Xiao Tian coughed lightly and explained: "The water of the River Styx, according to the records in the book, is an excellent elixir for makeover, which first appeared more than five hundred years ago, and has no side effects, which is not much better than the most brilliant cosmetic surgery now!"

"Of course, the water of the River Styx is only effective for the skin, the bones cannot be changed, and the size of the eyes and the height of the bridge of the nose are still the same. ”

Although she had just heard Xiao Tian say it once, but when she heard similar words again at this time, Xiang Yiting couldn't help but be a little surprised, her major was related to this aspect, but even she had never heard any experts and professors mention it.

For a while, Xiang Yiting couldn't help but have a very bold idea, if the composition of the water of the Styx could be analyzed and mass-produced, then it would be enough to eat patents for the rest of her life.

What's more, the cosmetics industry has always been a profiteering and best-selling industry, and I am afraid that it will be robbed madly once it comes out, just like a money printing machine, and there will be a lot of banknotes in the account at any time.

The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't help but be excited, Xiang Yiting immediately informed Xiao Tian of the matter, but the result was not satisfactory......

……

"There is nothing wrong with the idea, but mass production is impossible, and even imitation is impossible!" Xiao Tian said frankly, pouring cold water on Xiang Yiting, who was fantasizing about making a fortune.

Xiang Yiting naturally didn't want to die easily, so she asked, "Why?"

"Do you know how much this small porcelain vase costs?" Xiao Tian shook the celadon vase containing the water of the River Styx in his hand, and said with a smile: "If you calculate according to the current money, the conservative estimate is around five million, do you have five million?"

Saying that, Xiao Tian accentuated his tone again and added: "Note, this still does not rule out the statement that you can't buy raw materials, and the specific figure is only a lot more than the cost price I just said!"

"We can find investors to solve the problem of funds, five million is a sky-high price for us, but for those listed companies, it is not a lot of money, right?" Xiang Yiting retorted.

Xiao Tian sneered: "Even if the problem of funds can be solved, have you ever thought about a question, why hasn't the water of the Styx River been passed down to the present?"

Xiang Yiting frowned, this is really a problem, if according to Xiao Tian, there are no side effects, but the cost is much higher, it should not be that I haven't heard of it until now.

After thinking about it, Xiang Yiting asked tentatively: "Is it because people in the past didn't pay much attention to the beauty of appearance?"

Xiao Tian shook his head and revealed the answer: "Because the water of the River Styx has only appeared for a few years, it has been banned by the imperial court at that time, once caught or reported, whether it is a buyer or a seller, it will be a capital crime, and if the circumstances are serious, it will even affect the family." ”

"Why?" asked Xiang Yiting with a frown.

"It's easy!"

Xiao Tian showed a meaningful smile: "Because it's too hurtful!"

"Hurt the sky?!" Xiang Yiting was shocked, feeling that she had vaguely guessed something, but it was just like seeing flowers in the fog, she could only glimpse a corner, and she couldn't know anything deeper.

"Yes!" Xiao Tian nodded affirmatively: "The water of the River Styx, you should be able to hear it from the name, the most important thing is water, and the problem is on the water." ”

Speaking of this, Xiao Tian paused for a moment and asked, "You should have heard of mass graves, right?"

"In certain periods of ancient times, when the plague broke out, it was fearful that it would continue to spread, so the people infected with the plague were gathered together and buried together. Xiang Yiting said it simply and clearly, but she couldn't help but ask: "However, what does the mass grave have to do with the water of the River Styx?"

The voice settled, and before Xiao Tian could speak, Xiang Yiting's eyes suddenly widened: "Wait! You don't want to say that the water of the River Styx is extracted from the mass grave, right?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Tian shook his head in denial, and then said, "But it's about the same, because the water of the River Styx is indeed related to mass graves. ”

In fact, the waters of the River Styx were first discovered by chance on some battlefield strewn with corpses and rivers of blood, and the plants that grew on the blood-infested land were exceptionally strong and unusual.

So the sap from those plants was extracted and studied specifically for its function and composition, and the water of the River Styx was named.

As for the mass grave mentioned by Xiao Tian, it is related to the prohibition of the water of the River Styx.

In times of war, the waters of the River Styx have certain conditions for forming, and they only need to wait a few years before they can be harvested.

But in peacetime, naturally there are no such conditions, and some black-hearted people artificially create the water of the River Styx to sell it at a high price, and use it in all walks of life, such as medicine and beauty, the two major markets are the mainstream.

Although in the eyes of the vast majority of people, this is definitely a hurtful thing, but in the eyes of those who are crazy, it becomes a profitable business.

So, after the incident, it naturally caused a huge earthquake at this time, and the water of the River Styx was listed as an absolutely forbidden existence, so it was not left behind.

And although Xiao Tian is also resentful of this kind of thing that is said to be evil, he still feels that he keeps it in case there is any need in the future.

……

After listening to Xiao Tian's introduction to the origin of the water of the River Styx, Xiang Yiting was already dumbfounded, and when she looked at the celadon vase again, she couldn't help but feel a lot more weird feelings in her heart, and she no longer had that kind of enthusiasm.

The plan to make a fortune was shattered, and Xiang Yiting was like a defeated attack, and the whole person was a little listless.

As everyone knows, Xiao Tian also sighed in his heart after finishing speaking, but he was afraid that after he told the origin of this water of the River Styx, no one would be willing to use it.

Except, of course, those who put the pursuit of beauty first, even above life.

"Now, are you going to divide it in half?" Xiao Tian looked at Xiang Yiting with a smile.

Xiang Yiting was about to shake her head, but suddenly as if she had thought of something, she looked Xiao Tian up and down suspiciously, and muttered: "No, you shouldn't have deliberately made up such a story to dispel my thoughts about the water of the River Styx, right?"

Xiao Tian's smile was still the same: "If you want, you can do it!"

"Forget it!"

Xiang Yiting shook her head again and again, and then looked at Xiao Tian intently, as if asking a question, and said as if asking herself: "What kind of person are you?"

Xiao Tian was shocked, knowing that he had just been overexcited, and he was a little too careless.

Although Xiang Yiting can be regarded as his own person at this time, Xiao Tian is confident that the other party will not be the one who betrays his friends, but he knows better that Xiang Yiting is just an ordinary person.

And it's an ordinary person with excellent qualifications who hasn't been discovered yet!

Therefore, even for the sake of her safety, Xiao Tian never wanted her to know too much, and prevaricating this matter became the best choice so far.
