Chapter 713: The Herb That Revives the Dead

"What do you mean by bringing oneself back to life? Isn't the orderly flourishing and withering of all things a law of nature?"

"Even a dead plant can be regenerated, right?" "No."

Austin, sitting in the back, noticed the surprised expressions on the faces of the three and became anxious, fearing his wife couldn't explain clearly, "Elsa, let me explain. Miss Reed, it's like this."

"Whether it's poisoned or its roots are damaged, just a drop of its juice is needed. Within a day, this herb will grow back to its current state."

He pointed to the herb, still vibrant and green despite being boxed up, "Not only that. Its juice can also revive other small plants of a similar size. Those people coveted this herb for its abilities, which is why they stole it." Tina's eyes brightened, "But this herb can't cure people, right?"

Plants and animals, though both are life forms, are fundamentally different from a biological standpoint.

This herb may seem magical, but if it can't even save a plant slightly larger than itself, how could it revive dead flesh and bones?

Elsa nodded indeed, "It is just an herb, not some kind of miracle elixir. How could it possibly revive the dead? In fact, this thing isn't much related to immortality."

Tina noticed a flash of hatred in Elsa's eyes, "But someone leaked the fact that the Dyer family owned this herb. Those people thought that since it can heal plants, it must contain genes for immortality. They wanted to take it for research, but this is our family heirloom. We, the Dyer family, have only this one thing. My father would never agree, so they killed my entire family!"

"It's my fault, I'm powerless to avenge them!"

Elsa's hands trembled as she held the box.

Tina raised an eyebrow. The Dyer family was murdered?

Wasn't it said that her parents committed suicide due to business failures and a broken financial chain?

Concerning the Dyer family's affairs, she hadn't had the chance to investigate yet, only hearing a few versions told by others, naturally assuming Elsa's parents had committed suicide.

Seeing Elsa's eyes red, Tina patted her shoulder soothingly, "Elsa, what do you want me to do for you?"
