24: Chapter 24: Treasures of the Human World 24: Chapter 24: Treasures of the Human World On the way back from the county town, it was always very quiet.
Chen Yang was driving with concentration, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to market the ginseng to Li Han.
Li Han’s grandfather had just recovered from an illness; was it too deliberate to offer him the hundred-year-old mountain ginseng at this ti?
Although Chen Yang did not harbor such intentions, it felt a bit like taking advantage of soone in their ti of need, trying to repay a kindness with an ulterior motive.
Just as Chen Yang was extrely conflicted about whether to bring up the subject, Li Han suddenly took the initiative to speak.
“Chen Yang, are there many good dicinal herbs in the mountains of your Liuhe Village?
The last ti I helped you sell herbs, they seed to be of pretty good quality.”
“Hmm…
There are quite a lot of dicinal herbs in the mountains, after all, those deep forests are basically untouched by people, so the herbs are quite old and of high quality!” Chen Yang nodded and replied.
“Oh, is that so…
Could I trouble you with sothing?” Li Han asked, turning to look at Chen Yang.
“Now that we’re friends, why be so polite?
Just tell if there’s anything I can help you with.” Chen Yang smiled slightly, more than willing to help Li Han.
“It’s about my grandfather’s health; you saw it too.
Even if his asthma is cured, his health isn’t going to be very good.”
“So I was hoping you could do a favor, when you’re picking herbs in the mountains, if you co across any good herbs that can nourish the body, you must save them for .”
“I am willing to pay the actual price for the herbs, no matter how much they cost, can I?”
Li Han spoke her thoughts gently, wanting Chen Yang to help her find so of the mountain herbs that could nourish her grandfather’s health.
The Li Family was not short of money, but they lacked that kind of pure natural tonics; the ones sold in the cities were basically processed, so they couldn’t match the pure natural quality of those from the deep mountains.
Hearing what Li Han said, Chen Yang suddenly froze, what a coincidence.
He had just been hesitating about to whom he should sell the hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and here Li Han was, taking the initiative to ask—it was almost too fortuitous.
“Pull the car over to the side,” Chen Yang said with a laugh.
“Stop the car?”
“Right, let’s stop by the roadside for a second.
I have sothing to show you.”
“Okay.”
Seeing the smile on Chen Yang’s face, Li Han was sowhat puzzled, but she did not overthink it and promptly pulled over.
Once the car was parked, Chen Yang imdiately took out an ancient wooden box as black as ink from his dicine chest.
“Take a look at this first,” Chen Yang said, smiling as he handed the wooden box to Li Han.
Li Han took the box, black as ink, with a puzzled look.
The item looked like an old artifact, but she didn’t understand why Chen Yang would show her sothing like that.
“Open it and see,” Chen Yang reminded her.
“Okay.”
Li Han looked for it and soon found the latch of the wooden box, then opened it directly.
As soon as the wooden box was opened, it revealed a ginseng root of golden color; its rootstock was very plump.
Seeing the mountain ginseng in the box, Li Han’s mouth fell open in astonishnt.
Her family was wealthy, and she had seen her share of fine things, so with just one glance at the wild ginseng, she could tell that it was of extrely high quality.
Moreover, the damp earth still clinging to the roots showed that this ginseng had been unearthed not long ago!
Her grandfather’s health was poor, and the family had many ginseng roots.
However, they were basically all cultivated, and their appearance simply couldn’t compete with the one in Chen Yang’s wooden box!
After her initial shock, Li Han imdiately turned her gaze towards Chen Yang.
Her eyes and expression seed to be asking Chen Yang what the deal was with this mountain ginseng.
“This is a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng I happened to find yesterday while picking herbs in the mountains!
I won’t get into the details of its effects since you probably understand them better than I do.” Seeing Li Han’s astonished reaction, Chen Yang smiled and then explained the origin of the ginseng.
“This is a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng?” Li Han, after learning about the origin of the ginseng, was completely astonished.
“That’s right.”
“No wonder this ginseng looks so good; it turns out to be a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng from the depths of the mountains!” Getting confirmation, Li Han’s surprised mouth could have fit an egg.
She was truly shocked, and at the sa ti, she was incredibly curious about Chen Yang.
Who exactly was the man sitting in front of her?
Young and indifferent to money, his dical skills are nothing short of miraculous.
