New concept of the mysterious way to ascend to immortality

Chapter 152 My First Half of Life, the Anti-Law Medicine King?

After assigning one miscellaneous task after another to the corresponding miscellaneous characters whose attributes matched, Yuan Zhu called out to the little miscellaneous character who worked at the pharmacy and continued to delve deeper into the industry.

He has been very interested in the pharmaceutical industry from the very beginning.

If you ask what caused this idea, it's probably because in his hazy, faded memories of his past life (Earth), he studied a related major when he was in university.

Memories of my origins have faded and become blurred by the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture. But my learning experiences and knowledge from elementary school to university have not been erased much.

Therefore, the mere mention of the word 'medicine' instantly brought back the terrifying time he spent working in a 'veterinary drug factory' after graduation. How could he easily discard the culmination of years of hard work and the painful experiences of his subsequent years of labor? It was like a haunting nightmare.

That's why, after descending into the underground world, meeting the two siblings, invading the Insect City to accumulate resources, and officially establishing the Pastoral Village, he became particularly interested in the Corpse Species and Alchemy techniques mentioned by the little girl.

Beyond the main quest of raising caterpillars, he intentionally transformed [Pastoral Village] into a breeding base for spiritual herbs and a center for refining elixirs. This choice was perhaps driven by his subconscious.

...

At this moment, the vague memories of my past life gradually became clearer.

The year he graduated from his hometown, the industry competition was fierce. He was unemployed right after graduation, his major didn't match his job, and newcomers had no advantage. To earn a meager wage to make ends meet, he and two classmates had to mistakenly work at a local 'veterinary drug factory,' a small-scale factory with low wages, but at least they could earn some money.

But soon, his skills were completely wasted, and the company assigned him to go deep into the countryside to use his "professional" advantage to trick villagers into buying the company's substandard veterinary drugs.

Wow, that was fast! To promote his own products, he was forced to temporarily fill in as a veterinarian with zero experience and no prior knowledge. He was persuaded by his fellow villagers to demonstrate the effects of his products, making clay figurines of cows, horses, pigs, and sheep.

Did he sell the medicine or not? He couldn't remember. In any case, he seemed to have developed a strange and unusual talent.

Then, the memories jumped around rapidly. After accumulating a wealth of practical experience, the company also seized the opportunity to go global, choosing to expand and setting its sights on the vast untapped overseas veterinary drug market.

So, this man, skilled in both literature and martial arts, and his friends were sent to underdeveloped countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, becoming transnational veterinary drug traffickers. While instructing local 'pharmaceutical factories (workshops)' on drug production, he also rolled up his sleeves and waded through manure piles to prepare fried pigs, beef, and sheep for his foreign compatriots…

Then his memories accelerated again. After skipping over a series of bizarre encounters, his life as a veterinary drug dealer smoothly connected with the local gray market, evolving from stabbing cattle to stabbing people... The thrilling life of rampant gun violence and constant fear overtaxed his mental state.

He eventually resigned early, went home and gave up, became despondent, and enjoyed a life of leisure, spending his days petting cats.

It was this 'memory restoration technique' that lasted for several years that made Yuan Zhu's body tremble, and his eyes began to shine, as if he had discovered a blue ocean?
A surge of urge rose within him to use all the skills he had learned on Earth to make a name for himself in the otherworld of Duling and leave his mark on history.

This is probably the driving force behind the crazy antics of Earth's fellow travelers (time travelers) throughout history, who have been trying to rewrite human history in different dynasties.
So he bombarded the underling with several questions. Upon hearing the underling's answers, his newly ignited enthusiasm and impulse were instantly extinguished.

...

The classical medicine transmitted by Du Ling is indeed in line with traditional Chinese medicine. However, it is by no means backward; on the contrary, it has been continuously innovated and improved through the summarization of physicians throughout the ages.

Even disregarding the super-model aspects of the Kunlun System's Immortal Elixir Method, the classical medicine practiced by ordinary people has now achieved scientific, standardized, and industrialized improvements.

Whether it's the 'sealed medicine liquid' that's been decocted, the 'bottled pills' produced by mechanical assembly lines, or the 'classic herbal medicine packs' with completely standardized weights of medicinal materials, all of them are mass-produced in a standardized manner and placed on the counters of pharmacies, waiting for patients to buy them directly.

The kind of personalized prescription where a thousand people have a thousand different remedies, adjusting the proportions of herbs according to the individual patient's pulse, and tailoring the medicine to their specific needs—that's the expensive and luxurious "classical expert consultation," something the poor can't afford.

The "magic potions" of the Eastern world have also undergone a similar transformation. Therefore, Yuan Zhu's idea of ​​a small workshop to try to reduce costs and increase efficiency in 'veterinary drug production processes' is completely useless.

The things he could think of had already been accomplished by previous generations of time travelers who seized the opportunity of the 'Second Extraordinary Industrial Revolution'.

What kind of veterinary drug is used as human medicine? Do you think no one would try it, given that the moral bottom line of the Duling is even lower?

When one plan failed, Yuan Zhu immediately came up with a new treacherous scheme.

