Chapter 375 Ancient Ginseng and Old Ginseng


Chapter 375 Ancient ginseng and old ginseng

There is no need to mention eating and drinking.

After the reception banquet prepared for Hei Jiamen and Axiang was over, Sheng Shengman, who had been waiting for a long time, found an opening and handed over the report in his hand.

"Mr. Chen, this is the estimated payment. Take a look."

"How much is the deviation?"

"It's difficult to determine the fluctuation of market prices, but it should be within 5%."

"That's okay."

Chen Ziyan briefly flipped through the report in his hand and looked at the end with emphasis. The total price, nodded slightly.

Hu Bayi told him about this, and there was no huge difference in the amount.

"Mr. Chen, the equipment for heading to the snowy region is almost ready. We only have some ginger left." Seeing this, he continued in a slow voice.

"Ginger? Why are you bringing that thing? If it's to keep out the cold, why not bring more spirits." Wang Kaixuan heard this and immediately asked his doubts.

Hu Bayi understood this and explained from the side: "Fat man, you have never been to the snowy mountains, so you don't know. When we were constructing there before, we encountered black ice that had existed for an unknown number of years. It was absolutely strong. It's beyond your imagination. Even if you swipe the manuscript hard, you can only hit a white spot. Ordinary tools can't do anything about it. "

"How did you do the construction?" Wang Kaixuan asked.

“Hey, just like rice vinegar can corrode the rammed earth layer, all things in this world have their own growth and development, and there happens to be something that can restrain this black ice. You can just apply ginger juice on the tools. Although it is not as easy as cutting tofu cubes, it can definitely save a lot of effort," Hu Bayi explained.

"Then we need to get more ginger juice. Don't run out of it when the time comes." After hearing Hu Bayi's explanation, Wang Kaixuan immediately understood the importance of ginger juice and said quickly.

"Don't worry, our preparations this time are definitely sufficient." Chen Ziyan knew that he was saying this to himself, and immediately gave an answer.

Then, he looked at the voice beside him and asked: "This place will be taken over by the joint archaeological team in a few days. If you have something to do, you can leave first."

Now that the statements have been released, this transaction is coming to an end, which is why Chen Ziyan said this.

Actually, this can be regarded as a reminder. After all, the Crescent Hotel also sells antiquities, and 80% of them will not get along well with the upcoming joint archaeological team, so it is better for the two parties not to meet.

But he said in a slow voice: "Master Chen, how about we work together again?"

"Oh?" Chen Ziyan turned his head to look at her and asked: "The place in the snowy area is different from here. There may not be many ancient objects, but there are definitely few gold and jade objects."

Smiling slowly: "Mr. Chen, you also know the current situation. We can't return to the capital yet. In this case, we might as well go with you to see it."

She knew that the person in front of her was not easy to fool, so she didn't make any excuses. , expressed his true thoughts directly and implicitly.

According to their plan before coming here, after completing the business here, they would go directly to the area close to the border to wait for news.

But after seeing the abilities of Chen Ziyan and his group, Sheng Shengman suddenly changed her mind. She felt that it might be better to follow Chen Ziyan and the others.

She knew that the traces of herself and others were no secret, and there might be a lot of prying eyes around now, so it was better to set up a trap to deal with those with evil intentions.

The place of Snowy Land is an excellent choice, both for her and those in the dark.

Speaking of which, this is the same as Chen Ziyan's use of Longling Cave to create a game. It can be seen that many things lead to the same goal through different paths.

"It's okay if you...it can give you an extra guarantee." Chen Ziyan paused for a moment and then agreed directly.

The reason why he agreed to slow voice's proposal was because when Chen Ziyan was about to refuse, the system's selection was triggered.

【bite! Choose to trigger! 】

[Choice 1: Agree to the slow proposal. Reward: Ten Thousand Years Ancient Ginseng]

[Choice 2: Reject the slow proposal. Reward: Millennium Old Ginseng】

The choice given by the system this time is very simple, there are only two options: yes or no.

And the level of difficulty can also be seen from the rewards. The rewards are all ginseng, and the only difference is the age.

Needless to say, there is no need to mention the reward after rejection. Although thousand-year-old ginseng is considered a treasure, it is often found in the remote mountains and forests that are inaccessible. It can only be said to be priceless, but it is not a peerless thing.

But the ten-thousand-year-old ancient ginseng is different. Just by looking at its age, it can be regarded as a unique thing. Just look at the wood root that has been secretly transplanted and you will know that this kind of thing is already at a crossroads. into the edge of another realm.

Plants are no different than animals. It is as difficult as climbing to the sky to cross that hurdle.

Chen Ziyan has never forgotten the characteristics of his own bloodline. Although he has been eating continuously, how can those available on the market be compared with such a peerless thing.

So after briefly understanding the situation, Chen Ziyan chose the first option without hesitation.

