Chapter 408: Throat Spirit Pill
Xia Yue originally thought that her father might have gone to the toilet or something and would be back soon.
After chatting for most of the day, they still hadn't seen him.
She worried that Drug might take advantage of her absence to harm her father.
"After confirming that your brother was awake, he gave me a look and slipped away. I don't know what he's going to do," Old Yi explained slowly.
Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
She wasn't worried about her father's abilities; he had managed to infiltrate the drug industry for so many years, he must have other trump cards up his sleeve.
My job is simply to research and develop an upgraded version of Linghou Pill.
Xia Yue began to discuss it with her master.
To facilitate Xia Yue's research, Drug prepared several laboratories and a rest room specifically for her.
No matter what kind of medicine Xia Yue wants, no matter how precious or rare it is, Drug can satisfy her every need.
As for the pharmaceutical equipment, it is world-class and top-notch.
As a renowned physician, Xia Yue was not particularly pleased with her first experience of such a comfortable pharmaceutical environment.
Drug is a wicked organization that does all sorts of heinous things.
The better their conditions, the more people they have persecuted.
If I want to live a peaceful life for the rest of my days, the only way is to destroy this organization.
But such an organization, which has spread all over the world and lasted for hundreds of years, is not so easy to destroy.
The more Xia Yue thought about it, the more hopeless the future seemed.
But no matter what, she had to persevere!
At least hold on until Qin Yeting comes back!

Meanwhile, the situation was equally complicated for Qin Yeting.
After selecting the protective suit, he took the people assigned to him by Drug and set off for his "destination".
Midway through, Qin Yeting encountered a support team.
That was Shang Zexi, whom he specially sent off the island to return to the Qin family and then rushed back!
Drug hadn't expected Qin Yeting to have help, and for a moment they were unsure what to do and dared not go any further.
One of the men in black, who was in charge of leading the way and also keeping an eye on Qin Yeting, said, "The leader is right. He said you were going to retrieve the treasure alone, not that you were bringing so many people with you."
"Do you really think my boss Qin has three heads and six arms, and can do such an amazing thing all by himself? Without me as your best assistant, you guys would never complete the mission even if you waited another ten years!" Shang Zexi spoke first, giving the other side a good scolding.
The man continued to look at Qin Yeting warily, without saying a word.
Finally, Qin Yeting stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "They are my assistants. You know how dangerous this trip is. My Qin family has a set of professional equipment, just in time to deal with emergencies underground in the mine. If they don't go, then I won't go either."
Qin Yeting's sudden strike was completely unexpected by everyone, and they could only quickly send someone back to report the situation.
After a considerable delay, the leader gave instructions that Qin Yeting could lead a group to assist.
The group then regrouped and continued their journey.
However, as the moon moves downwards, the temperature becomes hotter and the oxygen becomes thinner.
"Boss Qin, according to the latest detection, we have reached a depth of 500 meters underground, and are still 2,500 meters away from the target point," Shang Zexi reported firmly.
Qin Yeting remained expressionless and said sternly, "Keep going."
The group continued on their way.
Shang Zexi walked beside Qin Yeting. He didn't see Assistant Zhou and found it a bit strange. "Boss Qin, did you leave Assistant Zhou with your wife?"
“Xiaoyue’er is capable of protecting herself, but Assistant Zhou has more important things to do.”
“I understand. You’re playing a big game this time. I’ll just follow you and win without lifting a finger. I’ll do whatever you tell me to do, hehe—” Shang Zexi said with a grin.
But his eyes were unusually serious, revealing a firm and sharp look, as he followed Qin Yeting step by step.
Time flies, and seven days have passed.
Meanwhile, let's talk about Xia Yue.
She has produced the first batch of Linghou Pills, a total of three.
However, the Drug leader did not allow Moonlight to take the drug immediately, but instead found three test subjects.
One of them is mute, born unable to speak.
One was an elderly man in his eighties, whose voice had become hoarse.
There's another one whose voice was deliberately poisoned; his voice is like a rusty guitar string, making people feel uncomfortable as soon as he opens his mouth.
"Give your medicine to these three people first. Only if they find it effective can you give it to Miss Yuexia," the high priest said matter-of-factly, clearly not trusting Xia Yue's medical skills.
Xia Yue explained with a dark face, "I only made three pills this time. You can use two to test the medicine, and keep one for Yuexia. Otherwise, I will have to make them all from scratch, which will take several more days."
"No rush, Miss Moon's safety is the top priority," the High Priest replied slowly.
Xia Yue gritted her teeth in anger, "I'm worried, my son is still locked up by you!"
"Alright, we've been locked up for so long, a few more days won't make a difference," the high priest said slowly.
Xia Yue gritted her teeth in anger, "So it wasn't your son who was locked up."
"I have no sons, I've been single my whole life, and I'm living a carefree life," the high priest replied with a touch of pride.
Xia Yue clenched her fists. She vowed that when she found the chance, she would definitely poison this old bastard to death!
"Fine! Let's try the drug! Hurry up and try it!" Xia Yue said impatiently.
The three throat lozenges were given to the three individuals respectively.
The results were visible in less than an hour.
Originally, he could only make mute "ah ah" sounds, but after taking the throat-soothing pill, he was able to produce monotonous syllables.
Because he had never learned to speak, he couldn't express everything accurately, but from now on, he had the opportunity to speak.
