The stall was very simple. It was just a tablecloth spread on the ground, with stones weighing the corners, and scattered items placed on it.
Two dried ginseng plants.
A jet-black Polygonum multiflorum flower.
Three slightly ancient bound books.
Four rough stones the size of eggs look bad on the outside, and they don't look like something that can be seen as a good jade.
Tang Ming picked up a dry wild ginseng and threw it in his hand: "Are these things yours?"
The young man nodded quickly: "Yeah, this is what my father left to me. After he passed away, these things belong to me."
"Boss, you, this wild ginseng in your hand is a 50-year-old blood ginseng. Although it looks unpleasant, it is actually soaked in distilled water and then dried over a low fire. This way it can be preserved for a long time.
, the efficacy of the medicine is also lost very slowly.”
"But it has been eight or nine years since it was made, and the efficacy is not complete. If you need it, one plant, one plant, 250,000..." The young man said a number shyly.
Two hundred and fifty thousand?
Tang Ming was stunned.
On the contrary, when the vendor next to him heard this, he teased: "Xiao Xie, others use precious sandalwood and jade boxes to store medicinal materials. You have steamed them and exposed them to the sun, so the medicinal effects are probably gone long ago."
?”
"Selling such medicinal materials for 250,000 yuan is a bit unethical."
Hearing this, the young man's face turned red, but he still insisted: "I can guarantee that the medicine will be effective. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
"Oh, this baby is still not convinced."
Several middle-aged vendors laughed.
These laughter fell on the young man's ears and seemed extremely harsh. He clenched his fists and suddenly said loudly: "The preparation method of medicinal materials is clearly mentioned in Chapter 6 of Volume 5 of "Compendium of Materia Medica"."
"Blood ginseng has a strong and pure nature. It can be soaked in boiling wine to release the medicinal power of the roots; then it can be suffocated by fire and exposed to the sun, which can lock the blood and extend the storage period..." "..." Several vendors looked at each other in confusion.
, looking at the young man's serious face, they were a little unsure whether what he said was true or false.
"Boss, there is really nothing wrong with the blood ginseng. We can go to a professional institution for testing."
The young man hesitated for a while and continued: "But I don't have money to go for the test now..." Tang Ming smiled and quickly took out a bank card from his arms and handed it over.
"These two blood ginseng strains are well preserved, and their medicinal power has not been lost much. On the contrary, through the method you just described, the medicinal power has become more pure."
"According to the current market price, the price of 50-year-old blood ginseng is around 800,000 yuan, and two plants cost 1.6 million yuan."
"And this Polygonum multiflorum plant is also a good thing. It is a hundred years old and the market price should be 3.4 million."
Tang Ming smiled and said: "There are exactly five million in the card. You can go to the bank to check the balance."
"Ah...Boss, do you really want them all?"
The young man was startled.
As for the vendors next to them, they were also stunned, but soon a strange feeling came to their minds.
That's five million! Five million is enough to live a rich life in Ningzhou City. They have been setting up stalls here for most of their lives and have never made so much. As a result, a novice made five million in just a few days!
this moment.
There was jealousy and greed in many people's eyes... The young man obviously didn't notice this. He took the bank card with both hands and was so excited that he said incoherently: "Boss, there is a China Construction Bank next door. How about we go first?"
Take a look, I can give you a discount and refund some money to you when the time comes."
Tang Ming's smile was a little playful.
This young man was obviously afraid that there was not enough money in his bank card, so he wanted to go to the bank to check, but he was too embarrassed to explain, so he offered to refund the money with a discount.
"Okay, let's go over and take a look."
Tang Ming also didn't point out the other party's cleverness.
"Yeah, thank you, boss."
The young man was overjoyed, packed up the things on the stall, and took Tang Ming to the bank.
...half an hour later.
The two of them walked out of the bank. The boy's immature face was full of excitement, and he clutched his pocket tightly, looking a little nervous.
"Your name is Xie Zifan?"
Tang Ming asked with a faint smile. When he applied for the card just now, he saw the other party's ID card.
"Uh-huh."
Xie Zifan nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and asked curiously: "Sir, what do you call me?"
"My name is Tang Xuantian."
Tang Ming turned around and said with a smile: "You should have some relationship with the Xie family in Ningzhou. Logically speaking, the direct descendants of the Xie family should not be as miserable as you."
Xie Zifan scratched his head and felt a little embarrassed: "I don't have much status in the Xie family. I am considered a marginal figure."
Tang Ming nodded slightly and didn't ask any more questions.
When Xie Zifan wasn't paying attention, he made a magic trick and took out the ebony box from the storage ring.
Tang Ming handed over the sandalwood box: "Xie Zifan, you and I are destined to make friends today, and I will give these things to you."
"ah?"
Xie Zifan was confused and said blankly: "Mr. Tang, what is this?"
Tang Ming smiled and said, "You can open it and take a look."
Xie Zifan hesitated.
Tang Ming said slowly: "You don't have to be so polite. To be precise, this thing has some fate with you, otherwise I wouldn't give it to you."
Are you destined to me?
When Xie Zifan heard this, his face was full of curiosity. After thinking about it, he reached out and took the sandalwood box from Tang Ming's hand.
The moment his hands took over the sandalwood box.
"Buzz--" An invisible wave suddenly burst out from the sandalwood box.
"oops!"
Xie Zifan suddenly screamed. His thumb was cut open at some point, and blood dripped down. But strangely, the blood did not appear on the surface of the sandalwood box, but penetrated into it.
Um?
Xie Zifan was shocked and opened the box with curiosity.
"Crack!"
The box is opened.
Green light shines.
I saw the piece of sapphire in the sandalwood box. At this time, the light surged. There was even a little vermilion on the surface of the round jade, slowly seeping into it like blood.
This is Xie Zifan's blood.
Recognize the master with a drop of blood! "Whoops!"
The sapphire turned into a stream of light, and instantly disappeared between Xie Zifan's eyebrows. Almost at the same time, Xie Zifan felt that his mind was in chaos, and he closed his eyes and fainted.
Tang Ming waved his hand, and a soft and powerful voice helped Xie Zifan, helping him to sit down at the entrance of the alley next to him.
"Blood recognizes the master."
"I don't know what Xie Lingyun will leave behind for his descendants. This boy has a great chance to actively inspire the fate left by Xie Lingyun."
Tang Ming's eyes burst into light.
In fact, he was very clear about the contents of the box. The sapphire was the fate left by Xie Lingyun to his descendants, but it could only be used by the direct bloodline of the Xie clan.
Moreover, this sapphire is very cleverly designed.
It will determine the fate of the gift based on the talents that inspire the bloodline descendants.
Prolonging life, being immune to all poisons, and being immune to all diseases are just the most basic Taoist fate. If you have the talent for cultivation, you will also be given the corresponding inheritance.
in other words.
The higher the talent of a bloodline descendant, the more advanced the inheritance displayed.
It may be just a strong body, it may be the inheritance of Jindan realm skills, or it may be Xie Lingyun's entire inheritance.
