Miss Ji.”

What Huang Peilan said was extremely solemn, “As long as this potion works, no matter how much compensation you want, I can satisfy it.

Jifu heard this and was somewhat satisfied.

She took out a test tube from the pocket of her coat and handed it to Huang Peilan.

Huang Peilan found it hard to describe her current feelings. For how many years had she begged, for the thing she dreamt of day and night, to be casually tucked into her coat pocket like this?

Contained in an ordinary test tube.

The sky is full of clouds and stars.

Huang Peilan took the test tube and looked at the colorful liquid inside, her expression extremely nervous.

She couldn’t wait a moment longer.

Within fifteen minutes, Huang Peilan gathered all the doctors of the Huang family and, carrying instruments and the bottle of Panyun Tian Xing Fang, went directly to the Iris Main Star.

Her daughter, Huang Yuwen, was settled in the main residence of the Huang family on the main star.

Huang Yuwen was also twelve years old this year, but due to her incomplete talent, she seemed particularly small and thin. Just looking at her appearance, she looked like a seven or eight-year-old girl.

When it was heard that Jifu successfully formulated the medicine, many people rushed over.

When Zhou Lu Hai arrived, he saw the crowd bustling around the living room, but didn’t see Jifu.

He glanced around and saw Ji Fu sitting in the side hall, holding a beautiful pale purple test tube in her hand, sipping on it sip by sip.

He hesitated for a moment, unable to resist walking over and asking her, “What are you drinking again?”

There always seemed to be something peculiar about her.

Ji Fu remained expressionless, “The sky full of stars.”

Zhou Lu Hai: ?

He was momentarily stunned, then turned to see the medicine Huang Peilan was holding, which was exactly the same as this one Jifu was holding.

So there were two in total, she gave one to Huang Peilan, and the other one she just opened and drank like it was a nutrient solution?

For Ji Fu, this thing was currently not much different from a nutrient solution.

At most, it would nourish her talent to a certain extent, but its effect was not significant.

She discovered this after the first successful treatment.

Because the interval between her drinking the two Panyun Tian Xing Fangs was not long. Even if her talent needed to be activated by that special drug to be treated, it did not affect the effectiveness of the Panyun Tian Xing Fang.

But in fact, after she took that special drug, her talent began to react violently.

She woke up once in the middle and drank the remaining one in her hand.

But the effect of the second one she drank afterward was minimal.

This point would be more obvious in the data. That night, after she took the special drug, her talent rose to C level in a few hours.

She drank another Panyun Tian Xing Fang, still C level.

This meant that the efficacy of the medicine had reached its peak.

To further treat her talent, a higher-level medicine was needed.

This was also why she took the initiative to help Huang Peilan make the medicine.

Panyun Tian Xing Fang could be useful to her, so it would definitely have an effect on ordinary incomplete talents, whether more or less effective than on her.

As long as it was useful, Huang Peilan would still have to rely on her in the future.

So, it was time to start her second step.

Sure enough.

Huang Yuwen had a D-level talent. After drinking the Pan Yun Tian Xing Fang, she didn’t suffer as much intense pain as Jifu did, nor did she need the stimulation of that special drug.

Unexpectedly, within an hour, her talent skyrocketed!

The speed of her talent’s repair was faster than Ji Fu’s, and the effect of Panyun Tian Xing Fang on her was even more exaggerated.

People from the Huang family monitored her talent in real-time, watching the incomplete talent grow bit by bit until it finally stabilized at B level.

Talent level, B.

Ji Fu sat aside, sipping hot tea, and looked up to see Huang Yuanfan’s pale face.

Huang Yuwen’s talent had risen to B, while Huang Yuanfan’s talent had only barely reached A.

“Although the incomplete talent has not been completely restored, it has been nourished almost halfway, Family Head! It seems that just one more dose of medicine, and Miss can return to normal!” The person speaking was trembling even in their voice.

Ten years!

A whole ten years.

From when Huang Yuwen’s incomplete talent was discovered at the age of two to now, who knew how Huang Peilan had endured it.

Now finally seeing results, not to mention Huang Peilan, even the other members of the Huang family were deeply moved.

Originally, it was thought that the position of Family Head could only be inherited by Huang Yuanfan in the future, but now it seemed that there might be many more variables.

Huang Peilan was overjoyed, she hugged Huang Yuwen tightly, her hands trembling even more.

“Wenwen, it’s done! Finally, it’s done!”

“Tsk tsk.” Jifu, wearing headphones, heard Qin Chu Yue’s voice: “No, I can’t bear to see Huang Peilan so happy.”

Jifu chuckled at the remark.

Zhou Lu Hai looked puzzled, but when he looked up, he met her clear and bright eyes.

He hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering.

On the other hand, Huang Peilan suddenly realized something. She let go of Huang Yuwen and walked a few steps to the side hall.

“Miss Ji.” Compared to before, Huang Peilan’s attitude had directly undergone a 180-degree change, her expression urgent: “I remember you said there were two doses of Panyun Tian Xing Fang, is the other one still in your hands?”

“Miss Ji, you can name your price. As long as you speak, no matter how much money, I will not hesitate.”

