As ice toad blood dissolving pills were expensive, the group didn't carry the pills with them. They could only fetch for some from the pharmacy and pray that it wouldn't take too long.
"We can't just wait idly." Appraiser Wang was aware of how long it would take to go to the pharmacy and back. Among the poisoned pet beasts, some were so severely intoxicated that they couldn't afford to wait anymore.
Appraiser Wang immediately took out a set of needles. Acupuncture needles were necessary tools for beast appraisers so one would carry them everywhere. Appraiser Wang's needles were aged, as evidenced by how worn out the outer layer of his pouch was.
By now, Appraiser Cao had come to terms with reality as well. After they both appraised the beasts for the third time, they managed to confirm that poisoning was due to the three-leaf antidote. Despite their confusion and disbelief, facts were facts.
