I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 632 The Preciousness of Old Ginseng

The matter of going to Feiyu Mountain is not urgent. It's been postponed for several years, and it doesn't matter if it gets delayed for another ten days or half a month.

The main thing is that this is Lu Zheng and Shen Ying's first time going out for a couple's getaway. Of course, they couldn't just fly directly to Feiyu Mountain, pick up the Sword Scripture, and then immediately fly back. That would be too lacking in romance.

So, going out like this might take a month or so, and Lu Zheng needs to make some arrangements here in the modern world.

...

"You're going out for more than a month? And won't even be able to send any messages?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

At this moment, Lu Zheng is having a meal with Lin Wan at a five-floor Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot in a mall.

Lu Zheng nodded at her words, and earnestly replied, "This time, the place we're going to is a bit far, no signal."

Honestly!

Lin Wan rolled her eyes; Lu Zheng never tells her the truth when it comes to disappearing.

"Isn't it dangerous?" Lin Wan asked, worry flashing in her eyes.

Before when Lu Zheng would go off on heroic adventures, he never informed her.

"Rest assured, it's not dangerous at all."

With a smile, Lu Zheng held Lin Wan's hand, their fingers intertwined, gently rubbing, "What danger in this world could possibly threaten me?"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"That's good then. As long as it's not dangerous, you're free to be away as long as you like." Lin Wan stared at Lu Zheng, "Just remember, there's always someone at home waiting for you."

Lu Zheng smiled warmly, "No hurry to leave, first I'll spend May Day with you."

Lin Wan pursed her lips into a smile, eyes full of affection, "Free travel again?"

Lu Zheng chuckled, "That depends if any fools come knocking."

"Where to?"

"Don't know." Lu Zheng shrugged, "Fortunately, we still have two days, perfect for planning."

"Alright, should we take Zhao Xiaodao along?"

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you want to bring Zhao Xiaodao?"

Lin Wan blinked, imagining a third wheel intruding on her and Lu Zheng's time...

"Better not!" Lin Wan shook her head decisively.

"Ding-dong!"

A message came on the phone, Lu Zheng casually picked it up; his eyebrow raised.

"What's up?" Lin Wan asked.

"A friend invites for dinner, probably lacks herbs." Lu Zheng smiled.

"Friend? Herbs?"

Lu Zheng nodded, "Xie Feng, major shareholder and director of Nandu Huai Ren Hall, used to buy wild herbs from me."

Lin Wan widened her eyes, "You actually know the director of Huai Ren Hall from Nandu?"

Lu Zheng straightened his body, "Is it so surprising? Your husband is quite an extraordinary man, knowing a wealthy businessman, so?"

"Indeed, not surprising," Lin Wan nodded continuously, only saying, "I just wonder how you met him."

"Auctioned off an Old Ginseng plant, then got acquainted," Lu Zheng said simply.

Lin Wan nodded, understanding, but didn't ask where Lu Zheng got the Old Ginseng from.

Just joking, to even make Jade Essence Pill, this kind of divine medicine, selling some ordinary wild herbs is reasonable, right?

Lin Wan sneakily smiled, "You sell some code and earn millions, why sell wild herbs?"

"Codes aren't that easy to sell daily," Lu Zheng said helplessly, "Instead, now there are more wealthy people. So, Huai Ren Hall is open to all sorts of wild herbs, like when I last sold them an eight-ounce wild Mountain Ginseng, directly netting five million."

"How much!?"

"Five million!" Lu Zheng held up five fingers to Lin Wan.

"Gasp—"

Lin Wan inhaled sharply, "Wild Mountain Ginseng is so valuable?"

"What do you think?"

"Is it worth it?"

"Definitely!" Lu Zheng nodded, "Although modern cultivated or forest-grown ginseng has some basic medicinal properties compared to wild Mountain Ginseng, they can be compensated with the amount used. But some mysterious elements only wild Mountain Ginseng possesses."

"Such as?"

"For example, normally boosting Qi and nourishing the body, using one gram of Old Ginseng has the effect similar to using three grams of cultivated ginseng. If not enough, increasing to five grams should suffice.

But the price difference between Old Mountain Ginseng and cultivated ginseng is far more than fivefold.

