Reborn As Super Heiress

Chapter 1592: Chapter 1576: Glacier Ganoderma

This...

Huo Sining immediately widened her eyes, looking at her fingers in disbelief.

If it weren’t for the obvious bloodstains still on the ground, she would surely have thought it was just an illusion.

This liquid turned out to be even more powerful than her Spirit of Azure Pearl!

”This is the effect of this thing: bringing the dead back to life, regenerating flesh on bones, more precisely, it’s the Elixir of Life,” Mr. Liang said.

Huo Sining was shocked at the words: ”The Elixir of Life? How is that possible?”

Mr. Liang nodded: ”The so-called Elixir of Life is not as exaggerated as the legends say; it’s actually just an anti-aging potion. As far as I know, this elixir is refined by the Sea Merfolk using the Ancient Immortal Mountain Fountain Water. The Jiao people consume this spring water, which allows them to live for thousands of years. Although it doesn’t grant immortality, compared to the human lifespan of several decades or a century, it can be considered a miraculous effect.”

Huo Sining still couldn’t believe it; this was too incredible. Was there really an Elixir of Life in this world? Doesn’t that contradict the natural growth laws?

But then she thought again and felt it was not right. When she used Spirit of Azure Pearl, couldn’t she also heal wounds and restore vitality to plants?

Thinking of this, Huo Sining looked at the seven-colored liquid in Mr. Liang’s hand with an odd expression. After a moment of silence, she looked up and fixed her gaze on Mr. Liang:

”You went through so much trouble, following those Oil Rats everywhere to rob tombs, just to find this thing?”

Mr. Liang said nothing, but Huo Sining felt something was off: ”Can this thing cure the strange conditions on your body now?”

Mr. Liang sighed and said, ”Whether it can cure or not is unknown, but there’s always a glimmer of hope. If, and I’m saying if, it does cure it, one day we’ll be able to appear by your side openly. I didn’t expect your situation to be even more complicated than ours, but now it seems your fate is better than ours. No matter what you choose in the future, you won’t need to hide like us.”

Huo Sining heard the unusual tone in Mr. Liang’s words and instinctively grabbed the keyword: ”Us? Who else?”

Upon hearing Huo Sining’s question, Mr. Liang realized he had misspoken and quickly dodged his gaze, replying evasively: ”It’s nothing. After all, many things can’t be explained in just a few words. When there’s a chance, I’ll explain it to you in detail. I’ll take this elixir; explain it well to Miss Yue. If necessary, offer some compensation.”

Saying this, Mr. Liang prepared to leave. But after walking just a few steps, he suddenly thought of something, turned around, and took out an item from his bosom, tossing it to Huo Sining:

”This thing, I think you might need.”

Huo Sining instinctively caught it, and upon looking at it in her hand, she found it was a square wooden box, and she asked confusedly: ”What is this?”

Mr. Liang waved his hand carelessly: ”A few years ago, I went with a group of tomb raiders to Kunlun Mountain and robbed a Glacier Ancient Tomb. Inside, I found this and took it back. It’s useless to me, but it’ll surely be useful to you. Consider it a little compensation for intercepting the Elixir of Life you painstakingly got.”

Hearing this, Huo Sining opened the box and saw inside a dry, wooden-like Ganoderma.

Huo Sining had seen many Ganoderma: black, red, yellow, brown, but never one as crystal white as this, almost like the color of white mushrooms.

However, as soon as she held the Ganoderma and opened the box, she smelled a sweet fragrance, and her hand was filled with Spiritual Energy.

Huo Sining was stunned, remembering this Ganoderma was from the Glacier Ancient Tomb on Kunlun Mountain, and its form reminded her of the mysterious ancient medicine formula Bai Buzhi mentioned to her, recorded in ”Shu Jun’s Herbal Collection,” which included several cancer-treating medicines, including one called Glacier Ganoderma.

Huo Sining, with her mind stirred, already understood Mr. Liang’s intention.

This should indeed be the Glacier Ganoderma she was looking for, and that’s why Mr. Liang said she could use it.

Her heart rose in joy, and Huo Sining abruptly raised her head, wanting to say thank you.

But when she raised her head, she was stunned.

The man who had been standing not far from her, cloaked, had left without her noticing, and now there was no one in front of her.

Huo Sining felt a sense of loss. Even though she knew Mr. Liang was surely hiding something from her, she still had feelings for him, but he left so straightforwardly, leaving her somewhat disappointed.

With a shake of her head to dismiss the thoughts, she placed the Glacier Ganoderma back into her ring, and then released Gu Xu, Qibao, and Miss Yue.

Sure enough, as soon as Miss Yue came out, the first thing she did was question Huo Sining: ”Where is the person who snatched our thing? Wearing a cloak and being all mysterious, who does he think he is?!”

Seeing Miss Yue’s fiery demeanor, Huo Sining instinctively touched her nose.

She knew it would come to this, so she let Mr. Liang go first, otherwise, with Miss Yue’s persistent attitude, Mr. Liang would surely have a hard time taking away the vial, and it would take a lot of trouble.

Huo Sining replied with a face of feigned bewilderment: ”Huh, where is he? He was lying right here just now, how did he disappear in a blink?”

Miss Yue didn’t catch the playful glint in Huo Sining’s eyes and, still angry, she was utterly irate: ”Ran away again? Damn it, we worked so hard to get that thing!”

Unlike Miss Yue’s concern, Gu Xu and Qibao, upon coming out and seeing the vast lake before them, were bewildered: ”Where are we?”

Huo Sining replied: ”Here is where we entered the underground maze earlier, the mountain behind the Sacrificial Forest of Miao Village.”

Upon hearing this, Miss Yue finally realized something was wrong, staring wide-mouthed at the endless lake:

”When we went in, there was no lake. Could it be that one day in the mountain is a thousand years in the world? What time is it now? We didn’t travel to the future, did we?”

Hearing this naive statement, Huo Sining rolled her eyes in annoyance. Time travel? Would you think you’re writing a novel?

Over there, Qibao was also shocked, staring dumbfounded at the clear lake water for a long time before speaking softly: ”So, this is what Amu called the Wrath of the Divine Mountain.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Sining and the others couldn’t help but be curious: ”The Wrath of the Divine Mountain, what does that mean?”
