Ningxiang Pill and Jing Xin Powder
“Master He, your problem is more terrible than I anticipated, and I fear that I will be unable to stabilize your mental power on my own.” Zuo Ge had just assisted He Lin in sorting out his irregular mental power, and his entire person was awfully fatigued.
“Is there a way to solve it?” He Lin said as he poured himself a glass of red wine and stared out the window, unbothered.
“Two programs,” Zuo Ge replied, recording on the tablet, “One is to hire at least four 7-level therapists who will take turns helping you stabilize your mental strength every month. The other is to prepare or purchase a large quantity of at least 5-star mid-level mental stabilizing medicine and take them regularly.”
He Lin remained silent as he delicately swirled the red liquid in the He cup.
The number of level 7 therapists who could be found alive was extremely scarce. Nonetheless, given his identity and status, it would not be difficult to track down all four of them. The only thing that would be too tough to control was ensuring that his spazzing mental state would not be disclosed outside by the strangers who would treat him. As the defender of the Ziyou Federation, he shouldered the responsibility of guarding the social order and balancing the power. Furthermore, his own spiritual stability was a deterrent and symbol in and of itself. Once a problematic change arose, various types of unstable factors would follow one after another.
As for the 5-star mid-level psychotropic drugs, there had always been a known price set but no market would sell them. It’d be impossible to purchase a generous amount even for a person with the same high status as He Lin or himself.
Zuo Ge let out a sigh, “Unfortunately, no one has been able to refine a high-grade medicine specialized for the treatment of S-level mental enhancers. Otherwise, your current issue won’t be an issue.”
He Lin ignored his sigh and ordered, “I will leave the acquisition of the pharmaceuticals to you. By the way, help me find a few senior therapists with clean family backgrounds. Secretly pay close attention first, and don’t approach them for the time being.”
“Okay.”
A beep came from outside the door at this point, indicating that there was a visitor.
He Lin turned on the monitor screen and asked, “What’s the matter?”
The person inside the screen respectfully replied, “Master He, the new assistants and bodyguards have arrived. Do you have the time to receive them now?”
“Come in.” After he switched off the video, He Lin turned his attention to Zuo Ge.
The latter naturally comprehended, he stood and said goodbye to his superior.
A young man with quite a military air walked into the room, leading seven people in, then took a solid stance in front of He Lin and opened his mouth first. “Master He, these individuals are all elites selected from my family. I hope you are satisfied?”
He Lin’s line of sight flitted over them like a piercing cold stream, affecting the five men and two women standing to feel cold through their bones, and they didn’t dare to breathe loudly.
The room was deafeningly silent. The sound of everyone’s breathing and heartbeat seemed to be audible. And there was a faint pleasant scent wafting through the air, miraculously relieving He Lin’s suffering from the excruciating pain caused by his mental damage.
“You, what’s your name?” He asked a twenty-five or twenty-six-year-old alluring woman, his deep, authoritative voice resonating heavily in all four corners of the room despite the low timbre he spoke.
“Ah? Master He has asked me?” A trace of hopelessness flashed in the woman’s eyes. She quickly smoothed down her emotions, downing an unperturbed expression and replying with suppressed excitement, “My name is Elsa.”
He Lin nodded and no longer paid attention to her. He turned his head to the young man beside Elsa and commanded, “Leave three and send the rest away. “
Elsa wasn’t the best of the best of the bunch, but she was appointed by He Lin as the first assistant. She thought that it was her striking model-like appearance that had earned He Lin’s favor. However, it was totally out of her mind that the real reason was the peculiar fragrance on her body.
【Owner, is there still a Dream pill? My brothers haven’t had a good sleep quality lately.】
On the screen, a chubby cartoon bear was rolling around the edge of the dialogue box.
An Xian fiddled with the medicinal ingredients first before replying:【The Dream Pill is temporarily out of stock. I recommend another product that is similar to the first one — Jing Xing Powder. Before going to bed, pour a small amount of warm water into the bottle and apply it on a towel, letting it soak for three minutes to ensure a good night’s sleep. 】
Bear without dark eye circles: 【As many as there exist, I want them all.】
An Xian: 【Thirteen bottles are currently in stock.】
Bear without dark eye circles: 【That is too little, I have several hundreds of brothers!】
‘How many of your brothers have insomnia together?’, An Xian mused.
Bear without dark eye circles:【Owner, can I make a reservation?】
An Xian:【Yes, how much do you want to book?】
The profile picture of Bear without dark eye circles rolled again:【100 pieces of Dream Pill and 50 bottles of Jing Xin Powder. This many for the time being, when will the good arrive?】
An Xian:【One week.】
Bear without dark eye circles: 【Okay, I’m going to place an order. Give me the 13 bottles of Jing Xian Powders in stock first.】
The cartoon bear swiftly exploded by the last line of punctuation marks, turning into a mushroom cloud and gradually disappearing on the screen.
At a distinct training camp outside the city, Gao Yi resolutely flicked his fingers over and efficiently swatted down the available Jing Xin Powder on sale by HuaHua World.
“How was it?” Shen Hai walked over and glanced down at the screen.
Gao Yi said, with apparent dismay tinged in his voice, “The dream pill is out of stock, and the shopkeeper recommended to buy this bottle called Jing Xin Powder instead.”
“Jing Xin Powder? I don’t think it will work.”
“The dream pill was one of the most effective conventional medicines I have ever used, and I think that Jing Xin powder is not so much inferior to the pill.”
They had to carry out high-intensity mental simulation training every day, resulting in their abnormally active mental power throughout the day, making it difficult to fall asleep. They have tried a variety of sleeping drugs, however, the effects were entirely out of their expectations. Moreover, the effect of the medicines was proportional to the level of one’s mental power. Thus, the higher one’s mental power was the lesser the drug’s effect.
