Chapter 9 Shenzhuang! Baishan Mountain!

Doctor He then said, "The ginseng pills I have refined should help Lingzun replenish the lost qi and blood... However, this requires excellent top-quality ginseng, but I don't have them here. You Su family needs to prepare them. The faster the better, it's best to do it within four days."

"Is ginseng? There is a ginseng village near Baishan Mountain, closest to Moshi City. There are many ginseng pickers gathering on weekdays. I will ask someone to go there immediately."

Liu Fu immediately said.

"Don't call anyone else, I'll go there in person!"

Su Hao stopped Liu Fu. He was worried that others could do the job well, so he decided to go there in person and take some insurance.

"Well..." Liu Fu nodded slightly, knowing that Su Hao was more anxious than anyone else.

Dr. He, who was standing beside him, reminded: "The medicinal properties of artificial breeding are not good, and it requires good ginseng."

Su Hao remembered Doctor He’s advice. He did not delay and immediately set off to the sanzhuang near Baishan Mountain as Liu Fu said.

Although Dr. He claimed that it would be fine within four days, the faster the better!

"This young master Su...is not an extraordinary person."

Doctor He looked at Su Hao's leaving figure and the slightly reluctant look at his granddaughter beside him, and he said in secret.

Doctor He practiced medicine throughout his life and met many strange people. Su Hao gave him a strange feeling and had a faint sense of danger! This is an aura that many warriors he has treated do not have!

Su Hao prepared two horses and transferred on the road and rushed all night. At noon on the second day, he finally arrived at the sanzhuang near Baishan Mountain.

This so-called village is like an inn. When you enter the village, many people have knives on their waists, drinking tea, and medicine baskets are placed beside them.

The ginsengzhuang is a gathering place for ginseng pickers. There are many people who need to purchase ginseng nearby, and they will come here to buy them from these ginseng pickers.

Su Hao's arrival made many people's eyes look at it. From their eyes, they could see that Su Hao's clothes were extraordinary and he was obviously not an ordinary poor boy.

Su Hao looked around and said, "I want to buy ginseng."

These ginseng pickers looked at each other and seemed a little quiet.

Until a few seconds later, a man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek and a thin monkey-like man squeezed out of the crowd. He said with a smile: "Young Master, do you want to buy ginseng? There are newly unearthed ginseng here, which is of high quality and low price. Do you want to see it?"

The rest of the ginseng pickers did not interrupt, as if this was the rule here. When guests arrived, they would take turns to do business.

"Well, let's take me to see." Su Hao nodded slightly.

"Let's go, please come here!"

The thin man immediately invited Su Hao to the second floor.

"Hahaha! If you lose, give the money quickly! give the money!"

At the door of a room on the second floor, before Su Hao could enter, he heard crazy laughter coming from inside, and someone was gambling inside the house.

"Brother Li, the guest is here."

The thin man pushed open the door and said with a cough.

Su Hao saw that there were three other big and thick men in the house, a little smoky.

"Okay! Guests are here!"

The three men's eyes lit up when they saw Su Hao behind the thin man, and they took away the gambling tools on the table in a few seconds.

"This young man needs good ginseng." The thin man said.

One of the strong men with bare chest and belly exposed their eyes at the person next to him: "Why don't you go and take out the best ginseng that just unearthed this morning?"

"yes!"

The man nodded repeatedly and entered the back room. Soon after, he walked out with a jade box.

He placed the jade box on the table and made a gesture to Su Hao.

Su Hao was not polite either. He went up to open the jade box. In the jade box was placed a ginseng plant, which was nearly one foot long. There were sparse and intermittent horizontal lines on the surface, lush roots, which looked quite good, and had a fishy smell of soil.

Su Hao looked at the ginseng plant without saying a word.

The strong man next to him boasted: "This ginseng has about 40 or 50 years of medicine. Whether it is used as medicine or soaked in wine, it has absolutely extraordinary effects. It is invigorating qi and blood, and prolongs life! You get what you pay for, and a price of 100 taels!"

One hundred taels, according to the income of ordinary people in the Daxia Dynasty, a family of three is only three to five taels of silver a month. This strong man can say 100 taels of silver at the beginning of his mouth, which is a bit like a lion's mouth.

Su Hao glanced at him expressionlessly: "It's too expensive, I'll buy it somewhere else."

"Young master... it can be cheaper, ninety taels are fine." The tall and thin man immediately grabbed Su Hao, smiling with a smile on his face.

"You sell it to someone else." Su Hao shook his head and turned toward the outside of the house.

But the strong man's face slightly darkened, and the other two understood and blocked the door.

"Young Master, are you just enjoying us? This expensive ginseng will lose its medicinal properties when you open the jade box. It's not good if you just look at it or not! If you think it's expensive, the price can be negotiated!"

The strong man said in a deep voice.

Su Hao was speechless. These guys really regarded themselves as fat sheep.

Su Hao shook his head: "Everyone, do you really have no eyesight? This ginseng is very weak in medicinal properties and is not something that grows in the wild. It can be bought in the medicine shop. What I want is the best top-quality ginseng."

As soon as these words were said, the strong man and others were secretly surprised. Su Hao looked young, but he was not easy to fool.

The ginseng they took out was not only very good, but it was artificially bred ginseng, which was not as good as one-tenth of the ginseng that grew naturally in the wild!

Originally, I thought Su Hao was a fat sheep, but Su Hao could tell it even without even looking carefully?

Of course, it was not that Su Hao knew much about ginseng, but that he had the qi-seeking technique. Just a glance could tell that the spiritual energy flowing on the surface of this ginseng was very thin, so he knew that this ginseng was not a top-grade ginseng.

But how could the strong man and others be willing to let Su Hao goat?

"Boy! My boss Li is most concerned about in business. What do you mean is that I sell you fake ginseng? If you don't say it clearly, don't want to leave easily!"

The strong man pulled out a short knife on his waist with fierce eyes and said viciously. His fierce look was enough to scare some timid people to tremble.

The strong man and others were obviously planning to buy and sell for a forced sale.

Su Hao's eyes were slightly cold, without any warning. His right hand poked out like lightning. In the shocked eyes of the strong man, he held the blade of the short knife with his thumb and index finger, and then he used his two fingers to exert force.

"Crack!"

Amid the crisp sound of shattering, the short metal knife broke from the middle as Su Hao pinched her two fingers!
