After the divorce, my identity as a miracle doctor was exposed.

A bizarre scene is unfolding in the kitchen of the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top.

On the million-dollar German-imported kitchen cabinet sits an old-fashioned stainless steel pressure cooker that you can buy for ninety-nine yuan on Pinduoduo.

At this moment, the pressure cooker was placed on a high flame, hissing and spewing out white steam.

Lin Yu stood in front of the stove like an old monk in meditation, not holding a spatula, but occasionally shooting invisible bursts of air into the pressure cooker to control the heat inside.

Su Qianxue, wearing an apron and holding a dishcloth, was huddled in the corner of the kitchen, pinching her nose with a look of disgust.

"vomit……"

An indescribable stench wafted from the pressure cooker's vent valve. It smelled like a mixture of stinky socks, rotten fish and shrimp, and old Chinese medicine that had been boiled together for three days and three nights.

"Lin Yu! What are you cooking? Are you trying to make this villa stink?"

Su Qianxue couldn't take it anymore. Fanning herself with her hand, she said, "President Liu let you stay here to enjoy life, not to cook shit here! If President Liu comes back, let's see how you explain this!"

Lin Yu didn't even turn his head, his eyes still fixed intently on the trembling pressure cooker:

"Merchant Su, watch your words. I'm crafting something that will drive mortals like you crazy for it."

"Frenzied looting? Are they rushing to their deaths?"

Su Qianxue rolled her eyes, her disdain growing. "Playing the trickster! How come I never noticed your potential as a charlatan before? You dare claim to be refining medicine with a broken pressure cooker? Do you think you're Laozi?"

In her view, Lin Yu's actions were nothing more than some kind of "superstitious activity" to please Liu Hongyan. She guessed he'd probably picked up some folk remedy from some yellowed cheap book at a street stall and was trying to make the rich woman happy.

"It seems that the ultimate swindler is a charlatan." Su Qianxue mentally labeled Lin Yu with a new tag.

Just then.

"puff!"

Suddenly, the pressure cooker's steam valve stopped spewing out foul-smelling white steam and instead emitted a wisp of bluish smoke.

next second.

The stench that had filled the kitchen vanished without a trace in an instant.

Instead, a refreshing and pleasant fragrance fills the air!

The fragrance is hard to describe; it's like a forest after the rain, or like blooming lilies, and even has a hint of sweet milky scent.

Just one sniff and Su Qianxue felt all her fatigue vanish, and even her head, which had been throbbing slightly from being caught in the rain the night before, instantly cleared up.

"What...what is this taste?"

Su Qianxue subconsciously lowered her hand that was pinching her nose and took two deep, greedy breaths.

"It smells so good..."

Lin Yu turned off the heat and opened the pressure cooker lid.

The pot, which was originally full of medicinal herbs, has now turned into a layer of thick, black, asphalt-like paste. Only in the very center are a few drops of crystal-clear, jade-green liquid.

"This is the mother liquid of Jade Skin Powder. When diluted a thousand times, it becomes the most premium skincare product on the market."

Lin Yu carefully collected the few drops of jade liquid in a small porcelain bottle.

As for the dark, paste-like substance left in the pot, that was the dregs and impurities from the medicine. Although it was impurities, in this world where spiritual energy was depleted, it was still a valuable thing for mortals.

"Alright, throw out the trash in the pot, and remember to clean it thoroughly."

Lin Yu took the small porcelain bottle and turned to leave the kitchen. "I'm going to talk to Hongyan about launching the new product. Don't bother me."

"Rubbish?"

Su Qianxue looked at the dark, murky thing at the bottom of the pot and was so angry she wanted to bite it.

"I knew it! You took the good stuff for yourself, and dumped the dirty, tiring work like washing the pots on me! Lin Yu, you're a real jerk!"

She walked over indignantly, picked up a steel wool pad, and prepared to scrub the pot.

While brushing, she also had to resist the temptation of the lingering, strange fragrance.

"It looks like asphalt, so why does it smell so good?"

Su Qianxue curiously leaned closer and took a sniff.

Suddenly, due to excessive force, a drop of dark medicine residue splashed up and landed right on the back of her left hand.

There was a red scratch there, from when I accidentally cut myself while chopping vegetables. Blood was still seeping out, and it stung painfully.

"Ugh! It's so dirty!"

Su Qianxue exclaimed in surprise and quickly turned on the tap to rinse herself.

However, after that clump of black dregs was washed away...

Su Qianxue was stunned.

She held her hand up to her eyes in disbelief, even rubbing her eyes hard.

"Where's the wound...?"

