Chapter 4078 - 4097: So It Was Just a Guaranteed Minimum

After settling down at the White Cloud Manor, Lin Chen sent a message to Jia Xue and others on Planet 49.Lin Chen recounted the recent situation of our group, and if things aren’t too busy on Planet 49, they could form a team and come to Planet 11 once they reached the seventh level peak.

Firstly, they could come out for a tour and change their mood; secondly, by the time they arrived, I would have prepared potions for them, allowing them to directly engage in closed door cultivation for promotion.

After notifying Jia Xue and others, Lin Chen also chatted with Fang Du Zhou.

After years of treatment, Fang Du Zhou’s wife had recovered mostly, being able to get out of bed and take care of herself without needing him to assist.

Upon learning that Lin Chen intended to settle on Planet 11 and had become friends with the planet’s influential families, Fang Du Zhou changed his mind and decided to stay on Planet 11.

Had it not been absolutely necessary, he would rather not bother Ning Xiuzhu, nor would he want to disturb them.

When Lin Chen saw Fang Du Zhou’s decision to stay, he didn’t stand on ceremony and let them reside in the manor, as there were several buildings with plenty of rooms.

During dinner, Lin Chen mentioned Fang Du Zhou’s situation to Xu Qingchuan.

Xu Qingchuan immediately made a phone call, instructing his professional team to evaluate Fang Du Zhou’s patents and find a suitable buyer for them at an appropriate price.

For Xu Qingchuan, this was perfectly aligned with his expertise and was just a matter of a few words.

Fang Du Zhou was overjoyed at this, as he could start a completely new life here.

This was thanks to Lin Chen; if it hadn’t been for Lin Chen previously arranging for Charming Erosion to act out several scenarios, allowing him to slip out of sight, he might still be carrying the identity of a wanted criminal by the Federation, unable to live as openly even if he changed planets.

In the ensuing time, Lin Chen and the other three settled at the White Cloud Manor, cultivating while guiding Xu Qingchuan on cultivation.

Before leaving the Heavenly God Realm again, Lin Chen and the others had stored a massive amount of cultivation resources in their spatial rings, considering they wouldn’t be returning frequently after moving their families.

Given the possibility of newcomers engaging in cultivation in the future, like future children, they had prepared many suitable initial materials, which were now proving useful.

The full package of washing meridians, enhanced body tempering, was arranged for Xu Qingchuan.

As Xu Qingchuan said, even though he was born into wealth, he was not averse to hardship. After all, what’s a bit of hardship for a man in pursuit of cultivation and looking handsome?

Isn’t the gym where you also sweat profusely?

He’s already not young, so he must strive harder to enter the Qi Refining Period swiftly, stabilize his physical condition, and prevent further aging.

Xu Qingchuan received a batch of potions from Lin Chen, produced by the Huang Family’s prescription, and promised to help Lin Chen exchange them for eighth level promotion potions controlled by other forces.

"Although the Huang Family’s eighth level potion prescription is somewhat lacking in efficacy, considering the materials used, it is actually quite excellent."

"The potion from the Zhang Family you acquired earlier was based on much rarer materials, but the quality is far superior, with a higher promotion success rate."

Upon hearing Xu Qingchuan’s explanation, Lin Chen realized, "No wonder when we four first used the Huang Family’s potion, only one person achieved promotion, then later, when three of us used the Huang Family’s potion, two were promoted."

"How is the quality of this potion assessed?"

Xu Qingchuan replied, "The development of potions involves exploring scientific pathways through accidental success; some raw materials may trigger warriors to successfully promote, but why did it work for them?"

"People tend to seek experience from success and failure to ultimately achieve stable success. With the advance of technology, research into matters has deepened."

"When it was discovered that more than one kind of material could lead to warrior promotion, scientists began comparing these materials laterally to find commonalities."

"Through initial verification, they discovered a specific enzyme present in all materials causing promotion, and cross-validation confirmed this enzyme could indeed assist seventh level peak warriors to advance to eighth level."

"After identifying the crucial factor, reverse reasoning can determine which materials contain this specific enzyme and how to convert it into an effect capable of stimulating warrior promotion."

"As this theory spread, major forces across the Cosmic Federation became busy, exploring various planets to find potential raw materials containing this enzyme."

"Merely finding raw materials isn’t enough since this enzyme is unique; it’s very active and can form different compounds with different molecules, so studying it is the second step."

"This resulted in various promotion prescriptions throughout the universe, all developed by major forces investing tremendous energy, with involved raw materials often being sparse. If a prescription were made public, these materials would be quickly hoarded and exhausted, leaving you with a prescription but without materials."

Lin Chen nodded: "No wonder the large families keep their prescriptions so secret to prevent material leakage, leading to resource hoarding and eventual extinction?"

"Exactly."

Xu Qingchuan laughed, "Such instances have occurred too often, even if a prescription’s materials aren’t extreme, the official departments won’t let them spread carelessly."

"They might not prevent an already circulating prescription, but they can control raw materials using Federation laws, so knowing a prescription is useless."

"Over time, these prescriptions fall under official and upper-class control, making it impossible for ordinary warriors to easily buy materials and produce potions."

Lin Chen had previously discussed official management issues with Zhang Zhongjiu, and now Xu Qingchuan explained it even more bluntly.

Yes, officials won’t allow prescription proliferation; otherwise, there would be eighth level warriors everywhere, wild and uncontrolled, which is undesirable for authorities.

This is similar to ancient management of crossbows, battle armor, etc., back at Lin Chen’s hometown.

"What’s the quality level of the Huang Family’s potion?"

Xu Qingchuan smiled, "The official uses structure activity to classify levels, five in total, level one being the lowest and level five the highest. I had it tested, and the Huang Family’s potion just scrapes into level one, nearing level two but staying within level one’s data range."

Lin Chen’s expression was helpless, "I thought we struck it big, but it turned out to be a basic placeholder..."
