Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate-Chapter 286 - 271: Elixir (Request for Subscription)
Zhang Long’s attack had incited Zhou Yunfei’s fury.
He believed that it was not solely about the Six Streets Party smuggling case or the assassination attempt on Xue Bogao, it was perhaps more about an effort to clip his wings.
Since the undercover incident at Wang Cheng, Zhou Yunfei had only a handful of trusted subordinates in Division Nine, and Zhang Long was the most conspicuous among them.
The Special Operations Section Three was the most powerful and heart-stopping weapon in Zhou Yunfei’s arsenal.
Those people, unaware of the Special Operations Section Three director’s identity, directly targeted Zhang Long, who was responsible for investigating the Six Streets Party’s smuggling case, attempting to eliminate this capable general under Zhou Yunfei.
If Zhang Long died, even if Zhou Yunfei wanted to continue investigating Xue Bogao’s death or delve deeper into the smuggling case, he would be powerless.
Thus, Zhou Yunfei, both shocked and angry, personally took all his key staff to the scene.
However, despite mobilizing a large force and cordoning off the scene for investigation, they unearthed nothing substantial.
The sniper had fired from nine kilometers away, using a 7SS-grade+ kinetic sniper rifle to hit the bulletproof armored vehicle that Zhang Long was riding in.
It is worth mentioning that this armored vehicle was traveling at a speed of 2000 kilometers per hour on a freeway, surrounded by heavy traffic.
The sniper not only precisely hit the armored vehicle but also pierced its armor in an instant, hitting Zhang Long in the center of the brow.
If it were not for the specially reinforced defensive capabilities of this modified armored vehicle and the "Divine Gold Skull" implant Zhang Long had, he would have been killed instantly by the shot.
It was evident that the sniper indeed possessed top-tier long-range sniping skills.
The security bureau located the sniper’s shooting position but could not find any clues.
The sniper rifle used was apparently brand-new, as its ballistics had no existing records in the security bureau. Moreover, the surrounding holographic surveillance systems had been hacked, leading to an hour’s loss of video content.
Following this incident, Zhou Yunfei once again exercised his supreme authority to temporarily transfer two 6A-level action teams from Divisions Two and Three to reinforce the Special Operations Section Three.
Zhou Yunfei also established a secret tactical squad led by Xue Lingxue, classified as 5S-level, to covertly protect Lin Rui’s safety.
This overstaffed 20-person tactical squad not only had all members at 5S combat level, with some reaching 5SS, but also possessed two Jielong-7 types and four Jielong-6 type combat robots.
The assassination attempt on Zhang Long served as an alarm for Zhou Yunfei, prompting him to further prioritize Lin Rui’s safety.
Upon learning of this internal transfer order, Zhang Long couldn’t help but mockingly comment in the work group chat.
Today it was he, Zhang Long, who faced the assassination, yet it was Lin Rui’s protection level that was being enhanced.
Zhou Yunfei, thick-skinned as a city wall, ignored Zhang Long’s remarks.
He knew that as long as Lin Rui was safe, his position within the security bureau would be as solid as Mount Tai, and sooner or later, he would turn around the situation in Division Nine.
But if something happened to Lin Rui, his situation would definitely worsen.
Moreover, he had also assigned two 6A action teams to Zhang Long; they were essentially still under Zhang Long’s command and deployment.
Lin Rui was also very concerned about this matter, but having learned that the information from the scene investigation was extremely limited, he knew they couldn’t catch the assassin who targeted Zhang Long anytime soon.
Rather than wasting energy on this aspect, he preferred to continue working hard on the Xue Bogao case and the smuggling case, since he had struck where the enemy hurt, he would continue to strike.
Furthermore, he had other plans to keep certain people busy.
Two hours after Zhang Long’s assassination, Xue Lingxue arranged for Gong Hengdao to complete a physical examination.
After reviewing Gong Hengdao’s medical report, under the guise of being a student of Professor Sima, Lin Rui borrowed a high-level "Electromagnetic Medicinal Oven" from the College of Biology at Mingde University, used his purchased various medicinal ingredients, and started making medicine pills for Gong Hengdao.
