Qin Hai was stunned. He really didn't expect such a result.
Cheng Guang nodded and said solemnly: "According to the records handed down from our ancestors, the most indispensable thing for cooking the Nine-turn Life-Sustaining Ointment is a stone called Red Flame Stone. When cooking the medicine, it must be
Put the red flame stone in a medicine jar and boil it together with the medicinal materials, otherwise the cooked ointment will not only fail to cure the disease, but will cause skin ulcers and other diseases. In serious cases, it may even cause death."
"Red Flame Stone?" Qin Hai frowned, "Uncle Cheng, do you know where such a stone can be found?"
Cheng Guang smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The Red Flame Stone is very rare. Our ancestors also got one accidentally back then. After it disappeared, our Cheng family never made the Nine Turns Life-Sustaining Ointment again."
What should I do about this?
Qin Hai was a little dumbfounded. According to Cheng Guang, without the red flame stone, even the complete formula would be useless. Not only would it be useless, but the ointment would still be poison.
Professor Mo has probably made more than 60% of the formula now. According to Cheng Guang, it is probably useless, let alone one-tenth of the efficacy of the nine-turn life-sustaining ointment. Maybe the final product is also
poison.
This is really fatal!
Qin Hai was stunned and continued to ask: "Uncle Cheng, what does this red flame stone look like? Have you ever seen it?"
Cheng Guang shook his head: "I haven't seen it either, but according to the records passed down by my ancestors, I have been studying this kind of stone over the years. I have been to the University of Geosciences countless times, checked a lot of information, and consulted many experts.
, finally several experts unanimously determined that this red flame stone is actually a kind of ruby."
Qin Hai's eyes lit up, "Is it really ruby?"
Cheng Guang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It would be nice if it were really a ruby, but I have tried many times over the years. I have tried almost all the rubies I can find on the market, but without exception, they all failed."
"Did all those experts make mistakes?" Qin Hai said disappointedly.
Cheng Guang shook his head, "Later, I also asked experts. They said it should be ruby, but it is probably a very rare variety of red gemstones. It is an associated stone in ruby veins. Some people also call it red ruby.
Jade."
Cheng Xi interjected and asked: "Does every ruby mine have this kind of ruby?"
"No, the conditions for the production of ruby are very harsh. It can only be produced in a high-temperature environment, so even if you find a ruby mine, you may not be able to see it."
After Cheng Guang finished speaking, he smiled apologetically at Qin Hai, "Xiao Qin, that's all I know. I'm sorry that I couldn't help you."
"Uncle Cheng, please don't say that. It's very rare that you can tell me this!" Qin Hai said hurriedly.
Cheng Guang nodded, suddenly got up and went back to the bedroom. Soon after, he returned to the living room with a small white porcelain bottle.
"Xiao Qin, this is the remaining bottle of nine-turn life-sustaining ointment. It's useless for me to keep it. You can take it."
"That's impossible!" Qin Hai quickly declined. This was the last bottle of Nine Turns Life-Sustaining Ointment left by the family. Not only was it valuable, but it was also an heirloom of the Cheng family. How could he have the nerve to take away someone's love?
Seeing that Qin Hai refused to accept the offer, Cheng Guang finally had no choice but to withdraw the Nine Turns Life-Extending Ointment.
Not long after, Qin Hai said goodbye to the Cheng family and his daughter, left Baotaitang, and went straight to the University of Chemical Technology.
Professor Mo was still busy in the laboratory. After seeing Qin Hai, Professor Mo hurriedly called Qin Hai into the laboratory and said happily: "Xiao Qin, look, we have just isolated a new medicinal material."
Qin Hai smiled bitterly: "Professor Mo, we found the medicine guide."
Professor Mo was delighted when he heard this and hurriedly asked: "What kind of medicinal material is it?"
"It's not a medicinal material, but a kind of stone."
After Qin Hai finished explaining Cheng Guang's introduction in detail, Professor Mo also frowned and walked back and forth in the laboratory for a few steps before saying, "Medicine and stone are boiled together. There is indeed such a method of boiling. If it is true,
If this is the case, it will be difficult to handle.”
Qin Hai said: "Professor Mo, I will definitely find this kind of ruby no matter what. Please pay more attention to the formula."
He still didn't believe it. There was no ruby in the world. As long as there was one in this world, he would definitely find it.
After bidding farewell to Professor Mo, Qin Hai immediately contacted the bald man in Europe and asked him to collect rubies around the world through Xingyao's channels. I believe that with Xingyao's influence, he will definitely gain something.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Hai was about to drive away from the University of Chemical Technology when he suddenly noticed a girl appearing in front of the car.
The girl was wearing a white coat, blue jeans, and holding a stack of books in her hands. She had a slim figure and no makeup on her face but was still extremely beautiful. Her youthful appearance made her look like a female college student.
However, the girl now pouted her lips and stared at Qin Hai with unkind eyes. It was obvious that she was angry.
The person standing in front of the car was naturally Mo Zixuan. After seeing her, Qin Hai secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Last night he accompanied a girl to a disco bar, but he left halfway without even saying hello. It was really rude.
Qin Hai quickly got out of the car, walked to Mo Zixuan and said with a smile: "Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry for last night. I left unexpectedly and didn't even say hello."
Mo Zixuan snorted, "I thought you had forgotten me!"
Qin Hai sweated for a moment and said quickly: "How is it possible? There was really something unexpected last night, otherwise I wouldn't have done such a thing!"
Mo Zixuan's face looked a little better, her eyes rolled, and she asked slyly: "Did you go to find that DJ? Did you go on a date with her last night?"
Qin Hai couldn't laugh or cry, "You're right, I did go to see that Miss Cheng last night. But I wasn't dating her, and there was another reason. By the way, you may not know that the bottle of ointment belongs to them.
Passed down from our ancestors."
Unexpectedly, Mo Zixuan was not interested in the second half of the sentence at all. She stared at Qin Hai and said with a smile: "Miss Cheng seems to have a good figure. It seems that you like girls with long legs? I also know a few girls with long legs.
, do you want me to introduce it to you again?"
"No, no, no, I already have a fiancée!"
"Really?" Mo Zixuan narrowed her eyes slightly, "My grandfather has been in poor health recently. I think I should take him to a nursing home for a few months to recuperate. What do you think?"
Qin Hai was stunned for a moment. What did this little girl mean? Why did she suddenly change the topic to Professor Mo?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he finally understood what Mo Zixuan meant. The little girl was warning him.
No need to ask, most of them are still angry about what happened last night.
Damn it, why are little girls these days so difficult to deal with!
Qin Hai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he could only say: "Tonight I invite you and your long-legged beauty friend to dinner, so I can apologize to the head office for leaving without saying goodbye last night!"
"It's a deal!" Mo Zixuan finally laughed, her eyes crooked like a little fox.
