Chapter 3291 Suspect

Ye Chen agreed with Lin Wan'er's guess.

He sighed and said, "The Four-sided Treasure Tower must be trying to convey some information to me, but what I am worried about is whether it is conveying this information to me for my own good or for its own good."

After that, he continued, "It taught me the hand seal, but the spiritual energy generated by the hand seal is not only unusable to me, but it even swindled all my spiritual energy away. If this treasure tower has selfish intentions, then it is lurking in my body and wants to parasitize in my body. If this is true, it will be a big trouble in the future."

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "My lord, you are a noble man of the Shenglong rank, and good people are blessed by heaven. I think this may not be full of dangers at this time, and it may become an opportunity in the future."

After a slight pause, Lin Wan'er continued, "I know that your spiritual energy is not easy to come by, but I still suggest that you try all the hand seals in the Four-sided Treasure Tower. What if it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"

Ye Chen was silent for a moment, then said, "It's not impossible to give it a try. Anyway, judging from its posture, it only wants my spiritual energy, not my life."

Then, Ye Chen said, "It's just that it needs spiritual energy, and the ring also needs spiritual energy. I don't have much Pei Yuan Dan left. I plan to think of a way to gather more materials in the near future and use the Taizhen Dao's cauldron to refine an enhanced version of Pei Yuan Dan. Then I will risk it and get 20 pills to solve these two problems in one go."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said, "Sir, please tell me what materials you need, and I will help you think of a solution."

Ye Chen said: "There are two most difficult materials. One is ambergris that is more than ten thousand years old, and the other is high-quality snow ginseng that is more than a thousand years old."

Lin Wan'er asked in surprise: "Why is the time limit so long? I used ambergris to make perfume before, but it seems that it was only separated from the sperm whale not long ago. The longest time is probably only a few decades. Ten thousand years is too long. It is longer than the history of human civilization..."

"Yes." Ye Chen sighed, "The history of human civilization is only more than 5,000 years. The ambergris that is 10,000 years old can only have fallen from the body of a sperm whale that died of natural causes 10,000 years ago, or was left behind after its corpse rotted. Whether it was left on the seabed or on the shore, most of it has probably been corroded and worn away over the years. Even if some of it survived by chance, I don't know how many layers of sand and gravel on the seashore and seabed it has been buried by."

Lin Wan'er asked him, "How did you get the ten thousand year old ambergris?"

Ye Chen said: "Back then, I killed a villain who liked to raise poisonous insects in Jinling, and I got the ten thousand year old ambergris from him by chance."

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "That's really accidental, but you don't have to worry, sir. I can think of a way to see if I can find out."

……

When Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er returned to Jinling, it was already noon.

Lin Wan'er had been out for many days and was thinking about the mother of Pu Cha in the yard, so Ye Chen went to Zijin Villa with her first. He also asked Hong Wu to wait for him at Zijin Villa and drive him home in the afternoon, so that he could complete the whole show with his family.

When she arrived at Zijin Villa, Lin Wan'er instructed her servant Lao Zhang to find some thousand-year-old ambergris for Ye Chen. Over the years, Lin Wan'er has cultivated a lot of power and connections. Although her power is not in martial arts and cultivation, she has accumulated a lot in all walks of life in society.

Then the two of them came to the top-floor courtyard. The Mother of Pu'er Tea had become even stronger, and its vitality was not affected in the cold winter.

At this time, the leaves of the Mother of Pu'er Tea are so dense that it is difficult to count them all at once. However, for a Pu'er tea tree, it is still too small at this stage. An adult Pu'er tea tree is several meters or even more than ten or twenty meters tall, with tens of thousands of leaves. The Mother of Pu'er Tea is the ancestor of Pu'er tea. If it had ample time to develop and grow, it would probably be much larger than the average Pu'er tea tree.