The influence of Tianji Star was profound in the Earth Federation’s medical community, and this advanced "Electromagnetic Medicinal Oven" could simulate all the functions of an Alchemy Furnace.
Any high-level alchemy technique from Tianji Star could be completed using this "Electromagnetic Medicinal Oven."
If there was a special requirement, one could even order a customized medicinal oven.
Lin Rui was initially a bit unaccustomed as his alchemy skills were based on the traditional Alchemy Furnace, and he was not very familiar with the Electromagnetic Medicinal Oven.

After failing twice, he finally succeeded in making the medicinal pills; a total of 120 pills, enough for Gong Hengdao for three months.
This was the first treatment course, and the subsequent one would depend on Gong Hengdao’s physical condition.
At that moment, an automatic acupuncture machine also arrived, Lin Rui had Xue Lingxue deliver it to Gong Hengdao with him. "I’ve sent my medical orders to you through a private chat; let him stay in the automatic acupuncture machine whenever he’s free over the next two months. If he feels bored, he can listen to music or watch TV, but be careful not to watch anything with too intense emotional conflicts."
"I estimate it will start showing results in 2-3 days, and within about 50 days, both he and his war dragon’s condition should improve. As long as the medication is maintained, he can lead a normal life. There’s a great hope for future recovery. Oh, and if he ever wants an implant in the future, he must come to me for adjustments."
Xue Lingxue’s spirits lifted, "Uncle Gong’s condition can still improve?"
"In the future." Lin Rui pointed to his head, "I’m still studying biology and medical techniques, and I’ll eventually find a way to cure him."
At that moment, an unexpected visitor arrived. Fang Ranran was knocking on the observation window in the lab’s observation room. She pressed her little head against the glass, peering inside with curiosity.
Upon receiving a look from Lin Rui, Xue Lingxue went over to open the door for her.
"Lin Rui, you know how to refine medicine and alchemy?" Fang Ranran stepped in, surprised as she looked at Lin Rui and the nearby "Electromagnetic Medicinal Oven."
She had heard from Wang Cheng, the captain of the 5A tactical squad assigned to guard Lin Rui by their Tianlan Corporation, that Lin Rui had borrowed this high-level drug laboratory and that a dangerous situation might arise, so out of curiosity, she came to see what was happening.
"I know a bit of the Alchemy from Tianji Star." Lin Rui said while pouring another part of the custom medicinal herbs into the furnace.
The second furnace of medicinal pills he was preparing wasn’t for Gong Hengdao but for himself.
Three days ago, Lin Rui had nearly died at the hands of Qi Yan of the Xuanhuo Saber, which had greatly pressured him.
Lin Rui wanted to accumulate enough Yuan Qi before entering the capital to complete the "Dragon Shedding."
As everyone knows, the first step of Dragon Shedding is very important; the more Yuan Qi accumulated during the process, the larger the dragon scales shed, making the later condensation of dragon scales smoother.
Lin Rui had already spent 800 million Federation dollars through Tianlan Group’s connections to order two injections for himself, one being "High-Purity Dragon Shedding Source Liquid" and the other "Dragon Scale Strengthening Source Agent," one significantly increasing the area of dragon scales, and the other enhancing the quality of the dragon scales.
These were highly expensive laboratory products, which had to be personally formulated by an academy-level pharmacist and were absolutely unavailable on the market.
Previously, he couldn’t afford it for use on Blood Blade Ji, but now he could use it for himself.
In addition, after advancing to a higher level of alchemy, Lin Rui suddenly got an inspiration to create a new type of medicinal pill based on the Tianji Star’s "Dragon Shedding Pill," combined with modern medicinal improvements.
This would not only help him accumulate Yuan Qi in the Golden Core, but after shedding the dragon, it would also help him speed up the condensation process of dragon scales.
Fang Ranran was halfway between belief and doubt, "Really?"
Just then, Xue Lingxue had just packed Gong Hengdao’s medicine and was about to leave.
