Chapter 204: The Effect Is Astounding! Quenching Impurities?
Chen Han entered the hall and took some Spirit Flower Pollen from the warehouse, roughly enough to make what Ms. Liao needed.
He also found a metal bowl and a pestle. Later he would need to crush the aloe vera and rely on these to mix the Spirit Flower Pollen with the aloe vera and olive oil until even.
After coming out, he put the metal bowl and pestle on the table, then looked again at Liao Shuang. “Ms. Liao, I’m going to make the scar removal cream for you shortly, but I need to film a treatment video, especially to record the burned area. You don’t have any objections, do you?”
Seeing that the Chen Family Head clearly intended to make scar removal cream to treat her, even though she was doubtful about aloe vera and olive oil and the like, Liao Shuang still nodded immediately. “Family Head Chen, I will cooperate.”
Chen Han nodded and took out his mobile phone to open the camera.
Liao Shuang was indeed very cooperative. She lifted the hair covering one side of her face again, revealing the ferocious burn.
Aiming at the lens, Chen Han filmed and spoke. “The battle between righteousness and demons is growing more intense. A fellow daoist was plotted against and had her face destroyed by demonic flame. Now she has come to seek help from the Chen Clan. I plan to make a batch of Spirit Flower Paste to treat her burns!”
This sudden abstract line clearly stunned Liao Shuang for a moment; her expression turned blank, then filled with embarrassment.
Chu Ping and Chen Kai exchanged a look. They truly admired how naturally abstract the family head could be; no wonder he now had over 5 million fans.
They themselves felt a bit of secondhand embarrassment just watching from the side.
Before long, Xiao Yu, dressed in hanfu, arrived with some aloe vera and olive oil and handed them to him. “Senior brother, here are the things you asked for.”
Chen Han took the aloe vera and olive oil, put them together with the metal bowl, pestle, and Spirit Flower Pollen, then lifted his phone to film a shot. “These are the Hundred Year Dragon Tongue, Hundred Flower Spirit Powder, osmanthus spirit oil, medicine refining bowl, and Spirit Gathering Pestle needed to make Spirit Flower Paste. The medicine refining bowl and Spirit Gathering Pestle are top-grade spirit tools used for refining medicine.”
Xiao Yu immediately knew her senior brother was filming again, and just as abstract as ever.
They were clearly just a bowl costing a few coins and an ordinary pestle, yet he called them spirit tools.
Liao Shuang deeply trusted the family head. Even so, she now felt inexplicably nervous. Was the legendary Chen Clan scar removal cream really made with such simple things?
This was completely different from what she had imagined.
Chen Han handed the phone to his junior sister. “Help me film.”
Xiao Yu nodded, took the phone, and aimed the lens at what she judged was the best angle on her senior brother.
Seeing this, Chen Han first picked up the pestle and put the aloe vera into the metal bowl, speaking as he worked. “The first step in refining Spirit Flower Paste is to use the spirit tool Spirit Gathering Pestle to crush the Hundred Year Dragon Tongue and extract its essence.”
“Now I have crushed the Hundred Year Dragon Tongue. A rich spiritual energy is emanating from this hundred-year spiritual medicine, rapidly spreading into the air.”
“Fortunately I have the spirit tool Spirit Gathering Pestle in my hands, which can bind and gather all this spiritual energy into the medicine refining bowl. Next is to add osmanthus oil, an excellent material for refining spirit paste. Once fused, it will be able to…”
Chen Han seemed immersed in the video’s plot, as if he truly were using spirit tools and hundred-year spiritual medicine to refine an ointment.
The sense of immersion made Chu Ping and Chen Kai admire him all over again. He could improvise like this at will, and with this acting, even professional actors would be ashamed by comparison.
Finally, Chen Han poured the Spirit Flower Pollen into the metal bowl and began to stir. “Now we are at the final step of refining Spirit Flower Paste. Pour in the Hundred Flower Spirit Powder and activate the medicine refining powder to refine it.”
“As the refining runes of the medicine refining bowl are activated, flowing spiritual markings begin to appear throughout the bowl. These spiritual markings merge in, fusing together the effects of the Hundred Flower Spirit Powder, Hundred Year Dragon Tongue, and osmanthus oil… and at last, a batch of Spirit Flower Paste is completed.”
After Chen Han set down the pestle, he took the phone back from his junior sister and instructed her, “Junior sister, help Ms. Liao apply the scar removal cream.”