Moreover, he had just ntioned that he wanted to find so tonics to nourish his grandfather’s health, and he produced a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng.
This was too unexpected for Li Han.
At this mont, she even had the illusion that Chen Yang was like a treasure trove; every ti she delved into it, she found unexpected surprises.
“Yes, this is a hundred-year-old ginseng!
I was planning to sell it to so wealthy person casually, but since you want such a thing, why don’t you make an offer?
If it’s reasonable, I’ll sell it to you directly,” Chen Yang said with a smile.
Hearing that Chen Yang was prepared to sell it to her, the shock on Li Han’s face turned to delight.
“Chen Yang, a hundred-year-old wild mountain ginseng is imasurably precious, it’s a priceless treasure to so!”
“If I had to give it a market price, it would be around one million or so!”
Li Han looked at Chen Yang seriously and said, “If you’re really planning to sell it to , I’ll offer you one million!”
Li Han spoke with conviction, making it clear that she was truly willing to spend one million to buy the ginseng from Chen Yang.
Hearing the offer of one million, Chen Yang felt a surge of excitent.
Although this price was about what he had in mind, the prospect of receiving one million imdiately was too tempting to resist.
“Alright, one million it is.
The ginseng is yours,” Chen Yang said, excited inside but without changing his expression, he nodded in agreent.
Seeing that Chen Yang had agreed, Li Han also smiled and nodded, then asked, “How should I make the paynt?
By transfer or cash?”
“Cash would be better!”
“Okay, then let’s go to a bank right now to withdraw the money!”
“Alright.”
Chen Yang nodded in agreent.
Soon after, the car’s engine started again, and about ten minutes later, Li Han’s car arrived at a small town only ten kiloters from Liuhe Village.
Here, Li Han entered a bank to withdraw money for Chen Yang.
However, she did not withdraw one million, but only two hundred and fifty thousand.
It wasn’t that Li Han couldn’t afford to pay all at once, but because the town’s bank only had two hundred and fifty thousand…
Li Han, carrying the two hundred and fifty thousand, got into the sedan and handed all the money to Chen Yang: “I’m sorry, Chen Yang, the bank in your town only has two hundred and fifty thousand.
If you need the rest urgently, can you give your card details and I’ll make a transfer, how about that?”
“Hmm…
no need, since there’s no more in the town bank, you can just give it to next ti when I co to treat the old master,” Chen Yang said as he took the two hundred and fifty thousand.
“Hmm…
that’s also fine, I’ll bring it to you the next ti we et,” Li Han said with a slight smile, feeling a bit warm inside.
She hadn’t expected Chen Yang to trust her so much, actually allowing her to owe him more than seventy thousand…
In fact, this was a misunderstanding on Li Han’s part.
Chen Yang’s willingness to let Li Han defer the paynt was not entirely out of trust.
It had more to do with his understanding of the Li Family.
The Li Family could be considered the wealthiest in the county.
Would such people renege on a debt of seventy-five thousand?
Besides, the old master still needed his treatnt.
Therefore, Chen Yang wasn’t worried at all that Li Han would abscond.
After completing the transaction, Li Han started the car once more and drove Chen Yang back to Liuhe Village.
After Chen Yang got out of the car, Li Han even took the initiative to exchange contact information with him.
After saving each other’s phone numbers, Li Han drove away.
Once Li Han had left, Chen Yang imdiately carried the two bags of money back ho.
After placing the money safely in the cupboard, Chen Yang picked up his basket and hoe and prepared to go up the mountain to gather so herbs.
Even though he now had money and didn’t need to continue foraging for herbs to sell, Chen Yang still wanted to go up the mountain to gather herbs and then, following the prescriptions from the “Herbal King’s Canon,” prepare so miraculous elixirs to keep on hand.
That way, if he encountered any sudden symptoms in the future, he wouldn’t need to panic and rush to gather herbs and practice Alchemy.
Moreover, to better the old master’s health, Chen Yang also planned to make two Dragon Tiger Pills for the old man to try.
He and Li Han were now friends, and it was only right to treat her grandfather with all his effort, wasn’t it?
If he did well, who knows, maybe the young miss Li Han would fall in love with him and he could beco a part of the Li Family, right?
Daydreaming these thoughts, Chen Yang couldn’t help but smirk, and then, with everything he needed, he went up the mountain again.