But before trying, we still need to find out about 'Running'. According to the memories of its predecessor, over the past 10 years, Running has successively relocated many pharmaceutical companies and set up laboratories of all sizes to conduct research and development on special drugs.

Among them were traditional elixirs and Eastern 'magic potion trials,' and their influence gradually seeped into the underground fighting scene. He had heard other professional underground fighters mention it while receiving massages at a familiar underground clinic, but he hadn't paid much attention to it.

However, over the years, these 'medical research institutes' have not improved the lives of ordinary people much, and there has been no news of any effective drugs being released into the market.

Now that he has come into contact with the extraordinary system, he vaguely realizes that the 'tentacles' of these research institutions must have reached into a deeper level of the 'spirit realm,' which is why their presence has always been weak.

Competition in the mortal realm for pharmaceuticals is a dead end. But if the competition were to shift to the "transcendent realm," his mortal veterinary medicines would likely perish even faster; this path would also be unworkable.

In an instant, a certain idea quickly took shape in his mind, almost ready to be expressed, but it was just a little short of breaking through the final barrier, making him feel very awkward and uncomfortable.

"Where is the key point?"

Little Spicy Strip: "Boss, the veterinary drugs in your head can't beat local pharmaceutical companies because there's no market and no competitiveness. If you want to replicate your past life's experience and make money by mass-producing cheap veterinary drugs, all you need to do is discover a new, untapped market, bypass local competitors, and achieve a monopoly. Like the underworld?"

"Yes! That's it!"

A sudden inspiration struck him. He realized that in a city where the medical industry was booming, returning to his old profession and choosing to devote himself to the field of medicine, using the scientific research capabilities of the Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture to replicate and reproduce the medical knowledge from his past life's memories, might be a good choice.

He couldn't possibly openly and legitimately promote the "Shadow System" as a business gimmick.

Even Mao Mao Wang relies on luxury children's clothing, and Zhui Meng Lou is a chain hotel and catering and entertainment group. So, I can take this opportunity to package Xin Bai Ling (Tai Xi Chamber of Commerce) as a pharmaceutical (veterinary drug) company, produce cheap veterinary drugs at cost price, and then sell them to the Underground Insect City.

Since I'm not competitive in the real world, I'll sell my stuff in the backward underworld.

I run a pharmaceutical factory in Running, producing cheap veterinary drugs to sell to the residents of Insect City and making a profit from the price difference. I also run the "Mao's Insect Pastoral Village" in Insect City, selling cheap raw materials to Mao Mao King and making another profit. I also buy cheap "extraordinary medicinal materials" from Insect City, grow spiritual herbs in the Pastoral Village, bring them back to the pharmaceutical factory in Running, develop higher-level "magic potions and pills," and sell them to local extraordinary individuals who need them, or sell them into the [Spirit Realm].

Yes, it's a closed loop!
As for the lack of competitiveness of [veterinary drugs], this can be completely solved by the [Great Wilderness Immortal Scripture]. Precisely because they lack competitiveness, the [chemically synthesized drugs] market is a blue ocean, which can serve as a carrier for 'polluting energy' and evolve into 'polluting veterinary drugs' with extraordinary properties!
Because Running is located on the west coast, they can turn their products into their own original "Western medicine"! Even if they still lack competitiveness, they can sell domestically and then export them to more "bubble worlds" where there are no competitors, and bully the backward locals.

Perfect! [Anti-Law King], a very respectable track.

… Seeing the cult leader deep in thought, the lowly fry who had been called to his side for questioning waited silently, his expression hesitant, opening his mouth several times but not daring to interrupt his thoughts.

Having sorted out his thoughts, Yuan Zhu opened his eyes and looked at the other person: "What do you want to say?"

"Master, it's like this. Do you still have any of the [Blood Eggplant] you distributed last time? Although I don't have enough contribution points, I can buy it with cash, or exchange it with more medicinal herbs and pills."

Yuan Zhu certainly didn't lack Blood Eggplants. He had accumulated a huge pile of them in the exchange area of ​​[Happy Home], and they were quite cheap. Before he returned, he even saw Number 3 feeding the mascot goat with Blood Eggplants.

"Oh? What do you need the blood tomato for?"

The follower hesitated, "Do we have to say it?"

Yuan Zhu shook his head: "I'm not forcing you, I'm just a little curious. If you're willing to tell me, I can give you a discount."

"Actually, it's nothing. I work at a pharmacy and am acquainted with a quack doctor who works for an underground boxing gym. After I got the Blood Tomato last time, I wasn't very trusting of it, so I took it to my friend's underground clinic. There, I happened to meet a boxer who was seriously injured and almost crippled. I decided to give it a try, so I got him to sign a contract and fed him the Blood Tomato."

"As a result, he recovered very quickly. According to his recollection afterward, he did not experience any obvious side effects. In fact, this fruit even helped him cross the threshold of the 'extraordinary system' that he had been unable to enter, and his progress was rapid. Not only did he win twice in a row and give me half of the profits, but he also wanted to order more 'blood tomatoes'."

