"Yes, Father, I've arranged for people to sign agreements with townships, villages, and brigades in various regions. This will make things much safer."
Yi Yang was obviously very knowledgeable about these things. Before Lin Yao first came to Yanji, the entire Yi family relied on planting and trading medicinal herbs to maintain their economic lifeline. As the head of the family, he was naturally familiar with all matters.
"You guys handle it. I'll give you a list of medicinal herbs that need to be planted later." Lin Yao admired the Yi family's way of doing things. "By the way, try to make the planting areas more dense, not scattered here and there. It's not easy to manage that way. I will inspect each base every year. If it's too scattered, it will waste time."
"Yes," Yi Yang answered firmly.
"Elder, this is the 'Yearly Pill,' which can save lives in critical moments. It is the most precious pill we have ever made."
Lin Yao handed the small jade bottle to Elder Yi Potian, saying, "There is only one pill in here. If an ordinary person takes it, they can live at least thirty years longer. If a martial artist takes it when seriously injured, it can save their life. This is countless times more effective than the 'Heaven-Mending Pill' and the 'Life-Sustaining Pill' in prolonging life."
Lin Yao deliberately opened the bottle cap and handed the jade bottle and the cap to Elder Yi Potian with both hands.
An indescribable fragrance filled the room, captivating the First Elder, Yi Yang, and the seven or eight elders who had been sitting silently.
"Give."
Lin Yao's words startled Elder Yi Potian, who hurriedly took the jade bottle and cap with an unusual fluster for a master of the Heavenly Realm, and immediately put the cap back on, as if he was worried that if he was a second late, the effect of the pill would dissipate.
"Yi Yang, bring me that bat. I'm going back to Chengdu tomorrow."
"Sir, that bat..."
Yi Yang accepted the order and left, while the First Elder, Yi Potian, looked at Lin Yao with a hesitant gaze.
"Yes, it's a vampire. I captured it in Luoyang. I'll take it back and study it carefully. This bat has a kind of toxin in its body. Maybe if we can figure it out, it will be beneficial to everyone." Lin Yao replied with a smile, and what he saw were Yi Potian and the elders, all of whom were gaping in astonishment.
"What's the matter?"
“Sir, I can capture vampires alive, but I can’t prevent them from transforming back into human form after being captured, so I’m very surprised at how you did it.” Yi Potian explained the reason for everyone’s surprise.
"Oh, I see. Hehe." Lin Yao smiled. "Didn't I say that bats have toxins in their bodies? I used medicine to control it, so maybe that's why it can't turn back into a human. It's much more convenient to move around with a bat. It's troublesome and awkward for me to carry around a foreigner who weighs over 100 pounds."
The First Elder, Yi Potian, was speechless. Such a difficult matter was made as simple as drinking plain water by Lin Yao.
"No wonder the elders of the Pei and Sun families specifically asked me yesterday if I had made a move in Luoyang. They knew that a master was helping them and suspected it was me, but they didn't expect it was you, sir, in Luoyang."
"I just happened to be there and helped out casually. I also got a benefit in return, as I caught a bat that I can study," Lin Yao said with a smile. "By the way, I won't give back the three million euros. Consider it a fee for my help."
"Furthermore, this batch of pills, including the 'Life-Giving Pill,' cannot be used as gifts to grease palms. Even if they are to be given to the Pei and Sun families, this point should be emphasized. I don't want this batch of pills to end up in society."
"Of course not, we would never do such a thing, sir, please rest assured." Elder Yi Potian puffed out his chest and made a promise.
"Of course I trust you, but I'm worried that if I give them to the Pei family, the Sun family, or other prominent families, they might use them to give away as gifts."
Lin Yao smiled and didn't continue the topic; many things only need to be mentioned briefly.
"Sir, that person in Luoyang made some unfavorable remarks about Minhong. Should we go and deal with him?" Yi Potian took the initiative to take on the task of dealing with Huang Yiren of "Luoshen Pharmaceutical".
"No need, it's inconvenient for you to intervene. The Yi family has only just been revived, so don't break the law. I'll handle these things myself." Lin Yao declined, but appreciated the offer.
