…
Even the box used for packaging was already so precious, so what would be the congratulatory gift of the owner? Almost everyone was very much looking forward to it.
At this moment, Old Mistress had already opened the box, revealing the real congratulatory gift inside. The few people around all stretched their necks, wanting to take a look first.
Qin Qing, Old Master Qu, and even the wives of the Qu Family's second generation brothers, and even Qu Yuancheng wanted to take a few steps forward …
But when they really saw the congratulatory gift inside the box, everyone's expressions froze at almost the same time.
Everyone's expression was very similar. Their mouths were slightly agape, as if they could swallow an egg. They could not close it for a long time.
Seeing these people's expressions, the others also expressed their surprise. They took the initiative to move forward, and only then did they barely see the congratulatory gift in this priceless box.
But when they saw what was inside, almost everyone had the same expression. They all had their mouths agape, not knowing what to say or what kind of reaction was the most appropriate.
At this moment, there was an extremely strange silence. It was as if the entire banquet hall on the top floor was suddenly empty.
"This is … a night-luminescent pearl?"
After a long while, Qu Yuancheng could not help but swallow his saliva and ask with difficulty.
Because the congratulatory gift in this agarwood box was actually a milky white pearl about the size of a finger.
Looking at the pearl in the box, it did not seem very big. It was only slightly bigger than an ordinary pearl. The pearl's luster was also not very good. It was far from the smoothness and roundness of the pearls sold on the market.
If it weren't for the fact that the pearl was placed in this priceless box made of agarwood, they would have thought that it was just an ordinary pearl.
The few of them thought about it. It seemed that only a night-luminescent pearl was more reliable. It seemed that only a night-luminescent pearl was worthy of such a priceless box.
"No …"
But Qin Fang shook his head gently and denied their guess. This was not a night-luminescent pearl at all …
"Er …"
Qu Yuancheng was taken aback. His expression was indescribably strange.
In fact, the other people around them had similar expressions. They all felt like they had been tricked.
"Hahaha, I knew it … It's so mysterious. So it's just an ordinary pearl … Looking at the quality of this pearl, I'm afraid I can buy a few pounds of it for a thousand yuan … Hmph, I guess that bullshit Agarwood is also fake. Maybe it's the smell of some spices that was sprayed on it."
Qin Fang had just denied everyone's guess, which made everyone depressed. However, Qu Yuanliang seemed to have seized an opportunity and immediately jumped out to roar at Qin Fang. He seemed to be so excited that he did not even notice the old man's murderous gaze …
However, this time, no one agreed with Qu Yuanliang's stupid words. Instead, they looked at him as if he was an idiot. If it were not for the fact that everyone present was rich and powerful, they might have directly called him an idiot.
Not to mention the uniqueness of the pearls, just the box made of the best agarwood was already a top-notch gift. Even if he didn't give anything else, just this gift alone was already unparalleled in the entire venue.
Since this pearl was placed in this box so seriously by Qin Fang, it was definitely not as simple as it looked on the surface.
Qin Fang was relatively calm. Looking at Qu Yuanliang jumping up and down like a monkey, he was not in a hurry to explain. He just watched quietly and even took a sip of wine, letting Qu Yuanliang make a scene there.
After a while, Qu Yuanliang saw that he was being watched like a monkey. His face turned green and then red. If he was on the floor below, he would have already flipped out. However, those who could be on the top floor were either direct descendants of the Qu Family or well-known rich and powerful people in Hong Kong. He did not dare to offend any of them.
In the end, Qu Yuanliang could only obediently shrink to one side under the glare of the three men in charge of the Qu Family. For the time being, he did not dare to make a sound. At most, he squatted there and drew circles to curse Qin Fang.
Unfortunately, such curses were destined to be useless. Qin Fang did not pay attention to him at all.
Everyone was quietly waiting for him to continue his explanation. At least, they were looking forward to finding out what was so special about this Millenium Clam Pearl.
"This is not an ordinary pearl …"
This was expected by everyone. No one felt that there was anything strange about it. If this was really an ordinary pearl, it would be strange.
"It is … a Millennium Clam Pearl!"
Qin Fang said in an extremely calm tone. "To be exact, this clam pearl has been around for nearly two thousand years …"
"Hiss …"
After hearing Qin Fang's introduction, although they were not sure what was so special about this Millennium Clam Pearl, just the fact that this Millennium Clam Pearl had been around for nearly two thousand years was already shocking enough.
As everyone knew, pearls also had a lifespan. A pearl could only "live" for about a hundred years. Its puberty was about fifty to sixty years old.
After a long time, the water droplets in the pearl layer would slowly run away, and it would become dull. Finally, it would age and change color, or even dry up and turn into powder.
Therefore, ancient pearls could not be passed down to the present day …
However, this pearl had not only been passed down to the present day, but it had also been around for nearly two thousand years … One could imagine how precious it was.
Of course, the more impossible it was, the more suspicious everyone felt. However, once what Qin Fang said was true, the value of this Millennium Clam Pearl would be immeasurable.
Although it was impossible to say that there were no other Millennium Clam Pearls in this world, at least the number of them could be counted with one's fingers. Then, the value of this pearl would definitely be heaven-defying.
Moreover, Qin Fang placed its value above that of the best quality agarwood. Moreover, judging from the way Qin Fang spoke, it seemed that there was something more to this Millennium Clam Pearl. This meant that the uniqueness of this Millennium Clam Pearl was not as simple as just existing for a long time …
"Everyone knows that pearls are extremely rare in this world. Even pearls that are over a hundred years old are extremely rare, let alone one that is close to two thousand years old."
