Chapter 819: A Familiar Taste

"Alright, now that we know the location, let's start preparing! The sooner we finish, the sooner we can go back and do the experiments!" Old Jin looked at the people from the major families, and then at Gu Yin.

"After the meeting, I contacted the Dabai Mountain area, and they have agreed. Your teacher will bring some medicinal herbs over and arrive here tonight. We'll head back now and check the lab to see if anything is missing so we can make arrangements for you. We'll leave this to them. Once you've finished making the medicine, we'll come back."

Gu Yin had originally wanted to see how to defend herself, but upon hearing this, she could only nod and say, "No problem, I can do it."

When they arrived, there was a group of people, but when they left, it was just Elder Jin, Xiao Sheng, and Gu Yin. Chi Ye also had to stay and help.

After returning to the base, Elder Jin personally took Gu Yin to the laboratory.

"Look, this is what we prepared for you before you came. See if there's anything you're not satisfied with or if anything is missing."

In a laboratory that was estimated to be over 200 square meters, there were several brand-new experimental devices. Gu Yin walked over and examined them one by one.

"If I'm not mistaken, these are all equipment needed for biomedical experiments. What about equipment related to mechanics and materials science?"

Mr. Jin smiled and said, "That's right, these are all equipment for your specialty. There's another room across the aisle that's not ready yet. Once these things are settled, the other room will be almost ready too."

Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this. Indeed, the snake's side was in a hurry. Let's get the medicine out first. Although she had the medicine ready, it was for her own use and was very effective. Moreover, it had nothing to do with tribulation or anything like that. She still had to ask the cultivation world again and also ask Chi Xingye for help.

"Where did I put my luggage? I have some medicine with me. I'll prepare it first. It's in my travel bag. Can someone bring it over?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Jin made a phone call, and someone quickly brought Gu Yin's travel bag over.

After everyone left, Gu Yin took another closer look at the equipment and smiled, "It's the same equipment Chu Yan bought, so there's no need to worry. By the way, 001, could you contact the cultivation world for me? What do I need for this tribulation? Do I have any prescriptions that will do? Or should I change them?"

001 nodded upon hearing this: "I contacted the medicine department directly. Please wait a moment. Oh, they replied. They said that the spiritual energy required for the tribulation is extremely high. Given the scarcity of spiritual energy here, the prescription they gave you before might not be enough. However, they sent over a new pill prescription. Please take a look. They also sent you the medicinal herbs along with it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yin opened her schoolbag and took out the medicinal herbs that 001 had just redeemed from the system.

"Open the prescription, let me take a look," the words had barely left his lips when a string of numbers entered Gu Yin's mind.

Gu Yin looked at it for a while and found that it was similar to the previous prescription, except that it contained a magical herb called "Bone-Crushing Grass".

According to the prescription, Gu Yin found several white herbs that looked like houttuynia cordata among a pile of herbs.

Gu Yin took out the two stalks and turned to ask Chi Ye if he had seen them before. After all, he was quite old and had wandered around a lot; maybe there were some in this area. She also wanted to see if they could be planted and raised successfully.

After preparing the medicinal herbs, Gu Yin began her experiment.

Once the experiment started, she never stopped, and she didn't even appear when Cheng Dong came over.

"Everything is ready over there by the lake, and the python is waiting there too. Ah Yin still hasn't come out. Is this medicine difficult to make? Is there any danger?" Old Jin and his group were waiting at the door.

The agreed-upon three days have passed, and it's already the fourth day. Gu Yin still hasn't come out, and Old Jin is getting a little worried.

"Don't worry, this is normal for her. Although this medicine has been made before, it was always used on soldiers. Now it's being used on a snake, and such a big one at that. The manufacturing method must have changed. There's an alarm inside, right? If anything happens to her, the alarm will definitely go off. Don't worry. Besides, at her speed, she'll probably be out today." Cheng Dong wasn't in a hurry; he was already used to it.

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the laboratory door clicked and then opened.

Gu Yin changed out of her lab coat and turned around to see Professor Jin and her teacher waiting at the door, which surprised her.

"Teachers, what brings you here?" Gu Yin hurriedly went out.

Cheng Dong smiled and said, "Old Jin was worried that something might happen to you inside, so he couldn't sit still and came to wait. How are things? Do you have enough medicinal herbs? I brought some more."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yin looked at Elder Jin and said apologetically, "I was so engrossed in my experiment that I didn't notice what was happening outside. I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm fine, and the medicine is ready. Let's go over now."

Upon hearing this, Old Jin sighed, "There's no rush. You haven't made a sound in there these past few days, not even eating! If the alarm hadn't gone off, I would have had the door broken down! The experiment is important, but your health is even more important! You can't go on like this. Your team needs to be selected as soon as possible. How can a lab manage with only one person? That would kill someone! I'll arrange a few assistants for you later, or you can see if there are any people you're comfortable with. Our base can make an exception and take them in. In short, things can't go on like this for the past few days! You're still growing! I've been having people prepare things for you, just waiting for you to come out."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came over with a tray of food.

"Try it, our cooking here is pretty good." It's mainly because some scions of wealthy families have high standards in this area. If they don't send a chef, they bring their own. This place isn't open to just anyone, so we had no choice but to ask the leaders to transfer them over.

Gu Yin wasn't actually hungry. In the lab, if she got hungry, she would eat the fasting pills from the cultivation world. But even if she wasn't hungry, she still wanted to try some delicious food!

Looking at the simple bowl of dumplings, Gu Yin tasted one. After finishing it, she raised her eyebrows and continued to try the next one.

"How is it? Does it taste good?" Old Jin asked with a smile.

After finishing the rest of her food, Gu Yin wiped her mouth and smiled, "The cooking skills of the descendants of imperial chefs must be excellent!"

The person holding the plate next to him asked in surprise, "How did you know it was made by a descendant of the imperial chefs?" The others were also surprised, but Cheng Dong was not surprised at all.

“You have a senior sister who runs a royal cuisine restaurant in Beijing. Your senior sister has always been on good terms with the Chu family. This girl happens to be paired with a boy from the Chu family, so she benefits from it and often gets to eat there. Later, your senior sister even transferred a chef from the restaurant to work as a live-in chef at this girl's house!” Cheng Dong explained with a smile.

"I see! We've been busy at the base and haven't heard from anyone outside. As for the Imperial Chef, everyone only knows that it's related to Senior Sister. By the way, how is Senior Sister doing?" The man looked at Gu Yin expectantly.

Gu Yin nodded: "Aunt Ya is doing very well, don't worry."

After finishing their business, the group set off for the glacier.

Still on mountain bikes, three hours later they arrived at the glacier.

"So many people?" Gu Yin asked in surprise, looking at the dense crowd on the shore.

“They’re all from aristocratic families. This is the first time anyone has seen someone undergoing tribulation, so they’ve all come to take a look and try to understand it. It might be useful to them. The rest are security guards.” Xiao Sheng also came over. He was still Gu Yin’s staunch supporter (and a sycophant).

So that's how it is. No wonder they all looked so unfamiliar. Gu Yin didn't look at them and walked straight towards Chi Ye because she saw Chi Xingye coming over and soaking in the lake.
