The Lingyang Grass contains a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, serving as a spiritual medicine to fortify the body, consolidate the foundation, and dispel toxins and blood stasis. This is precisely why the Bing Tian Zheng Qi Tang can thoroughly assist patients in combating kidney cancer cells.
When the patient's body strengthens and the immune system is rebuilt, that is the key to defeating cancer cells.
The other medicinal ingredient, Gui Xue Teng, is also extremely important. Although its dosage is very small among all the medications, the sap of Gui Xue Teng possesses a very special effect: it destroys the DNA of cancer cells.
The reason cancer cells can divide madly is due to mutations in their DNA, which is also why cancer is so difficult to cure.
However, with the sap of Gui Xue Teng, these mutated cancer cells find it difficult to continue dividing and reproducing, especially for stubborn cancers, making this ingredient indispensable.
Of course, the growing environment for the Gui Xue Teng plant is even more demanding. It is a parasitic plant that can only grow by attaching itself to a rare plant called the Xi Feng Tree. Currently, there are only a little over a dozen of these trees left in the world, all located in the deep mountains of southern China that have yet to be reached by human footsteps.
Although the Lingyang Grass is very rare, its description can be found in the literature of some botanists. However, the Gui Xue Teng has essentially become extinct in nature.
Even Ling Tian's acquisition of Gui Xue Teng was a coincidence. Shen Nong High-Tech sent Ling Tian some very rare and unusual seeds, which Ling Tian planted in the Immortal Herb Garden, and among them was Gui Xue Teng.
After these plants grew, Ling Tian found descriptions of Gui Xue Teng in his inherited knowledge.
Ling Tian established four separate factories solely for these three types of medicinal ingredients. Each factory would extract one type of medicine, and another factory would then mix these three medicines together.
These mixed medicinal juices would ultimately be sent to the production workshops of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical, where they would be added to the original medicinal liquid.
It was for this reason that when Section Chief Bu Yao Lian reviewed this drug, he demanded Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's product formula. He also hinted to Bing Tian Pharmaceutical that if they did not provide the relevant formula, their drug might have difficulty passing the approval.
This was a very excessive demand, as for pharmaceutical companies, especially those dealing with traditional Chinese medicine, providing the prescription could lead to the leakage of their production process.
However, Ling Tian readily agreed without hesitation. His confidence stemmed from these three ingredients.
Apart from Ling Tian's Immortal Herb Garden, no other place in the world could mass-produce and stably supply these medicines!
"Baka, hurry and investigate! I want information on Lingyang Grass and Gui Xue Teng!" Kawashima Koichi said furiously.
"Hai!" Kato Hidemaru agreed and quickly arranged for his subordinates to investigate.
Several hours later, he reported the investigation results to Kawashima Koichi.
"President, we deployed several supercomputers and contacted hundreds of universities and biological laboratories, but we only found information and related samples for Lingyang Grass.
As for Gui Xue Teng, there are currently no relevant documents or records. It is only mentioned in ancient legends from some regions of China, but the descriptions are very general...
According to our scientists' analysis, the so-called Gui Xue Teng mentioned in those documents is likely several types of climbing plants..."
Kawashima Koichi took the documents and trembled all over after reading them.
Lingyang Grass was scarce and difficult to propagate, making large-scale mass production impossible.
Tianshan Snow Lotus over 20 years old was a rarity. Even if they started cultivating it now, it would take another 20 years to harvest...
And that damned Gui Xue Teng, they still didn't know what kind of plant it was or where to find it. However, they could surmise with their heels that this plant must be extremely rare and valuable!
"Kato-kun, proceed with producing this drug according to the production process you obtained. As for those three special ingredients, find substitutes!"
"Hai!" Kato Hidemaru nodded obediently. Just then, Kawashima Masao, who had been silent beside them, suddenly spoke.
"Father, while others may not know about these three ingredients, Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's President Wang Qing Tian and his daughter, Wang Bing Xia, the major shareholder of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical, must know!
We can control them and use some methods to force them to reveal what those drugs are and their sources!"
"Yoshi, this is a way to break the deadlock, but it's not easy. If Wang Qing Tian disappears, someone will suspect us!
And I heard that a prominent Chinese family is currently protecting Bing Tian Pharmaceutical. China is also an important market for us now, and we cannot abandon the entire Chinese market for one drug; that would be too much of a loss!"
"Father, then we can capture Wang Bing Xia.
As far as I know, Wang Qing Tian dotes on his daughter. If something happens to his daughter, he will definitely lose his composure, and he is very likely to agree to all our demands."
"Yoshi, let's do that. Remember, we don't have to act personally. We can hire others to do it, and absolutely do not let anyone catch our handle, after all, this is China!"
"I understand, Father!"
...
Bing Tian Pharmaceutical's troubles were resolved, and the company was back on track. What they needed to do next was to drastically expand their production capacity to meet the incoming orders.
Bing Tian Pharmaceutical was already adept at such matters. Since launching their hit cosmetic products, they had been in a state of rapid expansion. They had already acquired over a dozen factories, but it seemed that this was still far from enough.
Wang Bing Xia stayed in the capital to assist her father, Wang Qing Tian, in managing the company's affairs. Although Wang Bing Xia was reluctant to be separated from Ling Tian now, she also understood that there were two other sisters on Little Immortal Island.
Wang Bing Xia also knew well that for Ling Tian to maintain peace in his harem, he had to be fair and attend to every woman. Therefore, it was Wang Bing Xia who proactively asked Ling Tian to return.
When Ling Tian's Haidongqing landed on Little Immortal Island, he found Aurora Kuiit, holding two short swords, sparring with Zhang Caifeng, who wielded a long sword, in an open space on the island.
The fighting styles of the two women were distinct. Both had learned martial arts independently, but Zhang Caifeng inherited the sword techniques of Longhu Mountain, while Aurora Kuiit studied Western combat techniques.
Aurora's attack style was swift and direct, sometimes even abandoning defense for a desperate fighting style, while Zhang Caifeng's long swordplay was graceful and full of beauty.
The two women fought for over 10 minutes and had each taken many hits. Fortunately, they used wooden weapons with a weight similar to real weapons and without sharp edges, which prevented them from suffering fatal injuries.
The two women retracted their moves, panting.
"Aurora, your progress is very rapid! If we were to fight for real, with your abilities combined with your powers, I truly wouldn't be your match!" Zhang Caifeng said with heartfelt admiration.