Hearing this, she glanced at Fang Ranran and said, "Lin Rui’s father is not only Professor Huangfu’s most proud disciple but also once the most outstanding biological scientist of the entire Earth Federation; his mother also holds double PhDs in biological informatics and medical physics. Their family has deep academic roots, being students of Professor Sima, skilled in both medical science and pharmacy."
Upon hearing this, Lin Rui’s expression nearly collapsed.
He could fool Xue Lingxue with his third-generation Chinese medicine doctor’s façade, but this was inappropriate for fooling Fang Ranran.
Simply because Fang Ranran had seen what he used to be like, back when he knew nothing about medical and biological sciences.
However, this turned out to be an opportunity, as Lin Rui had some projects in mind and wanted to find a chance to collaborate with Fang Ranran.
Fang Ranran’s eyes grew even more suspicious as she scrutinized Lin Rui.
This was the first time she had heard that this fellow had such a background.
Fang Ranran was thinking about sending a message to Professor Sima to confirm when Lin Rui smiled at her, "I am currently refining the ’Dragon Shedding Pill,’ which is a pill recipe I improved based on Professor Huangfu’s manuscript. It’s super effective at the Golden Core stage and can be used on both humans and mutated beings, Ranran, do you want to try? I’m currently missing a few key ingredients, they are very expensive, and I’m reluctant to buy them."
Lin Rui was currently working on just the auxiliary medicines, planning to bring them to Tianji Star to continue refining after buying the main ingredients from the recipe.
It couldn’t be helped, as buying Tianji Star medicinal ingredients in the Ninth Base City cost several times more.
"Professor Huangfu’s recipe?" Fang Ranran’s expression became pensive, "Send me the list of those medicines you’re missing."
She was still somewhat skeptical, but after checking the list of medicinal ingredients and their amounts privately sent by Lin Rui, estimating the cost to be about 50 million, she boldly placed the order.
Since it involved Professor Huangfu, whether true or not, Fang Ranran was willing to spend the money to verify.
Moreover, Lin Rui had given her an impression of being sincere and trustworthy, a man of his word, so he likely wouldn’t make empty promises.
Fang Ranran used the accounts of several medical research funds, not using her own money, so she was very generous.
Having recently become a school director at Mingde University, Fang Ranran now also held high positions in over a dozen medical and biological foundations.
Other wealthy heirs threw their money around, and while she didn’t squander money, she could afford to be extravagant as well.
Not long after, a drone delivered the required medicinal ingredients to them.
Lin Rui then became silent and focused solely on refining the medicinal pills.
Unfortunately, both the first and the second furnaces failed, but he had anticipated this and had not put too many ingredients in the first two furnaces. Only on the third furnace, confident enough, did he bet all the remaining materials, continuing the alchemy under Fang Ranran’s skeptical gaze.
Had it been anyone else, suffering two consecutive failures might have left them feeling awkward and deflated, but Lin Rui continued as if nothing happened,
This time, he was more fortunate. Half an hour later, when Lin Rui opened the alchemy furnace, the room was instantly filled with fragrance. Enjoy exclusive adventures from novelbuddy
"What is this?"
Fang Ranran looked at the golden pills inside the furnace, convinced that Lin Rui was definitely fooling her.
She had used Dragon Shedding Pills before, which were almost all white or green; how could they possibly be this gilded color?
However, the appearance of these pills was indeed very appealing, clearly showing a large amount of condensed pure ether.
Fang Ranran immediately took one and started chewing it.
Seeing this, Lin Rui was astonished; the pills had yet to be verified for success, potential toxicity, or medicinal properties.
Fang Ranran was confident, equipped with special bio-gear; her metabolism was exceptionally strong, and her exoskeletal armor was of the highest 6SSS+ grade, both in terms of life-sustaining and poison-resisting capabilities.
Let alone a defective pill, even if it were genuinely toxic, it wouldn’t affect her at all.
Right after Fang Ranran chewed and swallowed the pill, her eyes began to brighten.
Wow~ this pill really works!
