The Ares-class interceptor set off for Hek. Now that he had obtained the six-winged skylords venom, all that was left was to concoct the venom into a medicine.
Phantom was only a shadow at the moment. Though he could figure out the formula for the medicine, Xia Fei still had to do the actual work.
Xia Fei locked himself in the bathroom, taking advantage of the eight-hour flight to purify the venom first, saving time for the next step of concocting the complete medicine. Old man Qin Mangs life was in danger, so every second was precious.
A row of transparent glass bottles was neatly arranged, and inside them was a pitch-black liquid that looked a bit like unrefined petroleum. The solution was thick and gave off a foul stench.
Xia Fei carefully poured the venom into the medicine purifier with his air filter mask. The venom was already extremely toxic, and there was no telling how terrifying it would be after further purification.
In order to suppress the poison that was already in Qin Mangs body, Xia Fei had no choice but to use a more potent venom, and the purified six-winged skylords venom undoubtedly met this requirement.
The black liquid went through the purifier once, removing the impurities and water. Not only was the resulting liquid even thicker, it was also glowing like a black gemstone.
Xia Fei had attempted to purify medicinal ingredients countless times before, but this was the first time he was trying to purify something so toxic. Fortunately, his technique came from Phantom's true inheritance, so it was extremely ingenious. Coupled with his experience and perfect grasp of timing, the purification process was rather smooth.
A few moments later, a small round jar appeared in Xia Fei's spatial ring, and inside the jar was an even smaller container, which was divided into two layers and held the extremely toxic venom inside. This venom was very potent, and the consequences would be dire if it leaked out, so Xia Fei had to be very careful with every step.
The medicine purifier could no longer be used, so Xia Fei wrapped it tightly in a waterproof cloth and carefully placed it to the side. He then used water and disinfectant to carefully clean the bathroom several times. The foul stench of the venom and the sour smell of the disinfectant mixed together, making the air extremely foul. Even though the air filter was working at full capacity, it still took Xia Fei more than an hour to get rid of the stench and the residue on the floor.
Opening the door and leaving the room, Xia Fei took off his air filter mask and lit a cigarette, sitting on a chair and massaging his temples.
He took out three Snake Eye Berries from his storage ring, put them in his mouth, and slowly swallowed them. A cooling sensation spread through his internal organs.
Xia Fei had already suffered some internal injuries during the battle, not because of the six-winged skylords attacks but rather the side effects of forcefully using Demon Axe. Now that he had inhaled a little of the six-winged skylords poisonous gas while he was in the drug refinery, Xia Fei could only feel his head swelling and his mind becoming somewhat dazed.
Xia Fei quickly fell into a deep sleep, hoping to quickly recover his stamina. After all, he needed to immediately start the concoction of the medicine once he returned to Hek, so he needed to be highly focused. He could not afford to make the slightest mistake.
Not long after he closed his eyes, some inexplicable changes gradually occurred. Countless silver threads extended from Xia Fei's seventh brain region, connecting all his organs and blood vessels together.
Some of the black toxins were slowly gathering in the seventh brain region along these indiscernible threads. Unknowingly, the seventh brain region had actually taken the initiative to detoxify Xia Fei?
Phantom silently watched all of this, secretly recording it in his mind. He smiled as he returned to his own little world, as if he was already used to this strange phenomenon.
The effects of the seventh brain region were swift. Very soon, all the toxins in Xia Fei's body were completely absorbed, and his seventh brain region seemed to be a little wider than before.
In truth, Xia Fei's seventh brain region was indeed fuller than before he entered Heritage Planet, as if it was growing on its own. It was truly a strange phenomenon. Heritage Planet had not only given Xia Fei a new special ability, but something unknown was also quietly changing in Xia Fei's body.
The Ares-class interceptor landed on Hek, and Xia Fei jumped out of bed, exiting the ship in high spirits.
A short two hours of sleep had filled him with energy, and even the abnormalities in his body had disappeared.
The third son of the Ling family, Ling Feng, was waiting for Xia Fei in the spaceport. Seeing Xia Fei disembark from the warship, Ling Feng hurriedly went up to him.
Eldest brother and second brother are accompanying Thurams in the hospital, so Ive come alone, Ling Feng said.
Third brother, have you done what I asked of you? Xia Fei anxiously asked.
Yup. Ling Feng nodded heavily. "According to your instructions, we found a fully-enclosed laboratory in a chemical factory not far from the hospital. It's fully equipped with all kinds of facilities. With a single transfer order, Lord Thuram temporarily requisitioned the factory and assigned twenty capable guards to guard the surroundings."
Very good. How is old man Qin Mangs doing?
Ling Feng furrowed his eyebrows. The old man didnt seem to be doing well today. He fainted a few hours ago, and when he woke up, he said a few names, including you, brother Xia.
Xia Fei did not say a word as he got into the hovercar that had been waiting for him. He said in a deep voice, Lets not delay any longer.
