Chapter 719: Chapter 385: Every Pill Is the Masterpiece of a Civilization and an Era_2

This Lotus Fragrance Pill requires sixty thousand types, although it’s exaggerated, it’s somewhat understandable.

But in the Fox Mountain warehouse, over the years, the accumulated herbs total just over forty-five thousand types...

He went to look through the earlier documents to confirm...

"Is this said to be the most basic kind of elixir pill? Am I seeing this right?"

...

In the Bronze Hall, cold wind blew, and the lamps swayed.

A group of apprentices stood by the bedside, respectfully looking at the thin old man sitting on the bed.

It was none other than the Ancient Immortal Ma Liu, who had awakened!

At this moment, none of the apprentices dared to speak, lift their heads, or even raise their eyelids.

The Ancient Immortal Ma Liu glared, sitting on the bed, looked at his left hand, then his right, rubbed his forehead, full of bewilderment.

"This time I went to Douluo Heaven, and my memory there... was erased?"

What he didn’t tell the disciples was that his knowledge container was also gone!

The alchemy furnace he had been displeased with had also disappeared!

By now, all his cultivation in Sequence Six and Sequence Five was wasted.

He sighed and looked at Jiao Su.

"How is our plan in the present world progressing?

"Is it going smoothly?"

Jiao Su was silent for a moment, his voice trembling.

"Master... that... that, it might not be going too well...

"Our plan regarding the Blood-Drinking Red Flower is now untenable..."

The Ancient Immortal did not interrupt, and Jiao Su continued, speaking of the dispute with Bai Mo, Bai Mo’s paper, and Bai Mo’s development of the Snow Lotus Qi Boosting Soup.

"... He, without using Desert Valley Snow Clam, managed to concoct the Qi Boosting Soup, Master, do you think this is normal? Is there such a theory?"

The Ancient Immortal Ma Liu furrowed his brows, intending to ponder deeply, but suddenly realized he had lost all memory regarding Snow Clam and Snow Lotus.

Indeed, his knowledge container had been severed, and naturally, the knowledge was gone too.

"Continue."

Jiao Su dared not ask more, and continued to narrate.

"Bai Mo proved he was right, his theory is sound, which makes our plan problematic... as it stands, it hasn’t been explicitly vetoed, but the attitude from Shangjing is somewhat ambiguous... um..."

The Ancient Immortal fetched a small black pill from his pocket, peeled off the black wax seal, revealing an elixir pill with mottled yellow and black patterns inside.

"Take this and use it.

"This is a Tiger Power Pill.

"Soak it in water, a liter, for a day, and drinking it can increase one’s strength by a tiger’s force.

"Each person can only consume it once; more would build resistance.

"Take it and find a way to manipulate it to prove the Blood-Drinking Red Flower isn’t problematic."

Jiao Su immediately extended both hands to solemnly receive the Tiger Power Pill.

When he received it, he discovered that the yellow-black pattern on the pill’s surface was actually tiny, fluffy hairs, just like tiger skin!

"Master, how many times can it be soaked?"

The Ancient Immortal laughed.

"Infinitely.

"This isn’t an ordinary soup medicine, this is an elixir!

"It is crafted from countless herbs, refining life and death, reviving the dead, and activated with Primordial Immortal Qi, the medicinal properties are continuous and ceaseless!"

In the Bronze Hall, all the senior and junior brothers directed their gaze to this pill.

"So powerful?"

"An eternal motion machine?"

"Unlimited refills?"

"Master, let’s make a few more of these things!"

The Ancient Immortal Ma Liu sneered.

"Dreaming?

"Don’t underestimate the elixir pills.

"Every elixir pill is the result of an era’s civilization exerting its utmost ability!

"This Tiger Power Pill was completed using the entire country’s strength over six hundred years, requiring ninety-eight thousand kinds of herbs, involving over thirty thousand origin regions, more than eight thousand intermediary processes, and finally six thousand intermediate products delivered to me, concocted into a pill in my furnace, activated with Primordial Immortal Qi.

"If the Dan Kingdom still existed with its countless herbal fields and workshops, it might still be possible to produce this elixir.

