Chapter 124 Entering the Beauty Industry
Ning Xuan thought she could enter the beauty industry. Yunxi had magical pills like Beauty Pill, Skin Regeneration Pill, and Hair Growth Pill, which were incredibly effective.
She thought that it could be diluted with water like the Rejuvenating Pill and used as a secret formula for beauty products, and that the effect would definitely be very good, and it would make a lot of money.
She knew the beauty industry was extremely profitable before she transmigrated, but she didn't have the ability to develop products or even the capital to open a shop.
To be honest, she was quite envious of this industry.
However, this is just a thought for now. If this business is successful, the amount of pills needed will be huge, and Yunxi's side will have to provide them. Ideally, they should be able to provide a large quantity at once, enough to last a long time.
Otherwise, given Yunxi's past habits, she would disappear for a period of time from time to time. If they ran out of pills during that time, it would be very troublesome.
Furthermore, the correct ratio of the pill to water also needs to be determined by Lin Yuhan and Wang Erya through trial and error.
Ning Xuan told Lin Yuhan and Wang Erya about it, and both of them were willing to cooperate.
Lin Yuhan's plan is to buy production lines and recruit researchers. She will provide the elixir water as a secret formula for the researchers to add, or she will find a way to provide special product water directly on the production line.
Lin Yuhan will decide on the specific method later, depending on the situation. Currently, the most crucial thing is Yunxi's side, since the core of the beauty products is the pills from Yunxi's side.
Yunxi was naturally happy to help, but she also said that cultivators sometimes easily lose track of time when they are cultivating, and if the seclusion period is too long, she may not be able to complete the transaction in time.
Moreover, the quantity of pills in the market is limited; even ordinary pills cannot be readily available in large quantities.
Yunxi then made a suggestion:
【Why don't you try refining pills yourself? These pills are actually very simple. Ordinary alchemists here can all refine them. I'll give you the pill refining techniques, the pill formulas, and the pill refining furnace.】
It's a pity you don't have a fire elemental root, but your wood elemental root is also very suitable for alchemy because you have a high affinity for spiritual herbs, making you more sensitive to the amount of herbs used and the refining process.
Ning Xuan hadn't thought of this, but it was indeed a good idea. After all, it's better to teach someone how to fish than to give them a fish. If she could refine pills herself, she would have a continuous supply of pills in the future.
Oh, wait, alchemy also requires spiritual herbs, and she doesn't have any here.
But I don't have any of those medicinal herbs here; you'll have to provide them.
Yunxi thought about it and agreed, but then she thought of another idea.
[Since you can cultivate there, there must be spiritual energy. Otherwise, why don't you grow your own spiritual herbs? These herbs used in common pills are very common, have a short cultivation period, and you can even save your own seeds.]
Ning Xuan was very tempted, but she couldn't farm here anymore; the land all belonged to the collective. She could only rely on Lin Yuhan and Wang Erya; as for Han Dongling's side, she could forget about it...
Wait, that's not right. Han Dongling's place seems suitable too, since her place has abundant spiritual energy.
When Han Dongling heard that Ning Xuan wanted her to try planting here, she shook her head violently. Then, remembering that Ning Xuan couldn't see, she quickly sent another message.
No, it won't work. After the apocalypse, the soil became completely contaminated at some point. Both official and amateur planting experts have tried various methods, but none have been able to successfully grow anything. Food and vegetables can't be grown. What survives now are either mutated plants or plants contaminated to varying degrees.
Ning Xuan still felt it was a pity. The spiritual energy concentration was high in their area, so the planting results would probably be better if they could grow it there.
"But this plant of mine is different; it's a spirit herb, perhaps stronger than ordinary plants, and it can even survive. Why don't you give it a try?"
Yunxi has already told Ningxuan about the cultivation of spiritual herbs and the methods of cultivation. Since they are all common pill formulas, the types of spiritual herbs required are very few, and there are also common medicinal herbs in them.
Ning Xuan felt that it would be even better if Han Dongling could develop it, so she was unwilling to give up and decided to try both Wang Erya and Han Dongling.
Lin Yuhan decided not to try it, because it would be troublesome for her to grow crops. She would have to rent land and hire people, and the spiritual plants she grew might be very conspicuous. If someone took photos or videos of them and posted them online, it would be bad if they attracted widespread attention.
But things are different where Wang Erya is. There are ordinary people there, as well as people who have been sold into servitude. Wang Erya can buy some people to do the planting for her. Moreover, information spread slowly in ancient times, so as long as Wang Erya pays attention, it will be much more convenient than planting here now.
However, Han Dongling's side cannot be tried for the time being. She is currently homeless and has to search for crystal cores everywhere. Ning Xuan could only regretfully say that if she finds a suitable place, she can use it as her base and then try to grow the spiritual plants that Ning Xuan gave her.
Han Dongling felt that planting here was a waste of seeds, but she still agreed. She said she would give it a try when she found a suitable place.
Because they plan to wait until they can provide the elixirs themselves before starting to open the store, the development of beauty products will be put aside for the time being, and the focus will be on cultivating spiritual plants.
Ning Xuan then thought of the growth potion from Katerina's side. Because Katerina had recently become obsessed with food, Ning Xuan traded a lot of food with Katerina for a lot of growth potion. Then she asked Wang Erya to experiment with different methods, including naturally grown plants and plants grown with different concentrations of growth potion, and to record the growth cycle of the plants in different ways.
Anyway, there's no rush. Ning Xuan and the others can cultivate now, and if nothing unexpected happens, their lifespan will be much longer than that of ordinary people. If their cultivation goes smoothly, they might even achieve immortality.
Besides, they weren't short of money. Ning Xuan just felt that since they would have a long life ahead of them, they should find something to do so that life wouldn't be boring. Otherwise, if they just focused on cultivation without experiencing other pleasures, life would be too dull.
Ning Xuan chose to make money simply because she had a strong desire to do so even before she transmigrated. Unfortunately, back then, she worked herself to the bone every day but only earned a few thousand yuan a month and never made a fortune.
Before she started practicing cultivation after the 1970s, her plan for the future was to take advantage of the opening up to do business and make money.
She wanted to experience the feeling of having money deposited into her account every minute and every second, even when she was sleeping and doing nothing.
So she's still quite happy to work on making money.
.
After Han Dongling finished her conversation with Ning Xuan, she was also planning her future development in her mind. She had a secret and didn't really want to join other bases, but she was feeling very tired of constantly drifting around. So, should she build her own base?
