"Your dad left after his medical checkup without even looking at the report, and his monitor was locked. Committee Member Zhou asked me to send you a copy of the video data!"

There were some issues with Zuo Quan's test report. Out of a sense of responsibility, Zhou Yueyan still made contact and eventually sent the relevant offline data to Zuo Teng through Zhang Xuezhou.

Is that herb really usable in medicine?

Should we wear light-blocking gear when we go for the checkup?

"You want to take a piece to study?"

"So you weren't confident you could use it to make medicine!"

After finishing some miscellaneous tasks, it was time for Zhang Xuezhou to ask for the samples.

As usual, Zhou Yueyan asked a few questions before turning her attention to herself.

"What do you think is the connection between Zodiac and these herbs?"

"Will he come looking for me and plant a seed in my mind?"

"Can the information we've found help us find Huang Daoxian?"

Just as Zhang Xuezhou couldn't guarantee the effects of using purple gladiolus in medicine, Zhang Xuezhou also couldn't know much about Huang Daoxian.

He only uncovered some secrets by combining the information provided by Ren Yisheng and Luo Tianming.

Perhaps only the Luofu Imperial Family truly understands Huang Daoxian.

Even though Huang Daoxian kept working on the emperor and Luo Zhong's strength had reached an extremely high level, Luo Zhong still waited for Huang Daoxian and did not take the initiative to come to him.

This may prove that Luo Zhong did not know where Huang Daoxian was.

By the time Luo Chong realized he had been influenced by Huang Daoxian, it was already too late.

"I must learn a tracking technique from Master Dong!"

Tracking techniques are not part of the combat system. Like the Technique Method of Yin Entity Tracking Technique, this kind of Technique Method is difficult to use.

But when there is a need, this is the skill that is sought but not obtained.

Over the years, Zhang Xuezhou has only needed this kind of tracking technique once or twice.

When the need arises again, and he has the gladiolus grass that can be used for tracking, Zhang Xuezhou thinks he can temporarily learn tracking techniques to see if he can track down Huang Daoxian.

He pondered the white-haired, white-bearded old man he had seen in the chip, and couldn't help but pick up a pen and draw a simple sketch.

"Check this to see if you recognize this person," Zhang Xuezhou, putting down his pen.

"This... this looks like Luo Ke!"

Zhou Yueyan took the simple drawing.

Compared to the simple sketches Zhang Xuezhou used to have Ning Que hold while searching for Zhou Yueyan, this time Zhang Xuezhou drew with far more care, the artwork almost resembling a sketch.

Zhou Yueyan watched for more than ten seconds, and then thought about the Luo Ke Emperor's Tomb that she had explored yesterday, which made her quickly state her first impression when she identified it.

"Luo Ke?"

Zhang Xuezhou was taken aback.

He had always believed the person in the chip was Huang Daoxian, never imagining it might be Emperor Luo Ke.

"The Imperial City has portraits of the emperors of the Luofu Imperial Family family throughout the ages. Luo Ke's appearance is very similar to yours. Why don't you compare them yourself?" Zhou Yueyan suggested.

Do you have any video or audio recordings?

"Yes, I'll retrieve it for you!"

Zhang Xuezhou wouldn't mess around unnecessarily, especially since Zhang Xuezhou rank wouldn't allow him access to such information.

Zhou Yueyan's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't help but wonder if Zhang Xuezhou had encountered a hallucination or been possessed in Luo Ke's tomb, and then saw Luo Ke's appearance before his death.

This made her feel a little uneasy and uneasy.

Although the people weren't superstitious, they were still a little uneasy about digging up people's tombs.

She frantically typed her fingers, but even when trying to access top-secret documents from the National Library, she entered the wrong password several times.

When Zhou Yueyan retrieved the image file of Luo Ke's portrait and compared it with Zhang Xuezhou's simple sketch, she couldn't help but frown.

If Zhang Xuezhou's paintings are polished, the two paintings will be more than 90% similar.

