Chapter Eighty-two: Preparations Complete

  Two loud gunshots rang out, and bullets hit the rear windshield of the car. However, the glass only cracked but was not penetrated.

  Song Jian started the car and felt a sense of relief in his heart. With this armored vehicle, he indeed felt much safer.

  Zhou Tong was frightened and bowed his head, unable to understand why he had lived for over 20 years without incident, but in the week or so since being with Song Jian, he had already experienced two shootings.

  There was still a dragon might in his arms, Song Jian was not afraid, although there was a dragon might, Song Jian had only one bullet left, he did not want to waste this last dragon might bullet on Ge Yunhu behind him.

  As long as he refined the Tempering Bone Pill, Song Jian would have a chance to fight back. By then, Song Jian wouldn't be worried anymore.

  Behind him, Ge Yunhu saw Song Jian wanting to escape, he suddenly lifted the wheel, the motorcycle was single-wheeled on the ground, rumbling and coming over. When it got close, Ge Yunhu suddenly did a somersault, flying out very far, "Bang" landing on Ding Jie's car, then he kicked his feet hard again, jumping out from Ding Jie's Cadillac, like an eagle grabbing towards Song Jian's Range Rover.

  "With a 'crack', Ding Jie's car roof was actually dented in by a large chunk, and this was still the reinforced roof of his luxury car. If it were an ordinary car roof, it would have been completely unable to withstand Ge Yunhu's jump."

  "Boom!"

  The carriage sped away quickly, and Ge Yunhu fell behind it, unable to catch up.

  "My god!"

  Ge Yunhu was enraged and swung his fist at a poplar tree as thick as a man's arm by the side of the road, with a loud cracking sound, the tree suddenly snapped in two at its trunk.

  Ding Jie and Xiao Han, along with the migrant workers, were all stunned on the spot. Finally, Ding Jie came to, let out a loud wail, quickly got into the car, and fled for his life.

  The rest, including Xiao Han and Qin Hua Yu, also got on the bus. This scene, which can only be seen in movies and TV dramas, they witnessed with their own eyes today, of course, they were scared, drove away immediately, all of them left quickly.

  Ge Yunhu put away his gun and didn't bother with the others, seeing Song Jian escape, he could only curse in hatred, then picked up his motorcycle and left.

  Song Jian drove a Land Rover all-terrain vehicle, speeding along the way, and soon entered Gusu City from Wuxi City.

  First, Zhou Tong was sent back home, and then Song Jian rushed to Jinxiu's home.

  He stopped the car and entered the house, putting his backpack on the bed. Song Jian then quickly began preparing to refine the Bone Tempering Pill.

  The other hundred or so medicinal materials have all been prepared, the golden iron lotus has also arrived, and the Huagucao has been dug up. What's left is to process the medicinal materials, forge the dan furnace, and prepare for alchemy.

  The refining cauldron for Tempering Bone Pill is different from the one for Washing Marrow Pill. The refinement of Washing Marrow Pill emphasizes slowness, requiring the gradual extraction of the medicinal properties from the herbs. However, Tempering Bone Pill emphasizes intensity, aiming to concentrate the medicinal properties into a pill in an instant. Moreover, it cannot be stored and must be consumed within half an hour after refining; otherwise, once the toxicity of Huagucao is fully unleashed, Tempering Bone Pill becomes a deadly poison.

  Song Jian ignored the fatigue of his journey and immediately began drawing a diagram of the alchemical furnace on the table.

  A figure pushed open Song Jian's door and walked in. The other party didn't even knock, no need to think, Song Jian knew the person was his aunt Xia Lin.

  Xia Lin wore tight leggings, a leather miniskirt on her butt, and a fitted warm top. She stepped on the cotton slippers and tiptoed to Song Jian's back.

  "Hey, uncle! What are you doing?! Are you writing a love letter?! You come home and don't even greet us sisters, just stick your head on the table and keep writing away, so infatuated!" Xia Lin placed her hands on Song Jian's shoulders, patting his back.

  Song Jian didn't understand, this little girl was probably at the age of thinking about love and romance.

  "Let me see, oh, you're still drawing, but Uncle, what are you drawing? Are you drawing a new house?" Xia Lin leaned in close, her face almost touching Song Jian's ear, and her whole body was pressed against his back.

  "Bang bang bang"

  The door creaked open, and it was Xu Si standing at the entrance. Seeing Xia Lin hiding behind Song Jian's back with her little butt sticking out, Xu Si felt a slight discomfort in his heart.

  "Sister, come and see, the uncle is writing a love letter to someone else, and he's even drawing," Xia Lin said to Xu Si, she didn't leave Song Jian's back, still leaning on his shoulder.

  Song Jian quickly turned back and explained: "I am drawing a blueprint."

  Xu Si walked over and slapped Xia Lin's butt, "Get up quickly, you're a big girl of almost twenty years old, what kind of state are you in."

  Xia Lin let go of Song Jian's shoulder and stuck out her tongue at Xu Si.

  Xu Si looked at the drawing paper painted by Song Jian and asked: "Have you found what you need?"

  "Found it," Song Jian added the final stroke and said: "Oh, right, has Ge Yunhu come to harass you guys recently?"

  Xu Si shook his head, "Grandfather said that Ge Yunhu's target is you, they attach importance to avenging their names, you killed his brother, he will definitely come to kill you, Grandfather also reminded you to be careful."

