Pampered Poisonous Royal Wife-Chapter 944: An Yiqing Wakes Up (7)

She coolly glanced at Pei Wen, then turned to look at the crowd below the stage.

"Today I’m here to tell everyone in person what the misunderstood ingredient in Qinglu Beauty Elixir and Skinny Pill really is!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yufeng, who stood beside her, immediately took out a long rectangular box from her bag and handed it to An Yiqing.

Under the tense gaze of everyone, An Yiqing slowly opened the box to reveal its contents.

Inside the box lay a ginseng root about fifty centimeters long, as thick as an adult woman’s forearm, presented before everyone. Moreover, next to the ginseng in a separate compartment, there lay a snow-white, almost transparent flower that looked like a thin sheet of ice. The moment the box was opened, a fresh fragrance filled the air, refreshing the heart and spleen.

"This is... damn! That’s ginseng, right?" A reporter exclaimed.

"Holy shit! That’s not just any ginseng, it must be hundreds of years old at least! No, wait! How could something that old be so thick!"

"I’ve seen a five-hundred-year-old ginseng before, and it was much smaller than this! Damn, this couldn’t be the Thousand-Year Ginseng, could it?"

Suddenly, all the reporters widened their eyes, staring fixedly at the chubby white ginseng, forgetting even to whisper among themselves.

The considerate live cameraman zoomed in the camera directly onto the box in An Yiqing’s hands, giving a close-up shot for the audience in front of their televisions.

At this moment, the internet instantly erupted into frenzy. As the saying goes, true masters are found among the common folk, and any corner of a city can hide many a genius.

The ginseng and flower in An Yiqing’s hands instantly became hot topics online.

On a domestic forum, there was an uproar at the time.

"The ginseng in An Yiqing’s hands has to be at least nine hundred years old!" A user named "I Love Wetting the Bed" kept spamming the forum.

"Get lost! Are your eyes smothered in crap? That ginseng is at least two thousand years old! My family has court physicians as ancestors, I’ve seen it in ancient texts!" said another user named "Little Girl Beside the Imperial Physician."

"Yes, yes! The little girl is right! That ginseng is at least two thousand years old. I just took a screenshot and observed it closely, and based on my thirty years of experience in herb gathering, that ginseng should be between five and seven thousand years old," spoke a prominent figure from the forum’s medical section.

Following this, several equally knowledgeable and experienced users posted pictures of ginsengs they had seen before; whether it was nine hundred or a thousand years old, all were much smaller than the one in An Yiqing’s hands!

Just as everyone was joyfully discussing the age of the ginseng, suddenly, a user named "Weakly" dropped a bombshell.

"The little white flower in the box seems to be the Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus..."

Upon this comment, a flood of netizens rushed to respond.

"Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus? Screw off! You’ve read too many novels, haven’t you?"

"That’s right! I’ve seen plenty of snow lotus flowers, and I’ve seen our country’s snow lotus, and it’s not the same!"

"Too many novels, assessment complete. Why don’t you say it’s the Ginseng Fruit from Journey to the West?"

Despite struggling through the barrage of dismissive comments, that weak user again "weakly" posted another comment.

"The Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus I’m talking about is not the same kind you’re thinking of... The little white flower in An Yiqing’s box is truly the plant recorded in ancient books thousands of years ago... That is the genuine Heaven Mountain Snow Lotus..."
