‘Blood Jade Lingzhi?’
And true enough, Ning Fei’s proclamation had resulted in a flurry of comments.
‘What’s that?’
‘Are you serious?’
‘Is it some sort of jade-grade lingzhi?’?
‘Experts, please enlighten us.’
‘Ahem. Let me fill everyone in. Any kind of jade lingzhi means that it’s at least 50 years old.’
’50 years? No way!’ fr eewebn ovel.com
‘Blood lingzhi is more common in the market, and it’s valued at 3,000 to 5,000 yuan per 500 grams. But for Blood Jade Lingzhi, it’s different. It’s a luxury item for the rich. A conservative value would be 500,000 yuan.’
‘500,000 yuan? Are you kidding? For one lingzhi?’
‘Poverty has restricted my imagination.’
‘I’m jealous! I feel like I’ve just bitten into a lemon!’
The viewers started an intense discussion.
Ning Fei shifted a little before he switched to his phone for the livestream. That way, the viewers would be able to have a clearer look at the lingzhi.
Under the rock, there was a clump of some black algae-looking plant. On top of that was a sparkling red lingzhi, nestled quietly in the leaves.
This blood lingzhi was different from the ones found in the market. The common blood lingzhi was red as well, but the color would be lackluster, and they would all seem rather crude.
However, this blood lingzhi was a delicate and dainty specimen with clear markings. If one were to look closely, he or she would discover that the surface was almost translucent. The color had come from the veins inside the lingzhi.
The viewers, with renewed energy and seriousness, took a close and careful look at this priceless plant.
Jiang Feng was watching the livestream too.
When he heard the plant being identified as a Blood Jade Lingzhi, he seemed to be shaken, and his expression changed.
It was no secret that Vessel Medicine Pharmacy, that renowned company in China, had been consistently purchasing Blood Jade Lingzhi.
So Jiang Feng rewarded Ning Fei with a super rocket and sent him a private message.?‘I’m buying this lingzhi.’
Ning Fei hadn’t noticed the screen yet as he was too engrossed in admiring the lingzhi.
Suddenly, he realized that something wasn’t right. He frowned to himself as he muttered, “Something isn’t right.”
The drone had taken over the filming, and the viewers noticed the hesitation and confusion in Ning Fei’s expression.
‘Webcaster, what’s wrong? Isn’t this Blood Jade Lingzhi?’
‘Judging from his expression, he must have been wrong.’
‘I agree! How could anyone chance upon such a gem that easily?’
‘Hahaha! In that case, I feel better.’
The viewers gloated in his misery.
Ning Fei took out his fragrance-wood stick as he gently lifted the lingzhi. When he saw the underneath of the plant, he announced solemnly, “This is indeed Blood Jade Lingzhi, but it’s not the ordinary kind.”
It was not an ordinary Blood Jade Lingzhi?
The viewers were taken aback.
What had he meant by that?
“This Blood Jade Lingzhi has solidified beads of blood. This is a Curded Blood Lingzhi!” Ning Fei spluttered in disbelief.
‘What? Curded Blood Lingzhi?’
‘What the f*ck?! Curded Blood Lingzhi?’
‘Solidified blood? Curded Blood Lingzhi blooms only once a century, and it only does so under extreme conditions.’? freewebn ovel.c om
‘How many are there?’
The comments flooded the screen at Ning Fei’s luck.
Curded Blood Lingzhi!
Curded Blood Lingzhi took a century to bloom. What sorcery was this?
This was a truly priceless treasure!
This would definitely be a treasure of the highest quality!
Ning Fei switched the view to that of the Curded Blood Lingzhi. Using the stick, he carefully lifted it once again and pointed to the roots as he said, “Everyone, look at that. There are two beads of blood underneath, and that was why I didn’t spot it immediately. But this has proven that it’s indeed a Curded Blood Lingzhi and one that possesses two beads of blood. Lady luck is certainly on my side.”
Ning Fei was right. This treasure would only grow deep in the mountains and in secluded areas. It would never bloom in artificial settings.
In other words, this plant was priceless!
Any kind of Blood Lingzhi was precious and rare. It could boost immunity, resist signs of aging, lower blood pressure, protect the liver and heart, amongst other miraculous functions.
Curded Blood Lingzhi was the rarest of them all!
After all, it had been consolidating its essence for a century!
According to its estimated market value, this Curded Blood Lingzhi should be worth at least 2,000,000 yuan!
After determining that there wasn’t any danger in the surroundings, Ning Fei plucked the lingzhi carefully.
This lingzhi looked as exquisite and fine as a piece of art, except for the two clots of tumor-like clumps near its roots.
But that was the true value of the lingzhi!
‘So this is the Curded Blood Lingzhi?’
‘I smell cash.’
‘Oh dear, this is worth millions of yuans?’
‘Are you pulling my leg? Is this fake?’
‘I can’t believe I have the chance to witness a real precious plant that’s worth millions of yuan.’
Medicine Trader wrote,?‘Host, I will buy it from you for 1,000,000?yuan1.’
Outdoor Man countered,?‘Host, I offer 1,500,000 yuan.’
Old Crane typed,?‘1,600,000 yuan!’
Medicine Trader commented again,?‘Host, I will buy it from you for 1,700,000 yuan!’
At this time, several rich bosses had begun to send rockets along with messages. Their offers increased as they outbid each other.
In minutes, the livestream became a competition arena for the rich.
The screen was littered with flying rockets, and the viewers were all bewildered.
What was happening?
Had these bosses gone mad?
Ning Fei was also taken aback by such a situation.
He knew that the Curded Blood Lingzhi’s market value was estimated to be 2,000,000 yuan. He would be lucky if he could sell it for 1,700,000 yuan.
He was about to accept the highest bid when, suddenly, something unexpected happened.
Master Jiang sent 10 super rockets and a message.?‘I want this Curded Blood Lingzhi. 3,000,000 yuan!’
Jiang Feng’s words stirred up a wild storm!
F*ck! 3,000,000 yuan!
Was he joking?
Was this the world of the rich?
Outdoor Man, Old Crane, and Medicine Trader all clammed up when they saw the message.
Medicine Trader typed,?‘Ahem. I wanted to sell it to Vessel Medicine Pharmacy, but since Master Jiang is here, I shall not cause trouble.’
Medicine Trader seemed to be privy to some inside story, but he didn’t reveal it.
Ning Fei was also shocked by Jiang Feng’s generosity.
He had offered 3,000,000 yuan!
This offer was irresistible!
“All right, I accept,” Ning Fei nodded as he replied.
At the headquarters of Vessel Medicine Pharmacy, Jiang Feng was staring nervously at the screen.
If anyone were to outbid his offer of 3,000,000 yuan, he would then have offered 5,000,000 yuan. And he was willing to go up to 10,000,000 yuan.
Jiang Feng had an ironclad reason for getting this Curded Blood Lingzhi, and he heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Ning Fei. He was worried that Ning Fei might regret it, so he immediately transferred 3,000,000 yuan to his account.
He sent Ning Fei a private message.?‘I’ve sent the money. Looking forward to receiving the item soon.’
Ning Fei hadn’t expected Jiang Feng to do that. He sensed that Jiang Feng had an unexplainable desire for this Curded Blood Lingzhi.
Why would he be so obsessed with this Curded Blood Lingzhi?
However, Ning Fei didn’t dwell on it too much.
