"Doctor Lin, is there any more porridge?" Lin Chengzu raised the bowl in his hand again and asked. "Mr. Lin, there's no more!" Lin Ming said. He had already increased the amount of porridge when he was cooking, but he did not expect it to be eaten up so quickly.
Only then did Lin Chengzu realize that Qin Haodong hadn't eaten yet, and he couldn't help but blush. At this moment, Little Yan 'er patted her round belly and said,""Uncle Godly Doctor, the porridge you made is too delicious. Yan 'er hasn't had enough yet!”Lin Ming said," Yan 'er's illness has just recovered. You can't eat too much at one time. Uncle will make it for you in the future!"”
"Alright then!" The little fella continued," Uncle Miracle Doctor, can you send me to kindergarten?”"Not today. Uncle still has something to do later. I'll send you to kindergarten tomorrow, okay?”
Lin Ming did have something to do. He had promised to be Lin Yan's godfather. It was the first time his daughter called him 'daddy', so he had to give her a present. This was also the reason why he had not acknowledged her as his goddaughter. He had to go out and prepare a present later. Because she had promised Lin Kaiyan to recognize Lin Yan as her goddaughter, she would probably explain it to Lin Chengzu later!
"Alright then, Uncle Miracle Doctor, you must keep your word. Let's pinky swear!”As the little guy spoke, he stretched out his fair little finger and hooked it with Lin Ming. After breakfast, Lin Kaiyan took Little Yanzi to kindergarten. Lin Mingshun also left the Lin family's house to send Little Huan to kindergarten. Wenming's school wasn't far from the other school!
After saying goodbye to Xiao Huan, Lin Ming remembered that Xiao Yan 'er's fever had reminded him that children were weak and prone to illness. The best way to change this situation was to cleanse their bones. Since he had promised to acknowledge Xiao Yan as his goddaughter, he had to give Xiao Yan a Marrow Cleansing Pill. Refining the Marrow Cleansing Pill was not a problem for a ninth qi layer cultivator like him. All he had to do was gather the ingredients. After leaving the kindergarten, he went to the medicinal herb market in the western suburbs of Guang City. The market was very big. After walking through the gate, there was a small stall that was nearly a kilometer long. Then there was a huge medicinal herb wholesale city. The wholesale city was filled with large-scale medicinal herbs wholesalers. The quality of the medicinal herbs was relatively high, so the price was naturally higher. The stalls outside were filled with medicinal herbs picked from the mountains by the nearby farmers. They were placed here to sell them. The prices were relatively cheap, but it was also a mix of good and bad people. It was easy to buy fake medicine.
As a cultivator, he was very sensitive to spiritual energy. He could tell the authenticity and age of the herbs with just a glance. The two most important ingredients for making the Marrow Cleansing Pill were a hundred-year-old Lingzhi and ginseng. He slowly walked along the stalls outside, but he still found nothing after walking for half a day. After all, there were too few wild medicinal herbs in this era, let alone treasures that were over a hundred years old. Seeing that the scattered stalls were about to reach the end, his eyes suddenly lit up. He finally found a hundred-year-old lingzhi on one of the stalls.
The stall owner was a middle-aged man in his forties. He looked very eye-catching among the many stalls. It was currently the midsummer season in Guang City. The owners of the other stalls were wearing very little, and some were even bare-chested. However, he was wearing long clothes and trousers, covering himself tightly as if he was afraid of catching a cold. Even so, the middle-aged man's face was still pale and his spirit was exhausted.
"Boss, how much is this?" Lin Ming pointed at the Hundred Years Spirit Herb at the stall owner's feet and asked.
Hearing that there was business coming, the stall owner was somewhat spirited. He widened his small eyes and said,"This is an aged lingzhi. It costs 50,000 yuan!”
"Fifty thousand?" Lin Ming looked surprised and said," Boss, isn't your price a little too expensive?”In fact, he was surprised that the boss was selling it too cheaply. According to the normal market price, a hundred years old lingzhi would be sold for more than five hundred thousand yuan. It seemed that the middle-aged man only knew that this lingzhi was a little old, but he did not know that it was over a hundred years old. One had to know that in the Age of Chaos, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was thin. It was indeed rare for the secular world to produce spiritual herbs!
As a modern youth, he wouldn't lose out if he could make a profit. Lin Ming said,""This zoysia doesn't look good. It looks like it's been on display for a long time. Ordinary people won't buy it. How about this? 30,000 yuan, no more.”
The stall owner hesitated for a moment. Although this Lingzhi was quite old, it was indeed not very popular. He had been here for more than a month and still could not sell it. "Alright, thirty thousand dollars." After all, it was not easy to sell medicinal herbs that were too expensive in their individual stalls. The rich had all gone to the wholesale city. They were afraid of buying fake goods here.
