Chapter 143 of 1oo96 New Urban Farmers: The Amazingly Effective Longevity Pill!
"It's a success." Zhang Guodong opened his eyes, his face filled with excitement. The tingling and itching lasted for less than a minute before its effect rapidly diminished to almost imperceptible, but the subtle effects continued. Zhang Guodong had been experiencing the changes within his body throughout.
To his surprise and relief, the "Health Pill" was miraculous and had no side effects! Its effects are from the inside out. Every cell in the body is being strengthened, and toxins are being eliminated every second.
"Body Strengthening Pill!" Zhang Guodong was overjoyed to have finally succeeded in refining the second most miraculous pill in the world! Elder Yi could only refine the "Snake Spirit Pill," but the medicinal materials he possessed could be used to refine the "Body Strengthening Pill," which was beneficial to the body!
He personally tested the medicine to prove that it has no side effects!
Then Zhang Guodong noticed that his hands and face were covered in a thin layer of sticky oil. The oil contained grayish-black impurities—this was his body detoxing!
It even has an unpleasant odor! It smells awful!
Big Black and the others kept their distance. This greatly annoyed Zhang Guodong; these creatures had very sensitive senses and were very resistant to the toxins and impurities expelled from Zhang Guodong's body.
It seems they also know that the substances excreted by their bodies are harmful to them.
"Oops, that was a bit of a miscalculation. There's no place to bathe in this paradise, and all the purified water I prepared has been used up!" Zhang Guodong was annoyed. He immediately checked all the water buckets in the paradise, but there was only half a bucket of purified water left, not enough for bathing. Besides, he didn't want to leave dirty water in the paradise now.
Next time I try the elixir, I should find a hotel. Right, I've already run out of clothes to wear in the bathroom.
Even if his clothes are contaminated with impurities and toxins, he'll still need to change and wash them. He's considered wealthy; he can afford to wear clothes that cost a few hundred yuan.
Zhang Guodong rushed out of the bamboo house and, to the astonishment of Leopard and the others, got into the car. They sped across the steel bridge like lightning.
On the way, Zhang Guodong felt that his body was still detoxifying and strengthening, but the effect was subtle and gradual.
He looked refreshed and seemed younger and more energetic.
And indeed, Zhang Guodong looks younger, his skin as smooth as if it had been washed with milk. But... that's the downside of him being a man. A man should be robust and masculine, full of vigor.
However, Zhang Guodong wasn't in the mood to check the changes in his physical appearance at the moment. He first found a hotel that was very cheap, costing 100 yuan a day and 60 yuan for three hours, so he tried to save money wherever possible.
After paying, seeing the waiter's slightly frowned expression, Zhang Guodong was led to his room. He grabbed the key card and quickly slipped inside. His face was burning, and he reeked of an unpleasant odor—no one could stand him!
"Take a shower! Take a shower!" Zhang Guodong tossed the key card aside and rushed into the bathroom.
After the hot water rinsed away the toxins expelled from his body, Zhang Guodong was even somewhat intoxicated. "The Body Strengthening Pill actually worked for me! This is quite a pleasant surprise!"
He had been practicing the mutated Five Elements Fist Technique continuously. He practiced it ten times a day, even in the 100x multiplier zone! The tempering of his flesh and blood continued unabated, the subtle and gradual process seemingly endless.
Basically, every time he practices the boxing technique, his body expels some toxins, but compared to the amount expelled by the "Body Strengthening Pill," the amount is negligible. Now he can also take the "Body Strengthening Pill"!
It is foreseeable that with the "Body Strengthening Pill", his physical strength, reaction speed, and other aspects will be greatly improved!
"Whoosh!" Zhang Guodong couldn't help but punch, and the stream of water was almost cut off with a snap. The water, cut off and unable to hit the ground, struck the wall.
The strength increased and the speed increased! The progress is obvious!
If Zhang Guodong's physical evolution is divided into ten levels, his current growth in strength, speed, and mental state is at the early stage of level one! **"Terrifying healing ability, five times faster speed than ordinary people, five times stronger, and the ability to warn of danger from a distance!"
Zhang Guodong was very satisfied with the power and the control!
However, the trial of the drugs on himself was not over. Zhang Guodong also had to try the "Longevity Pill" and the "Blood Replenishing Pill," which was only possible because of his monstrous ability to subtly perceive every change in his body.
The "Longevity Pill" and the "Blood Replenishing Pill" that hadn't left the bathroom were placed in the jade box in his pocket. Two small jade boxes containing two pills.
Zhang Guodong first took out the "Longevity Pill," a pill with a swirling blue color, which should be formed by a concentrated but not dispersed spiritual mist.
"I wonder what magical effects the Longevity Pill will have?" Zhang Guodong swallowed it with great anticipation.
The Huang family in Dinosaur Village.
Yang Qin returned early, looking anxious. Now, her daughter was married, and her husband pleased her. But now, "unusual things are starting to happen."
Today, the head of student affairs personally sought her out. She was quite surprised to learn that the principal had requested her presence. The head of student affairs had a "kind smile" on his face, which was very different from his usual demeanor.
Then she saw the principal warmly offer her tea and say that from today onwards she would be promoted to "grade director" and her salary would also increase by one level.
This is even more outrageous! Yang Qin felt completely bewildered.
Then the principal mentioned several times, "Teacher Yang, your daughter married a good husband!"
She immediately realized that she had benefited from the Zhang family's influence because of the district leaders' collective attendance at her daughter's wedding.
Once she understood, she began to feel anxious and uncertain. Should she accept the principal's promotion? In any case, she returned home looking very anxious.
