Chapter 737: Chapter 737
After hearing what the service employee said, Lin Chen's face also turned ugly, "How much my ginseng is worth isn't for laymen like you to decide, better call your manager over!"
"Manager? Our manager is very busy, how can he have the time to accompany you? If you are willing to sell, then sell; if not, please leave and don't disrupt our business," the service employee said coldly.
Hearing the employee's words, Lin Chen's face immediately darkened, "This is your claim, pricing a thousand-year-old ginseng as if it were a common wild ginseng, it's simply laughable. It seems Bai Cao Tang is nothing special after all."
"Thousand-year-old ginseng!" Lin Chen spoke so loudly that many people heard him clearly.
Many people had heard of thousand-year-old ginseng, but had never seen one, so they curiously gathered around.
"Is what this young man holding really a thousand-year-old ginseng?"
"It looks very ordinary in terms of color and texture!"
Hearing the murmurs of the people around, the service employee became even more arrogant, "Kid, you actually bring a wild ginseng and claim it's a thousand-year-old one, I think you must be mad for money. Since you are not selling, please leave immediately, or else I'll call security."
Just then, a young man dressed in a suit with an outstanding demeanor approached, "What's going on?"
Seeing the young man, the service employee's face changed, "Boss Mu, this young man brought a common wild ginseng, but insists it's a thousand-year-old ginseng. I asked him to leave, but he refuses to budge; I was about to call security."
A thousand-year-old ginseng? Hearing the employee's words, a glint lit up in the young man's eyes.
He turned to Lin Chen holding the ginseng, "Could I take a look at your ginseng, young man?"
Lin Chen nodded, "Alright."
With that, he handed over the thousand-year-old ginseng to the young man.
Mu Feng examined the ginseng for a moment, and his face immediately showed ecstatic joy.
"This is truly a thousand-year-old ginseng."
The young man's words silenced the entire hall instantly.
"What? It's actually a thousand-year-old ginseng."
If these words had come from someone else, perhaps no one would believe them, but Mu Feng was different— he was the president of the Bai Cao Group, a first-class medicinal product expert in Huaxia; his judgment couldn't be wrong.
Hearing Mu Feng's affirmation that Lin Chen was holding a thousand-year-old ginseng, the service employee's face turned pale.
Mu Feng looked icily at the service employee, "Have you forgotten the rules of Bai Cao Tang? The customer is God. Since he says it's a thousand-year-old ginseng, why didn't you report it to the manager? Do you realize how much loss your stupidity could cause the company? Alright, from now on you are not to do sales; go to logistics instead!"
Hearing Mu Feng's words, the service employee went deathly white.
At Bai Cao Tang, sales was considered a golden rice bowl— high pay and relaxed work. Logistics, not only is the pay less, but also you have to process medicines every day, which is extremely hard.
At that moment, the employee was almost green with regret, lamenting his decision to judge a book by its cover.
Mu Feng turned to Lin Chen with a smile, "Sir, Bai Cao Tang is willing to purchase this thousand-year-old ginseng, please follow me."
Initially, when Lin Chen claimed he had found a thousand-year-old ginseng, Li Yuqing had been somewhat disdainful, but when Mu Feng confirmed its authenticity, Li Yuqing was almost stunned.
The two followed Mu Feng directly to the top floor of Bai Cao Tang, entering the chairman's office.
There, an elderly man was reclining in a lounge chair, holding a book on medicine.
Mu Feng approached the elder respectfully and said in a soft voice, "Father, there is hope for your hidden illness. This young brother has dug up a millennium ginseng from the mountain."
"What?" The elder immediately stood up from the recliner, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
"Where is the millennium ginseng? Let me have a look at it quickly."
Lin Chen handed over the ginseng to the elder, and Mu Yusen examined the ginseng carefully, "Truly, heaven aids me, heaven aids me."
"Young brother, this ginseng is indeed a millennium ginseng. According to market price, it should be five million. How about this, I'll add another million on top, how does six million sound to you?" The elder said excitedly.
Lin Chen nodded, "Of course, that's fine."
"Good, good! Feng'er, take this young brother to complete the transaction!" The elder placed the ginseng into a brocade box and said with an excited face.
Mu Feng gestured politely to Lin Chen and Li Yuqing and said, "Mr. Lin, I'll take you to make the transfer."
However, Lin Chen did not move. His gaze landed on the elder, and then he spoke, "Although this millennium ginseng is a fine thing, if this elder intends to use it to cure his hidden illness, I'm afraid it won't be effective. Instead, it might turn a hidden illness into an intractable disease, or even endanger his life."
"What did you say?" The elder's complexion changed upon hearing Lin Chen's words.
Mu Feng's face also grew dark, "What nonsense are you spouting, young fellow? This medicine is prescribed by a famous Divine Doctor in China; how dare you blaspheme it."
Lin Chen scoffed, "Divine Doctor? I say he's a quack."
Mu Yusen's eyes narrowed slightly as he waved at Lin Chen and said, "May I ask if the gentleman has discerned any hidden illness in me?"
Lin Chen replied indifferently, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have experienced deviation during a breakthrough three days ago, resulting in a regression of your cultivation level. Now, the energy inside your body is in chaos, leaving you weak and incapable of mobilizing the Spiritual Energy in your body."
Upon hearing Lin Chen's words, both Mu Yusen and Mu Feng's expressions changed.
Because what Lin Chen described was exactly what had happened to Mu Yusen.
"Mr. Lin, do you have a way?" Mu Yusen asked, staring at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Of course, there's a way, and it's quite simple. It will not only allow your body to recover but also enable you to break through your realm successfully."
"What!" Mu Yusen was astonished at Lin Chen's words.
It was known that deviation was a martial artist's greatest headache; the minor consequence was damage to one's cultivation, while the worst could cost one's life.
The prescription by the Divine Doctor was only said to stabilize his cultivation and mentioned that future improvements would be difficult to achieve.
"Please, sir, help me." Mu Yusen actually gave a deep bow to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen smiled, "Helping you isn't a problem, however..."
"Rest assured, as long as sir can help me eliminate this hidden illness, I am willing to add another five million as a consultation fee," the elder said excitedly.
Li Yuqing was almost dumbfounded at the side.
He and his father operated a small clinic every day, and their annual income was only tens of thousands, yet Lin Chen in just one day had made eleven million, which seemed like a dream.
Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, it's a deal. However, there can only be you and me in the room, no third person is allowed."
Mu Yusen nodded and said to Mu Feng, "Feng'er, you and the gentleman go outside, guard the door yourself, and without my orders, no one is allowed to enter."
"Yes, Father!" Mu Feng nodded vigorously.
