Lin Yao knew that the annual salary Long Yihun mentioned was reasonable, and that the other party was worth the price. He knew very well that at SWM Company, anyone who could offer an annual salary of 2.6 million was undoubtedly a top-tier talent.
We're short of money! We've only just gotten Minhong's business sorted out, and an even bigger hole is about to be filled. Longcheng Company's funding gap is even bigger, calculated in hundreds of millions of dollars, and in US dollars!
I wonder how things are going with Gou Xiaogou? I asked him to search for wealthy people abroad who have terminal illnesses, but I still haven't received any definite news. I'm practically wielding a big knife, ready to chop up billionaires.

Long Yihun made an appointment with Lin Yao to go back to Sichuan Agricultural University to get their graduation certificates together, then said goodbye and left. At this time, Ge Yong had already arranged for another car to come over.
After leaving the processing plant, Long Yihun went directly to Minhong Pharmaceutical Factory. He wanted to meet with Wu Jianwei to discuss buying land and building a factory. Long Yihun was very serious and hardworking at work, although he wasn't as diligent when studying, but that was purely a matter of personal interest and had nothing to do with his work ethic.
As Lin Yao pondered how to use Herman Longen's abilities to develop in-demand drugs to replace those expensive imported medicines, he walked towards the dormitory area, with Yi Fei following far behind.
Startled, Lin Yao stopped in his tracks, suddenly realizing something. The Western medical treatment plan that Herman Longen had suggested happened to be relevant to the disabled members of the Yi family; perhaps they had found a way to quickly restore the health and abilities of the disabled members of the Yi family.
Lin Yao's solution was an NGF substance he had learned about during his studies in Western medicine. This substance, discovered in 1953, was effective in addressing the symptoms of neuromuscular atrophy caused by the long-term paralysis of the Yi family members.
NGF is an abbreviation for Nerve Growth Factor, an active nuclear protein extracted from animal tissues. It is a neuronal growth regulator with dual biological functions of neuronal nutrition and neurite regrowth promotion. It plays a crucial regulatory role in the development, differentiation, growth, regeneration, and functional expression of central and peripheral neurons. Currently, it is widely used in clinical practice in ophthalmology, neurosurgery, neurology, orthopedics, pediatrics, and endocrinology.
The medical true qi, along with the attached medicinal qi of the "Life-Giving Pill" and "Dragon-Tiger Pill," had a very good effect on the disabled children of the Yi family, but Lin Yao was not very satisfied with the current effect or treatment efficiency.
Refining pills is very troublesome. The total amount of pseudo-pill fire that can be nurtured from medical true qi each day is limited. Apart from the initial nurturing, it now takes several days to nurture enough for Lin Yao to refine a pill once. After all, the level of pills he refines has increased, and the difficulty has also increased, requiring more pseudo-pill fire.
More importantly, all five types of pills refined using the discovered formulas and techniques are crucial, and none can be discarded or temporarily set aside. The "Heavenly Fragrance Bone-Regenerating Pill" is extremely valuable to the Yi family's high-level martial artists, and it is also an important indicator for rapidly enhancing the Yi family's status in the country. After all, the number of top-level martial artists is the foundation of a family's strength.
The "Life-Giving Pill" is not only effective for the Yi family members with hidden illnesses, but also of great significance to Lin Yao's parents and even ordinary people he is related to. In terms of treating patients, this pill is of the highest value.
The "Dragon and Tiger Pill" has little effect on ordinary people, only a slight effect of cleansing the marrow and tendons, but the effect is not obvious. However, it is this kind of pill that is the chapter in which the Yi family disciples, who are the most numerous, advance.
The "White Cloud Pill" is not only effective for martial artists in the world of martial arts, but also extremely effective for the troops that Ge Yong used to serve, and even for patients with certain diseases. It is a kind of pill that cannot be given up.
As for the seemingly worthless "Bigu Dan" (a type of fasting pill), it has immeasurable value in national defense and as essential equipment for the Yi family members on missions. Lin Yao, currently acting on his own whims, still wants to help his uncle, Lin Hongqi, as he considers his uncle the only blood relative worth nurturing and assisting.
Another reason why Lin Yao felt that the pseudo-elixir fire was insufficient was that he needed to constantly consume this precious resource to experiment with and search for new elixir formulas and cultivation methods. This required wasting a lot of pseudo-elixir fire. However, Lin Yao, who was deeply influenced by modern education, felt that this kind of effort was indispensable because it was the foundation for determining future development.
"Traditional Chinese and Western medicine, hehe, it seems I've returned to my old profession." Lin Yao chuckled to himself, categorizing all his medical qi and medicinal remedies under the category of traditional Chinese medicine. He turned on his almost-abandoned cell phone, dialed his father Luo Jimin's number, and asked him to have the purchasing department immediately procure NGF and deliver it to the garment factory as quickly as possible.
