“Forget the money . If I ask my master for help, he won’t accept the money . ”
For Ding Ning, it was so embarrassing to accept the money . To the outsiders, the popular Master of the Divine Burin was him . Besides that, he would only need a few minutes to carve the jade . Since they were already sworn brothers, it was quite unsuitable to ask for payment .
“No, I will be worried if you don’t accept the money . Being able to invite the Master of the Divine Burin proves your influence, but I can’t avoid doing what I should do . Maybe I will also ask your master to help me in the future . Can you refuse payment every time?”
Prince Hengli’s carefulness which was equal to stubbornness in doing things was the same as Yingguo people’s paranoid attitude toward gentlemen’s manners, making Ding Ning fall into a dilemma, so he turned to Bai Qing for help .
“Take it . After all, it’s your master who will do the job . Besides, as a noble prince, our Big Brother is no shortage of such sums of money . ”
Bai Qing looked at this scene with a smile, but he had a secret wry smile inwardly . “I’ve long heard that the works of the Master of the Divine Burin have been driven up to sky-high prices . In the past, exchanging the jade carving with the villa seemed a bit not worth it, but when I see it now, it seems that I got so much profit . ”
“Four Brother, just take it . Besides, it’s not Hengli who pays the money, but the royal family . Even if you don’t accept it, it won’t be Hengli’s, either, and he has no money-spending demands . ”
Halidan advised with a smirk from the side, and Ding Ning also agreed to this . With such a status, Hengli had no money-spending demands, and then Ding Ning took the bank card with a little embarrassment . “Then I accept it on behalf of my master, who can finish the carving tomorrow . ”
“Thank you, brother . Then I shall entrust you with this matter!”
Prince Hengli beamed and hugged Ding Ning tightly, making Ding Ning feel helpless . “Giving away money so happily, you are a real idiot . ”
“This is my payment . Don’t refuse . Although we are sworn brothers, that’s a horse of a different color . Compared to my life, these things are not important at all . ”
Halidan handed over a Dibai Grand Hotel’s Premium Diamond Card and a black bank card which could be used internationally, put it unquestionably into Ding Ning’s hand, and also blinked mischievously . “As your Third Bother, you know I have nothing . I am so poor that I only have money . ”
“Well, it seems I am rude if I decline . ”
Ding Ning knew that he could not refuse it and had to put it away helplessly, wondering what gifts he should give them .
“I have an idea . ” Ding Ning’s eyes suddenly glinted, and he extended his hand and asked, “Do you guys have any accessories with you?”

“I have a jade my mother gave me . ”
Prince Hengli took down jade piece from his neck .
“Oh, I have a piece of beeswax . ”
Halidan patted his head and took down from his neck a piece of white rose-shaped beeswax, which exuded a faint fragrance .
“Is this a piece of fragrant amber?”
Bai Qing, who was very enthusiastic about antiques, suddenly had a glint in his eyes, snatched it to carefully play with it, looking like he did not want to give it back, and praised sincerely, “This is a piece of real natural beeswax, not the so-called artificial noble beeswax . ”
“Beeswax?” Ding Ning looked stunned .
Being one of the five treasures of traditional Chinese medicine, beeswax can relieve rheumatic bone pain, nasal sensitivity, stomachache, high blood pressure, skin sensitivity, and other illnesses when worn on the hand . After wearing it, the body will slowly absorb it and carry it through the blood to every corner of the body to eliminate the disease . Different origins, different colors, and different varieties will add different effects .
Although he had heard of beeswax for a long time, this was the first time he had actually seen it himself . After all, he had no many friends, who were either doctors or professors, and he would not wear it all the time even if he liked it .
Although Bai Qing also liked antiques and cultural relics, he had never worn beeswax . For him, it was humiliating to wear a fake one, but he was disliked the second-class item, and it was not easy to buy a precious one .
After taking the beeswax Bai Qing handed, Ding Ning was shocked . Halidan thought that he was overcome and said proudly, “Although there is not much beeswax produced in Zhongdong, it is absolutely a rare variety . If you like it, I’ll give it to you . ”
What he did not know was that Ding Ning was quite anxious . As soon as he took the beeswax, he perceived that a stream of energy excitedly went straight into his superpower space along his arm and quickly merged into his superpower light mass, and it was even more than the amount he absorbed from a superpower holder .
This surprised him and also puzzled him . “Why does this beeswax have superpower? In other words, why does it have sorcery power?”
As his Absolute Touch was started, the tissue structure of beeswax was shown in his brain: “The liquefied fossil of resin, which is non-crystalline and has no fixed internal atomic structure and external shape, and whose fracture is often shell-shaped with its refractive index ranging from 1 . 54 to 1 . 55 and its specific gravity being between 1 . 05 and 1 . 10 . This one also has five extremely tiny blisters . ”
It seemed that everything was normal, and no source of different superpower was found . Ding Ning focused on the blisters and zoomed constantly to examine it . The first one was empty, the second one was empty… the fourth one… was still empty . He was confused . “Where did this superpower come from?”

