Fury Immortal Doctor

Looking at the stunning Young Master of Medicine King Valley, the charming and proud girl laughed and said, "The Young Master has three thousand kinds of pill recipes and medicines! I bet that number alone would scare Shen Qiang into fleeing in panic, dropping everything and running for his life. How would he dare challenge the dignity of our Medicine King Valley?"

The stunning Young Master of Medicine King Valley's eyes curved in a smile, "You little girl, why are you exaggerating so much? To put it in perspective, within the cultivation world, an alchemist with over a dozen kinds of pill recipes is already considered a qualified alchemist, and those with over a hundred are rare. Our Medicine King Valley has accumulated three thousand types of pill recipes and medicines, not only from thousands of years of heritage but also as a guarantee of our status. Comparing these to Shen Qiang is just bullying him, isn't it?"

"What does it matter if we bully him?" The charming girl laughed proudly, "Our exclusivity stands unparalleled. Even among cultivators, there are not more than three places that can offer over three hundred kinds of pill recipes and medicines. So we'll bully him, hmph, the King of Demons, renowned in others' eyes, easily bullied by our Young Master. Haha, just thinking about it makes me happy."

The stunning Young Master of Medicine King Valley chuckled, looking out of the window with sparkling eyes, "Listening to you brightened my mood considerably. Shen Qiang's alchemy skills far surpass mine, and he's a genius who can substitute rare materials with cheaper ones. But without pill recipes, if he relies on luck alone, he's bound never to win against me."

At the same time, sitting on the sofa, Shen Qiang was helplessly staring at Cheng Xinyi's inventory list of pharmaceutical materials, frowning and sighing.

"In the Medical Saint Inheritance, there are too many elixirs and medicines. Among the eighty-one classifications, the category of beauty and skincare has the fewest, yet there are still over three thousand kinds, each with its special effect. The best among them is undoubtedly the Timeless Beauty Pill."

"This is the best beauty elixir, which, after consumption, can adjust your appearance to the utmost beauty according to your genes and maintain it for life. It can reverse aging and maintain youth forever. However, the necessary ingredient, Condensed Jade Dew, is not available with Cheng Xinyi, Wanxin Hesheng, nor is it in the Dragon Group's marketplace."

"That means, by the time I head home for the New Year, even if I find a way to gather it, it's too late."

Seeing Shen Qiang's disappointed eyes, Bai Jiao comforted, "Shen Qiang, don't worry. If there really aren't materials, then let this matter rest for now."

Shen Qiang smiled bitterly.

At this moment, Xu Nan hesitated and then said, "Shen Qiang, how about I accompany you to the herb market for a look?"

Shen Qiang shook his head, "It's useless. Those aren't ordinary herbs. If neither you nor the Dragon Group have them, it means the market won't have them either."

After checking his watch, seeing it was already past two in the afternoon, Shen Qiang said, "Spring Festival is just around the corner. By this time, some major herb wholesalers have already closed."

Hearing this, Bai Jiao wrapped an arm around Shen Qiang's, saying, "How about we prepare other gifts for Auntie? After the New Year, we can think of other ways. After all, these magical elixirs aren't easy to get, not like beauty salons where you can get botulinum toxin injections anytime you want..."

"Botulinum toxin!" Shen Qiang's eyes suddenly brightened, and his delighted voice startled the women present.

"I've got it, I've got the gift!" With that, Shen Qiang, filled with joy, turned and left.

Watching his departing figure, the women were bewildered, full of surprise.

"What's up with him? Acting all strangely," Xu Nan wondered.

Bai Jiao's beautiful eyes were filled with confusion, "It seems to be related to botulinum toxin. Is he planning to buy a few beauty needles to take home? That would be too..."

As the women were mired in confusion.

As soon as Shen Qiang got out of the door and into his car, the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu and Ye Guyun followed him up.

"Where are we going?" Ye Guyun asked curiously,

Shen Qiang, excited, said, "To the pharmaceutical development center of Tianyou Medicine."

Both were astonished.

The car sped all the way. When they reached the research building behind Tianyou Medicine, Shen Qiang unexpectedly ran into the heavily pregnant Ju Yang, who exclaimed with surprise and curiosity, "Shen Qiang, why are you here?"

Shen Qiang smiled, "I want to use the laboratory."

Ju Yang, taken aback, checked the time, handed Shen Qiang a big bunch of keys, and said, "Alright, all the keys are yours. I have to go. I have a dinner with my parents today and can't be late, as I told them I'd visit your hometown for New Year's."

Shen Qiang laughed, "Go ahead, I'm fine here without anyone else."

With that, Shen Qiang rushed upstairs, full of excitement.

Only then did he discover the building was completely empty. Upon seeing the holiday notice posted, Shen Qiang realized that the research department was on a half-month break for the Spring Festival, with only caretakers for the lab animals scheduled to work.

This was perfect.

Shen Qiang took the keys and headed upstairs.

Reaching the third floor.

He went to the rodent breeding room.

Took several mice from a female caretaker.

Then walked into the laboratory.

"Just wait for me outside. If you're hungry, get yourself something to eat. There's public network access, feel free to use it if you're bored." With that, Shen Qiang shut both Ye Guyun and Ke Bizhu outside.

The two were astonished.

Meanwhile.

Sealed inside the laboratory, Shen Qiang's eyes gleamed terrifyingly.

"Botulinum toxin is used in beauty because it can block nerve impulses between nerves and muscles, relaxing overly contracted small muscles, thereby achieving wrinkle removal. Or it temporarily paralyzes muscles, causing them to atrophy from not being used, thus achieving contouring — what is usually known as wrinkle removal and face slimming."

"This characteristic is similar to that of Condensed Jade Dew, whose most notable effect is to reshape contours and remove wrinkles."

With eyes shining terrifyingly, Shen Qiang stared at the mice in the box, his eyes incredibly sharp.

"And now, I have botulinum toxin evolved to the extreme, so as long as I can find the one most suitable for beauty to replace Condensed Jade Dew, concoct it with other medicines, and refine it, if successful, I won't just get the Timeless Beauty Pill, I can also mass-produce it. Not only will all the women around me have a share, but I can also sell it or exchange it for magical treasures, secret manuals, or other useful items when needed."

Shen Qiang's eyes shone even brighter.

Almost in tandem with Shen Qiang's thoughts, the Plague Source in his Sea of Consciousness extended a sprig with a peculiar sound, releasing a form of botulinum toxin evolved to its limit.

"Dad, dad, this one is most suitable for beauty."

Upon hearing the Plague Source's voice, Shen Qiang smiled, his eyes shining spectacularly.

"Great, then let's start refining now, my very own botulinum version of the Timeless Beauty Pill!"
