Chapter 952: Mud Pill
Lin Tian was silent for a moment, his mind racing quickly, and finally agreed: "No problem, this formula is only for your Tang Family. After all, there are many opportunities for us to collaborate in the future, and this time is no exception."
The Tang Family is skilled in concocting poisons; naturally, they’re also adept at alchemy. Offending them would be a very unwise decision.
"Whew~"
Hearing the definitive answer, Tang Zong let out a long sigh of relief.
"Thank you so much. I’ll go back and get the Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir now."
Everyone’s eyes focused solely on Lin Tian, watching him hang up the phone. Mr. Yee couldn’t help but ask, "That... the Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir, what is it?"
Lin Tian thought for a bit, and replied concisely, "A medicine used from an ancient secret recipe. I can’t guarantee it will cure the poison in the Jin Guard’s body, but it can definitely slow down the poison, allowing us time to extract the remaining bullets."
Mr. Yee’s already smiling face lit up even more: "Such miraculous medicine? Why have I never heard of it before?"
Lin Tian chuckled: "There’s very little of this medicine, so it’s rare. If there were more, I’d give a few for everyone to research."
Upon hearing this advantage, everyone’s enthusiasm surged; some asked about the raw materials, others about the manufacturing process, and the atmosphere was very lively.
"Ahem..." Nan Qiu coughed lightly, "Shouldn’t everyone be discussing the Guard’s condition now?"
Her awkward Mandarin was quite recognizable, and upon hearing her, everyone’s enthusiasm died down, and the bustling meeting room fell silent.
Lin Tian rolled his eyes at her, "We’ve been discussing all day here. We’ve talked about everything that needs talking, can’t we talk about something else for a bit?"
"..." Nan Qiu was speechless, glaring fiercely at Lin Tian with fury in her heart. If it weren’t for the fact that this kid was helpful for the Guard’s condition, she would’ve kicked him out long ago!
...
About an hour later, Tang Zong called, saying he was already downstairs at the hotel.
Lin Tian immediately went downstairs and saw Tang Zong leaning against a Hummer, dressed in a black suit that made him look quite like an upper-class person.
However, this speed exceeded Lin Tian’s expectations greatly.
"How did you get the medicine so quickly?" Lin Tian asked.
An hour is indeed too fast. Not to mention returning to the Shu Region, even going to Luoyan Dock and back would take several hours.
"Hehe, we have three pieces of this medicine in our Tang Family: one at Mount Shu, one at Luoyan Dock, and this one in my hand is from our branch in Kanyue City." Tang Zong said with a smile, then handed over a small box.
Lin Tian took the box and asked simultaneously, "Isn’t it a family heirloom? Aren’t you afraid of thieves by not keeping it safe at Mount Shu?"
"Hey, you don’t understand. Which outsider entering our Tang Family doesn’t behave properly? They dare not touch anything, not even drink our most ordinary spring water. Who would dare steal from us? Besides, if a thief came, he might mistake some poison for treasure!"
Hearing that this guy wanted to continue, Lin Tian quickly waved his hand: "Alright, alright, stop showing off. I know your Tang Family is impressive."
Tang Zong gave a shy chuckle, not bothered.
Lin Tian looked down and opened the box adorned with white silk edges and gold trim, and a fragrant scent wafted from the box.
With a gentle sniff, he felt invigorated.
The pill looked quite ordinary, just a black ball like a mud pellet.
"Is this Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir over two hundred years old?" Lin Tian asked softly.
"Two hundred and thirty years or so. But rest assured, the medicine definitely has no problem—though its effectiveness has slightly waned, it doesn’t affect the overall effect."
Lin Tian closed the lid and said lightly: "When this elixir was made two hundred years ago, it should have been white, right?"
"This... I really don’t know. Is there any problem?"
Lin Tian shook his head with a look of disdain: "No problem, just that the quality is too poor."
"..." Tang Zong didn’t know what to say. Look at his disdainful expression!
This is a medicine our Tang Family has preserved for over two hundred years! We’ve been reluctant to eat it, finding ways to treasure it, yet this guy finds it so undesirable.
If the Patriarch of the Tang Family heard this, would his nose be bent out of shape with anger?
"Thanks, I have to go upstairs." Lin Tian waved the box in farewell.
"Wait... what about the formula?" Tang Zong asked urgently. This guy... didn’t forget it, did he?
Lin Tian touched his pocket, pulled out a slightly crumpled white paper, stuffed it in Tang Zong’s hand, and said: "It’s all there. Follow this to practice; the quality will be much better than this ’mud ball’ in my hand."
"Really? You won’t trick me, right?"
"Do I need to trick you? How was the elixir from the formula I gave you before?" Lin Tian asked indifferently.
Tang Zong was speechless; the elixirs crafted from Lin Tian’s formula indeed had impressively undeniable quality.
He looked again at the crumpled formula in his hand, and bitterly smiled. Although it’s a priceless item, why does it seem like Lin Tian used it to wipe his nose?
Lin Tian, carrying the elixir, returned to the presidential suite on the top floor. As he was about to walk into the built-in conference room, he was blocked by Nan Qiu standing at the conference room door.
"What? Robbing me of my virtue?" Lin Tian joked.
"Humph!" Nan Qiu snorted heavily, full of hostility.
Before today, no one dared to tease her like this. Except for the Guard, which man didn’t fear her a little when meeting her?
This Celestial Dragon Continent guy has no sense of danger!
"I have to admit, you’re quite beautiful when you’re angry." Lin Tian said with a smile.
Nan Qiu took a deep breath, ignoring him. She glanced at the box in Lin Tian’s hand and said, "We need to test the medicine before giving it to the Guard."
"Such a hassle." Lin Tian handed the box to Nan Qiu, saying, "There’s only one pill. If you lose it, I really can’t do anything about the Guard’s survival."
Nan Qiu tightly held the box, ignoring Lin Tian, and turned to leave.
As she walked away, Lin Tian clicked his tongue, watching her back.
Needless to say, this girl and Chen Moxiang have comparable figures. Although her chest is smaller than Chen Moxiang’s, she has a very nice butt.
As a top expert, Nan Qiu’s awareness of her surroundings was very sharp.
She could clearly sense Lin Tian’s intense gaze.
A strange emotion arose within her, prompting her to quicken her pace to escape Lin Tian’s sight as soon as possible.
Once Nan Qiu’s silhouette disappeared, Lin Tian regained his thoughts, pushed open the conference room door behind him, and walked in.