"But times have changed, the present world lacks such an abundance of herbs and Immortal Grass processing workshops.

"This elixir... has become a swan song."

Jiao Su and others looked at each other, hearing these numbers, feeling like their master was boasting.

But seeing their master’s expression, it was very serious and solemn, as if speaking the truth.

The nearby apprentice, Chen Dawang, suddenly spoke.

"Uh... Master, can we concoct some, well, the simplest elixirs?

"The simplest, the lowest grade, the worst quality, as long as it’s an elixir, that kind of elixir?"

The Ancient Immortal gave Chen Dawang a glance.

This disciple was a wastrel, entirely clueless about true immortality.

But in the present world, opening a factory had its value.

He pointed at the Tiger Power Pill in Jiao Su’s hand and explained.

"The kind you’re talking about, the lowest grade, simplest to concoct, worst quality, barely qualifying as an elixir... this Tiger Power Pill is it."

...

In the morning, Bai Mo sat in front of the computer, holding the little fox disciple Jujube Tea, watching the screen and the message from Professor Zhang.

[Expert Bai Mo, Shangjing has arranged a factory site for you right next to the Traitor’s Wine Factory, but much larger!]

[The workshop and office building are ready, only need a bit of renovation, what standard do you want?]

[Have you thought about the office equipment, laboratory equipment, production equipment, and storage equipment you need in the future?]

Bai Mo frowned.

This troublesome?

He could provide specific storage, production, and laboratory standards, but as for equipment procurement, he wasn’t sure.

Can someone come to help?

"Right, a factory this big, of course, I can’t handle it on my own.

"I need to hire people!"

Bai Mo positioned himself as a "hands-off landlord," not wanting to get entangled in these messy things.

As he was about to ask, he saw a message from Professor Zhang.

[Chairman Chen Shu said, your start-up isn’t easy, you can pick fifty people from the North Suburb Base]

Bai Mo broke into a smile.

Why didn’t you say so earlier!

"Professor Hong, Professor Fang, shall we bring them over first?

"Uh... would they be willing to come?"

This was a very serious question.

Over at the Immortal Committee, they were doing quite well; would they want to move to this newly established, grassroots pharmaceutical factory?

He frowned, hesitantly sending a message to Professor Hong.

[Are you interested in the new pharmaceutical factory?]

...

In the laboratory building of the Immortal Committee, a strange atmosphere prevailed.

Occasionally, people chatted quietly, whispered, or went to the corner to discuss something, their expressions peculiar.

"Have you heard, Expert Bai Mo’s pharmaceutical factory is going to pull fifty people from our North Suburb Base!"

"Do you want to go?"

"Of course, who wouldn’t?"

Everyone knew that a grassroots start-up pharmaceutical factory would certainly have a lot of work and would certainly be tiring.

But...

"That’s Expert Bai Mo’s factory, completely under his leadership!

"Following him, the projects, the resources, the future would be different!

"And the factory, I hear, has a high level; although it’s not as large as West State Immortal Committee, it’s on the same level!

The two doctoral students sighed.

"Yeah, this platform level is quite high!"

On the other side of the laboratory, two young associate professors whispered.

"These fifty spots, how will Expert Bai Mo allocate them?"

"This factory will definitely soar! The first fifty to go will definitely rise with it!"

"Fifty spots for a meteoric rise!"

"What, are you envious?"

"Haha, I wouldn’t dare. There are so many people at the North Suburb Base; what am I?"

...

In the laboratory, the chubby Professor Hong Anxi sat at his desk, holding his phone, hesitating repeatedly, wondering whether to message Expert Bai Mo.

"Can I get a spot to go there..."

In terms of seniority and capability, there were far more than fifty people at the North Suburb Base better than him!

But he communicated most with Expert Bai Mo, and they were the most familiar!

"If I shamelessly pleaded with Expert Bai Mo, with his thin skin, he might just agree... this..."

His students, one by one, had no heart for work, occasionally stealing glances over.

Suddenly, Professor Hong Anxi’s phone vibrated, startling him.

He unlocked the screen, surprised to see a message from Expert Bai Mo.

[Are you interested in the new pharmaceutical factory?]
