Chapter 798 An Unintentional Act Leads to a Success! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Wu Aiguo recently discovered that the Five Old Peaks Secret Realm has become his shackles.

Because no one else can enter, he has to go there regularly to collect the spiritual spring water.

You can't exactly carry around a huge water vat, can you? At most, you'd use a plastic bucket like the ones used for brewing wine at home in the countryside, the largest of which wouldn't exceed twenty pounds.

Even so, Wu Aiguo was kept extremely busy.

The twenty catties of spiritual spring water must be used up completely within ten days.

Simply making the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill requires tens of thousands of pills!
Even with other pills to alleviate the pressure, Wu Aiguo felt that he had gone too far.

Do you really think everyone else is stupid?
Especially back in 1986, when you still needed ration coupons to buy things.

Large-scale procurement of medicinal materials can easily attract the attention of government agencies.

That's why he only prepares a complete tonic pill about once every three months, along with other pills with significant effects.

The most urgent task is to find a container that can preserve the effectiveness of the spiritual spring water for a long time.

Clearly, the porcelain, glass bottles, and earthenware jars from outside were all unsuitable; it seemed as if some crucial element was missing.

In the end, they could only turn their attention to the resources found in the secret realm.

Not long ago, while patrolling the mountains and forests, he found a gourd vine with several small gourds hanging on it.

Wu Aiguo waited for the little gourd to grow up to see if it would have the effect of preserving the quality of the spiritual spring water.

We can't exactly ask him to use a stone jar to store water, can we?
Even if he doesn't care about what others think, it's still not very practical.

In fact, the small Taoist temple in the secret realm taught him a lot of things.

Inside, there was a Taoist priest who had passed away in a hurry.

This person not only left behind information on the jade slip, but also the cultivation techniques passed down through their lineage.

The Taoist priest who passed away peacefully was the abbot of Chunyang Temple on Mount Lu, belonging to the hidden lineage of Taoism.

That is, during the Republic of China period and the War of Resistance against Japan, a large number of foreign supernatural forces invaded.

In particular, the extraordinary power of the Little Days side is so rampant that it seems to have uprooted the very foundation of Chinese cultivation.

Since the Manchus entered the Central Plains, the Buddhist and Taoist sects, as well as martial arts, have declined significantly.

Faced with the extraordinary power from outside, the Buddhist and Taoist sects in the Central Plains, as well as the newly emerging martial arts school, rose up to fight back.

In short, the intensity of the battle was quite exaggerated.

Many easily accessible secret realms were directly destroyed.

The Central Plains saw the fall of many Buddhist and Taoist masters, as well as numerous martial arts experts.

Many Buddhist and Taoist traditions were cut off when their successors died in battle.

Extraordinary forces like Chunyang Temple on Mount Lu, which possess secret realms, are able to leave behind their complete heritage.

Although they managed to drive away the foreign enemies in the end, the cultivation forces of Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains were fundamentally damaged.

The secret realm of Chunyang Temple on Mount Lu has been preserved precisely because of its extremely high entry and exit requirements.

Unfortunately, the Chunyang Temple lineage does not have the means of using a medium to store things, meaning there is no such thing as a storage artifact.

Otherwise, Wu Aiguo wouldn't have such a headache.

Fortunately, his special status prevented him from attracting any trouble.

Don't be fooled by the impressive-sounding name of the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill"; each pill weighs less than two grams, it's really tiny.

He didn't keep much of it to himself; aside from using the spiritual spring water, the recipe for the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill had already spread far and wide. If one had fifty-year-old ginseng, the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill made from it would have almost the same effect as the one made by Wu Aiguo himself, diluted ten times with spiritual spring water.

Similarly, while the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill" wasn't exactly ubiquitous in the county, it wasn't exactly a rare commodity either.

As for the dishes prepared by Wu Aiguo, their exceptionally good results can be explained by the high-quality ingredients used.

Of course, he also secretly released a batch of them.

Otherwise, why has the strength of martial artists in the county generally improved significantly?

That's clearly not enough!

After reading the last words of the Taoist priest who had passed away at Chunyang Temple in the secret realm, Wu Aiguo felt a sense of solemnity.

Nobody knows if the supernatural forces from abroad will continue their rampage.
By then, will there be enough extraordinary masters in the country, both in number and quality, to fight against him?
But it's impossible for him to really lift the restrictions and provide high-quality, all-around tonic pills, as well as good stuff from the Five Old Peaks Secret Realm, to the outside world.

He was certain that in the end, the vast majority of good things would not end up in the hands of those who truly needed them.

In fact, Wu Aiguo was also quite troubled by this.

It would be best if the relationship with one's biological parents and siblings wasn't too bad.

Even better if the clan could help.

Right now, all he can do is focus on nurturing the three adopted children, hoping that when they come of age, they will be strong enough to enter the secret realm.

Cough cough, Comrade Shen Ying is also taking the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill, and her physique is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Unfortunately, she had no interest in practicing martial arts.

If it weren't for Wu Aiguo's insistence that she practice the Cotton Palm technique to improve her physical fitness and maintain a healthy figure, she probably would have forgotten about it long ago.

As for my father-in-law and mother-in-law, they would give me three to five pills every now and then, but they would never give me more than that.

After the elderly couple took it orally, they naturally realized it was a rare and valuable product.

They didn't ask for more, but when it came to giving gifts during holidays, they repeatedly said that giving them the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill" would be fine, and they really didn't care about anything else.

This left Wu Aiguo both amused and exasperated, but he still gave him a few extra pills.

No one expected that something like the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill" would become a rather outstanding "specialty" of the county.

Not to mention the stuff that Wu Aiguo personally concocted, even the stuff made by martial arts practitioners and medical clinics is very good for the body.

Ahem, the prescription that was spread out was developed by Wu Aiguo based on the county's environment and the local medicinal herbs.

In the county, the best results can be achieved by using materials collected in the countryside and processed with local water.

Even Wu Aiguo, the instigator, never expected that he would actually develop the county's traditional Chinese medicine industry by relying on the Shi Quan Da Bu Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine supplement).

Of course, relying solely on the "Ten-Ingredient Tonic" alone is absolutely not enough to support an entire industry.

Seeing this, Wu Aiguo put some thought into creating many nourishing medicinal diet recipes based on the county's environment and various products.

This was child's play for him.

However, the county's traditional Chinese medicine industry has gradually gained momentum and become increasingly well-known.

It even attracted small-time businessmen who wanted to buy all the relevant prescriptions, offering quite generous prices.

The news caused an uproar throughout the county.

It should be noted that Wu Aiguo has created many nourishing medicinal diet recipes based on the local environment and specialties, all of which are marketed as ancient formulas.

Now that it has attracted small business owners to buy it, how could it not cause a sensation?
Then, before the county could react, leaders from the provincial commerce system rushed over and sold all the prescriptions.
