After arriving at Baotai Hall and entering Cheng Guang's private pharmacy, Qin Hai was also shocked by the scene in front of him.
A wide wooden table was filled with all kinds of small boxes. The floor near the corner of the table was also piled with them. Dust was piled up all over the box, making it look like a random stall. However, he opened one at random and found that it was filled with all kinds of rubies. They were all of different shapes and sizes, and almost all of them were exquisite.
"So many!" Qin Hai really didn't expect that the baldie would collect so many rubies during this period of time. He turned his head to ask Cheng Guang who was beside him, "Uncle Cheng, have you tried all of these rubies?"
"I've tried them all. Although these rubies are rare and exquisite, they are not the kind of red jade that I told you about!" Cheng Guang sighed with a look of helplessness. For the past few days, he had been working day and night trying to test these rubies. Not a single one of them had met his expectations, and they were all not the kind of red jade he was looking for.
Qin Hai also noticed that Cheng Guang was much skinnier than before. He seemed to have worked very hard recently.
His mood immediately became heavy. He put down the box and said, "Uncle Cheng, let's put this matter at an end. If you keep looking, firstly, your body won't be able to take it. Secondly, like this looking for a needle in a haystack isn't a solution. And this was only a little more than a hundred, what if it was thousands or even tens of thousands? Do I have to keep trying every single time? So definitely not. I will definitely continue searching for the red jade, but I can't look for it like this anymore. You should also recuperate your body first, don't be too tired. "
"I'm not too tired, you know. I also really want to find Red Jade. If people do things that they're interested in, then they wouldn't feel tired." However, just like you said, this isn't a solution. Maybe we won't be able to find it for the rest of our lives, so all of our efforts will go to waste. " Cheng Guang shook his head and smiled bitterly.Qin Hai pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there no other way?"
Cheng Guang shook his head with a helpless expression.
It seemed that he could only stop himself from trying to recreate the Nine Revolutions Life Continuing Ointment. At the moment, he could only hope that Professor Mo could make a breakthrough and that they could develop a medicine that was close to the Nine Revolutions Life Continuing Ointment without the help of red jade, not to mention half of the effects of the Nine Revolutions Life Continuing Ointment, as long as he had 10%, it would be enough.
After drinking two cups of tea in Baotai Hall, Qin Hai asked Cheng Guang to take his leave and prepared to go over to Professor Mo's place at the University of Chemical Technology.
Cheng Guang quickly asked, "Little Qin, what do we do with the red packet of stones? Tell someone to take them away. It's not safe here."Qin Hai laughed, "Don't you know a lot of people who do jade business? You can decide on these rubies. If you like them, you can keep them and sell the rest." Then, Qin Hai turned back to Cheng Xi and said, "Xiaoxi, take a look and see if there are any you like."
Cheng Xi knew that Qin Hai didn't care about this small amount of money. He smiled and nodded, "Then, I won't be polite!"But Cheng Guang turned pale with fright, "How can that be? These rubies are all very precious."
"It's fine. Uncle Cheng, you can handle it as you wish!" After he finished, Qin Hai waved to the father and daughter of the Cheng family and left the Baotai Hall without looking back.Cheng Guang still wanted to chase him, but he was stopped by Cheng Xi, "Dad, just listen to him. These rubies are already useless to him, you helping him by selling them all. Furthermore, even if all of them are exchanged for money, it would not mean much to him.
Cheng Guang also heard from Cheng Xi that Qin Hai was rich, so he could only helplessly shake his head and sigh, "Then that's all we can do. I'll contact a few jade merchants and deal with this batch of rubies as soon as possible. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep soundly all day!""Hee hee, I'll go pick a few first!" Before he could finish, Cheng Xi ran towards Cheng Guang's pharmacy.
… ….Compared to the lack of progress on Cheng Guang's side, Professor Mo's work was much better. He had already identified 27 of the 30 herbs so far, so his efficiency was very high.
After Qin Hai came to Professor Mo's laboratory, he was immediately encouraged when he heard that the arrangement of the formula was going smoothly.However, he didn't have to be happy for long before the expression on Professor Mo's face darkened.
An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in Qin Hai's heart. He asked, "Did you encounter some sort of problem?"
"Up till now, the most troublesome part is still the potion!" Professor Mo opened a record document on the computer, pointed to the data and said, "Look, this is our recent experimental record. We have made a variety of prescriptions based on the identified herbs, and we have also tried using a lot of ingredients, but the current results are not satisfactory."
"Bad effects?" Qin Hai frowned."It's not bad. It's completely ineffective. Some of them even have the opposite effect." Professor Mo shook his head and sighed, "Chinese medicine is a product of thousands of years of accumulation, and it is truly profound. It is just a small drug and the result with it is completely the opposite. It is really magical!"
Medicine again!
Qin Hai was also speechless. It seemed that if he didn't find that red jade, he wouldn't be able to think of obtaining the Nine Revolutions Life Continuing Ointment.
Just when Qin Hai was worrying about the red jade, Yu Zimeng, who was far away at the Spring River, was also anxious.Yesterday afternoon, Xiao Nannan once again came to the Hongdao Archery Museum, to report to her the results of the Conduit police investigation. There is much evidence that Huo Xiaoging left the city on the night of his arrival in the city, and that he had already returned to Spring River by bus.
Yu Zimeng didn't believe that Huo Xiaojing would lie to her, but when Xiao Nan brought out iron-like evidence, especially after the photos of Huo Xiaojing were taken by several surveillance cameras in Spring River City, she had no choice but to admit this fact.
Soon after, Yu Zimeng was surprised to discover that no matter how hard she tried to call Huo Xiaoging, she couldn't get in touch with him. Huo Xiaojing's phone was turned off all the time. It had been the same since last night and this morning. This situation was very abnormal.
Yu Zimeng was a little flustered. She recalled the strange bruise on Huo Xiaojing's leg a few days ago. Could it be that Huo Xiaojing was really the murderer mentioned by Qin Hai?Qin Hai also said that the killer he encountered the night before yesterday had fired a series of arrows.
Could it really be Little Jing?Yu Zimeng found it hard to believe. In her opinion, although Huo Xiaoging was young and impulsive, he was a kind-hearted person and definitely not a merciless murderer.
However, if it wasn't Huo Xiaojing, why would he lie to her? Why did he return to the Spring River in secret on the night of his arrival in the city? What was his purpose in doing so?
Yu Zimeng was restless all day as she repeatedly called Huo Xiaoging's number. However, she would never be able to imagine what Huo Xiaojing had become like now.At this moment, in the basement of the villa that Wu Xuan had given to Huo Xiaojing, Huo Xiaojing was locked in a steel cage. He rammed the cage like crazy, letting out howls that resembled that of a wild beast. However, the cage was welded together very firmly. No matter how he rammed, it would not affect the cage at all.
