Chapter 826 Divine Elixir! (Seeking monthly votes)
When Wu Aiguo saw his brother-in-law again, although the man no longer had a general's star on his shoulder, his strength had indeed improved considerably.
Logically speaking, given that his brother-in-law is over forty-five years old, he shouldn't have made any further progress in martial arts.
Needless to say, it's the result of using good products.
It's unclear whether Wu Aiguo's brother-in-law actually used the three Water Spirit Pearls he gave him.
It was Chinese New Year, and we were still spending the holiday at my father-in-law's house.
Upon meeting him, his father-in-law revealed some news: he might be promoted further and become one of the provincial party committee leaders!
This is exactly what should have been done!
What a joke! If three Water Spirit Pearls couldn't bring him such benefits, he would have to doubt his father-in-law's abilities.
At this time, apart from Wu Aiguo's two children who were still young, according to his father-in-law's side, the third generation had all come of age.
The leader of the group was Wu Aiguo's three adopted sons!
While they studied diligently, they also honed their martial arts skills.
In particular, Wu Xiaocao's experience last summer seemed to have spurred the three siblings on, making them extremely enthusiastic about practicing martial arts.
This year, in addition to Wu Xiaocao, Wu Ziqiang and Wu Buxi will also graduate from school, and have long been in the sights of various forces.
It's funny, Wu Ziqiang clearly had no intention of studying abroad, nor did he actively apply for government-funded overseas study.
As a result, some teachers at the school frequently encouraged him to go abroad.
They claim that foreign technology is advanced and that studying at prestigious foreign universities can lead to better career advancement.
Wu Ziqiang refused them all; he had his own plans.
In university, he studied electrical automation.
What might seem insignificant to later generations was, at that time, a cutting-edge discipline.
In fact, Wu Aiguo, his adoptive father, had already made arrangements for him.
Give him a small factory on the verge of bankruptcy to work on; as for how well he manages to turn it into something, that depends on his abilities.
Of course, Wu Aiguo would not really abandon the matter.
Their future prospects are certainly not small.
However, he will definitely visit the relevant ministries before that.
As for the second son, Wu Buxi, he was originally a military academy student and will definitely develop in the army in the future, so there is no need for Wu Aiguo to exert himself.
As for Wu Xiaocao, she will definitely return to work at the regional hospital.
She studies traditional Chinese medicine. If she can learn even one-tenth of Wu Aiguo's level, becoming a national champion will be no problem at all.
In contrast, the children of the eldest and second eldest brothers-in-law, as well as the eldest sister-in-law, all attended only universities and junior colleges, and their grades were quite average, making it difficult to offer them any support.
Without a special opportunity or a sudden and significant improvement in ability, one can only stay in provincial government agencies or state-owned enterprises at most.
Given their abilities, it would be difficult for them to work at the grassroots level.
It can be said that in the 1980s and 1990s, regardless of one's background, the level of university one attended already made a difference.
Perhaps some talented individuals are able to bridge this enormous gap.
But more often than not, the difference in ability is already made at the moment of graduation.
Looking back, most of the big shots who rose from humble beginnings had degrees from top universities.
Obviously, the same applies to the father-in-law's family!
Even with the strong support of his father-in-law, he could only reach the regional level at most. To advance further, he would need to rely on his own abilities.
Or perhaps they were incredibly lucky and followed the right person with great fortune.
Besides, Wu Aiguo is no pushover. Although he's the son-in-law, his advancement doesn't require his father-in-law's help; all he needs to do is ensure that his achievements aren't stolen.
If it weren't for the Water Spirit Pearl incident, Wu Aiguo's position in the provincial party committee might have surpassed his father-in-law's in a year or two.
Of course, such a situation is unlikely to actually occur within the provincial party committee.
It's highly likely that my father-in-law will either be promoted to the capital or transferred to another province at the same level.
Anyone with eyes can see that Wu Aiguo has a better future.
Given his age and his exceptional ability to develop the local economy, the provincial party committee is unlikely to let him leave easily.
When they rested in the evening, Comrade Shen Ying gave Wu Aiguo a small, exquisite porcelain bottle, saying that it was a gift from his father-in-law.
Along with the small porcelain bottle was a handwritten instruction manual!
Wu Aiguo took it and looked at it: Immortal Powder!
As for its effects, there's a lot of exaggeration involved, but of course, this thing definitely belongs to the category of extraordinary items.
Fortunately, he inherited the legacy of the Chunyang Temple in the Five Old Peaks Secret Realm and was very knowledgeable about the so-called Immortal Powder.
To put it simply, it's the infamous 'Five Stones Powder' from history!
According to the lineage of Chunyang Temple, 'Five Stone Powder' is a supernatural medicine of the lowest quality.
However, its effects are specifically targeted at the human body, and its effect on stimulating the body's potential is very obvious.
Of course, there are also side effects from taking this stuff!
After all, this stuff is a kind of elixir, and if one's physical strength is insufficient or one's cultivation is inadequate, it will be a disaster.
No wonder my brother-in-law's physical condition has improved so much; it turns out he's been taking 'Five-Stone Powder'.
Wu Aiguo understood that his father-in-law's ability to produce a considerable amount of 'Five Stone Powder' meant that the method of making it and the raw materials were not uncommon.
This is the most crucial situation.
"This thing is good, but unfortunately it's not really suitable for us!"
Wu Aiguo carefully put away the small porcelain bottle and said leisurely, "In fact, the premium tonic pills I personally prepared, along with the accompanying medicinal meals and medicines, have similar effects to this stuff!"
"Then why doesn't Brother use the Ten-Ingredient Tonic Pill and its accompanying medicinal diet?"
"The premium tonic pills and accompanying medicinal diets that I created require intensive exercise to absorb and digest, and their effects are probably only one-tenth to one-twentieth of those of the 'Immortal Powder'!"
Wu Aiguo patiently explained, "It requires a long period of accumulation and training, and I'm afraid my elder brother doesn't have the energy for that right now!"
"Dad said this is a good thing!"
Comrade Shen Ying reminded us: "It is said that it can greatly improve physical fitness and even prolong life!"
"But this stuff isn't easy to fully digest and absorb!"
Wu Aiguo said calmly, "You've heard of 'Five-Stone Powder,' right? This stuff is the standard 'Five-Stone Powder'!"
The reason I made it so clear is that I don't want Comrade Shen Ying to take it in private, as that would not be a good thing.
If substances cannot be digested and absorbed in time, excessive accumulation of residual substances in the body will be harmful to health.
"What, this is 'Five-Stone Powder'?"
Sure enough, Comrade Shen Ying's expression changed, clearly showing that he had become much more wary.
"What about my brother and the others..."
Immediately afterwards, she said worriedly, "My brothers have clearly taken it. Should we remind them to stop?"
Do you think your older brother and the others will accept your explanation before they experience the harm it causes?
