Chapter 9: Right Eye's Extraordinary Ability
Any herb that is over a hundred years old becomes extremely precious, and this five-hundred-year-old ginseng is truly priceless. It can be compared to the legendary divine grass. A single stem of this five-hundred-year-old ginseng is worth more than 100,000 taels of silver, and it's something that money can't buy. This five-hundred-year-old ginseng can be said to be the most precious item in the Su family.
In this way, the 500-year-old ginseng can be refined into a pill and taken to promote even the strongest practitioners who have reached the peak of the Seventh Realm of the Post-Heavenly Spirit Qi to advance to the Eighth Realm of the Post-Heavenly Spirit Qi. Even if it cannot be refined into a pill, brewing it into a medicinal decoction can greatly enhance the practitioner's abilities, making it a rare and precious treasure.
Su Yan waved his hand calmly and said, "This battle concerns the fate of our Su family's future. If we lose, it will be very difficult for us to even leave Xiyuan Town. We can only win, not lose. What does a mere old mountain ginseng matter?"
Su Yan was also a cunning and experienced person who could create the Su family with one hand. He weighed the pros and cons very clearly. If Su Han could become a post-heavenly nine-realm master in the future, the entire Su family would gain great benefits and leap to become a top-notch aristocratic family in the Great Flame Empire, which was not a bad investment at all.
Su Yan said in a low voice: "Su Han, ten days later, you must win. The rise and fall of the Su family is now on your shoulders."
Su Han felt a heavy sense of responsibility weighing on his young shoulders, he clenched his fists and replied solemnly: "Yes! Grandfather!"
Su Han understood that in ten days' time, he absolutely could not lose that battle!
Su Yan took out thirty 10-tael silver notes and handed them to Su Han: "This is three hundred taels of silver, take it to buy some auxiliary medicines, drink the old ginseng decoction as soon as possible, and improve your strength."
That five-hundred-year-old ginseng would need to be refined into a pill in order to fully bring out its medicinal properties. However, it's hard to find an alchemist, and the entire Great Flame Empire only has a handful of high-quality alchemists.
Su He had once given Su Han a nourishing pill, but that nourishing pill was only the lowest level of ammunition, and it was a medicine made by a pharmacist without any grade. Refining 500-year-old old ginseng, such precious medicinal materials, only dan masters with grades can maximize their medicinal power. Otherwise, it's better to add some auxiliary medicines and decoct them into a medicinal soup for drinking.
"Yes! Grandpa! I'll go buy it now."
Su Han took over the three hundred taels of silver notes and turned around to leave in big strides.
Back in the small courtyard, Su Han carefully hid the old mountain ginseng before heading out.
Xiyuan Market is a small market located east of Xiyuan Town. Xiyuan Town is a marginal town near Hongye Mountain, and many adventurers who return from entering Hongye Mountain will come to Xiyuan Market to sell everything they have obtained, so Xiyuan Market is very prosperous.
Su Han entered the Western Market and saw that on both sides of the road, there were numerous simple stalls everywhere, with many adventurers selling their harvests from Red Leaf Mountain.
In the Western Market, there are also general stores that buy specialty products, but the prices they offer are all black-hearted prices. If it's not urgent to sell, those adventurers would rather sell them slowly themselves.
Su Han walked along the edge of the cold, searching for the medicinal herbs he wanted.
Among the peddlers of those adventurers, most are materials such as fur, teeth and other low-level demon beasts, as well as mountain medicines such as Tricholoma matsutake, ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonatum. In addition to these, there are many strange and unrecognizable objects. Among the gains of those adventurers, some very precious things are hidden from time to time, but it takes extremely strong eyesight to find precious treasures among a pile of junk.
Suddenly, a man wearing tattered black robes, with slightly dark skin and a lean build, walked over and said mysteriously: "Hey little brother, come here, I have something good."
Su Han glanced at the black-robed man and didn't pay much attention to him, continuing to walk forward.
The man in the tattered black robe hastily stepped forward, blocking Su Han and whispering: "I have a few treasures picked up from the ancient ruins here, you won't regret taking a look!!"
Su Han heard this and sneered in his heart, knowing that he had encountered a swindler. The ancient ruins were the remnants of some powerful beings from the ancient times, extremely rare and fraught with danger. Even if a pre-heavenly strong cultivator entered the ancient ruins, it was uncertain whether they could come out unscathed. This black-robed man's aura was weak, probably not even at the level of a post-heavenly fourth-grade condensed energy realm. The idea that he possessed treasures from the ancient ruins was simply absurd. Clearly, this black-robed man thought Su Han was young and naive, and wanted to swindle him.
Su Han said calmly: "Then take it out and let me see."
"Good!" The black-robed man's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and he immediately opened the package he was carrying. Inside the package, there was an ancient tattered secret book, more than 20 ancient coins, two black stones, two broken small jade bottles, and a worn-out incense burner.
That black-robed man said generously, "These are the treasures I picked up from the ancient ruins. To get them, I almost died in that ancient ruin. Each of these treasures is extremely precious. If someone else were to buy them from me, I would sell each one for at least 5,000 taels. But since we hit it off so well, I'll sell each one to you for just 100 taels."
Su Han glanced at the trash and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes: "One hundred taels, this garbage isn't even worth one tael of silver."
Just as Su Han was about to leave, a mysterious blue glyph suddenly condensed in the depths of his right eye. As soon as the glyph took shape, the scene within his right eye changed instantly.
All that was seen was that among the pile of rubbish taken out by the man in black, the other rubbish remained as tattered as ever, but amidst the ancient and dilapidated secret book, there was a faint white light flashing.
"What is this?"
At this sight, Su Han was slightly stunned, and he had never experienced such a strange phenomenon before. However, he was also a clever person and quickly reacted, with a burst of excitement in his heart: "This should be the new ability given to me by Shiyan, that secret book is probably not simple."
Just as Su Han was overjoyed, the runes in the depths of his right eye slowly disappeared, and the scene in his eyes returned to its original state.
Su Han was slightly stunned, his mind moved, and his eyes stared fixedly at the old mysterious book. At the moment when he was fully focused, the mysterious symbol on his right eye appeared again, allowing him to see the white spiritual light deep within the book.
Su Han was overjoyed in his heart, but his face remained expressionless. He calmly took the old and tattered ancient book in his hand, flipped it open, and saw that it recorded a martial skill called Wind Sand Palm. However, this Wind Sand Palm skill was obviously missing eight moves, and even if he managed to master it, it would only be slightly stronger than an unranked skill, making it extremely mediocre.
Su Han casually flipped through the tattered martial arts manual of Feng Sha Zhang for a while, and the black-robed man beside him was also extremely nervous, afraid that Su Han would discover something.
Su Han glanced at the Wind Sand Palm for a moment, then calmly put it aside and picked up each of the black-robed man's items to examine them carefully, just like an inexperienced young man.
