Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

"This effect is really good!"

Fang Ranran was amazed. Lin Rui actually mastered the Alchemy of the Extreme Celestial Star, and at least at a high level!

The efficacy of the potion wasn't as strong as Lin Rui had claimed, but it was indeed useful for the human body!

This potion had reached the high rank of the fourth realm. Given Lin Rui's current age, he definitely couldn't have developed it himself. Could it really be the work of Academician Huangfu, or perhaps left behind by his father, Lin Cong?

Fang Ranran's eyes shone brightly as she looked at Lin Rui. "Can this potion be mass-produced? Can it be sold to Tianlan Group?"

Lin Rui smiled slightly, "Mass production is definitely not possible, but small-scale alchemy is doable. The production process only requires the participation of three to five high-level Pharmacists and could drive a team of over a hundred Pharmacists. As for selling the potion formula, it's difficult to set a price. I feel it's better to start a company through a partnership.

"I have several other formulas left by Academician Huangfu, mainly for health and beauty. I can contribute these as technical shares. Your Tianlan Group could provide the Pharmacists and production equipment, and the potions we create would be sold through your channels."

The potion formulas he possessed that could be applied to the human world all required Pharmacists of a certain standard to be able to brew them.

However, Pharmacists of this caliber were mostly controlled by large companies and scientific research institutions. Very few worked on their own; recruiting them was troublesome and unreliable.

Lin Rui had neither the time nor the financial resources to cultivate his own Pharmacists, and he had no energy to manage and run a business either.

So the best way was to cooperate with Fang Ranran and utilize Tianlan Group's resources.

"Beauty?" Fang Ranran's eyes lit up. Out of Lin Rui's lengthy speech, these were the only words she caught: "Which aspects? Create some for me to try."

Lin Rui was taken aback as he looked at Fang Ranran's face, smooth as a peeled egg, and thought to himself, Miss Fang is so beautiful, yet she still wants beauty products?

"Mainly for skincare, one is for moisturizing, and the other for whitening and anti-aging. The effects should be quite good."

Fang Ranran became enthusiastic at his words. "What ingredients are needed? I'll buy them right now."

Lin Rui had no choice but to disclose two potion formulas to Fang Ranran.

He wasn't worried about the formulas being leaked. Besides the ingredients, the techniques and steps of Alchemy were also crucial. Missing even a single step could greatly change the effects.

About 40 minutes later, Fang Ranran, following Lin Rui's instructions, mixed two of his concocted potions with water in a certain ratio and applied them to her face.

She touched her face in surprise, and after checking the mirror, she felt her skin was fresh and dewy.

The full effects of moisturizing and anti-aging would take time to be evident, but the hydration and whitening benefits were immediately visible.

Fang Ranran found that her skin had become much whiter, not the colorless white, but a healthy milky complexion.

This confirmed that Lin Rui's words were not empty promises.

Fang Ranran's interest grew. In this era, bio-technology advances had made gene modulation widespread; there were no exceptionally ugly women. Nonetheless, the cosmetics industry was still thriving, especially skincare products for moisturizing, whitening, and anti-aging,

She had never expected that her whim would yield such a result,

These two products had great prospects, far more than the 'Dragon Shedding Pill'.

The 'Dragon Shedding Pill' could be used by only a few, and how many could afford it? Annual sales of ten billion would be impressive.

On the other hand, the prospects for these skincare and whitening potions were vast if the promotion was done right and the distribution channels were opened.

Fang Ranran then enthusiastically dragged Lin Rui to a law firm to discuss establishing a company and registering patents.

The company name would be 'Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals.' Lin Rui would use seven formulas for shares worth 63%, while Fang Ranran would contribute production equipment, personnel, and various resources, for 37% ownership.

At the same time, subject to financial oversight rights, Lin Rui entrusted the business operations to Fang Ranran for a period of five years.

The contract stipulated that should Lin Rui wish to sell his shares, he must first offer them to Fang Ranran, and if there were any new potions or formulas, they must first be entrusted to 'Rui Fang Pharmaceuticals.' Explore more stories at My Virtual Library Empire

When Lin Rui saw the contract, something felt off. The partner he sought was Tianlan Group, not Fang Ranran.

