Chapter 10: The Hunt for Blood Orchid

Life is precious, and there must be people who are impatient to die while living, but they are always only a small number of individuals.

The vast majority of people don't want to die, for them it is sure that the longer they live, the better, and for those who are really rich and powerful, it is no longer about trying to live longer.

They will inevitably ponder the possibility of immortality to a greater or lesser extent, the difference is only that some people just think about it irrepressibly, but they themselves still tend to think about it "rationally", and will not really waste time and energy on these ethereal legends.

But some people have really started to act, and even invested heavily in this area, just to capture that ethereal possibility.

Anyway, for them, money is really already a number, even if they don't do anything anymore, maintaining the status quo will automatically accumulate...... But for them, there is really only one life left.

The closer I get to death, the more I feel the candle of life faltering and weak, and the various functions of my body are aging, becoming weaker and weaker, more and more aging, and I feel more and more tormented......

Or ordinary people will think that euthanasia is the best choice, and there is no point in continuing to live, just lingering and suffering.

However, rich people have a little more hope and opportunity than ordinary people, and it is precisely because they have truly experienced what can be called "wealth" that they are even more reluctant to let go, and there will definitely be people desperate to seize the ethereal legend.

Even the slightest possibility is good, at least it is possible to gamble, if you don't gamble, there will be nothing.

Besides, with so much money, they will definitely not be able to take it with them after they die, so why can't they take out a small part of it and open up a new future for themselves?

Mo Chen specially selected such an object to start, which can be said to have no psychological burden.

First, such people are rich, second, such people are afraid of death, and third, such people are the most able to keep secrets - after all, if they can even share secrets related to the possibility of immortality, or have the consciousness of "handing over to the state", they will not work so hard to make such a big fortune.

Ordinary money can be earned under the premise of abiding by the law, but if the money reaches a certain point, then that kind of person is absolutely impossible to be a good citizen who follows the rules and abides by the law.

Mo Chen himself really doesn't have any burden to attack such a person, and he doesn't mean that he plans to kill the other party directly and seek money or something...... It's just a matter of taking what you need.

They want to continue their lives, while Mo Chen needs a lot of money, and if Mo Chen doesn't do this, no matter how much money is wasted, the former will definitely not be able to continue his life......

In that case, why waste the advantages of both sides?

……

……

"Please be careful, sir."

After the private yacht leaves the main channel, it quickly sails into the depths of the intricate tributaries. The dusk of the river is rough and open, but it is dim because of the dense jungle on both sides.

"No, I'm fine...... Cedric, you know what? It's the first time in years that I've felt this good. ”

Tracy Williams shook his head, and gently raised his hand to reject the strong man next to him, who was also a bodyguard, and wanted to reach out to support his kindness.

The old man, whose hair had turned completely gray, stood on the bow of a speeding yacht, his eyes were bright, his body was not robust, but it was not weak, and his voice was not high in decibels, but it was full of energy.

But the butler named Sidrik next to him knew very well what the other party's body was like.

- Strictly speaking, just three days ago this old man, despite his equally prestigious reputation, had been bedridden for most of the day.

Walking in a wheelchair, unable to climb the stairs by himself, and even something as simple as reaching for a glass of water was a challenge under his irrepressibly trembling palms.

But now, apart from his appearance, he hasn't changed much, and it's almost like a different person.

He was very surprised, but he also knew very well what the reason for this was, otherwise, he would definitely oppose this risky behavior...... In fact, he is now against it as well.

"Sir, I think your condition has improved significantly, but since this is the case, it is all the more important to follow the doctor's instructions and ensure that a good rest is the best choice."

He looked at the mercenaries who were driving the yacht and were busy making various preparations, and said thoughtfully.

"You can leave this matter to them, and you should be able to rest assured that they don't have to make such a trip yourself......"

"I'm relieved, but I have to do it myself." Tracy stared at the narrowing river at the end of the river, and said in a tone without a hint of fluctuation, "Sidric, you've been with me for ten years, you must know how my health is......"

"Three days ago, I couldn't even live without a wheelchair, and if I can continue to live this year, it will be God's mercy...... But now, I feel like I'm better than ever, and I even feel like I'm back to when I was younger! ”

The old man lowered his head and looked at his wrinkled arms, and finally there was a slight change in his calm face.

