Looking at the jade pendant in his hand, which could already be called a "masterpiece", Chen Zhe gritted his teeth and chose to upgrade for the third time.

This upgrade is almost going to cost him all the popularity points on hand, it can be said to be a big gamble, if this upgrade is still not enough to impress the pharmacist, then Chen Zhe is destined to have no fate with that Red Flame Lotus.

At this moment, I saw that the entire shape of the turquoise jade pendant in front of me had changed, and a bit of red red gently penetrated from its inside, and then rendered out, spreading into the entire jade like blood......

Although Chen Zhe is a complete layman when it comes to jade, he can still see that this piece of jade is different.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Sure enough, it is a treasure that was upgraded after three upgrades, and it is a gem on top of a gem, this time I think the medicine master will definitely be satisfied......

Eyes swept to this strange jade with a red color that seemed to be bleeding, and the system gave a hint:

[Item detected: A centuries-old piece of peerless blood jade.] 】

"Superb blood jade, what kind of variety is this?"

Chen Zhe has never heard of this kind of jade, but he knows that this jade is definitely not ordinary, you must know that the jadeite, known as the king of jade, is its next grade, which shows its high grade.

"No matter, anyway, there is no popularity value left, so I can only gamble on it......"

Chen Zhe made up his mind and put the piece of jade in his jacket pocket.

And when this piece of jade touched Chen Zhe's pocket through a layer of clothes, Chen Zhe had a strange feeling.

Jade has the reputation of "thousand-year-old ice", and it stands to reason that jade is cold to the touch, but when this piece of jade is put into his pocket, Chen Zhe not only does not feel cold, but feels that this stone is warm and soft.

"It's really a good thing......"

Chen Zhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart,

"Now it seems that my hope of winning the Red Flame Lotus is one more point. ”

Driving back to the pharmacist's villa, only half an hour had passed.

Knocking on the door of the room, Chen Zhe walked in with a smile on his face with blood jade.

Although it only took half an hour for Chen Zhe to come back, Chi Yanlian's other competitors, Song Mingen and Song Mingyuan, were already a little impatient.

In fact, the main reason is that Song Mingyuan is impatient, Song Mingen is in a relatively good mood as an older sister, and he is still not arrogant or impatient, but Song Mingyuan looks impatient, and can't help urging: "Okay, how much money do you have, tell me as soon as possible...... But remember, no matter how much money you pay, I'll have two million more than you. ”

When the pharmacist next to him heard this, he couldn't help but smile.

He likes customers like Song Mingyuan, who are stupid and have a lot of money, and a Red Flame Lotus with an original price of 8 million is afraid that it will not be sold at double the price.

Seeing Chen Zhe coming back, Qin Jia hurriedly greeted him nervously.

"How is it, Chen Zhe, have you scraped together the money?" Qin Jia asked in a low voice.

Chen Zhe shook his head: "No." ”

"What?" Qin Jia was a little surprised, and said worriedly, "What then?"

Pharmacist Fang is also very sorry, Chen Zhe didn't get the money, this Red Flame Lotus just can't increase the price, he makes at least two million less, it's distressing......

And Song Mingyuan heard that Chen Zhe didn't get the money, his face became ugly, and he couldn't help complaining: "I gave you an hour to go out, but you didn't get a penny?

Please, our time is precious, are you wasting it?"

However, Chen Zhe glanced back at Song Mingyuan and said, "Don't be in a hurry to shout, this Red Flame Lotus is still mine." ”

"What?" Song Mingyuan snorted coldly, "Don't be ashamed." ”

Chen Zhe didn't argue with him, but turned to Pharmacist Fang and said, "Teacher Fang, I really don't have 10 million here, I definitely can't compare to these two friends in terms of price alone, but I have a proposal, I exchange the treasure for this Red Flame Lotus, how about it?"

When the pharmacist heard this, he squinted his eyes and said, "Exchange the treasure for the Red Flame Lotus...... It's not impossible, but since this Red Flame Lotus has been raised to 10 million, the price of this treasure must also be above this range. ”

Pharmacist Fang is not a loser, he will never make a loss-making deal.

After hearing his words, Chen Zhe nodded dashingly and said, "Teacher Fang, don't worry, this treasure of mine is definitely worth this price." ”

Song Mingyuan next to him was amused again, and asked, "Just blow it, what treasure can you be worth 10 million?"

