Chapter 15 Shen Nong Sixteen

  "This is outrageous!"

  "This is a thousand years!"

  "Wow! What year is this? I think it's at least over two thousand years!"

  In the cramped hall of the clinic, Wu Rui's voice of surprise kept ringing out, he was simply overjoyed!

  It turned out that the batch of ginseng delivered by Ah Niu was not only over a thousand in quantity, but also had a good year. Although several decades accounted for the majority, there were no lack of hundred-year-old or even thousand-year-old old ginseng. The rich spiritual energy made Wu Rui unable to help but sniff his nose repeatedly, and he almost couldn't bear to pick one up and take a bite.

  Of course, Wu Rui really couldn't bear to be so extravagant and wasteful. It wasn't that he was stingy, it's just that he had a way of making ginseng achieve its maximum effect.

  Within a hundred years, 652 roots; one to five hundred years, 316 roots; and incredibly, 137 roots from five hundred to a thousand years! As for over a thousand years, there were actually 68 roots!! It's flourishing! It's flourishing! Wu Rui couldn't help but shout out loud in the clinic.

  Nowadays, wild ginseng that is over a hundred years old is rarely seen on earth, but now it has actually obtained such a large batch, and among them there are not a few thousand-year-old ones. As a cultivator, especially a medical cultivator, it's simply a huge fortune!

  Not only can it be used to save people with medicine, but also for self-cultivation. How could Wu Rui not be excited? He was overjoyed!

  Cultivated ginseng may be cheap, with a single root costing only tens of dollars, but wild ginseng is an entirely different story. A ten-year-old one can be worth over 10,000 yuan, and a hundred-year-old one would be worth over a million. As for thousand-year-old ginseng, it's a treasure even in the immortal realm, its value cannot be estimated with mundane currency.

  Of course, as a doctor and a cultivator of medicine, Wu Rui would absolutely not sell the ginseng in his hands unless necessary. He would keep it for his own patients or give it away as gifts. Moreover, once he breaks through to the Golden Elixir stage, he can use the Three Flavors True Fire to refine pills, and at that time, he will also need a large amount of ginseng.

  After laughing for half a day, Wu Rui finally put away the ginseng that had been sorted out into the Mina ring, and even the ginseng seedlings were not spared. Generally, ginseng seedlings are just waste products, but these are obviously not ordinary ones. Although they don't have much spiritual energy, their medicinal effect is not weak either. They can be dried in the sun and combined with other medicinal materials to stew, and the effect is exceptionally good.

  Radish arranged, Wu Rui suppressed the urge to summon the next patient and left the clinic with a flicker of thought.

  Back at the mountain stream dam, Wu Rui couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then with a thought, he took out his oversized mobile phone and dialed the old man directly.

  "Little rascal! Don't you have any sense of decency? Huh? Don't you know it's time for a nap now? Don't you know how important naps are for the elderly?" A loud, hoarse voice came from the receiver, with a hint of panting, as if doing some physical labor.

  “……” Wu Rui took the microphone away from his ear, and his mouth twitched involuntarily. Is this old man's cultivation just for sleeping? It's more like rolling in bed with Widow Wang in the mountain valley! While silently ridiculing him in her heart, Wu Rui calmly said: "I just found a 2,000-year-old ginseng, I was going to ask if you wanted it, but since you don't want it, forget it……”

  "What? Two thousand years of ginseng?" The complaining voice on the other end suddenly disappeared without a trace, and a high-pitched scream came out of the receiver, revealing the owner's shock, excitement, and incredulity.

  A thousand-year-old ginseng is already a legend on earth, let alone a two-thousand-year-old one?

  "Heh heh......" Wu Rui smiled humbly and didn't speak.

  "I'll be right there to find you!" The old man hastily left a sentence and hung up the phone.

  "…come find me?" Wu Rui stared at the phone that had been hung up in front of her, her eyes dazed and confused. Had the old man made some kind of mark on herself? But she had never discovered it before? Wu Rui examined her body from head to toe, finally stopping her gaze on the Minna ring on her index finger, suspicious in her heart, but no matter how she searched, she couldn't find anything out of place.

  He didn't think about it either, with his current medical skills, how could he possibly discover the aura left by the Medical King of the Orthodox Realm?

  Although he couldn't find any marks, Wu Rui thought for a moment and was afraid that the old man would cheat him later. He hastily entered the clinic and temporarily placed the ginseng from Mina's ring in the clinic, leaving only one 2,000-year-old, one over 100 years old, and one over 500 years old.

  Wu Rui is familiar with the old man's temperament, but does the old man know his character? Therefore, Wu Rui made sufficient preparations and absolutely cannot let that old man take advantage of him.

  At the same time, in a valley deep within the Shennongjia Mountains, an old man with a youthful face and white hair put down his beloved mobile phone and hastily got out of bed.

