Chapter 121: The master behind the thousand-year wild ginseng definitely has a shocking identity

~8 min read 1,437 words

Do I need to do anything?

Lin Meng did a very good job of hiding the fact that she didn't know about the thousand-year ginseng.

Even if she had known beforehand, it wouldn't change anything; she should still sell it, so she will sell it.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Ye Chenjing.

Ye Chenjing thought for a moment and said:

The Fang Family Head's attitude is hard to change; she is a very strong senior, her status is not lower than the Yang Chairman's, there is only one stalk of thousand-year ginseng, and you are the seller; if you don't mind offending people, you can decide for yourself who to sell it to.

Lin Meng immediately said, "Then sell it to the Chinese Medicine Association; I'm not familiar with the Fang Family."

Ye Chenjing nodded and said, "Alright, I'll pass it on."

Wait a moment, there's no need to directly refuse the Fang Family side; if she wants to buy other medicinal materials, they can continue trading; as for the thousand-year ginseng, if she's not in a hurry, we can wait a bit, I might still be able to get more.

After all, she is the head of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Aristocratic Family; for her, it's not necessary to curry favor, but there's no need to outright refuse trade.

These are all her potential customers; the relationship still needs to be maintained well.

Hearing Lin Meng say she could still get more thousand-year ginseng, Ye Chenjing's heart tightened suddenly.

He couldn't help but remind Lin Meng.

Do you know that thousand-year-old wild ginseng can no longer be found on the market?

Lin Meng pretended to know and nodded.

I know, but since I can produce it, doesn't that mean it's available on the market?

How? Are you going to inquire about my source?

Ye Chenjing gave Lin Meng a deep look, then shook his head and said, "No."

Not only would he not, but likely the Association side wouldn't investigate either, or rather, wouldn't dare to investigate.

If the investigation yields no result, their actions could completely anger the seller.

For the Association, which desperately craves precious medicinal materials, doing this brings no benefit.

As for the Fang Family side, if the Fang Family Head is smart enough, she probably wouldn't go around inquiring aimlessly.

After Ye Chenjing left, Lin Meng didn't immediately go out; instead, she returned to her room and flashed into the space.

She carefully searched through the remaining medicinal materials, then compared them with professional data, and finally determined that among these wild ginseng, at least one stalk is at least a thousand years old.

Moreover, she carefully looked up various sources; what Ye Chenjing said is correct—there simply is no true thousand-year ginseng existing nowadays.

If there really were, it would definitely make international news and cause a global sensation.

However, in the cultivation world, medicinal materials of over a thousand years are not uncommon.

Especially for an Alchemy Aristocratic Family, it's even less surprising.

These mortal medicinal materials were all provided by the Song Yun Family; as a cultivation world Alchemy Aristocratic Family, their foundation goes without saying.

After all, these are merely mortal-grade herbs, not spiritual medicines; casually using some spiritual items could perhaps increase their age in a short time.

After careful consideration, Lin Meng still decided to sell the thousand-year medicinal materials.

There is naturally risk, but compared to the gains to be obtained, that bit of risk is completely not a problem.

Moreover, she has made some progress in her cultivation; ordinary people really can't threaten her.

The next day, Yang Zhong and Fang Fang received the news one after another and again arranged to come to Ye Chenjing's home.

Regarding the seller's decision, Yang Zhong and Zhu Zhen Guo were both excited.

Yang Zhong couldn't help but laugh and tease Fang Fang:

Sorry, Fang Family Head; it seems that mysterious seller prefers to deal with our Chinese Medicine Association, so we'll take it this time.

Yang Zhong was very pleased; he also didn't expect that the mysterious seller would choose to prioritize selling the thousand-year ginseng to them.

By this point, Fang Fang's face had already turned ashen.

Watching Yang Zhong buy half of the medicinal materials, as well as that most precious stalk of thousand-year ginseng, Fang Fang's face was full of reluctance.

After Yang Zhong and Zhu Zhen Guo carried off the medicine baskets, Fang Fang finally couldn't help but ask:

Why? Why did that mysterious seller choose them? Didn't you tell them that our Fang Family offered a higher price?

Ye Chenjing raised his eyebrows and advised:

Fang Family Head, there's no need to get angry right away; the seller said that if you truly have sincerity to purchase, perhaps you can wait a bit longer, and the thousand-year ginseng will still be available.

As soon as those words were spoken, Fang Fang's face changed instantly, and her heart was stirred by huge waves.

Just having one stalk of thousand-year ginseng is already earth-shattering; yet the mysterious seller actually has more?

Good heavens, just who is this person? Even medicinal materials that their deep-rooted, long-standing Traditional Chinese Medicine Aristocratic Family can't obtain are here in basket after basket.

Fang Fang couldn't help but speak up and ask:

Xiao Ye, you should know; our Fang Family lacks no money to buy medicine, we're willing to spend a large sum on precious medicinal materials; can you recommend me?

Ye Chenjing, with an expression as immovable as a thunderbolt that keeps people at a thousand miles' distance, directly refused them.

Sorry, the seller is unwilling to appear in person; furthermore, she sells medicine not to make money.

Probably, right? At least that girl still has considered the nation's traditional Chinese medicine development issue, right?

Ye Chenjing put a question mark on this issue; it's not that he looks down on Lin Meng, but that woman really gives him a strange feeling—sometimes she's money-grubbing, sometimes she's especially wealthy and generous, not putting money in her eyes.

In short, on the surface, Ye Chenjing has set up a good-person image for Lin Meng.

Upon hearing that, Fang Fang's heart gave a jolt, but she sensibly chose not to investigate further.

She happily bought the remaining half of the medicinal materials and left with worry.

On the way back, both sides each had their own thoughts.

Yang Zhong and Zhu Zhen Guo simply couldn't help it; in the car they dumped out the medicinal materials and began to study them carefully.

Just like the previous batch of medicinal materials, this batch is likewise each extremely precious.

Yang Zhong extremely carefully held a stalk of snow lotus and couldn't help but praise it.

Whether it's harvesting or processing medicinal materials, the other party's technique is probably superior to ours; if we could learn their harvesting and preservation methods, it would be greatly beneficial to us.

Zhu Zhen Guo nodded, likewise holding a hundred-year-old Wild Ginseng and said:

Yeah, and the processing technique is also far superior to ours; the medicinal potency not only suffers no loss, but is actually enhanced. Just who is the owner behind this batch of medicinal materials?

For a moment, the vehicle interior fell into silence.

After a while, Zhu Zhen Guo suddenly widened his old eyes, and a preposterous idea popped into his mind.

You say, could the other party have Fresh Goods?

As the words fell, Yang Zhong's eyes widened, his breathing quickened, and he dared not think further...

At the same time, Fang Fang returned to the family and immediately convened an internal family meeting.

Several core members of the family are luminaries in the field of traditional Chinese medicine; after studying the Precious Medicinal Materials bought back by the family head, each of them was terrified.

Family head, this batch of rare treasures, where did you get them from?

Fang Fang kept a solemn face, did not answer, but instead threw out a piece of news that drove everyone crazy.

Originally I could have brought back a stalk of thousand-year-old Wild Ginseng, but unfortunately the old fogeys of the Chinese Medicine Association got there first.

As the words fell, the entire family conference hall fell dead silent.

Then, an uproar.

One after another, exclamations almost made the other Fang Family members outside think something major had happened.

Thousand-year-old Wild Ginseng?

It's too unbelievable; could it be that some mysterious reclusive family has emerged? Otherwise, how could such a level of heavenly treasures appear?

That must be it; the owner behind this thousand-year-old Wild Ginseng surely has an astonishing identity!
