C19 The Stars Surrounded the Moon
Shortly after the portly middle-aged man departed, Old Master Su turned his attention to Faang Yu and inquired, "Faang Yu, about that medicine pill of yours..."
With a slight tilt of his chin and brimming with confidence, Faang Yu assured him, "Rest easy, Old Master Su. If I've made the claim, you can bet there's substance to it. True, the Marrow Cleansing Pill might not fully cure someone with advanced lung cancer, but as I've mentioned, reducing the cancer cells by 30% is well within its capabilities. For a complete recovery, though, one would need four Marrow Cleansing Pills and a Rejuvenation Pill."
The Marrow Cleansing Pill was designed to purge impurities and toxins, while the Rejuvenation Pill aimed to rejuvenate bodily functions.
The crowd was visibly impressed.
Whether the Marrow Cleansing Pill could truly eliminate toxins remained to be seen, but Faang Yu's confident demeanor was unmistakable. This wasn't mere posturing; these were seasoned business veterans, with decades of experience, who could spot genuine confidence a mile away.
While they couldn't definitively confirm the pill's efficacy just yet, Faang Yu's belief in it suggested it was likely the real deal.
Numerous business tycoons were eagerly anticipating the outcome, ready to approach Faang Yu for his Marrow Cleansing Pill as soon as its effectiveness was verified.
They might be in good health now, but the future was uncertain. With wealth at their disposal, securing a couple of these pills as a precaution seemed wise. Should they ever face an otherwise untreatable illness, the Marrow Cleansing Pill could very well be their saving grace.
The banquet proceeded seamlessly, and Faang Yu, once unremarkable, now caught the eye of the industry's elite. A master of conversation, his humility and courtesy shone through, devoid of any overbearing pride yet still radiating the enthusiasm of youth. He quickly became a favorite among the moguls.
As the pleasant evening unfolded, time flew by.
Before they knew it, three hours had slipped away, and the banquet was drawing to a close.
Just then, the stout middle-aged man made a belated entrance, hurrying in. He hadn't spoken a word yet, but his elated expression suggested that Faang Yu's Marrow Cleansing Pill had indeed taken effect.
"Mr. Faang!" The portly middle-aged man approached Faang Yu and gave a deep bow.
"What's this all about, Mr. Zhou?" Faang Yu quickly steadied his arms.
With a joyful expression, Zhou Penghao explained, "The Marrow Cleansing Pill you provided worked wonders. Just as you described, after my father took it, it purged a great deal of impurities from his body. We took him for a checkup two hours ago, and the results were astonishing—the cancer cells in his body had decreased by about 30%. It's been hailed as a miracle. Mr. Faang, from this day forward, you are the esteemed benefactor of the Zhou family!"
He made to bow again in gratitude, but Faang Yu was quick to intervene, modestly dismissing the need for such formalities. "I'm glad the pill was effective. This was simply a transaction, Mr. Zhou. No thanks are necessary."
Zhou Penghao's respect for Faang Yu grew; he admired Faang Yu's straightforwardness and was already considering forging a closer relationship with him. "Regarding the payment for the Marrow Cleansing Pill, I've transferred it to your bank account an hour ago. You should receive a notification shortly..."
Faang Yu nodded in acknowledgment. "I appreciate that, Mr. Zhou."
"No, the thanks are all mine. Mr. Faang, I..." Zhou Penghao hesitated, as if unsure how to continue.
"There's no need to hold back, Mr. Zhou. Just speak your mind!" Faang Yu encouraged with a smile.
"Mr. Faang..."
"Please, call me Faang Yu," he interjected with a chuckle.
"Alright, Faang Yu," Zhou Penghao conceded, sensing the opportunity to bridge the gap between them—a prospect he warmly welcomed. "I was wondering if you have any more Marrow Cleansing Pills available? I'm interested in purchasing a few more, and I'm open to discussing the price."
At one million yuan each, the Marrow Cleansing Pill was no trivial expense for the average person.
But for successful individuals like them, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
Moreover, considering the price of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, one million per pill is quite a bargain.
Many wealthy individuals, when faced with illness, particularly terminal diseases, go to great lengths to extend their lives.
In such situations, the cost is irrelevant. Whether it's ten million or even a hundred million, if it can save their lives, the price is trivial.
The Marrow Cleansing Pill that Faang Yu just sold for one million doesn't set a precedent for future pricing.
Zhou Penghao, with decades of business experience, certainly understands that Faang Yu's sale was merely a market teaser.
Did you notice the other business tycoons, his peers, eyeing the opportunity like ravenous wolves?
Faang Yu, perceptive of Zhou's curiosity, chose not to call him out. Instead, he reassured him, "I do have Marrow Cleansing Pills, but I'm currently out of stock. The price remains one million each. Mr. Zhou, if you're interested, you can purchase them directly from my store when they're available."
While speaking, Faang Yu presented his business card, which he had prepared in advance, to Zhou Penghao.
Zhou eagerly accepted the card, his cheeks bunching up into a smile reminiscent of the Maitreya Buddha.
At that moment, every business mogul privy to their exchange couldn't resist showing Faang Yu their favor. With such a compelling demonstration before them, their skepticism vanished. They might not need the Marrow Cleansing Pill now, but what about the future? Or for their aging relatives?
Money is valuable, but it pales in comparison to the preciousness of life, which cannot be taken with us in death.
Besides, they hadn't forgotten Faang Yu's earlier claim: aside from mythical elixirs, his shop offered an extensive array of products.
All the business magnates present shared one thing in common: they were aging. Even the youngest among them was well into his forties, no longer able to match the vitality of younger men. In certain respects, they found themselves lacking, which was particularly embarrassing given the high demands of the women in their lives.
Some medications, though capable of restoring a man's vitality, came with overwhelming side effects.
They were curious to find out if Faang Yu had any exceptional remedies that could rejuvenate their vigor without the adverse reactions.
Naturally, with so many onlookers, they were too shy to voice their inquiries. But now, armed with Faang Yu's business card, they saw a wealth of opportunities ahead.
In that instant, Faang Yu was the center of attention, outshining even Old Master Su. The younger crowd was utterly bewildered, and among them, several cast envious glances, their eyes betraying their intense jealousy.
