"It's all your fault!"
"I should never have trusted you!"
"Now look, they're gone, who are we going to find?"
Yang Xin couldn't help but hit Yang Lin on the head.
"Ouch! At a time like this, you're still blaming me, what's the use? Does it solve the problem? Who knew this guy was so ruthless?" Yang Lin looked at Yang Xin aggrievedly.
"But, is he still testing us?" Yang Lin whispered.
"Testing? What else is there to test? Is he going to stay here overnight with us? He must have left!" Yang Xin glared at him.
"Then... then maybe he went back, and will come back again?" Yang Lin stubbornly insisted.
"This forest is so big, do you think he can find us again? You tell me yourself, do you remember the path we took?"
"Do you remember where we cut branches yesterday? New shoots have already grown today, and even the marks we made have been completely covered. How do you expect him to find us?"
Yang Xin put her hands on her hips, her face full of anger.
Yang Lin was speechless.
At this moment, he was no longer stubborn.
But what was the use now?
Lin Xiao Tian would never come again.
And all that awaited them was death!
Thinking that they were so young, hadn't even gotten married yet, and were about to die in this wilderness, the siblings were completely desperate.
"Yang Xin, you say we weren't born at the exact same time, but we were born in the same year, same month, and same day. Now we can die in the same year, same month, and same day, right?" Yang Lin made a very dark joke.
But Yang Xin clearly didn't laugh.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely die before you."
"Why? You have such foresight? Just because you were born a few minutes before me?"
"No! I'll definitely be angered to death by you first!"
Yang Lin could only awkwardly shut his mouth.
On the other side, with the medicinal ingredients provided by Fang Wen Hua, Lin Xiao Tian had more opportunities to experiment.
But he had to admit, the refining difficulty of this near T0 level pill was immense.
Lin Xiao Tian finally succeeded in refining a pill, only to find that it still had flaws.
The Longevity Pill could only be taken once every ten years. The next time it could be taken was ten years later. No matter how many times it was taken in between, the effect would not stack.
If the Longevity Pill Lin Xiao Tian gave had flaws, it might only extend life by one or two years, but it would affect the next ten years.
Because, even a flawed Longevity Pill would render a normal Longevity Pill ineffective, and this effect would also last for ten years!
However, at least he had succeeded in refining a pill, which meant he was not far from success.
With this thought, Lin Xiao Tian prepared to try again.
However, as soon as he was about to put in the medicinal ingredients, he found that some were missing.
Lin Xiao Tian took a rough look. The missing ingredients were mainly those found on Black Mountain.
"Looks like I have to go into the mountains again," Lin Xiao Tian sighed.
During this time, Fang Wen Hua came to urge him for the Solid Yuan Pill, and Guo Zheng An came for the beauty cream. But Lin Xiao Tian said that it would have to be postponed, as he had to prepare well for the Longevity Pill.
Fang Wen Hua understood, but the company faced pressure.
"Mr. Fang, we have contracts with several other CEOs. If we don't deliver the Solid Yuan Pills, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to them," said the head of the marketing department with worry.
"Then pay them the liquidated damages and apologize. You figure out how to explain this yourselves," Fang Wen Hua said helplessly.
But the matter of the Longevity Pill was clearly more important now, and he didn't want Lin Xiao Tian to be disturbed.
"Then the liquidated damages?"
"Pay them whatever is due."
"Understood, Mr. Fang!"
The marketing department head received the order and left the office.
A moment later, the market department also issued an announcement, stating that due to force majeure, the Solid Yuan Pills could not be supplied for the time being!
"What? Cannot supply?"
Some people became restless.
Marketing accounts began to launch widespread accusations, and even some organized groups maliciously slandered, saying that Fang's pharmaceutical company had financial problems, leading to the inability to supply Solid Yuan Pills normally. There were even announcements online about a certain department investigating Fang's pharmaceutical company.
Although Fang's parent company immediately issued a denial, no one believed it. The consequence of this was that the stock of Fang's pharmaceutical company directly plummeted that day.
But as the stock fell, the price of the Solid Yuan Pill skyrocketed in the opposite direction.
In just a few hours, the market price had nearly tenfold!
The black market price even reached fifteen times!
In comparison, Guo Zheng An's situation was much better.
Guo Zheng An had not signed so many contracts in advance, and he had always kept a small inventory.
When Lin Xiao Tian could not supply, Guo Zheng An took the opportunity to boost his image. He first announced that he would supply less this time, but guaranteed that the price would remain the same as the previous batch.
Although there was speculation in the market, the impact on Guo Zheng An was not significant. His stock only fluctuated, but his downstream buyers all demanded that he increase the price, which Guo Zheng An refused.
Lin Xiao Tian was unaware of the great stir his small action had caused. At this moment, he was still contemplating the Longevity Pill.
"Heat?"
"Technique?"
"The timing of adding ingredients also needs to be controlled, otherwise, it will always be flawed!"
Lin Xiao Tian began to review his process repeatedly.
Seeing Lin Xiao Tian so focused, Qin Yu Xiang thoughtfully poured him a cup of tea.
Thus, another day passed.
In the evening, Lin Xiao Tian embraced Qin Yu Xiang and fell into a deep sleep.
The two female bodyguards, Fang Ying and Fang Yan, stayed in the adjacent room, which was Lin Xiao Tian's former bedroom. Liang Xu had a separate room prepared for him.
With air conditioning, everyone slept very well at night.
But some were happy, and some were not.
At this moment, the siblings looked at the wolf pack in front of them, their souls almost gone.
"I didn't expect we'd be eaten before we starved to death," Yang Xin said, looking at the baring wolves, her heart filled with extreme fear.
"It's... it's okay, we have fire, they won't dare to come over. As long as we keep adding fire, they'll leave eventually," Yang Lin said, swallowing hard.
"But the lighter won't last forever, right? And our food isn't enough. Look at these beasts, they're not in a hurry at all, just wearing us down here."
"Damn it, if only we had a gun now!"
"Even with a gun, it wouldn't be enough! This is a wolf pack, how many wolves are there?"
The siblings looked at each other. They had never experienced such despair since they were born.
"Yang Lin, I miss mom, dad, and grandpa. Do you think we'll ever see them again?"
"I... I don't know! I miss them too. If I had known, I wouldn't have come to this godforsaken place, even if you beat me to death."
The siblings looked at each other and burst into tears.
As if to match their mood, the wolves on the periphery howled in unison.
However, one was the sound of waiting for death, and the other was the sound of dinner.
