Ye Tian pondered for a moment and murmured, "If I replace these hard-to-find medicinal herbs with ones from my own medicinal fields, the effect should be even better."
No sooner said than done, he spent the entire night refining the formula, incorporating some of his own mutated medicinal herbs and removing those precious and rare ones that were difficult to find.
By dawn, he looked at the new formula and said to himself, "The medicinal efficacy is at least three times stronger than the original prescription, and the cost is greatly reduced, allowing for mass production."
With this thought, he hurried to see Lin Ziyi. At that moment, Lin Ziyi was preparing breakfast, and Yan'er was running around helping.
"Ziyi, we can add a new drug to our lineup."
Lin Ziyi quickly asked, "Is it the formula Liu Jiansen gave you?"
Ye Tian chuckled, "Researching this formula is indeed extremely difficult, but he probably didn't expect us to be able to replace the ingredients with our own cultivated herbs."
Lin Ziyi's eyes lit up, "Can this drug truly cure cancer patients?"
Ye Tian nodded, "I recall that current targeted cancer drugs can often only treat specific cancers and merely prolong the patient's life, not cure it. However, this drug can cure over eighty percent of cancers, and its treatment cost is lower than targeted drugs."
Lin Ziyi beamed, "That's wonderful! If we can produce this drug, Baozhi Company will surely become the most remarkable pharmaceutical company in the world!"
Ye Tian said, "I've only had a preliminary concept. To research it, I need to return to the laboratory."
Lin Ziyi replied, "Yes. Let's develop it as soon as possible."
Ye Tian continued, "The spiritual energy from Jiuhua Mountain Villa has been constantly dissipating. It would be a waste not to utilize it. I'm thinking of planting medicinal herbs on these nine mountains."
Lin Ziyi asked, "But the mountains are all stone, how can we plant anything?"
Ye Tian smiled, "We can use container gardening techniques. This task requires a professional agricultural company."
Lin Ziyi immediately said, "Leave this to me."
After breakfast, Ye Shaodong and Feng Xiuxiu arrived. Both missed Yan'er, and since they weren't busy, they came to the capital.
Seeing his elder brother, Ye Tian suddenly said, "Brother, have you finished your current work?"
Ye Shaodong replied, "It's almost done. However, I don't manage it much anymore; I've handed it over to my subordinates. I occasionally go for a stroll."
Ye Tian said, "Brother, from now on, you and Xiuxiu can help me manage Jiuhua Mountain Villa."
Ye Shaodong chuckled, "Jiuhua Mountain Villa is so vast, can I manage it alone?"
Ye Tian explained, "We can hire people. In the future, I want to plant medicinal herbs on all the mountains. Watering, fertilizing, and changing the soil all require people."
Ye Shaodong surveyed the mountain peaks and remarked, "Each mountain would need at least twenty people to look after it, so nine mountains would require over a hundred people."
Ye Tian asked, "Brother, you used to love growing flowers and plants the most. How about it, are you interested in helping me?"
Ye Shaodong replied, "I can help you. But then, wouldn't Xiuxiu and I be living apart?"
Ye Tian smiled, "How could that be? Baozhi Company has many vacant positions now. Let Ziyi arrange one for her."
Ye Shaodong looked at Feng Xiuxiu, "Xiuxiu, what do you think?"
Feng Xiuxiu smiled, "Working in a different place isn't bad. Once we're settled, we can also invite Mom and Dad to live with us."
Ye Shaodong nodded, "That's true."
He then said to Ye Tian, "Xiao Tian, I'll take charge of these mountain slopes."
Ye Tian replied, "Okay, Brother, please contact professional institutions as soon as possible to start planting the medicinal herbs."
"Don't worry," Ye Shaodong assured him.
Lin Ziyi added, "We can establish a new company, affiliated with Baozhi Company. Brother, you can be the boss of the new company."
Ye Shaodong chuckled, "It's just planting some things, not worth setting up a company for."
Ye Tian emphasized, "Although the company might not be large, it is very important. Brother, if you need money, you can directly draw funds from Baozhi Company's accounts, with no upper limit. As long as you grow the herbs well for me, any amount spent is justified."
Ye Shaodong then realized the importance Ye Tian placed on this matter. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Tian, I'll manage it perfectly for you."
The group toured Jiuhua Mountain Villa and also discussed how to plant on the nine mountains. For the mountain peaks with the most abundant spiritual energy, they would plant herbs like ginseng and reishi mushrooms. For those with weaker spiritual energy, they would plant herbs like Polygonum multiflorum, goji berries, and licorice.
That same day, Ye Shaodong contacted a seedling company and enlisted professional agricultural cultivation agencies to begin assessing the nine mountain peaks.
