CHAPTER 109: CHAPTER 109: IDENTIFYING MEDICINAL HERBS

"Father, people like Young Master Nan are wealthy, saying they want to take a look. Maybe they intend to buy it!" Gu Nian didn’t speak too confidently since it wasn’t confirmed yet.

Lin Sanshui thought about it and felt it made sense, so he nodded and agreed, "Alright then, can you take it there by yourself? Do you want me to go with you?"

Gu Nian shook her head, "Don’t worry, I can handle it. Besides, they just said they want to take a look; they didn’t say they want to buy it. If you go with me, wouldn’t that seem too imposing?"

"That’s true." Lin Sanshui nodded, reluctantly picking up the well-wrapped ginseng and handed it over while advising, "Niannian, even though the atmosphere in our village is good, you must be cautious. Do not open the package on the road, and don’t tell anyone about our family finding ginseng, understand?"

Lin Sanshui had already instructed all the children in the family.

Gu Nian, not really being six years old, naturally understood the wisdom of not flaunting wealth and nodded, "I got it. I’ll head over now."

Gu Nian took the ginseng and ran outside.

When Gu Nian arrived, Nan Jin Yu was still sitting motionlessly in the same spot.

"I’ve brought it." She smiled sweetly, approaching him.

The ginseng was carefully wrapped by Lin Sanshui in scraps of fabric from home. Gu Nian unwrapped three layers before discovering an additional layer of leaves inside.

After removing everything, Gu Nian handed over the ginseng with fresh soil at its root to Nan Jin Yu, "This is it."

Nan Jin Yu didn’t immediately take it. Instead, he gestured for her to place the ginseng on the small table nearby.

After Gu Nian did so, Nan Jin Yu glanced over at it.

Nan Jin Yu had been in poor health since childhood and was sent to Divine Doctor Valley for recuperation. Although he didn’t study medicine, he learned a few things through observation.

In particular, he became adept at identifying medicinal materials, having seen various precious herbs in Divine Doctor Valley. With just one glance, he could judge their quality.

The ginseng before him was obviously mature, with a thick main root and a dense texture, ranking in the top grade of quality.

Moreover, judging by its appearance, it must be four or five hundred years old.

Nan Jin Yu couldn’t help but feel skeptical.

The Lin Family were ordinary people without a trace of martial prowess, usually only venturing to the outskirts of the mountain.

To find a ginseng that was a few decades old might be considered lucky, but a ginseng of four or five hundred years is rare even deep within the mountains.

Gu Nian couldn’t help but feel uneasy as Nan Jin Yu remained silent and didn’t even take a close look at the ginseng.

"Nan, have you looked at it properly?" Gu Nian asked tentatively.

Only then did Nan Jin Yu snap out of his thoughts, offering a gentle smile, "This ginseng’s quality is quite good. How much silver is your family planning to sell it for?"

That implied he intended to buy it!

Gu Nian frowned, "I forgot to ask when I came here, I don’t know either. Besides, my father originally wanted to take it to the town pharmacy for them to set a price. Except knowing it’s valuable, he’s not very familiar with it."

Perhaps because Nan Jin Yu had always been kind to her, Gu Nian still trusted him in such small matters.

Of course, excluding the secrets of the space.

She was even contemplating how she could help him treat his leg without exposing the space.

Nan Jin Yu didn’t seem that old—such a handsome and charming young man. It would indeed be a pity if he spent his entire life confined to a wheelchair.
