Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 227 Problem Blood Potion

After Lin Lan saw Lingling's news, he immediately turned to look at Tang Yue beside him and said anxiously, "Lingling has an important clue. We have to go to West Lake quickly."

Tang Yue did not hesitate at all, a hint of anticipation flashed in her eyes, and the two of them hurried towards the West Lake.

The issue of the totem black snake has been resolved, and there has also been progress on the various issues concerning the plague.

As long as you wait until you resolve the plague and the white magic eagle, you will get a lot of reward packages.

By the way, rescue that young man.

Along the way, the city streets were in ruins, and people's terrified faces and figures running away in panic could be seen everywhere.

The plague had a huge impact, its severity was beyond imagination, and fear was spreading like a haze in everyone's heart. As the number of people infected with the plague increased day by day, the fear became heavier.

Relatively speaking, the situation on the West Lake side was slightly better. Along the way, although people were seen running around in panic, no one was infected with the plague.

This made Lin Lan secretly speculate that perhaps it was because the totem black snake, the ancestor of poison, lived here that this area was spared from disaster.

When Lin Lan and Tang Yue arrived at the West Lake, Lingling and Mo Fan were already waiting by the lake. Mo Fan was still the same, while Lingling was constantly looking for information.

Upon hearing Lin Lan's voice, Ling Ling immediately came over with a look of excitement, her eyes gleaming with excitement: "Sister Tang Yue, Lin Lan! We have found a clue about the source of the plague!"

"Tell me about it quickly." Lin Lan's tone was steady, but there was a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

It was not surprising to him that Lingling was able to find clues to the plague thanks to her intelligence and Mo Fan's efficiency.

Moreover, he also keenly noticed that Mo Fan's strength seemed to be about to break through to a high level, which was much faster than the progress in the original book.

Without using the Demonic Element, there would be no regression in cultivation, which was one of the reasons why Mo Fan was about to become a high-level mage.

The main reason is that there are a lot of resources...

"My sister's subordinates collected some information before, and then we conducted an in-depth investigation into the identities of the two rotting corpses that first appeared in the downtown area. At first, I didn't find anyone worthy of suspicion, but after a thorough analysis, I now think that there is one person who is extremely suspicious." Lingling's eyes were sharp, revealing a sense of shrewdness and determination.

"So, you suspect... that someone is secretly manipulating the outbreak of this plague?" Lin Lan grasped the key information from Lingling's words and had some guesses in his mind.

In fact, Lingling's suspicion was not groundless. Lin Lan knew clearly that the culprit was Luo Mian.

Lin Lan has prepared a big gift for Luo Mian...

The sister Lingling was referring to was Leng Qing, the eldest sister in the Qingtian Hunting House and the chief judge of the Lingyin Trial Council.

Leng Qing belongs to the faction that tends to protect totems. The place where the plague is most serious this time is Baizhen, and the totem black snake has been living in West Lake. If the totem black snake is really the source of the plague, then according to common sense, it should be the area around West Lake where a large number of people are first infected. Moreover, when the totem black snake appears, people will die immediately, which is very different from the onset time of those infected with the plague.

In this matter, the chief judge Li Tian and Leng Qing have been secretly investigating. Although they have obtained some clues, they have never been able to identify the real mastermind. However, after an in-depth investigation over this period of time, they have been able to determine that the outbreak of the plague was not accidental, but was caused by human beings.

The current investigation progress is much faster than the original. In Lin Lan's opinion, if nothing unexpected happens, Lingling and Mo Fan should take action to investigate the blood agent next... The truth, just like the dawn that gradually breaks, is revealed to everyone bit by bit.

"Go on, tell me where the problem lies specifically." Lin Lan asked.

Tang Yue, who was standing by, remained silent, but her clenched fists and slightly trembling body revealed her inner urgency and nervousness. Tang Yue was particularly excited at the moment, because once it could be proved that the Totem Black Snake was not the source of the plague, then the Totem Black Snake could return to West Lake with a legitimate reason.

What if Zhu Mengyin plots against me when I return to West Lake?
What Lin Lan said is entirely possible...

Lin Lan told her that one should not be too naive and should not trust others easily. It is best to be skeptical about what others say.

She also didn't expect that Lin Lan was so mature at such a young age.

But it’s good this way, I won’t be easily deceived…

"About two months ago, my sister asked me to investigate a batch of government blood medicines. These blood medicines are mainly supplied to the major post stations, military defense lines and fortresses in ZJ Province. As you all know, countless people are injured in the fight against demons every year, and one-fifth of the hunters' income is used to buy blood medicines to prevent them from losing their lives due to excessive blood loss while hunting outside. Post stations, defense lines, and fortresses also have a huge demand for blood medicines... So, I speculate that the problem may be with the blood medicine supply in Hangzhou City, or there may be problems with these blood medicines themselves." Lingling said as she skillfully opened a mini computer, gently placed it on her fair legs, and continued to explain.

Blood potion, as a very common but expensive medicine, its main function is to transport blood. Due to the scarcity of healing mages, not everyone is lucky enough to receive their treatment.

In this case, the potions carefully developed by the healing mages are particularly important, and blood potions are the most consumed by mages. After taking blood potions, the hematopoietic function of mages will be enhanced dozens of times in a short period of time. Many obvious injuries can be healed in a short time as long as they take blood potions and simply bandage the wounds, as long as there is no infection.

Blood potions are expensive, so mages fighting outside have to spend part of their income on them, and blood potion suppliers make a lot of money from this...

"What's wrong with the blood medicine?" Tang Yue couldn't help but ask.

"Blood medicine is made by refining the alien blood of demons. The entire refining process is under strict supervision. After production, it has to go through several testing procedures before it is distributed to major supply stations. It is either supplied to the military, sold to magic hunters, or bought by businessmen who make a profit from the price difference... My sister found out that someone replaced the orthodox alien blood with other things and put them into the production of blood medicine, thus producing a batch of problematic blood medicine." Lingling explained in detail.

"Is it actually a black-hearted businessman who is causing trouble?" Tang Yue said in surprise.

"The production and supply of blood potion has always been controlled by the Magic Association, and the government also holds a portion of the share. If it were just a problem for merchants, it would be easier to solve." Lingling frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her tone.

"Oh?" Tang Yue raised her eyebrows. She had already guessed something in her mind. It seemed that there were "worms" inside the Magic Association and the government!
The production of blood potion depends on the strange blood of demons, and the problem lies precisely in the source of the strange blood. Even the sudden arrival of the White Demon Eagle in Hangzhou seems to be related to this strange blood... However, Lin Lan did not speak out these thoughts.

He believed that with Lingling's intelligence, she would be able to make a bold guess from these clues: someone must have tampered with the blood drug for personal gain. Either it was tampered with during transportation, or there was a problem with the blood drug itself during production.

"Oh, by the way, Lingling, how are you guys investigating the antidote for this plague?" Lin Lan asked. If Lingling and the others had no clues, Lin Lan planned to provide some key clues in due course...

"We have been working hard to find the antidote, but we have not been able to find the time to investigate, so there has been no substantial progress." Mo Fan answered first, with a hint of helplessness on his face.

He was really frustrated. He couldn't speak and had no chance to express himself.

Seeing his high school teacher again, Mo Fan naturally wanted to show off his growth and leave a good impression in front of the teacher...

As a boy, it is normal to have such thoughts.

When Mo Fan first met Tang Yue, he was a little dazed and confused. He had no idea when Lin Lan and Teacher Tang Yue became so close.

Also, Tang Yue's appearance here means that Tang Yue's identity must be extraordinary...

Is there a hidden rich woman or something?
