That's right! Nothing!
The way Chen Fan figured it, there should be a Tai Sui fairy or a beautiful girl hiding in it! Yet, the truth was always so heartbreaking!
"Oh dang!" Chen Fan was struggling to pull himself out . He then picked up the hammer, starting to slam the wall like a mad person .
"Bang!" Two minutes later, Chen Fan kicked off the heavily damaged resin wall that was located beneath his belly, then immediately squeezed himself into the interior .
But, there wasn't anything suspicious in that fine polished, dim chamber . Next, he looked up at the dome, but also saw nothing! Then, looking around the corner, still nothing…
"Wait a second! What's that?"
Suddenly, Chen Fan saw a spherical object, about the size of a basketball, lying at the corner of the resin wall . However, he couldn't verify what exactly the object was, due to the poor lighting in the chamber .
Chen Fan walked towards it, then squatted down . He took out his phone to illuminate the object . He then realized that it was an unknown milky white object, which had a texture that was as soft as a baby's skin .
"Could this be the Tai Sui?" Chen Fan recalled all kinds of photos from the internet, yet none of them seemed to look as glossy and beautiful as this one .
"Sigh . I thought you were going to be the big boy, who weighed two tons or so and could instantly regenerate, even after losing 300 pounds per day . "
Chen Fan had no choice but to pick up this little one and walk toward the second floor . As he did so, he muttered to himself, "This is rather unexpected . I never thought you would be this small . You have even ruined my dreams of discovering a hidden cutie in here…"
This Tai Sui may have looked tiny in terms of size, but the weight of it was not light at all . Instead, the white sphere actually had a whopping weight of 20 kilograms!
Chen Fan knew that most owners of a Tai Sui would usually raise them in water . Therefore, he took a plastic bucket and placed the Tai Sui in it . He then filled the bucket with freshwater .
At this very moment, a strange scene took place…
After being left in the water for about 10 minutes, countless tiny bubbles surfaced from the skin of the Tai Sui . Numerous bubbles even ruptured out of the water, emitting a burst of fragrance .
"So, it can breathe?" Chen Fan recalled hearing of this from an old professor once . "It's a form of life . It can breathe, grow, and regenerate, just like animals . However, it does not have any organs . It is neither a plant nor a fourth trophic level organism . They usually live underwater or in the soil . "
Certainly, there was no air leakage inside the stone tower . As far as oxygen was concerned, the oxygen molecules in the liquids should have long depleted over the past thousands of years . Therefore, there was a possibility that it had fallen into an extended period of hibernation, then finally regained its vitality upon Chen Fan's putting it into the oxygen-packed freshwater!
Chen Fan pulled out the black Kun Wu dagger from his back, hesitating for a moment .
Should I slice a piece off, so that I can let the electric eel have a taste of it?
The Compendium of Materia Medica claimed as such, "Consume for a long period of time to preserve youth . This may also aid you to extend your lifespan and become a celestial being!"
Judging from the attributes listed above, it was evident that the older it gets, the higher its nutritional value becomes . As for this Tai Sui, it was probably around ten thousand years old, per Chen Fan's calculations .
Hence, logically speaking, it should possess a monstrously high nutritional value . Thus, although one might not become a celestial being after eating it, it still might not be far-fetched to claim that the eater's attributes would certainly multiply!
"I'm sorry, my little Tai Sui . But, the description stated that you should recover in the next day, anyway!" said Chen Fan, after making up his mind . He took out the Tai Sui from the water, then slowly pierced it with the Kun Wu dagger .
"Eh?" As soon as the Kun Wu dagger made contact with the Tai Sui's surface, Chen Fan couldn't help but exclaim .
The sharpness of the Kun Wu dagger was undoubtedly top-notch for its class . It could effortlessly cut through an iron sheet, just like it was a flimsy piece of paper! However, the dagger could not advance any further than 2 cm into the Tai Sui's milky-white skin, even after Chen Fan had exerted a good amount of force and strength .
It felt as if he was trying to cut the meat with the dull backside of a knife! Not only had he failed to locate the pivot point, as the meat was everywhere when it was being cut by the back of a knife, but the knife also felt blunt at the same time . Chen Fan, who refused to accept the fact, simply sat down, pinning down the Tai Sui with his legs . He then pressed the dagger into the Tai Sui, now with all of his might .
"I'm definitely going to bring you under my control today!" Chen Fan glared at the Tai Sui . Blue veins stood out on his right arm, as he swung the Kun Wu dagger .
Not even the Tai Sui could rival the menacing weapon . Despite having an extremely tough skin . Thus, Chen Fan was able to cut off a small piece of it .
After putting the injured Tai Sui back in the water, Chen Fan ran outside . He was now prepared to feed it to the electric eel .
By now, the electric eel had grown to be gigantic, having a 90 meters long body . Its black scales and four cold, metallic claws could strike fear in the hearts of all . Even Chen Fan couldn't stop himself from feeling a little nervous, whenever he got too close to it!
Will it cause indigestion, since the Tai Sui is so tough?
Suddenly, Chen Fan thought of a serious problem . An ordinary Tai Sui would not be this tough, so the flesh could easily be scraped off, even by one's fingernails . On the other hand, the one Chen Fan owned was obviously an oddball . Its body was so tough, Chen Fan believed that not even pistol bullets could penetrate it! However, looking at the body of the electric eel, which was as big as a small hill, Chen Fan thought that there shouldn't be a problem .
