Chapter 370: Little kid ginseng
The auction continued, and Li Tian and Catherine gradually entered a good state.
“It’s actually a very rare spirit-cleansing herb. Didn’t martial uncle say that this herb can be used to cleanse one’s marrow? I’m buying!”
The monk finally knew how rich this Feng Tang was. Most of the people who appeared this time were martial artists, about the same as the monk. There were seven or eight of them from China.
As a result, a relatively rare herb immediately caused a fight.
However, the monk had just received a large sum of money. Who could compete with him?
Marrow cleansing was a professional term in martial arts. It was to use many precious medicinal herbs to cook a bucket of soup, and then people would steam it with all their might. As long as the temperature was controlled, the medicinal power of those medicinal herbs would enter the body, and all the impurities and toxins in the body would be expelled.
However, not everyone could do this. First, one had to have perseverance, followed by a suitable physique. Otherwise, it was easy to cause major problems.
Most sects would start training their successors when they were young. After the marrow cleansing, they would be able to practice martial arts with half the effort.
Spirit-cleansing grass was one of the more important ones, and it was even hard to find.
The monk didn’t expect to see three trees here at once. Naturally, he would take them down at all costs.
This kind of thing might not be very expensive, but sometimes, it could not be bought with money.
Three of them cost a total of five million US dollars, but the monk still felt that it was very cheap.
At this time, seven had already put all his attention on the auction. Although he didn’t know why Feng Tang was willing to put such a precious item up for auction, it had nothing to do with anyone else when it was in his hands.
“The next item is one of the finale items of this auction. Perhaps everyone has heard of ginseng before, but I dare to bet that no one here has ever seen this ginseng before. It is A ginseng baby!”
The auctioneer even specially explained it to them. Then, a maidservant walked up with a tray. The moment the auctioneer finished speaking, the entire venue burst into a commotion.
Ginseng was very popular all over the world. It wasn’t just China that liked it, because the effects of ginseng were too powerful.
Little kid ginseng was a very attractive name. When the tray was opened, everyone sucked in a cold breath.
Why? The thing on the tray looked like a little doll, about 20 centimeters in size.
It looked a little like the legendary ginseng fruit. It was completely white and had some roots.
“This is a wild ginseng. According to our auctioneer’s appraisal, it’s over 500 years old. It looks like a baby, so it’s called a ginseng baby. I don’t need to elaborate on the effects of ginseng, but this ginseng definitely has the ability to bring the dead back to life, and it might even have the effect of prolonging life!”
This effect was too heaven-defying. Until now, no one had ever heard of anything that could bring the dead back to life. Even the seven-core Begonia seed that Li Tian had obtained the last time was just in line with old man Wen’s condition. It wasn’t that old man Wen hadn’t taken ginseng, but was it effective?
Ginseng could prolong one’s life, but there was a limit to it. At most, it could only last one or two days. It was still far from being able to revive the dead.
“We must get this!”
Li Tian had been in the middle of a fierce battle with Catherine, but when he suddenly heard about the auction item, he immediately told seven.
“I know. This thing is definitely useful to the ghost king!”
Yes, the two of them had the same thought. The ghost king had consumed too much blood essence last time, and Li Tian had been trying to find something useful for him. Now, it had come to him.
There were almost no 500-year-old wild ginseng. Who had seen a 1000-year-old wild ginseng?
The starting price was 10 million US dollars. It was obvious that the final bid was definitely much higher than this.
The monk didn’t lack money now. As long as someone offered a price, he would definitely lower it. He was determined to get what he needed, and he didn’t care if the other party was unhappy.
So what if you’re unhappy? If you have the ability, then throw money at me.
In the end, there really was a guy who threw money at him because he really wanted the ginseng baby. It just so happened that a very important person on his side was in trouble. If he could get the ginseng baby, it might save his life.
For this reason, he and the monk raised the price to five billion US dollars.
What could be traded for such a price? Generally speaking, no matter how precious an item was, there would always be a limit. However, no one knew where the limit was for something that could save a life.
The other party was prepared to go bankrupt to fight the monk, but the monk was still very relaxed.
10 billion!”
The monk raised his sign again and directly doubled it, making that person completely lose his ability to compete. He definitely had this amount of money with all his assets, but he couldn’t take out so much cash. What he needed at the auction was cash.
In the end, it was seven who took the box. After paying, the box was delivered to seven. At this time, Li Tian and Catherine were almost done. Catherine was covered in sweat as she snuggled in Li Tian’s arms.
“Let’s see if it’s true. ‘
He Shang took a look at it and handed it to Li Tian.
Li Tian opened the box and smelled a fragrant aroma, which immediately made him sober up.
Was this the fragrance of medicine?
This was the first time Li Tian had such a thought. It seemed that medicinal herbs of this grade had their own unique aspects.
“This fragrance is very refreshing. Also, looking at the material, it should be ginseng without a doubt.”
The roots of a ginseng were very obvious. Li Tian and the others were not little white and had come into contact with it many times. Naturally, they would not treat this ginseng as a white radish.
“The ginseng is for sure. I’ve never smelled such a fragrance before. The ghost king said that herbs with spiritual energy will produce a medicinal fragrance after growing for a certain period of time. Could it be this kind?”
The monk’s knowledge of medicine was superficial, so he couldn’t be sure.
“Maybe. Let’s take it back first. You can call and ask later … Forget it, I’ll take it back and give it to him personally. It’s not long until the new year. I guess he’ll be out of seclusion soon.”
“Alright, keep it then.”
Li Tian didn’t notice that when he opened the box, Catherine, who was snuggling in his arms, secretly covered her nose with her hand.
When the auction ended, the monk didn’t make a move. The four of them returned to their rooms immediately.
Because of Catherine’s arrival, seven naturally had to prepare another room for her. For Li Tian’s convenience, he also prepared a room for Gu Yue Xin.
