Jiang Ruyi and Jiang Rubao looked at each other and followed without hesitation.

Behind them, a small black mouse looked left and right for a while.

He also slipped away and jumped down quickly.

This is a stone staircase that continues to extend underground.

Jiang Ruyi estimated that he walked down for more than ten meters, and then a stone door appeared.

Anina opened the stone door and they both walked in.

As soon as we entered, we discovered that this was a natural underground cave.

However, the temperature in this cave is very high, probably because of geothermal heat.

A few minutes after the siblings left, the heat became unbearable and they could only take off their coats and hang them on their hands.

Jiang Ruyi whispered: "I finally understand why the valley is like spring all year round."

Jiang Rubao nodded and looked around curiously.

After walking around for a long time, the Jiang family siblings felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, and they both started to sweat.

Anina finally said: "We're here."

The two looked up.

This is a relatively open circular cave, about forty to fifty square meters.

There is a faint fragrance floating in the air. If you smell it hard, you will feel refreshed and the heat in your body will subside a lot.

The most peculiar thing is that there is a small pool in the center of the cave that is constantly spewing hot springs.

The hot spring water is not clear and transparent, but the color is as red as watermelon juice.

In the center of the pool stands a conical stone pillar.

There is a depression on the top of the stone pillar, and a milky white translucent ball the size of a basketball is placed on it.

You can see red liquid flowing inside.

What's even weirder is that there is a vague shadow inside the ball. Looking at the shadow, it looks like a fetal shape.

If I had to use a metaphor, Jiang Ruyi would just say that this is really like a human womb that is giving birth to a child.

The two siblings were stunned by such a strange scene.

"What is this?" Jiang Ruyi couldn't help but ask.

Anina stared at the ball with pride in her eyes, "This is the Teng clan's most precious treasure, the stone fetus cultivated by our first-generation goddess with her own essence and blood."

Jiang Rubao: "Stone fetus?"

The name is quite vivid, but what exactly is this thing?

Anina didn't show off, and slowly explained: "Our ancestor was the greatest wizard in the history of the Teng tribe and the first generation of goddess."

"She discovered this place accidentally and found this stone tire here. The stone tire at that time did not look like this, it was only less than the size of an egg."

"It was the ancestors who used the secret techniques of our Teng clan to catalyze this stone fetus. Later, it was watered by the essence and blood of our goddess family from generation to generation. It took more than two thousand years to grow into what it is."

"Aren't you curious why the women in our goddess family never grow old?"

"It's because we often eat stone flowers, the companion of this stone."

After Anina pointed, Jiang Ruyi and Jiang Rubao discovered that on the surface of the stone, there were several very small translucent objects, less than the size of a small fingernail.

Looks like white fungus.

"Senior, can I take a closer look?" Jiang Rubao asked.

Anina nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

Jiang Rubao took out his homemade magnifying glass and looked at it for a long time. With Anina's permission, he took a little bit and put it under the miniature microscope he carried with him and observed it for a long time.

Finally, he took a long breath and came to a conclusion.

"It's more of a fungus than a flower."

"Including this stone tire, the whole thing looks like a kind of, no, it may be a polymer of multiple fungi."

When she turned around to see Jiang Ruyi, her eyes were still full of confusion.

Jiang Rubao blinked and changed to a more pointed statement.

"Third sister, there is a very rare thing in nature. Everyone usually calls it Tai Sui."

"This stone fetus is a bit like Tai Sui, but it is not the same as Tai Sui. It should be that the ancestors of the Teng tribe did something to it, causing it to mutate."

"Essentially, it is a very ancient fungus on the earth. It does not belong to plants or animals. There is currently no strict definition of it in the scientific community."

Jiang Ruyi suddenly realized, "I know about Tai Sui. I often read some folk anecdotes. Many people drink water soaked in Tai Sui, saying that it can prolong life."

"But I didn't expect that there really is such a thing. This is the first time I've seen it in such a long life."

After listening to Jiang Ruyi's words, Anina pointed to the red hot springs that were constantly spewing and said:

"I don't know if other Tai Sui have this effect, but drinking the holy water used by our Teng tribe to cultivate stone fetuses can indeed prolong life."

"When the Teng clan still existed, our goddess's duty was to give holy water to every clan member on behalf of God Mu during the sacrificial activities held every ten years."

"Clan members who drink holy water will become healthier and less likely to get sick."

"This is also the reason why our Teng people generally live longer."

"The true secret of the holy water is only known to us, the goddess clan."

Jiang Rubao nodded, "This is not difficult to understand."

"In fact, there are many microorganisms and bacteria coexisting with us in our bodies."

"It's just that the combination of flora in each person's body is different, and there may be thousands of combinations."

"The flora and our human body have a symbiotic relationship that is good for you and me and good for everyone."

“When people get sick, it’s often because the balance of flora in the body is disrupted.”

"To give you the simplest example, for example, if you are from the south and live by the sea, you have liked to eat seafood since you were a child. It is probably not you that likes it, but the flora in your gastrointestinal tract that likes it."

"So when you suddenly go to the north and you are asked to eat pasta three times a day, you will soon become acclimatized, and your brain will keep telling you, I want to eat seafood... I want to eat seafood..."

"But it's probably not that you want to eat it, but that the flora in your gastrointestinal tract wants to eat it."

"They achieve their goals by sending signals to your brain, which then controls your behavior."

"Modern genetic testing technology can not only find out who your biological mother is, but also who your wet nurse is, because as long as you drink the wet nurse's milk, part of the flora in her body will be transferred to your body , treat you as a new petri dish."

"The most powerful thing on this earth is not humans, but these microorganisms that have existed for hundreds of millions of years."

"Because humans can be exterminated and a new highly intelligent species emerge, but these microorganisms that have existed since the birth of life will never die. They will only find new parasitic species one after another and continue to multiply."

"I think this may be the magic of this stone fetus. It can help the human body regulate the balance of flora and keep the human body in the healthiest state, so it will naturally be less prone to disease and aging."

Anina turned to look at Jiang Rubao with admiration in her eyes, "You are a very smart child and you will definitely have a bright future."

Jiang Rubao smiled reservedly and said, "Thank you for the compliment, senior."
