This Weibo post stifled the research of scientists, suggesting that the reason humans age and die is due to the death of cells in the body. As long as cellular vitality can be maintained, one can remain forever youthful, and even immortal.
Below, many research findings and data were also listed. As soon as this Weibo was posted, it immediately became the center of attention, and the netizens below the two posts had endless, lively debates. This made Ling Zhenfei both laugh and cry.
Ling Zhenfei was enjoying the comments when suddenly, the phone rang. He saw it was Chu Bingqing's private number and hurriedly answered the call.
"Hello there, superstar," Ling Zhenfei said with a smile.
The sound of Chu Bingqing's voice came through, "I think the biggest star right now is you. Haven't you seen the fights breaking out on Weibo over your affairs?"
"Can't help it, that's just how people on Weibo are. A little breeze and they'll blow it up endlessly," Ling Zhenfei said helplessly, feeling that being famous was more trouble than it was worth.
Chu Bingqing's voice took on a threatening tone, "I'm not going to beat around the bush with you. How are you selling the Beauty Pills? I want to buy."
"I knew you'd want to buy, and you'd probably buy by the hundreds," Ling Zhenfei said, knowing Chu Bingqing was famous for spending lavishly to maintain her looks. It was said that her face alone was insured for hundreds of millions, and her hands for tens of millions.
Chu Bingqing laughed, "You know me so well. Your elixir lasts only six months, so of course, I need hundreds. Don't worry, you won't be short-changed."
"It's not about the money. You helped me out last time, and I told you that I'd give you something even better. So I will give it to you for free, but not as many as you mentioned. Anyway, you're not supposed to take that many all at once."
Ling Zhenfei was genuinely touched by the favor Chu Bingqing had done for him in the past. Time had passed, but Ling Zhenfei was someone who cherished old ties and believed in repaying kindness with even greater kindness.
"Really? That's just wonderful! I have a few friends who know I'm acquainted with you, and they also want some. How should we charge them? Don't worry about giving me face; they all have money," Chu Bingqing's voice was filled with joy.
"Actually, there's something I forgot to tell you. Although the Beauty Pill does indeed preserve looks, it's impossible for you to buy a hundred at a time."
Chu Bingqing was taken aback by Ling Zhenfei's words, "Why not?"
"Because the elixir has a shelf life. Even if you bought them, you could use at most two, and the rest would lose their effectiveness."
Ling Zhenfei spoke the truth: while the Beauty Pills could be stored for a very long time within his own Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow, it wasn't the same with others.
His Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow had a powerful feature, which was preservation. Filled with Northern Spiritual Energy, the elixir stored within it would not only avoid losing any power but might even increase in it.
But in the real world, that wasn't the case. Once bought, the elixir would lose all its Northern Spiritual Energy within a year.
Chu Bingqing understood, "Well then, I really can't do without you in the future. Since that's the case, just give me two for now, and after I finish these two, I'll ask you for more."
Ling Zhenfei said with a laugh, "If your friends want them too, I'll send the elixirs with you, and you can just hand them out. That way, you'll look very generous."
Chu Bingqing couldn't believe her ears, "Are you serious? You're being way too generous. That's almost scary. You're not only refusing to take my money, but you're also letting me give them to my friends just to maintain my prestige? Unbelievable."
In truth, even if he gave them away to her friends, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't be at a loss. After all, he was only giving away one each, and once the effect of that one elixir waned, they would still need to come back to Ling Zhenfei to buy more. Then, he could name his price.
"What can I say? Your prestige is high, and we're friends after all. What's a little favor between friends?"
Chu Bingqing chuckled, "Thank you so much, but I wouldn't dare to have you courier something so precious. Aren't you in the Northeast right now? I have some friends over there; I'll get someone to pick them up."
Ling Zhenfei knew that Chu Bingqing, being a big star like her, certainly didn't lack friends. He understood that saying one word could have countless men scrambling to stand up for her.
"Sure, let him come find me."
Chu Bingqing playfully said, "Then I'll just give her your mobile number, she's been telling me for a while that she wants to get to know you."
"Okay, let her contact me, then."
Chu Bingqing's voice over the phone was very happy, "That settles it, I always feel happy after talking to you on the phone, especially this time, knowing how amazing the Beauty Pill is, I'm so excited I can't even sleep."
Ling Zhenfei could understand Chu Bingqing's feelings. The prospect of aging is an issue every girl must face, and who would want to let their beauty fade? But sometimes, there's simply nothing you can do and you can only await the cruel passage of time.
If there really was something that could be consumed to preserve one's beauty forever, then not being able to get it would indeed keep people up at night.
"As long as you're happy."
"Then I'll have my friend go get the elixir. Oh, when will you come to Capital City or Modu? I'll treat you to a meal."
"I'm someone whose whereabouts are always unpredictable. We'll talk about it later."
After chatting for a bit, they hung up the phone, and Ling Zhenfei sat in his chair, pondering these matters.
The issue of whether to sell the Beauty Pill to the public... Compared to other elixirs, making the Beauty Pill wasn't very difficult. The only challenge was that Heavenly Grass was a bit hard to find.
But what price should it be sold at? That was a tough question. If it were too cheap; people might think the pill was low quality. Too expensive, and many girls wouldn't be able to afford it, which wasn't his intention.
Ling Zhenfei was someone who appreciated beauty, and he really didn't want to see the girls walking on the streets grow old. He couldn't imagine what such fashionable and beautiful women would look like once they aged.
As he was contemplating these issues, his phone suddenly rang again. Ling Zhenfei saw that it was Xu Yuyu calling and quickly picked up.
"What's daddy doing?" As soon as the call connected, Xu Yuyu's cheesy voice came through the speaker.
Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei felt a chill run down his spine. Xu Yuyu was becoming less and less cautious.
"Xu Yuyu, be careful. If someone else heard this, what would they think?"
Xu Yuyu laughed, "What's wrong? Even the truth isn't allowed? You are the child's father, don't even think about denying it, you're not getting away in this lifetime."
Ling Zhenfei was truly helpless. Why hadn't he resisted that one time? Now Xu Yuyu had something to hold over him.
"You, I really can't with you. How's the baby? If anything feels off, call me immediately."
Xu Yuyu said, "I'm feeling unwell right now, so I'm calling you."
Ling Zhenfei asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Xu Yuyu said somewhat unhappily, "I've been vomiting a lot lately, it's been terrible, and I've completely lost my taste."
