"I see." Lin Yao replied after a moment's thought. "Agree to their request, but change the pills to 'Dragon-Tiger Pills.' These pills are more effective for martial artists. What would we need 'Life-Giving Pills' for? They're not sick."
Lin Yao intended to use the "Life-Giving Pill" to attract international business. The price of one "Life-Giving Pill" was equivalent to nearly 100 million RMB. That much money could be used to buy an official position, so exchanging it for a quota would be a waste. Coincidentally, the "Dragon-Tiger Pill" was more helpful to martial artists, hence Lin Yao's claim.
It has to be said that human desires are endless. Back when Lin Yao first refined the "Life-Giving Pill", he was willing to sell it for one or two million, and even felt that he was making a profit. Now, even if it costs twenty million per pill, he would think the price is too low. He could earn around one hundred million by using it for international business. After all, the starting price for Lin Yao's treatment is ten million US dollars.
"Thank you, sir. I'll give them two 'Dragon Tiger Pills,' and they'll definitely choose this kind of pill." Elder Yi Potian breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that the matter of a large number of Yi family members joining the army was settled.
Even if they didn't provide the pills, the Pei and Sun families would still offer the same assistance. But since they had asked, if they didn't comply, they would owe them a huge favor. This kind of江湖 (jianghu, the martial arts world) rule still applies to aristocratic families in modern times.
After hanging up the phone, Yi Fei still looked at Lin Yao with his usual gaze. "Sir, the Grand Elder said he won't be coming to Beijing for the time being. The two Grand Elders from the Pei and Sun families are on their way to Yanji, so they can't come to see you."
"It's fine, it doesn't matter whether you come or not." Lin Yao didn't care. He heard the shouts from the playground and wanted to go and see.
At this moment, Lin Yao's state of mind underwent a substantial change. He finally realized the importance of being a master, no longer acting timidly, and developing deeper opinions on people and matters.

The success of experiments conducted on soldiers as guinea pigs is naturally a given.
Fortunately, the warriors Yi Fei selected were strong enough that they survived after eating a small piece of crystal-clear aloe vera leaf pulp, which was slightly green, and while they experienced bleeding from all seven orifices and their skin capillaries bursting, turning them into a scarlet new human species.
Of course, this was largely due to Lin Yao's constant presence by their side, ready to provide emergency care at any time. Otherwise, the only outcome for these soldiers would have been to explode and die, with no other choice.
The soldiers' tragic state was too much for Yi Fei, a tough soldier, to bear. He thought to himself that his boss had always been steady and had a good grasp of the situation, making him very trustworthy. He never expected that his boss would make such a mistake.
Even without much medical knowledge, Yi Fei understood one thing just by witnessing the tragedy that occurred in that instant: the dosage of medicine administered by the young master Lin Yao was not just a little bit too much, but ridiculously excessive, turning the two soldiers who were the first to undergo the experiment into bloody messes, causing them to fall to the ground unconscious.
After driving the remaining three soldiers out of the room where the experiment was being conducted, Lin Yao immediately began to treat the two bloodied men, and at the same time realized that the problems he had previously worried about were not problems at all.
Compared to martial arts practitioners like the Yi family members, ordinary people are far inferior in physical fitness. The difference between the two is like night and day, and the same goes for their endurance.
From now on, Lin Yao only needs to give each soldier a little bit of aloe vera pulp containing free magic power, without having to affect his own work life and cultivation.
"Your warriors are far too weak," Lin Yao murmured as he tried to save them.
Yi Fei raised an eyebrow and rolled his eyes, thinking that this was only because the strongest warriors were specially selected to cooperate with the experiment. If the master saw the physique of an ordinary warrior, he didn't know how many harsh words he would say.
"Yes, sir." Yi Fei answered honestly and respectfully, but his lips twitched as soon as he finished speaking.
Whether they are martial artists or big shots in the military, they can still behave like ordinary people when the conditions are right, and may even occasionally act like children. Those who are completely self-disciplined like robots are either puppets or fanatics.
Yi Fei is of sound mind and will naturally reveal some personal emotions in private, mainly because of Lin Yao's easygoing nature; the two have already developed a very close relationship.