Hearing the instruction, Xiao Yu quickly took the bowl of scar removal cream and went to ask in front of Liao Shuang, “Ms. Liao, where is your wound?”
Looking at the scar removal cream in the metal bowl, Liao Shuang’s cheek twitched slightly.
She had thought this was just something the family head was fooling around with for the video, and that he would take out a separate batch of real scar removal cream for actual use.
Who would have thought the casually prepared ointment would be exactly what he intended to apply to her?
Wasn’t this a bit too casual?
Chu Ping and Chen Kai also found this unbelievable.
That scar removal cream of which a small portion alone could sell for more than thirty thousand, was it really made this casually by the family head?
My god. If the outside world knew, many people’s heads would be buzzing.
Though doubtful, Liao Shuang still cooperated very well and once again lifted the hair covering one side of her face.
She had managed, through sincere repentance, to gain the family head’s forgiveness and did not want to anger him again because of this.
Just like Uncle Liu had said, an unfated person would miss out even if something truly good was placed right before them.
She did not want to be such an unfated person.
If she had not known better, who would dare believe that the scar removal cream famous from the national style event was made so casually by the family head?
Seeing the burn, Xiao Yu’s eyes widened slightly; she felt a pang of sympathy for this woman.
Her appearance was clearly very beautiful, and this burn had ruined her. For a woman, this should be a state of utter despair.
“Don’t worry, Ms. Liao. My senior brother’s scar removal cream is very effective. It will heal you.” Xiao Yu could not help but comfort her, then began applying the ointment to the burn scars.
As the ointment was spread on her face, Liao Shuang immediately felt a cool, icy sensation, very wondrous.
It was not like the normal coolness of ointment on the skin.
It seemed that once the ointment was laid on her face, some special substance burrowed into her skin. It felt very comfortable.
But this comfortable feeling did not last long. After Xiao Yu finished applying the ointment, she began to feel a tingling itch.
At this point Xiao Yu reminded her, “Ms. Liao, not long after this scar removal cream is applied, you’ll feel a tingling itch. That means it’s working. You absolutely must not scratch it.”
Hearing this, Liao Shuang nodded. This was definitely good news for her.
But the itching grew stronger and stronger. She felt restless all over, and she could not help letting out soft hums.
This made her feel embarrassed.
Xiao Yu knew about the itchy feeling when the scar removal cream was regenerating scars. As Xiao Mi Jie said, it was caused by the nerve endings at the wound regrowing and recovering.
The scar on her own hip had itched so badly after her senior brother helped apply the ointment that it was almost unbearable. Seeing how uncomfortable Liao Shuang was now, she reminded her, “Ms. Liao, you can go back to your lodging to rest now. You need to leave this scar removal cream on until tomorrow.”
“Thank you.” Liao Shuang nodded in gratitude.
She was very uncomfortable now and worried she might lose control of herself, so she apologized, took her leave, and left the courtyard.
After she left, Chu Ping spoke again. “Family Head Chen, we still need you to sign those documents so our county can put them on record. Also, for the integration of these industries, your Chen Clan needs to send someone to hand over with Ms. Liao’s side.”
Chen Han nodded. This merit industry donated by Ms. Liao was different from the mountain Mr. Liu had donated before.
This set of industries included acquiring original factories in Linhe County, as well as newly built factories and purchased equipment, so someone needed to take over and coordinate.
After the two county leaders left, Chen Han turned to look at his junior sister.
But she hurriedly said, “Senior brother, I’m already very busy. You can’t really treat me like a workhorse.”
With that, she slipped away.
Chen Han knew his junior sister indeed had a lot on her plate. He had to find someone else.
Currently within the Chen Clan’s functions, Uncle Shuisheng was in charge of production.
But Uncle Shuisheng handled specialty product production. The things made in these factories could not be considered specialty products; they were completely different.
Uncle, the Hall Master of the Crafting Hall, however, had many skills. He could make incense sticks and also tools for the Daoist sects, so having Uncle manage things was possible.
Moreover, Uncle was closest to the main family. The issue was Uncle’s capabilities in this area, since he had no prior experience.
So Chen Han decided to have Chen Xiaoyan help first, and later see if there was anyone else to assist Uncle.
Thinking this, he called Uncle and Chen Xiaoyan.
Before long, the two of them arrived together.
“Xiao Han, what’s so urgent?” Chen Lin asked as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Chen Han directly handed them the documents for the merit industry donated by Liao Shuang. “Here is a new merit industry that the clan must manage. I plan to have you in charge, uncle.”
