CHAPTER 696: MILLENNIUM TAI SUI

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.

Taisui can be said to be a legend, and they are speculated on the market at sky-high prices, mainly for several reasons:

First, it is expensive because it is rare. Taisui is recorded in many Ancient Books, but the number of wild Taisui or Meat Lingzhi Mushrooms is very small.

Lifeform Experts once called it an Ancient Lifeform Fossil, which shows the scarcity and preciousness of Meat Lingzhi Mushroom.

Secondly, the vitality held within it is tenacious and it can always grow. Wild Meat Lingzhi Mushrooms or Taisui have survived from Ancient Times to Modern times. Although Taisui grows very slowly, it would still grow.

Meat Lingzhi mushrooms can multiply indefinitely in any size in a suitable environment. A jin of Taisui can be divided into 100 or 10,000 parts and each piece would be alive, and each piece would be able to grow and survives by itself, but the growth rate is very slow.

This is a unique characteristic of Taisui among the living organisms in nature. At the same time, it also has some characteristics that other species do not have:

It cannot be frozen to death. Even if it is stored at Minus 18 degrees for 50 hours, it would still survive after being taken out. Taisui Meat Lingzhi Mushroom has strong antiseptic properties, it will not die from the sun, thirst, and starvation.

Although the one-time cost of buying Taisui is very high, its relative price is still cheap because of its immortality characteristics.

Third, Taisui is recorded in too many ancient books that record the many benefits of eating it and it is even possible to prolong the life. Moreover, some Taisui/Meat Lingzhi Mushrooms do contain many nutrients that are good for the body.

However, the existence, role, and medicinal effects of Taisui have always been controversial in the lifeform academic community.

Although “Meat Lingzhi Mushroom” has been recorded in many texts as having the effect of strengthening the immune system.

In fact, fungal species are very complex, and even if it is really Taisui, it may have various harmful lifeforms or toxic substances attached to it. So before knowing the material composition of Taisui, it is not recommended to take it so easily.

However, this does not affect many people’s praise of Taisui. Some people do not believe it, but some people treat it like a treasure, and some people are known to dig up Taisui and sell it for Millions or even tens of millions of dollars.

There are also some rich people who would be willing to throw a lot of money to buy it.

It’s not that Shen Hong and Old Song haven’t seen the Taisui in the legend, but this piece is too big.

Generally speaking, if someone digs out dozens of jin of Taisui then it would be enough to cause a sensation, and the piece in front of them is taller than a human, with a round diameter.

They can guess that the diameter of this Taisui is more than one and a half meters, and the weight may be several hundred jin, which is simply terrifying.

“Mr. Su, do you plan to take this Taisui to your Auction House for auction?” Shen Hong asked.

“Yes, do you think that would be worthwhile as propaganda?”

“Yes, it would be perfect. It would be absolutely sensational. As long as there are people who believe in Taisui then they will definitely be moved by this, but are you really willing to sell it? This thing can be regarded as a rare and one in the world treasure.” Shen Hong excitedly said.

He can already imagine the sensation this giant Taisui would cause once it goes out and the people who believe in Taisui will flock for it. Because in contrast, compared to this taisui the other Taisuis are simply weak.

“I’m willing, it’s just a piece of fungus, why wouldn’t I be willing?” Su Jing smiled lightly as he spoke. In fact, this piece of Taisui was actually dug out from the Garbage from Zhu Xian Universe a few days ago.

In addition to this piece, Su Jing also dug out several other pieces and among these pieces, this Taisui can only be regarded as a medium length.

At that time, Su Jing was also taken aback, thinking that Zhu Xian’s universe, which is full of Spiritual Energy is quite different. Such a huge Taisui can grow from the bottom of the garbage dump.

In addition, Su Jing also experimented and found that this Taisui is really good for the body, but the effect is very limited, and it is not as good as the effects written in many legends.

Compared to Magical Beast meat, Jade Fang Fishes, the Desolate Era Universe Peach, the effects of this Taisui are simply weak. Su Jing also wondered if the Taisui of Earth has similar effects or if this Taisui from Zhu Xian Universe is more special.

Moreover, this Taisui looks a bit disgusting and doesn’t taste that good, so Su Jing feels that there is no need to keep it, so it’s better to sell it. For some rich people, maybe it’s worth spending some more money to be able to make the body a little healthier.

“What do you mean only a piece of fungus? This Taisui will cause a violent sensation and many people will go crazy for it.” Old Song shook his head and sighed after hearing Su Jing’s words.

He also had a foreboding that in the future, many people would go crazy about this Taisui, he can already imagine the crazy people who would come for this Taisui. If someone wants the best Taisui in the world then this piece in front of him is perfect.

Neither of them can estimate the price of this Taisui because there has never been such a top-quality Taisui for Auction. But they can estimate that after this time, many people will remember Su Jing’s Auction House because of this Taisui.

“Mr. Su, I can’t help but ask again, where did you dig out this Taisui from, did you find it nearby?” Shen Hong couldn’t help but ask again.

He couldn’t help but once again feel envy and jealousy towards Su Jing. God is too unfair. He can forget once, or twice, or even three times but this has already happened time and time again.

“Hey, I can’t comment on this.” Su Jing couldn’t say that he dug it out from the garbage dump, and he was too lazy to explain, and said, “Don’t look around this Taisui. I have two other treasures for you guys to identify.”