  Song Jian let out a sigh of relief when he heard this. He put away the drawings and said, "As long as you're safe, I'll be at ease. I'm going to go take care of some things, might be back late."

  He put away his drawings, Song Jian changed into a new set of clothes and then went out.

  Xia Lin glanced at Xu Si, smiling and saying: "Sister-in-law, your uncle is still quite gentle with you, 'As long as you're safe, I'll be at ease.' Wow, that sounds really good."

  Xu Si gave Xia Lin a glance, "Hurry up and do your homework, if you fail any subjects during the winter break exams, I'll make sure to tell Auntie and Uncle."

  Xia Lin shrugged and left reluctantly.

  Song Jian went out of the house and first called Ma De Shui to tell him that he needed his help again to forge a stove.

  Ma De agreed with a nod.

  When they arrived at Ma De's place, Song Jian handed the drawings to the technician from last time. The so-called technician was actually just a rural young man who understood a bit of culture. After Song Jian explained it to him for a while, the young man repeatedly agreed and promised to work overtime and deliver the goods in two days.

  After handing over the tripod furnace, Ma De Shui pulled Song Jian's hand and said: "Song Shen Yi, I really want to thank you for what happened last time."

  Song Jian knew that Ma De Shui was referring to the last time the Tianda Group hired thugs to cause trouble, and if it wasn't for him and Li Mengya appearing in time, this work team would have been destroyed.

  "It's nothing, Director Ma, have those people been dealt with?" Song Jian asked.

  Ma De shook his head, sighed and said: "It's just a trivial matter, three young thugs were sentenced to life imprisonment, and that's it. Everyone knows it was the Tian Da Group's doing, but unfortunately they have connections upstairs. Oh well, fortunately heaven has eyes, the Golden Phoenix explosion killed Lin Bao."

  Song Jian just smiled and bid farewell.

  After bidding farewell to Ma De Shui, Song Jian came to the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory again. The personnel of the Red Star Pharmaceutical Factory have not changed much today, and of course, the real boss has become Song Jian.

  When he saw Liu Dachun, Song Jian asked: "The medicinal materials I let you purchase last time, have they all been received?"

  "We've all received them," Liu Dachun chuckled, a retired soldier who had been stationed in the coastal area and had his skin tanned dark by the sea breeze, with only two rows of pearly white teeth on his entire face.

  "Alright, next we need to process them. This is the quantity and this is the processing method. You quickly organize people to process according to the method, two days later, I want the processed product." Song Jian handed Liu Dachun a specification sheet.

  Liu Dachun may not understand traditional Chinese medicine, but he is still very familiar with the processing of traditional Chinese medicine, after all, he has been the director of a traditional Chinese medicine factory for so long.

  Song Jian patted Liu Dachun's shoulder, then had someone open up a special room behind the pharmaceutical factory, where they bought all sorts of equipment needed for alchemy.

  After all this, it was already very late.

  Back home, Song Jian lay exhausted on the sofa, this trip was really tiring.

  Xu Si sat on the sofa, holding a white plastic bottle in one hand and slapping her face with the other.

  "You go take a bath first, I'll heat up some food and rice for you," Xu Si said, putting down the plastic bottle.

  "Hmm, what did you take?" Song Jian asked.

  "A touch of white, our company's product." Xu Si smiled brightly at Song Jian, looking like a celestial being.

  Song Jian listened to this and stood up, took the small bottle, opened it and smelled it. "Hmm, looks like it's not bad, much better than the cosmetics used by the concubines in the imperial palace back then."

  Xu Si smiled slightly, "How can it compare with the imperial court's royal medicine? The price alone is incomparable."

  Song Jian put down the plastic bottle, "Can it be produced now?"

  "Yes, after solving the last problem of saving Astragalus membranaceus, the production process went very smoothly. Oh, this batch produced only a few dozen bottles, and I was just asking Xia Lin to take them over for her classmates to try out and see how they work." Xu Si was very happy, as the project he had been preparing for more than a year finally had results.

  "So, it will be listed next year," Song Jian said, "Yes, the effect of this product is definitely very good. In the first year, excluding huge advertising expenses, making 30 million is no problem. In the second year, you can make 60 million, and in the third year..."

  Xu Si stood up and said: "It's time to change varieties in the third year. The speed of piracy in Huaxia is world-class."

  Song Jian also burst out laughing, "In that case, isn't it still far from meeting your grandfather's requirements?"

  Xu Si was taken aback, she looked at Song Jian, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a few threads of joy. "Song Jian, you're doing all this just to earn enough to reach the 1.6 billion standard set by your grandfather? Actually, you don't have to be so serious... hmm, since I've already... hmm, I won't change."

  After finishing speaking, Xu Si lowered her head and quickly walked towards the kitchen to heat up food for Song Jian.

  Song Jianyang let out a sigh on the sofa, he didn't think about how much money to make, nor did he want to reach Xu Haitian's standard. Song Jian just didn't want to make things difficult for Xu Si, didn't want his fiancée of this life to get hurt. Making money had no attraction to Song Jian, it was just that refining medicine required a lot of funds, and without money, Xu Si would be in trouble, and without money, the descendants of the Song family would not be able to stand up straight. That's all.

  "Finally able to take a bath," Song Jian stood up and walked towards the bathroom.
