Chapter Two Hundred
"Xiaoshan, where did you find this hundred-year-old ginseng?" Bai Susu looked up, and besides being excited, she felt a mix of surprise and disbelief in her heart. A two-hundred-year-old ginseng, even with her many years in the medicinal materials business, was something she had never seen before.
"I grew it," Long Xiaoshan said calmly.
Bai Susu let out an "Ah," then immediately reached out to gently hit Long Xiaoshan, her eyes roving as she playfully scolded, "Little Xiaoshan, you must be joking with Auntie Su."
"It's really one I grew."
"Alright, alright, if Auntie Su doesn't ask you anymore, will that be okay?" Bai Susu said helplessly, knowing that Long Xiaoshan definitely had his reasons for not wanting to reveal the origin of the ginseng.
Long Xiaoshan felt frustrated in his heart.
Why didn't Bai Susu believe him when he was telling the truth?
Looking at the ginseng,
Bai Susu knew her father could be saved now.
But a sense of unease also surged in her heart; such a ginseng was simply too precious, and even as the chairwoman of Bai's Medicinal Materials, she had no confidence in being able to purchase this ginseng.
She hesitantly asked, "Little Xiaoshan, how much is this ginseng?"
"Auntie Su, the ginseng is a gift for you," Long Xiaoshan said.
"A gift for me." Bai Susu almost fainted as she shook her head repeatedly, "Little Xiaoshan, have you lost your mind? Do you know how much this ginseng is worth?"
A hundred-year-old ginseng would be valued in the tens of millions and was priceless.
Let alone a two-hundred-year ginseng, it could easily fetch over a hundred million at a major auction.
She had managed Bai's Medicinal Materials for many years and her net worth had barely surpassed a hundred million.
That too comprised various fixed assets and stocks put together, and if it required cash, she would struggle to even produce ten million.
She knew Long Xiaoshan had an extraordinary background.
And had connections with Gu Jingheng.
But even those with connections wouldn't just give away ginseng worth hundreds of millions.
Her entire company might not be worth as much as this ginseng.
"I know, but didn't I promise Auntie Su last time that I would get you some hundred-year-old medicine?" Long Xiaoshan said.
"You did promise, but you can't just give it away, it's too precious."
Long Xiaoshan smiled lightly and asked, "Then Auntie Su, how much do you plan to give me?" Enjoy new adventures from empire
Bai Susu was stunned.
Yes, how much should she give Long Xiaoshan?
Tens of millions, and she would have to liquidate Bai's Medicinal Materials, not to mention the price of a two-hundred-year-old medicine—it was anyone's guess.
After a long moment, she gritted her teeth and said, "Xiaoshan, my company, along with other assets, should be worth about one hundred million. That's the most I could offer; the rest I would owe you as a favor, and I will definitely repay it."
Long Xiaoshan chuckled and said, "Auntie Su, what do I need your company for, and if you gave me all your assets, where would you live, how would you afford Xue Hen's education?"
Bai Susu was about to speak.
Long Xiaoshan firmly said, "Auntie Su, whether you believe it or not, this medicine isn't much to me, I can produce several more at any time. If you insist on paying, then we should talk business; whatever the market price is, you can't shortchange me a penny. But if you consider me, Long Xiaoshan, a friend, then accept this medicine, and I won't take a penny from you."
Facing Long Xiaoshan's intense gaze,
Bai Susu's eyes reddened, choked with emotion and unable to speak.
She refused to believe Long Xiaoshan could casually produce several more hundred-year-old medicines.
But what kind of fool would give away medicine worth hundreds of millions so carelessly?
And yet, she had just met such a foolishly generous young man.
"Alright, Auntie Su will accept it," Bai Susu said softly, moved.
"Let's go, there's no time to lose. We should head to the hospital now to save Elder Bai," Long Xiaoshan said.
"Mhm," Bai Susu responded tenderly.
