"Forget about the money. If I ask, my master will not accept it."
Ding Ning was too embarrassed to take his money again. The Master of the Divine Burin, who was so popular to outsiders, was him. Besides, it only took a few minutes to carve a jade sculpture. They were all sworn brothers, so the money was a bit troublesome to hold.
"No, I won't rest assured if you don't accept the money. It's your honor to ask the Master of the Divine Burin to carve a sculpture, but I can't be impolite. Maybe I will ask your master to do it in the future. Don't I accept money every time?"
Prince Hengli was so serious that he was stubborn, just like the British people's paranoia about gentlemanly manners, so Ding Ning was in a dilemma for a while and looked at Bai Qing for help.
"Take it. After all, it's your master who will do it. Besides, our eldest brother is a prince and doesn't lack money."
Bai Qing looked at this scene with a smile, but he smiled bitterly in his heart. He had long heard that the works of the Master of the Divine Burin had been hyped up to a sky-high price. At that time, he had suffered a loss when he exchanged his villa for the jade sculpture, but now it seemed that he had gained a big bargain.
"Fourth brother, just take it. Besides, it's not Hengli who pays for it, but the royal family. If you don't want it, it won't fall into Hengli's hands, and he has no place to spend money."
Halidan persuaded him with a smirk. Ding Ning agreed with him. With Hengli's status, he didn't need to spend money, so he immediately accepted the bank card with embarrassment. "Then I will accept it on behalf of my master, and I can carve it for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, brother. Then I'll leave it to you!"
Prince Hengli beamed and gave Ding Ning a big hug, which made Ding Ning not know whether to laugh or cry. "Why is he so happy to give me money?"
"This is my reward. Don't refuse it. Although we are sworn brothers, this is a different thing. Compared with my life, these things are insignificant."
Halidan reached out and handed over a Dibai Hotel's Ultimate Diamond Card and an internationally-used black bank card. Without any doubt, he stuffed them into Ding Ning's hands and winked mischievously. "You know your Third Brother has nothing. He is so poor that he only has money."
"Well, then it would be impolite of me to refuse."
Ding Ning knew that he couldn't refuse, so he had to accept them helplessly and thought about what to give as a gift.
Ding Ning's eyes suddenly brightened. He stretched out his hand and asked, "Do you have any accessories that you carry with you?"
"I have a jade pendant here. It was given to me by my mother."
Prince Hengli took off a jade pendant from his neck.
"Oh, I have a beeswax."
Halidan patted his head and took a piece of white rose-shaped beeswax from his neck, exuding a faint fragrance.
"Is this a piece of fragrant amber?"
Bai Qing, who was very keen on antiques and cultural relics, suddenly had his eyes light up. He grabbed it and carefully played with it, looking like he couldn't put it down and sincerely praised, "This is the real natural beeswax, not the so-called synthetic noble beeswax."
Beeswax? Ding Ning's expression stilled.
As one of the five treasures of traditional Chinese medicine, beeswax can relieve rheumatism, bone pain, nasal sensitivity, stomachache, high blood pressure, skin sensitivity, etc. After wearing it, the body will slowly absorb it and circulate it to the whole body through the blood, eliminating diseases. Different colors and varieties of beeswax have different effects.
Although he had long heard of beeswax, it was the first time for him to see it with his own eyes. After all, his circle of friends was not large, and they were either doctors or professors. Even if they liked beeswax, they would not wear it on their hands all the time.
Even Bai Qing, who liked to play with antiques and cultural relics, had never worn beeswax. For him, it was shameful to wear a fake one, he didn't like the inferior one, and it was difficult to buy the rare one.
Taking the beeswax from Bai Qing, Ding Ning suddenly trembled. Halidan thought that he was shocked and said proudly, "Although there are not many beeswax produced in the Middle East, it is absolutely a rare variety. If you like it, I will give it to you."
But he didn't know that at this moment, Ding Ning was shocked in his heart. As soon as he took the beeswax, he felt that a stream of energy excitedly entered his superpower space along his arm and quickly integrated into his superpower light ball. It was a little more energy than absorbing a superpower.
This made him inexplicably surprised and puzzled at the same time. How could there be superpower in this beeswax? Or in other words, how could there be sorcery power?
Activating Absolute Touch, the tissue structure of beeswax appeared in his brain. It was a kind of liquefied tree resin stone, amorphous, without a fixed internal atomic structure and external shape. The fracture was often shell-like, with a refractive index between 5 and a specific gravity between 05 and 10, and there were five extremely tiny blisters.
Everything seemed to be normal, and he didn't find the source of superpower. Ding Ning focused on the blisters and kept zooming in to check. The first one was empty, the second one was also empty … the fourth one … was still empty, which made him puzzled. Where did this superpower come from?
Until he checked the last blister, Ding Ning trembled all over with an unbelievable look on his face. In the blister, there was a mosquito-like creature with an extremely ferocious and horrible appearance, which was black and red and emitting a cold luster. Its mandible was slightly bulging.
Its blood-red body was covered with natural light black mysterious patterns, and its sharp and ferocious mouthparts were as sharp as needles. Its three pairs of compound eyes were still emitting a faint cold light even though tens of millions of years had passed, and its pair of powerful front pincers could firmly pin its prey.
This was the notorious prehistoric creature, Ancient Magic Mosquito. Its body was almost the size of a sesame seed, but its body seemed to contain a meson space. Even if a giant Tyrannosaurus rex was targeted by it, it could suck it dry in at most an hour.
