When it came to immortality, no human was immune to its allure, and Shen Bing was no exception.
Forget living several thousand years longer—even a few hundred years, or a few decades, would drive countless people wild.
Previously, Shen Bing had developed a cell-repair drug through his research into the Immortal Peach, then used that drug to create Cancer Cure No. 1, which had taken the world by storm.
In the broad sense of life extension, this drug could indeed extend a person's life, since the vast majority of elderly people died from illnesses caused by cellular aging.

In other words, the cell-repair drug could allow people to live to the upper limit of their natural lifespan, but living beyond that required a different drug.
Such as Lord Lao's golden core pills, or Immortal Peaches...
Unfortunately, both golden core pills and Immortal Peaches were extremely high-end items. Even though Shen Bing's Gate to the Immortal Realm had now reached level 3, the chances of fully analyzing the technology within them were... very low.