∴∴∴∴∴
NGF exists in solvent form. This active nucleoprotein is not a natural drug, nor does it emit any medicinal fumes; it falls under the category of purely biological drugs. Its ability to be used as a treatment lies in its ability to regulate the production and development of neurons using the organism's own physiological system, similar to the effects of biological hormones.
Since the herb could not be extracted and injected into the designated parts of the human body, Lin Yao had no choice but to use the injection method. However, because he had the ability to detect subtle details, he did not need to use the conventional method of intramuscular injection. Instead, he directly injected these NGFs into the atrophied nerves of the Yi family members, and then used medical true qi to help these nucleoproteins diffuse and evenly cover the atrophied nerve tissue.
The nourishment from the medical qi accelerated the absorption of NGF by neurons and boosted the speed of this physiological response to the extreme. Yi Liang, who was used by Lin Yao as the first experimental subject, recovered particularly quickly. The nerve tissue that had lost its function recovered rapidly at a speed that Lin Yao could "see". In just one hour of treatment, Yi Liang regained his basic mobility. Although his movements were slow and stiff, the surprised and excited expression on the little boy's face gave Lin Yao a great sense of accomplishment.
Injections, spells, and meditation helped them recover. Lin Yao put everything else aside and devoted himself to saving these poor children. After three days and nights of tireless effort, he finally finished treating all one hundred disabled children. Everyone regained their mobility. Those who hadn't completely lost their mobility to begin with made even faster progress, and some even started running again.
For a time, the entire perimeter of the garment factory was filled with laughter and joy. No matter how resilient and composed these children of the Yi family were, they were still just children in their early teens. The children, who had been given a second chance at life, released their most innocent emotions and frantically experienced things that were extremely ordinary to ordinary people.
Rolling on the ground, bending down to pick wildflowers, chasing cabbage white butterflies, playing rock-paper-scissors, shouting wildly and aimlessly—a hundred children were freely expressing their joy in this enclosed space. Yi Guoguo, along with the other ten children, was busy running around looking after these excited children. She had to let them vent. She could understand the threat of death and knew how much pain and fear these children, who were still her relatives, had endured.
Looking at the young elder supporting her on the second-floor dormitory, Yi Guoguo's vision blurred. She noticed that Lin Yao was surrounded by a layer of white light, appearing so noble and sacred in the unclear world.
This is the benefactor of the Yi family, a blessing bestowed by God upon the suffering Yi family!
"Sir, I have informed the Grand Elder about what you instructed. There has been a reply from Yanji that the most dangerous disciples have been placed in this first batch, those behind are not in immediate danger, and the remaining disciples with the most serious conditions can hold on for a month. Do you think we should postpone it? Minhong has many matters waiting for your attention." Yi Fei stood straight to Lin Yao's right, bowing respectfully before speaking, his tone extremely respectful. In his mind, this young elder had risen to the same level as the number three leader he was protecting. At this moment, he was a bodyguard, completely setting aside his status as a high-level martial artist to treat Lin Yao.
Lin Yao withdrew his elbows from the balcony railing, straightened up, turned to look at the resolute man in front of him, and smiled slightly, "No need. Minhong's situation is not serious yet. Let them do what they want. Every emerging enterprise has a process of tempering. Blindly protecting it will only make it more fragile in the future. Taking a few losses will help Minhong grow."
"Then you should rest. It's been three days, and you haven't had a proper rest." Yi Fei didn't continue to persuade him. It wasn't his place to speak on Min Hong's matter. He was simply concerned about the elder's health. "The next batch of one hundred people will probably arrive in three days. I'll arrange accommodations right away."
“Sir, when do you think it would be appropriate for this first batch of disciples to leave? It will surely be very tiring for you to trouble two groups at the same time.” Yi Fei looked at Lin Yao with eyes full of respect.
Yi Fei tried his best to soften his expression, but his chiseled face was a no-go zone for such expressions, and he couldn't convey the kindness he desired. Lin Yao noticed this. With his improved skills, Lin Yao's ability to perceive people's emotions had become significantly stronger. He could understand Yi Fei's feelings and thought that this rock-solid man's true nature was fortitude; he probably only expressed gentleness through his tone of voice and his eyes.
Lin Yao smiled casually, "It's alright, I'm not tired. Let these kids stay a while longer so I can observe them. They recover faster here. If they go back to Yanji, it will probably take a long time for them to fully recover. Helping them will save a lot of time. You see, they're all getting impatient."
Following Lin Yao's finger, Yi Fei looked at the two boys rolling and laughing in the unkempt grass. The waist-high weeds were messy and overgrown, trampled into a mess by the two little guys. With Yi Fei's eyesight, he could see that they were covered in mud and grass clippings, and their faces were scratched by sharp leaf teeth. But none of this affected their mood. They seemed not to feel any pain and continued to shout and play.