Lin Ming was delighted. With this Hundred Year Spirit Herb, he had solved the problem of one of the main herbs. He took out his bank card and was about to pass it to the stall owner to pay.
Suddenly, Lin Ming touched her hand and was stunned. He said indifferently,""Boss, you're sick."
"You're the one who's sick. Your whole family is sick.”The stall owner was suddenly angered by Lin Ming's words.
"Don't be angry. I really want this lingzhi!”Lin Mingyun said calmly," I don't plan to buy it with money. Believe it or not, you will definitely give it to me willingly later, or even for free."”
"Free gift? Are you talking in your sleep?" The stall owner laughed in anger and looked at Lin Ming as if he was a lunatic. In his opinion, this guy was either brainless or came to dig up trouble. He still thought that he would give it away for free. He was not crazy, so why would he give it to him for free?
Lin Ming looked at the stall owner playfully and said,""Have you been afraid of the cold recently and your waist and knees are sore?”
The stall owner was slightly stunned, but he soon understood. In the entire medicinal herb market, he was the one who wore the most clothes. It was not strange to see that he was afraid of the cold.
However, the young man's next words shocked him." If I'm not wrong, your symptoms have been present for about three months. The overall symptoms are fear of the cold, weakness in your waist and knees, and weakness in your limbs. These are all secondary. The most important thing is that your little brother has not been doing well recently, right?”
The stall owner was stunned. If Lin Ming had only mentioned these physical symptoms, it might have been a guess, but three months was definitely not something that could be randomly guessed. Other than himself and his wife, no one else knew that his little brother could not do it. However, this young man casually said it. It seemed that he was not simple. "How did you know?" He asked in surprise.
"I'm a Chinese doctor. Of course, I can tell.”Lin Ming said lightly," I also saw that you went to a very cold and strange place before you fell sick. From then on, you had this illness, right?”
The stall owner's expression became even more sluggish. Herbal gatherers like them often wandered around, going to remote mountains and lakes. Once, he went to a gloomy valley. It was very strange there. It was clearly past winter, but it was bone-chilling cold. Although he quickly withdrew after picking a medicinal herb, he had contracted this strange disease since then. However, he had never told anyone about this. How did this person in front of him know?
"What, did I say something wrong?" Looking at the stall owner's expression, Qin Haodong knew that he was right. He said with a regretful expression," If I'm wrong, then I don't want this medicinal herb anymore. I'll turn around and leave now. However, you've lost your only chance to be cured. You might have to become a eunuch from now on. Don't blame me for not reminding you..."
He had earned some money from picking herbs over the years and had just married a wife who was ten years younger. The two of them used to live a happy and harmonious life. Ever since they came back, it had become like this. His wife would quarrel with him every now and then. If this continued, even if they did not divorce, they would not be far from being cheated on.
For a man, there was nothing more tragic than the second-in-charge being unable to recover. He had taken a lot of medicine and seen many doctors, but there was no effect at all. Some people even advised him to have a surgery…He did not expect to meet a young man who was buying things today. Not only did he tell him his symptoms, but he also said that it could be treated. He could not believe it.
Lin Ming said," I treat people by fate. You can choose to believe it or not. I won't force you. But since I can see it, I naturally have a way to treat it."”
"I believe you! I believe you!" The stall owner grabbed Lin Ming's arm as if he was holding onto a life-saving straw and said," As long as you can cure my illness, I'll give you all the herbs here, let alone this Chinese Knotweed."”
Lin Ming continued," If I'm not wrong, the place you went to is a place of extreme Yin. The Yin energy there is too strong. Fortunately, you didn't stay there for long. If you stayed longer, you might have lost your life. Even so, your kidney yang is severely depleted. If you don't get treatment in time, I'm afraid you only have two years to live."”
"Then what should we do? Little brother, you have to save me, no matter how much it costs!”The stall owner's face turned even paler when he saw Lin Ming's precise words.
"Don't be nervous. As long as the cause is found, this illness is still very easy to treat.”Lin Ming took out a needle bag from his pocket." You'll be fine as long as I give you two needles!”
"Really?" The stall owner still couldn't believe it. He had seen many famous doctors, but they couldn't cure him even after spending a lot of money.
"You'll know if it's real or fake after you try it. I didn't ask for your money.”
The stall owner thought about it and agreed. The lingzhi was still in his hands. If he couldn't cure it, he would only suffer a few injections. There wouldn't be much loss. If he could cure it, he could exchange it for the happiness of the rest of his life. "Alright, I'm willing to give it a try."”