Some scientists had found its ancient fossils. Research showed that it had the same storage ability as camels, which could transform the absorbed energy into fat and consume it slowly. Its vitality was extremely tenacious.
But no matter how strong its vitality was, it could not stand the erosion of tens of millions of years. Ding Ning was sure that this Ancient Magic Mosquito was completely dead. The reason why it still looked lifelike was that it was unfortunately wrapped in a drop of turpentine.
But what made him feel puzzled was that there was a faint breath of life in its slightly bulging abdomen.
"Is it the egg of the Magic Mosquito?" Ding Ning suddenly became spirited. If the magic pattern egg had not lost its vitality, it might be able to hatch and let the ancient creature reappear.
It should be known that the Ancient Magic Mosquito not only had precious archaeological value, but its existence itself was a miracle because it broke the conservation law of the biological chain and had no natural enemies.
It was well known how tough the skin of Tyrannosaurus rex was, but the Magic Mosquito could use its mouthparts to pierce the skin of Tyrannosaurus rex. Its mouthparts were as sharp as magic weapons, and it was the best material to make medical hollow needles for puncture.
Moreover, the Magic Mosquito's body was harder than refined steel and it was not afraid of water and fire. It could be said that the Ancient Magic Mosquito was a kind of creature with almost no natural enemies. If it were not for their low fertility that made it difficult for them to form a large scale, no creature could escape from their predation with the overwhelming army of Magic Mosquito. It was definitely the well-deserved overlord of the ancient wild land.
How could Ding Ning not be tempted by such a prehistoric killing weapon? At the same time, the wizard power stored in the body of the Magic Mosquito and absorbed by him also proved that the wizard power was a kind of energy that existed in ancient times, not a unique product of the ancient Jiuli Tribe.
According to his analysis, the Magic Mosquito was likely to have sucked the blood of a creature with wizard power in its body when it was alive. As soon as it was transformed into energy storage, it was unfortunately wrapped in the dripping resin and buried in the ground to become amber. After tens of thousands of years of crustal changes, it was excavated and reappeared in the world.
With a "snap", Ding Ning directly crushed the beeswax with brute force in front of the horrified eyes of Halidan and others.
"What are you doing? This is white beeswax, an extremely rare kind of fragrant amber."
Bai Qing was so distressed that his heart was bleeding. Although the beeswax did not belong to him, he still felt distressed when such a beautiful thing was destroyed so rudely.
The corners of Halidan's mouth twitched twice. Although he had not known Ding Ning for a long time, he believed that Ding Ning was by no means a reckless man, so he asked nervously, "Fourth Brother, is this beeswax fake?"
"Haha, Halidan, as a dignified crown prince, you won't wear fake beeswax, will you? It's too shameful. "
Prince Hengli laughed heartlessly, which made Halidan's face change from blue to red, and he did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"No, this is real beeswax, but no matter how precious the beeswax is, it's limited. What's really precious is this."
With his eyes shining, Ding Ning carefully picked out the Ancient Magic Mosquito.
"Oh, my God, what's this? It looks like a mosquito, but why is it red? "
Looking at the Ancient Magic Mosquito, Prince Hengli made a fuss and shouted.
"It's normal for there to be tiny creatures in amber, but this mosquito is really weird. What kind of mosquito is it?"
Looking at the weird color of the magic pattern, Bai Qing felt a chill and could not help shuddering.
Halidan was also dumbfounded and kept shouting, "Allah, Allah, this is really a miracle."
"This is called the Ancient Magic Mosquito, which is harder than fine steel and impervious to water and fire. Even the thick skin of dinosaurs can be easily pierced by its mouthparts."
Ding Ning explained casually while taking out the silver saber like a magic trick. The superpower had been absorbed by him, and he had to cut open the abdomen to take out the mosquito eggs as soon as possible, otherwise the Ancient Magic Mosquito would really be extinct.
"No, no, no, the specimen of the ancient creature has appeared in the world, and it has great research value. You know what it means to us. You can't destroy it."
Prince Hengli was shocked and hurriedly stepped forward to stop Ding Ning.
"Don't stop him, trust him!"
Halidan, who had calmed down, took the initiative to stop Hengli and asked him not to disturb Ding Ning.
"Oh, okay, I'm just a little excited, and I don't mean that I don't trust Fourth Brother."
Prince Hengli came to his senses and immediately spread his hands in embarrassment. The Ancient Magic Mosquito was indeed valuable and had high research value, but so what? He was not short of money and did not know how to do scientific research. He just reacted subconsciously before.
Ding Ning had no time to pay attention to him and concentrated on dissecting the Magic Mosquito. The dead Magic Mosquito did not have the characteristics of being harder than fine steel, so its abdomen was easily cut open, revealing hundreds of eggs inside.
"Good, there are three alive."
Ding Ning sighed with emotion, put the three alive eggs into a jade bottle, and squeezed out a drop of blood essence to drop into it.
He deliberately poured strong wizard power into this drop of blood essence and used the method of raising poisonous insects, but whether the Magic Mosquito eggs could survive and hatch depended on luck.
The Magic Mosquito was an intelligent creature. If it was an adult insect, it would never be enslaved, but it was hard to say if it was an insect egg. Some ignorant creatures always regarded the first person they saw as their relatives, and Ding Ning hoped that the Magic Mosquito eggs were the same.
