Returning to the pharmacy, Lin Baode ordered no one to disturb him, and then led Zhao Rui directly to his home on the third floor.
Putting the thousand-year-old ginseng treasure on the coffee table, Lin Baode coughed twice and asked, "Little brother, what's your name?"
"My surname is Zhao."
"Oh." Lin Baode nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Xiao Zhao, let me tell you, this ginseng of yours is not an ordinary product, but a rare treasure that can be met but not sought after. It is called the Millennium Ginseng Emperor. It takes thousands of years to form this appearance by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, the essence of the sun and the moon. If it is used as "medicine", it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life.
This resurrection from the dead is probably a bit exaggerated, but it is not an exaggeration to use it as "medicine" to treat many incurable diseases. I have practiced medicine for decades, and this is the first time I have seen the emperor of the millennium! "
Hearing what he said, Zhao Rui suddenly felt that this old Chinese doctor really deserved his reputation, and his character was very good. Facing such a treasure, if anyone was a little bit greedy, they would probably be thinking about how to get the thousand-year-old ginseng from him. The emperor was fooled away, but this old Chinese doctor told the truth without any concealment. This kind of quality can be said to be very precious in today's society.
"It seems that I was lucky to get such a treasure." Zhao Rui said with a smile.
Lin Baode didn't speak, just stroked his beard, stared at the thousand-year-old Ginseng Emperor on the coffee table, and refused to move away. After hesitating for a while, he finally said:
"Xiao Zhao, let me discuss something with you."
"Huh? What's the matter?"
Lin Baode said: "Can you sell me some of this thousand-year-old ginseng? Not too much, just a small piece is fine. Of course, this thousand-year-old ginseng is a rare treasure, and the price will naturally not be cheap. Just ask for a price, and I will I will do my best to meet your request."
Zhao Rui didn't know about Mrs. Lin's stroke, so after hearing what Lin Baode said, he felt that he seemed to be willing to lose his family and property in order to get a thousand-year-old ginseng emperor. Although the emperor is precious, it is just a ginseng after all, you wouldn't put all your wealth on it, would you?"
Lin Baode smiled wryly: "In order to treat my wife's illness, my family has already been exhausted, and there is not much left. That money is definitely not enough. However, I have practiced medicine for many years, and I still have a few friends. There should be no problem for them to get together."
"Your wife is sick?" Zhao Rui was a little surprised. With Lin Baode's medical skills, he couldn't cure his wife, which means the problem is quite serious.
Lin Baode sighed heavily. His voice became desolate: "My wife had a sudden severe cerebral apoplexy a year ago. Although I rescued her and saved her life, her brain nerves and blood vessels were damaged, her body was half paralyzed, and she sometimes lost her mind. Clearly, I have completely lost the ability to take care of myself. In order to cure her, I racked my brains and finally came up with a prescription that is beneficial to her condition, but the most important "medicine" on this prescription is— Millennium Ginseng Emperor, but I can’t get it, even if I have money, I can’t buy it. Without the Millennium Ginseng Emperor, my prescription won’t work, and I’m so anxious about it now!
However, Xiao Zhao, you brought this thousand-year-old ginseng to appear, but you gave me hope in despair. This thousand-year-old ginseng is extremely miraculous, just use a small portion, use it as "medicine", and slowly heal, My wife's illness should be curable.
So, I hope you will definitely sell me a little Ginseng King, it doesn’t need a lot, just a short section is enough! "
Speaking of this, Lin Baode's expression was a little excited, and he looked at Zhao Rui expectantly, with a pleading tone in his tone, hoping that he would agree.
This old Chinese doctor... is a good person.
Zhao Rui thought so in his heart. From Lin Baode's words, he could feel the old man's affection for his wife.
Lin Baode's wife is no longer able to take care of herself, but this old Chinese medicine doctor persists and does his best to restore his wife's health even at the expense of his family. This dedication and affection have already quietly moved her. Zhao Rui.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Rui said, "Professor Lin, since the Millennium Ginseng Emperor is so important to you, it doesn't hurt to give you the whole root."
"Huh? Give the whole... to me?"
Lin Baode opened his mouth wide in surprise, almost thinking that his ears had heard it wrong!
Even a small piece of thousand-year-old ginseng is far more expensive than gold and diamonds. If the whole piece is sold, there will definitely be a lot of wealthy and high-ranking officials rushing to buy it. It is not a problem to sell it for a sky-high price. The young man casually gave this treasure to himself!
He couldn't believe it!
"This....This is really too precious..." Lin Baode stuttered a bit even when he spoke. Although he desperately needed the thousand-year-old ginseng emperor, he knew the value of this immortal ginseng, and he really didn't dare to accept such a precious ginseng. treasure.
"I haven't finished my words yet." Zhao Rui smiled, "I'm not unconditional. I need you to help me identify one more thing. If you can identify it, then it will be given to you with the Millennium Ginseng Emperor. As a reward for this identification. If you can’t identify it, um, I will also leave a piece of Millennium Ginseng Emperor to treat your wife’s illness, but the rest will be taken away, what do you think?”