Chen Zhe calmly took out the piece of superb blood jade from his pocket, and then showed it to everyone: "Priceless treasure!"

Before the words fell, the jade in his hand seemed to have its own light, and it flickered violently in this not-so-dim living room.

Song Mingyuan looked stupid, and couldn't help but rub his eyes.

In addition to Song Mingyuan, Song Mingen, Qin Jia, and including the pharmacist next to him also felt extremely shocked, the jade in front of them was really beautiful, with a bright brilliance, moist water, and a unique color.

The outer circle is a faint light green, but there is a little red on the inside, like a jar of red paint thrown into the surface of the lake.

Qin Jia couldn't help but raise his head and asked Chen Zhe, "Chen Zhe, what kind of jade are you?" How come I have never seen such jade before, this jade is too beautiful, right?"

Before Chen Zhe could speak, Song Mingyuan next to him shook his head and said, "How can this be natural jade?

I'm afraid this jade is a man-made product, right?"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the pharmacist who had studied jade quite well shook his head and said, "Mingyuan, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! This is not ordinary jade, let alone man-made jade...... This is blood jade!

"Blood Jade?"

When everyone heard it, it was even more strange.

"What kind of jade is blood jade?"

"That's right, Teacher Fang, what is Blood Jade?"

Chen Zhe smiled and nodded: "Teacher Fang really has a good eye, this is a piece of blood jade, and it is a blood jade of hundreds of years. ”

"Hundreds of years of blood jade ......" Teacher Fang's eyes lit up, and his whole body trembled with excitement.

Song Mingen sounded a little wrong, as if this jade was really a priceless treasure, she hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Grandpa Fang, what is blood jade, how come I have never heard of this kind of jade?"

Pharmacist Fang said: "There is no blood jade in the world, this blood jade is a product of history. In ancient China, in order to prevent the corpse from decomposing after death, the nobles would often stuff some jade into the holes of the body to preserve the corpse, because jade has a thousand years of cold ice, so the ancients felt that jade can help preserve the corpse and make the corpse incorruptible for a long time......"

Hearing this, Qin Jia nodded and said, "That's true, it's just that this statement is very unscientific." In fact, jade is not ice, and its composition is very different from ice. In addition, jade has no effect on preserving corpses, and it is useless to stuff jade into corpses. ”

"Xiao Qin is right. Pharmacist Fang nodded, "But in the case of the ancient people acting so recklessly, these jade stones stuffed into the corpse have undergone some strange changes instead.

Some jade stones have coexisted with the deceased for a long time, and some wonderful chemical reactions have actually occurred inside, and some red spots and red flocculation have begun to appear inside this jade, as if bleeding from the inside out......

This is where the blood jade comes from. ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized.

Even Chen Zhe heard of it for the first time, and this turned out to be blood jade.

However, after the sudden realization, a chill rose in everyone's hearts, and then there were some creepy feelings.

Song Mingen couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Fang, in other words, the blood jade is all pulled out of the body of the deceased......? Isn't this kind of jade taboo?"

"This ......"

Pharmacist Fang scratched his nose in embarrassment, coughed, and said,

"Anything that is not taboo is feudal superstition...... In fact, from ancient times to the present, many great works of art have been excavated from tombs, strictly speaking, they are all considered spiritual weapons, and this blood jade is of course no exception. But as long as it has artistic value in its own right, that's enough. ”

"But I still think it's a little weird, and it's quite scary...... Song Mingen said.

Qin Jia also felt a little frightened, and unconsciously shivered.

At this time, Pharmacist Fang looked at Chen Zhe and asked, "Young man, the blood jade is still a treasure among treasures, this can really be regarded as a priceless treasure." Originally, there were very few tombs that could use this kind of precious jade to seal corpses, and among the jade stones that sealed corpses, there were even fewer that mutated into blood jade......

You just said that this piece of blood jade of yours has a history of hundreds of years, so this is even more of a gem among the best, can I take a look at this piece of blood jade?"

"Absolutely. ”

Chen Zhe happily agreed, and handed over the blood jade in his hand.

The pharmacist took it and looked at it, the tentacles were not cold at all, but with a faint warmth, and then carefully studied the lines, only to see that the red in this piece of jade had already shown a flocculent shape, there is no doubt that this is indeed a piece of blood jade that has been hundreds of years old.

