Every ten years, that strange stone would grow an inch taller, and once it reached nine inches, it would resemble a dragon's horn.
This was the Horn of the Chi Dragon.
Legend has it that if a Taoist expert carried this treasure with them, they could easily bypass a hundred calamities. Not even the four calamities of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning could kill them. Even if their lifespan were about to end, it could be extended for three to five years without death.
If ordinary people obtained the Horn of the Chi Dragon, they could eradicate all illnesses. Buried in the family backyard, it would ensure that someone among their descendants could become a prince or high official.
However, ordinary people were doomed not to possess such a treasure for long.
In ancient times, a rich merchant in Nanyang contracted a strange illness that caused his chest to swell like cow's milk, growing more swollen each day, attracting many flower-picking robbers.