How happy and lucky I am! Yi Fei sighed inwardly. Recalling how he had watched so many disabled children lose their lives, he was even more grateful to Lin Yao beside him. It was this young elder who had saved them and who had lifted up the hope of the Yi family's revival.
"I'm going to rest for a while. Could you help me take stock of the materials in the pharmacy? I'll start refining pills after I wake up. This time, I need to replenish some 'Life-Giving Pills,' as I'm out of them." Lin Yao looked at the playful children without turning to face Yi Fei to speak. "Also, I'll see if I can refine a few 'Heavenly Fragrance Bone-Regenerating Pills.' The Grand Elder probably likes those, but they're a bit troublesome to refine, and the success rate isn't high."
"Yes, sir." Yi Fei quickly stood up straight, put his feet together, and bowed slightly, his attitude extremely respectful. This respectful attitude was not for Lin Yao's benefit, so he did not care whether Lin Yao was facing him at the moment. He only wanted to express his respect.
Yi Fei was well aware of how precious the "Heavenly Fragrance Bone-Continuing Pill" was. He himself had advanced to the peak of the Earth level because of this one pill. The four "Heavenly Fragrance Bone-Continuing Pills" brought back to Yanji by Elder Yi Dao shocked the entire elder group, because Yi Yang, Yi An, Yi Gong, and another elder, Yi Shui, who had taken this pill, had all advanced to the peak of the Earth level.
Elder Yi Shui was originally at the early stage of the Earth Rank. When Lin Yao moved into Yi Family Town, he helped him regulate his bones and muscles, bringing him to the verge of breaking through to the middle stage of the Earth Rank. Later, after taking a "Dragon Tiger Pill," he directly advanced to the middle stage of the Earth Rank. This time, Yi Dao brought back four "Heavenly Fragrance Bone-Continuing Pills" to Yanji. Besides giving them to Yi Yang, Yi An, and Yi Gong, the remaining one was given to Yi Shui, who had the highest cultivation level. Fortunately, Yi Shui also broke through to the peak stage of the Earth Rank in one fell swoop.
At this time, the Yi family possessed one Heaven-level expert, one peak Earth-level expert, five top-stage Earth-level experts, and five mid-stage Earth-level experts. The number of early-stage Earth-level disciples even reached 162, exceeding the number of disciples at the same level announced by the second-ranked Hong family. According to Yi Yang, the family head and his closest confidant, the First Elder, Yi Potian, no longer had a stern face; he was less strict than before and seemed like a good-natured uncle.
Upon hearing that Lin Yao was going to continue refining the "Heavenly Fragrance Bone-Continuing Pill," Yi Fei felt a surge of excitement. This meant that the Yi family could have a few more top-level Earth-rank experts, and possibly even a few more peak Earth-rank experts.
What Yi Fei didn't know was that the "Heavenly Fragrance Bone-Regenerating Pill" wasn't a pill that could directly enhance one's martial arts skills; its effect was merely to repair and regulate the bones and muscles to the greatest extent possible. The reason why the Yi family members could experience such a significant improvement after taking this pill was mainly due to the wonder of the "Tendon-Changing Technique" and the accumulation of years of perseverance and immense suffering endured by the Yi family members.
The "Yi Jin Jue" is the fastest cultivation technique, but also the most self-destructive. Every member of the Yi family who cultivates the "Yi Jin Jue" suffers severe damage to their tendons and bones. Those who reach the Earth-level are invariably individuals of exceptional talent, meticulous thinking, and unwavering character. Years of cultivation have given them a deep understanding of their own meridians and tendons, allowing them to carefully calculate their tendons' and bones' endurance. This has enabled them to achieve a very high level of control and purity of their true energy. Now, Lin Yao has created a pill most beneficial to their tendons and bones, perfectly solving their most crucial problem. Frequent and intensive breakthroughs are inevitable.
Yi Fei escorted Lin Yao into the elder's room, then hesitated outside the door. He wanted to immediately carry out the elder's order to organize the medicines in the pharmacy, but he was also worried that the elder would be attacked if he left the room. Although Lin Yao had not yet encountered any provocation or accusations from other aristocratic families, information from Yanji indicated that the Yi family members sent to the aristocratic family conference earlier had already caused a sensation. Inevitably, the major aristocratic families would begin to investigate the Yi family's situation, and the elders in the secular world would soon be exposed, so danger could strike at any moment.
"Should I leave to sort out the medicinal herbs?" Yi Fei was conflicted. After frowning and thinking hard for a while, he made a decision.
He'd rather be scolded or even punished than leave Lin Yao's room. His duty to protect Lin Yao was more important; the Yi family couldn't afford any more risks. If the elder was angry, he'd let him take the blame later.
Back in his room, Lin Yao didn't rest immediately. Three days and three nights without sleep hadn't taken much out of him. Even though he had been constantly treating the disabled children with medicine and healing their injuries, it hadn't reduced his true energy much, because he could meditate to recover at any time.