On Earth, the chemical industry was synonymous with pollution. Every chemical factory was surrounded by a strange smell, making it impossible for plants to survive. Even the rivers were no longer suitable for fish and prawns to swim in.
However, in the highly developed Pan-Human Alliance, chemical factories were no longer associated with pollution. All the work was done by machinery, and the sealed factory would not let any gas escape.
The car stopped in front of a white laboratory building in the chemical factory. Two men wearing Adjudicator uniforms were standing at the door. They opened the car door with serious expressions and welcomed Xia Fei and Ling Feng out.
The door slowly opened. Entering the laboratory required three layers of defense. The first layer was to change into a fully enclosed lab suit, the second layer was to be sterilized, and the third layer was the truly contaminated area.
Xia Fei nodded at Ling Feng and entered the first layer alone. He put on the heavy protective suit while Ling Feng and the others stood guard at the door.
Alright, open the second layer, Xia Fei said through the communication system in the protective suit.
The person guarding the command deck pressed a button to open a completely sealed room, and Xia Fei strode in.
* Pa! *
The sealed door slowly closed, and the white light suddenly turned into a purplish-red disinfectant. Countless sprinklers on the ceiling sprayed out special disinfectant, as if it was a rainstorm from the sky.
Following that was a series of complicated procedures such as air sterilization, monitoring the disinfectant effect, and so on. After a full five minutes, Xia Fei was finally able to enter the last layer of the laboratory, the contaminated area.
The venom of a six-winged skylord was extremely violent, and concocting a medicine was different from purifying it. Any carelessness could cause the venom to splatter, so they had no choice but to handle it carefully in a specialized laboratory like this.
Sweeping a glance at the dazzling array of equipment in the laboratory, Ling Feng had already ordered someone to place all the materials needed for concocting the medicine on a long alloy table, making it easy to see.
Skillfully opening a molecular filter, Xia Fei began to work methodically, his hands flying.
Outside the laboratory, Ling Feng received a call from Thuram.
"What is Xia Fei doing?"
Ling Feng glanced at Xia Fei's actions on the video system. Sir, he seems to be concocting some medicine.
Actually, Thuram had already guessed that Xia Fei was trying to concoct a medicine the moment he learned of Xia Fei's request, but he could not help but be a little worried after hunting a six-winged skylord and extracting its venom. What exactly was the use of a medicine that required the venom of a six-winged skylord? Thuram could not be sure at all.
He had called the pharmaceutical experts at the headquarters, but even these renowned experts could not believe that there would be a medicine that required the venom of a six-winged skylord, which was why Thuram had sent Ling Feng to observe Xia Fei's actions.
The video signal was sent to Thuram's microcomputer. Xia Fei was calm and composed on the screen, his every move very methodical, showing that he had a decent cultivation in the field of medicine concocting.
Thuram did not know how to concoct medicine, but he was very knowledgeable and could tell that Xia Fei's concocting technique was undoubtedly very adept, and he was definitely not a novice. Furthermore, his technique was very ingenious, as if every step needed to be timed precisely, and even the speed at which the medicine entered the container was strictly controlled.
Xia Fei knows how to concoct medicine? Thuram muttered to himself.
After a moment of silence, Thuram instructed Ling Feng, Stand guard there for now. Dont disturb Xia Fei unless there's something important.
Yes, Ling Feng respectfully replied.
Xia Fei was sweating profusely as he busied himself in the laboratory. Though he was anxious, every move he made was still carried out in an orderly manner. This was a highly toxic medicine, and the slightest mistake would result in unpredictable consequences.
Phantom had been nervously staring at Xia Feis from the side, and as the various colored medicinal liquids gradually converged, his expression gradually relaxed a little.
This medicine was something Phantom had deduced out of thin air. As for how effective it was, it had yet to be tested, so Phantom had no idea, either. That was why he was more or less worried.
Finally, the seventeen medicines were completely mixed together, resulting in an unexpected change.
The medicine concoction machine was operating at an extremely slow speed, slowly shaking the medicine evenly.
Many tiny bubbles gradually rose from the brown liquid, a sign that the medicinal properties were being completely reversed.
Xia Fei stared at that round jar that was constantly spinning. When there were no more bubbles, Xia Fei lightly pressed a button on the machine, and the concoction machine slowly came to a stop.
Holding the transparent jar in his hand, Xia Fei sealed it tightly in layers before quickly leaving the laboratory.
Ling Feng, who had been waiting outside, saw Xia Fei come out and hurriedly took two steps forward. Brother Xia Fei, did you succeed?
Yup. Xia Fei nodded firmly, his expression not at all relaxed. After all, this medicine had yet to be tested, so there was no way to predict its effects.
Brother, what exactly did you concoct? Ling Feng could not help but ask curiously.
Xia Fei waved his hand. Lets talk about that later. Send me to the hospital right now.
