In the Hundred Herb Garden, the manservant in charge of serving the guests saw Ning Caichen's figure appear again. His eyes immediately lit up and he respectfully went up to welcome him.
Last time, when he had brought this young master into the ginseng garden to facilitate the transaction, the ginseng garden's shopkeeper had rewarded him greatly. This time, seeing this young master again, how could the servant not be excited?
"Young master Ning, are you still going to the ginseng garden this time?”
"Lead the way," Ning Caichen nodded.”
The Ginseng Garden was a small garden within the Hundred Herb Garden. If he wanted to go there, he needed someone to guide him. Otherwise, he would have gone there directly. It would not have been so difficult.
When he arrived at the ginseng garden, he saw an old man who was over fifty years old but had an extremely unique aura. He was smiling as he basked in the sun in front of the garden.
Upon seeing the old man, Ning Caichen cupped his hands and said,""Old man, Cai Chen has disturbed you again.”
The old man chuckled." Young Master Ning has come to give me something good again. There's no need to bother me. I can't ask for more."”
As he spoke, he led Ning Caichen into the garden.
As soon as they entered the ginseng garden, they could immediately feel a medicinal fragrance assaulting their faces. Just a breath was enough to make one feel relaxed and happy.
When he looked again, he could see green leaves and red flowers. The ginseng plant did not look very delicate. Ning Caichen looked away after a brief glance and inadvertently glanced at the old man.
Last time, he didn't find anything strange. Now that his soul path had reached the late-stage of level one, the soul path was different from other paths. Cultivating the soul path wouldn't increase one's lethality or anything, but the soul path had its own unique characteristics. The soul body was bright, so it could naturally see things that ordinary people couldn't.
This old man and this ginseng garden didn't seem to be as simple as it looked.
There was Qi on the old man's body. It was not martial arts, spells, demons, devils, or ghosts. It was an extremely pure spiritual Qi.
He casually covered his forehead with his hair and silently activated the scan. Instantly, the old man's information was exposed.
[Name: Thousand Year Ginseng King]
[Grade: Tier 3]
[Description: The old ginseng king suffered a great demon mark on his body. He lives in the Hundred Herb Garden and hides his mark with the spiritual energy of hundreds of herbs to survive.]
Ning Caichen's eyes narrowed. The thousand-year ginseng king was really an incredible guy.
Ginseng was a very tragic thing. They had amazing medicinal properties. They could awaken their spirits in a hundred years, become kings in a thousand years, and become emperors in ten thousand years. A drop of medicinal liquid from a thousand-year-old King Pharmacist was enough to live to the death, and a ten-thousand-year King Pharmacist was rumored to be able to move even immortals and gods. Unfortunately, this kind of life did not have the strength to match its own strength. Although this old ginseng king was evaluated as a third-grade, his combat strength might not even be comparable to some peak second-grade.
"Noble Son Ning, how many years of old ginseng do you need this time? This old man will find them for you.”
The old ginseng king suddenly interrupted Ning Caichen's thoughts. Ning Caichen's eyes turned and he suddenly changed his mind. His original goal was to buy a hundred-year-old spirit ginseng. A hundred-year-old ginseng could no longer be called a ginseng. Instead, it was a spirit ginseng.
But now, he didn't think so.
Ning Caichen did not reply to the old man directly. Instead, he picked up the small box that he had been holding and placed it on a stone table. Then, he opened the box.
In an instant, rows of golden gold bars were revealed. They were exceptionally dazzling under the sunlight.
The old man's expression changed slightly.”
Ning Caichen smiled and pushed a box of gold bars to the other side."Old man, I wonder if these Adu items can buy something from this old man?”
The old man's expression was somewhat restrained. He looked at Ning Caichen and frowned slightly. This amount of money was not a small amount. He could buy a bunch of ginseng that was less than a hundred years old. However, this Young Master Ning only wanted to buy one thing. This was obviously abnormal.
Could it be that this kid had noticed something?
After a moment of silence, the old man said in a deep voice,""May I ask young master, what do you want to buy?”
" It's not too much," Ning Caichen said." Just a strand of the old man's beard will do."”
In the next moment, the air above the ginseng garden became extremely oppressive. The old man's expression became very stiff."This old man doesn't understand Young Master Ning's meaning. It's not convenient to receive guests today, so please go back for the time being.”
Ning Caichen did not say anything. Instead, he picked up his robe and waved it at the ginseng garden. Instantly, the oppressive aura in the sky dissipated.
The old man's expression changed abruptly. He looked deeply at Ning Caichen and said,""What a fine Young Master Ning. I didn't realize that Young Master actually had such profound cultivation last time.”
Ning Caichen smiled." Old man, you don't have to be wary. I don't have any other requirements. I only need one or two strands of your beard."”
After saying that, he turned to look at the entire ginseng garden."Moreover, you and I may be able to cooperate even more in the future. Although the old man is in the Hundred Treasures Garden, using the spiritual energy of the hundred herbs to cover his body, he still has some worries in his heart. Cai Chen does not think that he is a master, but having more friends is always more of a path.”
The old man fell into a long silence. After a long time, he sighed weakly."Alright, Young Master Ning, you win.”
As he spoke, he plucked off two of his whiskers and placed them on the stone table. As soon as the two whiskers fell to the ground, they immediately turned into two roots of ginseng. However, the roots were actually thicker than fifty-year-old ginseng. The medicinal properties contained in them were actually comparable to other ginsengs in the entire ginseng garden.
Ning Caichen put away the two sutras and stood up. He cupped his hands at the old man and said,""Old man, don't worry. I will keep my mouth shut about today's matter and will not tell anyone about the 3rd Human Heaven.”
Hearing this, the old man's expression changed.
The most important thing for cultivators was to make an oath. It could be called a dao oath. If one violated it, they would suffer a backlash. This young master Ning was actually able to do this. This was very different from the greedy demons and human cultivators he had seen before. In the past, those who could see his identity seemed to have gone crazy.
He had originally planned to move after this matter, but now, it seemed that there was no need to do so.
Noticing the old man's gentler expression, Ning Caichen smiled inwardly.
Ning Caichen was not a pure good person, but he preferred to boil frogs in warm water rather than using simple and crude methods.
This old ginseng had lived for a thousand years and had encountered all kinds of things. Ning Caichen was willing to bet that if he didn't make the oath, this old ginseng would definitely turn around and run away.
Although the thousand-year-old Ginseng King's combat strength was very ordinary and was easily beaten by cultivators, the escape technique he had cultivated to survive was very shocking. His escape ability was first-class. There was even a saying in the cultivation world that the Ginseng King's escape technique was comparable to the best escape technique.
However, it was worth it for a mere oath to stabilize this old ginseng.
The reason why he did this was because Ning Caichen was interested in this old ginseng. It was not that he wanted to use it to refine wine, but that this old guy was a natural top-notch gardener. Seeing him casually sell ginseng that was decades old or even centuries old, it was obvious that this old guy had extraordinary methods for nurturing spiritual herbs.
Wouldn't it be a perfect match if he could get this old fellow and gather some exotic flowers and herbs from the myriad worlds?
He was determined to get this old ginseng. However, he had to take it slow. He could not rush it.