"How could it be Luo Ke?"

Looking at the information provided by Zhou Yueyan, Zhang Xuezhou compared it with the white-haired, white-bearded old man he had seen.

He eventually had to admit that the image of the thousands of old men in the chip did indeed match Luo Ke's.

"Unfortunately, we only found purple gladiolus in those two imperial tombs, without the crystal fragments inside the flower buds, while Luo Zhong's tomb only had crystal fragments without the plant, making it difficult for me to make a comparison!"

Zhang Xuezhou pondered the question, finding the answer difficult to grasp.

He needed to ask Luo Tianming again to verify some things, and only a special Tracking Technique could help him to completely unravel the mystery.

With the materials in hand, Zhang Xuezhou showed no signs of panic or haste.

"Did you see Luo Ke in the imperial tomb?" Zhou Yueyan asked in a low voice. "Did he curse us?"

"He seemed to say 'Insolence' at the time," Zhang Xuezhou said uncertainly. "I didn't hear the sound, but his lips seemed to say that!"

"'Outrageous'? We really have gone too far in robbing graves," Zhou Yueyan admitted after thinking for a moment. "After sealing the imperial tomb today, I'll have someone burn ten large incense sticks for him as an apology!"

"Become!"

Zhang Xuezhou gave a brief reply.

He took a section of gladiolus that had lost its purple luster and turned dark gray, cut off a section of white root, and then put it in a sealed black bag.

"I'll take it back and study it. If it's useful, I'll come back to you for it," Zhang Xuezhou said.

"Why!"

"Don't worry, this might be related to the vomiting medication I'm researching. If I manage to develop a good one, I'll definitely give it to you for free!"

"Then it's settled!"

Zhou Yueyan felt conflicted about exploring the imperial tomb, feeling that the matter was incomplete and unresolved, yet finding it difficult to continue the investigation.

Zhang Xuezhou's words offered her some comfort.

"Once I reach the Sixth Sequence or Seventh Sequence, no seed will be able to be planted in my body. Even if there is a seed, I'll crush and digest it!"

After Zhang Xuezhou took the samples and left, Zhou Yueyan couldn't help but grit her teeth in frustration.

After Zhou Xin went to Qin Meng, the Zhou Household was unable to establish a stable position in Western Capital City for a time, but Zhou Yueyan did not expect that she would be pushed to the forefront so quickly.

One reason for this was that three of the second-generation successors, Chang Kong Yinghao, Chang Kong Yinglian, and Luo Hui, were seriously injured at the Sixth Sequence. Another reason was that she received treatment from Ren Anran, and the healing of her old injuries allowed her sequence strength to be pushed forward again, propelling her into the Fifth Sequence.

Zhou Yueyan, who is skilled in Black Armor Combat Technique and ancient martial arts, is not weak in actual combat, even surpassing most Fifth Sequence individuals. A series of coincidences led Zhou Yueyan, a researcher who was ranked lower, to take up the position of temporary rotating chairman.

The possibility of Zhou Rihui entering the Sixth Sequence further solidifies his position.

If we disregard competition from other provinces and cities, and don't need to consider international factors, the Zhou Household's position is almost secure.

Only after sitting in this position did Zhou Yueyan realize it was too hot to handle.

She was willing to bear the risk of potential malice, and Zhou Yueyan wouldn't do anything that would be too unprofitable.

At least in terms of resource allocation, she will be extremely inclined to side with herself for now.

As long as her staff has a pressing need, she will approve applications quickly, without even caring about the consequences.

For example, the top-secret information that Zhang Xuezhou accessed also involved the gladiolus samples that the other party had taken. These were things that Zhang Xuezhou did not have the authority to handle at the moment, even if the other party had participated in the operation.

As long as the medicine Zhang Xuezhou develops is effective, Zhou Yueyan felt that it wouldn't be a problem to invest everything in it to seek output, let alone give Zhang Xuezhou a sample.
