Lin Zhishui sat down behind his desk, then picked up the small blue jade pot and gently lifted its lid. Inside was a deep red liquid, translucent and gelatinous, yet very clear.
He leaned toward the opening and sniffed gently. It had a faint, pleasant fragrance.
"This solution must be made using modern technology... The pot looks pretty good, though. It has to be worth at least a thousand yuan. Just what you'd expect from a high-end antique shop..."
Muttering to himself, Lin Zhishui picked up the Wordless Heavenly Book on his desk and felt a little troubled.
If he was supposed to apply the solution directly, where should he start?
There wasn't much of it, so he couldn't afford to waste any. Earlier, he had been too concerned about saving face to ask exactly how to use it.
After some thought, he decided to start with the first page.
Lin Zhishui opened the cover of the Wordless Heavenly Book, which looked quite ancient despite its smooth pages. He tipped the little jade pot slightly, letting the deep red, translucent liquid slowly reach its opening, then carefully poured out a single drop onto the first page of the peculiar old book.
"Huh?"
He was about to spread the solution evenly when he discovered, to his surprise, that although the deep red, translucent liquid looked gelatinous, it began slowly seeping into the smooth paper upon contact.
Like a dry sponge soaking up water, the page kept absorbing the deep red liquid. Before long, the entire drop had seeped into it.
At the same time, a strange light invisible to mortal eyes slowly blossomed from the book.
"It really works!"
Lin Zhishui couldn't help exclaiming, "You really can't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients."
