Lin Chen stepped into the secret chamber, and immediately a fragrance wafted through the air.

The herbs required to make the Heavenly Origin Pill were extremely precious, with millennium ginseng, thousand-year frost, and Tianshan snow lotus being among the most valuable of medicinal ingredients, together worth hundreds of millions.

The most important thing was that many of these herbs were nearly impossible to find and were extremely valuable, showing just how much the Miao family had invested in this girl.

"What's so special about this girl that the Miao family places such importance on her?" Lin Chen grew increasingly curious about the Miao family's youngest daughter.

Soon, the System finished calculating the composition of the medicine and the timing for adding the herbs, and Lin Chen ignited the Purple Flame Golden Fire to begin alchemy.

Although Lin Chen personally oversaw the process of alchemy, the system assisted with timing the addition of the herbs and controlling the fire, enabling him to quickly refine the medicinal ingredients into a liquid.

The final step was solidifying the liquid into a pill, which was the most difficult part. The liquid from different herbs had varying properties, leading to rejection during the process of pill refinement. To succeed in making the pill, the control over the fire and timing had to be immaculate—Miao Tian had failed on this step before.

However, these difficulties that seemed almost insurmountable to others were almost trivial for Lin Chen.

The System had long since perfectly blended the proportions of the liquid properties; all Lin Chen had to do was control the fire properly.

As the medicinal liquid began to solidify, Lin Chen took a small green herb from his bosom.

This herb was known as the Resurrection Grass, which Lin Chen had obtained from Medicine Valley.

While the grass itself was not highly valued, when mixed into the medicinal liquid, it held a special efficacy that could rapidly restore vitality to the injured in a short period of time.

About an hour later, a pale-green pill finally appeared in Lin Chen's hand.

Looking at the pill, Lin Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, having fulfilled his mission.

Meanwhile, outside the room, the atmosphere was extremely tense. Miao Tianlun paced back and forth incessantly, and several elders frowned in worry.

Suddenly, the door to the secret chamber opened, and Lin Chen walked out.

"How is it so fast, could it be a failure?" Miao Tianlun instinctively glanced at his watch; Lin Chen had only been in the secret chamber for two hours.

The expressions of the other elders also turned sour. Knowing that the Heavenly Origin Pill took at least two hours just to refine, three hours to solidify, and a minimum of five hours to complete, Lin Chen's quick return only suggested one possibility, that the alchemy was a failure.

"Looks like it's a failure, huh?" Miao Tianlun said with a shake of his head.

The other elders began to mock: "He really overestimated himself. Could someone like him really craft a Heavenly Origin Pill?"

"Our Family Head trusted him so much, and now all the ingredients are wasted. This fellow has crushed the last hope for our young lady's recovery."

Miao Tianlun managed a forced smile: "Mr. Lin, it's okay, if it's a failure, it's Weiwei's fate!"

Hearing Miao Tianlun's words, Lin Chen smiled faintly: "Miao Senior, when did I say that my pill refinement was a failure?"

"What? You managed to refine the Heavenly Origin Pill?" Miao Tianlun was first stunned, then joy spread across his face.

"You refined it?"

The faces of the other elders showed scorn.

"Young man, don't think we're ignorant. The Heavenly Origin Pill takes at least five hours from extraction to solidifying the pill. You were in there for only two hours and claim to have refined the Heavenly Origin Pill? What a joke," the Chief Elder scoffed.

The others also let out sneering laughs.

Lin Chen did not argue but simply flipped his hand and presented the Heavenly Origin Pill.

Miao Tianlun excitedly approached, but when he saw the Heavenly Origin Pill in Lin Chen's hand, the joy on his face vanished without a trace.

At that moment, the great elder sneered, "Lin Chen, have you got it wrong? The Heavenly Origin Pill should be red, but what garbage is that in your hand? It's green. You just brought out some random pill to fool us; do you really think you can deceive the people of our Miao family that easily?"

Upon hearing the great elder's words, Lin Chen raised an eyebrow, "Who said the Heavenly Origin Pill must be red?"

Then, Miao Tianlun picked up the Heavenly Origin Pill and scrutinized it carefully for a moment.

The pill was the size of a thumb, a layer of faint spiritual energy swirling around it, and its fragrance was refreshingly intense when sniffed.

"Second elder, please take a look at this pill and see if it is the Heavenly Origin Pill."

Miao Tianlun handed the pill to an old man, who was the only mid-level pharmacist in the Miao family other than the Family Head.

The second elder took the pill, sniffed it, and examined it closely for a moment, still looking puzzled in the end.

"How is it, second elder? Is it the Heavenly Origin Pill?" Miao Tianlun asked anxiously.

The second elder nodded and said, "This pill has spiritual energy around it; it is undoubtedly a high-grade medicinal pill. However, its scent is very similar to that of the Heavenly Origin Pill, yet slightly different, and the color of the pill is also slightly off."

Suddenly, the second elder's gaze sharpened as if he had remembered something, "Mr. Lin, did you add any other herbs to the Heavenly Origin Pill?"

Lin Chen nodded, "That's right. Considering that the girl has been bedridden for over a year, her muscles must have atrophied, and she surely lacks vitality. Therefore, I added a stalk of Resurrection Grass to the Heavenly Origin Pill."

"What, you actually altered the formula and modified the Heavenly Origin Pill!" Shock crossed the second elder's face.

It was known that the formula for the Heavenly Origin Pill was an inheritance from ancient medicinal texts; even the slightest mistake could lead to a chain reaction caused by a difference in medicinal ingredients, resulting in the failure of alchemy. Yet, Lin Chen not only added other medicines but also managed to successfully concoct the pill, which was nothing short of a miracle.

"What, is this an improved version of the Heavenly Origin Pill?" Miao Tianlun's face lit up with joy.

The second elder nodded, "Family Head, this pill is indeed an enhanced version of the Heavenly Origin Pill. It can not only detoxify the young miss but also help her recover to her optimal state in the shortest amount of time. It's practically a divine work."

"What, second elder, you couldn't have misidentified it, right?" The great elder looked utterly baffled at the second elder.

"Misidentified? How could that be possible? Although my alchemy skills are mediocre, my pill identification skills are top-notch. Congratulations, Family Head, the young miss is saved," the second elder exclaimed excitedly.

At this moment, all the disdain that had filled everyone's eyes vanished, and they looked at Lin Chen with respect.

In Huaxia, pharmacists held an extremely high status and position, let alone a high-level pharmacist like Lin Chen.

Miao Tianlun, thrilled, took the pill and walked toward Miao Weiwei's chamber.

At this moment, Miao Weiwei lying on the sickbed barely clung to life, her vitality almost gone.

Miao Tianlun hurriedly placed the pill into Miao Weiwei's mouth and helped her swallow it with a cup of warm water.

No sooner had the pill entered her mouth than Miao Weiwei's pallid face, marked with a dark aura, began to regain a healthy flush, and the visible dark energy on her arms and legs began to fade away. What was even more astonishing was the return of elasticity to her previously withered skin.

Suddenly, Miao Weiwei, who had been in a coma, opened her eyes and, amidst violent coughing, sat up.

"Quickly, bring over a basin," Lin Chen ordered urgently.

As Miao Weiwei vomited, black liquid streamed out of her.

"Indeed, it works!" Happiness showed on the faces of the Miao family members as they looked at Lin Chen with gratitude and awe.
