However, Old Song and Shen Hong are not childrens who had seen toys for the first time. Even if they were moved by the thoughts of treasures, they will not give up their principles and reasons.
After some time, Old Song said: “Mr. Su, you have money and connections. It may not be difficult for you to establish and support an Auction House at the same level as the Myriad Treasures Auction House. However, it’s not so easy if you want to prosperously develop your Auction House. In the beginning, your Auction House would have no reputation, and few people would be willing to send their treasure to your Auction House. If you can’t attract good treasures then you won’t attract good buyers, and your treasures won’t sell for high prices which will easily form a vicious circle, have you considered these things?”
“Don’t worry about this. I know that I won’t be able to attract any treasures in the beginning but I can still auction off all my own treasures.” Su Jing smiled and said while Old Song and Shen Hong stared at each other.
What Su Jing said means that he has all kinds of treasures in his hand. Is this guy really planning to build an Auction House on one person’s treasures?
If it came from someone else, they would not believe it. But when it came from Su Jing, they could not help believing it.
“You’ve been at Myriad Treasures Auction House for quite a few years now, aren’t you tired of seeing all the ordinary treasures? If you come to my Auction House, I guarantee that you will be able to see all kinds of amazing treasures up close and often.” Su Jing continued to persuade them.
Shen Hong and Old Song were once again moved and they also fell for Su Jing’s words as this is another huge temptation.
Indeed, at the Myriad Treasures Auction House, they were more or less bored, because they have seen all kinds of treasures that come at the Auction House and they have seen those things many times.
They have become numb towards the treasures that come at the Myriad Treasures Auction House but this feeling is not so strong yet. However, in recent months, they have often seen all kinds of special treasures because of Su Jing.
They once again felt a little excited and they often expect Su Jing to show them all kinds of treasures.
For appraiser experts, it is extremely enjoyable for them to be able to see various eye-opening magical treasures while working, and work becomes an interest and hobby in this way.
Shen Hong and Old Song were both silent for a while. They were almost moved by Su Jing, but there was one last worry in their hearts.
They wanted to confirm something once again: “Do you really have enough treasure to support the Auction House? It’s important to know that supporting an Auction House does not only require precious and rare treasures but these treasures need to be diverse so that they could attract a wide variety of buyers.”
“Hehe, don’t worry about that. And it’s a good thing that you guys are here, let me show you a few things and I also want you to identify one particular object. I checked the information and it seems to be a treasure, but obviously, you are more knowledgeable than me so help me identify it.” Su Jing said.
“Oh? Take it out and let us have a look.” Both Shen Hong and Old Song’s eyes lit up.
“It’s hard to move, so let’s go up to the fourth floor.” Su Jing planned to take Shen Hong and Old Song up to the fourth floor.
Before they entered the house, Su Jing pointed to a huge glass jar containing something in the doorway and said, “Let’s take a look at this thing first.”
Shen Hong and Old Song turned their heads to look at the glass tank, and then they were stunned. They saw a huge object in the glass tank water.
At first glance, it looked like a strange-shaped stone, it was light brown with an uneven appearance. Shen Hong and Old Song put their hands into it and pressed it. The stone sank, and when their hands were removed, it bounced back up. Shen Hong and Old Song both stared: “How is this… possible?”
…
“How is that possible? Isn’t it too big?” Shen Hong and Old Song both look as if they have seen a ghost in a made-up haunted house while Su Jing is just smiled without saying a word.
Shen Hong and Old Song took out their magnifying glasses and other tools and surrounded the huge “Stone” in the glass tank, and studied it carefully for a while.
“Oh My God, this is really Taisui.”
“It’s so huge, this is crazy, it’s crazy, absolutely crazy.”
The well-informed Shen Hong and Old Song, who had seen a lot of things in their lives looked as if they have discovered a brand new continent.
The so-called Taisui is also called Meat Lingzhi Mushroom. In Compendium of Materia Medica written by Li Shizhen, Meat Lingzhi Mushroom is recorded in the “Vegetable Catagory”. It is edible and used as medicine.
It is regarded as a “High-Grade Vegetable” and its efficacy is “Upon prolonged consumption and it is said that it can also help with Weight Loss, Anti-Aging, Prolonging Life, and Taisui itself has Immortality”.
“Shennong Materia Medica” records that: “Meat Lingzhi Mushroom is a non-toxic vegetable, it nourishes the vital energy in the body, increases wisdom, cures the knots in the chest, and the body will not age for a long time after its consumption.”
It is also recorded in many classics that Taisui is flat, bitter, non-toxic, and has the value of nourishing the spleen and moistening the lungs, tonifying the kidneys, and benefiting the liver.
Modern science has found that Meat Lingzhi Mushroom is a large mucilaginous complex structure between the original Lifeform and fungi. Its structure is not composed of a single cell, but a polymeric body composed of bacteria, mycelium, and fungi.
According to the analysis of “Origin of Life and Evolution Pedigree Chart”, its position should be located between bacteria (algae) plants and original lifeforms and animals.
It has both vegetative bodies nutrients and entities, but unfortunately, after the lifeform has evolved to such a degree, the evolution is stopped due to the limitation of external light.
That’s why LifeForm experts call it a “Blind Branch,” which is at a fork or in the middle in the evolution of life.
Going to the left will develop it into the plant kingdom, and going to the right will develop into the Animal Kingdom.
If it stays in place, it will become fungi like the mushroom Ganoderma Lucidum, which is the fourth lifeform of non-plants, non-animals, and non-fungi in nature.
It is the oldest living specimen of ancient lifeform found so far and is the ancestor of human beings and all plants and animals found on Earth.
