"Lin Tian, are you sure you’re not joking?" Miaoqiu asked.

Lin Tian replied irritably, "How could I be joking? Just tell me, do you have it or not?"

"We used to have it, but not anymore. But if you need a lower-grade antidote, we still have some," Miaoqiu said.

Lin Tian was a bit shocked, "Nevermind, who has it? I’ll go and ask directly."

"Do you think it’s still the heyday of martial arts? The formula for Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir has long been lost. I’ve only heard of it, never seen it. If people had it, who would fear the Tang Family?"

At this point, Miaoqiu seemed to remember something and said with a mischievous smile, "Perhaps now, besides the Alliance, only the Tang Family has it. But such rare objects are likely treated as family treasures, and they won’t easily give it to you."

Lin Tian’s expression relaxed. As long as it exists, that’s all that matters. He said nonchalantly, "Alright, I’ll go find the Tang Family for it. I won’t talk to you anymore; I’ve got other things to do, bye."

"Hey, don’t hang up yet. When are you planning to check on my dad’s illness?" Miaoqiu asked.

"Didn’t I already prescribe him several doses of medicine? How’s he doing with them?" Lin Tian countered.

"They’re okay, but not very effective."

"That’s normal," Lin Tian said. "Your dad’s body is weak right now. If you directly use Dragon Scale Powder and Phoenix Tail Feather, can he handle it? You know the old saying, ’Nourishment can’t be forced on the weak.’ Focus on building up his foundation first, then use the main medicine later, and it should work seamlessly."

Miaoqiu was suddenly overjoyed and exchanged a few more words with Lin Tian before hanging up.

Nanqiu looked at Lin Tian eagerly and asked in broken Celestial Dragon Continent language, "How did it go?"

Lin Tian smiled and said, "I’ll make another call."

"..."

"Hello, is this Tang Zong?" Lin Tian asked.

On the other end, Tang Zong chuckled and said, "Yes, it’s me. Tian, you sure have perfect timing; I just finished a meeting when you called."

"Yeah, I need to talk to you about something."

Tang Zong probed carefully, "Is it about the elixirs?"

"Yeah," Lin Tian nodded. Previously, he provided the Tang Family with some herbs and formulas, requiring them to yield fifty and thirty percent respectively; it’s time to collect.

"Well, your formulas were of great use to us, but as soon as we made the elixirs, they were consumed completely. You know, our family really lacks these things," Tang Zong said with some difficulty.

"What do you mean? Are you planning to renege?" Lin Tian raised his voice slightly.

"Not at all, our Tang Family would never do such a thing. It’s just... if we can delay a bit, at most a month."

Tang Zong gave a sheepish smile. This surprised his secretary with the devilish figure standing by; when had Tang always been so humble to others before? Who was this person anyway?

"Alright, alright, just extend it for a month," Lin Tian cleared his throat, moistened his voice and said, "Actually, I have another matter to discuss. Your Tang Family has the Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir, right?"

Tang Zong’s heart skipped a beat, and he cautiously said, "Only three pieces..."

"Haha, then that’s great." Lin Tian’s smile suddenly became much kinder, "How about lending me one?"

"Cough, cough, cough..." Tang Zong suddenly coughed violently on the other end and patiently said, "Those three pieces have been with us for two hundred years; they’re family heirloom treasures and can’t be loaned out. Besides, on this matter, what I say doesn’t count."

If the other party wasn’t holding so many lost formulas as a ’wealthy patron,’ Tang Zong would probably have started cursing.

Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir, famous in ancient martial families, can neutralize poisons, and some say with that pill, one need not fear the Tang Family.

However, not all poisons can be countered, like the severe poison that causes bleeding from seven orifices and separates three souls and seven spirits from the body; even the king can’t save you, let alone a pill. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Lin Tian secretly muttered to himself: "If it’s not a family heirloom treasure, I wouldn’t want it."

"That thing’s been in your family for over two hundred years without any use. Why not lend it to me?"

"It’s not just about lending; mainly, what I say doesn’t count here. Besides, such high-level elixirs... who lends them?"

Tang Zong thought Lin Tian was shameless, exceptionally shameless to the extreme.

If you want it, just say so. What do you mean by ’lend?’ Like you’d return it?

If Lin Tian didn’t return it, the Tang Family couldn’t do anything, they still have to rely on his formulas to ’survive.’

Lin Tian sneered, "Haha, it’s just a Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir, yet you call it a family heirloom treasure? Can your family have anything more ambitious?"

Tang Zong’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Just as he was about to retort, Lin Tian said, "I also have the formula for Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir, I can give it to you, but I’ll take a thirty percent cut, how about that?"

"What?!" Tang Zong exclaimed, not knowing whether from excitement or what, his face turned even redder. He said with a trembling voice, "Are you serious?"

"Of course, why would I lie to you?" Lin Tian asked with a smile.

Gulp...

Tang Zong swallowed a mouthful of saliva, so excited he didn’t know what to say.

This pill, which could detoxify other families, is a critical necessity for the Tang Family.

The Tang Family is renowned for its poisons, but beneath the glamorous surface lies a bloody reality; many talented hands have died in the poison-making process. Although the Tang Family members are naturally poison-resistant, the poisons they concoct are so lethal that they often risk their own lives.

If Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir could be mass-produced, it would complement their constitution, and their worries could be greatly reduced. The Tang Family could potentially rise to new heights beyond mere talk.

"Calm down first, can you lend the pill now?"

"Yes, yes, definitely!" Tang Zong said emphatically.

Lin Tian said jokingly, "Weren’t you just saying that you weren’t in control?"

"Hehe, it’s different now. Wait here, I’ll go talk to the Patriarch," Tang Zong was on the verge of hanging up when he remembered something and quickly said before the call ended, "Also, can we buy the formula outright, and you don’t sell it to other families and the Alliance?"

Lin Tian had anticipated such a request and unhurriedly asked, "Why?"

"It’s like this, the Clear Wind Evil Qi Elixir greatly restrains our Tang Family, causing many of our medicines to lose effectiveness."

At that point, the only usable poison would be the extremely toxic one that seals the throat upon contact with blood. But this poison has high production costs and is a crucial lethal weapon, which the Tang Family wouldn’t easily utilize.

The Tang Family without toxins would be like a tiger without claws, dramatically reducing their combat effectiveness, something the Tang Family wasn’t keen on seeing.
