Chapter 101: Chapter 101 Blood Tai Sui

At the moment when the blood dropped onto the wood carving, it was absorbed into the carving at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The next moment, the wood carving that was originally as hard as stone suddenly disintegrated, instantly transforming into a lump of soft, flesh-like substance that lay limply on the ground.

"What... what on earth is this!"

The original wood carving had suddenly turned into the meaty lump in front of them, and this lump even seemed to breathe rhythmically, rising and falling in a manner that was somewhat chilling.

Zhao Luna was frightened and quickly hid behind Chen Xuan.

Even Zhao Boqian, who had seen a lot and was knowledgeable, was at a loss at this moment, completely baffled by what this thing before him was.

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "This thing, you may have never seen before, but you must have heard its name. It is commonly known as meat lingzhi, also called, Taishui!"

Zhao Boqian and Zhao Luna were both completely stunned.

"So this is Taishui!"

They had only heard of such things before but had never actually seen them. This was indeed an eye-opener for them.

Chen Xuan said, "The Compendium of Materia Medica states, ’The flesh lingzhi resembles meat, prolonged consumption of which can lighten the body, prevent aging, and extend life as if one were an immortal! This Taishui must have grown for at least a few thousand years; it is truly a rarity in the world!"

Amazement filled Zhao Boqian, but then something else crossed his mind.

"I have heard of Taishui before, but why was it as hard as wood before, and why did it turn into what it is now upon contact with blood?"

"This is where this thing becomes rare. Although Taishui is scarce as it is, it is not hard to find if one has money. But this Taishui we see is not just any ordinary Taishui. It is one of the exceedingly rare and exquisite kinds, the Blood Tai Sui!"

"Blood Tai Sui?" Zhao Boqian was hearing this name for the first time.

Chen Xuan nodded, "Put simply, whether in terms of medicinal properties or the degree of rarity, Blood Tai Sui is not something common Taishui can be compared with, and it even has the effect of bringing the dead back to life!"

"Bringing the dead back to life?" Zhao Boqian and Zhao Luna were both shocked.

The rest they could disregard, but the four words ’bringing the dead back to life’ were enough to make anyone’s heart race.

If this were true, then the value of this piece of Blood Tai Sui wasn’t something that could merely be measured by a mere two billion, it was truly a treasure beyond price!

After all, in this world, what is more important than life itself!

In fact, the main reason Chen Xuan made a hefty bid for the Blood Tai Sui was his thoughts of Zheng Yunfeng!

This morning, he had just taken Zheng Yunfeng’s pulse and mentioned that if Zheng Yunfeng wanted to be cured of his chronic disease, he could only hope to find a world-class elixir.

He thought it was nearly impossible, but, miraculously, it hadn’t even been half a day before this Blood Tai Sui appeared in front of Chen Xuan!

In Chen Xuan’s judgment, this Blood Tai Sui must have been at least over five thousand years old, and if that didn’t qualify as a world-class elixir, then nothing would.

Meanwhile, in VIP Room 518.

"Mr. Du, it seems we’ll have to think of other ways for Elder Master Du’s illness."

Du Mingshen nodded helplessly and stood up to leave.

But just then, Elder Woo suddenly sensed something, turned around sharply, and looked towards VIP Room 888.

"This is..." Elder Woo stiffened, his eyes filled with terror.

"Elder Woo, what’s wrong?"

"That Taishui, it has come to life!" Elder Woo exclaimed in alarm.

Elder Woo, known as Woo Hongmiao, was a famous divine doctor from Nanhu, a remarkable person after the Qing Court Imperial Physician era.

Just now, he had distinctly smelled a peculiar scent in the air coming from VIP Room 888.

And this scent, Woo Hongmiao had only ever encountered it on those herbs with a lifespan of thousands of years.

Elder Woo Hongmiao was no fool; he immediately understood everything.

Previously, he had thought that this so-called Warring States wood carving was just an ordinary desiccated Tai Sui, with greatly reduced medicinal effects, which was why he did not support Du Mingshen in spending too much money.

But now it seemed that was not the case.

The ancient medical texts say, "Rigid as wood, hard as stone, as though dead. It endures a thousand years without decay, and comes to life upon meeting blood."

"It’s actually... Blood Tai Sui!" Woo Hongmiao’s complexion changed drastically.

Blood Tai Sui was a legendary medicine recorded in ancient books, said to be able to bring back the dead, mend flesh and bone, and resurrect the deceased—a world apart in efficacy from common Lingzhi mushrooms!

Only at this moment did Woo Hongmiao finally realize what an enormous mistake he had made!

A single Blood Tai Sui, let alone two billion, even two hundred or two thousand billion could not measure its value!

"Elder Woo, what exactly do you mean by Blood Tai Sui?" Du Mingshen sensed something.

Woo Hongmiao did not dare to hide anything and promptly told him everything.

Upon hearing this, Du Mingshen was stunned in place.

"If there is this Blood Tai Sui, doesn’t that mean my grandfather’s illness could be...?"

Woo Hongmiao nodded, "Blood Tai Sui is the king of medicines. If we have it, Elder Master Du’s illness can surely be cured!"

Hearing this, Du Mingshen was beating his chest and stamping his feet, regretting it so much that his guts turned green.

If he had known earlier how precious the Blood Tai Sui was, he would rather have spent hundreds of billions to buy it!

But alas, it was too late to say anything now!

At that moment, Woo Hongmiao spoke, "Mr. Du, to save Elder Du’s life, the only option now is to find the person who bought the Blood Tai Sui!"

"But if that person could bid such a high price for the Blood Tai Sui, they probably won’t give it up easily, right?"

Woo Hongmiao scoffed with disdain, "Blood Tai Sui is so rare in the world, common people have not even heard of it. In my opinion, that person probably does not understand its true value and merely invested in it as a Warring States wood carving antique. As long as we’re willing to pay, getting it should not be difficult!"

Upon hearing this, Du Mingshen was overjoyed, "Good, let’s do that!"

After leaving Hanjiang Pavilion, Chen Xuan and the others went straight to the parking lot.

Zhao Boqian had had a fruitful day, especially with the acquisition of the Bronze Double Fish Vessel, which he liked very much.

However, these paled in comparison to the remarkable Blood Tai Sui.

Just as everyone was about to get in the car and leave, more than twenty black-clothed bodyguards suddenly rushed out and surrounded them.

Zhao Boqian’s face changed drastically, "What do you want to do?"

Du Mingshen stepped forward, "Gentlemen, don’t be afraid. I am the host of Room 518. I am Du Mingshen from the Du Family in Nanhu, and I’m here only to buy that Warring States wood carving."

"The Nanhu Du Family!" Zhao Boqian exclaimed.

The Du Family was a top-tier powerful family in Nanhu Province, far surpassing the four grand families of Huai City. Naturally, Zhao Boqian had heard of them.

Seeing Zhao Boqian’s reaction, Woo Hongmiao knew that he was very wary of the Du Family’s reputation.

With this, matters became much simpler.

Woo Hongmiao stepped forward, proud and haughty, "That’s right, our Mr. Du might soon become the Family Head of the Du Family. Mr. Du is quite fond of that Warring States wood carving and hopes you can do him a favor by giving up the item; the Du Family will certainly not treat you unfairly in return!"

In Woo Hongmiao’s view, owing a favor to the Du Family was something countless people desired, and the other party had absolutely no reason to refuse.

However, just as he finished speaking, they heard Chen Xuan snort coldly, "Warring States wood carving? It seems you’re here for the Blood Tai Sui, aren’t you?"
