Chapter 654: Change in Way of Thinking

Shu Ruyue was simple-minded, so she wouldn’t worry.

Li Xiaoran felt a little sorry that Luo Cheng had to go through so much trouble, so she was worried.

As for the tracking incense, Li Xiaoran felt that it wasn’t a big deal.

While Luo Cheng was waiting for Zi Zheng to bring the officials over, he quickly developed an antidote to remove the tracking incense.

The prescription Jiang Qiniang gave them was useful, but it was very ineffective. It couldn’t eliminate the tracking incense on their bodies.

In just three days, Luo Cheng looked visibly more haggard. Some stubble appeared on his face, but he didn’t have time to shave.

Li Xiaoran felt that Luo Cheng couldn’t do it, so she dragged him home and made some delicious food for him before forcing him to sleep.

Luo Cheng was very anxious, so he couldn’t fall asleep even when he lay in bed.

Seeing that his eyes were bloodshot, Li Xiaoran immediately panicked.

“Husband, if you continue like this, I’m afraid you’ll collapse before the antidote is even developed! It’s not like something will happen to me now. Even if those people track me down, won’t you protect me? So, there’s no need to force yourself into this state! Look at you, you’ve lost so much weight! If you continue like this, I’d rather commit suicide than drag you down!” Luo Cheng was frightened by Li Xiaoran and quickly hugged her.

“Don’t be anxious. I’ll rest. I’ll rest, alright? Why don’t you lie down with me?!

With you around, I’ll be able to sleep more quickly!”

Seeing this, Li Xiaoran nodded and lay down beside Luo Cheng.

Li Xiaoran originally thought that she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but not long after, she fell asleep.

With Li Xiaoran around, Luo Cheng also felt his eyelids become heavy and he quickly fell asleep.

Luo Cheng slept until noon the next day.

He had really been exhausted for the past few days.

As soon as he woke up, he saw Li Xiaoran sitting by the bed writing and drawing something.

“Xiaoran, what are you doing?

When Li Xiaoran heard Luo Cheng’s voice, she looked over in surprise.

“Husband, you’re awake! I cooked a pot of porridge for you on the small stove.

It’s still warm. I’ll scoop a bowl for you to try!”

Luo Cheng nodded and got up to wash his face.

After Li Xiaoran scooped the porridge, Luo Cheng ate it in big mouthfuls. “You haven’t answered me yet. What were you doing just now?” Since Luo Cheng was asking again, Li Xiaoran voiced her thoughts.

“Husband, when you were sleeping, I was thinking that since it’s not easy to remove this tracking incense, why don’t we change our plans?

Luo Cheng was immediately interested.

“Tell me your thoughts!”

“Husband, the other party is tracking us through the incense, so the other party must have the ability to track this fragrance. There are some fragrances that humans can’t smell, but animals can. But if we think of a way to change the fragrance on our bodies, can those people still track us? Or can those people still track us if we extract this fragrance from our bodies and add some other fragrance powder before selling it to the public?”

Li Xiaoran’s idea gave Luo Cheng a new idea.

That’s right! If they couldn’t get rid of it, they had to change the smell! If they couldn’t change the smell, they had to spread this smell! If everyone had this smell, how could those people track them?

Luo Cheng said happily, “Xiaoran, you’re really smart! I’ll go study it now!”

He had been too short-sighted previously and that was why didn’t think of any other solution.

After resting for the past few days, Jiang Qiniang didn’t have the intention to die anymore.

Her son was still in danger, so how could she leave in peace?

At least, she had to wait until her son was safe before she could face her husband.

Therefore, after Jiang Qiniang recovered, she asked Lin Ning to remove the Soft Tendon Powder from her body and she also started researching the antidote.

However, the tracking incense she encountered this time was too troublesome to deal with and she couldn’t find a solution for the time being.

Just as she was feeling a little dejected, Luo Cheng returned.

Not only did he come back, but Luo Cheng also told them about the idea provided by Li Xiaoran.

Jiang Qiniang’s eyes lit up.

“Why don’t we split up? I’ll refine this tracking incense and try to restore it. You can try to change the fragrance of this tracking incense!”

Luo Cheng nodded and the two of them split up.

By the time Zi Zheng brought Luo Han and Xu Wenjing over, Luo Cheng and the others had also made good progress.

The first piece of news was that Luo Cheng had successfully changed the smell in Li Xiaoran and the others’ bodies. Moreover, according to their requests, he had changed it to different types of smells.

Li Xiaoran wanted the fragrance of orchids, Shu Ruyue wanted the fragrance of winter plums, Jiang Qiniang wanted the fragrance of spring, and Wu Qinghe and Lin Ning wanted the fresh fragrance of bamboo.

When Jiang Qiniang saw that the tracking incense had been restored, she used it on the pig to experiment.

As expected, there was also a faint scent on the pig.

The success of these two methods relieved the group.

For now, he could only wait for time to verify if such a change was effective.

After Jiang Qiniang developed the tracking incense, Jiang Qiniang combined it with the incense models developed by Luo Cheng and also made all the other tracking incense. Then, she recorded the detailed methods.

At this moment, Zi Zheng returned. Luo Cheng asked Zi Zheng to hand these prescriptions to Li Liming and ask him to make these powders in the shortest time possible and quickly sell them to the entire government!

Before Zi Zheng could rest properly after going up the mountain, he went down the mountain to run errands again.

After Luo Han and Xu Wenjing arrived, they sent people down to save the women locked in the underground pa.s.sage.

What was strange was that after Xu Wenjing and the others brought their men down, they weren’t tainted by any tracking incense.

This time, Li Xiaoran and the others understood.

It seemed that the tracking incense was in that crock!

Luo Han teased, “Wherever you go, something bad happens!

Perhaps it’ll be an entire gold mine next time?”

Luo Cheng said, “That’s hard to say. There might really be one!”

With Li Xiaoran around, anything was possible.

Luo Han said in disbelief, “If you can really find a gold or silver mine, I’ll be totally impressed!”

Luo Cheng said seriously, “You should be impressed regardless!”
