Changling City Daoist Association.
Quiet Room.
An old Daoist priest and a young Taoist were sitting in front of a tea table, and they were none other than Elder Jingde and Xuanqing, who had flown over.
“Young friend, you mentioned in the phone call just now that there is a way to make money. What do you mean?” Elder Jingde asked while pouring tea.
“I have a treasure that is said to cure diseases and prolong life. I want to create a production line to specifically package and sell air.”
Xuanqing said in a deep voice.
The treasure he was referring to was naturally the Ginseng Fruit. As for the description of this treasure, the actual effect might be somewhat exaggerated, but it can still prolong life by a hundred years.
If the fragrance of the Ginseng Fruit were packaged in sealed capsules, could they be sold?
At this moment.
Upon hearing these words,
Elder Jingde couldn’t help but shake his hand, spilling tea water on the table.
His expression was bewildered.
“Young friend, are you saying…you want to sell air that, when smelled, can prolong life?” Elder Jingde was dumbfounded.
Although he knew that this young friend had refined divine powers, he still couldn’t imagine a treasure that could prolong life just by smelling it. It couldn’t be Ginseng Fruit, could it?
“Although it can prolong life, I haven’t tried its specific effects.”
Xuanqing nodded.
Seeing that Elder Jingde was somewhat skeptical, Xuanqing was not upset. After all, if someone had never seen Ginseng Fruit, why would they believe it?
With a thought,
He took out a Ginseng Fruit from his game backpack and placed it on the table.
“Here- Smell it, and you’ll understand!”
However,
Upon seeing this scene,
Elder Jingde’s face changed abruptly, and he quickly stepped back.
Bang-
The chair beneath him, which was disturbed by this sudden movement, fell over.
He never expected that the treasure mentioned by the other party would turn out to be a living…baby?
???
Seeing Elder Jingde’s reaction,
Xuanqing understood that Elder Jingde must have misunderstood.
However, anyone who hadn’t seen the Ginseng Fruit without any prior warning would certainly be confused.
“Elder Jingde, look closely. This is not a baby, but a Ginseng Fruit!” Xuanqing pointed to the table, explaining helplessly.
Elder Jingde was stunned.
Looking closely, he noticed something different about the Ginseng Fruit.
Small!
It was too small –
Even an undeveloped baby should not be the size of a fist.
Moreover, although its color is similar to flesh, its surface is extremely smooth, and there are even two leaves growing on top of it.
“Indeed, it’s not…” Elder Jingde agreed, nodding his head. However, he soon realized that this might not be a baby, but rather…
“You just said this is…Ginseng..Ginseng Fruit?”
“Is it the legendary Ginseng Fruit that can extend life for forty thousand seven years when eaten and three hundred and six when smelled?”
Elder Jingde’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression became even more horrified.
This…this…
This was even more unbelievable than his previous guess. Although the former was somewhat evil, it was at least possible. The latter, however, seemed to exist only in myths and legends.
“Old Dao, you should smell it first!” Xuanqing reminded him.
Upon hearing this,
“Huff-”
Elder Jingde took a deep breath, reached out with his right hand, and carefully picked up the Ginseng Fruit on the table.
Placing it under his nose, he took a tentative sniff.
Immediately,
An indescribable fragrance filled his nostrils. As he pondered what kind of scent it was, the chaotic Qi contained within the fragrance of the Ginseng Fruit reached his lungs through his nostrils.
In an instant,
His aging lungs began to rejuvenate at a visible speed under the nourishment of the chaotic Qi.
Using the lungs as a foundation, it began to surge towards his internal organs.
The heartbeat of his heart revived, and it began to beat strongly like that of a young person. The cells in his blood became more energetic as well.
These were changes that were happening internally.
Externally, the visible changes were even more astonishing.
Sagging skin gradually tightened, white hair turned black again, and murky eyes regained clarity.
He looked…nothing like an eighty-year-old man, but rather a man in his thirties in the prime of his life!
At this moment,
Elder Jingde trembled as he stretched out his hands, looking at his youthful skin in shock.
“Hiss….”
“It’s really Ginseng Fruit, is there really such a treasure in this world?”
Elder Jingde stared at the Ginseng Fruit in his hand with obsessed eyes. A trace of greed was even born in his heart, wanting to swallow the Ginseng Fruit in one gulp.
In the end, reason triumphed over desire.
He carefully placed the Ginseng Fruit back on the table.
“All- I almost lost my Dao heart, young friend. Which official can withstand such a test?” Elder Jingde sighed with sadness.
When he thought about how he had almost given in to greed and nearly swallowed the fruit, he felt a lingering fear.
If he had really done that, even if they had a good relationship, Xuanqing would probably strike him with a spell.
“Daoist, you didn’t eat it, did you?”
Xuanqing shook his head with a smile.
Actually,
If Jingde had really given in to temptation and stolen the fruit to eat it, Xuanqing would not have blamed him, but he knows their fate would have come to an end.
After all, with the vast energy contained in the Ginseng Fruit, if he had swallowed it, his body would have exploded and died, so there would be no fate to speak of anyway-
Hearing this,
Elder Jingde rolled his eyes in annoyance.
After thinking for a moment,
“I understand your meaning now. You want to use the Ginseng Fruit as a foundation to establish an air capsule production line, right?”
“Yes!” Xuanqing nodded in agreement and then added:
“Once the capsules are produced, the effect may not be as optimal as directly smelling the fruit, but they will still be effective for prolonging life and allowing people to live a few more years.”
“It’s not difficult to establish a production line, but…” Elder Jingde hesitated for a moment, then continued:
“However, once the life extension capsules come out, they will inevitably cause a sensation in the world, and the eyes of the world will be focused on them. As for the safety of the Ginseng Fruit…”
However,
Xuanqing shook his head with a smile, “By then, the production line will be established at Qingping Mountain, so there will be no security issues.”
He had considered this issue from the beginning.
In terms of security, he could set up a formation, and with the Mountain God Huai Qingyun, no one would be able to attempt to steal the Ginseng Fruit unless they were faced with a large army.
“Alright, since you’re so confident, I’ll trust you.”
Elder Jingde sighed with relief.
He knew very well that the emergence of such a treasure would cause an impact no less than a worldwide earthquake.
It seemed that the seemingly immortal young friend Xuanqing had no fear, but he, an old man, could not bear such tremendous pressure.
And so, the matter was settled.
Xuanqing put the Ginseng Fruit on the table back into his game backpack.
When he was about to leave,
Suddenly,
“Wait..”