When he saw the last blister, Ding Ning trembled and had an incredulous expression . In the blister, there was a vivid mosquito-type creature, which was black and red, gave off an eerily cold luster, and had a slightly bulging belly, looking extremely ferocious and horrible .
The blood-red body was covered with the natural light black mysterious texture, the ferocious-looking mouth was as sharp as a needle, the three pairs of compound eyes still emitted a faint cold light even if tens of millions of years had not passed, and the pair of powerful front pincers could hold the prey tightly .
This was the infamous prehistoric creature Ancient Magic Mosquito . Although it was only about the size of a sesame seed, it seemed to have a meson space inside . Even when it went to attack a giant Tyrannosaurus, it could turn it into a shell by sucking in an hour at most .
Scientists had discovered its ancient fossils before . Studies had shown that it had the same reserve capacity as camels’ and could convert the absorbed energy into fats and then slowly consume them . It had an extremely tenacious life .
But no matter how strong its vitality was, it could not withstand tens of millions of years of energy consumption . Ding Ning was sure that this Ancient Magic Mosquito had already died . The reason why it still looked alive was that it was unluckily wrapped in a drop of pine resin .
But what confused him was that there was surprisingly a faint breath of life in its slightly swollen belly .
“The eggs of the Magic Mosquito?” Ding Ning suddenly became enthusiastic . If the eggs still had the breath of life, maybe he could hatch them and let the ancient creature reappear .
The truth was that the Ancient Magic Mosquito not only had the precious archeological value, but its existence itself was also a miracle because it had no natural enemies and had broken the law of conservation of the biological chain .
Everyone knew how hard a Tyrannosaurus’s skin was, but the Magic Mosquito could directly penetrate the skin of the Tyrannosaurus with its mouth . The sharpness of its mouth was even equivalent to the magic weapon, and it was the best material to make the hollow medical needle for puncturing .
In addition, the Magic Mosquito was harder than fine steel and did not fear water or fire . It was fair to say that the Ancient Magic Mosquito was a creature almost without any natural enemies . If they had not been weak in fertilization, which prevented them from forming large scales, they would have become the rightful overlord in the ancient barren land because their overwhelming numbers could help them prey any creatures .
It was hard for Ding Ning not to be tempted by such a powerful prehistoric killer . At the same time, the sorcery power inside the Mosquito which he had absorbed could indirectly prove that the sorcery power was a kind of energy that existed in ancient times, not the unique product of Jiuli Tribe after that time .
According to his analysis, the Magic Mosquito was very likely to have drunk the blood of some creature containing magical power inside when it was alive . Just when it turned the blood into energy, it was unluckily wrapped by the dripping pine resin and buried underground to become amber . After going through tens of thousands of years of crustal changes, it was excavated by humans and reappeared .
With a snap, Ding Ning crushed the beeswax with a brutal force as Halidan and others looked at him with shocked eyes .
“What are you doing? This is white beeswax, the extremely rare fragrant amber . ”
Bai Qing was quite distressed, feeling that his heart was dripping blood . Although the beeswax did not belong to him, destroying the beautiful thing with a brutal force still caused him great pain .

The corner of Halidan’s mouth twitched twice . Although he had just known Ding Ning for a while, he believed that Ding Ning was by no means a reckless man and asked nervously, “Fourth Brother, this beeswax is not fake, right?”
“Haha, Halidan, as a great crown prince, you can’t get a fake beeswax to wear, right? That’s too shameful . ”
Prince Hengli laughed heartlessly, so Halidan’s expressions changed dramatically, feeling helpless .
“No, this is real beeswax, but no matter how precious it is, its value is limited, and what is really precious is this . ”
Ding Ning’s eyes glittered, and he picked up the Ancient Mosquito carefully .
“Oh, my God, what’s this? It looks like a mosquito, but why is it red?”
Looking at the Ancient Mosquito, Prince Hengli cried out in a fuss .
“It’s normal to see tiny creatures in amber, but this mosquito is really weird . What exactly is this mosquito?”
Looking at the weird color of the Magic Mosquito, Bai Qing felt the chill and could not help shivering .
Halidan was also stunned and shouted “Real Lord Anla” repetitively . “This is really a miracle . ”
“It’s called Ancient Mosquito, which is harder than fine steel, does not fear water or fire, and can easily penetrate the skin of a dinosaur with its mouth . ”
While explaining, Ding Ning took out his silvery Tai saber in the way of juggling . Since he had absorbed all the superpower, he had to cut open the belly of the mosquito and took out its eggs as soon as possible; otherwise, the Ancient Magic Mosquito would die out .
“No, no, no, the reappearance of an ancient biological specimen has great research value . Do you know what this means to us? You can’t destroy it . ”
Prince Hengli was startled and hurried forward, hoping to stop Ding Ning .
“Don’t stop him . Trust him!”
After calming down, Halidan stopped Hengli, preventing him from disturbing Ding Ning .
“Oh, okay, I was just a little anxious, not that I don’t believe Fourth Brother . ”
After learning what he did, Prince Hengli immediately extended his hands with his palms facing upward in embarrassment . The Ancient Mosquito was indeed valuable and had a high research value, but what was the point? He was not short of money and could not engage in scientific research . What he did just now was only a subconscious reaction .
Ding Ning had no time to explain to him and devoted himself to the anatomical operation for the Magic Mosquito . The dead Magic Mosquito did not have the characteristic of being harder than fine steel, so he easily cut open its belly and saw hundreds of eggs .
“Great, three are still alive . ”
Ding Ning said emotionally, put the three living eggs into a jade bottle, and put a drop of his essential blood into it .
He deliberately injected much sorcery power into this drop of essential blood and also used the Gu-raising method, but whether he could make the mosquito eggs survive and hatch or not, it was a matter of luck .
The Magic Mosquito was an intelligent creature . If it reached its adulthood, it would never be enslaved by humans, but it was hard to tell the condition of its eggs . Some naive living creatures always treated the first person they saw as their relative . He wished these mosquito eggs were also like that .
As for only three of the more than 100 eggs that survived, Ding Ning was not surprised . Even when the Magic Mosquito laid eggs in normal conditions, if three could survive at one birth, that was quite good, let alone these eggs had gone through tens of millions of years .
