Xiao Tian nodded expressionlessly and asked, "What about the tableware he used before?"
As soon as he asked, the leader quickly grabbed a paper cup from the recliner behind him and said, "This is the gentleman’s breakfast, but he only managed to feed half a cup before he couldn’t continue."
Xiao Tian took the paper cup, removed the lid, then lifted his arm and took a sip before revealing a knowing smile.
Seeing this, the chief physician hurriedly approached and asked, "You’ve discovered sothing, haven’t you?"
His gaze shifting, Xiao Tian realized this chief physician’s curiosity was intense, and if he didn’t provide an answer, he might be pestered endlessly. After a brief contemplation, he said, "The porridge earlier contained an ingredient that temporarily disrupts the heart rhythm, slowly decreasing it afterward."
"The conclusion is that during the volatilization of this ingredient, the heart becos incredibly fragile. If a pacemaker is used to stimulate it at this mont, it won’t save the person but instead harm them!"
Xiao Tian’s straightforward explanation clearly didn’t satisfy the chief physician, who imdiately pursued further inquiry, "Do you know what that ingredient is?"
"No idea!"
After dropping this remark grumpily, Xiao Tian turned and walked toward Ghost Face, who had been moved to the observation room.
Watching the group gradually move away, the chief physician picked up the porridge cup left on the recliner, determined to find out what ingredient Xiao Tian had ntioned.
However, he was destined for disappointnt.
Because Xiao Tian was actually explaining in a way the chief physician could understand. Although the result appeared the sa and the problem indeed lay in that porridge, examining it closely led to completely different conclusions.
In fact, Xiao Tian’s discovery was equally vague, as he knew of seven or eight substances that could produce a similar effect.
Things like Fish Soaring Grass, Golden Wing Mushroom, Purple Fla Orchid, and others have similar effects, so pinpointing the exact one would require considerable effort.
However, Xiao Tian didn’t intend to waste ti on this; even if he found an answer, it wouldn’t be very useful.
Furthermore, he had no intention of investigating the origin of the porridge because he had roughly guessed who was secretly behind it.
Currently, although evidence is lacking, judging by the usual style of the perpetrator, it matches very well with the owner of the mysterious letter, likely it’s the Mysterious Man causing trouble in the shadows.
But Xiao Tian believes the urgent task is not to be misled into searching for the one behind it but rather to wake Ghost Face from his slumber.
As for the one hiding behind the scenes, even Xiao Tian doesn’t know whether the person targeting him is male or female or what their objective is.
Xiao Tian firmly believes that one day the person will surface, and all mysteries will be unraveled, but that day is not now.
His intuition tells him that day won’t be too far off!
...
Stepping into Ghost Face’s ward, Xiao Tian carefully examined his condition, striving to be thorough.
Finally, after a busy session, Xiao Tian arrived at the most fitting answer given Ghost Face’s current state—poisoning!
But as for what poison, Xiao Tian temporarily had no answer, especially after the fake Shaking Light Disc was destroyed, it was like there was no evidence, and he could only respond based on his current condition.
After explaining so necessary things, Xiao Tian drove back to the villa and pulled out the ancient book gifted by Sun Bo, consulting it for a redy addressing Ghost Face’s symptoms.
Searching around, Xiao Tian really found a redy that could match the symptoms, but so dicine nas puzzled him. He could only search historical records to find ntions of them.
Fortunately, many nas in traditional dicine have been carried forward without much alteration, so searching wasn’t too taxing. But the dicine lead marked in red on the recipe continuously eluded Xiao Tian.
According to the prescription, although the other dicinal materials are precious and extrely rare, after plundering the assets of third-party camp experts and purchasing from Sun Bo’s village, he could roughly gather them.
However, the dicine lead known as "Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation" was a real headache for Xiao Tian. He hadn’t even heard of this na before, not to ntion finding reference to it in ancient books.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian thought of a person he hadn’t contacted for a long ti, a true information broker—Net.
Finding him might solve the current mystery and break the impasse.
Acting on this thought, Xiao Tian imdiately dialed Net’s number.
As soon as the call connected, instead of a greeting, he first heard a series of keyboard clacking in the background.
"Help find sothing," Xiao Tian stated outright.
After a mont, accompanied by the background clatter, Net’s casual voice ca through the receiver, "You’re as direct as ever. Tell , what do you need to find."
Xiao Tian didn’t mince words, directly stating, "Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation; it might not go by this na now."
Thinking of Sun Bo’s account that this was a book passed down through generations, he added, "Around three hundred years ago."
"Three hundred years?!" Net couldn’t help but exclaim and then asked, "What is the Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation you ntioned? A weapon or sothing else?"
Xiao Tian replied candidly, "I don’t know; if I knew, I wouldn’t be asking you to find it."
"Wait a bit; I’ve got a few big orders pressing on . I’ll get back to you!" After Xiao Tian finished speaking, Net responded after a long silence.
Xiao Tian’s tone beca imdiately stern, "Three days, no! Two days. In two days, if you haven’t found it, that big order can go to soone else!"
After saying this, Xiao Tian hung up before Net could reply.
Although he had so confidence in Net’s efficiency and capability, Xiao Tian also understood that Huaxia’s nearly thousand years of historical change, although investigating things from three hundred years ago didn’t sound like much, wasn’t as easy as re number comparison!
First, accurately identifying this na and then tracing it down until finding its current na and the location of Blowing Snow Ghost Spring Condensation.
Such a massive workload, not to ntion two days, even twenty days might seem tight.
However, ti waits for no one; even once found, obtaining it would take so effort, then there’s manufacturing, which makes the required ti even more unpredictable.
But the only choice is to take it step by step; thinking too far ahead does no good, and this is sothing Xiao Tian knows well.
After the call with Net ended, Xiao Tian thought of another encyclopedic figure—a little girl in the Divine Sense Realm of Lin Bingxuan, Duoduo.
...
When Xiao Tian entered Lin Bingxuan’s Divine Sense Realm, he found the little girl sitting at the desk in a sulk. On the ssy desktop, sheets of paper were scattered without order, and the girl’s expression seed extrely gloomy at the mont.
