After finishing their meal together, Han Kang left Tianyi Pavilion in a hurry.
During this time, Ma Long and Luo Jiaying also separately asked Han Lang what they could do.
Regarding Ma Long, Han Lang frankly expressed his concern for Wang Fang's safety.
After all, Gou Xingzhi had previously resorted to some underhanded tactics against Tianyi Pavilion.
Moreover, Gou Tuizhi's collusion with the underworld to threaten Tianyi Pavilion had only just passed, so it was hard to guarantee they wouldn't retaliate more fiercely.
Therefore, Han Lang repeatedly urged Ma Long to pay close attention to protecting Wang Fang's safety at all times.
However, Luo Jiaying was, after all, still a student, and her personality was so pure and kind. She really couldn't get involved in this kind of business war filled with resentment.
But to appease her feelings, Han Lang still arranged for her to be responsible for taking care of his parents.
This would prevent her from overthinking and also stop the elders from being frightened by these matters again.
With all arrangements made, Han Lang did not linger at Tianyi Pavilion and drove straight home with Luo Jiaying.
After repeatedly instructing Luo Jiaying not to reveal any information to the elders, he immediately returned to his room.
As he closed the door, he quickly activated his divine sense and entered the Three-Tiered Pagoda. From the first tier of the pagoda, he took out all the medicinal ingredients required for the Youthful Appearance Pills.
These were beauty and anti-aging pills that he had decided long ago at Tianyi Pavilion to prepare for Han Kang's venture into the beauty industry.
"Water Spirit Grass, Snow Jade Ginseng, Life Flower..."
These were all essential spiritual herbs for refining Tier 1 Youthful Appearance Pills.
In the Lichuan Continent, beauty and anti-aging pills were actually divided into several grades.
Among them, Youthful Appearance Pills were the lowest grade.
Due to the commonality of their ingredients, most low-level cultivators in the Lichuan Continent used this type of pill.
However, cultivators from wealthy and powerful families were different. They often chose higher-grade, rarer, and more expensive pills.
Pills like the Tier 3 Beauty Enhancing Pills, the Tier 6 Ageless Pills, and the Tier 8 Rejuvenation Pills were all pills with different beauty and anti-aging effects.
Youthful Appearance Pills had the lowest efficacy; they could only temporarily delay aging.
Beauty Enhancing Pills could make one's complexion radiant, greatly stimulate skin activity, and their anti-aging effect was several times higher than Youthful Appearance Pills.
Ageless Pills were even more powerful, capable of directly freezing one's appearance, forever maintaining the current look, and ceasing to age thereafter.
The most potent was the Rejuvenation Pill.
Regardless of one's age or how poor their appearance was, upon taking one pill, their complexion would immediately return to that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old, the most youthful state.
Moreover, it would be a beauty of such unparalleled allure that was rarely seen on Blue Star once in a hundred years!
Of course, such pills were not affordable for everyone.
However, for children who were not yet seventeen or eighteen years old, it was naturally not recommended to take them.
But if one insisted on foolishly trying it, then they might truly turn into a real "Tianshan Child Grandma" (a mythical figure who remains eternally young).
All aspects of the body would be permanently frozen at that stage and could never be repaired!
The reason Han Lang chose to refine Youthful Appearance Pills was twofold: firstly, he did not yet have the ability to refine higher-grade pills;
Secondly, it was due to the physique of Blue Star people.
Blue Star people simply could not tolerate excessively large amounts of spiritual energy.
Although Youthful Appearance Pills were of a low grade, they were still pills.
The intensity of spiritual energy within them was several times greater than that of the White Spirit Ginseng Fruit essence he had previously extracted.
Therefore, Han Lang did not intend to make Youthful Appearance Pills into oral medication.
Instead, he planned to dilute them and dissolve them into a mask liquid, allowing the spiritual energy to nourish the skin from the outside, thereby achieving not only beauty and anti-aging effects but also without causing any side effects to the human body.
However, he still needed to conduct several more trials to determine the correct dilution ratio for the pills.
"There isn't much time left, let's get it done quickly!"
Thinking of the imminent crisis of the Han Corporation Pharmaceutical Factory, Han Lang dared not delay any further. After preparing a large quantity of Spirit Gathering Pills, he began to condense the spiritual energy into alchemical fire.
With the experience of refining Spirit Gathering Pills and Body Tempering Pills, Han Lang was now quite adept at refining these low-grade pills.
Especially after refining a large amount of White Spirit Ginseng Fruit last time, he had become quite skilled in the extraction part of the alchemy process.
Therefore, he quickly completed the extraction of the spiritual herb essence required for the Youthful Appearance Pills.
The fusion of the spiritual liquids was the most endurance-testing part of the entire alchemy process for an alchemist.
It not only required the alchemist to constantly control the heat but also to allow all the spiritual liquids to slowly blend with each other over time. Any slight carelessness could affect the quality of the pills, and in severe cases, even risk burning the pills.
Fortunately, Han Lang had abundant alchemical experience from the memories of the otherworldy Medicine Venerable, which supported him through this process, and he completed it flawlessly.
Compared to fusion, the process of pill condensation was relatively easier.
Throughout the entire process, as long as the heat was precisely controlled, allowing all the pills to be heated evenly, and the water vapor within the pills was evaporated bit by bit, everything would naturally fall into place!
"Phew~ Finally done! Fortunately, the yield of Youthful Appearance Pills is quite high, otherwise, even if I worked myself to death in the future, I wouldn't be able to meet the production demand."
Han Lang let out a long sigh. The consumption from alchemy was considerably greater than that of refining White Spirit Ginseng Fruit essence.
Fortunately, this time he refined a total of 9 Youthful Appearance Pills.
Considering the dilution ratio of the mung bean-sized White Spirit Ginseng Fruit essence, the dilution ratio for the soybean-sized Youthful Appearance Pills would be at least 5 times higher.
"Next is the testing."
Han Lang confidently prepared to test the dilution ratio of the Youthful Appearance Pills, but he changed his mind as he was about to get up.
"Since the approximate dilution ratio has been calculated this time, and Youthful Appearance Pills are for external use after all, the dilution concentration doesn't need to be as precise as White Spirit Ginseng Fruit, right? If that's the case, why not call Han Kang to test it together? It would save me from having to explain it to him again later."
Having made up his mind, Han Lang no longer hesitated. He immediately took out his phone and called Han Kang.
"Hello! What are you doing?"
"I just acquired two mask production factories and am signing contracts. What's up? Is there something?"
Han Lang replied truthfully, "I've got the medicine you wanted. I was planning to test it with you. Since you're busy, let's do it later!"
Upon hearing that Han Lang had finished the beauty and anti-aging medicine so quickly, Han Kang was overjoyed.
"Really? That's great! Does the test require any special equipment? Or can you come over to this mask processing plant?"
Han Kang's words made Han Lang realize something.
If they tested it at the mask factory, wouldn't the relevant details for subsequent production also be finalized on the spot?
Thinking of this, Han Lang quickly grabbed his jacket and instructed Han Kang on the phone.
"Send me the location, I'm coming over!"
