With the helicopter, it was actually more convenient for Lin Xiao Tian to return to the Lin family. Moreover, this was a military helicopter, and ordinary people would not dare to attack them.
On the helicopter, Lin Xiao Tian called the person the old lady had mentioned earlier.
First was Liang Xu. His daughter had gone missing, but Liang Xu hadn't proactively told Lin Xiao Tian. It was only after Lin Xiao Tian inquired that Liang Xu revealed it.
"Xiao Tian, you focus on your own matters. I'll figure out my daughter's situation myself."
Liang Xu didn't want Lin Xiao Tian to worry, but naturally, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't help but worry.
"Uncle Xu, just wait. After I finish dealing with the current matters, I will definitely help you find Nannan. This matter won't be left at that," Lin Xiao Tian said very seriously.
After this, Lin Xiao Tian also called Bai Xue.
After Bai Xue's mother went missing, her first thought was to call Lin Xiao Tian, but she was stopped by members of the Lin family. The Lin family had also used the same tactics against her as they had with the villagers of Jinsha Village. Afraid that her mother would be in danger, Bai Xue had not dared to tell Lin Xiao Tian about it.
When Lin Xiao Tian brought it up himself, Bai Xue burst into tears.
Lin Xiao Tian comforted Bai Xue, telling her to wait patiently and that he would resolve the matter.
As for Qin Yu Xiang's best friend, since she had already been kidnapped, Lin Xiao Tian couldn't contact her and could only wait for the Lin family to handle it.
Lin Xiao Tian knew very well that being anxious now was useless.
If he proactively contacted those who had been kidnapped, they would definitely demand that Lin Xiao Tian give up on making the antidote. They might even harm the hostages to force Lin Xiao Tian to compromise.
Lin Xiao Tian understood that if the Lin family's old lady was not saved, and after she died, these people would not let Zhang Xue Fen and the others go. However, if he saved the old lady, she might, out of gratitude, come forward to help rescue the hostages.
To prevent the other party from affecting Lin Xiao Tian, the Lin family had also tampered with Lin Xiao Tian's phone. Unknown numbers simply couldn't get through, and Lin Xiao Tian didn't have many numbers saved on his phone anyway, so the kidnappers couldn't contact Lin Xiao Tian for a while.
This was also one of the reasons why Lin Xiao Tian hadn't received any calls from the kidnappers all these days.
After Lin Xiao Tian finished making calls, he had already arrived at the Lin family.
Night deepened.
Lin Xiao Tian was alone in the room. For safety reasons, Lin Xiao Tian had, for the first time, asked Qin Yu Xiang to stay at the Qin family's residence and not dare to let her return.
Lin Xiao Tian feared failure and that the Lin family would then vent their anger on Qin Yu Xiang.
The fire in the alchemy furnace burned intensely, filling the entire room with a fragrant aroma.
Lin Xiao Tian prepared all the medicinal ingredients and only began refining the pills at the stroke of midnight.
While refining the pills, Lin Xiao Tian was also preparing other medicinal agents.
Curing the蛊 (gu) required more than just one type of medicine. Besides pills, medicinal agents were also needed. Lin Xiao Tian would then have to use golden needles to guide the蛊 (gu) out through acupuncture points. The entire process was extremely complicated. Lin Xiao Tian had no prior experience, but fortunately, he had prepared a large quantity of medicinal ingredients, and he still had a day.
The next morning, after a night of effort, Lin Xiao Tian finally had all the medicines prepared.
Led by the elder, Lin Xiao Tian returned to the previous pavilion.
Lin Xiao Tian pushed the door open and soon saw the Lin family's old lady.
The old lady appeared relatively normal, but the signs of poisoning were evident, such as her purplish lips. However, the terrifying aspect of the original蛊 (gu) was precisely this: it did not show obvious poisoning symptoms in the victim, but if it flared up, it would be fatal.
Furthermore, the old lady's actual physical condition was not as relaxed as it appeared. The original蛊 (gu) would paralyze the nerves, so the old lady did not feel pain.
However, under the examination of medical equipment, her body had already been eroded by the toxins!
There were also medical staff around the old lady. These were doctors specially hired by the Lin family to serve their own members. Each of them was an elite individual in their own right, but compared to external institutions, the Lin family offered more generous compensation. Moreover, if they wished to conduct academic research, the Lin family would spare no effort in supporting them.
At this moment, the medical staff were transfusing blood to the old lady. Due to the toxins, she required regular blood transfusions.
Lin Xiao Tian approached the old lady and took her pulse.
"I didn't expect it to have worsened so quickly?" Lin Xiao Tian frowned, and as he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the chief physician beside him.
A chief physician hurried over and said to Lin Xiao Tian, "Mr. Lin, we have done our best. However, the old lady has a rare Rh-negative blood type, and our stock is very limited. To maximally delay the spread of the toxins, we can only transfuse blood intermittently..."
"Don't you have more stock prepared?" Lin Xiao Tian looked at him.
Knowing that the Lin family's old lady had a rare Rh-negative blood type, as the Lin family's exclusive medical team, they shouldn't have made such a basic mistake.
"We do have stock, but ever since that birthday banquet, we noticed that the Rh-negative blood in our blood bank has inexplicably decreased by a lot..." The chief physician did not continue.
Lin Xiao Tian understood. It seemed that there was a traitor within the Lin family to deal with the old lady.
"I also have Rh-negative blood. Use mine then!" Lin Xiao Tian said.
"But, you are going to treat the old lady later. Will having a blood transfusion again affect the treatment?" the chief physician was concerned.
Although he was a Western medicine practitioner, he knew quite a bit about the technique of golden needle acupuncture. He knew that this method consumed a lot of energy. If Lin Xiao Tian had another blood transfusion, any negative impact at the end would only be counterproductive.
This was also why, all these days, even though they knew Lin Xiao Tian's blood type matched, they had not bothered him.
"It's fine, I'm not draining myself dry," Lin Xiao Tian said calmly, waving his hand.
Immediately after, Lin Xiao Tian asked the chief physician to step aside, and he began the treatment himself.
Lin Xiao Tian first performed golden needle acupuncture to stimulate the original蛊 (gu), preventing them from continuing to hide restlessly within the old lady's body.
Once the original蛊 (gu) were sufficiently activated, Lin Xiao Tian removed the golden needles, applied medicinal agents to them, and resumed acupuncture.
Lin Xiao Tian's movements were fluid and graceful, immediately capturing the attention of the medical staff present.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, golden needle acupuncture is considered the most mysterious technique.
There is a saying in medicine: mastering golden needle acupuncture signifies becoming a true TCM practitioner.
However, this technique is too difficult to learn. Even within the entire TCM community, only about ten people know this move, which is why TCM has not been able to develop. A significant reason why they study Western medicine is their inability to learn golden needle acupuncture.
