"Impossible, that prescription is from a book I..." Xiao Tian's words halted abruptly, his brow furrowing tightly because he indeed thought of a problem.
The herbal dicines in the prescription — Dragon and Tiger Root, Crimson Cloud Lotus, and Luo'e Leaf — each by themselves are harmless, but the problem is that once these three are mixed together, they will induce diarrhea.
In other words, if you brew the dicine according to this prescription without considering replacing any herbs, no matter how you adjust the proportions, the effect will always be one thing — a laxative.
Realizing this, Xiao Tian didn't regret his oversight too much. The pressing matter now was to produce a product; as for this issue, let it serve as a lesson!
After replacing a few of the herbs, Xiao Tian imdiately had linda start brewing again, confidently stating that it would definitely succeed this ti!
linda originally wanted to persuade Xiao Tian to give up, but seeing his confident manner and his promise to give up imdiately if it didn't work this ti, she finally agreed.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. linda looked at Xiao Tian, standing there with a do-or-die attitude, this success or failure being crucial, and couldn't help but close her eyes.
After a long ti, when she didn't hear the rumbling sound, linda tried opening her eyes, only to see that the earlier pale complexion of nearly exhausted Xiao Tian was gradually regaining its rosy color.
"It's a success!" linda exclaid softly, her eyes revealing an uncontrollable expression of delight.
After a while, Xiao Tian opened his eyes and nodded slowly, "The effect of this potion is quite good, it can accelerate the flow of True Qi by about half, lasting roughly five minutes."
"Five minutes?!" linda couldn't help but widen her beautiful eyes: "And it can accelerate the flow of True Qi by half?!"
Indeed, linda was sowhat shocked. The True Qi speed increase by half for five minutes was sothing she, as a master, understood very well, yet precisely because she understood it fully, she was even more astonished!
In a duel between masters, even the slightest margin ans the difference between life and death. The seemingly small increase in True Qi flow by half is enough to create a crushing situation when both sides have equal strength.
With the speed of True Qi increased, one can unleash their moves more quickly. For example, if an opponent's killer move takes thirty seconds to charge, you could unleash your own in about twenty seconds.
The difference here, you could say, is vast!
And after confirming that the dicine was successful, Xiao Tian also took this opportunity to recover so strength and then plunged into the developnt of other dicines.
Having learned a painful lesson earlier, this ti Xiao Tian smartened up. Before trying a new prescription, he would definitely list the herbs on paper, then analyze the pharmacology of the combinations.
He checked to see if there were any conflicting herbs, and if so, attempted to use herbs with similar effects as substitutes. Afterward, he looked for any herbs with overlapping dicinal effects, and if there were any, made selective decisions.
As for linda, upon seeing Xiao Tian could now independently develop dicines, she ran back to her side and earnestly began perfecting the completed concealed weapons.
...
The two of them were busy until evening before having their first al of the day.
"It slls so good!" linda comnted, watching Xiao Tian brush a thick layer of honey over the wild rabbit while sniffing the tempting aroma.
These three words, however, brought Xiao Tian into distant mories, reminiscing about when Liu Ruyan also said the sa thing.
...
After a long while, snapping back to reality, Xiao Tian looked at the phone in his hand with its battery about to run out and no signal indicator, and he couldn't help but think of Le Yaoyao and Yu Ningxue.
Presumably, unable to contact him, they must be quite worried, right?
However, seeing linda's ticulously prepared hidden weapons, Xiao Tian's brow furrowed again.
Indeed, linda's hidden weapons are very covert, capable of surprising soone, but the power is indeed unsatisfactory.
"I think the power of this kind of concealed weapon is still not enough." Xiao Tian expressed his judgnt and began modifying linda's hidden weapons.
For example, he applied poison to the sharp points, made the firing angles more tricky, and even executed unscrupulous modifications, which left linda speechless.
Xiao Tian's modifications did indeed increase the power exponentially, but the unethical aspects also increased by several folds.
"Isn't this too wicked?" linda couldn't help but say, watching the engrossed Xiao Tian.
"But enemies won't bother with ethics with you!" Xiao Tian retorted coldly: "Think for yourself. If it were an enemy, they would probably complain that the power wasn't enough, but worry if it's wicked enough?"
linda fell into silence imdiately. Although Xiao Tian's words made sense, she still couldn't fully accept it.
Even though she felt sowhat unhappy, linda had to admit that Xiao Tian's thods were indeed very effective.
After his modifications, the power of the hidden weapons would now multiply, leaving her wanting to oppose but without any grounds to refute.

On the other side, Zong Jian's situation was quite distressing.
Due to Zhou Huchen's DNA test report, he was thrust into a terribly passive position. With this unequivocal "ironclad evidence," even though Zong Jian had always been highly respected, he couldn't clear himself of this taint.
Moreover, Zhou Huchen insisted that they were in a father-son relationship, and along with the DNA test report, Zong Jian left himself indefensible.
The news quickly reached Yu Ningxue through Zong Jian's family, yet after many attempts to call Xiao Tian failed with the phone out of service, Yu Ningxue also fell into anxiety.
Now, without knowing Xiao Tian's circumstances, and Zong Jian, the generous elder, wrongfully imprisoned, the course of action could only rely on herself.
"First, reply to Elder Zong's family and assure them that within a month, we will definitely clear Elder Zong's na," Yu Ningxue ordered gravely, "We absolutely cannot let good people suffer unjustly!"
The two police officers beside her promised in one voice, yet their expressions were extrely grim as they picked up the notebook on the table and walked out.
Once the two had left, Yu Ningxue felt a sense of helplessness wash over her, the feeling of knowing the truth yet being overshadowed by malicious people was indeed suffocating!
Now, with everyone around her having their own tasks, Yu Ningxue, relatively less occupied, felt overwheld by the pressure and couldn't help but wonder, if he were here, what decision he would make?
But recalling her past over-reliance on Xiao Tian, Yu Ningxue bit her lip tightly, determined that this ti, she would make him see her in a new light!
