Jiang Yi's interest was immediately piqued upon hearing this.
"You said just now that anyone who visited the estate had physical problems. What kind of problems?"
Jiang Yi asked Cui Xi.
"Their bodies experience hallucinations. Everyone who visited the estate was tormented by hallucinations!"
"Scientists conducted research and discovered that the giant strange tree in the estate emits a very peculiar substance. Once inhaled, this substance stimulates the nerves, causing hallucinations!"
"Scientists have not yet been able to fully understand this substance emitted by the strange tree!"
Cui Xi said.
"What's the deal with the strange, ancient tree you mentioned earlier?"
Jiang Yi continued to ask.
"When the estate was being renovated, that tree was transported from a botanical garden abroad and planted there. Initially, everyone thought it was an unknown tropical tree, but soon people realized something was off. This strange tree grows incredibly fast, ten times faster than ordinary trees!"
"Moreover, it blossoms with white flowers year-round, and its leaves remain green, never withering. Many people thought it must be a new species!"
Cui Xi said.
Jiang Yi then asked Cui Xi many more details about the strange tree.
Soon, Jiang Yi figured out what kind of tree it was, which greatly excited him.
"Jiang Yi, judging by your expression, do you already know what kind of tree it is?"
Cui Xi couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, I know what it is. I haven't seen it myself, but I heard my master mention it before!"
Jiang Yi replied, "However, there's something that puzzles me now!"
"What is it?"
Cui Xi asked.
"Why did Prince Matthew give me this estate? Prince Matthew must know that the estate is a mess, only losing money and unable to generate any profit!" Jiang Yi said.
"You've come to the right person. From what I know of my adoptive father, he gave you this problematic estate to test your capabilities, to see if you can revive this once glorious estate!"
Cui Xi said with a smile.
Jiang Yi felt that Cui Xi's words had many loopholes, but he had no intention of probing further, as it would be meaningless.
"Can you revive the estate?"
Cui Xi suddenly asked.
"Of course!"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "That strange tree is a priceless treasure. With that tree, not only can the estate be revived, but it can also become world-renowned." Su Dan Novels Net
Cui Xi was a little stunned by his words.
"I'm going to visit the estate!"
Jiang Yi said, preparing to get into the car to leave.
"I'm free now, I'll go with you!"
Cui Xi said, her face full of curiosity. "I want to see how you make a derelict estate famous worldwide!"
Cui Xi was filled with curiosity.
"Since you're interested, let's go together!"
Jiang Yi said and got into the car.
Cui Xi followed suit.
After the car left Prince Matthew's castle, it drove directly towards the estate.
Jiang Yi learned from Cui Xi that Prince Matthew had named this estate Kobe Estate years ago.
Jiang Yi thought the name was quite good.
An hour later, the car stopped at the main entrance of Kobe Estate.
Jiang Yi got out of the car and saw that the estate was locked with a large padlock, appearing to have been abandoned for a long time.
"Click..."
Jiang Yi took out a key, unlocked the large padlock, and walked straight in.
Once inside, Jiang Yi realized that the estate had been abandoned for a very long time, with no guests and not even a single security guard.
Jiang Yi paid no mind to this and walked towards the depths of the estate.
Upon reaching the large plaza, he saw a gigantic tree in the center.
This tree was estimated to be at least three to four hundred meters tall, with an immense trunk.
The entire tree looked like a towering skyscraper piercing the clouds.
The tree was incredibly lush, and as Cui Xi had said, it was blooming with white flowers, looking very beautiful.
As Jiang Yi looked back, he saw Cui Xi covering her nose with her hand.
"You don't need to cover your nose!"
Jiang Yi said to Cui Xi. "This tree only emits the substance that causes hallucinations at night when there's no sunlight. It's daytime now, so it's fine!"
Cui Xi knew Jiang Yi's capabilities and, hearing his words, lowered her hand.
"I'm going to get rich!"
Jiang Yi grinned.
"What do you mean?"
Cui Xi asked, puzzled.
"This tree isn't actually a new species, but a very ancient one that has existed on Earth for hundreds of millions of years. It's a living fossil among trees!"
"Because this tree is extremely rare, it's usually never seen. It's only recorded in legends or ancient texts in China!"
"This tree is actually called the Longevity Tree in China! Its flowers can be used to concoct medicines that can cure many illnesses!"
"Although it cannot increase human lifespan, it can make the body healthier and free from the torment of illness. While the new medicines from Tiansheng Group are potent, they can only cure a few diseases. However, medicines developed from the flowers of the Longevity Tree have even more powerful and miraculous effects."
Jiang Yi's tone was filled with excitement.
Back then, Jiang Yi's master had searched the entire world just to see the Longevity Tree with his own eyes, but his wish remained unfulfilled until his death.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi stumbled upon it by chance and had now become its owner.
Jiang Yi was certain that there were no more than three such trees in the entire world, and this might very well be the only one.
"Is this tree really that miraculous?"
Cui Xi asked Jiang Yi. "The more I listen, the more unbelievable it sounds! It's truly hard to imagine."
"It does sound a bit mystical, but it's true!"
Jiang Yi said, then took out his phone and searched for workers and gardeners online, offering them a high price to help tidy up the estate the next day.
Jiang Yi planned to renovate the estate.
Jiang Yi had only revealed a portion of this tree's miraculous properties to Cui Xi.
One had to understand that Jiang Yi's master had dreamt of seeing this tree, which showed how precious it was to someone in the medical field.
"Beep beep..."
Cui Xi's phone suddenly rang.
After answering the call, Cui Xi's expression immediately turned serious.
She frowned and said to Jiang Yi, "Jinmen just called. He said that after leaving my adoptive father's castle, he was ambushed by assassins. He told us to be careful!"
