Dragon's Origin

## Chapter 332: Comparative Experiment (Part 1)

After the patterns on the three legs of the giant cauldron were complete, the three legs began to emit indescribable light. The flowing and colorful light made the legs exceptionally beautiful.

The mysterious seven-colored light seemed to wander between the patterns, flashing from time to time, making it so that even Wang Sheng, in his soul space, couldn't seem to grasp the whole picture at a glance.

This was definitely a good thing, Wang Sheng could be sure. If this were a disaster, Wang Sheng would be willing to pay the price of losing all his cultivation. Now, Wang Sheng was worried whether the remaining cosmetics and the pills refined by Grandmaster Qing Chen and Li would be enough to completely finish these patterns.

Fortunately, patterns were just patterns, and completely solidifying the cauldron body was a completely different order of magnitude in terms of demand. At least according to Wang Sheng's current estimate, completing the appraisal of that batch of cosmetics would be completely sufficient to cover the entire cauldron body with patterns.

Wang Sheng didn't let go of the pills refined by Qing Chen and Grandmaster Li Ziyun either, going over to check on them every day and absorbing a bit of the medicinal fumes from the pill refinement. Now, as soon as Wang Sheng's nose entered the pill refinement room, without Qing Chen and Qing Ling telling him what herbs were being used, he could just sniff and tell you exactly what they were, which made Daoist Qing Ling admire him greatly.

Watching the patterns on the cauldron body complete just like when solidifying the giant cauldron before, twenty percent, thirty percent, forty percent, completing at a rate of almost ten percent per day, Wang Sheng's heart grew more and more expectant.

After appraising thousands of kinds of cosmetics one by one, Wang Sheng had already found hundreds of problematic products. Without exception, Run Zi Fang took these problematic products off the shelves, recalled them, and even gave the reasons. They clearly and explicitly stated what materials these problematic cosmetics used and why they were being taken off the shelves.

This almost forced most of the old rouge and powder shops into a corner. At least ten percent of the products they sold used these raw materials. Run Zi Fang was rich and influential, with a good reputation, so they could afford to do recalls, but what could they do? Would they also take their products off the shelves and recall them?

Some people really didn't believe in this and wanted to find justice for these products that Run Zi Fang had taken off the shelves, and also to find a way out for their own products. So, several respected local gentry in the capital came forward to find Run Zi Fang's manager. Because they couldn't enter Run Zi Fang themselves, they specially sent their wives to Run Zi Fang to arrange a meeting with the female manager to discuss the matter.

The specific result of the discussion was that Run Zi Fang's recalled cosmetics were going to be destroyed anyway, so it would be better to take them out for some experiments to see if they really had problems.

As for the experimental method, it was very simple: live experiments. Several gentry planned to use five to ten female slaves, using several special formations to use a large amount of these cosmetics, to see the actual effects.

This formation was very valuable, newly discovered, and said to be a failed work of a very famous formation master. It had no attack power and no defense power. Originally, it was intended to research a formation that could delay aging, but it failed. The result was that the formation could only accelerate some human physiological activities within a local area. Moreover, the formation was very small, and the formation stones would shatter if the size was slightly increased, and there was no solution.

The formation was very small, only covering a circle one foot in diameter, which was just enough for these slaves to use cosmetics and accelerate the physiological changes on their faces, to see if these cosmetics really had problems as Run Zi Fang said, if used for a long time.

When Mei'er told Wang Sheng about this matter, Wang Sheng nodded without saying a word: "Buy the formation, buy it no matter the cost!"

This formation was simply a divine tool for research in cosmetics or certain medicines! Even if the range was very small, it was enough. Unfortunately, it was very valuable, and the other party was only willing to sell five formation stones, which would cost tens of millions of gold coins.

Directly conducting live experiments was definitely not acceptable according to Wang Sheng's moral standards, but the other party insisted, and they were just a few slaves, making it impossible for Wang Sheng to find a reason to step in. There were many slaves in this world, and Wang Sheng was not a saint who came to liberate all mankind. How others treated slaves, how could Wang Sheng manage it?

The experiment was conducted under the supervision of both the official and private sectors, and the experiment itself attracted attention from all parties. To prevent Run Zi Fang from playing tricks, five slaves used one of Run Zi Fang's products, while the other five slaves used a similar rouge shop's fragrance powder made with the same raw materials. In Wang Sheng's words, there was also a comparative experiment, which was very professional.

However, this kind of experiment was not a matter of one or two days. The formation could accelerate the effect by a hundred times, so to see the long-term effect, it would take several days or ten days.

The ten slaves were locked in ten rooms, and besides eating, sleeping, and physiological activities, there was only one thing to do: apply cosmetics to their faces, wash them off after a few minutes, and then apply and wash them again, repeating this process continuously. The formation stones were directly fixed on the slaves' heads as headwear to ensure that they could cover the entire face. Even when sleeping, they had to apply a thick layer of cosmetics before going to sleep.

Wang Sheng did not come forward for any of this. It wasn't that he didn't have confidence, but that he had too much confidence and didn't need to come forward to attract more attention.

On Earth, it had long been verified that whitening products containing heavy metals such as lead and mercury would bring serious side effects and sequelae. Could the people of this world be an exception? Even if some experts had good cultivation and strong metabolism, unless they had something like Wang Sheng's "Soldier" and "Healer" techniques, there would always be accumulation. Moreover, they were just a few ordinary, low-level slaves, who would be willing to use that kind of expert for experiments?

On the first day, the changes in the female slaves who applied the cosmetics were very obvious. In just half a day, after washing their faces, their skin was obviously much whiter. As expected, it was a whitening product with remarkable effects.

On the second day, the effect was not so obvious, but the whitening effect was maintained, which was the greatest success. It could be said that, only talking about whitening and nothing else, these lead, mercury, and heavy metals were indeed very effective.

On the third day, the fourth day, and the fifth day, the effects were all good, and none of the problems that Run Zi Fang said might occur appeared.

Now, more and more people began to discuss it. Some people with ulterior motives began to secretly stir up trouble, saying that these things were poisonous and had side effects, and that it was all a conspiracy by Run Zi Fang, with the purpose of squeezing out the business of traditional rouge shops. At least based on the current effects, this statement still occupied a large market share, seeing is believing.

Even Mei'er was a little anxious, and when she talked to Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng sat firmly on the Diaoyu platform, full of confidence: "Wait a few more days, and you will see!"
