"How...... Isn't that ridiculous? ”

Seeing Jiang Shaoyou showing a look of crying and laughing, Huo Wuji also smiled faintly and said: "In fact, alchemy is also a kind of science, and it can be regarded as a kind of chemical philosophy in the Middle Ages, and it is the prototype of contemporary chemistry. In addition, wasn't gunpowder, one of the four great inventions of ancient China, also invented by alchemists in the process of alchemy? So, little brother, don't look at alchemy with colored glasses! ”

"Okay...... I admit that alchemy does have a certain scientific component, but ......" Jiang Shaoyou said with a wry smile: "But that was in ancient times, when people's scientific knowledge was generally not high, it played a certain role in promoting. And now, does this alchemy still have any value? ”

Now Jiang Shaoyou has basically concluded that this Huo Wuji is actually an old liar at all! Of course, people like him, in ancient times, would be called some kind of charlatan, but in the final analysis, they all cheated money by fooling people.

The only thing that made Jiang Shaoyou feel puzzled was how could this Huo Wuji come out with a net worth of hundreds of millions by fooling people? It's just breathtaking! Could it be that the rich people in the country are all guys with low IQs?

"Of course ......there is," Huo Wuji said, "I know that as soon as you hear that alchemists pursue immortality as the goal, you will think of the ancient emperor's delusion to obtain the elixir of immortality through alchemy. Then I can tell you very solemnly...... If you want to refine the elixir of immortality, it is impossible! Life and death are the natural laws of the cycle of heaven and earth, and it is impossible for anyone to change them. It's just that...... Everyone will die one day, but there are some special ways we can delay it. If a person is about to die because of the aging of the body, because of the loss of vitality in the body, it is no longer a situation that can be saved by any medicine. But if I can let this person live for three or five years, even even ten days and half a month more, through the action of some external forces, wouldn't this also be equivalent to increasing his life? So...... What I mean by immortality here is not what you understand to mean immortality, but the meaning of prolonging life, and I say so, do you understand? ”

"Extend life! So that's it! ”

When Jiang Shaoyou heard this, he really faced up to the alchemy that Huo Wuji said! Although most people would still be skeptical after hearing Huo Wuji say this, Jiang Shaoyou knew that this was not an impossible thing, and even he himself had the ability to renew the life of the old man in his twilight years.

Although Jiang Shaoyou doesn't think that there are other people in this world who have this special superpower like him, he does not rule out the possibility that someone can achieve the same goal through other methods. Perhaps, Huo Wuji is such a strange person, but it is not known, otherwise if he really just relies on cheating, it is estimated that he can only make a small fuss, saying that he has completely relied on fraud to get such a big family business, Jiang Shaoyou really doesn't believe it.

Jiang Shaoyou looked at the brocade box that Huo Wuji casually put on the table, the box contained the piece of gold that Jiang Shaoyou sold to Huo Wuji, and then asked curiously: "Mr. Huo, could it be that the special method you mentioned needs to use this kind of gold with high purity?" ”

Huo Wuji nodded and said, "Of course...... If not, how could I have paid so much for this gold? It's just that you don't think that I will suffer a loss if I spend more than 10 million yuan to buy your piece of gold, and its practical piece of gold, combined with some other high-purity metals, plus some special jade gems and other raw materials, is enough for me to make more than a dozen necklaces. In terms of the condition of pure gold on this day, the health effect of the necklace will be very good, and it will not be a problem for me to sell a necklace for more than $100 million at that time. ”

"Of course...... Alchemy is a risk involved in making this kind of jewelry, and there is a high failure rate, once it fails, these high-purity metals will blend with each other, and it is not so easy to re-purify, and it can be said that these raw materials are basically wasted! But...... Even if I succeeded only once in these dozen or so productions, I would have made almost ten times the profit. And if I can succeed two or three times, then I will make a lot of money! ”

Jiang Shaoyou's eyes widened when he heard this, and he secretly marveled at how easy this alchemy technique was! No wonder Huo Wuji can own such a luxurious manor. It is said that no matter how high the value of this manor is, it is worth hundreds of millions of dollars at most, but for Huo Wuji, hundreds of millions of dollars are just a few necklaces to earn, this is really a profession with a lot of money!

