Chapter 110 Bingzhi Xudan

  In the evening, Xu Si and Xia Lin returned home. After dinner, Song Jian said: "Xu Si, I want to discuss something with you."

  Xu Si nodded, put away the bowl and chopsticks, washed her hands, dried them, took off her apron, and sat down on the sofa opposite Song Jian.

  Song Jiandao said: "It's like this, I want to use some money, how much available funds does our company still have?"

  "After thinking for a moment, he said: 'There are still about 350 million funds left. However, the sales of our products are not very good at present, so there is no return on investment. Of course, since we didn't spend money on advertising or finding spokespersons, there haven't been any major investments recently.'"

  "Want a spokesperson? I'm available," Xia Lin chimed in, pointing to her own face. "Look, it's flawless, and I've actually used that one touch of white, it's really good! How about it? Make me a star!"

  Song Jian and Xu Si rolled their eyes at the same time. Xu Si said: "We're talking about serious things, you go read a book quickly."

  "I don't want to read books, I want to write and be a star. Don't worry, I won't charge you for endorsement fees," Xia Lin protested.

  Song Jian didn't hesitate and asked Xia Lin, "Let's put the advertisement on hold for now. Three hundred and fifty million should be enough, can I borrow it from you temporarily?"

  Xu Si and Xia Lin looked at Song Jian together, then Xia Lin said with an unusual certainty: "Sister! Absolutely can't lend! I figured it out, the uncle must have been keeping women outside, and not just one!"

  Xu Si patted Xia Lin's hair with his hand, "Girls are not allowed to talk nonsense, go to your room and do your homework quickly!"

  Xia Lin left with a grievance.

  "Alright, just let me know when you need it and we can transfer the funds through our company's account. This will help increase your credit rating at the bank, making it easier to get a loan in the future."

  Song Jian nodded, seeing that Xu Si didn't ask about his use for the money, he couldn't pretend to be stupid either. He proactively explained: "It's like this, more than 20 million of it I used to buy medicinal materials to treat my body. It's similar to that golden pill you took last time. I need to refine pills like that. As for the remaining money, I plan to open a pharmacy and integrate the pharmaceutical factory at the same time. Since the pharmaceutical factory belongs to our company now, let's rename it 'Si Yuan Pharmaceutical Factory' from now on. This way, with the factory and store united, sales will be much more convenient."

  Song Jian did not mention the outbreak of the plague.

  Xu Si heard that Song Jian's elixir could speed up his recovery, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. He said, "Can those elixirs cure your body? That's great, Song Jian. Is 20 million enough? We can borrow some from Grandpa first."

  Song Jian was slightly moved, he shook his head and said: "I believe it won't be long before our company makes a big profit. Your grandfather's money is not easy to borrow, maybe he will use this as an excuse to break off our engagement."

  Xu sighed.

  Song Jian stood up and said, "Don't worry, everything will be alright."

  Less than a week later, Lv Feng called and told Song Jian that the medicinal materials were all ready and the total price was 25 million.

  Song Jian secretly scolded Lü Feng for being too black-hearted, but there was no other way. To quickly obtain these medicinal materials, he had to rely on Lü Feng's extensive network of connections. If he were to purchase them himself, although the price would be cheaper, he wouldn't know when he could collect all of them.

  Song Jian wasn't worried that Lü Feng would cheat him, so he went ahead and transferred the money. That afternoon, a young man carrying a wooden box appeared at the gate of Siyuan Pharmaceutical Factory.

  Xu Si drove with Song Jian to the Si Yuan Pharmaceutical Factory. When they arrived at the factory, Song Jian inspected some of these traditional Chinese medicines and found that their quality was not bad, much better than he had expected.

  Standing at the entrance of Siyuan Pharmaceutical Factory, Song Jian turned his head to Xu Si and said: "Let's start preparing for refining now. I can't even drive a car now, it's really like being a useless person."

  Si Yuan smiled reassuringly at Song Jian, saying: "It'll be alright eventually, no need to rush. Look, I'm driving for you, let's go in."

  As he spoke, Siyuan picked up the wooden box of over 100 kilograms and put it on the car.

  The security guard at the door was stunned, he couldn't figure out how Xu Si, a delicate and beautiful woman who was also a spoiled rich girl, could have such great strength, carrying over 100 pounds of goods in her hand as if it were weightless.

  Entering the pharmaceutical factory, Song Jian dragged his weak body and handed over to Liu Dachun, who led the employees to process these precious medicinal materials according to requirements, and asked Liu Dachun to supervise in person.

  Liu Dachun saw that Song Jian's body was weak and knew that the matter was important, so he couldn't afford to delay. He guarded the medicine preparation room every hour and minute, and according to Song Jian's instructions, he prepared these medicinal materials.

  Two days later, all twenty-seven medicinal materials were processed.

  Song Jian placed these processed medicinal powders on the workbench. He had already asked Ma De Shui for help and refined an ice and fire tripod furnace.

  The refining of Bingzhi Xujin Dan must use the Binghuo Ding furnace, and the structure of the Binghuo Ding furnace is somewhat peculiar. The lower part is a spiral-shaped base, with flames heating from below, while the upper part has a circular box suspended in mid-air. This box communicates with the mouth of the furnace, and during the refining process, ice blocks must be placed inside this box. As the medicinal gas rises in a spiral motion, it encounters the box containing the ice blocks and rapidly condenses. The tiny crystals that form through condensation will roll into the grooves on the edge of the furnace. Once all the medicinal gas has been transformed into crystals and condensed into Dan pills, the Bingzhi Xujin Dan is successfully refined.

