The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 309 - We Don't dare to Take These Medicinal Herbs

Shortly thereafter, Su Ming arrived, carrying several black plastic bags in his hands. The group maintained their composure, knowing that in Mr. Su's home, such bags were reserved for valuable items.

“Check these out and see if the herbs are sufficient,” Su Ming said as he laid the herbs on the table.

“Thank you, Mr. Su!” the two elderly gentlemen exchanged a glance before reaching out to open the first bag. They gasped at the sight within.

Rainbow Lingzhi Mushrooms! These were the legendary mushrooms that one would only encounter in ancient texts. They were modest in size, with a black surface, but underneath, they revealed a spectrum of colors. Undoubtedly, these were Top Grade treasures. In the outside world, they would incite fierce competition. Indeed, a single Rainbow Lingzhi Mushroom could be traded for a downtown house with a garage. And here they were, several of them in one bag, leaving the old men dumbfounded. To think, just one was needed to treat the old fellow!

The old men shared a look, a silent understanding passing between them as a palpable tension filled the air. It was as if a life-and-death struggle was the only resolution.

?They proceeded to the second bag, pausing briefly in surprise. A gourd? This didn't seem to match any ingredient listed in the prescription. They blinked, puzzled, until they noticed a seam on the gourd. Old Master Tang reached out, his touch met with an unexpected chill.

“So cold!” he exclaimed, unable to contain his surprise. Upon opening the gourd, they found Double Snow Toads, the epitome of Snow Toads. While Rainbow Lingzhi Mushrooms had been documented in the past, Double Snow Toads were creatures of legend, unseen by any living soul. The discovery sent their hearts racing, their eyes reddening with excitement and faces flushing with the thrill.

With shaky hands, they opened the third bag to reveal the Spirit Blood Bead. They had been skeptical of the ancient prescription, suspecting it to be a fabrication due to the rarity of its ingredients. Yet here they were, in possession of herbs so rare they were nearly mythical.

?Even now, they harbored some skepticism.

It wasn't that they distrusted Su Ming, but the situation was simply too fantastical.

Yet, the ingredients from the ancient prescription continued to surface one by one.

The two elderly gentlemen had always considered themselves well-informed.

But it was becoming clear that their knowledge was quite limited.

Old Master Qin was the first to succumb, fainting away.

Old Master Tang didn't last much longer.

He too passed out.

They had intended to rescue their friend, but ended up fainting themselves.

In that moment, Xiao Luomu gestured reassuringly: “Mr. Su, don't worry, all is well.”

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement beside him.

They were accustomed to such occurrences.

Previously, when these two elders snuck into the storeroom and managed to steal a rare inkstone, they fainted as well.

Unaware of their presence, the storeroom owner had locked the door, trapping them inside for two full days and nights.

When they were eventually discovered, they behaved as if nothing was amiss.

They had even neatly packed up the contents of the storeroom.

The owner was furious.

The three nearly came to blows!

Su Ming observed their nonchalant demeanor and couldn't help feeling exasperated.

These two elders were exceedingly peculiar!

They needed to learn to keep their composure.

As expected, five minutes later, both gentlemen opened their eyes and were back to normal.

They eagerly inspected the herbs in the other pouches.

There were red dates the size of walnuts, intricately patterned wolfberries, and golden yams.

All of these were top-grade items, only mentioned in ancient texts and unseen by modern eyes.

“Thank you, Mr. Su!” Old Master Tang expressed his gratitude. “With these, my brother's health will surely improve.”

“It's no trouble. We each have our needs,” Su Ming replied with a slight smile.

“Mr. Su, we won't impose any further!” they said, standing up to take their leave.

But not a single person dared to touch the valuable Chinese herbs on the table!

They were far too precious!

By their understanding, such items should be wrapped in golden silk, yet Mr. Su had simply used black plastic bags.

The thought of the herbs being damaged was distressing to them.

Su Ming, taken aback, asked, “What's the matter? Are the herbs not to your satisfaction?”

“No!” the two elderly gentlemen exclaimed in unison, shaking their heads and gesturing emphatically.

“Mr. Su, to be completely honest with you, we're too apprehensive to take them,” one of them confessed.

Su Ming paused, taken aback for a moment, then observed their reactions.

The group silently retreated a step, not daring to make a move.

Feeling rather helpless, Su Ming stood up and offered, “I'll bring them over to you myself.”

At Su Ming's words, all six individuals breathed a collective sigh of relief.

“Saving lives is the priority. Let's get going,” he said.

Su Ming casually picked up several black bags with an easy gesture.

The two old men winced at the sight, their hearts aching.

They exited the villa, with Su Ming securing the door behind them before locking it.

They drove straight to the countryside estate.

It was Su Ming's first visit to this place.

He couldn't help but take a few extra glances at the grand and opulent manor, his curiosity piqued.

However, he felt no envy. To Su Ming, the world's most splendid vistas couldn't hold a candle to his own modest plot of land—that was where true beauty lay.

They quickly arrived inside the villa.?

Old Master Qin wasted no time in starting to prepare the medicine, accompanied by several students and the same apprentice as before.

After giving them a thorough briefing, the apprentices set to work processing the herbs.

Everyone settled onto the sofas, relieved at last.

“We have Mr. Su to thank for our success today. It's already noon. Mr. Su, would you care to join us for lunch?” Xiao Luomu offered warmly.

Yueqiu rose to her feet, chiming in, “Please don't leave, Mr. Su. Allow me to prepare a few dishes for you.”

“Alright,” Su Ming agreed with a nod.