But then Jiang Shaoyou said suspiciously: "But according to what you said before, Mr. Huo, since the records of human beings, there have not been a few pieces of pure gold in this day, so if you alchemists have to use pure gold to make this kind of jewelry with longevity effect, then how many teenagers can wait for an opportunity?" ”

Huo Wuji smiled and said, "You don't understand this little brother!" I just said that using this piece of heavenly gold is the best material to make this kind of jewelry, but I didn't say that it would not work without heavenly pure gold? Since we are called alchemists, we naturally have some means of condensing metal. Even if you can't smelt copper and iron into gold, it is not a problem to refine some metal raw materials. It's just that the high-purity metal obtained by this artificial refining method is a little purer than the gold and other materials in the gold store, but it can't be compared with Tianzu gold at all. Therefore, the jewelry made of our own quenched metal materials is naturally much worse than the jewelry made of real Tianzu gold as raw materials in terms of prolonging life! ”

Seeing Jiang Shaoyou staring at himself in a daze, Huo Wuji thought that Jiang Shaoyou didn't believe his words at all, so he said: "You wait a while, I'll go get a necklace I made before and give you a feeling, you should believe what I said." ”

Huo Wuji got up and walked out of the restaurant as he spoke, and went upstairs by himself, and after a while, he saw him walking down with a rectangular jewelry box in his hand, putting the jewelry box on the table, opening it gently, and suddenly saw a silver light reflecting his eyelids.

I saw that there was a silver necklace in this box, and from the appearance alone, this chain seemed to be made of platinum, but the luster of this metal was a little more dazzling than ordinary platinum. The body of the chain is not formed by metal traps like traditional necklaces, but is made of tiny scales like snake scales, and these scales are stacked layer by layer, and each scale is carved with some very intricate patterns, which looks exquisite.

Underneath this chain, there is also a heart-shaped pendant of mutton fat jade. After the gambling stone, Jiang Shaoyou also had some research on some jewelry and jade, and from the perspective of color, the quality of this jade is quite good, even if it does not reach the top level, it is almost the same.

However, what amazed Jiang Shaoyou the most was the inlay process of this jade, generally the pendant on the necklace is to make a ring on it, and then connect the chain to the ring of this pendant, which is considered to be the end. Sometimes, in order to keep the jade pendant intact, it will also be directly made into a nest with gold and silver and other metals, and then the jade will be embedded in it, and then connected to the chain.

However, Huo Wuji's necklace made the snake-like chain directly penetrate into the jade from the two ends of the heart-shaped jade pendant, and connect together in the jade. Generally speaking, this way of drilling the metal chain into the jade pendant will mostly destroy a good piece of jade, and the good end of the jade is drilled out of two holes, no matter how you look at it, it should be very awkward.

However, this necklace will not make people feel awkward, and even make people feel as if it should be so, at first glance, it will even make people mistakenly think that these two metal chains are simply grown from the jade pendant, this inlay method is simply ingenious!

Regardless of the material of this necklace, or whether this chain really has the miraculous effect of prolonging life, this exquisite workmanship alone is already breathtaking! It is no wonder that Huo Wuji is known as the most famous jewelry designer in the United States, even if he is not mentioned as an alchemist, just in terms of jewelry design, he has indeed reached the level of a master.

Seeing this, Jiang Shaoyou couldn't help but praise from the bottom of his heart: "Mr. Huo...... Oh no...... Master Huo! This necklace you made is so perfect that even if it didn't have any other special purpose, I think the rich would have willingly paid a huge amount of money to buy it! ”

Huo Wuji smiled and said, "Little brother praises it, in fact, if this necklace doesn't have any special effects, then even if it can be auctioned for $500,000 in the auction house, it will be considered a sky-high price!" But for those who know what it's really used for, even if you bid 50 million, it won't feel too expensive! Little brother, you might as well wear this necklace on your body and feel it, and you will know that what I said is true! ”

Jiang Shaoyou didn't think much about it when he heard this, nodded and said, "Okay...... Then you're welcome. ”

Jiang Shaoyou said, took the necklace out of the jewelry box, then untied the buckle on it, gently put it around his neck, and then put the buckle back on.

But...... Just after Jiang Shaoyou straightened the necklace and put the heart-shaped jade pendant close to his heart, he suddenly felt a strange energy penetrate into his body along the jade pendant, and then spread to his whole body with the flow of blood.

Wherever this energy passes, it is as if it is blown by a gentle spring breeze, which fills people's whole body with a sense of lazy comfort. It's just that this feeling is very comfortable, but it is so comfortable that it makes people drowsy and can't lift up a little energy. It was as if the whole world had become blurry in front of his eyes......