The two of them went downstairs, with Bai Susu driving the BMW 5 Series and Long Xiaoshan sitting in the passenger seat, casually asking, "What about Xue Hen, is she at home?"
"Oh, since her grandfather's condition is stable, I asked her to go back to school. I didn't expect you to find the hundred-year-old medicine so quickly," she replied.
"So it is," Long Xiaoshan seemed somewhat regretful.
Bai Susu felt a stirring in her heart and asked, "Why, are you disappointed that Xuehen is not here?"
"Uh, no," he responded.
Bai Susu chuckled softly, paused for a moment, and then said, "Xuehen doesn't have a boyfriend yet."
"Auntie Su, I didn't ask about that," Long Xiaoshan said awkwardly.
Bai Susu smirked and replied, "I didn't say you did, I'm just telling you."
"..."
The car soon arrived at Carewell Hospital, and Bai Susu and Long Xiaoshan went to the VIP ward where Old Master Bai was staying.
There, Old Master Bai lay, his heartbeat stable, all his vital signs showing normal.
Holding Old Master Bai's wrist, Long Xiaoshan checked him over and found the effect of the Life-Extending Divine Needle to be extraordinary. A week had passed, and Old Master Bai's vital energy had depleted very little; under normal circumstances, he could continue lying there for three months with no problem.
He turned to Bai Susu and said, "Go get the medicine jar."
Bai Susu nodded and hurriedly fetched the medicine jar.
Long Xiaoshan sliced off a piece of the Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng, placed it into the medicine jar, and added water to simmer.
In two hours, the fragrance of the medicine billowed, filling the room with a life-giving aroma.
"Such potent medicinal strength."
Smelling the fragrance, Long Xiaoshan felt his True Qi stirring restlessly.
Even without refining the Xiao Peiyuan Dan, the medicinal strength of the Hundred-Year-Old Medicine was enough to significantly increase his cultivation level.
Long Xiaoshan poured out the ginseng liquid and put it into a saline bag, then hung it on a drip into Old Master Bai's vein.
Now, Old Master Bai's body was extremely fragile, and he needed to be replenished slowly with a drip. Otherwise, the potency of the Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng alone could overwhelm his body.
Long Xiaoshan took out the Golden Needle.
He flipped up Old Master Bai's clothes and began to insert needles into his emaciated body, channeling wave after wave of True Qi into him, stimulating Old Master Bai's acupoints.
Time passed by every second.
Bai Susu stood by, anxiously waiting.
Two hours later.
A whole bag of ginseng liquid had completely entered Old Master Bai's body.
The body of Old Master Bai seemed to inflate slightly, the once withered lines on his skin diminished; however, he had not yet awakened. By contrast, Long Xiaoshan had wisps of white steam rising from his head, and sweat glistened on his forehead.
"Spirits of the soul, heed my command!"
Suddenly, Long Xiaoshan touched the point between Old Master Bai's eyebrows, where a golden flame almost leaped out of his eye sockets.
Old Master Bai's body shook violently once.
The Three Souls and Seven Spirits returned to their places.
He abruptly opened his eyes.
Long Xiaoshan slowly exhaled a breath and retracted his divine skills and mana.
Old Master Bai had been in a coma for too long, his Three Souls and Seven Spirits scattered; the Hundred-Year-Old Medicine could nourish his vital energy but could not gather and return his soul and spirit to their places.
Fortunately, Long Xiaoshan with his Divine Body and fully-realized Divine Skills, found it not too difficult to gather Old Master Bai's soul and spirit.
"Dad!" Bai Susu rushed to the bedside, her eyes brimming with surprise and joy as she looked at her father who had awakened.
Old Master Bai blinked his eyes, as if he had come out of a deep dream but finally recognized his daughter and said, "Su Su."
"It's me, Dad."
"I'm still alive."
"Of course you are, Xiaoshan saved you."
Bai Susu pointed to Long Xiaoshan at the side.
When Old Master Bai saw Long Xiaoshan, a trace of astonishment flickered in his eyes.