"I won't say much about the origin of this pearl, because I am not very clear about it myself … However, when I got it, it had already been at the bottom of the sea for hundreds of years!"
"However, before it sank to the bottom of the sea, it had already existed for a thousand years. It is definitely an extremely rare pearl of the best quality … and this kind of pearl is called the Millennium Clam Pearl. It is a rare pearl of the best quality that can only be seen once in a thousand years!"
"This kind of Millennium Clam Pearl has a special characteristic. As long as it is stored in the water, it can remain immortal for a thousand years …"
"The Millenium Clam Pearl itself is a special kind of pearl. It can continuously absorb the essence of the water and purify itself. At the same time, it also absorbs the essence of the water. After thousands of years, it can be imagined how strong the essence it contains is …"
"Don't be fooled by its small size. In fact, the real reason is that it contains too much essence of the water. If it continues to stay in the sea, it will become smaller and smaller …"
"Everyone knows that apart from being used as an ornament, pearls are actually a kind of precious medicinal material. I believe that many of the ladies present here are using or have used pearl powder, or used it directly, or used it in the preservatives. However, this indeed shows its usefulness …"
"However, this Millennium Clam Pearl is not comparable to ordinary pearls … Its usefulness is much, much stronger than ordinary pearls. It is almost on a completely different level."
"Moreover, the way to use it is different. Ordinary pearls are directly ground into powder, then turned into pearl powder, and then used.
However, this Millennium Clam Pearl can't be used in this way. This is a rare treasure. Once it is broken, it will be a huge waste … "
"As long as it is soaked in water for two hours, the substance that seeps out is already a kind of spiritual medicine with extremely strong medicinal properties. If you drink the water soaked in this Millennium Clam Pearl for more than a month, not only will all the old diseases in your body be cured, but it will also have the effect of prolonging your life …"
At this point, Qin Fang finally returned to the main topic. He immediately said to the old lady with a smile.
"Grandma, as long as you drink the water soaked in it for more than three months, your old diseases will be completely cured … If you can continue to drink it, living a long life will not be an extravagant hope!"
The old lady's lifespan was not long. Qin Fang had already mentioned this when he was prolonging the old lady's life. Even if his Nine Needles of Rejuvenation were known to have the Art of Rejuvenation, he was still unable to do anything about the human body's potential that had already been exhausted.
However, after obtaining this Millennium Clam Pearl, Qin Fang felt as if he had won the lottery.
This Millennium Clam Pearl was also taken out by Qin Fang from the sunken treasure ship. It should have been a gift from a country in Southeast Asia to the Great Ming Dynasty.
Unfortunately, this Millennium Clam Pearl had not reached the Great Ming Dynasty before it directly sank into the sea. All of a sudden, another few hundred years had passed.
The Millennium Clam Pearl could not do without water, and it also needed water. As long as there was water, it could exist for a very long time … Especially in a place like the ocean, where water had always been endless, the Millennium Clam Pearl released a very strong spirituality. At the same time, it also absorbed a lot of water essence. Moreover, it was the most natural water essence in the sea that had not been damaged at all, and its quality was quite high.
Another few hundred years had passed. After absorbing a large amount of pure water essence, it had become a divine object that was comparable to a spiritual medicine.
Perhaps it could not be compared to Qin Fang's Golden Dragon Saliva, a peerless spiritual medicine, but it was also an absolutely rare treasure …
The Golden Dragon Saliva was a peerless spiritual medicine. It could even bring the dead back to life, but that thing was not something that ordinary people could bear. Back then, Qin Fang was so strong, but he still almost lost his life.
If he was already like this, there was no need to talk about other ordinary people. Especially Old Lady Qu's body, which was already very weak. If she continued to improve like this, she would probably die immediately …
However, this Millennium Clam Pearl was different. In comparison, its medicinal properties were very mild. Moreover, it only needed to soak in a little bit of water to release a little bit of essence, and that was enough …
As long as one persevered for a long time, there would be a kind of nourishing feeling that would slowly and invisibly nurse one's body back to health.
The water that the Millennium Clam Pearl had been soaked in had spirituality. Although it was not very strong, it was much better than nothing.
After so many years, it was impossible for any kind of illness to appear. Unless one saw those powerful cultivators who were injured by others, they would not die from any kind of illness.
The essence of water was the best thing to replenish one's life potential. If it could be replenished every day, then the old lady's almost depleted life potential would slowly recover.
Therefore, Qin Fang said that as long as the old lady persevered, it would not be a problem for her to live a long life …
"Hiss …"
After listening to Qin Fang's explanation, everyone was even more shocked and could not help but gasp.
At their level, what was really important was no longer money. To them, it was just a number.
Health and longevity were what they cared about more. After all, they were not young anymore. No one was willing to spend their later days in a hospital bed.
However, no one dared to guarantee that they would live a long life. No matter how much care they took and maintained their health, there was not much use.
Perhaps one was fine a few days ago, but if an illness suddenly broke out and injected into the heart, blood vessels, and other acute illnesses, it would be very easy to kill someone. It was impossible to prevent it even if one wanted to.
Now, there was a piece of top-grade agarwood in front of them. Although it was very precious and had excellent benefits for the body, it was not magical to that extent.
However, this Millennium Clam Pearl was different. If one could get their hands on this thing, it would be much more powerful than any kind of nourishment or nourishment.
One only needed to drink a little of the water that was soaked in it every day. If one persisted for a long time, they would be able to live a long life. Who would not be moved by such a good thing in front of them?
However, the more precious it was, the more people would be moved. They were so excited that they almost rushed over to snatch it. Unfortunately, this thing did not belong to them at all. They could only look at it but had no chance to get it.
They could only be jealous of the Qu Family. There was nothing they could do!