Lin Ming asked the stall owner to turn around, then he raised his hand and inserted two silver needles into the Shenshu acupoints on both sides. Others could not cure this illness, but it was very simple for him. If his kidney yang was damaged, he could just replenish his yang qi. The stall owner felt a slight chill on his back, followed by two streams of hot air rising. Then, a long-lost warmth swept through his entire body, sweeping away the cold aura that had troubled him for many days.
It didn't take long for Lin Ming to take out the silver needles and ask," How do you feel?”
"Alright, I'm really alright!" The stall owner's face was filled with excitement and he almost jumped up. Although he did not do any examination, his entire body was filled with strength. Most importantly, his little brother could feel it again. All of this proved that the young man in front of him was not lying to him. "Thank you, little brother. These medicinal herbs are all yours!”The stall owner's eyes lit up with excitement and he almost knelt down. This matter had always been a thorn in his heart. He even felt that there was no point in living. He did not expect that it would be miraculously cured today.
"I don't need that many. I'll just choose a few.”Lin Ming took a bag from the stall and put the Hundred Year Spirit Herb inside before choosing some herbs he needed. I'm sorry! I didn't recognize Mount Tai, the stall owner said.
Lin Ming waved his hand and walked towards the wholesale market. He looked at the bag in his hand. Although it was not heavy, it was really a hindrance. If only there was a storage ring. Unfortunately, according to Xiao Huan, it was difficult to refine without the necessary materials. There might be a chance to encounter the remains of predecessors in the secular world. Otherwise, it would only be found in those small worlds!
As he walked, he thought about what his son had taught him. He saw that the shops here were all very large, far from the retail stalls outside. However, a hundred-year-old ginseng was a rare medicinal herb. He had gone to more than ten shops but could not find it. A kind-hearted shop owner said to him,""Little brother, if you want to buy these rare herbs, you can only go to the Flame Emperor Pavilion to try. They have wild herbs and many of them are very old. If the Flame Emperor Pavilion doesn't have them, then we can't buy them here.”
Lin Ming thanked him profusely and followed the shop owner's instructions to the largest shop in the mall. When he arrived in front of the Flame Emperor Pavilion, he couldn't help but praise it in his heart. It was indeed the biggest shop in the mall. As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the shop, he could smell the fragrance of herbs. The shop was bustling with people. Lin Ming took a walk around. The spiritual energy here was indeed denser than other shops. It was obvious that they were picked from the wild and not artificially cultivated. Just as he was about to ask the waiter if there were any ginseng herbs over a hundred years old, a few people walked in.
The person walking in front was a burly old man. Although his hair and beard were already white, his aura was extraordinary. There was an unconcealable iron bone and hot-blooded aura on his body. Qin Haodong could keenly sense that this old man must have been a soldier before, and not an ordinary soldier. Next to the old man was a tall young woman with a ponytail. Her appearance was comparable to Lin Kaiyan's, and her whole body was filled with a heroic spirit. What do you mean? Like a blooming rose…
Behind the old man and the beautiful woman stood two tall and strong young men. They also had extraordinary auras and seemed to be bodyguards. After seeing these people, Lin Ye's heart was slightly moved. He keenly felt the fluctuation of Internal Qi from the old man and the young woman. These two people were actually martial artists. Moreover, he was an ancient martial artist that was rarely seen in recent years! After the old man entered, the waiter who was originally with Lin Ming quickly went up to him and said politely,"Old Master, you're here!"
Have the herbs I asked for arrived? The old man asked. "We're here, we're here. Please rest in the VIP room first. I'll go get it now!”The steward then led the old man and the others to the VIP room at the side. Then, he turned around and entered the storeroom. Soon, he came out with a red brocade box.
Lin Ming's pupils constricted when he saw the big red brocade box. He could acutely feel an abundant spiritual energy. Even the spiritual energy emitted by the hundred-year-old Lingzhi in his pocket was far less dense than this thing. This was a hundred-year-old medicine. It could even be said to be far older than a hundred years. It seemed to be more than three hundred years old. After making a preliminary judgment in his heart, Lin Ming followed the manager to the door of the VIP room. He wanted to see what treasure was in the box.
Old Master, this is a 500-year-old medicine that our big boss found with all his strength! As he spoke, he opened the lid of the brocade box and revealed a blood-red ginseng in front of the old man.
Sensing the increasingly dense spiritual energy, Lin Ming was amazed. This was a blood ginseng, and it was definitely more than 500 years old. Although this thing was far inferior to the top-grade natural treasures in the cultivation world, it was definitely a treasure that was hard to find in the secular world. One must know that this was the Dharma Ending Age where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was thin!