He has now entered the middle stage of seizing spirits, and the thousand-year-old ginseng has not been of much help to his cultivation, but the unknown snow ginseng can greatly increase the true energy in his body, so he really wants to find out about this strange snow ginseng. The origin of ginseng. Even if you pay a millennium ginseng emperor for this, it is worth it.
Lin Baode was very surprised. Although he didn't know what treasure Zhao Rui wanted him to appraise, he was sure that this treasure was more precious than the Millennium Ginseng Emperor.
In any case, Zhao Rui's proposal was so tempting that he couldn't help but not agree.
"Okay, Xiao Zhao, take out the treasure that needs to be appraised and show it to me."
Zhao Rui nodded, and put his hand under the coffee table, which was the blind spot of Lin Baode's line of sight, then he quietly took out a snow ginseng from the Qiankun Ring, and put it on the coffee table.
When Lin Baode saw this snow ginseng, he couldn't help frowning. He felt that this snow ginseng was really weird, but it seemed a little familiar, as if he had read related records in some medical book.
Suddenly, he remembered that when he was still young, he saw a description about snow ginseng in an out-of-print ancient medical classic:
In ancient times, there was a thousand-year-old immortal ginseng, which absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, and the essence of the sun and the moon. After thousands of years, it turned into a human form, with a snow-white body and a strange fragrance, like a cloud. It is the most precious treasure of the immortal family, which can be met but not sought. After eating, it can revive the dead and rejuvenate the old. If it is used to refine the elixir, the cultivation base will be greatly improved, and the mana will be magical.
For a long time, Lin Baode has always been skeptical about whether things like Wannian immortal ginseng are real or a myth.
After all, he has been practicing medicine for decades, and he has quite a lot of knowledge, but he has never seen the Wannian Immortal Ginseng, and he has never even heard of it being mentioned. The Millennium Ginseng Emperor is already the best of the best.
Unexpectedly, someone put Wannian Immortal Ginseng in front of his eyes today!
Lin Baode stared at Zhao Rui in shock, and suddenly felt that the young man sitting in front of him seemed to be covered in a layer of fog, which made people feel mysterious.
At this moment, he understood why Zhao Rui didn't even pay attention to rare treasures like the Millennium Ginseng Emperor. It turned out that he still possessed the Ten Thousand Year Immortal Ginseng, a fairy that only appeared in legends!
"Where did you get this Ten Thousand Years Immortal Ginseng? This is a fairy that only exists in legends!"
"By chance, I got it by chance." Zhao Rui replied vaguely.
"A coincidence?" The astonishment on Lin Baode's face turned into a wry smile. What a chance it must be to get such a fairy thing!
Looking carefully at Zhao Rui's eyes, he found that he didn't show any surprise when he learned that the treasure was the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Ginseng. He didn't seem to care much about it. The ten thousand year ginseng in his hand may not be the only one.
"Xiao Zhao, I'm afraid you have more than one ten thousand year ginseng in your hand." He asked tentatively.
Although Zhao Rui felt that Lin Baode was a very good person, but it was the first time they met today and they didn't know each other very well, so he didn't want to reveal all the details.
However, he didn't want to deceive the old man in front of him, so he didn't answer directly, but just smiled and said: "I accidentally ate a raw one yesterday."
Zhao Rui's words were ambiguous. It can be understood that there are only two ten thousand year ginseng in total, and after eating one, only the one in front of him is left; it can also be understood that he has a lot of ten thousand year ginseng, so he doesn't care even if he eats one. As for how to understand it, it is completely up to the individual.
"Huh? Eat it raw? You ate the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Ginseng raw!"
When Lin Baode heard this, his blood pressure suddenly rose, and he was so distressed that he almost fainted. As for how many thousand-year-old ginseng Zhao Rui had in his hand, he had no time to think about it.
"That's not some radish and cabbage, but the Ten Thousand Years Immortal Ginseng, a legendary fairy! Just a small piece can cure terminal illness and bring people back to life! This is something that even the super-rich and high-ranking political officials can't think of." Dare to think about the treasure of the fairy family, but you eat it raw! Eat it raw! You are really... really... "
Speaking of this, he was a little out of breath.
After finally letting out a sigh of relief, Lin Baode raised his head and let out a long sigh: "Reckless waste, what a wasteful waste! Such a precious treasure is eaten raw by you like this!"
After sighing, Lin Baode quickly put away the thousand-year-old ginseng on the coffee table. He really needed this ginseng so much, and he was really afraid that Zhao Rui would throw this treasure away again.
Even the guy who dares to eat raw ginseng of ten thousand years, the emperor of this thousand year ginseng will naturally not take it seriously.
Zhao Rui didn't think he had anything to waste. The Wannian Immortal Ginseng strengthened the true energy in his body and accelerated his cultivation speed. For a cultivator, this is the most important thing.
As for getting rid of the terminal illness and bringing the dead back to life, it has nothing to do with him.
In addition, there are still many in the Qiankun ring, even if you eat ten or eight more, you don't need to care too much, it is a waste if you don't eat.
Of course, Lin Baode was not from the cultivation world, and he didn't know much about cultivation. Zhao Rui felt that it was understandable that he was heartbroken.