"All of this can be said to be due to the effect of that special drug, which has allowed me to regain a certain degree of vitality, at least I no longer have to lie in bed to hang my life...... But, but you know—"

"It's incomplete, and it's diminished! Although my current state should not have any side effects, it will not last long at all, and it will not really solve my problem fundamentally! ”

As he spoke, the old man's words became more and more sonorous, and he seemed to be somewhat excited.

“……”

Cedric opened his mouth, but could not say anything to refute it, for he understood what the old man meant.

Tracy, who has a personal fortune of up to four or five billion US dollars, is of course not a fool, even if he is already decayed and old, but the choices he makes are still based on the consideration of various factors and the decision is made after careful consideration.

It would never be said that the eyes were red and the brain was hot, and a rash decision was made directly as soon as the head was patted.

Cedric knew why, and just three days ago, news suddenly came from a private laboratory that the old man had been supporting for several years and that was not owned by the company, saying that it had achieved breakthrough "results" in some way.

In the case that many previous projects could not progress or were terminated, this time they seemed to have made a breakthrough in a certain "legend" because the old man had invested enough money and made a miraculous breakthrough!

A seemingly illusory possibility has actually made achievements in some aspects that should have been ignorant and superstitious under the premise that various scientific theories and technologies in the past could not be established or could not see hope.

It is said that they found some strange samples based on an ancient legend in Southeast Asia, the body of which seemed to be some kind of witchcraft medicine tossed by the locals, because of the ancient age, no one dared to use it.

The lab analyzed the ingredients, and somehow, remade the ancient witchcraft drug and divided it into several parts, only to find a problem when it was tested-

It really has the effect of rejuvenating the body functions of living beings to a certain extent, and no side effects have been found for the time being...... And that's enough.

After all, Tracy Williams has no choice at all, he has money, power and means, but it can't change the cruelty of the facts. He had half a foot in the grave, so any glimmer of hope was desperate to grasp.

Especially after experiencing the magical effect of that "initial result" himself, he seems to really see the hope of success. However, at this time, those top talents under his command actually told him-

Without sufficient materials and key data, even with considerable financial support, it is impossible for them to continue to break through the subsequent difficulties without even raw materials.

And even if the raw materials are sufficient, according to their estimates, it may take five to ten years to actually produce results......

After all, the current so-called "results" are actually the effects of an ancient witchcraft drug, and they have not made a real breakthrough. In short, they are not "inventions", but only "discoveries".

But this is not good news for the elderly, five to ten years? What a joke, his bones were going to turn to slag at that time!

"I've also read about Blood Orchid, if the legend is correct...... No, the legend must be true, otherwise I wouldn't be like this. ”

Tracy said lightly, "Their result is actually to make better use of the effect of the blood orchid, since it can't make a breakthrough in a short period of time, then I am very willing to accept its own effect." ”

It's like trying to achieve certain effects, but it doesn't mean that only taking laxatives is effective, and just eating croton can't solve the problem.

This was the case for the old man, who knew that he could not wait for the appearance of the finished medicine, so there was only one choice left, and that was to eat the medicine itself directly...... Anyway, as long as the effect is the same, there is nothing that is unacceptable.

The reason why he can't wait to come over now is that he is worried that his current state will not last long, after all, the witchcraft drug is said to be very old, and the effect must have lost a lot.

He wants to come with him while he is still in good shape, so that he doesn't have to rush over again if something goes wrong...... I'm afraid that I don't have to die directly on the road, then it will be really sad.

"But, sir, that drug has only been able to confirm the presence of botanical ingredients at the moment, and it is not possible to confirm that the blood orchid really exists...... Sidrik said softly.

"It's not a problem, it's not a blood orchid or something else, anyway, it can at least prove that there is indeed an unknown plant in the depths of this primeval jungle, which has a powerful effect of rejuvenating people's cells." Tracy was unimpressed.

“…… But the problem is that we haven't been able to determine the location of that plant until now. ”

The old man frowned slightly, and glanced back at the yacht that was gradually stopping, and the mercenaries who were moving quickly—this was because the river in front of him was no longer suitable for sailing, and it was necessary to replace it with a speedboat.

"No news at all?"

"There are no exact clues, just vague points to the deepest part of the jungle...... We speculate that there is an unexplored wilderness, and the treacherous geography is a natural protective barrier for all kinds of rare flora and fauna. ”

Cedric hesitated, and added in a somewhat strange tone—

"The information provided by the local natives is also inaccurate, and in their language, when we say Blood Orchid, we actually mean "the blood of the dragon king...... They say that there is a dragon king guarding the existence of Blood Orchid. ”
