Chapter 45 Centennial Ginseng
Century-old Ginseng!
When Lu Qing read the information about the roots of the plant in his hand, he was shocked.
This is actually a very precious medicinal material recorded in the "Baicao Jing", ginseng!
And its age is already over a hundred years!
"Little thing, what you gave me is such a big gift!"
Lu Qing looked at the ginseng in his hand, then at the little black beast, and couldn't help but exclaimed.
You must know that among the hundreds of medicinal herbs recorded in the "Baicao Jing", ginseng is definitely one of the most precious medicinal materials.
And it becomes more and more precious as the years go by.
Ginseng that is several decades old is already very effective and valuable.
A plant like the one in his hand that is more than a hundred years old is even rarer to come across.
In many pharmacies, they can be regarded as the treasure of the store.
"It's not in vain that I caught so many fish for you."
Lu Qing was very happy.
Although he didn't know the specific value of the century-old ginseng in his hand.
But it is obvious that it must be higher than the red moon carp.
After all, although the red moon carp also has a nourishing effect, those noble people buy it at a high price mainly for the delicious taste.
But this century-old ginseng is different. This is something that can really save lives.
Precious medicinal materials like these are often priceless and have no market, and people are begging for them as soon as they appear.
Not to mention that the ginseng in Lu Qing's hand revealed the light of superpowers, with a touch of red.
It means that this ginseng has a hint of elixir properties.
This kind of precious medicine is probably more valuable than ordinary ginseng.
Compared with this, the fish he gave the little black beast to eat these days were completely worthless.
Looking at the night spirit raccoon who was already leisurely licking his paws and washing his face.
Lu Qing turned his eyes, squatted down, and said flatteringly: "Little guy, let's discuss it. If you encounter something like this again in the future, bring it to me. I'll fish for you whatever fish you want to eat, okay?"
If anyone sees Lu Qing like this now, they will find out.
His current smile is exactly like a weird uncle holding candy and trying to coax a child.
The little black beast didn’t know whether he understood Lu Qing’s words.
After licking its paws, it just glanced sideways at Lu Qing, then gracefully walked to the fence, jumped slightly, and disappeared into the night.
This time, Lu Qing could see its gaze clearly.
He felt that he seemed to be despised by a little beast.
Lu Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
Although he was despised by a little beast, he was still in a happy mood.
Taking the wooden basin back to the kitchen, Lu Qing lit an oil lamp and found a wet cloth.
Then he sat in the hall and started cleaning the soil for the ginseng plant by the light.
With a little bit of careful cleaning, the ginseng in his hand gradually revealed its complete appearance.
The main stem of this ginseng is quite plump, like a small radish.
The roots are very long, and the overall look has a vague shape of the human body.
If it grows any longer, I'm afraid it will really grow into a little person.
It is a pity that some of the roots of the ginseng were obviously broken.
Makes the appearance look less perfect.
Evidently the little black beast cut off the ginseng plant while digging it.
Although Lu Qing felt regretful, he also knew that he could not be too dissatisfied.
Honestly speaking, it is surprising enough that the little black beast can dig up a ginseng plant.
We can't ask it to dig out the ginseng perfectly like a herb collector.
After admiring the century-old ginseng for a while, Lu Qing carefully put it away.
He plans to take this ginseng to his master tomorrow to see how to maximize its value.
After all, although he has read the "Hundred Herbs Classic" well, when it comes to his knowledge of herbal medicine, he still cannot catch up with his master, a miracle doctor.
Early the next morning, Lu Qing got up. First, he followed his master's example and performed health-building boxing twice in the yard. After feeling refreshed, he made breakfast.
After breakfast, he took Xiaoyan to the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain.
After meeting the old doctor, he immediately took out the century-old ginseng wrapped in cloth.
"Master, last night the disciple accidentally got a herb. I want Master to control his eyes, how to deal with it."
Is it this late at night that my disciple is going to collect medicine?
"This is the herb."
Lu Qing opened the cloth to reveal the ginseng inside.
"This is..." When the old doctor saw the appearance of the herb clearly, his eyes widened immediately, "This is ginseng?!"
Hush. Surprised, the old doctor directly reached out to take the cloth bag from Lu Qing's hand, picked up the ginseng and looked at it carefully.
"It is really ginseng, and it is of excellent quality, the best fresh old wild ginseng that is more than a hundred years old!"
After looking at it for a while, the old doctor let out a sigh of relief.
"Ah Qing, where did you get this ginseng? Did you go into the mountains last night?"
The old doctor looked at Lu Qing in surprise.
Hundred-year-old wild ginseng of this quality generally only grows in remote mountains and old forests that are inaccessible.
It is difficult for ordinary herb collectors to set foot in such an area.
Even he, in all his years of collecting herbs, has never come across a few.
Looking at the freshness of this ginseng, it was obviously just dug out not long ago.
How did Lu Qing get it?
Could it be possible that he ran into the deep mountains and forests last night?
But this is obviously impossible.
Faced with the old doctor's doubts, Lu Qing smiled: "Master must have never imagined who gave me this ginseng."
"Who gave it to someone else?" The old doctor was even more curious.
How could someone be so heroic as to give away such a precious century-old wild ginseng?
"It's the little black beast I told you about before. After I finished eating the fish for it last night, it brought this ginseng to me."
“It’s that little black beast?” The old doctor was shocked.
Then Lu Qing told what happened last night in detail.
Not only did the old doctor feel surprised, but Xiaoyan on the side even widened her eyes.
"It seems that this little black beast is indeed extremely spiritual and has reached the point where it can understand human nature."
After listening to Lu Qing's story, the old doctor exclaimed in amazement.
"My disciple feels the same way, I feel it may even understand what we are talking about."
The disdainful look in the eyes of the Night Spirit Lizard when he left last night.
"This is the benefit of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue." The old doctor stroked his beard and said, "If you hadn't been kind and didn't drive it away, but instead gave it fish to eat every night, how could you have such good luck today."
Am I not trying to drive it away because of my kindness? I don’t dare to drive it away at all!
Hearing his master's words, Lu Qing felt ashamed.
That little thing is very powerful, no one dares to provoke it.
"Master, according to you, this ginseng is over a hundred years old, so what is its value?" Lu Qing asked.
