Chapter 43 -42: Luyi Star
The variety of fruits shouldn’t be too numerous, so only the juice was used from the lemon and lime.
At first glance, there appear to be only three types; this should not arouse suspicion for now.
Ice cubes and fruit were added to the glass jar, pressed down a few times with a wooden stick, and then the previously steeped green tea was poured in.
Considering that the gentleman might not be fond of sweet flavors, Qu Tong only added syrup to her own cup.
Then she divided the fruit tea from the large glass jar into separate cups and sealed them with lids.
Qu Tong was not so peculiar as to send a single lonely cup; she prepared a total of five cups, inserted the straw in the middle, and secured the lids.
With half a watermelon left, it was cut and placed on the bottom rack.
Ever since she saw this transparent food container last time, Qu Tong had stockpiled dozens of them.
With neatly arranged glass cups and fruit, it looked very appealing.
As usual, she wrote a note and placed it in the tray on top of the box.
This time, not knowing what to write, she randomly copied a line of…ugh, a love phrase, from the internet.
Later, Qu Tong released a new batch of medicinal concoctions, which also sold out in seconds, bringing in an easy 15 million Star Coins.
On Gong Yun’s end, Qu Tong provided the agreed 60 doses as promised.
Gong Yun, who was discussing important matters with the Emperor at the Imperial Palace, received three individually packaged light blue concoctions brought by his assistant.
These were in addition to the 60 vials, and Fu Jin had specifically asked about them, stating they were a token of gratitude for Gong Yun.
On one of the concoctions, there was an instruction label that was very concise and clear.
[Sleep-Aid Potion:
Relieves the throbbing pain and restlessness caused by post-Mental Outburst symptoms, aiding sleep.
A single dose lasts about ten days, effective regardless of constitution.]
The more Gong Yun read, the more excited he became.
His physical condition was no secret.
Despite his false reputation for having an SSS constitution, he had received a “critical condition notice” many years ago. Having retired from the battlefield, his Spirit Sea was shattered beyond repair, no longer able to harness spiritual power.
Along with this came more severe post-traumatic symptoms than most people, and even with specialized concoctions, he still had to constantly endure this pain.
Insomnia, vivid dreams, easy to wake, and sometimes unable to sleep all night—it had been like this for over a decade.
If it weren’t for a professional medical team helping him manage his health, he feared he would have collapsed by now.
He understood the difficulty of finding relief better than anyone, but the thought of Miss Jun’s master being able to create such an effective concoction kindled a small flame of hope in his heart.
Gong Yun had the robots take the concoction away for toxicity testing, and once again, the purity was 100%.
Gong Yun no longer hesitated and took it with confidence.
“Father-in-law…” The Emperor wanted to stop him but it was already too late.
“No harm done, this master’s talent in medicine creation is very high, each bottle’s purity is 100%. At worst, it will be ineffective, it won’t damage the body,” Gong Yun spoke highly of it.
“How does it feel?” The Emperor was concerned.
He was also very curious about the effect of this concoction.
Spirit Sea throbbing is a very common symptom, especially among retirees with high constitution levels, and it’s difficult to alleviate.
“It doesn’t seem to have a great effect, similar to the concoctions developed by the medical team.”
Gong Yun waited for a while before responding, his tone tinged with disappointment.
“Well, even the Alchemist Association can’t do anything about it,” said the Emperor, sounding like a sigh with a numb undertone.
Gong Yun still personally thanked Jun Li, and then continued discussing matters with the Emperor.
They had only been chatting for a short while when Gong Yun yawned and complained, “This body is really getting weaker; I’m out of energy so soon.”
The Emperor’s eyes flickered, “Is Father-in-law feeling tired?”
Gong Yun rubbed his temples, trying to stay alert.
Seeing this, a flicker of joy crossed the Emperor’s eyes, and he no longer cared about the pressing border defense matters.
“If Father-in-law is tired, you should go and rest. This matter isn’t urgent.”
“Alright.” Gong Yun didn’t dawdle and got up to return to the room he often stayed in within the Imperial Palace.
In the large study, only Si Chen was left to handle the government affairs.
However, every so often, Si Chen would check the time and ask the guard he had specially appointed to protect Gong Yun about his condition through his brain-computer interface.
This situation continued from morning until evening.
When the Empress returned from her engagements, she saw the Emperor distracted and asked curiously.
She saw the Emperor somewhat excitedly saying, “Father-in-law has slept from the morning until now, a full eight hours.”
“Really?” The Empress’s expression instantly lit up with delight.
“Yes, Father-in-law drank the potion that master sent, which is said to alleviate the sequelae of a mental outburst. Once Father-in-law wakes up, there might be quite a surprise.”
“Is it really that effective?”
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on novelbuddy.cσ๓.
“Yes, we’ll wait for Father-in-law to wake up and ask him.”
The two of them went to the garden outside Gong Yun’s room, brushing up on recent national events of interest while chatting leisurely.
It wasn’t until 8 o’clock in the evening that Gong Yun slowly awakened.
The Emperor and Empress were the first to hear the stir and knocked on the door immediately.
“Dad, how do you feel?” The Empress was the first to approach and inquire.
Gong Yun closed his eyes to sense the feeling for a while, then opened his eyes.
His eyes were bright, and his face was visibly joyful: “It’s true, it’s true! The Spirit Sea has really calmed down.”
Gong Yun had never slept so soundly; now he only felt refreshed and comfortably invigorated.
A true master indeed.
Compared to the Empress’s joy, the Emperor’s eyes were noticeably more fervent, something Gong Yun found hard to ignore.
Coughing twice with a fist to his lips, he steeled himself and said, “This is a gift from Miss Jun, and there are only three bottles in total, with one bottle lasting ten days. Later on, I’ll ask for you.”
The three bottles were just enough for a month’s supply, and he was not inclined to share even one, especially since he felt he would not be able to decipher its secrets, just like with the previous potions.
Seeing that Gong Yun had no intention of donating a bottle of the potion, the Emperor looked at his Empress, and with no alternative, compromised, “Then we’ll have to trouble Father-in-law. If such a potion can be supplied in large quantities, many retired veterans could have an added layer of safety.”
“That’s what I should do, but the specifics will depend on the master’s wishes.”
“Of course.”
The state of the Empire made the role of pharmacists crucial. Since the master chose to cooperate with the military, they naturally did not dare to coerce.
Otherwise, if the master became dissatisfied and joined the Alchemist Association to create a monopoly, it would be a loss beyond their gain.

On this day,
All residents within the signal range of Star 1757 received an official message on their brain-computers:
[Effective immediately, Star 1757 will be renamed Luyi Star. Luyi Star is to be developed into a private farm and will no longer be open to the public. The farm is hiring; interested parties can log on to “Remote Star Official Service Platform http://hna.shka.sjiksj/#hbh” to inquire and apply. Those approved to stay can continue residing on the planet and await further work arrangements. All others please evacuate within one month. The Planetary Shield will be activated after one month.]
She had one month left before she was to go to Capital Star for school, and now that she had the means, she wanted to manage things on the planet before leaving.
She planned to expand production and develop Luyi Star into her own agricultural world. Once the taxes were repaid, earning money while lying down would be just around the corner.