The piece of Tai Sui was now resting in the mouth of the electric eel, which could easily swallow up a whole cow . The eel did not even have a sense of taste at all . The electric eel's throat twitched, swallowing the Tai Sui in a single gulp .
Back on the second floor of the stone tower, Chen Fan controlled the electric eel to swim into the water . Meanwhile, he prepared to use electromagnetic induction to quietly observe the changes in its stomach .
Two minutes passed, and the tissue of the Tai Sui had only slightly dissolved . These dissolved transparent substances directly entered the electric eel's bloodstream .
There was no strange feeling at first, but as the Tai Sui gradually became smaller, the electric eel became increasingly energetic . Eventually, the eel's initial sleepiness vanished completely, as if it had been injected with a stimulant . It was eager to find a place to vent its overwhelming energy!
It was the exact opposite of the feelings of laziness and comfort that had kicked in after it had consumed the ghost moon incense . At the moment, it was as if the eel had smoked a big cigarette! Half an hour later, under the powerful reaction of hydrochloric acid and protease in the stomach and intestines, the Tai Sui was broken down into countless nutrient molecules . It was then completely dissolved into the blood of the electric eel . At this point, the electric eel could evidently feel this explosive sense of energy . Its usual ability to create 39,000 volts had now increased to a voltage output of 43,000 volts!
"Roar!"
The electric eel, having significantly improved in strength and physical endurance, could no longer contain the adrenaline rush within its nerves . After it rushed out from the water and let out a loud howl, it immediately disappeared . It was about to teach those suchosauruses in the lake a lesson!
In the past, the electric eel's ability to produce electric voltage could only last for 3 minutes . It would then require half a day to recover, after boosting up its voltage to full capacity . Now, it could boost up its voltage for five minutes! Also, it was now able to be fully charged in less than half an hour .
As such, it possessed an infinite amount of power and an endless supply of voltage . At that moment, the electric eel knew nothing about tiredness, making it similar to an engine with a full tank .
It now had two hours' worth of unrestrained consumption of physical and electrical energy . After two whole hours, the euphoria effect on the electric eel gradually stabilized . The time taken for the accumulation of electricity was also restored to its previous capability .
After its return to the initial location, the electric eel continued to lie in the water . It was trying to see if there were any additional effects or benefits that the Tai Sui had to offer . Sadly, there was no further reaction in the electric eel's body, even after a whole day of waiting .
"Darn! Could this be a super stimulant?" Chen Fan was filled with confusion . Judging from the effect, when monitored through electromagnetic induction, the permanent effect that the Tai Sui could offer was little to none . All it could do was to boost one's strength temporarily, unlike the ghost moon incense, which could permanently improve one's fitness after consumption .
How could Xiao Xue, who had consumed an extensive amount of Tai Sui-soaked solution, grow taller and taller, as if he had consumed the Gang Hong brand pig feed, without going through a short period of the euphoria effect? Chen Fan suppressed his doubts, then closed his eyes, trying to analyze the situation in his mind . There must be a reason for this . . .
First of all, the test results of the solution showed that it contained many beneficial elements and a great amount of Ginseng molecules . This would also mean that the Tai Sui was fed and raised with Ginseng by the ancients .
It was also likely that the ancients had consumed the Tai Sui-soaked solution instead, as there was no way that the ancients could have cut open the high-level Tai Sui with their limited technology at that time .
Were they using the Tai Sui as medicine for refining, then?
It can't be!
Chen Fan shook his head . He thought that they might have been cultivating the Tai Sui, or worshipping the Tai Sui, as a sacred artifact . This was because a large amount of nutrients in the Ginseng had been absorbed by the Tai Sui .
Since they were too tough to be eaten, drinking the residue in the solution was the most that the ancients could do . The only probable reason to justify why the Tai Sui was still kept around, even when it couldn't be eaten at all, was that it was worshipped as a sacred artifact .
Why did the ancients carefully raise such a creature? Chen Fan could not figure it out at all . All he knew was the fact that it functioned as a super concentrated stimulant, and that one could die after consuming such a thing .
Judging by the reaction of the electric eel, the Tai Sui definitely contained an astounding amount of nutrients . Also, the electric eel kept boosting up its voltage, even long after it had finished consuming the Tai Sui . Thus, according to the principle of conservation of energy, the electric eel would need to consume a few whales to make up for the matching of such energy loss .
However, the electric eel remained as energetic as usual, showing no sign of tiredness . It wouldn't be hard to imagine the consequence of what would happen, should someone have eaten it, would it? In fact, it was possible that a tissue, which was smaller than the rice grain, could easily cause someone to die from extensive bleeding and muscle spasms . . .
. . . . Thats right! Nothing! The way Chen Fan figured it, there should be a Tai Sui fairy or a beautiful girl hiding in it! Yet, the truth was always so heartbreaking! Oh dang! Chen Fan was struggling to pull himself out . He then picked up the hammer, starting to slam the wall like a mad person . Bang!

But, there wasnt anything suspicious in that fine polished, dim chamber . Next, he looked up at the dome, but also saw nothing! Then, looking around the corner, still nothing… Wait a second! Whats that? Suddenly, Chen Fan saw a spherical object, about the size of a basketball, lying at the corner of the resin wall . However, he couldnt verify what exactly the object was, due to the poor lighting in the chamber . Chen Fan walked towards it, then squatted down . He took out his phone to illuminate the object .
