However, Sun Bo still provided his own insight: the names of medicines from the past differ slightly from those of today. Analyzing purely on the basis of pharmacology, many herbs are quite similar to those now.

As for those too rare, practically like myth and legend, Sun Bo himself couldn't explain.

Not getting the answers he wanted, Xiao Tian naturally felt a bit disappointed, but he didn't know that Sun Bo's ancient texts would later exert unimaginable influence!

But that's a story for later!

...

Putting down the ancient texts, Xiao Tian thought of the unjustly imprisoned Zong Jian, wondering how the old man was doing now.

"Can you completely mimic a person's genes into another's? Can you do it?" Xiao Tian asked Ghost Face beside him.

Upon hearing Xiao Tian's question, Lin Bingxuan and Melinda also gathered around, obviously very interested, having heard a bit about Zong Jian.

"What do you want to do?" Ghost Face, surprised by Xiao Tian's question, looked at him strangely, puzzled by the query.

Seeing Ghost Face's bewildered expression, Xiao Tian explained the situation regarding Zong Jian to him, awaiting his response.

Ghost Face furrowed his brow and only spoke after a while: "If it's simply altering a person's genes, then I can do it. The pills I gave you theoretically have this effect, making some adjustments after unlocking the Genetic Lock is not difficult."

Xiao Tian nodded slowly; it seemed his initial inference was not wrong!

"However, according to your situation just described, I'm afraid I'll be powerless!"

Ghost Face's tone shifted: "First is the timing issue; although alterations can be made after unlocking the Genetic Lock, there are strict time limits. Once the time is up, it'll automatically revert!"

"Moreover, if you say two DNA test results are identical, just think whether you could do it even if given enough pills to unlock the Genetic Lock?"

Ghost Face seemed to realize he had spoken too definitively, then added: "Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this Zhou Huchen might have some other method, but at least among myself and people I know, no one can do what you described!"

Xiao Tian couldn't help but furrow his brows, realizing he had thought too highly of Ghost Face. However, this couldn't be blamed on him, as it was all his own wishful thinking from the beginning.

Now, receiving such a response from the other party, he could only comfort himself that it was a lesson learned!

"Pardon my bluntness!" After hesitating for a long while, Ghost Face finally said: "Could this Zhou Huchen be Zong Jian's son?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Tian and the others looked at each other, all speechless and not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, the sound of an explosion caught everyone's attention, and from the direction of the sound, it seemed to come from Sun Bo's house.

The people present looked at each other, all showing expressions of complete bewilderment, but nevertheless stopped their actions and quickly began to run towards Sun Bo's house.

Indeed, not far from Sun Bo's house, a group of foreigners had gathered together, appearing incredibly arrogant.

In sight, a foreign man with a small braid on top of his head softly said something to an Asian man who had lost a hand beside him.

Following the crowd, Sun Bo instantly recognized them as the very foreigners who had robbed him that day—Andrew and Bao Hongfei.

Bao Hongfei stepped forward and shouted into a loudspeaker: "Everyone listen up, gather here with me, or we'll raze your village."

Upon hearing such arrogant words, some hot-tempered individuals couldn't hold back, snatching up a snow shovel from the roadside, ready to confront them, followed closely by others rushing forward.

However, they stopped their forward charge after just a few steps, as the other side brandished their weapons.

Looking at the extremely dangerous-looking barrels of those guns, everyone felt a palpable sense of dread.

A handgun and a shovel, they're completely different levels, aren't they?!

Seeing the strong and sturdy individuals on their side, while theirs were old, weak, and sickly, it was difficult to muster any desire for confrontation.

"What are you trying to do?" Old Wei's dark face turned red with anger, feeling utterly stifled.

"Someone in your village stole from us. I want everyone to come over, giving you three minutes." Bao Hongfei raised the gun in his hand and coldly said, "We're only targeting that person, so don't act recklessly!"

At this point, everyone understood who they were looking for, and precisely because of this, it made them more furious. What do you call crying thief to catch a thief? This is a living example, isn't it?!

At this moment, Sun Bo sighed and intended to step forward himself, not wanting to implicate these old brothers and sisters.

Seeing Sun Bo's figure, Andrew and Bao Hongfei were immediately overjoyed; now that they found him, everything would be easier!

"Old man, finally let me find you!" Bao Hongfei pointed his gun at Sun Bo, making the latter feel a surge of fear.

Just as he intended to step forward, the surrounding people tightly protected him, halting his advance.

"Old Sun, are you crazy?" Old Wei, holding a sharp shovel, said to Sun Bo behind him: "Do you think stepping forward would help? They're clearly plotting for the herbs we possess!"

"Oh? It seems your village really does have quite a few herbs!"

Andrew responded as if expected: "Hand over the old man and those four outsiders, and return our herbs, and I can spare you."

Upon hearing this, everyone exposed expressions of disbelief, and Old Wei immediately intended to turn back: "I'd rather destroy all the herbs than give them to you foreign bandits!"

With a soft sound, sparks flew from Old Wei's shovel, emitting a crisp clang.

Old Wei's shovel was instantly knocked out of his hand, with a dent appearing on the shovel head, causing everyone to instinctively step back, their fear heightened.

Andrew, showing a movie villain's demeanor, blew the gun barrel, and grumbled: "You better behave and don't move. The gun in my hand doesn't recognize you!"

It was then that Andrew finally saw Xiao Tian and the others, and when he saw Melinda reaching her slender arm towards her waist, Andrew hurriedly aimed his gun at her: "Don't move, I know you have some skills, but this time…"

"This time, you don't want your other hand either?" Xiao Tian sneered, a light remark that made Andrew and Bao Hongfei both tremble as if struck by lightning!

The two glared at Xiao Tian resentfully, yet feared he might suddenly act violently, thus aimed their guns at the village elders, saying through gritted teeth: "To tell you the truth, this time Isaac will come personally; your end is near!"