"Sir, you've arrived."
Yi Yang carried a 15-centimeter square silver cage into the room. Inside the cage was a large bat that looked like a medium-sized mouse.
"Sir, we won't bother you any longer. If you have any instructions, just let Yi Yang handle them." Elder Yi Potian immediately took his leave.
Studying bats would benefit the Yi family; such matters must not be disturbed!
If every member of the Yi family can fly in the future...
As the elder Yi Potian walked out the door, he shook his head. While he was excited, he felt a chill in his heart. The thought of turning into a bat made him uncomfortable. He would rather that the Yi family members could not fly, and that they could all reach the Heavenly Realm and fly in a human way.
"Yaoyao, I know why 'Baiyundan' is effective against stinky bats!" Xiaocao suddenly exclaimed happily.
"Why?" Lin Yao was a good listener and knew when to cooperate, a skill that a straight man should possess.
"The toxins in this bat's body are somewhat like what you call viruses and bacteria; they can multiply and proliferate. When a bat is injured, these toxins can heal the damage by reducing their numbers, much like how vampires, as mentioned online, rely on blood to survive and heal."
"It's easier to understand and analyze what happens to bats if we think of this toxin as a kind of bacteria. By injecting blood containing the toxin into ordinary people's bodies, the toxin multiplies and proliferates in the ordinary people's bodies, turning them into vampires as well. This is the vampire's 'Embrace'."
"However, this toxin is very difficult to form, so the strength of the vampire who is embraced by others will also be affected. The vampire's extremely strong recovery ability also comes from this toxin, but the amount of toxin consumed for healing is very small, so it seems that the vampire is like an unkillable cockroach."
"So amazing?" Lin Yao was truly astonished; he hadn't expected such a miraculous toxin to exist in the world.
"Yes, it's as if these toxins are living things. I have a vague impression of them, but I can't quite put my finger on what they are." Little Grass started to struggle again. Whenever she couldn't recall something that might be very important, she would struggle.
"Hmm, I've heard that vampires store their essence in their hearts. Is that true for bats?" Lin Yao quickly changed the subject, not wanting Xiaocao to be sad.
“Yes, that’s it. So the toxin seems to be alive,” Xiaocao said with certainty. “Bats have blood in their bodies, but what really works are these toxins, toxins hidden in the blood. Moreover, these toxins can travel around and can even accumulate completely in the heart area, leaving the blood in other parts of the body completely free of toxins, just like ordinary blood.”
"I see. No wonder the books always say that the blood essence of vampires is very precious. In fact, what's precious is these toxins."
Lin Yao suddenly realized that some of his previous questions had been answered.
When I first watched the movies and read the novels, I always thought that it didn't matter if vampires were beaten and their blood was splattered everywhere, but they were reluctant to give their offspring even a little bit of blood during the Embrace. It turns out that the real reason is that the nature and value of the two kinds of blood are completely different.
"Alright, knock it out. Don't let it spy on our training."
Lin Yao knew that Xiao Cao's experiment was complete, and only then could he use various methods to stimulate the toxins in the bat's body to see if it could be allowed to grow.
Finally, they were eliminated. It was so easy. "White Cloud Pill" was a great solution. This cheap pill was just as effective as an anti-inflammatory drug in killing bacteria when it came to the "essence blood" in vampires. It was very easy to solve the problem.
The bat fainted, and Lin Yao took out the alchemy furnace he carried with him from his travel bag. He began to circulate his energy and print incantations. Xiao Cao quickly peeled the cactus and aloe vera leaves and put them into the alchemy furnace so that Lin Yao could imbue them with witch power. Then, she collected them into two large iron buckets. The efficiency was extremely high.
After a whole night, Lin Yao finally managed to attach all the leaf pulp for five thousand people with free-floating witch power. He was exhausted, as the amount of witch power he needed to attach this time was many times greater than what Yi Fei's 38th Army Infantry Division required. After completing all the work, Lin Yao didn't even have a trace of medical true energy left and could only continue meditating to recover.