Until more than ten days ago, Gao Yi came across an online shop called “Huahua World” and eventually purchased a few bottles of Dream pills. After taking medicine, not only did he get a satisfying deep night’s sleep, his frenzied mental power also tranquilized down. The following day, he woke up with renewed vigor and a bright complexion. Among the throng of disgruntled and coarse-looking men, Gao Yi stood tall, looking extraordinarily “sparkling.”
“Is it really good as you said ah?” Wen Mao displayed a disapproving look, “The store has only one star, and it isn’t well known. You should be careful about buying bogus medications. The way I see it, we should just continue to procure medicines from Clear Jade Pavilion. The pavilion’s great master, Master Javison, is indeed a Level 5 pharmacist.”
After rolling his eyes, Gao Yi advanced closer to Wen Mao and slyly smiled, “How about we make a bet?”
Only a handful of people have tried the Dream Pill he bought last time, and most people were still skeptical about its effectiveness, and Wen Mao was one of them who hadn’t tried.
“How should we bet?” Wen Mao wasn’t the timid type of person, nor was he afraid of trouble, so he immediately took the bait.
“We choose a representative and test the effects of the two drugs individually to see who will fall asleep faster and have a better sleep quality.” Snapping his fingers, Gao Yi added, “The loser has to run 10 laps around the school.”
“It’s a bet.” Wen Mao firmly and arrogantly slapped Gao Yi’s palm and gave him a meaningful look without glancing at Shen Hai, who was listening to their whole exchange.
On the afternoon of the same day, the vials of Jing Xin Powder Gao Yi online shopped were delivered.
His betting agreement with Wen Mao also spread like wildfire throughout the entire camp. The sleep-deprived energetic soldiers stayed up all night, all waiting exhilarated for the outcome of the competition.
Wen Mao carried the Clear Jade Pavillion’s new product—Yunhe Pill. In contrast, Gao Yi’s presented product was naturally the Jing Xin Powder of Huahua World.
Two soldiers volunteered to serve as drug testers. One took medicine orally while the other tester laid it on the face. Both laid on separate beds afterward, waiting for the spirit of drowsiness to strike.
There were a dozen people occupying the room, and there were hundreds of people standing outside on stand-by. No one spoke. And all of them stared intensely at the two people lying on the beds with the same retarded eyes.
After a long while, someone finally couldn’t help but whisper, “Do you think they can fall asleep under this situation….”
Spectators: “……”
Highly sensitive enhancers could be roused awake by just the slight blow of the wind and swaying of the grass, let alone those well-trained soldiers.
Listening to the breathing and heartbeat of hundreds of people, also inadvertently smelling the dense fermented smell abounding with the “manly musk” of sweat and others’ athlete’s feet, and also suffering from over ten thousand points of mental damage. As long as it’s a living person, it would be unmistakably impossible to sleep.
Just as the atmosphere was gradually corroded with a profound awkwardness, faint snoring unexpectedly came from one of the beds.
Everyone peered at the person dumbfoundedly and noticed that it was the tester representing Gao Yi. His chest was rising and falling consistently with a towel situated across his face, and his mouth was giving out healthy snoring, mimicking wonderfully a person who was comfortably asleep.
“Holy shit, this is too fake!” Wen Mao looked at Gao Yi in astonishment,” In order to win me, you even used third-rate acting skills.”
Gao Yi: “…” In fact, he also felt that the brother snoring on the bed was just acting. Still, he also wanted to add some simulation to spice things up and make it believable. But what could he do? He was also as desperate as the others.
Around this time, the other tester lying in the other bed opened his eyes, turned his head to face the brother on the opposite bed, and said, “Brother, all right, let’s stop here today. We’ll compare it next time.”
However, the guy on the bed across from him did not respond and continued to concentrate on his snoring.
The crowd standing in a circle and watching: This buddy’s skills in pretending to sleep are absolutely perfected…
Wen Mao was at the end of his patience, so he raised his leg and was about to kick him.
“Wait.” Shen Hai stopped him. “You can just feel his mental power carefully.”
Everybody stood still in a blank state for a moment. Then, they concentrated on their breathing, leveling it, and guided their power toward the bed.
“Huh? How could his mental power be so stable?”
“I probed his mental power ten minutes ago, and he was in a highly active state. After only a few minutes of applying for the medicine, his mental power had gone stable?”
“I don’t know if it’s an illusion. I seem to feel a little sleepy?”
“Me too.”
“Plus one.”
“So, he really fell asleep?!”
“……”
This time, in contrast to their previous calm, anticipated state, they all cast their eyes at Gao Yi with such unparalleled crazy expression.
Sleep had always been a problem that plagued most mental enhancers. They often sleep less than 4 hours a day, and to make things, even worse, they were also on the boundary between sleep and awake. Although active mental power could keep them awake for the whole day, long-term deprivation of sleep could easily trigger mental disorders and trauma.
Now, there was finally a medicine that could make them nod off at such a high speed without being distracted by the surroundings!
This was simply the gospel of all enhancers! Then those Yunhe Pills could be straight away chucked off at the bin!
When Mai lost the bet without such a dispute. He didn’t even shy away after he extorted Gao Yi a few bottles of Jing Xin Powder and just smoothly took off his clothes and ran away happily.
The next day, An Xian logged into his online store and discovered that the orders of Jing Xin Powder had increased by several hundred. In addition to that, the sales of other medicines had upgraded by a large margin as well.
However, An Xian was feeling a bit tangled. Although it’s a good thing to have large orders, the prices of those drugs weren’t high, and refining those medicines took a lot of time. She initially planned to refine high-grade products set at a high price, however, she dreaded that her plan would be delayed again…