"Baby...... What a baby......"

The prescription pharmacist is happy to open his face.

In addition to collecting medicinal herbs and counting money in his life, his biggest hobby is collecting jade, but unfortunately he has collected jade for decades, but he has never obtained a piece of blood jade.

If Chen Zhe's piece of blood jade simply made him ecstatic, let alone 10 million, even if Song Mingyuan doubled the price and gave 20 million, he would still have to give Chen Zhe this red flame lotus.

Looking at Chen Zhe, Pharmacist Fang asked excitedly, "Young man, are you really willing to exchange this piece of blood jade for the Red Flame Lotus?"

"Of course. Chen Zhe nodded calmly, "I don't have a strong love for jade, but I need the Red Flame Lotus very much. ”

"That's great, I'll take out the Red Flame Lotus and give it to you now. ”

Pharmacist Fang said happily, then turned around and went to the second floor, and walked out a few minutes later with a delicate medicine box.

This pill box is about the size of a shoebox, with a translucent design, and when you look at it from the outside, you can see the contents inside, which is a gorgeous fiery red lotus flower.

However, the lotus flower should have been artificially treated, and now it looks like a dried flower, so that the water is removed, and the lotus flower is more suitable for preservation.

"Alright, the Red Flame Lotus is yours now. Pharmacist Fang said with a smile.

Song Mingyuan next to him wanted to fight again, so he moved his lips and wanted to speak, but his sister Song Mingen was quite clever and hurriedly grabbed his younger brother.

She knew that Chen Zhe's piece of blood jade was an invincible killer weapon, and no matter how high the price was given by the two of them, it would be impossible for them to grab this Red Flame Lotus again.

And after getting the Red Flame Lotus, Chen Zhe couldn't help asking, "By the way, Teacher Fang, how long can this Red Flame Lotus be stored?"

"Under normal circumstances, two to three years is no problem. Pharmacist Fang said.

"Then how do you usually store it?" Chen Zhe asked again.

"How do you keep it? Just put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate it. Pharmacist Fang said again.

"Let it go...... Put it in the fridge?"

Chen Zhe was a little surprised when he heard this, a medicinal herb worth eight million was actually the same as ordinary fruits and vegetables, and it had to be stored in the refrigerator?

Seeing Chen Zhe's reaction, the pharmacist couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why? Isn't it unacceptable? In fact, no matter how precious the medicinal herb is, it is only a plant, and it is not easy to perish in a cold environment, and the same is true of the Red Flame Lotus......

"Understood. Chen Zhe nodded.

Pharmacist Fang smiled and said, "By the way, I can also inquire about the other herbs you are looking for, but these herbs are too rare, and I can't guarantee that you will find them for a while......"

"Then trouble Teacher Fang, I'll wait for your news. Chen Zhe said, "If there is news of other medicinal materials, I will definitely rush over as soon as possible, and the price I offer will definitely satisfy you." ”

"Okay. Pharmacist Fang nodded, and then looked at the blood jade in his hand with joy.

Chen Zhe's treasure was really sent to his heart.

And since Chen Zhe had already obtained the medicinal materials, he naturally didn't stay longer, he and Qin Jia greeted the pharmacist Fang, and then turned around and left the villa.

Looking at the backs of the two of them leaving, Song Mingyuan said angrily: "Alas, that red flame lotus was originally able to give grandpa a life...... It's really ...... to be snatched away like this Alas!"

Compared with Song Mingyuan's irritability, her sister Song Mingen was quite calm, her beautiful eyes turned, and she suddenly walked towards the pharmacist and said:

"Grandpa Fang, I heard what you just said, how many other medicinal herbs does that young gentleman need besides the Red Flame Lotus?"

"Yes...... "Pharmacist Fang nodded, "this young man is really weird, one mouth is four or five flavors of quite precious medicinal herbs...... Each of these medicinal herbs is a magic medicine that can live the dead, flesh and bones, what the hell does he want to do with so many medicinal materials together?

But I don't bother to think about the details, anyway, he just has enough to pay...... I really didn't expect him to get a hundred-year-old piece of blood jade...... It's not easy for this young man to come here!"

Song Mingen listened to these seriously, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Grandpa Fang, can you ask what medicinal materials he wants?"