“Sister Yan, if you’re not too busy, you can assist uncle from the side and get this factory’s production on the right track.”
“Things are going well with Chen Wen on my side, so I can spare some time for now,” Chen Xiaoyan said, looking in surprise at the industrial documents.
This integrated factory complex was no small scale, and someone would just donate it like that?
It seemed the Heavenly Lord of Demon Subjugation of their family had gained another wealthy believer.
Chen Han chatted with his uncle and Chen Xiaoyan for a while longer and explained some matters.
After the two of them left, he took out the video he had just filmed and began editing it.
Although the video was just as abstract, it would count as an advertisement for the scar removal cream.
Even though the scar removal cream was already very famous due to Mr. Liu’s acquisition, there were not actually many people online who had really seen its effects.
Once Ms. Liao’s burns were fully healed and they posted a comparison, it would probably shock the entire internet.
The only worry was that no one would believe such a miraculous thing, and people would claim it was done with special effects, or that Ms. Liao’s initial scars were makeup.
After all, there were too many people online pretending to understand. When they saw something with effects beyond common sense, their instinct was disbelief and refutation.
Some would even say stupid things like, “I’d never believe it unless you let me try it myself.”
This applied not only to products but also to many very capable people who became popular for professional videos; such people would face all kinds of contempt and disdain.
They were the type who found it hard to “admit others are excellent,” and there were quite a lot of them.
Most crucially, if the scar removal cream’s effects exploded in popularity, those cosmetics and plastic surgery companies would panic. There was no way they wouldn’t push back hard, with armies of paid commenters stirring things up.
However, that did not matter to him. It would all just send him more traffic, and it was not as if he was begging anyone to believe in the effects of the scar removal cream.
Besides, the Spirit Flower Pollen was running low, and the Thief Demon Bees had not appeared again for some time, so he did not know if there would be more drops.
It was possible the scar removal cream would soon become an out-of-print item.
At the Chen Clan, Liao Shuang also booked a detached courtyard, and directly for half a month.
After returning to her lodging, she shut herself in her room and could not help but let out soft hums.
The itching on her face was truly unbearable; it made her want to moan.
Humming a bit made her feel much better.
Still, the sensation was torment. By evening she had almost no appetite for dinner, and even late into the night she found it hard to sleep.
She truly wanted to wash off the scar removal cream, but when she thought of her burned face, she forced herself to endure.
Early the next morning, she woke up groggy. She did not even know when she had fallen asleep.
She had not slept long, and woke with her head buzzing and heavy.
Getting out of bed, she realized the itching on her face was gone, and clearly felt a layer of something coating her skin, like oil, or like a face mask left on all night after its essence had dried.
Instinctively, she went to the restroom and rinsed her face with clean water in front of the mirror, seeing a layer of black gunk wash off.
It was the residue of the scar removal cream, which had turned completely pitch black after the night.
She reflexively washed her face once more; the cool water felt wonderfully soothing.
When she looked up at the mirror, she could no longer hold back the excitement on her face. Her face was not fully healed yet, but it obviously no longer looked like a ferocious coiling dragon.
If the severity of the burn had been a 10 before, it was now only a
At this level, you could still see it without makeup, but with a thicker layer of foundation, it could be completely concealed.
Her whole body trembled with excitement. That sense of despair had crushed her for so long she could barely breathe.
She had been to many hospitals, and all had said only skin grafts were possible. But everyone knew the consequences of skin grafting, and even after grafting, there was absolutely no way to recover to a condition where makeup alone could cover it.
Now, after using the scar removal cream that Family Head Chen made for her, the effect was so terrifying that a single treatment had brought her to this state.
The effect was incredible.
The key was that this scar removal cream had been made so casually by the family head.
Thinking back to his process yesterday, she found it increasingly unbelievable. She remembered a saying: “High-end ingredients often only require the simplest cooking.”
Now this miraculous scar removal cream also required only the simplest method to make?
The more she thought about it, the more magical it seemed.
…
Sometimes when you keep talking about something, it really is likely to happen.
The next day, just after Chen Han finished cultivating at the special spiritual aperture and completed the medicinal cuisine in Uncle’s Kitchen, he received a call from Uncle Shuisheng. “Xiao Han, those Thief Bees are back. We need you to bring those Lion Head Geese to help.”
The Giant Demonic Bees could produce royal jelly, which would be a Chen Clan specialty product in the future, so that matter had already been assigned to Uncle Shuisheng.
