The Mysterious Mr. Shi

"Hmph! Some country hillbillies living under a rock dare to compete with me?"

The half white girl lifted her chin and shot Master Wu a contemptuous look.

By then, the worker at the auction house had carried the item to the girl. The girl lifted the cover and asked the middle-aged man beside him with a frown. "Mr. Shi, is this the miracle cure you were talking about?"

The man opened his half-closed eyes as green light lit up in his eyes.

After he had examined the tree branch, he shut his eyes and bemoaned.

"What a shame, this Essence of Thousand Pinewood is so close to being the miracle cure. But it was harvested a few hundred years too early."

"Essence of Thousand Pinewood?"

The half white girl asked in confusion. She had never heard of such herb before.

"The Essence of Thousand Pinewood was a sentient organism that lived off of the essence of pine wood. It looks just like an old tree bough." Mr. Shi said.
