But then again, if it's the elixir of life, why didn't the tomb owner consume it after obtaining it?
Wang Hao wrestled with his thoughts, not daring to test it on himself, he decided to hide the pill and take it back for further study.
He then took a closer look at the box and discovered that it contained sheets of beast skin.
Wang Hao carefully took out the beast skin and shone his flashlight on it, revealing characters.
This must have been used by the ancients to record important information, fearing that paper would rot over the years, whereas treated beast skin could remain undecayed for millennia.
The characters were ancient scripts, some resembling pictograms, others looked like cuneiform.
Wang Hao had learned a bit about ancient characters in his history classes and could guess what a few of them were.
"Shennong Herbal Medicine? My God, is this real or fake?"
Wang Hao couldn't believe it, rubbing his eyes several times.