  However, just as he wanted to put on his clothes, a pair of jade hands wrapped around his waist and asked in a soft voice: "Sixteen, where are you going? I'm still floating on the clouds..."

  The old man with a youthful face and white hair is the "old head" in Wu Rui's mouth, the true descendant of Shennong, and also the 16th generation. His full name is Shennong Sixteenth, the only descendant of the Shennong clan, and the number one doctor in the current cultivation world, known as the Shennong Medical King.

  As the woman held him like that, Shen Nong's body trembled and he hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying: "You go back first! I have something important to attend to!"

  When he finished speaking, Shen Nong didn't wait for Liu's widow to continue pestering him and picked up the long gown at the bedside, flashing out of the room. Although the woman was tempting, the two-thousand-year-old ginseng was even more enticing, and it was especially important to him. If he could get it, he might even be able to break through to a new realm, so he had to give up...

  "Sixteen! Hurry back, someone is waiting for you in bed..."

  Shennong sixteen nearly fell from mid-air upon hearing this, and after stabilizing his body, he hastily used a large teleportation technique to instantly move to a location over 100 miles away. As he hurried towards Goose City, he couldn't help but think: The widow's desires are truly strong~~~

  Wu Rui had just left the clinic when Shen Nong 16 suddenly appeared beside him, grabbing his collar and anxiously asking, "You little scoundrel, where's the ginseng?"

  "Damn it! Old man, stop pulling my leg!" Wu Rui couldn't help but curse loudly, he was startled. Although he knew the old man was formidable, he didn't expect him to be this formidable. To think that during their conversation, they were over a thousand miles apart, and it had only been less than two minutes since he hung up the phone, yet the old man had already arrived. Over a thousand miles, in under two minutes!

  "Stop stalling! Quickly take out the ginseng!" Shen Nong's eyes were fixed on Wu Rui's Mina ring, without any intention of being polite.

  "I'll take it!" Wu Rui gritted his teeth and spat out the two words, but could only gloomily retrieve the ginseng from the ring.

  "Wow! Good guy!" With a swift and fierce movement, Shen Nong sixteen snatched the ginseng that was as thick as a radish, and couldn't help but let out a loud "wow". The dense spiritual energy and medicinal fragrance made him close his eyes and reveal a look of intoxication.

  Nowadays, the spiritual energy of the earth is thin, and even his life as a descendant of Shennong is very tight. He has planted many elixirs for one or two hundred years, but he has never seen any that are over a thousand years old. Now, seeing a top-grade ginseng that is two thousand years old, he is both shocked and secretly delighted!

  Ignoring Wu Rui beside him, he hugged the ginseng and pondered for a long time. Shen Nong Shi Liu reluctantly put the ginseng into his own Mina ring, then looked at Wu Rui with a pair of eyes overflowing with spirit light, but didn't ask about the origin of the ginseng. Instead, he chuckled and asked: "Good disciple, with your temperament, it's impossible that you don't secretly stash some away, right?"

  The old man did not ask about the origin of ginseng, which made Wu Rui breathe a slight sigh of relief. Otherwise, he really didn't know whether to tell the truth or not about the face-reading clinic. As for the old man, he was absolutely trustworthy, but Wu Rui had not yet mentally prepared himself to make the clinic's secrets public.

  Upon hearing the old man's sneer, Wu Rui suddenly had a pained expression and said: "I only got three in total. One is over 100 years old, the second is over 500 years old, and the last one is 2,000 years old. I've already given you the best one, and I'm worried that you won't be able to break through within your remaining lifespan and die. I didn't expect you to suspect me of hiding things from you, Old Man. You're really making me heartbroken~~~~~"

  Shen Nong snorted at Wu Rui's words, this disciple was raised by him with one hand holding shit and the other holding piss, how could he not understand? Now seeing Wu Rui's pretentious performance, he suddenly became even more convinced of his suspicions, and with a smile, he glanced at Wu Rui's Mina ring and asked with a sly smile: "Really?"

  Wu Rui's eyebrows slightly raised, but she still said solemnly: "Whether it's true or false, can't you see at a glance? Don't tell me that this ring that has been manipulated by someone else is something you can't detect!"

  "Haha, since my good disciple allows it, I won't be polite!" Although he clearly knew that Wu Rui was trying to test him, Shen Nong Sixteen still listened to the holy order and shamelessly invaded Wu Rui's Mina ring with his divine sense. As a result, after searching through the entire space of the Mina ring, he only saw two ginseng fruits. This result was really beyond his expectation. In his impression, this kid was very stingy!

  Could it be that this stinky brat is really worried about his own impending doom and has thus contributed the best ginseng?

  Shennong Sixteen couldn't help but feel moved at this thought, his eyes reddening to the point of almost shedding tears, thinking to himself that it wasn't a waste raising this kid...
