Chapter 84: Plans (3rd Update)
"Red Maple Fruit?"
"Could it really be Red Maple Fruit?"
Deep surprise emerged in Lin Mo's indifferent starry eyes.
Then, with one leap, Lin Mo reached a place not far away that looked like a red forest.
At a glance, this red forest was at least a thousand acres in size.
"Excellent!"
A fierce joy appeared on Lin Mo's cold face.
When on Yundian Mountain, the Vast Universe Technique Lin Mo obtained included not only Martial Arts cultivation techniques but also an alchemy technique, the Nine Reversions Pill Making Technique.
In the Nine Reversions Pill Making Technique, it was clearly recorded that the substances contained in the Red Maple Fruit had very peculiar effects.
If refined, they could be turned into Eternal Youth Pills and Hundred Spirit Pills.
The former might sound exaggerated; however, when the finished elixir was used regularly, it could make the skin sustain its smoothness, tenderness, and even appear younger.
The Hundred Spirit Pills also possessed miraculous effects. Unless it was a terminal disease, taking one could strengthen the body, activate the circulation, and make a person more vigorous and longer-lived.
Lin Mo's fists clenched slightly, his starry eyes slightly lifted.
At first, the Lin Family was like the sun at high noon, the number one great family in the Imperial City.
However, now they had fallen to a state less than an ordinary third-rate family in Lin City.
In more than a year, or as few as six months, he would definitely place the Lin Family on the summit of the Imperial City again.
And now, it was time to start building his own business empire and power base.
Indeed, Lin Mo was somewhat impatient to start producing a batch of elixirs to bring back to Lin City for testing.
What he thought, he did.
Without delay, Lin Mo then directly had someone find Feng Zhen.
"May I know why Mr. Lin summoned me?"
Feng Zhen looked at the reserved young man standing with his hands behind his back, yet his voice was very polite.
Lin Mo turned to Feng Zhen, pointed to a forest area in front, and said with a light smile, "I offer you a billion for this place, would you sell it?"
"What... a billion?" Feng Zhen was momentarily shocked. He knew that the land belonged to the Feng Family, but it was essentially a wasteland, nowhere near worth a billion.
Yet, here was this young man, starting the bid at a billion, indicating it must have some significant use.
But Feng Zhen had no ulterior motives and instead said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, if you want this land, feel free to use it. You are a lifesaver for our Feng Family. I would feel guilty to take even a penny from you, let alone a billion."
"There's no need for any guilt. I'm giving you a billion not just to buy this land. When I'm away, I hope you can protect these Red Maple Fruits and prevent anyone from picking them," Lin Mo added a bit more seriousness to his voice.
"Alright! If that's the case, Mr. Lin, my Feng Family will gratefully accept this billion! Consider it an acknowledgement of your importance, Mr. Lin. Rest assured, as long as I, Feng Zhen, am here, nobody will damage this land!"
Feng Zhen's assurance was solemn and resolute, for if it was something valued by Lin Mo, from this moment on, he Feng Zhen would protect and guard it well.
Lin Mo nodded, then asked, "By the way, does the Feng Family have any tripod furnaces for making elixirs?"
"Tripod furnace?" Feng Zhen was taken aback and replied with a bitter smile, "It seems that we do not have any."
"Is that so?" Lin Mo's starry eyes blinked slightly.
Just as he was about to think of another solution, Feng Zhen's face lit up with joy and he said, "Oh, Mr. Lin, I remember a friend of mine on Sunset Mountain who loves collecting such furnaces, antiques, and jade artifacts. It seems he has these things! I will go find him right now!"
After saying this, Feng Zhen did not linger and headed down the back mountain.
Approximately half an hour later, Feng Zhen returned.
However, this time, he had a black tripod furnace in his hands.
"Mr. Lin, please take a look, would this furnace suffice?"
Feng Zhen smiled as he handed over the furnace to Lin Mo, having gone through great lengths to purchase it from his friend. It would be a pity if Lin Mo could not use it.
Lin Mo glanced at it briefly, nodded, and said indifferently, "Not bad."
"Well then, Mr. Lin, I will not disturb your elixir making anymore." Feng Zhen said with a respectful laugh, seemingly pleased that the furnace he had painstakingly sought was indeed helpful to Lin Mo.
Lin Mo slightly nodded his head and added, "By the way, please inform everyone that I do not wish to be disturbed while making elixirs."
"Rest assured, Mr. Lin, I guarantee no one will disturb you!"
Lin Mo found an open space and placed the tripod furnace to the side.
Then, he picked about thirty or forty Red Maple Fruits.
The next second, Lin Mo's slender fingers slightly lifted and the Red Maple Fruits inside the furnace, as if encountering a fierce storm, instantly shattered into pieces.
Not only that, they stirred and rolled furiously like converging rivers.
Then, Lin Mo added the Earth Fire Snow Lotus.
In fact, using Red Maple Fruit as an ingredient was enough to produce Eternal Youth Pills and Hundred Spirit Pills, but adding the Earth Fire Snow Lotus enhanced the effect and perfection of the elixirs.
Of course, if mass production was required in the future, a factory and professional staff would be necessary to research and manufacture, requiring the addition of other medicinal materials, which would not be as straightforward as Lin Mo's method.
However, these materials would not be as rare as the Red Maple Fruit, so it was nothing difficult.
Lin Mo's palm extended slightly, creating a blaze of dazzling flames out of nowhere.
Like Samadhi Fire, within an instant, the elixirs inside the furnace started boiling.
About ten minutes later, a strong fragrance of medicine permeated the entire forest.
Eternal Youth Pills and Hundred Spirit Pills were made!
A total of ten pills.
"This is the first step in revitalizing the Lin Family. As for the Murong Family, the vow I made two years ago will not be too far in coming! Just wait. When I, Lin Mo, descend upon your Murong Family, it will be the most trembling day of your lives!"
Lin Mo's cold eyes glimmered with a chilling starlight. Once these elixirs were mass-produced, he was fully confident that they would take Hua Country, and even the world, by storm.
(Note late third update, the fourth might be a bit difficult tonight due to some sudden matters; I apologize, not because I can't write but because I must make a trip to Jiangbei now. Readers with recommendation tickets, please remember to cast them daily for this book, it is very important. Also, the book will maintain four to five updates continuously, and I will keep up the effort. I admit the plot might seem old-fashioned and slow, but progress will speed up soon, with the climax approaching around chapter 200; patient readers will definitely witness the protagonist striking back at the Murong Family.)
