"From a medical perspective, it's not as bad as you might imagine. After all, traditional Dragon country medicine still includes things like animal feces and hair."
"And it's not that I'm unwilling to directly provide you with the raw ingredient, the Mountain Lord Flower, but rather it's incredibly precious. I need to use it for my cultivation first. Only then can the residual medicinal properties dissolved into the liquid be used to create the Elixir of Longevity for you," Ying Chen added.
Min Ziqiong was utterly speechless at this point.
So, this Elixir of Longevity wasn't just Ying Chen's bathwater, but also the residue after he bathed!
Good heavens, if this news got out, the product would probably be stillborn before it even launched!
Min Ziqiong pondered for a long time, then said, "As long as the medicinal efficacy can be guaranteed, these aren't major issues. Of course, we absolutely cannot publicly claim it's bath residue. We must give it a formal name and list it among other medicinal ingredients."
"Let's just call it Heavenly River Water."
"As for subsequent purification, that's a minor matter. The immediate priority is to find ways to verify its pharmacology and medicinal properties to obtain market approval."
"You handle it," Ying Chen said, adopting a hands-off approach.
He then ushered her out again.
It was time for Ying Chen's bath again.
Although his 'Immaculate Golden Body' had achieved minor success in recent days, it was still far from perfect.
Ying Chen had to seize the time to cultivate and overcome this hurdle.
Min Ziqiong soon left, carrying the Elixir of Longevity.
That night, the light in Min Ziqiong's room never went out.
The sound of frantic typing could be heard from her room, indicating she had stayed up all night preparing for the launch of the Elixir of Longevity.
Early the next morning, Min Ziqiong set out with a USB drive.
The drive contained the PowerPoint presentation she had revised and rewritten all night.
This PowerPoint, along with the pharmacological testing of the Elixir of Longevity, would be crucial for its market debut.
However, Min Ziqiong had already been jointly ostracized by the Min clan.
Seeking to launch the Elixir of Longevity through traditional channels had become a pipe dream.
Therefore, while researching last night, she discovered an opportunity.
An opportunity that, if successful, could make the Elixir of Longevity famous and rapidly enter the public eye!
That was the triennial International Life Sciences Conference!
This year's conference was coincidentally being held in Jianghai.
However, today was the last day. Ordinarily, after the closing speeches by experts in the morning, it would officially conclude.
Thus, Min Ziqiong only had half a day. Despite staying up all night, she had to leave early this morning, fearing she might miss her chance.
The venue of the Life Sciences Conference.
In a conference room that could accommodate hundreds of people, scientists from both within Dragon country and abroad sat attentively, their faces serious.
This year's Life Sciences Conference held immense significance.
This was because laboratories funded by two companies had made encouraging progress in extending human lifespan.
One was the Eden Laboratory, supported by an American banking giant. Scientists in this lab had discovered an enzyme in the human body that participated in all cellular evolution related to aging and death.
The longer a person's lifespan, the higher the content of this enzyme.
This meant that if a method could be found to synthesize this enzyme, human lifespan could be increased to varying degrees!
The other laboratory was from a chaebol in Goryeo.
Through the double helix structure of human DNA, they discovered something: the human life cycle is approximately 15.15 times a multiplier!
This meant that starting from the day of human gestation, 266 days multiplied by 15.15 equals 11 years!
This was the first life cycle of humans.
And multiplying 11 years by 15.15 brought humans to their second life cycle, which was 167 years!
This was also the theoretical and practical limit of human lifespan, which no one could currently exceed.
To break through this life cycle, the double helix structure of human DNA needed to be modified, which would then have a chance of achieving immortality.
However, the specific operational procedures were unknown to this laboratory.
This was because their theory was merely an experimental conjecture, lacking actual verification.
If a person of immortality were to voluntarily participate in the experiment and allow them to dissect and study them, they believed they could surely find a way to break through the human lifespan limit.
If Ying Chen were present, he would likely have no hesitation in delivering a couple of hard slaps to the researchers of this laboratory.
What kind of immortal would be foolish enough to voluntarily let you dissect them?
Among the research findings of the two laboratories, the first one was considered the most promising.
After all, it sounded somewhat feasible.
While the second laboratory's theory sounded good, its feasibility was nonexistent.
Unless they were willing to spend vast sums of money searching the world for immortal individuals, and the best targets would naturally be those Xuanmen masters.
However, even the chaebols, who could dominate Goryeo, would absolutely not want to antagonize Xuanmen masters, especially if such an action could offend all Xuanmen masters.
Which Xuanmen master cultivated for years just to be a guinea pig for a chaebol?
It was likely that if they knew the chaebol had such intentions, the Xuanmen masters would unite and eliminate the chaebol before they could even act!
"Chairman Gao, why don't we conclude quickly! You must know that many of our experts are eager to have some one-on-one interactions with the Eden Laboratory."
"Furthermore, some experts are also interested in the findings of the Goryeo laboratory."
"Since we've reached the closing time, let's just finish quickly and allow everyone to network freely!"
At this point, someone made a suggestion.
Chairman Gao, the host and rotating chairman of this year's conference, consulted with others on both sides.
He nodded.
"Alright! The appearance of two exciting research outcomes at this conference is already considered a great success. If further sparks can be ignited through private exchanges, then all the better."
"Therefore, I won't waste everyone's time any further and will directly cancel the meaningless, lengthy, and complicated closing ceremony!"
"As researchers, we don't need these flashy formalities!"
Chairman Gao stood up and announced loudly.
Upon hearing this, the audience immediately burst into applause.
They all felt that Chairman Gao's actions were very popular.
"Then – the meeting is adjourned!"
Chairman Gao waved his hand.
The people below rose in unison, bowed, and took their leave.
As people began to disperse, the Life Sciences Conference was about to end prematurely.
Just then, Min Ziqiong arrived at the entrance of the venue.
Min Ziqiong had initially thought she had plenty of time, as it was only half past nine.
But to her surprise, as soon as she arrived, she saw large groups of attendees exiting the venue.
This left her dumbfounded.
"What's going on?" Min Ziqiong asked the security guard at the entrance, bewildered.
The guard replied, "The conference ended early."
Upon hearing this, Min Ziqiong became anxious.
She rushed inside with abandon, shouting as she ran, "Wait! I still have a result to present!"
"Without this result, your conference will not be complete! You will regret it for the rest of your lives!"
