Fury Immortal Doctor

Bai Jiao, who was charming and beautiful, was stunned. Then she naturally sat down next to Shen Qiang and said in surprise, "Hearing you say that, it seems logical. At least, at the time, no one could question her design, at most just made some tweaks on the details."

Shen Qiang smiled, but before he could speak, Xiaoxia was stunned. Then she hurriedly said, "But I tested it with my classmates. We wore the same clothes, said the same lines. All ten people I asked for help assisted me, but only three out of ten people helped the classmate who wasn't attractive."

"Do you still think, in the face of such clear test results, that the beauty premium and ugliness penalty don't exist? Do you still not believe this is a society that values appearances?"

Shen Qiang laughed, "Are you sure that classmate of yours, when wearing the same clothes and saying the same lines as you, was as confident and cheerful as you are?"

Xiaoxia was taken aback.

Shen Qiang said with a smile, "Actually, when it comes to appearance, it does have an effect on people. To say it doesn't exist at all is impossible, but the impact is minor. How much money a person can earn doesn't depend on their looks, but rather on their personality."

Xiaoxia pouted, "In my family's hotpot restaurant, there are many waitstaff, and those who are good-looking are at the front, while those who aren't are in the kitchen."

Shen Qiang laughed, "It's not as you imagine. Look at those people on the wealth rankings. True tycoons are not overwhelmingly handsome or dazzlingly beautiful. Most of them have ordinary faces, and some even lower the national aesthetic standards. If not for their photos appearing on the wealth rankings, you wouldn't give them a second glance when seeing them normally."

"So, just based on this, you can confirm that being beautiful and earning more is an unreliable notion."

Hearing this, Xiaoxia was not convinced and retorted, "What about those big stars? They're good-looking and earn a lot for their roles."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Do you still not understand? When people really decide whether to help you or trust you, it has nothing to do with beauty, but rather your mental state. Whether one is confident is key. For instance, in the Provincial City's millions of people, there are many beauties, but I choose to be with you guys instead of them. The real reason is because of your captivating confident smiles and cheerful personalities."

"If you're not good-looking, where does the confidence come from?" Xiaoxia pouted.

Shen Qiang laughed, "This issue is like which came first, the chicken or the egg. Someone else succeeded while I didn't. In such cases, more people will look for reasons, and the simplest and easiest excuse is that she's prettier than me, or the manager might fancy her, or he's handsome, and maybe the boss's wife likes him."

"This is why the beauty premium and ugliness penalty, such laughable notions, appear."

Xiaoxia didn't believe it and questioned, "The saying that you can't judge a book by its cover seems to prove that judging people by appearances has always existed and doesn't have much to do with ability."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Mental outlook and mental state are more important. If being ugly meant punishment was inevitable, then none of those people on the wealth rankings would make it."

At that moment, Ju Yang interjected with a resigned sigh, "You all missed the point. Whether it's the beauty premium or self-confidence, the point is, people who look good are usually more confident. This way, their mental state will be better, more cheerful, and they are more likely to succeed."

"And usually, those who lack confidence will hesitate. If they don't believe they can succeed, how can others believe it? And once they fail, they will find excuses for themselves as comfort, and the beauty premium is undoubtedly the best excuse."

"So, this topic ends here!"

Ju Yang raised an eyebrow and said, "I need to buy makeup. After having the baby, I definitely have to doll myself up beautifully. That way, I'll be confident and easily succeed."

Shen Qiang felt helpless, "I'm confident, and I don't need makeup."

Ju Yang laughed coquettishly, "Men and women are, of course, different. I don't care; I just want to be young and beautiful forever."

Bai Jiao also laughed, "Exactly, eternal youth is every woman's dream. Don't you want to stay young forever? If someone could make me forever young and beautiful, I would be willing to trade all my money for it."

Xiaoxia also nodded seriously, "Eternal youth, lasting beauty, that's simply the ultimate perfect dream in every woman's heart."

Looking at the three women with earnest expressions.

Shen Qiang laughed. After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "Fine, you win. I've decided to work overtime for your beauty."

The three women were taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Shen Qiang smiled and calmly raised an eyebrow, "Don't forget, I'm the strongest Alchemist in the Cultivation World. Instead of watching you waste lots of time researching cosmetics, why don't I just refine a few Elixir Pills that can keep you youthful forever? One and done, and you'll stay young forever."

In an instant, the three women were ecstatic.

"Really? Shen Qiang, are you kidding me? How could such magical Elixir Pills exist?" Xiaoxia's eyes filled with hope.

Ju Yang was shocked, "Can that really be done? That would definitely be a great achievement in medical history!"

"Pills that make you eternally young and beautiful!" Bai Jiao's eyes were filled with excitement, "If you can really refine such Elixir Pills, female cultivators in the Cultivation World would go crazy. They would risk everything, no, not just the Cultivation World, all women would be mad for it!"

Looking at the three women's shocked, hopeful, and excited expressions, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "What I've said, I will definitely fulfill. It's just that sourcing materials is an issue, so I'll try to rush and finish refining it before returning home."

"However." Changing direction, Shen Qiang looked at the three expectant women and said, "Assuming the initial batch of Elixir Pills is limited, then my mom will have priority. Anyone who has an opinion can raise their hand, though it won't matter, because I believe this is the gift she deserves for all her hard work over the years and for not having had the chance to take care of herself properly."

Hearing this, Bai Jiao, Xiaoxia, and Ju Yang, who initially wanted to raise their hands, decided not to.

"Originally, I thought if such a magical product existed, it should first be taken to Tianyou Medicine for research, but if it's for your mother, I think she might need it more." Ju Yang smiled.

Xiaoxia also smiled charmingly, "Yes, auntie is older, and we are still young. We can wait. Go for it, Shen Qiang. I believe you can definitely succeed."

On the side, Bai Jiao also looked at Shen Qiang with hopeful eyes and said, "I knew you wouldn't disappoint me. She gave birth to you and raised you, so we won't be jealous of whatever you give her. Go for it and make sure to succeed."

"Don't worry." Shen Qiang's eyes shone brightly as he smiled, "I never miss."
