Lei Zhendong brought Jiang Fan outside.
He waved his hand.
"Li Hui, come here!"
On the training ground, the sturdy man who had just greeted Jiang Fan stopped what he was doing, wiped his hands on his clothes, and quickly ran over.
"Try this potion!"
Li Hui was taken aback. He looked at the potion in Lei Zhendong's hand, hesitating.
Lei Zhendong kicked him.
"It's brewed from Chinese medicine, don't worry, it won't kill you!"
As everyone knew, medicines brewed from Chinese medicinal materials didn't have much effect.
Similarly, they didn't have much toxicity.
With such a small amount of medicine, the worst that could happen after drinking it was probably just a stomachache.
Li Hui chuckled upon hearing this, and without asking further questions, he took the bottle and drank it down.
"How is it? Do you feel anything?"
Lei Zhendong and Jiang Fan stared intently at Li Hui.
Li Hui spread his hands.
"Master, what is this stuff? Besides being a bit bitter, there's really nothing..."
As soon as he said that, his expression changed. He felt as if a fireball had exploded in his lower abdomen, and heat was continuously erupting outwards.
Within seconds, his body became scorching hot.
This situation startled Jiang Fan as well.
He had the Breathing Technique to guide him, so he wouldn't have any problems. But the martial artists of this world practiced science. Whether they would have issues was hard to say!
He had been careless! He hadn't considered this point!
In his haste, he quickly said to Li Hui.
"Try practicing the fist techniques Uncle Lei taught you!"
While feeling the burning sensation, Li Hui heard Jiang Fan's words. Whether it would be useful or not, he immediately began practicing his fist techniques on the spot.
As he practiced, white mist-like substances slowly emerged from the exterior of his body.
After practicing five or six times continuously, about ten minutes later, Li Hui stopped.
Lei Zhendong hurriedly asked.
"How is it? Are you feeling better?"
Not only was Jiang Fan startled just now, but even he himself was a bit shocked.
A seemingly ordinary potion had caused such a strong reaction in Li Hui, something that had never happened before.
Li Hui clenched his fists, swung them, and said excitedly.
"Master, I'm fine! I feel my strength has increased again!"
Afterwards, he said excitedly.
"Master, is this the latest product from the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups? I feel its medicinal effect is much stronger than usual!"
"Even now, I still feel like there's a fireball in my lower abdomen. I think I haven't fully absorbed the medicinal effects yet!"
Lei Zhendong's expression shifted. He clearly hadn't expected this outcome.
"You two, follow me!"
As he said this, he addressed the other onlookers.
"Everyone else, continue practicing! Don't crowd around!"
The second floor was equipped with specialized Qi and Blood Testing Devices and Combat Power Testing Devices.
Lei Zhendong led Jiang Fan and Li Hui to the equipment and said.
"Let's test it!"
Li Hui's eyes were filled with excitement, and he threw a punch.
A few minutes later, Lei Zhendong and Li Hui stared at the numbers in front of them in a daze.
"0.2! Master, my Qi and Blood increased by a full 0.2!"
"My Combat Power also increased by about 20!"
After the initial shock, Li Hui excitedly hugged Lei Zhendong.
"I just tested this morning, and now it's 0.2 more than this morning!"
"Where did this potion come from? I want to buy it, I want to buy it!"
Li Hui wasn't surprised by his excitement. He was a First-level Martial Artist, and after awakening, he had used Level 1 gene serum to open gene locks 1 through 3.
However, his Qi and Blood had been growing slowly.
Before today, his Qi and Blood hadn't increased for a month.
To have it increase by 0.2 today felt almost as joyous as when he first awakened.
Lei Zhendong's heart surged with emotion. He calmed himself and glanced at Li Hui.
"You, go back first. I'll talk to you later!"
After saying that, he took Jiang Fan back to his office.
Once Jiang Fan was seated, Lei Zhendong closed the door, locked it, and looked at Jiang Fan sternly.
"Xiao Fan, tell me honestly, where did you get this bottle of serum?"
Jiang Fan's heart sank. He hesitated, unsure if he should tell Lei Zhendong.
Seeing Jiang Fan's difficulty, Lei Zhendong waved his hand.
"Fine, I won't ask where you got this serum!"
"How much more of this serum can you get?"
Jiang Fan felt a wave of relief.
"If there are enough medicinal ingredients, then we can produce plenty of serum!"
After speaking, Jiang Fan added.
"All ordinary medicinal ingredients!"
At this point, Jiang Fan no longer feared revealing his secrets to Lei Zhendong.
On one hand, Lei Zhendong had treated him well.
On the other hand, he wanted to rely on Lei Zhendong to promote this serum and gain cultivation resources. He couldn't avoid this issue.
Lei Zhendong's eyes flashed with brilliance.
"Can it be mass-produced?"
Jiang Fan replied.
"It can be, but it has to be done manually!"
"Because the process inside is very complex!"
"So, we can only rely on manual labor to manage the processes involved!"
However, after thinking for a moment, he added.
"If some of the internal processes can be simplified and improved, then perhaps it could be mass-produced by machines, but the effectiveness might be compromised!"
In Qing Yue's memories, there was a method for simplifying the brewing of this medicinal soup under complex conditions.
The simplified medicinal soup required fewer ingredients and was easier to operate, but its effectiveness would be significantly reduced.
Comparing them, Jiang Fan realized that this simplified medicinal soup could likely be produced by machines.
After hearing Jiang Fan's words, Lei Zhendong stood up and paced around the room.
After walking back and forth several times, he sighed in dejection.
"Although I really want to do this business, the pharmaceutical sales channels in Jiang City are currently controlled by the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups. It's hard to break in!"
"And I'm an outsider! This is probably very difficult!"
At the very first moment, he had realized this was a massive opportunity.
Judging by Li Hui's reaction, the efficacy of this serum was significantly stronger than the third-generation products from the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups.
And according to Jiang Fan's description, the cost of one bottle was around 5,000 Blue Star Coins, while the third-generation products from the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups sold for 50,000 Blue Star Coins per bottle.
A profit margin of ten times was incredibly tempting.
But after calming down, he quickly realized that this was not something he could get involved in.
After pondering for a long time with a frown, Lei Zhendong said.
"There's only one way now!"
"That is to cooperate with one of the Three Major Pharmaceutical Groups!"
Jiang Fan's heart stirred.
He had originally just wanted to sell this bottle of serum to get raw materials, then refine more serum for his own cultivation. He hadn't thought about cooperation.
Hearing Lei Zhendong mention it now, he instantly felt that this method was not bad. If he had a partner, at least he wouldn't have to go through all this trouble every time.
As for sharing profits, his path wouldn't stop here. Appropriately sharing profits in the early stages could help him improve his strength faster, so he didn't need to worry too much about it.
"How do we cooperate?"
Seeing Jiang Fan's interest, Lei Zhendong smiled and said.
"As for how to cooperate, that will naturally depend on what they say!"
