Sakura Country:
"We truly don't know what this Great Xia is doing. Who can research this kind of thing? What is the purpose of researching it? Great Xia needs to give us an explanation. Perhaps our professors and your Eagle Country professors were killed by this thing."
"Aren't the people of Eagle Country going to pursue this matter? This poison that can kill all marine life with just one drop, shouldn't it be made public?"
"Who knows what wicked schemes Great Xia is brewing? Perhaps this is just the first step in Great Xia's pursuit of something unspeakable."
Great Han Ming Country:
"Oh my god, are we in danger then? After all, we are so close to Great Xia. If they want to do something to harm us, won't we be in great danger?"
"What is Great Xia doing? Are they trying to harm us? Great Xia, shouldn't you hand over the antidote? Even if you don't hand it over, you should at least give us the prescription!"
"Exactly, isn't it just traditional Chinese medicine? Don't we have that? You must give us an explanation for this matter."
Great Xia:
"Eagle Country, have you taken the wrong medicine? This matter belongs to Great Xia, what business is it of yours? Do you have a persecution complex? What is ours is ours. Why do you take out your technological chips for us to investigate? Do you also have some unspeakable secrets?"
"Sakura Country, are you brain-dead? Your professors brought their deaths upon themselves, who can you blame? But if you are now colluding with Eagle Country, believe it or not, I will finish all of you off right now? And unspeakable first step? What unspeakable first step has your Abe family taken, why don't you say it?"
"Great Han Ming Country, with your pathetic state, do we need to use this precious poison to kill you? What are you? Are you even worthy? This is truly laughable. You are not worthy of this thing, so you don't need to worry about being poisoned by it."
Eagle Country:
"Are you dreaming? That is our technology, why should we give it to you?"
Great Xia:
"That is our poison, why should we give it to you? Aren't you dreaming? You're either on drugs or have been kicked by a donkey."
Sakura Country:
"Do you dare to say that Great Xia has no unspeakable secrets? Why don't you reveal them?"
Great Xia:
"Reveal them? You Abe family should also reveal your things, reveal all those unspeakable matters for us to see."
Great Han Ming Country:
"Who are you calling unworthy? How high-class can your Great Xia be? You've even researched this kind of thing, what exactly do you want to do?"
Great Xia:
"I said you are unworthy, and you already know it, so why ask? So what if we researched this thing? We'll do whatever we want, do we need to tell you? What are you? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror?"
The four countries have successfully, once again, opened a new chapter on the international stage.
At this moment, within Great Xia.
Many scholars of traditional Chinese medicine have begun to hold meetings, curious about the poison in Zhou Lin's hands. Therefore, they have begun to research various ancient books, searching for records of this "Yao Meng Long," but all efforts have been in vain.
This is not just a poison, but also the inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine. If this can be operated well, it will also make some contributions to society.
"Scholars, we can't find it. Now we can only go to Zhou Lin to ask for clarification, otherwise we won't know its components."
"Yes, we haven't researched the components, only the records. This is truly like finding a needle in a haystack. Even if we have the components, we may not be able to study them thoroughly. Our traditional Chinese medicine and the Book of Changes are interconnected. If we add Taoist elements, we may not succeed."
"Let's go find Zhou Lin. At least it's good to research even one drop."
The surrounding traditional Chinese medicine practitioners looked at the leading scholar with helpless expressions.
"I will personally go to the Archaeological Institute once to see if I can get a drop."
The elder at the head heard this and finally sighed, deciding to go and see for himself. It wasn't that he wanted to use his identity as a master of traditional Chinese medicine to approach the dean.
It was truly because he wanted to thoroughly research this thing.
At this moment, inside the tomb.
Zhou Lin took out the porcelain bottle in his hand and neutralized the poison in the water source.
The water began to clear up.
"Zhou Lin, how did that thing come out just now? Why were there these eye seals, and why were there so many on the catfish's body..."
The metaphysics professor didn't know how to describe it.
"This is an evil creature, an ancient evil art. There are thousands upon thousands of evil arts, and what we saw in the tomb is just the tip of the iceberg. I cannot explain the specifics to you clearly, but this thing is a congealed entity bred by poison and antidote."
"They are both poison and antidote."
"Therefore, when I detoxified you earlier with the detoxifying water, it was useless. The poison in my hand is a strong anesthetic, which is why I used poison to resolve them."
After Zhou Lin finished speaking, he sat on the ground and took out the pots and pans he had.
The food these people had eaten earlier had been vomited out, and after walking such a long distance, they must be hungry.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded as if they understood, and then watched Zhou Lin prepare to cook. They joined in to help.
But when they saw the ingredients taken out...
They instantly lost their appetite. They really didn't want to eat this.
Isn't this courting death? They had just seen a pile of rotten meat.
At this moment, an uninvited guest entered the live broadcast room.
The Dean of the Research Institute.
"Mr. Zhou Lin, we are willing to pay a high price for your Yao Meng Long. You can name your price."
"Holy crap, our Dean of the Research Institute has made a move? Zhou Lin has great prestige!"
"Yes, your Great Xia is truly honored. You'd better sell the item to the Dean, it's your honor."
"Oh my, this is the first time I've seen you describe shamelessness so elegantly. You say you want something and you have to sell it? You speak so arrogantly when buying things, I find it truly laughable."
"I bet your Dean will be driven away miserably by the great one. Your so-called honor is just a shoe sole in the eyes of my great one, understand?"
...
A student who was watching the monitor at this moment happened to see the situation in the live broadcast room.
He then walked to Zhou Lin, who was boiling soup, and relayed the matter.
But who knew—
Zhou Lin didn't even raise his head and replied without hesitation.
"Not for sale."
