My Breathtaking CEO Wife Novel - Chapter 498
Chapter 498: Just to survive
When he returned to the medicine warehouse, Kang Bo had already prepared a list. He had packed everything in a box. At least, there wouldn’t be any problems in the short term.
Li Tian waited at the side for more than an hour. There were seven boxes of different sizes.
The Jun family’s box was obviously the largest, while Li Tian’s box was the smallest. Since he could come and pick up the medicinal herbs at any time, he decided to take a few back to test it out. It should be able to last for about a month.
“Kang Bo, how much is it in total?”
” 20 million.”
US dollars were equivalent to more than 100 million Chinese dollars.
Even though Li Tian’s box was small, some of the herbs were extremely expensive. Li Tian’s small box was worth 20 million Chinese dollars.
If he counted them one by one, it definitely wouldn’t be a whole number. However, Kang Bo didn’t care and directly erased the small change.
The five billion US dollars that he owed the ghost king had already been paid back. The ghost king was spending money very quickly. There were more than a hundred medicinal ingredient procurement points in the world, and the staff alone numbered in the tens of thousands. The annual expenditure was an astronomical figure.
“1 don’t have a card here. I’ll call Yu Yan tomorrow and ask her to transfer the money over.”
“Alright,” he said.
Li Tian gave his card to the monk. After all, the monk had to purchase a large number of things for the company’s base.
After transporting all the boxes into the elevator, the two of them returned to the manor.
After sitting down and drinking some tea, Kang Bo master Tian,
I’m sure master has already told you about the matter?”
‘Yes, I have a rough idea of the situation. The reason why I didn’t leave was because I wanted to ask Kang Bo. I don’t know the details.”
Li Tian also took a sip of his tea. Since he was already here , he had to get to the bottom of this matter. Li Tian felt that the ghost king didn’t seem to have succeeded.
“Since master has already said it, there’s nothing inappropriate for me to say it.
It all started 20 years ago n.”
Li Tian was listening by the side, so he didn’t interrupt Kang Bo.
Although Kang Bo had deliberately avoided some of the more sensitive topics, Li Tian still understood the whole situation.
It turned out that the ghost king’s body had been weak since he was young. As he slowly grew up, the ghost king knew that it was because of his congenital deficiency. Moreover, people like this generally could not live past fifty years old.
He didn’t want to die, so he began to secretly search for ways to treat this congenital defect in the Miao village.
Finally, in an ancient secret recipe, something was written.
Life extension Gu!
As the name suggested, it could extend a person’s life by a few years. However, the cultivation of the life-prolonging worm was extremely difficult. According to the method above, it was impossible for a person to cultivate it. The life-prolonging worm required five hundred milliliters of blood essence every day. After being nurtured for five years, it would be implanted into the human body. When the human body’s blood essence was insufficient, the life-prolonging Gu would release its own blood essence to maintain the survival of its owner.
If a person wanted to live, they must first have organs that could work normally. The second was the blood essence needed to make these organs work. The ghost king’S innate blood essence was relatively small, so he could not live for long. The reason why those martial arts masters could live to
80,90, or even over 100 years old was because they had enough blood essence.
He couldn’t practice martial arts, so the blood essence in his body couldn’t grow at all. If he wanted to live longer, he could only use this method.
But where did he get so much blood essence to raise the life-prolonging worm? In less than two days, he would die before the life-prolonging Gu was cultivated.
This was not called a life extending Gu, it was called a life urging Gu. In the ancient book, it was recorded that only one person succeeded in the end. That person was a Grandmaster level expert who successfully used the life extension Gu to extend his life for ten years!
The life extension Gu required you to use your own life to feed it, and when your life was about to end, it would then use its own life to feed you.
But the ghost king couldn’t do that, because he couldn’t afford it.
Later on, he obtained a genetic potion. If he injected his genes into an animal’s body, the animal’s blood essence would also meet the life-extending Gu’s requirements.
However, the success rate was too low. All these years, the ghost king had been injecting genetic potions into these animals without stopping. Moreover, the animals he had chosen were all those with strong vitality and exuberant blood essence.
He had sacrificed many animals, but he just wanted to live. Especially after he had grafted the psychic Gu to Lin Yi, the remaining blood essence in his body was almost completely exhausted.
He knew that he might not be able to live for more than five years, so he immediately launched this plan. It was originally just an idea in his mind.
Over the past four months, he had used his connections to transport these animals from various countries. Unfortunately, only 100 of them had survived.
The life-prolonging Gu was still being cultivated, and there was a high chance of success before the ghost Kings life came to an end.
Li Tian was speechless for a long time after he heard everything. Was the ghost king cruel? No, at least he didn’t use living people for his experiment. With the ghost king’s ability, it wouldn’t be a big problem even if he got a thousand living people.
The ghost king only had one original intention, and that was to let himself live for a few more years That was all.
As long as he could live, he could use any means.
“What are vampires used for?”
Li Tian continued to ask.
‘Master said that the heart of a vampire seems to be different from that of a human ‘s. They can absorb the blood of others to keep their organs running normally, so vampires are very difficult to kill. As long as they have one breath and there is fresh blood for them to drink, they can recover quickly. Master is trying to figure out a way to study this aspect. If he succeeds, he might be able to live for a longer time with the help of other people’s blood essence. ”
In the eyes of vampires, other people’s blood was their blood essence. With an endless supply ofblood essence, they could recover quickly even if they were injured.
Of course, the vampires here weren’t as scary as the legends made them out to be. They weren’t immortal. The vampires that Li Tian knew were just like ordinary people. They would grow old, get sick, and die. It was just that they loved fresh blood.
“Yes, I know. I’ll have to trouble Kang Bo to drive me to the helicopter. If there’s anything you need here, you can call me. ”
“Alright, ” he said.
Today, Li Tian’s mood wasn’t very calm. He didn’t expect that the ghost king would face such a situation, and was already on the verge of death. At that moment, Li Tian’s heart was filled with guilt and anxiety..