The bleeding scratch had completely disappeared without a trace! Not even a scar was left!

Not only that, the skin that had come into contact with the dregs of the medicine became exceptionally fair and delicate, forming a stark contrast with the slightly rough skin of the surrounding hands, like a piece of white jade inlaid in the yellow earth!

"This...how is this possible?"

Su Qianxue's heart raced; she could hardly believe her eyes.

The "garbage" cooked in that broken pressure cooker actually has the miraculous effect of instantly healing wounds and whitening skin?

"Could it be... that what he said was true? Is this really a treasure?"

A sense of fear called "cognitive collapse" crept into my mind.

Su Qianxue looked at the majority of the medicine residue that had been flushed down the drain and suddenly felt an unprecedented pang of heartache!

If you apply this to your face...wouldn't it be more effective than getting a cosmetic injection costing tens of thousands of dollars?

"No! Impossible! It must be a coincidence!"

Su Qianxue shook her head desperately, trying to convince herself with reason, "This is a chemical reaction! Or some kind of potent hormone was added! Yes, it must be a banned substance! Lin Yu is a madman, he's making poison!"

Although she said that, she hesitated noticeably when she poured out the last bit of dregs.

Finally, almost against her will, she secretly smeared a little with her finger and hid it in the tissue in her pocket.

"I...I'm doing this to gather evidence! This will be the evidence when we call the police to arrest him later!"

Su Qianxue blushed and found herself a perfect excuse.

……

In the living room.

Lin Yu was placing the small porcelain bottle containing the mother liquor of "Jade Skin Powder" on the coffee table.

Liu Hongyan rushed back in a business suit, and the moment she entered, she smelled that strange fragrance.

"Sir, this is..."

Looking at the porcelain bottle, Liu Hongyan's womanly intuition told her that this thing was not simple.

"This is the first product I'm preparing to launch, Jade Skin Powder."

Lin Yu said calmly, "Dilute it a thousand times, and even a sixty-year-old woman can have half of her wrinkles reduced after using it for a month. If it's a young girl, it will be effective in three days, leaving her skin smooth and supple."

Liu Hongyan gasped.

As the head of the Longteng Group, she knew all too well what those words meant. If the effects were even half as good as Lin Yu described, this stuff could cripple all the global cosmetics giants! It was a gold mine!

"Sir, I'll arrange the production line right away!" Liu Hongyan's hands were trembling with excitement.

"Don't be too happy yet."

Lin Yu pointed to a document on the table, which Liu Hongyan had just brought back.

"Has the raw material issue been resolved?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Hongyan's face instantly darkened.

"No. This morning, several of the largest suppliers of Chinese medicinal herbs in Jiangzhou and the surrounding three provinces suddenly issued a joint letter refusing to supply Longteng Group."

"In particular, the herbs Bai Ling Cao and Chi Yan Hua, which are essential for Yu Ji San, were all bought up overnight."

Lin Yu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who did this?"

"Found it."

Liu Hongyan gritted her teeth, "It's Zhang Hao. And he's not alone; he also has the Zhao family from the provincial capital backing him up. It's said that the eldest son of the Zhao family is a monopolist in the medicinal herb business."

"They've made it clear that if we want the raw materials, we'll have to..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless I personally have a meal with Young Master Zhao and break your... hands and feet, and then hand them over to Zhang Hao to vent his anger."

At this point, Liu Hongyan glanced at Lin Yu cautiously, fearing that this killing god would be enraged.

However, Lin Yu was not angry.

He simply picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"Cut off my arms and legs?"

"It seems that Young Master Zhang didn't really like the inflatable doll that was delivered the other day."

Lin Yu put down his teacup and stood up.

"If they don't want to sell, then don't sell."

Liu Hongyan was taken aback: "What do you mean, sir?"

"Those cancerous companies that monopolize the market are only a scourge if left unchecked."

Lin Yu took out the old pocket watch with a red five-pointed star from his pocket and gently stroked it.

"Tell that young master of the Zhao family that I'm going to his company to take over his territory in half an hour."

"Tell him to wash his neck clean and wait."

Su Qianxue, who was wiping the table nearby, dropped the rag in her hand with a "plop" when she heard this.

The eldest son of the Zhao family? That's a powerful family in the provincial capital! Ten times stronger than the Zhang family of Jiangzhou!

Lin Yu... has he really gone mad?

But for some reason, looking at Lin Yu's tall and straight back, Su Qianxue subconsciously touched the tissue with medicine residue in her pocket.

An absurd thought suddenly popped into my head:

Maybe... he really can do it?
