With this phoenix vine, these individuals are destined to be saved!


    Charlie had initially believed that this legendary phoenix vine, a rare gem of myth, might not cross his path for decades.


    However, he never anticipated that during his time in Mexico, he would encounter it in this dimly lit underground operating room!


    Filled with excitement, Charlie carefully examined the bracelet handed to him by the elderly woman. It appeared dark brown, but at least one-third of its intricate lines glowed a vivid blood-red. The bracelet’s thickness resembled that of a pinky finger, suggesting it was crafted from an entire wooden vine that had been simmered, heated, and meticulously shaped into jewelry.


    This piece seemed distinct from the ordinary chicken blood vine. Most notably, the phoenix bone vine disyed a finer texture, with nearly no pores on its surface. Its bright red hue resembled fresh blood, indicating a quality that was challenging to replicate artificially.<fn85f3> This update is avable on find?novel</fn85f3><h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Despite this, Charlie found it difficult to determine whether this bracelet was indeed the phoenix vine mentioned in the “Jiu Xuan Tian Jing.” He instinctively asked, “Olddy, are you certain that this bracelet is made from phoenix bone vine?”


    “Absolutely!” the olddy replied with conviction. “This bracelet has been passed down through generations. My grandmother told me that our ancestors practiced medicine during the Tang Dynasty for over 200 years. During the Anshi Rebellion, only a six-year-old child from the family perished. After that, our ancestor’s medical expertise faded, but the one who survived inherited this bracelet from his grandfather, who emphasized its value and the need to preserve it. Thus, it has been handed down to this day.”


    Hearing this, the young man beside her couldn’t help but murmur, “Olddy, I study nts extensively, yet I’ve nevere across anything like phoenix vine. And you say your ancestors passed down this wooden bracelet—what makes it so precious?”


    The olddy shook her head, looking puzzled. “I don’t know what phoenix vine is, nor do I understand its appearance in nature. As for its value, I too am uncertain. This bracelet was entrusted to me, and my role is merely to care for it. I’m not aware of its significance…”


    She nced at Charlie with a hint of embarrassment and continued, “Mr. Wade, I didn’t intend to fabricate stories to mislead you. You have saved me, yet I am just a poor old woman with little to offer. Your kindness is beyond my ability to repay, so I present you with this one treasured item as a token of gratitude. It may not be valuable in a conventional sense, but its historical significance is undeniable, and I hope you don’t find itcking…”


    Charlie nodded gently, taking the phoenix vine into his hands and scrutinizing it intently for an extended period.


    Then, a thought struck him—he recalled the records in the “Jiu Xuan Tian Jing.” It was actually quite simple to verify the authenticity of the phoenix bone vine. By infusing it with spiritual energy, he could sense the powerful medicinal properties awakened within it.


    Thus, Charlie carefully infused a small amount of spiritual energy into the bracelet.


    As he controlled the energy’s flow, he only intended to use a fraction for testing. To his astonishment, the energy seemed to unleash a torrent of power, causing a surge within the bracelet!


    Shocked, Charlie quickly withdrew all his spiritual energy and turned to the olddy, asking earnestly, “Are you truly willing to give me this bracelet?”


    “Yes,” she affirmed repeatedly, her gratitude evident. “Mr. Wade, you saved my youngest. If you value this bracelet, it is yours!”


    Charlie was overjoyed. This bracelet held immense value for him, essential for refining the Remodeling Pill that could save many lives. Furthermore, it might prove even more useful for creating other advanced pills in the future!


    What was even rarer was that, while the phoenix bone vine was incredibly scarce, it was indeed beneficial for alchemy.


    He realized that if he managed to refine a batch of remodeling pills, he likely wouldn’t need to use even one-tenth of what he could potentially produce!


    Contemting this, Charlie addressed the olddy: “Olddy, this is a cherished family heirloom, and I feel truly honored. Let’s exchange contact information, and I promise to visit once I return to China!”