Mother Ye Cuihua's cold had slightly improved, but she wasn't quite recovered and was sweeping the yard. She was always busy; now, the Huang family only had one woman. The Zhang and Huang families were now like one big family. "Oh dear, in-law, you're still sick! Why are you doing this?" Yang Qin immediately grabbed the broom and said.
"It's nothing, I was just killing time anyway, why did you come back so early today?" Mom said with a smile.
Yang Qin, as if she had found a pillar of support, recounted the situation at school. Upon hearing this, her mother said, "This is a good thing! Let the younger generation repay their kindness. Anyway, we don't know any district chiefs or deputy district chiefs. At worst, they can just be demoted again."
Influenced by Zhang Guodong's "wealthy and powerful" attitude, my mother has become increasingly domineering, as if she is the head of the family and my father can only stand aside.
Yang Qin was amused by her mother's comment, but then she thought it made sense and decided to stop thinking about it. Anyway, the principal hadn't mentioned any requirements or conditions!
Right now, Dad Zhang Zhengrong and Uncle Huang are fishing by the river, their leisurely mood undiminished. Back in the north, Dad had never fished before, only catching fish during Yellow River floods, though his fishing skills weren't very good. Here, the river is clear amidst green hills and bright sunshine, and the people on the riverbank are lively. So they took two fishing rods and went to the river.
When Zhang Guodong arrived at the Huang family home, his mother and Aunt Yang were washing vegetables and chatting. His father, Zhang Zhengrong, and Uncle Huang had not yet returned.
My mom's complexion has improved, but she still has a slight cough.
"Mom, come in here for a second, I have something to say! Hehe!" Zhang Guodong greeted her with a cheerful expression and then pulled his puzzled mother into the house.
"You're such a big boy, why are you still so clumsy and careless?" Mom smiled at Yang Qin and asked with a puzzled expression as she entered the room.
Zhang Guodong broke out in a cold sweat and then took out a "Longevity Pill". It was shimmering with blue light and looked like a glass bead to outsiders. It was very beautiful, but you could tell from the smell that it was a medicine or a pill. But how could a pill be so beautiful?
"Hey, Mom's got something good to show you. Look, this is it!"
Ye Cuihua glanced at the "elixir of immortality." Then, instead of immediately taking it, she touched her son's forehead. "No fever? What are you doing with that glass bead? Treating it like a treasure?"
"What is this thing? It smells pretty nice?"
Absolutely astonishing!
Zhang Guodong made up a story about a reclusive master who, since he's unlikely to actually appear, would give away some amazing things that would make him immune to all diseases and even make him younger. That's the kind of thing charlatans often say!
Mom wasn't so easily fooled. She almost gave Zhang Guodong a smack on the head. This kid's acting all mysterious; he's probably been scammed.
This thing is edible? Hopefully, it doesn't make anyone sick!
Despite Zhang Guodong's repeated assurances, Ye Cuihua remained skeptical but decided to trust her son one last time. It was too much to ask of her! Zhang Guodong wiped the sweat from his brow as he watched his mother consume the "elixir of immortality."
"I forgot something, Mom. This medicine will detoxify your body, so you need to prepare a hot bath beforehand!" Zhang Guodong said awkwardly. "I'll go prepare some hot water for you, and you'll also need to change your clothes!"
"You brat! Hey, the medicine's working? It feels pretty good!" Mom was about to lash out at him in a fit of rage, but then exclaimed in surprise, "The Longevity Pill! It's working!"
"Ha, it worked!" Zhang Guodong thought to himself, and took the opportunity to go out of the house to prepare hot water for his mother.
There's a bathroom with a shower in the yard. You can boil water with electricity and wash your makeup in no time.
Yang Qin looked at Zhang Guodong with surprise and asked in confusion, "Guodong, what are you doing so mysteriously?"
Taking a shower now? That seems a bit early. People usually shower before bed, right?
Zhang Guodong chuckled and said, "I got some medicine from a master who said it's good for the body, so my mom is going to try it and see!"
He'd already tried the medicine and had no side effects whatsoever. It's a pity he still has to make up this excuse. There's no way around it; this pill is just too miraculous!
A little while later, Mom Ye Cuihua came out yelling and rushed into the bathroom, cursing, "You brat, you'd better pay for my clothes! I'll settle the score with you later!"
Zhang Guodong shrank his neck and gave a wry smile. He was helpless about this situation. After the drug trial, he went to the mall and bought four sets of clothes, shirts, and shoes as spares.
He now says that "Longevity Pill" also has detoxifying effects, but it is weaker than "Health Pill". It works at a deeper cellular level and is more inclined to "nourish the skin, preserve youth".
In more detail, it promotes cell division and has the effect of prolonging life!
Yang Qin hadn't clearly seen her mother's situation; she only laughed upon hearing this and seeing Zhang Guodong's embarrassed look. What a mother-in-law!
Time passed slowly, and Dad and Uncle returned. However, they hadn't caught any fish; they just chatted by the river, wasting several hours.
"Guodong's back? Where's your mom?" Dad asked in surprise when he saw Zhang Guodong in the yard.
"Mom will be back in a bit, hehe!" Zhang Guodong said.
Seeing the father and son looking confused, Yang Qin couldn't help but smile and didn't say anything more.
"Squeak!" The bathroom door in the yard opened. Dad turned around and was stunned! "The culprit!" Zhang Guodong's mouth dropped open in shock—yes, utter shock! Everyone else froze. He glanced at him and then slipped into the house.
"Who are you?" Dad couldn't help but ask.
"Guodong, where did you run off to?" Mom glared at Dad and said angrily.
Two surprised exclamations: "Ah!"
