Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation-Chapter 46 Evergreen Liquid
During the three-day Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Jiang Ning took the time to visit the Qiao State Medicinal Herb Wholesale Market.
The "Soul Suppressing Fragrance" had not yet arrived.
Jiang Ning was somewhat disappointed, without the assistance of the Soul Suppressing Fragrance, his Divine Sense could only rely on the "Golden Mysterious Separation God Technique" to grow stronger bit by bit.
For the time being, it could only be used as a means of detection and to cast a simple spell - the "Shocking God Stab".
As for applications like Divine Sense shock or Divine Sense control over objects, he was still unable to achieve them.
Common sense dictated that Divine Sense and spiritual power cultivation would progress side by side. As one advanced in realm, the Divine Sense would also elevate, with spiritual power cultivation corresponding to Divine Sense cultivation.
With the assistance of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, the Divine Sense could surpass spiritual power cultivation and unlock its mighty potential early. This would bring numerous benefits, whether in combat against enemies, in alchemy, artifact refining, or refining talismans.
Even without the Soul Suppressing Fragrance, Jiang Ning's trip was not in vain as he purchased some other medicinal herbs.
Jiang Ning planned to use these medicinal herbs to concoct a type of Spiritual Liquid for regrowing hair.
He wanted to achieve a simple process where one application of the Spiritual Liquid would painlessly stimulate hair growth.
Although hair transplant surgeries already existed, the procedure was quite troublesome. The surgery involved transplanting hair follicles from other parts of the body to the bald area to encourage hair growth.
One had to visit a hospital for treatment, receive anesthesia before the surgery, and deal with densely packed little wounds on the scalp afterward, which were painful. And as the wounds healed and scabbed, they became extremely itchy, making it hard to resist scratching.
Post-surgery, one's head would be wrapped in bandages and require frequent dressing changes, a series of intricate and bothersome aftercare.
Every surgery was torturous.
But Jiang Ning's Spiritual Liquid was as simple to apply as conditioner – a foolproof operation that children and adults alike could use to easily regrow hair.
The Spiritual Liquid was not difficult to concoct. Jiang Ning's Cultivation World also had its share of people with hair loss.
For example, some Body Refining Practitioners often ended up with shiny bald heads due to their robust physiques and vigorous vitality, which left many long troubled by this issue.
After all, cultivators cared about their appearance and not everyone wanted to rely solely on their cultivation for sustenance. Many cultivators preferred to have a handsome and dashing appearance to attract the protection of high-realm female cultivators.
There once was a Qi Cultivation Stage male hermit blessed with immense fortune, who was extremely handsome as if he were a celestial being cast down from heaven. Because of his looks, he caught the eye of a Nascent Soul Realm elderly female ancestor, who bestowed upon him numerous miraculous pills and elixirs.
That Qi Cultivation Stage male cultivator skyrocketed to the Golden Core Realm, provoking the envy of countless hermit cultivators.
Moreover, given the choice between two male cultivators of equal realm, it's likely that a female cultivator would not choose a bald one if seeking Dual Cultivation Couples.
A shrewd cultivator seized the opportunity and, after much contemplation, concocted a hair regrowth Spiritual Liquid, earning a vast amount of Spirit Stones. This resource even allowed them the fortune to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, becoming a delightful tale in the Cultivation World.
Once the hair regrowth Spiritual Liquid spread throughout the Cultivation World, its recipe was quickly decrypted and it became a common commodity.
Jiang Ning found the recipe in the Luoyun Sect's treasure vault and casually noted it down.
This Spiritual Liquid was called "Evergreen Liquid".
Of the seven herbs required, Jiang Ning found six. Among them, two were relatively common – dried ginger for conditioning the hair follicles and He Shou Wu for growing black hair.
The final ingredient was an auxiliary herb that the Qiao State herb merchants claimed they had never heard of.
Jiang Ning let the matter rest for the time-being and concocted the Liquid with just the six herbs.
The missing auxiliary herb was meant to enhance and maintain the longevity of the effect. If the quality of the auxiliary herb was good, it could ensure that after regrowth, the hair would never fall out again.
Without the auxiliary herb, the concocted "Evergreen Liquid" could guarantee no hair loss for six months after regrowth.
