Chapter 867: Exposing the Truth

Chen Yu said coldly, "Once the potential wears off, the bodies of those who have taken the drug will accelerate in aging and suffer multi-organ failure. An elder of mine took your drug and nearly lost his life; if I hadn't used a Miyuan Pill to forcibly reverse his vitality, he would likely be dead by now."

"Everyone, Yanhuang Company is merely trying to swindle money. Their drug will cost you your lives. Immortality is ultimately unrealistic; wake up," Chen Yu shouted in a deep voice.

Chen Yu's words caused some commotion at the scene, but these people pursuing immortality were still somewhat unwilling to believe him; after all, they had just undergone a storm of brainwashing, and furthermore, they were now seeing things with their own eyes.

That man surnamed Liu had truly and genuinely become younger. Someone raised a question: "Where is the proof? We want proof."

"This Mr. Liu, according to the spot I mentioned earlier, that is an acupoint. Right now, the medicinal power of these preparations has not yet been eliminated from your body. As long as you press that spot, you will know the effect immediately," Chen Yu said indifferently.

The fanaticism on the face of the man surnamed Liu gradually faded. He began to hesitate, and finally, gritting his teeth, he pressed down on that spot on himself as Chen Yu had instructed.

He pressed once, but there was no reaction. He gritted his teeth and applied force.

With a 'pfft' sound, that acupoint of his emitted a noise, and immediately after, he felt as if something had leaked out of his body.

His hair turned white at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the wrinkles on his face also increased. In this instant, he seemed to have aged another thirty years.

Everyone looked at the man surnamed Liu as if they had seen a ghost. They subconsciously took a step back, and the fanaticism from just a moment ago slowly receded.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" The man surnamed Liu felt that the way everyone was looking at him was not right, and he couldn't help but panic.

"Old Liu, you, you should go look in a mirror," someone who knew him reminded him in a low voice.

"What on earth happened to me? A mirror? Where is a mirror?" The man surnamed Liu began to panic.

Someone handed over a mirror. He took the mirror and looked at his own face. Upon this look, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He saw that his hair was gray and his face was full of wrinkles; he looked just like an old man of seventy or eighty.

Before taking the drug, although he looked old, he hadn't been like this. Moreover, he now felt his breathing was obstructed, and even the organs inside his body began to feel like they were failing.

"How could it be like this? Why is it like this? Give me an explanation, you give me an explanation!" The man surnamed Liu roared hysterically.

"Everyone has seen it. Yanhuang's No. 2 preparation—an elder of mine took it before, and it just so happens that this elder is a retired police officer."

Chen Yu said loudly, "After I saved him, he began to strictly investigate the problems with Yanhuang. Why was Yanhuang's press conference postponed? It was because the police destroyed one of their dens after another."

"This kind of stimulating the human body's potential to achieve the illusion of youth is a very dangerous thing, because once your body's potential is exhausted, it will accelerate your aging. Everyone just saw everything that happened; in this world, there is simply no such thing as immortality."

"Fraudulent company, we almost got swindled."

"I saw long ago that they had problems; they were just spouting nonsense."

"I even paid a deposit; give me my money back."

The crowd was furious. These people were all highly educated individuals, and they were all that small portion of people in the upper echelons of society, so they could not accept that they had been swindled and deceived. Feelings of anger spread among this group, and for a time, the entire venue was in chaos.

"Where is Li Yijia? Li Yijia is gone."

Someone shouted, and everyone was jolted awake. Only then did they discover that Li Yijia, who had been moving through the banquet like a socialite just a moment ago, had now disappeared.

"She is just a swindler. After her affairs were exposed, she ran away. I want to call the police."

"This gentleman, may I ask who you are?" Amidst the anger, someone finally remembered Chen Yu.

"Oh, let me introduce myself, my name is Chen Yu," Chen Yu smiled indifferently. "I am a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine. If you want to become younger and want to prolong your life, I do have a way, but immortality—I cannot do that."

"What way do you have?" someone asked.

"In ancient times, there were alchemists who could gather countless kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, go without sleep for dozens of days, extract their essence, and refine it with Alchemy Fire. This method is called the Extraction Technique."

Chen Yu walked forward, took out a Miyuan Pill, went to the side of the man who had taken the Yanhuang No. 2, and gave it to him to take.

"This method is called the Extraction Technique; it can preserve one's appearance, restore youth, and prolong life. Spirit pills refined by high-level alchemists can allow a person's lifespan to reach one hundred and fifty years or even longer."

"Instead of believing in those immature genetic technologies, why not learn more about the abilities of ancient alchemists? Huaxia's five thousand years of heritage—isn't it more convincing than the science they've developed for a few hundred years?"

As Chen Yu had the man take the pill, the condition of the man, whose organs had begun to fail and whose breathing had been obstructed, gradually began to improve.

His head of white hair also gradually turned back to its original gray, and the wrinkles on his face gradually decreased. After a few minutes, he was finally able to stand up.

"What did you give me to eat? I've turned back again?" The man surnamed Liu was both surprised and delighted.

"A Miyuan Pill, a medicine refined by the Extraction Technique," Chen Yu said indifferently. "I saved your life today; remember in the future, do not lightly believe in any arts of immortality."

"Thank you. Can this medicine make me look a bit younger?" Out of curiosity, the man surnamed Liu asked another question.

"Of course it can, but the first pill was to save your life. If you want a second one, you'll have to pay," Chen Yu laughed.

"You wouldn't be in cahoots with that woman, putting on a double act, would you? You intentionally exposed her and then sold your medicine?" Someone at the scene raised a question.

"Me putting on a double act with her? Do you know who I am?" Chen Yu sneered.

"I don't know, who are you?" someone asked defiantly.

"The Martial Alliance Leader," Chen Yu said indifferently. "If there is any problem with my medicine, you can come find me at any time. If you cannot reach the Martial Alliance, the He Group can be reached, right?"

"I have a partnership with the He Clan. What is your relationship with the He Clan?"

The people at the scene were indeed an elite gathering; as soon as Chen Yu's words were out, someone spoke up immediately.

"He Group President He Lingyun is my mother," Chen Yu smiled.

"You are President He's son. I remember now; you were lost among the common people since childhood and only recently reunited with President He," someone became excited.

"How much is your Miyuan Pill? I'll pay for it." The man surnamed Liu's expression tightened. He had heard of the Extraction Techniques of some extraordinary people, and what was placed before him now might be a stroke of fate; he had to seize the good opportunity.
