At night, Ren Baqian returned to his house in the beast park. He carried the two jars containing the six-horned dragon and the green toad respectively.
He stuffed the formula and seeds of the black mud cream in front of his chest and fell into a deep sleep.
He didn't know when he fell asleep, but he subconsciously turned over and almost knocked the jar upside down, waking him up with a start.
He opened his eyes. Although it was dark around him, he could still tell that he had returned to his bedroom in China.
He moved the two jars to one side, switched on the lights, and opened the mesh cover. He was relieved to see that the two fellows were still alive and kicking inside.
He covered the lid again and looked at the time. It was not yet four o 'clock. Since he couldn't sleep, he went to the living room to watch a movie on the television.
When he wanted to go out for breakfast in the morning, he realized that it was a little cold outside.
He looked at the date and realized that he had been to the other world five times. Each time, he was there for nine days. Adding the three days on Earth, it was a total of twelve days. These five times meant that he had been there for two months. It was already September.
He went back to the house and found a jacket that he used to wear. It was a little tight on his body, and it seemed that he had put on weight recently.
He looked at himself in the mirror. His face didn't seem to have put on much weight, but his body shape was indeed more shapely than before.
He went out for breakfast before calling Chen Qing.
These few days, Chen Qing had called him twice, but as usual, no one picked up. Other than him, there was another call from Chen Bing.
"You rascal, you have been missing for such a long time again. Your whereabouts are getting more and more unpredictable …" Chen Qing ranted for a long time after picking up the call.
"I have the formula for the black mud cream," Ren Baqian said plainly.
"Ah? Where are you? "Chen Qing didn't have time to complain to Ren Baqian and immediately asked.
"I will send it to your father's company in a while. Speaking of which, has the research on the black mud cream been organized? "
"I don't know the specifics. I didn't ask much. However, it seems that the core personnel are still lacking. It should be done soon. Once your formula is here, I reckon that we can start. "
"Alright, I will be there in a while." Ren Baqian hung up the phone and went back to move everything into the car. He drove to a foreign trade shop to buy some casual clothes before heading to Chen Qing's father's company.
When Chen Qing saw him alight from the car, he went over and gave him a bear hug. Following which, he asked doubtfully, "Have you been putting on some weight recently? You've become much stronger. "
Ren Baqian smiled and said, "You've put on some weight."
Looking at Chen Qing, he was still the same. Nothing had changed. Ren Baqian joked, "You and Jiang Nan are about to get engaged, so stop wandering around. Be careful that you need to take medicine in the future. "
"Don't worry, I've been paying attention. I've been taking the medicine prescribed by an old Chinese doctor for more than half a year," Chen Qing said with a laugh.
Ren Baqian couldn't help but give a thumbs up. "You're indeed far-sighted."
"You brought everything? Let's go up. "Chen Qing pulled Ren Baqian along.
"Wait, he's still in the car." Ren Baqian turned around and took out a box filled with waste paper from the trunk. He took out two cans from the box and stuffed one of them into Chen Qing's hands. "Take it, be careful."
"What is this?" Chen Qing asked curiously.
Ren Baqian carried one himself, and the two of them stepped into the building.
Chen Qing's father was waiting for the two of them in his office. Other than him, there was also a middle-aged couple.
"Uncle Chen." Ren Baqian nodded and greeted him as he entered.
"Yes, Baqian is here. Let me introduce you. This is Professor Sun Qing and this is Professor Xu Shan. Both of them are experts in the field of medicine. Both of them heard about the effects of the black mud cream and were very interested in it. That's why they came back from overseas. "
"Hello." Ren Baqian nodded at the two of them. Xu Shan returned a smile, but Guo Qing seemed to be thinking about something. It was as if she didn't hear what Chen Qing's father said and didn't see Ren Baqian.
Ren Baqian didn't feel that he was being left out. He heard that many researchers were eccentric and didn't know the ways of the world. This Sun Qing might be one of those people.
Ren Baqian and Chen Qing placed the cans on the table.
"What's this?" Chen Qing's father asked.
"Two of the ingredients, the formula and the seeds, I've brought them with me." Ren Baqian took out the formula and placed it on the table.
