CHAPTER 161: CHAPTER 89: SIGNS OF A NEW REALITY ERA (5.4)_3

Let’s see if we can bring some people to the martial arts school for testing, indirectly reducing some investment costs on equipment.

Nowadays.

It’s been about two weeks, we’ve had over a dozen drinking sessions, managed to close deals with two companies.

Negotiation on the price with one company is ongoing.

There’s potential interest from two more companies.

The rest is just laughter at the table, but the day after drinking, they start to beat around the bush and avoid the topic.

In the end, it all comes down to "screw them."

"Damn them!" The owner gets angry thinking about these people, "If they don’t agree, just say so. But they keep promising things they don’t intend to deliver, making me lose interest, yet they keep inviting me out for drinks.

I figured, it’s no big deal to drink with them, we’d all have fun, but they keep discussing business over drinks?

Afterwards, they deny it, saying their company doesn’t agree.

Why are these people so annoying? I don’t know what’s going on in their heads, trying to take advantage endlessly."

"Then just don’t go." Master Wang, uninterested in outside affairs, scratches an itch in his neck, "Block their calls, and use your line from before, damn them."

"You’re not the one responsible." The owner sighs, "What if it works out? We could reduce our burden.

You see all those machines we have, Master Zhang’s brought in so much money, we have to share some of the responsibility, right?

I don’t know anything, except drinking, so that’s the only way I can contribute.

You can’t expect me to teach the students."

"Uh..." Master Wang stops scratching, "But it wouldn’t be impossible, how about... next time I handle the drinks, and you teach the students?"

They were just discussing this.

Zhang Feng arrives with Dr. Wu.

There are five doctors and a nurse standing by the door.

"Grandmaster Zhang."

In front of outsiders.

The owner refers to Zhang Feng as ’Grandmaster,’ it’s a form of mutual respect, the title is earned through others’ recognition.

"My hearing is good." Zhang Feng glanced at the owner, "If the business talks don’t work out, let them be. Next time if someone calls, either hang up or tell them to call me.

Whatever they take from you, I’ll make them account for it.

I know a guy, his name is King Snake, he said in business, you should talk about integrity."

"Grandmaster Zhang." The owner feels very touched seeing Zhang backing him up, but fears it might cause trouble, so he hesitantly waves his hand to signal it’s enough.

"Who is this person?" Dr. Wu, now fully standing by Dr. Zhang, wanting to speak up when seeing Zhang’s people being bullied.

"Thank you, Dean Wu!" The owner’s fondness for Dr. Wu increases greatly.

"Just keep it in mind, we won’t discuss it today." Zhang Feng’s focus is now on the medicinal materials, he quickly shifts the topic,

"Let’s put the medicine down first."

"Alright..." The doctors and nurse outside enter and put down the bags of medication they were carrying.

"The reason I called you over is because I felt these things are something you should hear."

Zhang Feng didn’t say more and started explaining how these prescriptions should be prepared and brewed.

This counts as the first time discussing the prescriptions, Zhang Feng wanted it to have a ceremonial feeling, so he invited the owner and Master Wang to listen in.

After explaining everything.

Because it was just usual concoction and formulation, there wasn’t anything particularly wondrous.

"Are these prescriptions for martial arts training?" Master Wang asks at this point, not even knowing the specific purpose of the prescriptions.

"Yes." Zhang Feng was about to answer, but suddenly hesitated.

Because Zhang Feng initially wanted to showcase a technique of Dark Force, before explaining that these prescriptions are meant for Dark Force.

But now the fascia strength is not sufficient.

After all, the prescriptions haven’t been properly prepared yet.

Similarly, the main effect of these prescriptions is to enhance fascia strength so that the released Powerful Qi doesn’t harm oneself.

It essentially strengthens the skin’s defense, akin to Hard Qigong.

Secondly, it boosts the constitution.

And currently, while Zhang Feng’s constitution is high, martial arts Hard Qigong training hasn’t been long, the Powerful Qi physical training hasn’t matured, and finally lacking prescriptions, the Dark Force is only just beginning.

So when Master Wang asks.

Zhang Feng realized there were many areas he needed to improve.

Claiming only resonance and transforming qi physical training.

In truth, several areas also needed training, and all required major improvements.

’Even if the prescriptions aren’t completed, training these methods for seven days will

also increase my constitution to around 48.

Seven days, 7 points.

Adding toughness, should be able to unleash Dark Force.’

Thinking to himself, Zhang Feng tells the waiting owner and others, "Let’s start preparing the medicine first."

...

In the days that followed.

Zhang Feng stayed in the hospital, focused on brewing the transforming qi prescriptions.

Apart from Dr. Wu and a few others.

Zhang Feng didn’t gather more helpers or medical experts.

Since it’s entirely new practice, new medication properties, having them wouldn’t help; they might not believe it, adding unnecessary trouble.

Anyways, the manpower is sufficient now.

Zhang Feng solely focuses on preparing the medication to keep things peaceful.

Once brewed, witnessed the actual effects of the medicine, let others replicate, research, and develop new solutions.

On the third day, however.

There appeared a minor issue in the brewing.

One type of scarce medication began running low.

Though Dr. Wu contacted a familiar hospital for some, it would only last for a day.

Thus.

Zhang Feng called the owner, sending people to all city pharmacies for a sweep.

With this sweep, everything was enough.

Because the prescription didn’t require valuable or rare medications.

Likewise, since Zhang Feng aims to promote it, getting more people to practice.

Inevitably these medications should be common drugs.

Even if there were indeed some precious drugs within the prescription.

Zhang Feng relied on his own knowledge, breaking down the drug properties and replicating them with mixed medications.

Though the medicinal effects might not match the original drug’s, close enough, right?

At most, the original formula achieves 0.1 constitution per portion.

Then the replicated compound formula achieves around 0.06.

The difference isn’t much; if necessary, eat more to compensate.

Consuming two portions as one brings the efficacy up.

Otherwise, if following the original prescription.

Like with Centennial Ginseng, Centennial Lingzhi, you’ll have to search globally.

Even then, not much will be found.

This just won’t allow large-scale promotion.

Which is contrary to Zhang Feng’s intentions.

...

On the morning of the fourth day.

The medicine was finished, brewing twelve doses in this batch.

Zhang Feng kept half for them to reference and analyze, then took the remaining six doses home.

By the evening of the fifth day.

Zhang Feng sent a message, inviting the owner and others to the hospital.

At nine p.m. now.

The owner, Master Wang, Dr. Wu, and several other doctors have gathered.

Blub-blub-blub~

Inside, several medicine pots are steaming.

"I understand everyone’s curious about what’s been brewed lately."

At this moment.

Zhang Feng looks at the crowd’s puzzled faces, gently running his hand over a ten-centimeter thick bluestone brick.

Swipe-swipe-swipe—

The bluestone brick seems hit by bullets, its internal structure collapsing, instantly splitting into two pieces.

Zhang Feng retracts his hand, glancing at the shocked crowd,

"This formula and training method, named transforming qi, along with the practice I mastered, the medicine you all brewed these last few days, they might redefine an era’s path.

Tonight, you, like me, are the first witnesses of this new era."