However...

When it comes to saving lives, Old Mountain Ginseng can indeed prolong life—perhaps ten days or more—and might even save someone. But eating a ton of cultivated ginseng can't prolong life for two hours, that's the difference, and the real value of Old Mountain Ginseng."

Lu Zheng shrugged, "But for the average person, ordinary cultivated ginseng or forest-grown ginseng is more than sufficient."

Lin Wan laughed, "But for real wealthy individuals, they insist on eating Old Mountain Ginseng."

"Indeed." Lu Zheng nodded, "Even if they're just normally boosting Qi and nurturing blood, they prefer wild Old Mountain Ginseng, Huang Jing, reishi, etc., even if it's equivalent to artificially cultivated ones."

"Waste!" Lin Wan concluded.

Lu Zheng tapped the table with his finger, "Our May Day travel expenses depend on these people, don't bad-mouth the ones who provide!"

Lin Wan remained speechless, "So, you haven't sold wild herbs to him in quite some time?"

"St. Miguel." Lu Zheng reminded.

Lin Wan held her forehead, "If you hadn't mentioned it, I'd nearly forgotten."

Because they rarely spend much money, usually cooking at home for meals, only occasionally catching a movie on weekends. The largest expense is shopping for clothes, but Lin Wan's salary covers that.

So, despite Lu Zheng gathering so much money from outside, it hasn't been much used.

"Tomorrow at noon, are you going?" Lu Zheng asked.

"Not going." Lin Wan shook her head, "I still have work tomorrow, and the holiday is about to begin, better finish the last shift before the break."

"Alright, I'll go then." Lu Zheng said.

...

After eating and returning home, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan discussed what to wear for the holidays. Lin Wan tried on several outfits, panting from exhaustion, but did not reach a final decision.

...

The next day, Lin Wan went to work. Lu Zheng first trashed some college students or office workers in a game, then took a taxi to the address Xie Feng previously sent him.

"President Lu!"

"President Xie!"

Xie Feng led Lu Zheng into the private room, and Lu Zheng found his old acquaintance Liu Zhenming was there, along with three beautiful secretaries from Huai Ren Hall's board. All dressed in black stockings, high heels, and fitted skirts, showing off their curves and expertly made up, specially there to liven up the atmosphere.

"Wow, President Xie went all out today!" Lu Zheng said with a smile.

But he knew deep down it was because he hadn't sold herbs to Huai Ren Hall recently. Xie Feng probably thought he'd found other high-bidding buyers.

"Hahaha, haven't seen each other in a while, it's proper!"

Xie Feng invited Lu Zheng to take the main seat, and Liu Zhenming poured Lu Zheng a drink, offering it with both hands.

"President Liu, there's no need for such politeness; we're all friends here," Lu Zheng said with a smile, accepting the glass and drinking together with them.

Seeing Lu Zheng still giving face, Xie Feng breathed a sigh of relief, and the secretary next to Lu Zheng hurriedly poured him another drink, sweetly saying, "President Lu has an impressive tolerance!"

Lu Zheng, while enjoying the flattering from the beautiful secretary, casually chatted with Xie Feng, quickly putting their minds at ease.

"Firstly, the supply has indeed been tight recently, and secondly, I haven't needed money lately, hence I didn't actively restock." Lu Zheng smiled, "But if President Xie needs anything, I'll restock for you."

Xie Feng nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the demand here at Huai Ren Hall is huge, whether it's century-old Mountain Ginseng, Fuling, Huang Jing, we take them all!"

"Alright!" Lu Zheng agreed readily, "I'll contact my suppliers once I head back, and after May Day, once the goods are in, I'll contact you!"

Xie Feng raised his glass urgently, "You're a great help, President Lu, cheers to you!"

This is a seller's market, the other party eager for us to sell them goods.

Lu Zheng and Xie Feng clinked glasses, tilting their heads back to drink, as the nearby beautiful secretary exaggeratedly expressed amazement and poured another glass for Lu Zheng.

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

A beautiful secretary went to open it, finding two men standing at the entrance.

"President Xie! Came to Hai City without informing me? Forced me to come over! Haha! Let me introduce, this is President Duan, chairman of Nansheng Pharmaceutical Group!"
