CHAPTER 113: Imperial Alchemy Tournament
.
In the residence of the Yan family, in a medium-sized room, two people were present: one comfortably seated and the other standing near a cauldron no taller than a meter.
Neither spoke, and the only sound was the crackling of the fire beneath the cauldron.
The room, made of sturdy wooden walls, was sparsely decorated, with only a few cabinets and shelves holding various objects and ingredients, each in its own container.
The aroma of different herbs and substances that should have permeated the air was contained within each vessel, even if they were open.
The two continued in silence.
The seated figure was an elderly man with a long beard and white hair, watching the girl before him, who was busy refining, with a calm but attentive gaze.
This elderly man was none other than Yan Qingshui, the grandfather of Yan Mei and one of the esteemed alchemists of the Medicine Pavilion.
