Report

Both of them had a different kind of peace and tranquility on their faces. They seemed to be very happy.


"This bell is so strange. It makes me feel like my thoughts have become faster and my heart is very calm," the beautiful CEO said in surprise.


"Me too. It's a wonderful feeling," the girl in black silk said.


"It's not bad, right?" Liu Xiaobei said happily.


"What is this bell?" the beautiful CEO asked.


"Actually, I don't know either!"

Liu Xiaobei said. Then, he put the bell into his spatial ring and took out a small bottle. "There's also this. It's probably something good, but it's a pity that I don't know what it is. I think it should be the legendary elixir."

The beautiful CEO took the small bottle from Liu Xiaobei's hand and opened the cork. Suddenly, a fragrance filled the entire room.


"Is this an elixir?" the beautiful CEO asked as she looked inside.


"I'm just thinking about it," Liu Xiaobei said.


"I know this. It's not an elixir," the beautiful CEO said.


The beautiful CEO's words stunned Liu Xiaobei. He asked in surprise, "This isn't an elixir? You know it? "


"Yes, this is an elixir. Three years ago, I once participated in a very large auction. I saw this thing at that auction. It also smelled like this. After the small bottle was opened, the entire auction hall was filled with the fragrance. The auctioneer who hosted the auction said that this was an elixir. After taking it, it could prolong one's life. At that time, the people who participated in the auction went crazy."

As the beautiful CEO spoke, she seemed to be reminiscing about it.


"Was it at our auction house?" Liu Xiaobei asked.


"No, it's not. Our auction house can only be considered a third-rate auction house. That thing was auctioned at a top first-rate auction house. At that time, it was auctioned for a small bottle of ten elixirs and a sky-high price of 300 million," the beautiful CEO said.


"But as far as I know, pills are different from each other. There are many types of pills. Ours might not necessarily prolong one's life. It might even be poisonous."

Liu Xiaobei said. Liu Xiaobei also understood. The elixir that the beautiful CEO mentioned was actually a medicinal pill. According to the novels, there were many kinds of medicinal pills. It was not as simple as what the beautiful CEO said.


"There's poison?" The beautiful CEO said in surprise.


"I'm just saying, but no one can say for sure. After all, it's a possibility," Liu Xiaobei said.


Liu Xiaobei's words made the beautiful CEO frown. No one knew what she was thinking.


But not long after, she said again, "I have an idea. We can do an experiment. Let's get two mice to test it. Won't we know if it's poisonous?"

"Is that necessary? Don't tell me you want to auction these pills as well? "Liu Xiaobei said.


"No, I don't think it's that simple. If this is an elixir that can prolong one's life, then everyone needs it, right?" the beautiful CEO said.


As soon as the beautiful CEO said that, Liu Xiaobei finally understood what she was thinking. It turned out that she wanted to live for a few more years.


Of course, this idea of the beautiful CEO was understandable. Who didn't want to live for a few more years? Especially someone like the beautiful CEO, who was young and beautiful and had a successful career.


But suddenly, Liu Xiaobei thought of a problem. He said to the beautiful CEO, "I'm not sure what kind of elixir this is, but it's a pill that can prolong one's life. The possibility is very small."

"Why do you say that?" the beautiful CEO asked in confusion.


"Because I just thought of something. I found this elixir on a skeleton. It already shows that its owner is already dead," Liu Xiaobei said.


"So what? I don't understand," the beautiful CEO said.


"Let me put it this way. If you had such an elixir that could prolong your life, would you keep it until you died?" Liu Xiaobei said.


"Oh, I understand. What you mean is that if it was a pill that could prolong one's life, the pill wouldn't have been left until now. Instead, it would have been eaten by its owner. Is that what you mean?" said the beautiful CEO.


"It's so easy to deal with smart people," Liu Xiaobei said with a smile.


"That's a pity. When I smelled the fragrance of the elixir, I thought it was the kind of elixir that could prolong one's life!" the beautiful CEO said with a little disappointment.


"Although it can't prolong one's life, it might have other benefits," Liu Xiaobei said.


"That's right. I've also read about it in the books. After eating the medicinal pill, one will become very powerful," the girl in black silk interrupted.


Liu Xiaobei nodded. Liu Xiaobei's meaning was roughly the same.


"But we don't know what the use of this elixir is," the girl in black silk said again.


"I have an idea. It's what the beautiful CEO said just now. We can try it. But my method is different from what the beautiful CEO said. I won't try it with a lab rat, but I will try it," Liu Xiaobei said.


This was what Liu Xiaobei had just thought of. Liu Xiaobei suddenly remembered that after Liu Xiaobei transformed, he could get rid of negative statuses. That time when he was drugged, the negative statuses were automatically removed after Liu Xiaobei transformed into a snake.


Then Liu Xiaobei could try the elixir now. If it was poisonous, Liu Xiaobei could immediately transform. That way, he wouldn't be afraid of being poisoned.


"This won't do. What if it's poisonous? This isn't a joke, "the beautiful CEO said anxiously as soon as Liu Xiaobei finished speaking.


The girl in black silk also hurriedly nodded, indicating that this wouldn't do.


"I'm not afraid of being poisoned. You guys have forgotten that I'm a freak. If I take it with my current body, even if it's poisonous, I'll be fine once I transform," Liu Xiaobei explained to them.


"Is that really the case?" the beautiful CEO asked doubtfully.


"Of course it is. If you don't believe me, you can ask the girl in black silk. That time, we were drugged. After I transformed, the effects of the drug were automatically removed," Liu Xiaobei said.


The girl in black silk also nodded.


She had seen it with her own eyes. It was the truth.


Even though she had confirmed it, the beautiful CEO still hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, I feel that there's still a certain amount of risk. After all, this is different from the drug. We shouldn't take the risk."

"But what if these elixirs are treasures with great benefits? Then we just throw them aside? "Liu Xiaobei said.


"Alright, then we'll give it a try. Anyway, I know that nothing will happen to you. You're a man who's good at creating miracles." The beautiful CEO finally gritted her teeth and nodded.


"It's not a big deal. Don't be so nervous." Liu Xiaobei laughed as he poured out a small pill the size of a sorghum grain from a small porcelain bottle and swallowed it in one gulp.
