Chapter 708: Third Transition Life-Extending Pill
One could see two illusory strands of cloud on the surface of the pill, seeming as if they were flowing in a mist.
These illusory clouds are the Dan Patterns!
A single Dan Pattern represents a Low Grade Spirit Pill.
Two Dan Patterns signify a Mid Grade Spirit Pill.
Three Dan Patterns naturally denote a High Grade Spirit Pill.
If there are more than three, then it is a Top Grade Spirit Pill!
The current Lifespan Extension Pill has two Dan Patterns on its surface, indicating that it is a Mid Grade Spirit Pill.
However, what shocked Ye Qingmei was not this, but the three whirlpools among the clouds.
These three whirlpools evenly covered the entire pill, emitting a profound aura that made Ye Qingmei unable to take her eyes off it!
"This is no ordinary Lifespan Extension Pill, but a Third Transition Lifespan Extension Pill!"
Ye Qingmei exclaimed in surprise, casting a disbelieving look at Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan nodded with a smile: "Indeed, it is a Third Transition Lifespan Extension Pill. I was feeling quite lucky today, so I decided to challenge the limits, and unexpectedly, I succeeded."
Zhou Jianhua, listening in confusion, asked, "Mr. Li, Doctor Ye, what does a Third Transition Lifespan Extension Pill mean?"
Ye Qingmei then explained, "Pills are categorized into four grades: Low, Mid, High, and Top. Each type of pill has a fixed grade. For instance, the most common Low Grade Spirit Pill — the Qi Nourishing Pill. Even if someone with a higher realm and stronger power were to refine it, the Qi Nourishing Pill would still only be a Low Grade Spirit Pill; it cannot exceed that limit and reach Mid Grade."
"However, a highly skilled cultivator can undergo transformations such as the First, Second, and Third Transition... up to the Ninth Transition, thereby continuously enhancing the effects of the Spirit Pills!"
"A regular Lifespan Extension Pill is a Mid Grade without any transitions, with a lifespan extension effect of about six years."
"But a First Transition Lifespan Extension Pill will add three years to those six years, Second Transition adds another three years, and Third Transition does the same."
"Therefore, the Third Transition Lifespan Extension Pill refined by Li Qianfan can extend your mother's life by six plus three plus three plus three—altogether fifteen years!"
Hearing Ye Qingmei's words, Zhou Jianhua was both shocked and delighted, his hands trembling with excitement.
"Then… what are we waiting for? Let's have my mother take it quickly." Zhou Jianhua urgently urged.
Li Qianfan packed up the White Flaw Furnace, stood up holding the pill, approached the bed, and opened the mouth of Zhou Jianhua's mother to insert the Third Transition Lifespan Extension Pill.
The pill dissolved upon entering the mouth, transforming into a surge of medicinal power that flowed into Old Lady Zhou's internal organs and spread throughout her body.
During this process, Li Qianfan also used True Qi to scan, closely monitoring all changes within Old Lady Zhou's body.
At this moment, under the influence of the Lifespan Extension Pill, Old Lady Zhou's withered and depleted body regained vitality, radiating robust energy.
Her organs one by one returned to normal function, her metabolism began to speed up, and her breathing became long and steady.
These effects directly manifested on her outward appearance!
One could see Old Lady Zhou's white hair turning black, and the age spots on her face and hands gradually faded.
After a few minutes, the changes in Old Lady Zhou's body finally ceased, and the power of the Lifespan Extension Pill inside her was completely exhausted.
"It's... it's so miraculous!"
Zhou Jianhua witnessed all this, ecstatic to the point of madness!
Just now, Zhou Jianhua had been somewhat worried, as what Ye Qingmei said was really too mystical, and Li Qianfan was also too young, dressed so ordinarily, and seemed unreliable.
Therefore, he was afraid that Ye Qingmei and Li Qianfan would collude to deceive him.
But now, the various manifestations on his mother's body can only be termed as miraculous, even violating the laws of nature—this is the best and most compelling evidence!
Therefore, now Zhou Jianhua has no doubts in his heart anymore!
"Old Lady Zhou, it's time to get up."
Li Qianfan gently pushed Old Lady Zhou's shoulder and shook her a few times, and then Old Lady Zhou slowly opened her eyes and asked, "What... what happened to me..."
"Mom, you fainted again today, but you don't have to worry now, Mr. Li Qianfan has cured your illness! See for yourself!"
Zhou Jianhua took out his mobile phone, opened the selfie mode, and passed the phone to Old Lady Zhou.
Old Lady Zhou, looking at herself in the phone, wore an incredulous expression on her face.
"Is… is this me? How have I become so much younger? It can't be that I'm dreaming, right?" Old Lady Zhou said, both shocked and delighted as she touched her cheeks.
"Mom, you're not dreaming, this is all real!"
Zhou Jianhua said, and then he embraced his mother and wept bitterly.
Watching the tearfully joyful Zhou Jianhua and Old Lady Zhou, Li Qianfan couldn't help but feel envious.
After all, his parents had been missing for a long time.
At the same time, Ye Qingmei's face also revealed a touched expression.
After a while, Zhou Jianhua realized that Li Qianfan and Ye Qingmei were still there, so he let go of his mother, stood up, and wiped the tears from his face.
"I'm really sorry, I lost my composure," Zhou Jianhua said.
"It's okay, it's okay, I can understand your emotions right now," Li Qianfan said with a smile.
Ye Qingmei also spoke comforting words, and Zhou Jianhua took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.
Then Zhou Jianhua turned to Li Qianfan, and asked respectfully, "Mr. Li, I wonder how much compensation you want? Just name it, I will not disappoint you!"
"I'm not interested in money, Mayor Zhou. If you want to thank me, just do me a favor. Rest assured, the task I ask of you is very simple, you can easily manage it," Li Qianfan said.
"May I know what the favor is?" Zhou Jianhua asked.
Li Qianfan said, "I am now the general manager of Galaxy Pharmaceutical Company in Da'an City and own fifty-five percent of the company shares. However, Galaxy Pharmaceutical Company has recently been in a difficult situation and is tight on funds, and the major banks in Da'an City are unwilling to lend to our company."
"So I hope, Mayor Zhou, that you can give a word for me to solve our company's financial problems. Rest assured, our company will definitely repay the bank loan, both the principal and interest won't be a penny short."
Zhou Jianhua thought for a moment and then nodded, "Okay, I'll help with this favor. I'll give a call to the president of Tianfeng Bank in Da'an City right away."
"Thank you very much," Li Qianfan said.
After leaving Zhou Jianhua's home, Li Qianfan and Ye Qingmei left together in the car.
While driving, Ye Qingmei asked, "You've actually become the boss of Galaxy Pharmaceutical Company, I can hardly believe it."
"Hehe, just luck," Li Qianfan said.
Ye Qingmei continued, "But I'm curious, you seem like someone who dislikes being restrained, so why would you want to run a company and create work for yourself?"
"Just consider it me trying to experience the joys of doing business," Li Qianfan offhandedly said.
