After lunch, Zhou Mu didn't practice. He planned to go to the county to buy some ginseng to try.
After all, he was now practicing the external strengthening technique, and the amount of energy he needed had doubled. The medicinal soup had basically become a daily necessity.
In the past two days, he had cooked several servings of Longguan Youxian Soup, although he could still drink it.
However, according to his current cultivation progress, the replenishment of energy was bound to increase exponentially.
He couldn't possibly drink five or six servings of Longguan Youxian Soup at once, right?
Therefore, he had to buy ginseng as soon as possible.
He was going to ask Zhang Li to send him there, but he was not in town.
Therefore, he went to the bus station in town and took a minibus to Chengjiang County.
Because it was the weekend, there were many people on the bus.
Before he got on the bus, Zhou Mu saw a black crowd of people.
Other than some young people, most of them were middle-aged men and women. Everyone was squeezed into a carriage, and their auras were very turbid.
Zhou Mu gave the ticket seller ten yuan. Seeing that there was no seat, he simply stood beside the door.
In this kind of small truck in the countryside, no one would talk about respecting the old and caring for the young, and there was no fixed alighting point.
Before arriving at the county town, the minibus would stop at several small towns to attract customers. It would even stop when someone waved at it by the roadside. There were constantly people getting on and off the bus.
Zhou Mu had grown up in the city in his previous life, so he had never ridden in such a minibus.
Therefore, it was a little novel for him to do it for the first time.
After getting into the car, Zhou Mu noticed that many people were looking at him.
It was obvious that she was attracted by his Taoist attire and the current state of his skin.
"We actually have such a sage-like Taoist priest here?”
"D * mn, why haven't I seen him before?”
"I heard that there's a Taoist temple outside our town, but I've never been there."
Let alone in the countryside, even in the city.
Zhou Mu's appearance would definitely attract attention. It was normal for him to attract people's attention.
...............
The minibus took about an hour to reach the county.
Zhou Mu opened the map and searched for a Chinese medicine store. He found a relatively well-known one next to the best shopping mall in the county.
He didn't have much experience in this area, so choosing a big shop would give him more assurance.
After he took a taxi to the place, Zhou Mu saw the sign of "Lin's Pharmacy" at a glance. It was very eye-catching.
After entering, a middle-aged man in a white coat walked over.
"Hello, old Taoist priest. What do you need to buy?”
The middle-aged man sized up Zhou Mu as he spoke. He was also very surprised.
The old Taoist priest's complexion was unbelievably good. He was definitely a monk with true cultivation.
"Hello, do you sell ginseng here?”
Zhou Mu asked with a smile. He did not care about the other party's strange gaze.
"Of course. What use do you want to buy ginseng for?”
"Stew the soup. I don't know much about ginseng, so please introduce it.”
"Oh, this ginseng is divided into wild ginseng and planted ginseng. It's just that wild ginseng can only be found by luck, and those that can be sold are all sold at sky-high prices.”
"Ginseng is also divided into garden ginseng and forest ginseng. Garden ginseng is cheap, but it doesn't have much effect. Basically, it's ripened. Just like the ginseng water sold in the supermarket that costs a few yuan and has an entire ginseng in it.”
"And what our pharmacy sells is Under-forest Ginseng. The method of planting Under-forest Ginseng is half-wild and half-artificial. Man-made sowing allows the ginseng to grow naturally in a natural environment..."
As expected of a well-known pharmacy, the staff was also very professional. When they heard Zhou Mu's question, the other party immediately explained.
Zhou Mu finally understood after listening.
Although ginseng under the forest was not as good as wild ginseng, it was definitely countless times stronger than garden ginseng. One gram was equivalent to one kilogram of garden ginseng.
However, the price of this kind of ginseng was not too cheap, because ordinary people could not tell it apart at all. The market was also mixed with good and bad people, and it was difficult to tell whether it was real or fake.
One needed enough experience to buy good ginseng under the forest.
The price of ginseng sold in the Lin Pharmacy varied according to the quality and age of the medicine. It ranged from a few hundred to a few thousand per gram.
In the end, under the shop assistant's introduction, Zhou Mu bought two stalks of ginseng that were said to be produced in the forest of Changbai Mountain. They were fifteen years old.
Fifteen years was already the minimum age limit for ginseng in a pure forest.
Only when the ginseng reached fifteen years of age could it be picked, eaten, and sold.
From this, it could be seen that the shop assistant did not cheat Zhou Mu. After all, he only recommended the minimum age of ginseng.
If he wanted to scam money, the other party could totally brag and recommend Zhou Mu to buy ginseng under the forest that was of a higher age.
Moreover, Zhou Mu was not afraid that the other party would trick him. After all, with the attribute panel, he would know if it was effective or not.
Even if he did, he could only do it this once.
However, even a fifteen-year-old ginseng would cost more than 300 yuan per gram. Zhou Mu had bought two sticks of ginseng that totaled 3.4 grams, which cost him more than a thousand yuan.
This was much more expensive than the Longguan Wandering Immortal Soup.
He didn't buy too much. He planned to go back and try it first. If it was effective, he would buy more.
He also bought a box of handmade donkey-hide glue. It was 300g and cost nearly 1,000 yuan.