Yuan Zhu: "Underground combat, huh? The 'Blood Eggplant' is indeed a game-changer, incredibly effective against mortals. You can also try feeding the 'elixir' I gave you this time to the opponent. This stuff can cleanse the marrow, transform the body, and change one's constitution, making it even more effective."

The miscellaneous fish shook his head firmly and said, "No, this pill is precious, I will keep it for myself!"

"You don't doubt me this time?"

The miscellaneous fish said firmly, "I have complete trust in you, Master! In fact, even the [Blood Eggplant] is perfectly fine, as Ms. Mei has already proven. It's just that I had too many thoughts and concerns back then."

"I can sell you blood tomatoes, 10 at a time, with the price reduced based on your performance in this mission. By the way, which school of boxer did you mention?"

These days, is the threshold for the extraordinary system so low? A single Blood Eggplant is enough to enter? What kind of unparalleled genius is that? What about all the hard work I put into imprinting my Holy Mark?
After a brief recollection, Zayu replied, "I think it's the [Path of Power], which requires purchasing [Body Tempering Fluid] from [Rain Academy] for assistance. In the underground fighting circle, 80% of fighters choose this path, and [Body Tempering Fluid] is always in short supply."

"Hmm? I think I've heard of that before."

His predecessor had fought in amateur peripheral matches, which were considered low-level, atmosphere-based matches compared to the truly bloody underground boxing. He had no intention of delving deeper into this industry and had never come into contact with the highly toxic "Body Tempering Fluid," only having heard of it; it was quite expensive, and he wasn't qualified to buy it.

But now, looking back, he suddenly remembered when his senior introduced him to the extraordinary systems of the Rain Academy, there was a "Frog School." This system didn't bother with anything fancy; it was all about one word: "Reckless!"

Miracles happen with great force. Physical immortality is achieved, proving the Dao through strength! Simple, brutal, and highly efficient; at the highest levels of cultivation, the physical body becomes invincible, capable of crushing pollution with bare hands, impervious to all laws, and able to withstand the karmic consequences of killing. This perfectly aligns with the description of the "Great Dao of Strength."

The [Body Tempering Fluid] is highly suspected to be a product of the [Frog School]. Meanwhile, the Running Frog population is rampant, even more numerous than rats. The [Frog School] of Yuyuan has produced related products, which have entered the underground fighting game community, selecting and cultivating a potential user market.

So it's the [Labour Road]! It's completely different from the noble [Holy Light System], so I won't be angry anymore.

He felt he could pick up his part-time job as an 'underground boxer' again, but in a different role—not as a boxer, but as an organizer.

After returning to Running, you can take some time to visit the underground boxing boss who once valued you and see if you can cooperate.
【Blood Eggplant + Body Tempering Fluid】Train a group of performative match-fixing contestants, write scripts and rehearse in advance, create character designs in the WWE style, and stage 'extraordinary. Hot-blooded match-fixing'.

After making a name for themselves, they'll replicate the "underground fitness model." They'll have them endorse "medicines + supplements" for "Taixi-63," creating extraordinary Kowloon Warriors to dominate the fitness market.

Gradually replace the Tempering Fluid with the Extraordinary Potion and return to the pharmaceutical field.

Whether it's feasible or not, you can find out by consulting with a senior student. This "Frog School + Body Tempering Fluid" – isn't it somehow a medical research institution?
……

After the enjoyable 'Dream Team Building' event, Yuan Zhu was certain that at least two-thirds of the 24 people present were interested, actively approaching him, accepting tasks, and looking forward to the [New White Feather].

The remaining third dispelled their doubts, distrust, and thoughts of escaping, and instead adopted a neutral and wait-and-see attitude, waiting to take advantage of the next team building activity.

At noon, Yuan Zhu ended his journey in the Dreamland, leaving the followers to enjoy themselves in the Dream Chasing Tower. He returned to the mortal world first; he had too many questions to answer and needed to go to the Rain Courtyard.

Just as he opened his eyes and sat up in bed, the 'mouse' in the backpack next to him went berserk, jumping up and down in the bag and making urgent 'squeak squeak squeak' noises.

"What the hell is going on?"

The spicy snack replied directly: "You have a missed call, it is being called. It has been dialed 3 times in a row... It is Lü Rang."

"Uh?"

Yuan Zhu paused for a moment, then remembered the [Pipe Wrench Sword Immortal] who had stayed in Runing to diligently cultivate and hone his swordsmanship. The other party possessed the [Happy Home] dial mouse, was in the same city, and could log into [Happy Home] at any time to check on the mission progress.

So, he wanted to see me for something?

"Connect me."

"Okay!"

Little Spicy Strip manipulates the mouse to open the backpack from the inside, quickly darts to Yuan Zhu's side, actively pulls out the antenna on its head, shakes its head to search for the location of the other 'mouse', and finally connects.

"Brother Yuan? Brother Yuan! Is that you? You're back!"

"Just woke up."

"Great! Do you have time? Come out quickly, I need to see you!"

Is something urgent?

"The goblins you requested are almost sold out!"
