94: Chapter 94: Precious Congratulatory Gift 94: Chapter 94: Precious Congratulatory Gift “Why has he co?”
Fang Bai and Su Yifei stared at the elderly man with white hair and beard standing before them, big question marks popping into their minds simultaneously.
The person was none other than Hua Chun, the owner of Rejuvenation Hall and the patriarch of the Hua Family.
Following Hua Chun were four young mbers of the Hua Family, each holding a wooden box, the contents of which were unknown.
Rejuvenation Hall and the Hua Family were renowned across Huaxia, and as a prominent figure in the Chinese traditional dicine community in Zhongzhou City, Hua Chun was almost universally known and respected.
The friends of Su Yifei and other onlookers who had co to congratulate the opening of Fang’s Traditional Chinese dicine recognized Hua Chun at first glance.
As a result, their gazes towards Fang Gang were filled with added surprise and curiosity.
In their eyes, for soone like Hua Chun to personally offer his congratulations, the establishnt called Fang’s Traditional Chinese dicine and its owner must be quite renowned in the traditional dicine community.
However, they had never heard of the na Fang’s Traditional Chinese dicine, and its owner seed completely unfamiliar.
“Friend Fang, congratulations on your opening!”
When Hua Chun saw Fang Bai erge, he greeted him with clasped hands and a smiling face, “I’ve co uninvited; you won’t take offense, will you?”
His gaze then shifted to Su Yifei standing beside Fang Bai, and his white eyebrows raised slightly, “Isn’t this Yifei?
What brings you here?”
The Su Family and Rejuvenation Hall operated in different sectors and therefore did not have any business collaborations, but being two of the prominent clans in Zhongzhou City, their younger mbers were sowhat acquainted and familiar with each other.
Su Yifei was the successor being grood by the Su Family Patriarch, Su Hongyuan, and Hua Chun, as both the owner of Rejuvenation Hall and the Hua Family Patriarch, had t with him at high-end events and exchanged brief pleasantries, so they recognized each other.
After Su Linglong was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Su Yifei followed his grandfather, Su Hongyuan, to personally request dical assistance from Hua Chun, and even though Hua Chun had ultimately claid he was powerless to help after diagnosing Su Linglong, that eting furthered the connection between the two.
Hua Chun was a contemporary of Su Hongyuan and a heavyweight in the Huaxia dical community with a distinguished reputation.
Su Yifei did not dare to act arrogantly in front of him and, upon hearing his question, answered with a smile, “It’s good to see you, Elder Hua.
Fang Bai is a close friend of mine, and I specifically ca to offer my congratulations for his opening day.”
Hua Chun nodded, a trace of surprise in his heart.
Being referred to as “close friend” by Su Yifei ant that Fang Bai had a very good relationship with him.
With the backing of the powerful Su Family, it seed that Rejuvenation Hall needed to reassess Fang Bai’s capabilities.
Fang Bai, who had previously bested Hua Chun in dical skills and won six million from Rejuvenation Hall, thought he would have beco an adversary of the Hua Family.
He was unexpectedly surprised to see Hua Chun personally coming to offer his congratulations on the opening of his dical hall.
But after giving it so thought, Fang Bai understood what was going on.
“This old gentleman is using the opportunity to congratulate to reach out in friendship.
It seems he’s still intent on drawing into Rejuvenation Hall!”
Reflecting on this, Fang Bai couldn’t help but let out a wry smile and said to Hua Chun, “Your esteed visit to our humble establishnt is an honor.
Please, co inside.”
Hua Chun entered the traditional Chinese dicine clinic with a chuckle and said “Hearty congratulations on your opening” to Fang Gang and his wife, Yang i.
Having studied traditional Chinese dicine at a renowned dical institute in Huaxia in his younger years, and later opening his clinic, Fang Gang was already familiar with the reputation of Rejuvenation Hall, and upon being introduced to Hua Chun’s identity by his son, he was nearly overwheld with respect for the senior figure in traditional Chinese dicine, not even knowing where to put his hands in his excitent.
