At that time, Wolf Fang did not have many special crystals in total. Research required a certain quantity, after all; in the early stages, large amounts of materials usually ended up scrapped after failed attempts.
The antidote was even more so merely a hypothesis proposed by Chu Han. Whether it would work and how to make it a reality stumped every member of the research department.
Not to mention that they were simultaneously researching the Rank Advancement Potion and the New Human Awakening Agent. Compared with the unfounded talk of an antidote, those two medicines were easier to develop, because Chu Han had not only provided hypotheses, but also listed the initial formulas.
Once they knew the direction for the first step, all that remained was deduction and experimentation, step by step. Thus, the invention and emergence of those two medicines had proceeded as expected.
But the antidote alone—forget a formula, Chu Han did not even have an initial concept. He had provided only one raw material: special crystals.
As for what else was needed, nobody knew!
This was practically an unsolvable project, yet Yuan Xiye still carved out time every day to research the antidote independently amid the urgent development of the other two medicines. In fact, aside from her, the other members of the research department did not even know where to begin if they wanted to help.
Thus, the project was concealed. Chu Han never brought it up again, much less asked about its progress.
The others gradually set the matter aside as well, categorizing it as an impossible goal.
But three months ago, before the Wolf Fang Regiment deployed to the boundary line and the great battle between the northern and southern alliance armies was about to begin, Chu Han received a message from his mother,
