at the same time.

The Imperial Guard Empire, the Hundred Life Medicine Research Institute.

Lin Yushen pushed open the door to the research lab and asked the person who had just taken off his mask, "Master Gao, how's it going? Any progress?"

Gao Yong took off his mask, shook his head and said, "Your Highness, I have carefully studied the ingredients and effects of the deodorizing powder that you had collected. It is very ordinary and cannot possibly suppress the animal attractant I developed."

Lin Yu frowned and said, "All the deodorizing powders from the Lingliu Empire, big and small, are here. If none of them are it, it can only mean that the deodorizing powder that Ye Xingxue used back then was newly developed by his own people."

Gao Yong nodded: "It's very likely."

Speaking of this, Gao Yong smiled and said, "The Lingliu Empire did produce quite a few talented people in the field of medicine last year."

Lin Yushen's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. Before he could speak, there was a knock on the door. Gao Yuhang pushed the door open and bowed to Lin Yushen, saying, "Third Prince."

Lin Yushen nodded: "Major General Gao is back?"

Gao Yuhang nodded, and Lin Yushen said calmly, "Then you two go about your business, I won't disturb your reunion."

Then he said to Gao Yong, "Master Gao, I will continue to investigate this matter. I may need to trouble you again in the future."

Gao Yong said, "You're too kind, Third Prince."

Lin Yushen didn't say much, turned around and left.

After Lin Yushen left, Gao Yong asked Gao Yuhang, "How come you have time to come back from the army at this time?"

"I came back to take care of some things." Gao Yuhang didn't elaborate, but seeing more than a hundred small packets of odor-removing powder on Gao Yong's table, he asked, "Why did Great-Grandfather suddenly start researching odor-removing powder?"

Gao Yong explained, "During the last Imperial Joint Examination, the Third Prince took a sample of Beast Attraction Agent from me and set a trap for the Crown Prince of the Lingliu Empire. He intended to eliminate the opponent, but unexpectedly, the opponent had a deodorizing powder that could counteract my newly developed Beast Attraction Agent, and in the end, the danger was averted."

Gao Yuhang narrowed his eyes: "The Lingliu Empire actually has a deodorizing powder that can counteract the beast-attracting agent you developed?"

“Yes,” Gao Yong said with a smile, “The Third Prince was quite interested in that odor-removing powder, but the camera was too far away from the Crown Prince of the Lingliu Empire during the live broadcast, so it was impossible to see the specific brand.”

The third prince had no choice but to send people to investigate, collecting various odor-removing powders from all the major and minor brands in the Lingliu Empire and bringing them back for research.

"I was also quite interested in the deodorizing powder that could suppress my animal attractant, so I started to research it."

Gao Yuhang: "The result was not ideal?"

"Um."

Gao Yuhang said, "The person who can develop a deodorizing powder that can counteract your animal attractant is indeed remarkable and worth studying. But isn't this kind of research a waste of time?"

Speaking of this, Gao Yong's eyes darkened: "I've seen the video of the Crown Prince of the Lingliu Empire encountering the beast horde. The odor-removing powder was effective immediately. Even the odor-removing powder that I personally developed to counteract my beast-attracting agent cannot achieve this effect."

Gao Yuhang's expression changed slightly: "Where is the video?"

Gao Yong watched that live stream video many times and saved it.

Now that Gao Yuhang wanted to see it, Gao Yong directly sent him the video.

After receiving the video, Gao Yuhang immediately started watching it.

Indeed, just as his great-grandfather had said, the deodorizing powder worked remarkably well, with immediate and extraordinary results.

He exited the video and said calmly, "First there was the poison of the Green Vine Snake, then the poison on the Crown Prince of the Lingliu Empire and the purifier of the exotic beast meat, followed by the deodorizing powder—did the Lingliu Empire produce a lot more capable people in just one year last year... no, in just half a year?"

Gao Yong nodded: "Yes."

Gao Yong packed his things and left the research institute with Gao Yuhang. After dinner, they went home.

As soon as he got home, Gao Yuhang's adjutant saluted him and handed him a dozen or so notebooks with yellowed pages: "Sir, these are all the ancient martial arts techniques that our men have collected during this period. Several highly respected ancient martial arts masters will arrive tonight."

"As for the Crown Princess of the Lingliu Empire, there is still no news. According to the news that came back from there, their Crown Princess has officially severed ties with the Ling family. It is unlikely that we will be able to get any useful information from the Ling family in the future."

Gao Yuhang: "Then let's try to find out through other channels."

"It's already been arranged."

Gao Yuhang nodded, and after his adjutant left, he began to carefully examine the ancient martial arts manual in his hand.