Chen Qing took a glance at it and exclaimed softly, "What are these? Qingyang grass? Harpy? What a weird name. "
Hearing Chen Qing's words, Xu Shan walked over and asked, "Can I take a look?"
Ren Baqian glanced at Chen Qing's father. Chen Qing's father nodded, "Sure, the contract has been signed and there's nothing to hide. I'll hand it over to you sooner or later. "
Xu Shan picked up the formula and looked at it. She had a puzzled look on her face, "What are these?"
Ren Baqian naturally knew what was written on the formula, but he didn't know what was written on it. If Ren Baqian didn't bring the real thing back, there would be no difference between this formula and not having it.
Ren Baqian took out a paper bag from his pocket. There were six or seven small bags in it and all of them had words written on them.
"It should be a different name, just like how there are so many names for pigs. I've brought the seeds back, we'll know when we plant them. "
The rest of them agreed with Ren Baqian's explanation.
They compared the words and the formula on the paper bag one by one. All the plants matched.
The remaining three were related to animals. "This earth dragon is an earthworm, right?" Xu Shan raised her head and looked at Ren Baqian.
"Yes. The other two are in this jar, "Ren Baqian said.
"Hexagonal dragon, it should be an amblystoma. Many of them are raised for ornamental purposes. Why is it in the formula? Furthermore, this kind of creature is mainly found in Mexico. It shouldn't have existed in the past. It seems like this formula hasn't been around for a long time. However, why did the person who wrote this formula keep it in his hands all this time? I've never heard of it before. "
If it was said that the ancient formula was just discovered and sorted out by someone, then it was very likely that everyone knew about it. However, if it was developed in the past few decades, why didn't anyone know about it? This was rather strange.
"Take a look at this hexagonal dragon. Is it what you said it is?" Ren Baqian opened the jar first. Without waiting for Xu Shan to speak, Chen Qing spoke first.
"Isn't this the hexagonal dragon raised at home? It's for ornamental purposes, but it can actually be used to make medicine? "
"Yes, it is." Xu Shan confirmed.
Ren Baqian thought for a while and said, "The hexagonal dragon is used as a substitute. In the past, it was an animal called Pingkouyuan. Later on, it was discovered that the hexagonal dragon was more effective. Hence, it was used as the main ingredient. Look at the back of the formula. Pingkouyuan, this is the previous formula. "
Ren Baqian immediately swapped the original and substitute ingredients. Anyway, he didn't write which was the original ingredient and which was the substitute.
Xu Shan saw that it was indeed Pingkouyuan and felt relieved.
"The recovery ability of the hexagonal dragon is very strong, and so is the earth dragon. It is indeed possible to make use of this special effect to make medicine." Xu Shan was deep in thought.
"In that case, we are still missing a green toad. What is it?"
Ren Baqian opened the lid of the largest jar. The few of them peeked their heads over and saw a brown frog that was the size of two palms. It looked like a toad. However, its size was a little too big.
"This is a green toad?"
"Yes, but you must be careful. This thing is very rare and is almost extinct. It wasn't easy to get this one. This kind of green toad likes to eat honey. Dip a wooden stick in the honey and it will lick it to get its saliva. In addition, you must be careful. It is very poisonous. "
"How poisonous? Among the frog species, the most poisonous frogs are brightly colored. Although this one is slightly bigger, it doesn't look like it is very poisonous. "Sun Qing walked over and said.
"Generally speaking, with the exception of a few, most poisonous creatures will also make themselves very bright to warn their natural enemies. 'See? I am very dangerous. ' Only weak creatures will form a protective color that is similar to the color of the surrounding environment. This is the choice of evolution for thousands of years. " As Sun Qing explained to the few of them, he put his hand into the jar. He seemed to be very confident in his knowledge.
Obviously, in his knowledge, there were no such highly poisonous frogs like the ones in the jar.
"This kind of green toad is really poisonous," Ren Baqian warned.
"Don't worry. Even if it is really poisonous, as long as there are no wounds on your hands, it will be fine." As Sun Qing spoke, he put his hand into the jar and touched the back of the green toad. Immediately, the green toad moved restlessly in the jar and let out a 'gurgle' sound. The sound was dull and a little like the roar of thunder.
Ren Baqian looked at Sun Qing's actions and didn't continue to speak. Well, you are a senior intellectual. You are a Ph.D. You have the final say.
