After Apocalypse, I Got Rich With Superpower

Li Pan and Yan Jiajia had a private chat for a good while, while the others waited in the living room.

In the end, Yan Jiajia personally saw her guest out, holding her hand with obvious reluctance, "Meeting you is my good fortune, and I’ll definitely visit your farm when I have the chance."

"Sure, I’ve brought some fruits and snacks for you, as a gift from my farm, they are very clean."

Li Pan waved her hand, leaving behind various items like fruit, cheese, and milk powder, two or three boxes worth, as a return gift.

"I won’t stand on ceremony with you, but you need to be careful at the lab, don’t make any promises lightly, and if they ask you sensitive questions, just play it off with a laugh. If you’re unsure about anything, ask the Wang Family people."

"I’ll keep that in mind, and you should take care to exercise."

"Alright."

With that, they finally left her house.

Once they were in the car, Xue Dong curiously asked Li Pan, "What were you two talking about for so long?"

"We exchanged contact information. She harbors some grievances against the noble families. She also gifted me some precious Spirit Seeds and her notes. She’s quite forthright."

"Yan Jiajia comes from an ordinary background, and was raised by the head of the medical bureau. She isn’t like the noble families, and has been troubled by them often, facing a lot of pressure. She’s not free to do as she pleases and struggles to survive in the gaps of society."

"No wonder she said she was taken down by someone’s scheme this time."

"Yes, and it’s because of her that some noble family’s sons were cleaned out by the higher-ups. This confrontation will continue for a while, and if they hadn’t been so excessive, we wouldn’t have found a breakthrough. They control the Medicine resources, giving them a lot of leverage."

"Right, if it weren’t for your impressive efforts, we wouldn’t know how much harder our situation would be. We might as well have gone to the front lines to fight; at least we could die as martyrs rather than suffocating behind the scenes. Sister Pan’er, I also have to thank you — I ate the Spirit Fruit that my uncle brought back from you, and without your help, I probably would’ve been doomed."

Remembering her own experiences, the young lady from the Wang Family had tears welling up in her eyes.

"I had no idea you all were facing even greater difficulties than I."

"It’s the same for everyone; wherever people gather, there’s conflict over valuable resources, striving to get them into one’s own hands — it’s inevitable. What’s hateful is that they don’t take the lives of ordinary residents seriously. The production of Medicine is in their control, making it hard for us to break through."

Medicine, like Elixirs, holds a secret to power — whoever knows how to make them holds the initiative.

In the age of disaster, everyone needs these substances, just as important as food; warriors are waiting for them to save their lives.

That was why the Base Commander was cultivating Li Pan — to find more breakthroughs and not be perennially choked by limitations.

These noble families are tougher to deal with than the rich, as they have more authority and thus more complications.

Listening to them talk about the affairs of the imperial capital, Li Pan felt that her own little courtyard was quite pleasant by comparison — there’s no contentment without contrast.

Being strong oneself is the real foundation; she needed to go back and study more Mid-High Level Potions, to take control and fear no one.

Upon returning to the Wang Family, Li Pan planted the seeds given by Yan Jiajia in a pot and placed them in her space.

The next day, she was to visit the potion lab for a chance to observe the refining of High-level Potions. In exchange and as terms, the other party would also make several High-level Potions that Li Pan didn’t know how to make as a reciprocal learning opportunity.

The High-level Potions Li Pan knew were extremely important and indispensable.

She held the initiative.

For several days, she was in the potion lab, refining potions. The finished potions couldn’t be taken away and had to be left for the potion lab, as they were produced from materials provided by others, who had already been compensated.

This exchange only allowed for observation and prohibited recording; one’s ability to learn depended on personal skill.

But what the pharmacists of the Emperor City Alchemist did not anticipate was that Li Pan, after only a few observations, managed to refine High-level Potions of excellent quality, covering all Five Elements.

This caused several of the noble family’s sons in the potion lab to look quite displeased. According to the rules, they had to refine all the High-level Potions they knew in front of Li Pan for her to observe, and she had to let them observe as she refined hers.

Yan Jiajia was also refining potions in the lab and, seeing this situation, was overjoyed to the point of laughing crookedly.

The following few days weren’t so smooth; some noble family’s sons kept requesting leaves of absence and delaying their part, not giving Li Pan the opportunity to learn the remaining potions.

However, for the few potions that Yan Jiajia knew, she deliberately refined them several times for Pan’er. Li Pan had already learned to refine high-level potions; it was just a matter of unfamiliarity. With the medicinal materials wasted no more than three times, she was able to produce superior high-level potions and found the true method.

The noble family had no choice but to take them to the laboratory.

Ultimately, Li Pan toured the laboratory and stayed there to study for five days, exchanging many spirit plants, medicinal materials, and plants.

In addition to the several types they agreed to discuss for free, they also spent money to buy quite a few spiritual wood and spiritual plants as well as medicinal materials. She spent all the ten million she had earned and the eight million used for treatment, without leaving a single cent.

In total, she exchanged nearly two hundred types of plants, leaving the laboratory staff with rather unsightly expressions; the majority of the important ones had been exchanged away.

Li Pan was in high spirits. The Base Commander said that they would "fleece one last time" before departing. Following the Wang Family into the forest to hunt would allow her to obtain more spirit plants and crystal cores. This time, they only arranged for the Wang Family and ordinary soldiers, without the inclusion of other noble families.

The hunting expedition was an opportunity funded by the Wang Family themselves, purely to get more spirit plants for Li Pan.

Before entering the forest, Li Pan went to see Yan Jiajia for fun.

Previously, with the help of the Wang Family, she had purchased three sets of the latest potion room equipment and some essential tools and bottles to take back to her own farm.

"Jiajia, I’m here."

"Come on in. I’m making something delicious."

Jiajia poked her head out of the house to call out to her.

"What are you doing?"

"Making some treats. We’ll eat them together in a bit."

"I came to have you record me refining potions."

To repay Jiajia for the help in the potion room, Li Pan had learned all the high-level potions. She was here this time to teach her, explaining the key points to Jiajia.

"No recording, I’ll follow and learn at my own pace, as much as I can. Recording could bring trouble."

Jiajia sighed.

"Alright then, let’s make the most of our time."

"Okay."

Li Pan stayed with Jiajia for two days, personally teaching her how to refine different high-level potions, how to find the pathways for communication and fusion, and shared her experiences with Jiajia without holding anything back.

Although she hadn’t mastered everything, Jiajia committed it all to memory.

Li Pan left two samples of each high-level potion she had refined with Jiajia as a trump card; the rest were given to the Wang Family, since they had provided the medicinal materials for her practice.

Two days later, Li Pan was about to go to the forest with the Wang Family. Jiajia personally saw her off.

"Be careful in the forest and don’t be alone on the way back to the city. Make sure you have someone with you."

"I will remember that. I’ll call you when I get back, and we’ll keep in touch."

"Good. Rest assured, I’ve remembered everything you taught me. I’ll practice more when I have time."

Jiajia waved goodbye to her.

Li Pan followed Dong Gaowenbin and the Wang Family people into the forest, which was a small secret realm with mutant plants and mutant animals.

It was very dangerous, but it also contained many treasures – it depended on your ability to acquire these valuable items.

Seeing Li Pan’s impressive abilities, Mr. Wang specially arranged for the most outstanding descendants of the Wang Family to protect her and help her obtain more spiritual plants and medicine to bring back, whether to be made into potions or for cultivation. This was beneficial for the Wang Family, the ordinary residents, and the subsequent development.

The thinking within noble families and their structures are different; there’s always a group of people willing to hold the line and not forget their original intentions.