But Fang Ranran justified boldly that she could provide all the resources Lin Rui needed, and she had the management team and sales channels, and could get the best of them. Why should this new company hand shares over to Tianlan?

These large conglomerates were domineering in style. If Tianlan Group were to invest, they would certainly not settle for a mere fraction of the shares. They would do everything in their power to seize control. If they couldn't obtain controlling power, they would definitely demand exclusive rights to sell the products.

There would be no such problem if she made the investment. Fang Ranran naturally hoped her own company would get better and better.

Lin Rui pondered the wealthy lady's reasoning, finding it quite sensible. He just wanted to make some money with these medical and alchemy prescriptions to support his livelihood. As for whether Fang Ranran was underhandedly undermining her family's interests, that was none of his concern.

Moreover, he was deeply impressed by Fang Ranran's financial management skills.

By now, Lin Rui had realized that despite Fang Ranran's seemingly flashy spending, she hadn't actually spent a dime of her own money at the Martial Arts Club; a portion of the club's funds came from the school, with the vast majority from external sponsorships.

It was clear that the woman was inherently stingy.

Fang Ranran's execution and resourcefulness were also commendable. At her young age, she had already become a director and advisor for seventy to eighty foundations and was said to be planning to run for a parliamentary seat after graduation.

With such social resources and her ability to manage money, she was bound to succeed in business once she committed herself.

Meanwhile, in a privately dug cave in the lower district C4323 pipeline, Gong Hengdao looked at the items Xue Lingxue had brought for him.

There were three bottles of elixirs, along with three types of anti-anxiety medications and sedatives available commercially, and an automatic acupuncture machine equipped with a life support capsule.

Besides these, Lin Rui had also asked Xue Lingxue to bring him ten tubes of 'High-Concentration War Dragon Nutrient', specifically for nurturing implanted war dragons.

The best way to take care of implanted war dragons was to keep them in specialized war dragon life support units, which could maintain their vigor and make them fully battle-ready.

However, Gong Hengdao lacked such amenities at the moment and had to rely on these war dragon nutrients, which were significantly less effective than the life support units.

These ten tubes of injection were certainly a godsend for Gong Hengdao. It had been 10 days since his war dragon last received a nutrient injection and was in a dire state, extremely weak and barely clinging to life through cryogenic preservation.

The 'High-Concentration War Dragon Nutrient' was exorbitantly priced, and Xue Lingxue mentioned that this expense would be deducted from his future wages.

Gong Hengdao did not care at all; he felt invigorated, like molten lava, upon seeing these medicines.

What mattered to him was that the young man was actually willing to spend that much money on him.

—He was really willing to invest in him, to be confident in making him survive!

Without hesitation, Gong Hengdao first took out three tubes of 'High-Concentration War Dragon Nutrient' and went out to inject his implanted war dragon with them.

Following that, he took the medicines as prescribed by Lin Rui and lay down in the automatic acupuncture machine.

As the medicine started to work, the machine began inserting the Golden Needles into Gong Hengdao's body. He gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Xue Lingxue had heard from Lin Rui that Gong Hengdao might sleep for about four hours after taking the medicine for the first time.

She did not feel completely at ease, so she stayed to watch over him in the cave.

After all, it was the lower district where security was chaotic, and the implanted war dragon was currently too weak to fight. Xue Lingxue couldn't afford to be inattentive.

About three hours in, Xue Lingxue let out a surprised exclamation and looked toward a projection screen next to her.

It was an old psychic detector that Gong Hengdao had bought from the black market. Xue Lingxue noticed that the several dotted lines representing Gong Hengdao's psychic state on the screen began to stabilize.

These dotted lines were drawing almost straight trajectories, in stark contrast to the previously volatile status.

Xue Lingxue couldn't help but clench her fists with renewed spirits.

Lin Rui really had a way to save Uncle Gong's life!

No! Judging from the psychic detector's charts, the effects of the elixirs and acupuncture far exceeded her expectations.

Lin Rui, the disciple of Academician Huangfu, was truly no fluke—
