Chapter 48 – 45: Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng

Century-old Ginseng!

When Lu Qing finished reading the information about the plant root in his hand, he was shocked.

To his astonishment, it was ginseng, a very precious medicinal herb recorded in the “Hundred Herbs Scripture”!

And its age had already surpassed a century!

“Little thing, the gift you’ve given is truly a massive one!”

Lu Qing looked at the ginseng in his hand, then at the little black beast, and couldn’t help but exclaim.

You must know, among the several hundred herbs recorded in the “Hundred Herbs Scripture,” ginseng is definitely one of the most precious.

...
And its value increases with age.

Ginseng that’s several decades old already has excellent medicinal effects and is quite valuable.

Like this one in his hands, over a century old, that was indeed a rare find.

In many herb shops, it could be treated as the treasure of the establishment.

“It wasn’t a waste of my effort to catch you all those fish after all.”

Lu Qing was very pleased.

Although he didn’t know the specific value of the century-old ginseng in his hand.

Clearly, it had to be higher than that of the Red Moon Carp.

After all, even though the Red Moon Carp also has a nourishing effect, those nobles buy it at a high price more for the taste than anything.

But this century-old ginseng is truly life-saving.

Such precious medicine often doesn’t have a set price tag, and the moment it appears, it prompts a frenzy of eager buyers.

Not to mention the Superpower Light emanating from the ginseng in Lu Qing’s hand, tinged with a hint of red.

This showed that the ginseng had already faintly acquired some characteristics of a Spiritual Medicine.

Such precious medicines are probably even more valuable than ordinary ginseng.

Compared to it, the fish he had fed the little black beast these past few days were completely insignificant.

Looking at the Black Night Spirit Fox already leisurely licking its paws and washing its face by the side.

Lu Qing’s gaze shifted, and he squatted down, attempting to coax it, “Little guy, let’s make a deal. If you come across something like this again, bring it to me. Whatever kind of fish you want to eat, I’ll catch them for you, deal?”

If someone saw Lu Qing now, they would find his smile to be just like that of a weird uncle trying to bribe a child with candy.

The little black beast didn’t seem to understand what Lu Qing said.

After licking its paws, it just glanced sideways at Lu Qing, then elegantly walked over to the fence, lightly leaped, and disappeared into the night.

This time, Lu Qing saw its gaze clearly.

He felt as if he had just been scorned by a little beast.

Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.

Although he was scorned by a little beast, his mood was still very pleasant.

Taking the wooden basin back to the kitchen, Lu Qing unusually lit an oil lamp and found a damp cloth.

Then, sitting in the hall, he started to clean the mud off the ginseng by the lamplight.

With his meticulous cleaning, the ginseng in his hand gradually revealed its complete appearance.

The main body of the ginseng was quite plump, resembling a little radish.

The roots were very long, and from a general look, it nearly had the shape of a human body.

Had it grown any further, it might truly have taken the form of a tiny person.

Somewhat regrettably, some of the roots were clearly broken.

This made the appearance less perfect.

Clearly, it was the little black beast that had forcefully broken them when it dug up the ginseng.

Although Lu Qing felt a sense of disappointment, he also knew not to be too dissatisfied.

To be honest, for the black little beast to have dug up a ginseng was already enough to amaze people.

You surely couldn’t expect it to dig up the ginseng as perfectly as an Herb Gatherer would, could you?

After admiring the Century-old Ginseng for a while, Lu Qing carefully stowed it away.

He planned to take the ginseng to his master the next day to see how to maximize its value.

After all, although he had read the “Hundred Herbs Scripture” thoroughly, when it came to knowledge of herbs, he was nowhere near his master, the Divine Doctor.

The next morning, Lu Qing got up and, following his master’s example, performed the Nourishing Body Boxing twice in the courtyard, feeling refreshed and invigorated, before he went to make breakfast.

After breakfast, he took Little Yan to the Half Mountain Small Courtyard.

Upon seeing the elder doctor, he immediately took out the Century-old Ginseng wrapped in cloth.

“Master, last night your disciple unexpectedly came upon a herb and would like for you to take a look and suggest how best to deal with it,” he said.

“Oh, what herb is it?”

The elder doctor was somewhat puzzled.

Had his disciple gone out to gather herbs late at night?

“It’s this herb.”

Lu Qing unfolded the cloth, revealing the ginseng inside.

“Is this… ginseng?!” When the elder doctor saw the herb clearly, his eyes immediately widened.

Surprised, the elder doctor immediately took the cloth bundle from Lu Qing and carefully inspected the ginseng.

“Indeed, it is ginseng, and not only that, but it’s also an exceptionally good, fresh Century-old old ginseng with wonderful appearance!”

After a thorough examination, the elder doctor finally let out a long sigh of relief and exclaimed.

“Ah Qing, where did you get this ginseng? Did you venture into the mountains last night?”

The elder doctor looked at Lu Qing with great astonishment.

A Century-old old ginseng of such quality would generally only grow in remote deep forest areas where people seldom tread.

Ordinary Herb Gatherers would find it difficult to venture into such regions.

Even he, with his many years of experience in gathering herbs, had rarely encountered such specimens.

Given the freshness of this ginseng, it must have been dug up not long ago.

How had Lu Qing obtained it?

Could it be that he ventured into the deep woods last night?

But that was clearly impossible.

Facing the elder doctor’s puzzlement, Lu Qing smiled, “Master, you would never guess who gave me this ginseng.”

“Someone gave it to you? Who?” the elder doctor became even more curious.

Who would be so generous to give away such a precious Century-old old ginseng as a gift?

“It was the black little beast I mentioned to you before. Last night, after I fed it fish, it brought me this ginseng.”

“It was that black little beast?” The elder doctor was extremely surprised.

Lu Qing then elaborately recounted the events of the previous night.

Not only did it surprise the elder doctor greatly, but Little Yan beside him also widened her eyes in disbelief.

“It seems that this black little beast truly possesses a high degree of spiritual nature, having reached the level of understanding human behavior,” remarked the elder doctor after hearing Lu Qing’s story.

“Disciple thinks so too. I feel it might even understand what we’re saying,” Lu Qing agreed.

The contemptuous look in the Black Night Spirit Fox’s eyes as it left last night.

“This is the benefit of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue,” the elder doctor stroked his beard and said, “If you had not been kindhearted that day and had not chased it away, but instead fed it fish every night, how could you have this good fate today?”

Was I kindhearted for not chasing it away? I didn’t dare to shoo it!

Hearing his master’s words, Lu Qing felt somewhat embarrassed.

That little thing was very formidable; no one dared to provoke it.

“Master, as you said, this ginseng is more than a hundred years old, so how much is it worth?” Lu Qing asked.