“Got it.” Chen Han hung up, went straight to the Spirit Beast Hall, took out the Beast Taming Flute, and led the Lion Head Geese to the beekeeping area.
Along the way, they attracted a lot of attention from tourists, one after another excitedly filming with their phones.
By the time he arrived at the beekeeping area with the Lion Head Geese, many tourists had followed.
But seeing the sky full of bees, none of them dared draw too close.
Next came a fierce battle, and it was extremely brutal.
After leaving the ground littered with corpses, the Thief Bees once again fled in a sorry state, but this time they left behind only a cluster of White Light.
Chen Han calmly put that cluster of White Light into the game warehouse. It was just a portion of royal jelly.
This would soon no longer be in short supply, so it was not much of a surprise.
“These Lion Head Geese are more useful than us fighting for half a day,” Chen Shuisheng could not help sighing.
Chen Han replied, then suddenly looked in surprise at the placement of the bee boxes.
Two clusters of light were actually floating above two of the bee boxes.
These did not seem to be drops from the Thief Demon Bees.
Just as calmly, he went up and put the two clusters of White Light into the game warehouse. After seeing the items and remark information, he was surprised.
【Spirit Flower Pollen: This is special spiritual flower pollen collected by the family’s tamed Giant Demonic Bees. It is an important material for producing royal jelly. These seem to be some left outside by the family’s tamed Giant Demonic Bees. Use it to refine special Spirit Flower Paste, which has a scar removal +2 effect on skin scars.】
Chen Han was amazed by the remark information. So the Giant Demonic Bee boxes had this function too? Not only could they produce royal jelly, they could also yield Spirit Flower Pollen?
This was absolutely an unexpected surprise.
In an instant, Chen Han’s mood soared. He once again blew the Beast Taming Flute and led the Lion Head Geese back to the Spirit Beast Hall.
When he returned to Uncle’s Courtyard, he saw that Ms. Liao had come again. Today she had her hair brushed aside and was no longer covering the burned side of her face.
At a glance, Chen Han saw her condition. It had recovered by about seventy percent, not fully healed yet.
He understood that her burns had been too severe, and one application of the scar removal cream yesterday had not been enough for a complete recovery.
“Family Head Chen, the scar removal cream you made is amazing,” said Liao Shuang, her eyes full of expectation. She clearly wanted her burns to be fully healed.
Chen Han understood her thoughts. Since he had made a move, he would perfect it. The key now was that Spirit Flower Pollen actually had a source, so he no longer had to worry about the scar removal cream.
He directly called his junior sister and asked her to bring aloe vera and olive oil again.
When Xiao Yu arrived with the ingredients and saw Liao Shuang’s face, she was greatly surprised. She had known the scar removal cream was effective, but not how effective.
After all, the scars she and Lobster and the others had treated were small, and they had recovered quickly with the cream, which did not fully showcase its capabilities.
Now seeing Ms. Liao’s condition, she was completely shocked by the effect of the scar removal cream.
Chen Han was already adept at making the cream. Before long, he had another batch ready and handed it to Liao Shuang with instructions. “Ms. Liao, you can take this scar removal cream back and apply it yourself. By tomorrow your scars should be fully healed. At that time our Chen Clan will arrange something to help you with a blessing ritual.”
“Thank you, Family Head Chen.” Taking the scar removal cream, Liao Shuang expressed her sincere gratitude. She knew that praying for blessings meant they would help treat her eyes; that was how Uncle Liu’s symptoms had been cured.
Sure enough, the Chen Clan truly could treat these difficult and complicated conditions; they just did not admit it publicly.
She really felt fortunate to have such good fortune.
After Liao Shuang left, Chen Han continued tending to the medicinal cuisine. In the afternoon, he received a call from the express delivery service. The special metal ornaments he had custom ordered to use for refining the beginner Refine Yin Transform Yang skill had arrived.
After signing for the package, he opened the packaging box, took out the two metal ornaments, then took out the beginner Refining Stone for Refine Yin Transform Yang from the warehouse and attempted refinement.
【The current ornaments contain many impurities, which will cause severe breaks in runes and energy during refinement, leading to failure. Please quench the impurities from the ornaments before proceeding with refinement…】
Chen Han was taken aback. This time it did not say he needed to replace the ornaments. It seemed they could be refined, yet also could not.
He understood what impurities were.
As for quenching those impurities…
Suddenly his eyes lit up. He had thought of a method.