Considering the quality of herbs in the Real World, Jiang Ning felt that it could probably last for two to three months.
This was sufficient, as long as users of "Evergreen Liquid" applied it diligently. Then, the rate at which they lost hair would never catch up with the rate of hair growth, ensuring they would never go bald.
This would also greatly increase the sustainable sales of the Spiritual Liquid and ensure a continuous stream of profits.
Besides, this short-term hair growth Spiritual Liquid wouldn't appear too miraculous or perfect and would be less likely to cause a stir in the medical community.
It's truly a win-win situation.
Jiang Ning started to concoct the 'Evergreen Liquid.' The process was fairly simple: a blast of Spiritual Fire boiled the water, turning it into water infused with Spiritual Power.
The herbs were then extracted using the Spiritual Fire and added to the boiling Spiritual Energy Water in sequence, left to ferment and await a certain transformation. It was much simpler than Alchemy.
This was normal; Alchemy had a very high barrier to entry, and ordinary people couldn't become Alchemists. Otherwise, that cultivator wouldn't have racked his brains researching hair growth Spiritual Liquid for the sake of Spirit Stones. If he were an Alchemist, he wouldn't be worrying about Spirit Stones.
It's also because Alchemists who are more proficient in pharmacology aren't worried about Spirit Stones and don't bother with such things, so the hair growth Spiritual Liquid was concocted by an obscure small cultivator.
The floating Spiritual Liquid gradually turned green, emitting a faint pungent scent.
"Done."
Jiang Ning motioned with his finger, extinguishing the Spiritual Fire. He then spread out the fist-sized Spiritual Liquid into a sheet and let it cool in the air.
Once the pungent odor stopped emanating, with another gesture, the green Spiritual Liquid turned into flowing water and poured into three pristine jade bottles.
Jiang Ning pinched a jade bottle and mumbled to himself,
"The cost of the herbs for three bottles of 'Evergreen Liquid' totals fifteen yuan. What would be a good price to sell them for?"
After a brief consideration, Jiang Ning decided to target the mid-to-high-end market first, settling on a fair price—two thousand yuan per bottle.
Two thousand yuan to restore your black hair and rejuvenate your youth.
Although the effect would only last two to three months, compared to those luxury cosmetics and beauty products, Jiang Ning felt he was relatively conscientious.
You see, many women's small lipstick costs several hundred yuan.
A bottle of skincare lotion often runs over a thousand, and the pricier ones can even exceed ten thousand yuan, with mediocre effects, yet countless women still buy them.
Jiang Ning's 'Evergreen Liquid' had a real, tangible effect, truly served health needs, and was brewed with Spiritual Power, completely side-effect-free.
"There should be people willing to buy it, right?"
Jiang Ning wasn't entirely sure.
Since the potency was so strong that it could restore a thick head of black hair to a bald head, 'Evergreen Liquid' was more suitable for men because biologically, men were more prone to baldness.
Most bald people he encountered in his daily life were men, like his English teacher, Chen Haiyang, who was not just bald but also shiny.
In recent years, the capital market has sarcastically ranked purchasing power as: Women > Children > Elderly > Pets > Men.
This wasn't entirely true; when it comes to their hair, men would definitely not skimp on investing in themselves.
Hair is even more important than height; only those who have truly experienced the pain can understand its importance.
Just in the domestic market, the number of people with hair loss reached several hundred million. If he could capture a portion of that user base, Jiang Ning would no longer have to worry about resources for his cultivation.
Of course, 'Evergreen Liquid' could also be targeted toward women. It's rare for women to go completely bald, but their hair can become sparse, especially after childbirth, when hair loss worsens.
In such cases, some wealthy women wouldn't mind spending a few thousand yuan.

Women have a natural desire for beauty, so starting with women to open up the market should be easier.
But whether it would work had to be tested in the market first, and Jiang Ning planned to leave this task to Shao Shuangshuang.
Jiang Ning had observed Shao Shuangshuang the other day, noting her severe hair loss. Once she used the 'Evergreen Liquid,' the effects would be immediately apparent.
He had already decided that next time he visited Shao Shuangshuang, he would employ some tactics to lead into the 'Evergreen Liquid.'
