"Is there anything else?"

The big boss raised an eyebrow slightly, and the attention of all the generals in the conference room was once again drawn to him.

They simply couldn't think of anything more important than this already legendary force.

Su Chen didn't keep them in suspense; he calmly continued his report.

"During the three months of training the troops, I also made some attempts at alchemy using the medicinal resources provided by the state, and achieved some results."

Alchemy?

The moment those two words were uttered, the atmosphere in the conference room became somewhat strange.

Those present were all staunch materialists, and even more so, soldiers who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood. They instinctively felt a sense of rejection towards things so heavily influenced by feudal superstition.

If it weren't for Su Chen saying this, some generals would probably be slamming their fists on the table.

"Nonsense!"

Su Hongjun spoke first, his brow furrowed, and he rebuked in a deep voice: "Xiao Chen, the country entrusted Kunlun to you, not to do those vague and unrealistic things! Your task is to train troops, to fight!"

The old man was genuinely angry, fearing that his exceptionally talented grandson might follow the wrong path of ancient sorcerers and magicians.

Faced with his grandfather's reprimand, Su Chen simply shook his head calmly.

"Grandpa, don't worry."

He carefully took out several small jade bottles carved from top-grade Hetian jade from his pocket and gently placed them in the center of the conference table.

"The pills I refine are not for immortality, but for practical use."

"The first type is the Healing Pill, which I have already reported to you all before. It can quickly repair internal and external injuries and remove chronic ailments."

"The second type," Su Chen paused, looking at each of the white-haired old generals present, and said, word by word, "I call it the Longevity Pill."

Longevity pill?!

Even the generals present, with their strong will, felt their hearts skip a beat when they heard those three words.

"Nonsense!" General Lin, another founding father and also a general standing next to Su Hongjun, slammed his fist on the table. "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws; how can a few pills reverse them? Su Chen, you've disappointed us greatly!"

Although the other generals remained silent, their expressions of doubt and disapproval were palpable.

They had spent their lives on the battlefield, weathering countless storms, yet they were most wary of such empty promises.

Throughout history, countless heroes and emperors have fallen victim to this.

Despite facing doubts from a group of bigwigs, Su Chen remained calm.

He knew that any linguistic explanation would be inadequate.

He picked up two of the jade bottles and walked up to his grandfather, Su Hongjun.

"Grandpa, one is a healing pill, and the other is a longevity pill."

Looking at the jade bottle handed to him by his grandson, and then at his clear and calm eyes, Su Hongjun felt his anger dissipate considerably.

He knows his grandson well; he's not one to speak without reason.

Could it be... that such a divine object truly exists in this world?

"These old bones of mine have been through countless battles, and the hidden injuries I've sustained are more numerous than the salt you've eaten. Can this healing pill really work?" Su Hongjun picked up the jade bottle containing the healing pill and sniffed it.

A strange, refreshing fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and he immediately felt a sense of lightness throughout his body. Even his shoulder periarthritis, which had plagued him for many years, seemed to have eased somewhat.

"Whether it works or not, you'll know once you try it." Su Chen's tone was full of confidence.

Seeing this, the other leaders also held their breath.

They all knew about Su Hongjun's health condition; it was the result of countless military medals he had earned. He had dozens of ailments, both major and minor, and the expert team at the military region's general hospital was helpless to help him.

Under everyone's gaze, Su Hongjun glanced at Su Chen, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Fine! I'll swallow my pride and test the authenticity of this elixir for you today!"

Without further hesitation, he uncorked the bottle and swallowed the crimson healing pill.

There was no reaction at first after the pill was taken into the stomach.

Su Hongjun was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed!

A scorching heat, like magma, exploded from his lower abdomen and instantly surged to his limbs and bones!

"Hmm!"

The old man groaned, veins bulging on his forehead, and his body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

He felt as if an invisible hand was tearing and churning the old wounds in his body that had been dormant for decades, and then using an incomparably domineering life force to repair and reshape them!

Everyone was shocked. General Lin jumped to his feet, pointing at Su Chen and shouting angrily, "Su Chen! What did you feed your grandfather?!"

However, Su Chen simply stood there calmly and said indifferently, "Grandpa, bear with it, and you will be rebuilt after the destruction."

No sooner had he finished speaking than an astonishing scene unfolded.

All that could be seen was that from the pores of Su Hongjun's body surface, layers of black, foul-smelling, viscous liquid were seeping out!

Those were chronic toxins that had accumulated in his body for decades!

This process lasted a full five minutes.

As the burning sensation gradually subsided and transformed into a warm, gentle current, Su Hongjun slowly opened his eyes.

He moved his body somewhat blankly, first moving his right arm, which ached so much on rainy days that he couldn't lift it, and then trying to twist his injured lumbar vertebra.

Smooth, incredibly smooth!

There was absolutely no soreness or stiffness!

He could even feel a long-lost, powerful force that he had only possessed in his youth, surging forth continuously from the depths of his bones!

"This...this..."

Su Hongjun stared at his hands in shock, his face filled with disbelief.

What shocked everyone present even more was the change in his appearance!

His face, which was etched with the lines of time, was now visibly rosy and full, and even his gray hair had started to show traces of black at the roots!

He seemed to have become at least five years younger out of nowhere!

This is not over yet.

Su Chen then handed over the longevity pill.

"Grandpa, this one can add ten years to your life."

With the groundwork laid earlier, Su Hongjun did not hesitate at all this time and swallowed the pill that exuded a strong life force.

boom!

This time, it wasn't scorching heat, but a vast and boundless life energy, like a boundless ocean, washing over every single cell of his body!

All the generals present witnessed firsthand what "time travel" truly means!

Su Hongjun's full head of silver hair turned jet black from root to tip at an alarming speed!

Age spots and wrinkles on the face fade and disappear rapidly, as if erased by an eraser!

In just one minute, the radiance faded.

Where was the frail and elderly Su Hongjun standing before everyone?

He was clearly a middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion, vigorous spirit, and who looked to be only in his early sixties, in the prime of his life!

The aura emanating from him, the imposing presence of a founding father, combined with the renewed vigor of returning to his peak, created a terrifying aura that made one's heart tremble!

Dead silence.

The entire conference room was deathly silent.

All the generals seemed to be frozen in place, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit an egg, their eyes bulging, staring intently at the "rejuvenated" Su Hongjun.

"I...my God..." General Lin stammered, pointing at Su Hongjun, unable to finish a single sentence.

next second.

Everyone's reaction was surprisingly consistent.

They all stood up abruptly, their eyes burning as they stared intently at the remaining bottles of pills on the table!

That was no longer a pill.

That's a living lifespan! It's the hope of returning to youth! It's a miracle that could drive any emperor mad!

"Su Chen... no, Colonel Su!" General Lin was the first to rush over. He grabbed Su Chen's hand, his voice trembling with excitement, "Then... is there still any of that longevity pill?!"

"Ahem!"

The big boss coughed heavily twice, forcibly maintaining his dignity, but his equally burning eyes had already betrayed his inner desires.

Su Chen smiled slightly and pushed the remaining jade bottles one by one in front of the leaders.

"Dear leaders, everyone gets a share."

At this moment, he used a few small pills to firmly bind the highest levels of the Dragon Kingdom's military to his and Kunlun's future.

This is his most unbreakable protective shield!