"You disagree with what I said?" Lin Yao was still focused on treating the wounded soldiers. Rescuing them was easy, but repairing the subcutaneous capillaries was a bit more troublesome. He didn't want these two soldiers to become red people when they left the house.
As for the broken blood vessels and damaged organs inside the body, once they are roughly repaired, the medicinal energy of "Baiyun Dan" can slowly nourish and treat them, since outsiders can't see it anyway.
“No, sir, I completely agree with you. They are far too weak, like chicks.” Yi Fei’s tone was serious, and he strongly agreed with Lin Yao’s words.
"Then why are you baring your teeth? Oh, and glaring at me too."
This... Yi Fei was suddenly startled, his mind in turmoil. He had already thought highly of Lin Yao, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him.
Not daring to reply, Yi Fei pretended to be deaf.
Just as Yi Fei had concluded, the two soldiers, although suffering the most pain as the first to test the drug, also gained the greatest benefits.
After Lin Yao's intervention, the free-floating witch power had completely transformed the bodies of these two warriors, leaving no aftereffects. This resulted in a qualitative improvement in the two brave warriors' explosive power, endurance, flexibility, and reaction speed. As a result, they swept the championships and runners-up in the relevant events of the All-Army Grand Competition, including the shooting event. Because Lin Yao felt a little embarrassed, he also helped them adjust their vision and nourish their optic nerve bundles.
The remaining three soldiers were recruited. Under the watchful eyes of the two soldiers who had been the first to test the drug, who were resting nearby, the three soldiers were like warriors heading to battle. They gritted their teeth and frowned as they swallowed the remaining three pieces of aloe vera pulp, which made Yi Fei, who was standing beside them, somewhat worried.
Yi Fei had been observing the entire process. He clearly saw that the five small pieces cut from a single piece of aloe vera leaf pulp were indistinguishable from one another. Now, Lin Yao was clearly saying that the soldiers were too weak and the dosage was too high, yet he still didn't change the leaf pulp used for the experiment. Wasn't this the same experimental result? Did this mean that every soldier's strength improvement would require Lin Yao to treat them?
What Yi Fei didn't know was that the remaining three pieces of aloe vera pulp had already been improved by Xiao Cao. Most of the beneficial magical power contained in them had been absorbed by her, leaving less than one-tenth of the original amount, so naturally it wouldn't cause any consequences.
The expected situation did not occur. Yi Fei saw three soldiers gritting their teeth, trembling all over, struggling to hold on. Their facial expressions were distorted, as if they were enduring excruciating pain, but compared to the previous two soldiers, it was extremely mild.
Lin Yao nodded, and Yi Fei sent the five soldiers away. The three trembling soldiers were helped out by two recovered comrades. They were unable to walk on their own because all their strength and energy were used to resist the pain in their bodies.
"You need to lower the dosage further. Your soldiers are really weak." Lin Yao frowned and said something that made Yi Fei extremely frustrated.
"Oh, right, bring me the bullets and silencer. I'm going back to Beijing, and I can't be late for work."
A sudden remark almost made Yi Fei lose his balance. He simply couldn't understand why Lin Yao still needed to go to work.
Is it really valuable and meaningful to help others work and suffer mistreatment?
"Sir, I'll accompany you back to Beijing." Yi Fei put aside his confusion and found an excuse to go with Lin Yao back to Beijing. He wanted to find out about Yi An and Yi Guoguo's situation. This was the task the Grand Elder had assigned him yesterday, and it was also something Yi Fei wanted to know. In fact, he envied Yi An and Yi Guoguo for being able to follow Lin Yao. Just from yesterday's thick fog, he wondered how much they had benefited. He was quite envious.
Watching Lin Yao turn and leave, Yi Fei really hoped that Lin Yao could also practice his skills that night and generate some spiritual energy so that he could also experience it. As for those big commotions, that was not within his consideration.
"Cheng Kun, Teng Yi, take good care of your three comrades and prepare the management regulations for the large-scale training exercise." Yi Fei appeared in the outer room, instantly regaining his imposing manner. His tone and aura made Lin Yao, who was walking ahead, stop and look back. "The large-scale training exercise will establish a vanguard brigade, with Cheng Kun as the captain and Teng Yi as the deputy captain. The three of you will each lead three squads. We must win first place in the all-army competition! First place in every event!"