  This process sounds complicated, but it's actually quite easy to operate. It's much easier than refining the Washing Marrow Pill and Tempering Bone Pill. The only problem is that without this special Ice Fire Crucible, the refinement will be troublesome, or even impossible to succeed.

  Song Jian turned on the adjustable electric heating furnace, put on the tripod, added medicinal materials, started heating, and when the temperature reached over 300 degrees, Song Jian began to put block by block of whole ice into the ice box inside the tripod.

  The cauldron shook slightly, and then a drop-by-drop sound began to echo inside the cauldron.

  Song Jian was not in a hurry, standing quietly beside the tripod furnace waiting for it. When he saw the ice melt, he would take out new ice and put it into the tripod furnace again.

  About seven hours later, the ice and fire cauldron suddenly shook violently, followed by a series of crackling sounds.

  Song Jian saw that the time had come, he opened the cauldron, his right hand quickly reached in, and two crystal-clear pills like precious stones appeared in Song Jian's palm. These two pills were as big as ping-pong balls, completely transparent, like ice blocks condensed together.

  Song Jian took the wooden box that had been prepared long ago, put one of the Ice Chi Xuan Jin Dan into the wooden box, and then put it in the refrigerator to freeze. Then he put another Ice Chi Xuan Jin Dan into his mouth.

  That icy Qi continued to surge into Song Jian's body, and as soon as it encountered the warm air, it immediately transformed into a thick fog. Song Jian closed his lips, and the fog followed his throat and rushed into his body.

  A refreshing feeling emanated from within.

  Song Jianli sat on the ground with his legs crossed, silently operating the "Yi Jin Jing", using the efficacy of Bingzhi Xuxin Dan to cooperate with the "Yi Jin Jing" and restore the tendons and veins in his body.

  A cool sensation spreads throughout the limbs and bones, as if every pore is exuding comfort.

  Song Jian sat cross-legged on the ground, motionless. After a day and night, Song Jian suddenly opened his eyes, got up, moved his hands and feet, although they were still weak, but he could move freely. At the same time, Song Jian felt a rumbling noise in his abdomen, obviously starving, he looked at the time, it was already evening on the second day.

  As soon as he walked out of the alchemy room, Song Jian discovered that Xia Lin and Xu Si were both staying in the temporary guest house of the pharmaceutical factory, waiting for him all along.

  "Let's go eat, I'm starving," Song Jian called out to Xia Lin and Xu Si.

  "Huh? Uncle, are you okay?" As she spoke, Xia Lin was about to rush over.

  Song Jian hastily dodged and said: "I'm not fully recovered yet, don't come over, I'm afraid it will hurt."

  Xia Lin clenched her small fist in hatred.

  Three people had a meal in a nearby restaurant, Song Jian was even more exaggerated this time, one person ate the amount of food for seven people, and finally all the rice in the restaurant was eaten up before stopping.

  "You all go back home, I still have a dan medicine, after taking it, I estimate that it will be until tomorrow afternoon, at that time you can come and pick me up again," Song Jian said.

  Xu Si was a bit worried, although Song Jian's appetite had always been quite large, it hadn't been this big before today.

  "Are you okay? Won't you get sick from overeating?" Xu Si asked worriedly.

  Song Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead, "I'm not a child who doesn't know hunger and fullness, can I be stuffed to death?" In fact, continuing to cultivate his tendons and veins, all the energy needed comes from Song Jian's own body consumption. The Ice Chi Tendon Pill only guides and accelerates it. These newly grown tendons and veins are all transformed from the marrow blood essence of Song Jian's body. The energy consumed this time is far more than what can be replenished by a meal.

  After returning to the alchemy room, Song Jian sat down again and took another Ice Marrow Rejuvenation Pill.

  It was another day and night, when Song Jian stood up, he happily found that he had no difference with ordinary people. Although he couldn't recover to his physical strength before the injury now, at least running and driving, these activities, Song Jian could complete them already.

  Clutching his fist, Song Jian knew that although the Ice Tendon Rejuvenation Pill's effects were very powerful, his body was too heavily injured. Even with the help of the "Easy Tendon Classic", he estimated that he would need to take at least five or six more pills before all his tendons and meridians could be restored.

  Fortunately, the sword energy in his abdomen had been dormant. If this sword energy came out to make trouble, the newly repaired meridian would probably be torn apart again.

  Song Jian walked out of the alchemy room, and Xu Si was already waiting for him.

  Seeing Song Jian's face, Xu Si's eyes couldn't move away. She exclaimed in surprise: "You... how did you lose weight so much in just one day?"

  Xia Lin also came over and sized up Song Jian, saying: "Really? Really? Uncle, your elixir is actually a weight loss medicine? The effect of this weight loss medicine is too good!"

  Song Jian stretched his waist and said: "Lose weight? I'd rather gain weight, now I'm starving to death, okay, let's go eat quickly."

  "Alright, dinner is already prepared at home and a lot of food has been made, knowing you can eat!"

  Song Jian murmured "uh-huh" and suddenly remembered that it would be mid-March in just a few days.
