Rebirth of the Urban Demon Lord

Chapter 45 Selling Medicine

Chapter Forty-Five: Selling Medicine

"That's a kind of cultivation technique. Even if I explained it to you, you wouldn't understand," Zhuo Yang said with a faint smile.

"A cultivation method?" The dean was somewhat disappointed. "I thought I had discovered a widely applicable treatment for cerebral infarction, but it seems I was overthinking it."

He left looking lost and confused, leaving the people in the ward bewildered.

“The hospital director is a good man.” Dongfang Jiye shook his head and sighed. “I’ve heard that the director of the First Hospital is a madman who has spent his whole life trying to develop a treatment for cerebral infarction. Zhuo Yang successfully cured the old squad leader, which gave him a lot of hope, but it was shattered in an instant.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Hongliang's eyes lit up: "Jiye, you previously mentioned wanting to collaborate with me on developing a new drug, which is said to be incredibly miraculous. What exactly is this drug?"

Dongfang Jiye pulled Zhuo Yang in front of him and introduced him in a serious manner: "This master is named Zhuo Yang. He is a true cultivator and can refine a kind of pill that enhances human functions. Since he is refining pills, I will contact you, Medicine King Wu, and plan to sell them through your channels!"

"Mr. Zhuo's medicine?" Wu Hongliang looked at Zhuo Yang in surprise.

After a moment of contemplation, he said firmly, "I have faith in Mr. Zhuo's medical skills, but getting a drug onto the market is not that simple. I can only promise to help you get the drug to market as quickly as possible."

"What if it's a nutritional supplement, rather than medicine?" Dongfang Jiye chuckled a few times.

Wu Hongliang immediately laughed: "You really are a shrewd businessman. Nutritional supplements fall under the category of food. You can easily get the serial number yourself. Why would you need my help?"

"It's different, it's different!" Dongfang Jiye lowered his voice. "In the last three months, the whole world has undergone earth-shattering changes, and all sorts of demons and monsters have emerged. Old Squad Leader, you're well-informed, how could you not know?"

Wu Hongliang was taken aback: "You mean, pills can enhance a cultivator's abilities?"

Dongfang Jiye said in a low voice, "The medicine is for ordinary people, but whether they will awaken their Five Elements abilities after taking it is anyone's guess!"

"Really?" Wu Hongliang's eyes lit up like light bulbs.

The higher one's status, the more information one has access to. He has learned from others that the world is undergoing tremendous changes, cultivators are becoming increasingly powerful, and demons and monsters are appearing frequently.

Ordinary people can only look up to all of this, but they are not without the opportunity to come into contact with it, which is to awaken the Five Elements ability.

If anyone dares to say that there is a medicine that can awaken the abilities of ordinary people with a certain probability, then such a medicine will definitely become the primary target of competition among various forces. Once they obtain the pill, they will immediately cultivate their own power in large quantities.

"Mr. Zhuo saved your life, don't you believe him?" Dongfang Jiye was extremely proud, and pulled Zhuo Yang in front of him again, as if the more outstanding Zhuo Yang was, the more proud he could be.

Wu Hongliang looked at Zhuo Yang with burning eyes, and after a long while, he solemnly said, "Mr. Zhuo, if you really have such a medicine, I'm afraid it's not something I, Old Wu, can take!"

Zhuo Yang smiled calmly and said, "And Mr. Dongfang."

"Even if the two of us join forces, we can't finish it!" Wu Hongliang said with a wry smile.

Zhuo Yang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Then let's try a different approach. First, help me promote the pills among the upper class, let people know that such pills exist, and then, big fish will definitely take the bait!"

"Using bait to fish?" Wu Hongliang immediately realized, "I understand, leave this to me."

Dongfang Jiye laughed and said, "Old squad leader, I can't give you too much benefit this time. You can only take 10% of the sales revenue of the pills."

Next, the three of them briefly discussed the specific production and sales tasks of the pills. Zhuo Yang was responsible for refining the initial pills, which was the most crucial and confidential part. Then, Dongfang Jiye would transport them to Wu Hongliang for secondary processing, which was the disguise part, before they were finally sold.

Wu Hongliang was discharged from the hospital that same day and began promoting the elixir. Before leaving, Zhuo Yang gave Wu Hongliang a jade pendant, telling him to break it if he was in danger.

Wu Hongliang accepted the jade pendant. He had figured it out: if you want to do big business, you have to take the corresponding risks. The world of the future belongs to cultivators. Even if you can't become a cultivator, you still have to get involved in that world, or you will be eliminated by the times.

In just two days, an earthquake struck Lingzhou Guiquan.

The thing that caused the tremor was a pill called the Cold Spirit Pill. Ordinary people who take this pill have a 1% chance of awakening their Five Elements abilities. Even if they don't awaken them, their physical functions will be greatly enhanced.

A 45-year-old noblewoman experienced a dramatic transformation in her body within just half a day after trying the Cold Spirit Pill. She seemed to have returned to her 20s, with firm skin and a more beautiful appearance.

There was also a playboy who spent his days chasing girls. After taking the Cold Spirit Pill, his body, which had long been weakened by wine and women, became instantly strong, and he was known to have slept with ten women that very night.

Then an awakener appeared: a rich and beautiful sixteen-year-old girl who, after taking the Cold Spirit Pill, immediately awakened her water-manipulation ability and could control the water flow around her body.

Then several people in black trench coats appeared, took the girl away, and released her half a day later.

According to her, the other party claimed to be from the Dragon Court, responsible for ensuring that cultivators did not cause harm to society. After receiving instruction on the code of conduct for cultivators, she was released…

On the morning of the third day, Wu Hongliang and his wife's phones were ringing off the hook, all from people wanting to buy Hanling Pills.

As agreed beforehand, they only said that the production of the Cold Spirit Pill was underway and that it would be sold at a unified launch event three days later.

Three days after three days, and for the entire week, Zhuo Yang spent his time refining the Cold Spirit Pill, which was essentially a weaker version of the Cold Spring Pill.

Refining a Concentrating Cold Spring Pill requires several hundred kilograms of medicinal herbs and a drop of cold spring water. With the same amount of medicinal herbs and cold spring water, a dozen Cold Spring Pills can be refined, while with the same amount of consumption, two hundred Cold Spirit Pills can be refined.

After refining another batch of Cold Spirit Pills, Zhuo Yang had the old steward take the cart away.

"Jiaxin, how many pills have I refined these past few days?" Zhuo Yang asked with a smile.

Huang Jiaxin had fully embraced the role of housekeeper, dressed in a stylish and fashionable outfit, with a bag always hanging from her waist. She took out a notebook from the bag, looked at it, and then said, "Master, you have refined 23,400 Cold Spirit Pills these past few days."

Zhuo Yang nodded, saying it would be enough for a while.

The cold spring water has been used up by more than three levels, and the rest needs to be used carefully. I wonder when I will be able to find other rare and precious materials.

"Don't call me 'Master' anymore, it sounds uncomfortable," Zhuo Yang said with a smile.

Huang Jiaxin, however, said very seriously: "Then I'll call you Young Master."

"No, it sounds like a waiter!" Zhuo Yang chuckled wryly. "Don't always have that stern face like the old housekeeper. I don't have that many rules. Relax."

Huang Jiaxin nodded, a smile appearing on her small face: "Then should I call you master?"

Zhuo Yang nodded: "That's fine!"

"Hmph!" Huang Jiaxin thought to herself with contempt, but her expression remained unchanged as she softly called out, "Master."

Zhuo Yang was in a good mood and waved his hand: "Get ready, we're going to Old Wu's sales event this afternoon!"