Fang Gang, Yang i, and Fang Yun were not accustod to grand events, and the arrival of soone as important as Hua Chun left them at a loss.
Of the family of four, only Fang Bai maintained a steady smile, showing a maturity beyond his years and an attitude neither servile nor overbearing.
Seeing this, Hua Chun nodded inwardly, and his impression of Fang Bai rose another notch.
“For my congratulatory visit, I didn’t bring a red envelope but have brought a few modest gifts instead.
I hope Friend Fang will not disdain them,” Hua Chun said.
Hua Chun said this, signaling the four Hua Family disciples who had followed him to bring in the wooden boxes.
The four Hua Family disciples stood in a row, and as Hua Chun walked up to them, he opened each of the wooden boxes they held and introduced them:
“This ginseng, hailing from the Changbai Mountain region in northeastern Huaxia, is over a century old.”
“This He Shou Wu, sourced from the deep mountains of Southern Yunnan in Huaxia, is also over a hundred years old.”
“This Snow Lotus, obtained from the Tianshan mountains in western Huaxia, is not quite a century old, but almost there.”
“This Lingzhi, from the Min Region, is around one hundred thirty years old.”
With each introduction of the items within the wooden boxes, the experts present took in a sharp breath of air.
Su Yifei also widened his eyes, looking at Hua Chun with disbelief.
Fang Gang’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor in shock.
Yang i and Fang Yun, though not understanding, could tell from the expressions of the others present that the items Hua Chun had brought were extrely precious.
Fang Bai, although outwardly calm, inwardly marveled, thinking to himself how much the old gentleman was investing to show his goodwill.
At the sa ti, he thought, “Rejuvenation Hall,” as one of the top five dical families in Huaxia, must have such a rich store of dicinal supplies.
The four items that Hua Chun had brought could serve as treasures anchoring any traditional Chinese dicine store.
Wild ginseng has the effects of replenishing essence energy, rejuvenating vigour, enriching the blood, and beautifying the complexion.
He Shou Wu is valuable for replenishing vital essence and blood, darkening hair, strengthening tendons and bones, and nourishing the liver and kidneys.
Snow Lotus features properties such as promoting blood circulation, warming channels, dispelling cold and dampness, stopping bleeding and reducing swelling, and eliminating toxins.
Lingzhi is known for replenishing qi, calming the spirit, alleviating cough and asthma, as well as extending lifespan.
These four items are among Huaxia’s nine great immortal herbs, each one an ingredient in dicines, and each incredibly precious.
Especially the century-old wild ginseng, He Shou Wu, Snow Lotus, and Lingzhi, they are extrely rare, expensive, and each is valued at over a million.
In Fang Bai’s forr life in the Cultivation World, dicinal herbs over a hundred years old were already categorized as Spiritual dicines.
Unfortunately, the four “immortal herbs” that Hua Chun brought had been harvested a long ti ago, and the Heaven and Earth Origin Energy they once contained had completely dissipated.
Still, incorporating them into dicine would undoubtedly produce remarkable effects.
“Family Patriarch Hua, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I cannot accept these four items!”
After Hua Chun finished his introduction, smiling as he looked towards Fang Bai, eagerly awaiting for him to accept his congratulatory gift, Fang Bai firmly refused.
Hua Chun seed not to have expected Fang Bai’s refusal and was montarily stunned, blurting out, “Why?
These are all excellent items!”
Fang Bai sighed, “Exactly because they are excellent, I cannot accept them!
In Huaxia, we value the principle of not flaunting wealth.
These four items are worth millions.
If you give them to us so openly, what if so villains set their sights on us, wouldn’t that cause us harm?”
He paused, then continued, “If we were to accept these four items, whether we keep them in the store or at ho, we’d live in constant fear, worried about theft or robbery.
Not only would there be no way to run the store properly, but even our lives would be disrupted.
Don’t you agree?
Therefore, I can only say thank you for your kindness, Family Patriarch Hua…”
