Chapter 609: An Effective Life-Prolonging Elixir
An hour later, in Mireya's pharmacy, Lu Li sat at the counter with his chin propped up, staring at a gray squirrel with a large amount of white fur in a cage not far away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Of course, this is not an ordinary gray squirrel, but a gray squirrel that is about to reach the end of its life, and due to its age, its muscles have become flabby, its eyes have begun to drift, and it is said that it will not eat for a day or two.
However, just ten minutes ago, the female elf doctor poured it a little bit of the so-called life-prolonging potion, so both of them waited for a miracle to happen.
"How likely do you think this potion is true?" Lu Li asked without looking back.
Although he didn't think Kaduma would lie to himself, he was subconsciously skeptical of the idea of living longer.
According to scientists, the lifespan of mammals is usually five to seven times longer than the growth cycle.
This also means that the life expectancy of human beings cannot theoretically exceed 100 to 140 years old, plus factors such as sleep, diet, disease, genetic defects, etc., at most 70 or 80 years old can be regarded as longevity, and those over 90 years old are absolutely rare.
But now suddenly there is a medicine that claims to be able to forcibly prolong life, no matter how old the person who takes it, as long as he drinks it, he can live for another ten years immediately, no matter how he listens, it is a bit of a braggart.
Mireya took a magnifying glass with twenty yuan free shipping on a treasure network, carefully observed the eyes of the old gray squirrel, and replied with a pout: "You ask me, who do I ask?" The essence of pharmacy is to extract the special ingredients of magic plants and transform them into potions that can be quickly absorbed by the body. If the Life Extension Potion is really useful, it means that there is a magical plant on the continent that has not yet been discovered and can prolong life. Okay, be quiet, don't you see I'm researching?"
"Haven't you been discovered......" Lu Li's chin was messy, and a hint of clarity flashed in his eyes.
Because he suddenly remembered that the great discoveries of life on the earth originated from the great geographical discoveries, and the great geographical discoveries originated from the progress of European navigation technology.
The current technology of the other world is still at a very backward level, let alone entering the windy and rough ocean to explore the entire planet, even a little away from the land is prone to accidents, most of the wooden ships can only sail along the coastline, and some are even primitive paddle boats.
The impossibility of exploring the ocean meant many unknown islands, one of which may have been discovered by Kaduma's ancestors.
After another three or five minutes, Mireya suddenly shouted, "Look! There is a reaction! There is a reaction!"
"What?!What's the reaction?"
Lu Li hurriedly approached, only to find at a glance that the old gray squirrel's white fur was turning black at a speed visible to the naked eye, and at the same time, the loose muscles were also tensed again, and the two black eyes were dripping around, and they slammed into the jerky placed in the cage, squeaking and gnawing.
"Incredible! It's incredible! Do you see it? It's young again! A gray squirrel has a lifespan of only three years at most, but this gray squirrel that has lived for two and a half years and is about to die miraculously returns to its prime. Mireya exclaimed excitedly.
As a forest elf who always maintains her grace, it was the first time she had behaved so gaffe.
Lu Li took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, while suppressing his heartbeat to prevent the golden flames from overflowing, and finally didn't let his eyes turn into lava.
As his heartbeat was once again controlled to less than ten beats per minute, he asked, "You mean, this life-prolonging elixir is useful? What is its principle? Why does it make the body young again?"
Mireya bit her lip and thought about it for a long time, before finally saying with an unwilling face: "I'm sorry, I can't give you an accurate answer." Since the potion contained more than a dozen magical plants with similar effects, I had no way of telling which one was actually playing the main role. But you can leave a bottle, and I will try to crack it slowly, whether it is ten years, twenty years, thirty years, one hundred years, two hundred years, I will continue to study it, and one day I will be able to solve the mystery. ”
"Two hundred years, two hundred years from now, my body will be buried in the ground and rotting. The corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched and complained.
Many experts on the planet have mentioned that the greatest injustice in society is the unfair distribution of wealth and resources, whether in the era of slavery, feudalism, industrial capital, or now the age of financial capital, it will always be a very small number of people who have more wealth and resources, and then pass on the crisis to the masses who have less wealth.
But he only realized today that the distribution of wealth in another world is not the biggest injustice, but the length of life is.
Some races, such as elves, goblins, dwarves and other immortal races, can easily live for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they can slowly learn, study, and experience the beauty of life.
But short-lived races such as humans, cat people, rabbit people, lion people, and wild boar people basically enter old age at the age of sixty or seventy, and even adventurers favored by the gods are not able to survive until they are one hundred and twenty to one hundred and forty years old, and even if they earn more wealth, they do not have enough life to enjoy.
"Damn! Don't interrupt! I'll leave a bottle! I swear, I'll be able to figure out something before you die of old age!" Mireya exclaimed, waving her arms and exclaiming.
As a pharmacist, she was exposed to a potion she had never seen before, and she naturally had a strong desire to explore, and if she couldn't figure out which ingredient prolonged her life, she would probably lose sleep at night.
"Okay, I'm afraid of you, just opened the bottle and left the head office. Lu Li smiled bitterly and raised his hand to indicate surrender.
But any man with a modicum of emotional intelligence understands that he should never try to reason with a woman when she is crazy, and he is no exception.
Anyway, it's just a bottle of life extension potion, and you can get three bottles every two months in the future, so there's no need to worry about it.
What's more, if you really research something, it will make a lot of money.
"Thank you! Now please take your things and leave immediately! I will immediately study the transformation of this gray squirrel!"
Getting what she wanted, Mireya quickly gave the order to evict the guest, and at the same time carried the cage into the back room.
Lu Li even saw the female elf take out the full set of dissection tools and microscopes that she had given before, and she knew without asking that this was definitely going to dismantle the gray squirrel to pieces.
After a second of silence for the poor mouse, he grabbed the tools in his leather pocket to make the Eye Prying Eyes, turned and pushed the door open and walked out.