Lin Wan'er carefully inspected it and said to Ye Chen, "Young Master, look, the leaves of the Mother of Pu'er Tea are like the fake green plants sold in shopping malls. Every leaf is perfect and impeccable, without even a trace of yellowing or curling."

Ye Chen couldn't help but marvel: "It is not afraid of severe cold and snow in winter, and I think it is not afraid of scorching heat in summer. I'm afraid that ordinary pests can't affect it. We were worried that the mother of Pu'er tea would not grow well if it left the environment of Dianchi Lake, but now it seems that we were worrying too much."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said to Ye Chen: "By next spring, it will be even more luxuriant."

Ye Chen smiled and said, "Then we can pick some tea leaves and make tea bricks. Not only will they taste good, but they can also replenish some spiritual energy. They are definitely the best teas."

Lin Wan'er thought of something and said to Ye Chen, "Young Master, why don't you study whether the leaves of the mother of Pu'er tea can help refine pills? This plant, which originally contains spiritual energy, is probably the only one of its kind. If it can improve the effect of the pill, it can be regarded as making the best use of it. It is much more suitable than simply brewing it for drinking."

Ye Chen said: "The pill recipes I'm using now are all recorded in the Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures. I'm not sure if adding the tea leaves of the Mother of Pu'er Tea to the pill recipe will affect the original efficacy. But next time I refine the pill, I can try using the Rejuvenation Pill. The cost of the materials for the Rejuvenation Pill is relatively low. If it can improve the efficacy of the medicine, I can try it when refining other pills in the future."

Lin Wan'er said, "Based on my understanding of Chinese medicine prescriptions, there are generally two types of prescriptions. One is that each herb must be used exactly as prescribed, and the amount of each herb must be appropriate to bring out the efficacy of the prescription. The other type of prescription only provides a foundation. If you add finishing touches to this foundation, it can sometimes have unexpected effects. The mother of Pu'er tea is a sacred tree that survived the calamity of heaven, and her leaves must also be a rare treasure from heaven and earth."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "Miss Lin is right. Many prescriptions are not static, but need to be constantly upgraded. I will give it a try if I have a chance."

At this moment, Ye Chen's cell phone suddenly received a call from Li Yalin.

Ye Chen pressed the answer button and asked, "Inspector Li, have you made any new discoveries?"

Li Yalin hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, Ai found three suspected targets who are suspected to be the three elders at Porto-Novo International Airport in Benin this morning. These three people took the earliest flight from Benin to South Africa."

Ye Chen asked him: "Do you have any photos? Send them to me."

"Yes." Li Yalin immediately sent a high-definition photo to Ye Chen via WeChat.

In the picture, three Asian men who appear to be in their sixties or seventies appear at the airport boarding gate together. All three of them have expressionless and cold faces, and their appearances are somewhat similar.

In addition, it can be seen that these three people did not have much carry-on luggage, and everyone was empty-handed. The boarding gate showed that this was a flight to Cape Town, the capital of South Africa, and there were already quite a few people queuing up at the boarding gate at this time.

Ye Chen asked Li Yalin: "Inspector Li, what are the specific details that Ai determined that the three of them were suspects?"

Li Yalin said: "The analysis result given by Ai is that Benin borders Nigeria, and the straight-line distance between Lagos in Nigeria and Porto-Novo in Benin is only more than 100 kilometers. The probability that the three elders chose to leave from here is very high. In addition, these three people also meet the prerequisite of being Asian. More importantly, Ai believes that the facial features of these three people are highly similar, and they are likely to be related by blood and genetically similar."

Ye Chen looked at the three people in the picture and could feel that they were completely different from the other passengers around them, and there was indeed some similarity between their brows.

So, Ye Chen said to Li Yalin: "I also feel that there is something wrong with these three people. If they are really the three elders, then they will definitely transfer to South America after flying to Cape Town. Inspector Li should keep a close eye on their movements. If their next stop is really South America, then it can be basically confirmed that they are the three elders!"
