The Almighty Taoist of the Beautiful President

Chapter 768
Cinnabar is the remnant of ancient alchemy. Early alchemists were primitive chemists. Without any theoretical knowledge, they used various precious materials for refining in order to seek immortality.

Later, with the development of Taoism, the alchemy industry gradually became more professional, and the materials used also changed from gold and mercury to rarer and more reasonable materials.

Ge Hong of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, a master of alchemy of a generation, inherited the essence of alchemy from Wei Boyang, gathered the great achievements of alchemy in Wei and Jin Dynasties, and described alchemy in detail in his book "Baopuzi".

The so-called "high-quality elixir can make people safe and prolong their lives, become gods, travel up and down, and serve all spirits."

Holding the cinnabar in his hand, Li Changan explained softly: "There are many kinds of cinnabar, but the one in my hand is the most classic formula, which has been lost for many years. Ge Hong believes that the most advanced alchemy material is xianzhi. Followed by five jades, followed by mica and pearls."

He shook the silver cinnabar in his hand: "But this kind is made of jade spirit grass, magnet, mica, and Ganoderma lucidum, Poria cocos, Tiannanxing, etc. The proportion formula used is unknown after the Tang Dynasty. Everyone knows a few alchemy techniques in Kunlun Mountain, but I really don’t know where Gu Xinghua got them.”

Long Nanshan's eyes sparkled when he heard this, and he couldn't help but took the cinnabar and asked, "Can this thing be made into tea?"

Li Changan hesitantly said, "Then you will be constipated the next day!"

Long Nanshan was embarrassed: "So it's useless?"

Li Changan smiled: "It is useful for practitioners, unless you can find 'Dan Yinzi'!"

"Dan Yinzi?" Long Nanshan was stunned: "It's the first time I've heard of this thing."

"Dan Yinzi is like a catalyst. Without that, the cinnabar in your hand is just a bag of garbage. If you eat and drink it, it will only block your intestines, causing you constipation and fever. If you drink too much, you will have allergies, shock and other symptoms."

"But with Dan Yinzi, this cinnabar is a treasure. Take it every day, you can lighten your body and keep healthy. If you guide it, you can gather spiritual energy, cultivate five grains, and walk the road. The whole body is like flying feathers, fluttering against the wind, how chic it is." Li Changan. After speaking, he asked Liang Zhenhua who was already stupid: "How many of these things are there in the whole warehouse?"

Liang Zhenhua took a breath, and now he was in awe of Li Changan: "There are about two warehouses, at least dozens of tons!"

Dozens of tons... Li Changan was taken aback: "If it's all this kind of cinnabar, it's enough for thousands of people to take it for ten years."

Even in ancient times when Taoism was flourishing, such a large amount of cinnabar could only be produced by the big Taoist sects such as Taixuanzong or Longhushan. In today's modern society, Taoism has long been illusory, and such a large amount of cinnabar has appeared. In the warehouse of a foreign trade company.

Li Changan shook his head: "This is a bit strange, don't the Daoists know anything about it?"

However, Long Nanshan showed excitement: "This matter is definitely a big case of Taoism, I have to notify the family immediately."

With a swish, Li Changan's finger touched his throat, and his cold voice reached his ears: "If you dare to reveal a single word, don't blame my subordinates for being ruthless!"

Long Nanshan raised his hands: "Mr. Dao, this is a Daoist case. Of course, our Daoist secular family has to handle it. Why do you want to intervene?"

Li Changan sneered: "How did you get the formula for such a large amount of cinnabar? Where did the raw materials come from? Among other things, there is a rare metal, which is a strategic material that is banned from export by all countries. It is similar to rare earth resources. Daomen business."

He murmured: "Also, what is the use of these cinnabar and what is the relationship with Atlantic Company? If I start to scare the snake, then all my hard work will be wasted."

Long Nanshan stopped talking.

Li Chang'an looked at him and said in a deep voice: "And the most important point, even if Gu Xinghua got the raw materials, if he didn't know the formula, he couldn't make these cinnabar. So the biggest possibility of this matter is that someone from the Taoist sect was involved."

Long Nanshan gasped: "That's right, it's really possible."

"So for the sake of Taoism, we can't tell others casually. We investigate this case ourselves, find out the problem, and find the reason behind the scenes. It's not too late for you to ask someone from your family to help." Li Changan put away the cinnabar.

Long Nanshan was persuaded by him, and now he is very excited: "Mr. Dao, to be honest, when I came to Xinghua Foreign Trade with you, I thought it was just for fun, and I didn't take it seriously. case, I will definitely help with this matter.”

Li Changan thought for a while: "Are you absolutely safe here? Can you guarantee it?"

Long Nanshan nodded: "Yijing Bieyuan, even my elder brother doesn't know about it, otherwise, I wouldn't have brought Yan Li here to hide."

Li Changan hummed: "For the time being, Yan Li has to take care of Liang Zhenhua first, and I will ask Pei Dongsheng to transfer a team to protect this place. Liang Zhenhua must be well protected, he is the key witness."

Li Chang'an and Long Nanshan discussed all night and decided on a perfect plan. In the morning, the two returned to Xinghua Foreign Trade.

Because Li Changan was given a day off, he logged onto the dark net in his dormitory. This time, he added a new reward, which was about Dansha.

Li Changan listed several less important raw materials for cinnabar, and then offered a reward for information on this.

This time, it was different from the bounty offered by the Atlantic Company. Someone contacted him within a few hours after he put up the bounty.

Under a black page is a multi-hop network signal. The other party is very cautious and hides his IP address in hundreds of places, all over the world.

"I have what you said, a special medicine, right? It's more precious than any hallucinogen. It's very rare. If you want it, ask for a price first." The other party said.

Li Changan responded immediately: "You quote, I need this thing very much."

"10 US dollars per gram, I have 100 grams, 1000 million US dollars, no Bitcoin, no transfer, I want cash!"

1000 million US dollars in cash is not an easy task, even if it is a hundred-dollar bill, it takes several bags to hold it.

Li Changan frowned: "It will take time!"

The other party responded: "I know, because I also need to prepare things, you need to give me a [-]% deposit, and I will contact you proactively for this week's decision."

The other party went offline immediately, Li Changan pressed a few shortcut keys on the laptop, and took a screenshot of the other party's last chat page, including those jumping IP addresses.

He copied the picture and the process code behind the entire darknet, thought about it, and then sent it to a safe mailbox of Baiying.

"Find a way to check this IP address, no matter what method you use." Li Changan lay down on the bed after sending the email.

He didn't ask Long Nanshan for help because he couldn't trust anyone in this matter. Long Nanshan was a member of the Long family. Even if he seemed to follow him now, he couldn't tell what he would do. Well, if Long Nanshan wanted to choose, he would definitely not follow him.

After resting for a while with eyes closed, the phone rang, and it turned out that it was indeed Gu Xinghua's call...
