Carrying the Moutai Wine Bottle shimmering with a dark golden glow, Jiang Tao returned home.

He flipped his hand to lock the front door from the inside.

Crossing the yard, he entered the living room.

He plopped down onto the sofa and set the Moutai Wine Bottle on the coffee table in front of him.

[You have acquired ownership of the Moutai Wine Bottle. Bind and activate now?]

"Yes!"

Without a second thought, Jiang Tao chose to bind the bottle and proceed with activation.

[No third-party observers detected nearby. Binding is possible...]

Seeing the prompt message on his retina, Jiang Tao knew it was time to shed some more blood.

He opened up the back cover of his phone and took out the little stabbing needle that had injured him countless times before.

He fished out his lighter and sterilized the needle with a quick flame.

Once it cooled down, he clenched his teeth and jabbed his left and right thumbs.

After stabbing, he squeezed his right thumb hard, and a bead of bright red blood emerged.

Jiang Tao skillfully let the drop of blood fall onto the Moutai Wine Bottle in front of him.

Drip!

As the blood drop landed, a thin crimson veil wrapped around the entire bottle.

[Item successfully bound. Activating attribute, please wait...]

[Item attribute activated. Please refresh.]

Seeing the two prompt messages popping up on his retina, Jiang Tao set his gaze on the wine bottle before him.

[Item Name]: Jade Dew Bottle

[Attribute]: Longevity Elixir.

[Yield]: 1000ML/day!

[Note 1]: Drinking 10ML of Jade Dew daily achieves the effect of extending lifespan, increasing life by one hour.

[Note 2]: Each person can only trigger the longevity effect once per day.

"Jade Dew that can extend lifespan!"

Reading the system’s introduction to Jade Dew, Jiang Tao’s eyes first lit up, then dimmed again.

This longevity elixir’s effect is just too...

Only one hour?

This effect is nowhere near as good as his Holly Tree!

However, the Holly Tree’s longevity power only worked for Jiang Tao himself.

This Jade Dew, however, could work for anyone. In that sense, it was a little bit superior to the Holly Tree.

"One hour per day means ten days is ten hours, 365 days is 365 hours, which comes to a bit over 15 days?"

"So, you have to drink Jade Dew continuously for a year to gain fifteen extra days of life?"

"This effect..."

"Isn’t bad, actually!"

"After all, an inch of time is worth an inch of gold."

"Something that can increase one’s lifespan—if this got out, it would cause a worldwide sensation."

"Even if you could only gain one day of life after a year, not to mention fifteen, there would be countless people lining up to buy it."

Jiang Tao gave the wine bottle a shake. Though it had just been empty, now there was a rattling sound as liquid splashed insistently inside.

"There’s liquor now!"

Hearing the sloshing inside, Jiang Tao brought his nose close to the bottle and drew in a deep sniff.

A unique fragrance shot from his nostrils straight into his head.

"So aromatic!"

The aroma inside the wine bottle was elegant and delicate, rich and mellow, hiding a lingering depth that left a lasting impression with just a whiff.

"Seems a bit like those jars of Daughter Red Wine I sold to Old Lü before?"

Smelling the Jade Dew, Jiang Tao suddenly remembered those jars of Daughter Red Wine he dug up from that courtyard by Xiaoshanhe before.

The two shared about seventy to eighty percent similarity in aroma, but today’s Jade Dew clearly had the upper hand.

"Let me try a sip and see how it tastes first!"

With that, Jiang Tao grabbed a small clear glass from a tray on the coffee table and poured himself a drink—liquid sloshing out generously.

The golden yellow liquid poured from the bottle’s neck, appearing viscous and slightly sticky.

Once poured out, the aroma Jiang Tao had smelled was even more intoxicating, filling the whole room with a boozy cloud.

"Fragrant—so fragrant, it’s almost dizzying!"

He brought the glass up for a closer look, staring at the golden, almost liquid-gold liquor. Jiang Tao swallowed hard, too excited.

This stuff looks delicious enough—it can’t possibly taste bad!

Sip~

Jiang Tao put his lips to the rim and took a small sip.

The moment the Jade Dew hit his tongue, his eyes went wide again!

"Delicious! This stuff is just divine!"

Jiang Tao savored the Jade Dew in his mouth for a long while before finally swallowing.

Just one sip, and he was hooked on the taste!

Even Moutai—the king of baijius—was instantly humbled before Jade Dew. The flavor wasn’t even in the same league!

"What a treasure, a true treasure!"

"This stuff..."

Having observed, sniffed, and tasted, Jiang Tao had a much more intuitive sense of Jade Dew’s quality now.

As expected—anything from Brother Tongzi is truly top-notch!

This stuff blows Moutai out of the water by several streets!

Absolutely the crème de la crème!

Plus, it has that ’longevity effect’ as well.

Selling a single bottle for ten thousand wouldn’t even feel right to Jiang Tao!

"Brother Tongzi said only 10ML a day is enough for the longevity effect."

"So if I package it into 10ML mini-bottles, would that make it easier to market?"

Staring at the golden-hued liquor in his glass, Jiang Tao’s mind was already in overdrive thinking through the sales model for [Jade Dew].

As for pricing...

He hadn’t decided yet.

Besides, he couldn’t discuss this with anyone; he had to handle it himself.

The secret of the [Jade Dew Bottle] was one he guarded with his life.

There was no way he’d reveal anything to anyone else.

Besides, the longevity effect of Jade Dew wasn’t exactly obvious at first glance.

Even if he told the absolute truth, no one might believe him anyway.

How many brands selling health supplements out there don’t claim their products are amazing, with effects that are simply miraculous?
