"Also, tell Xiao Zhangzi to stop looking for the hyoid bone. An ordinary person's hyoid bone is useless now. I will personally refine a real tongue using the materials you provide. If done well, this tongue might have other effects, but I won't know until I finish refining it. Also, the purple gold must be 100% pure. For the cold iron, try to find old stock, preferably thousand-year cold iron. If not, hundred-year is acceptable." Zhu Yanyi listed several key points. The better the materials they could find, the higher the success rate. She explained everything clearly. How well they collected the materials depended on their ability.
"Rest assured. I will not allow any discount on what you need. I will deliver these items to you safely," Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi and promised seriously. As long as Zhang Haitao could speak, she didn't need to worry about the rest.
Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "That's good. The sooner you send the items, the sooner I can restore her tongue." At this stage, she had no intention of hiding anything.
"Can he speak?" Yan Aohan asked the most critical question.
"You'll know the result when the time comes. I just don't want to say now," Zhu Yanyi said with a willful expression.
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi deeply, smiled slightly, and didn't press for an answer. She opened the door and walked out. Zhu Yanyi was somewhat surprised that Yan Aohan could hold back. She had thought she would keep asking.
After Yan Aohan left, she smiled slightly, with a hint of understanding in her eyes. Although Zhu Yanyi hadn't explained, her meaning was clear. She likely already had a plan. She didn't know how she would do it, but she was curious how she would make a person without a tongue root not only speak but also protect the vocal cords.
The most urgent task now was to get the items Zhu Yanyi needed. Otherwise, she wouldn't know how she would proceed.
After handing over the material request to Yan Aohan, Zhu Yanyi stopped worrying about it. Her most important task now was to continue her medicine-making work. Although Zhang Haitao's situation might delay her trip to the capital, it wouldn't be for long. Everything depended on Zhang Haitao's condition. So, she prepared some things in advance, such as common household medicines, just in case. Although Zhu Shun Yao and Xie Xinlian had consumed her Spirit Spring water and didn't need to worry about their health, accidents could still happen.
Yan Aohan immediately ordered people to gather all the items Zhu Yanyi requested from various places. Considering the current situation, she instructed them to speed up and use special channels to deliver the items quickly.
"Boss, although my brother can't speak, my investigation shows many traces point to Sicheng Mountain," Zhang Haifeng said. He had been investigating matters related to Zhang Haitao and unexpectedly discovered this. He hurried to tell Yan Aohan, looking at him as he reported the latest situation.
Yan Aohan frowned slightly. "Sicheng Mountain isn't very high in altitude, but the mountain range is very long. It would be easy to hide traces there." He paused, then said, "Since the traces point to Sicheng Mountain, let's send people to investigate."
