How Tragic

Only after his mother, Zhang Yufeng, had walked away did Old Li Comrade finally breathe a sigh of relief and sit down.

He and Li Yao exchanged a glance, both seeing lingering fear in each other's eyes. Li Yao then thought of an old saying, "The Yu Feng is Fiercer than a Tiger!" "What did you say, you little brat!"

Old Li Comrade was displeased, his face fell, and he scolded in a low voice, "Who can't you talk about!"

I'm your Laozi, so watch your words!

Li Yao waved his hand. "Alright, stop making such a fuss... We both know what our positions are at home, so let's not give each other any face."

Old Li Comrade: "..."

This is so unlucky...

Li Yao continued, "I have some good stuff here, specifically for maintaining that aspect of health, but you should use it sparingly and not overuse it."

Those are all potent and dangerous medicines!

Although Old Li Comrade's body is no longer like that of an ordinary person after being baptized by the Vitality Potion for so long, that potion was originally developed by the mage who was determined to defeat all the females in Myriad Realms. The "diary" he left behind not only recorded his travel experiences back then, but also recorded many prescriptions for... well, you know.

Although the original copy of that diary is gone, and even the published version is no longer available.

However, that sorcerer was very flamboyant and spread many of his prescriptions and medicines, which became highly sought-after "hard" currencies among the noble classes of various countries.

certainly,

It's impossible for Li Yao to refine the potion that's compatible with the dragon.

The drug he gave Old Li must have been weakened to a considerable degree.

Upon hearing about the new drug, Old Li Comrade immediately perked up. "I didn't expect you to be hiding something from me! Be sure to give me a generous portion!"

Anyway, a son would never harm his Laozi!

He has no throne to crown him king!

Li Yao sensed something was wrong when he saw his Old Li Comrade —could it be that his father was having an affair? Li Yao tentatively asked, "Dad, have you done something to betray Mom?"

Men understand men best; they can never resist the advances of young and beautiful girls, especially after they become wealthy.

The young and beautiful girl clung to you like a moth to a flame!

Upon hearing this, Old Li's liver trembled, and he furtively looked around, afraid that his mother, Zhang Yufeng, would suddenly appear. "You'd better shut up!"

"You damn fool!" Old Li Comrade said after observing for a while, "Don't make things up if I didn't do it!"

Seeing his flustered state, Li Yao narrowed his eyes. "Then why are you so nervous? And why did you steal Uncle Lin's medicine?"

Old Li: "You don't know anything!"

He pointed at the pharmacy and said, "Why do you think our pharmacy does so well? It's because we can get a wider variety of medicines. Besides, this store is just a transit point. We cooperate with many pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and clinics in the provincial capital. Why do hospitals choose to get their supplies from us? Don't other places have the goods? Why would they get them from you?"

Old Li Comrade patted his chest and said, "Isn't this all thanks to your Dad?!"

That's what you call tactical! Hey! People tend to develop one problem or another as they get older, especially doctors.

Old Li Comrade, with an air of nonchalance, picked up his thermos, unscrewed it, took a sip, and lectured, "Don't be fooled by the doctors' advice; their own lives are actually quite difficult. They eat takeout, work overtime, and stay up late. In particular, many departments require long-term work in high-dose radiation areas. It's tough!"

Those chronic ailments are not so easy to cure, even within the medical system.

Old Li used the medicine Li Yao gave him to visit various hospitals...

Once the results are in, won't the relationships be established? Li Yao understood after hearing this and praised his Dad, "You're so insightful!"

These tropes sound strangely familiar. When Li Yao was in school, he read all sorts of urban novels, and many of the protagonists in them loved to do things like this.

He hadn't even gotten involved in his own business, and he hadn't even been paying attention to his senior's business for a long time. Unexpectedly, Old Li opened the door to a new world with the medicine he provided... If Old Li Comrade becomes a pharmaceutical sales tycoon in the provincial capital or even the whole country in the future, it will definitely be a very interesting thing to write his autobiography.

However, his approach was also correct.

There are also extraordinary beings on Earth, and there must be drugs with similar effects.

The reason it didn't circulate was because the materials were hard to obtain, which caused the manufacturing costs to rise steadily.

There are many similar medicines in Medicine King Valley, but they are special products intended for the upper echelons and there is no way they could be mass-produced and made available to the general public.

Even the Original Liquid produced by my senior was an incomplete version, and its effects were probably only seven or eight times better than SK-II or similar products.

And that's it! Those are all god-tier products!

After all, products like SK-II are mostly just a way to rip people off.

It's not that his Original Liquid is too powerful, but rather that the reference target is too... ordinary.

certainly,

Some laboratory-grade products are just as effective as, or even surpass, the Original Liquid. One foreign company has even made a major breakthrough in life extension research. Unfortunately, those are not something that ordinary people can enjoy.

That's the advantage of Original Liquid.

Unbeatable at this price point! Li Yao thought for a moment and then said, "Then I'll give you another batch of medicine every month as 'operating expenses'."

Old Li Comrade rubbed his hands together happily. "Great!"

Just then,

There was another noise from the doorway, and then I heard my mother, Zhang Yufeng, say happily, "Shishi's here! You always bring things with you!"

Hmm? Li Yao frowned and looked towards the entrance of the pharmacy. He saw a senior student in a silver-gray women's suit carrying several large and small bags, chatting with Zhang Yufeng. However, she looked a little unnatural because there were not only Aunt Lin behind the counter, but also Chen Xi and Lin Xiaoxi.

After Zhang Yufeng finished greeting her senior,

Chen Xi said gently and gracefully, "President Li, it's been a long time."

Senior student. "It really has been a long time... Is Li Yao here?"

Chen Xi smiled brightly and said, "Mmm!"

She usually goes wherever the boss is.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Li Shishi's eyes darkened slightly, but she quickly composed herself and called out, "Junior, your senior is here! Where are you? It's been so long, have you forgotten about your senior?"

Li Yao: "..."

Old Li Comrade, holding his thermos, shook his head leisurely. "How Tragic."
