Zhang Zhixing shook his head with a smile and said, "Haha, getting sothing from the Alliance is not that easy. Those people don't like to suffer a loss."
"Then what do you need those dicines for?" Miaoqiu asked with a smile.
Zhang Zhixing pondered for two seconds and finally said, "To ensure peace in one area."
This remark left Miaoqiu a bit stunned. Has it escalated to this level? It seems the Alliance has no choice but to hand over the dicine this ti.
As they were speaking, Zhang Zhixing suddenly caught sight of soone.
"Lin Tian! What are you doing here?" Perhaps too surprised, Mr. Zhang blurted out.
In an instant, all eyes were focused on him alone.
Though Lin Tian had faced such situations where he was the center of attention many tis, being watched by so many people again made him feel a bit uneasy.
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to see you here," Lin Tian said with a smile. He truly hadn't expected to encounter Zhang Zhixing here.
"Coincidence? What's so coincidental about it? I have been looking all over for you for the past two days and couldn't find you, only to discover you've co here!" Zhang Zhixing said with a hint of annoyance.
Now it was Lin Tian's turn to be surprised. "Why were you looking for ?"
Zhang Zhixing opened his mouth, wanting to say sothing, but given the presence of others, he could only say, "Let's talk about this later, just don't run around again."
Lin Tian felt helpless, when have I ever run around?
Zhang Zhixing chatted briefly with Miaoqiu, then asked Miaoqiu for a quieter room, took Lin Tian along, and under the bewildered gazes of everyone, went to discuss matters.
The two of them sat facing each other, and once the servant had served the tea and left, Lin Tian impatiently asked, "Minister, what's the matter you wanted to discuss with ? Is there another vegetative patient?"
Zhang Zhixing lightly shook his head. "It's not related to vegetative patients. I'm here to invite you to participate in a scientific research project."
"A scientific research project?" Lin Tian was perplexed for two seconds, then shook his head. "Minister, you must have found the wrong person, right? I'm not a scientist, why would I attend any symposium?"
Zhang Zhixing was dumbfounded. He really didn't know how this guy could be so smart at tis yet so clueless at others.
"This scientific research project is related to dicine. Our country is now urgently seeking talents from across the dical field to solve a difficult problem. Your teacher Zhao Xuefeng and several of your already renowned senior brothers have joined."
"Oh? Do you think I could solve this difficult problem?"
"Yes, when I first heard about this, you were the first person who ca to mind."
"That's truly an honor." Lin Tian chuckled softly and then blinked as he asked, "So many experts have already gone. Do you really need too..."
Zhang Zhixing glared sternly, having been an official for many years, he naturally exuded an authoritative air as he said, "What? Do you want to avoid it? Does this do justice to your dical skills?"
Lin Tian quickly shook his head, "Minister, listen to what you're saying. I never said I wouldn't go. Now that there are no outsiders, can you tell what the difficult problem is so I can prepare?"
"If you wish to know about this, you must sign a confidentiality contract."
"Is it that serious?"
"If it were a small matter, would I need so many people?"
"Just tell first. I swear I won't leak it."
"Haha, I've heard you're a mber of the Security Managent Institute, so I can tell you without a contract. A few days ago, people from the Security Managent Institute intercepted a batch of viruses from Sakula Country at sea, did you know about that?" Zhang Zhixing asked.
"..." Lin Tian was speechless for a mont and finally pointed at himself and said, "That was my doing… Do you think I know or not?"
"You did it?" Zhang Zhixing's mouth opened wide enough to swallow an egg, eyeing Lin Tian with a peculiar look. What kind of monster is this guy?
"Since it was you who did it, I don't need to explain much. The test results of that virus have already co out, and to prevent a recurrence, the country is currently seeking people to solve this problem. Lin Tian, there's no question you have to go!"
Lin Tian didn't expect Zhang Zhixing to place such a responsibility on him. He was silent for two seconds before asking, "Can you tell what the virus does?"
"Didn't Chen Moxiang tell you? Well, it's a relatively slow-acting virus, mainly transmitted through water sources. In roughly half a month, many bodily functions will be damaged in those who drink the infected water. The most obvious is the 'Qi Sea Acupoint' failing. Do I need to tell you about the importance of the Sea of Qi?"
Lin Tian knew very well the importance of the Sea of Qi. It's the source of his spiritual qi, if the Sea of Qi fails, there won't be any spiritual qi.
Moreover, the Sea of Qi is a crucial acupoint in the human body. If anything goes wrong with the Sea of Qi, various ailnts will erge throughout the body.
And these ailnts vary widely, extrely difficult to treat.
"Because the symptoms of this disease are not uniform, it has significantly increased our workload. But solving this virus from its root is also exceedingly difficult."
Zhang Zhixing sighed and said, "This ti, I ca to Luoyan Dock to request a few dicinal materials from the Alliance in hopes of finding so solutions."
Zhang Zhixing's approach made sense. Many rare herbs in the Alliance have antithetical effects, and many are helpful for the Sea of Qi. After all, the most important thing for ancient martial cultivators is the Sea of Qi.
If they were ordinary rare herbs, Zhang Zhixing could easily ask for them. After all, he represents the council.
But if they are herbs that replenish the Sea of Qi, that's another matter.
Because such herbs are also invaluable and extrely rare in the Alliance.
"Minister, what kind of herbs are you looking for this ti?" Lin Tian asked seriously, planning to enter the dicine repository tomorrow night, he could help Zhang Zhixing bring so out."
"Gouqi Emperor, Yangqi, Long Grass..."
Zhang Zhixing listed seven or eight dicine nas in one go, and the more Lin Tian listened, the wider his mouth opened.
Finally, Zhang Zhixing added, "These herbs, at least three portions each. More would be better."
If it were soone else in front of him, Lin Tian would surely think they were either a fool or insane.
He knew all the herbs ntioned. Each one is very beneficial to the Sea of Qi. If Lin Tian could incorporate these herbs during alchemy, the quality of the elixirs would increase by at least one tier.
Such herbs are certainly guarded like treasures, how could they be given away?
Moreover, Zhang Zhixing was asking for three or more portions. That's outright demanding too much!
