Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!
Chapter 57 Technological Alchemy
Xin Lu blushed instantly and quickly waved her hands to explain:
"No, no, you've misunderstood."
I took a beauty pill that a friend gave me, and it worked so well.
"What beauty pill? What is that?"
Su Manyun raised an eyebrow, intrigued.
"It's a white pill. He said it's called a beauty pill. It can not only beautify and nourish your skin, but also restore your skin to the condition of an infant!"
To be honest, I didn't believe it at the time either. I thought, how could a mere pill have such an effect?
My friend said I could try it first and pay only if it worked, so I gave it a try.
As a result, I don't even need foundation anymore.
Su Manyun's eyes widened instantly, and her body involuntarily leaned forward:
"Where can I buy this elixir? I want to buy some too."
"But this price is a bit expensive..."
Xin Lu looked troubled.
How expensive can a beauty pill be?
"I spent over two million on a facelift last time."
Su Manyun smiled nonchalantly, picked up her teacup, and took another sip.
Xin Lu was silent for two seconds:
"One, two hundred million."
Su Manyun's hand, which was holding the teacup, froze in mid-air.
Two hundred million!
She is rich, but she is not stupid.
This amount is enough to buy several floors of office space in the city center.
She put down her teacup, her smile fading slightly, and her tone becoming more cautious:
"Two hundred million per pill?"
Lulu, you're not kidding me, are you?
"When I first heard this price, my reaction was exactly the same as yours; I thought it was a joke."
Xin Lu gave a wry smile and pointed to her face.
"But my face is the best proof."
Sister Manyun, think about it. If you get a facelift, it costs more than two million yuan each time. How many years can that last?
I'll have to go back in two years, and the more I try to talk to them, the more stiff their expressions become.
This beauty pill works instantly and permanently.
No surgery required, no recovery period needed, and no regular maintenance required.
"Do the math. The money you've spent on your face has probably exceeded this amount long ago, hasn't it?"
Su Manyun fell silent.
Xin Lu's words touched on her sore spot.
The money she's spent on her face over the years, in small amounts, has indeed amounted to an astronomical figure, but what about the results?
The more you fill in your chin, the sharper it becomes; the more you fill in your cheekbones, the more unnatural they look
Last time I attended my daughter's parent-teacher conference, her classmate whispered from behind, "Is that her grandma or her mom?"
Upon hearing this, she almost burst into tears in the auditorium.
Her daughter was so ashamed that she wouldn't let her participate in school activities anymore!
If her daughter already dislikes her, what about her husband? He must be even more tired of looking at her by now!
Thinking of this, Su Manyun raised her head, the hesitation in her eyes being gradually eroded by a stronger desire:
"You just said that I could try it first and pay only if it worked?"
"Yes! But I have to go back and ask if he still has any left; this stuff seems to be in high demand!"
Su Manyun stared at Xin Lu's face for several seconds, then finally took a deep breath, took out a business card from her Hermès bag, and pushed it in front of Xin Lu:
"Lulu, I'm begging you to do this."
Please ask around for me. I really want it. If it's effective, I'm willing to pay extra!
Xin Lu picked up the business card, put it in her bag, and smiled slightly.
"Okay, I'll ask for you when I get back."
"Okay, by the way, ask him if he has any pills to repair that place..."
"Of course it's not that I want to buy it; I'm asking on behalf of a friend."
"Okay, I'll ask them together later!"
……
Lin Mo and Su Qing drove straight to the chemical consumables market on the outskirts of the city.
This was his first time here, but he already had a list in his mind.
Three stainless steel pressure cookers, six sets of glass condenser tubes of different diameters, two induction cookers with digital temperature control, three ceramic mortars, and a number of miscellaneous items such as separatory funnels, measuring cups, and stirring rods.
The most difficult aspect of ancient alchemy was controlling the heat.
Those Taoist priests would guard the alchemy furnace for days and nights at a time. If they were not careful, the furnace would explode and the elixir would be destroyed. The reason was simple: they did not have thermometers and relied entirely on experience.
But things are different now. Induction cookers come with built-in digital temperature control with an accuracy of ±1℃. Combined with the stable pressure environment of a pressure cooker, it's like smoothing out the most difficult hurdle in alchemy.
He bought everything he needed, called a delivery truck at the market, and had everything transported to the warehouse.
After the items were moved into the warehouse, Lin Mo called Xin Lu again to ask if the thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old lingzhi had been found.
Xin Lu said it was already on its way and would be delivered in the afternoon.
After hanging up the phone, he went to the nearby Chinese medicine wholesale market and gathered the remaining auxiliary medicines according to the formula of Da Huan Dan in the Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic.
He wasn't really sure if the medicinal properties of the Chinese herbs in the main world could match those of the wild herbs in the first world. Nowadays, all the herbs are artificially cultivated and grown with chemical fertilizers, so who knows how much medicinal power they still have.
When Xin Lu personally delivered the medicinal herbs in the afternoon, she also brought some good news.
She took out her phone and showed Lin Mo the balance of the company account: two hundred million, a full two hundred million.
Then she recounted what had happened that afternoon:
She took the beauty pill to see Su Manyun. After the wealthy woman took it on the spot, the nasolabial folds and fine lines around her eyes disappeared at a visible speed, her cheekbones became full again, and her whole face looked at least ten years younger.
Su Manyun looked at herself in the mirror for a good fifteen minutes, and then transferred the money on the spot without saying a word.
Lin Mo looked at the long string of zeros on the screen and couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
After receiving the two hundred million, he asked Xin Lu to exchange one hundred million of it for silver and send it over.
With this money, Lin Mo could directly secure the position of commander of a thousand households, and at the same time, he could find a way to replace the county magistrate with one of his own.
After Xin Lu left, Lin Mo asked Su Qing to lower the roll-up door of the warehouse. He took a deep breath and began refining pills.
When the pressure cooker is plugged in, the digital display screen lights up with blue numbers.
He added the prepared medicinal herbs in proportion, set the temperature gradient, first brought it to a boil over high heat, then simmered it over low heat, and controlled the pressure at 1.8 atmospheres.
The liquid medicine dripped slowly from the glass condenser tube, while the rotary evaporator hummed as it separated the excess water.
Extraction, concentration, and condensation are all completed in one go.