Ji Fu looked at her earnest eyes, shook her hand, and Huang Peilan quickly looked over, seeing her holding an empty test tube.

“This…?” Huang Peilan’s expression changed slightly.

“The other one has been drank by me.”

Beside her, Zhou Lu Hai pressed his forehead and nodded, “Yes, I saw her drink it with my own eyes.”

The entire villa fell silent.

Who would have thought, such a rare and precious thing, she would just drink it so casually.

But if you really investigate, that thing was originally promised to her by Huang Peilan.

How she handles it is her own problem.

But!

Someone took a deep breath, incredulously saying, “This kind of Pan Yun Tian Xing Fang, once it enters the market, it’s probably worth several million interstellar credits casually. She…”

To say she’s absurd, this potion was her concoction.

If you say she’s normal, who would just drink away several million like that?

This is simply…

Huang Peilan also didn’t expect that, in just a few short minutes, one could experience such highs and lows.

But she had been the head of the family for many years after all, her reaction was quick, she simply said, “It’s okay, since it’s already been drunk, let’s just forget about it.”

“Just that we’ll need Miss Ji to stay at G-730 for a while longer.” She remembered that the Xu family, one of the Four Majors, should still have a Pan Yun Grass.

Although there were some conflicts between the Huang and Xu families, if she wanted to get something from the Xu family, she figured she would have to shed some blood.

But as long as she could cure Huang Yuwen, she didn’t mind.

However, Ji Fu directly refused.

“Is the head of the Huang family planning to use Pan Yun Tian Xing Fang to heal Miss Huang’s flawed talent?” Ji Fu looked at her and said calmly, “That’s probably impossible.”

Huang Peilan’s expression stiffened, “Why is it impossible?”

Ji Fu said lightly, “Pan Yun Tian Xing Fang does indeed have miraculous effects in treating flawed talents, but only for the first dose.”

The room fell silent, everyone looked at her.

She walked slowly to the talent testing device and, in front of everyone, put the talent testing device on her hand.

“I’ve drunk this potion three times in total.” Her words had just fallen when the talent testing device beeped, then announced:

“Talent level is C.”

Huang Peilan’s heart sank immediately.

Leaving aside whether Ji Fu’s claim of three doses was true or false, at least the dose just now, she had drunk it directly here.

Same time, same dosage, but her talent didn’t change at all.

This means…

“Pan Yun Tian Xing Fang can only be used once, and after the first time, it will develop resistance.”

Huang Peilan heard this and closed her eyes in near despair.

B level.

It had to be B level.

If Huang Yuwen were born in an ordinary family, this B-level talent would be enough.

But to become the head of the Four Majors, the threshold had to be at least A.

Though B and A were just one level apart, in terms of significance, it was a huge difference.

She simply couldn’t accept it, after all the effort, Huang Yuwen still couldn’t inherit the position.

But Huang Yuanfan breathed a sigh of relief.

He even felt a bit amused; this B level was truly spot on.

Come to think of it, because of this B level, even Ji Fu seemed more agreeable to him.

With this thought, Huang Yuanfan was about to say a few words of comfort to Huang Peilan.

Unexpectedly, Ji Fu changed the subject and said directly, “But Pan Yun Tian Xing Fang won’t work, Uhai Steamed Cloud Formula might.”

Wu Hai Steamed Cloud.

She mentioned a name that Huang Peilan had never heard of.

Ji Fu said, “This is an S-level potion formula for treating flawed talents.”

Ahem! Qin Chu Yue was drinking nutrient solution and almost choked.

S-level material, wasn’t this what she had asked Qin Chu Yue about a few days ago?

She didn’t know Wu Hai Steamed Cloud, but she knew about the S+ Beast Wu Hai Beast.

There was a material in this formula, which was the heart of the Wu Hai Beast.

But…

“Is there really such a formula?” Qin Chu Yue scratched her head.

Ji Fu didn’t speak.

Of course not.

She had searched through all the textbooks in the entire Interstellar Academy, and even the books in the library with higher levels, after entering the Special Class A, she had searched there too.

But still couldn’t find a formula to treat talents.

It seemed like Panyun Tian Xing Fang was the only one.

After all, there were so many people in the interstellar, if this talent didn’t work, you could just exchange for another. No one was willing to continuously research and experiment for a flawed talent.

And considering the high failure rate of just one Panyun Tian Xing Fang, compared to the manpower and material resources consumed, wouldn’t it be simpler to just choose someone with a higher talent?

So there simply wasn’t any S-level prescription.

Wu Hai Steamed Cloud was a name made up by Ji Fu.

And these few materials, she had found them from all the existing S-level materials, the effects of the medicine were unclear, or it was clearly stated that they had a reverse effect on talent.

She planned to raise the grade of the materials according to the characteristics of Pan Yun Tian Xing Fang and make a new formula.

This was currently the most effective way to save herself.

And she was still using a machine to analyze the ingredients of that special medicine, in another half a month at most, she would have all the ingredients.

What she needed was not the help of the Huang family, but to make Huang Peilan find all the materials for her in the shortest time.

If Huang Peilan wanted to save her daughter, she had to save her first.

This was her condition.
