Chapter 86 The Promotion of the Beauty-Enhancing Pill

Hearing what Lin Li said, Xia Ningshuang could not help feeling rather speechless.

This fellow clearly had better ways to help her solve the problem.

Instead, he insisted on making her endure it. Whoever it was would probably find it hard to be happy about that.

Yet when Xia Ningshuang looked at herself in the mirror, her heart leapt with delight.

She had never imagined that the medicine would work so perfectly.

Although the scars on her face were still there, she believed that after a few more courses, they could be completely erased.

For Xia Ningshuang, this was nothing less than heavenly news.

“Could there really be such miraculous medicine in this world?”

Even now, she still found it unbelievable.

Lin Li could only smile and shake his head beside her.

“I knew this would be hard for you to understand, but that is the truth.”

“Though many people may not be able to accept it, in practice it is actually simpler than we thought.”

During this period, in order to help Xia Ningshuang prepare this ointment, Lin Li had also put in a great deal of effort, and at the same time he had cultivated the inner method of the Southern Border secret arts.

Unlike the Two Instruments Blade Technique, whose greater purpose was to display such techniques in combat so that Lin Li could better defeat his opponents, the inner method of the Southern Border secret arts was a cultivation art called Radiant of All Spirits.

At first, Lin Li found it very difficult to learn.

It was like those stories in which the protagonist, without guidance from an expert, is suddenly enlightened in an instant.

But little by little, relying on his own unique understanding, Lin Li grasped the secrets of the inner method bit by bit.

And once he had mastered those secrets, everything became much easier.

He could clearly feel within his body a tangible mass of vital energy taking shape.

This was also an inevitable step for the series of actions Lin Li intended to carry out.

Whether it was using gu techniques to control parasitic insects, or using gu techniques to perform acupuncture for healing or killing, all of it required the use of vital energy.

Lin Li had originally thought this process would still be extremely difficult, but he had not expected it to go far more smoothly than he imagined.

The inner method had eight levels in all, each divided into early, middle, and late stages.

Breaking through each level was no simple matter.

At the beginning, it was naturally quite easy.

Especially once Lin Li had grasped the key, he managed to fully master the first level of the inner method in just one night.

But when he tried to advance from the first level to the second, the difficulty increased exponentially.

Even though Lin Li had prepared himself in advance, it still took a great deal of time.

At last, he had raised the inner method to the middle stage of the second level.

Even so, he still felt that the road ahead would be far more difficult than he had imagined.

“The pill has been successfully refined. After some further adjustment, we can begin to spread it.”

“It’s just that I still don’t know whether this pill will be well received in River City.”

That was the only thing Lin Li was uncertain about right now.

“If it had been before, I might not have been fully confident either. But after trying it myself, I can say with certainty that this pill will become wildly popular.”

The principle behind the beauty-restoring pill was very simple: there were parasitic insects inside it that were invisible to the naked eye.

Under ordinary circumstances, these insects would not harm the human body at all; in fact, they were beneficial, much like probiotics.

And because these insects fed on the scab over the scar, a little stimulation was enough to make them begin devouring it.

Then, with the aid of other medicines, the scar could soon be made to fade away.

Of course, this also had much to do with differences in individual constitutions.

But at least for Xia Ningshuang, all of this was real, and it gave her a glimmer of hope that her appearance might be restored.

It had to be admitted that Lin Li was far more formidable than she had imagined.

Things that others could not do, Lin Li could accomplish, and with far less effort than she had expected.

She had originally believed that she would likely never regain her former appearance in this lifetime, yet now it seemed restoration was possible after all.

After the experiment with Xia Ningshuang succeeded, Lin Li immediately refined another batch.

These pills had different effects, and he used the Qin family’s social prestige and standing to gather a group of volunteers.

Naturally, before the experiment, he had already explained to them all the possible consequences the pills might bring.

But most of these people had already been tormented to the point of utter misery by their scars. At such a moment, hearing that there was a way to remove the scars from their bodies, they certainly would not hesitate.

For them, as long as they could still live, there was nothing to fear.

Lin Li admired them sincerely as well, but the most urgent task was still to perfect the pill’s effects; beyond that, the other matters were not nearly as important.

Thus, as the days passed one by one, Lin Li’s plan gradually moved forward.

The experiment was a great success. He confirmed that the pill’s effects were remarkably significant and of great help to patients of any constitution.

After that, Lin Li immediately began promoting it.

During the process, he also exchanged for a lottery draw in the system.

Originally, he had wanted to obtain some rewards from the system and then put them into practice.

Unexpectedly, perhaps because Lin Li’s luck had been too good before, the results this time were terribly disappointing.

Every single one was only a consolation prize.

In the end, the only thing that made Lin Li happy was a land deed.

He had actually been wondering where he ought to open his shop.

Now that the deed was in hand, there was naturally no need to think so much. He could simply act at once.

...

“Recently, the Qin family has certainly been making a lot of noise.”

“I heard that Lin Li even developed a special pill, with remarkably strong effects. It can also remove scars from the face, and it has been welcomed by many people.”

At this moment, Ye Aotian was at the Ning household.

After hearing what Ye Aotian said, Ning Yurou merely smiled faintly, though she was still somewhat surprised inwardly.

Even though Lin Li had already prepared her for it beforehand, when his pill was officially promoted, it still left her astonished.

Who would have thought this fellow possessed such a formidable medical formula? No wonder he had behaved so calmly and lightly before.

Come to think of it, it would probably be very difficult for anyone else to be as complacent and arrogant as Lin Li.

“I know about this matter.”

Ning Yurou understood what Ye Aotian wanted to ask, so she did not evade the subject.

“Yurou, I want to know what you are thinking now. Do you want us to step in and deal with them?”