Of the two choices given by the system this time, although the latter can get a thousand-year-old ginseng without doing anything, the effect on him is only that much, and it is difficult to give an immediate prompt.

But the ancient ginseng given as the first choice can definitely do this. Chen Ziyan even guessed that after taking this ancient ginseng completely, his physical strength is likely to exceed Unparalleled ghost.

The only thing he has to do is to take the people from the Crescent Hotel to the snowy area, which is nothing to him.

As a matter of fact, Chen Ziyan could probably guess Sheng Shengluo's plan, but it had nothing to do with him.

After all, if the people from the Crescent Hotel are waiting slowly, they will not follow them to Kunlun. Instead, they will wait in the settlement below, which will not interfere with their movements at all.

The only thing that might affect them is that it would attract some unnecessary attention.

But while waiting for the outside world to react, Chen Ziyan and the others had already started taking action. Even if someone wanted to get involved, it was too late.

"Mr. Chen, we can..." Shen Sheng said slowly and thought that Chen Ziyan would refuse, so he tried to lure him. However, halfway through the words, he realized that Chen Ziyan had made a mistake and couldn't help but feel deeply surprised.

"Why, is it difficult to accept?" Chen Ziyan asked with a smile.

Logically speaking, he should really take advantage of the situation and agree reluctantly. This is the best choice for them.

In fact, he originally planned to do this, but after thinking about his guess, Chen Ziyan suddenly changed his mind. Although ten thousand-year-old ginseng is good, thousand-year-old ginseng is also good.

Crescent Hotel probably has a lot of expensive tonics that are old, but these things are definitely not for sale. Occasionally, one or two items are put up for auction, and the price must be many times higher. Take it.

Although Chen Ziyan didn't know how long it would take him to completely digest the ancient ginseng, he knew that he would need a steady supply of precious medicinal materials in the future, so he set his sights on the Crescent Hotel.

"How could that happen?" Sheng Sheng said quickly with a smile.

This is a good thing for her, only a fool would object to it.

However, she had a vague feeling in her heart that there must be some conspiracy behind Chen Ziyan's willingness to agree so readily, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

"Arrange reliable manpower to send equipment and materials to Gazebuqing near Karamir. We will set off there then." Chen Ziyan did not stay too long on this topic and said to the voice Said slowly.

Since you have decided to take them with you, just like here, let the people from the Crescent Hotel prepare a temporary camp in Gezebuqing, and that place is sparsely populated, and there are mostly wastelands and no-man's land nearby. , just right for Sheng Sheng to launch his own plan.

"Okay." He said slowly and happily.

She understood what Chen Ziyan meant, which was to use the early covert actions to create an information gap, which would be beneficial to both of them.

As for her inner plan being revealed, she was not surprised, because she was able to come up with this idea to some extent because of Chen Ziyan's inspiration.

After Sheng Sheng left slowly, Hu Bayi thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, are we really going to take them there with us?"

"Don't worry, they won't do any good if they don't enter the mountain. It’s nothing to do with us,” Chen Ziyan said.

Gazebuqing seems to be close to Karamir, but in fact there is a constant distance between the two. It can be said that no one can hinder the other.

As for whether the slow-talking side can succeed, Chen Ziyan is not sure, but what is certain is that even if it fails to get what it wants, the Crescent Hotel will not suffer.

Wang Kaixuan saw Hu Bayi looking thoughtful and said, "Old Hu, why do you think so much? We have encountered few ups and downs. Even if there is an accident, Just keep your head high and move forward."

The guy with black glasses also said: "What the fat man said makes sense, there is no place in this world that can trap us all."

His words were not out of nowhere, but his true thoughts after understanding the abilities of Chen Ziyan and others.

"While we have time, let's take a look at the relevant information first." Chen Ziyan seemed to be getting further and further away from the topic, so he took the backpack next to him and distributed the information inside to everyone.

No matter what, it’s time to start taking action. There’s no harm in getting familiar with it.

A few people took the information and after studying it for a while, Hu Bayi said: "Master Chen, I read here that the only record about the Demon Kingdom is the "Enemy-Conquering Orb" spoken by a Tibetan singer. Wang Wuxun's poem "I happened to know a heavenly singer before. Should we go to him for help?"

It was only after he saw this information that he realized that although the so-called demon kingdom was mentioned many times, There is no real record in history.

So I couldn't help but think of the Tiebang Lama Ake I had met at the beginning, and I came up with the idea of ​​seeking help from him.

And if he wants to find his destination smoothly, he must find a reliable guide, and Lama Ake is his favorite target candidate.

"Heaven-given singer..."

Hearing Hu Bayi mention Tiebang Lama, Chen Ziyan subconsciously pondered.

Because he suddenly had an idea, that is, whether this so-called heavenly gift of singing poets was related to the Zhang family's heavenly gift.

However, he has never had close contact with either of them, so he doesn’t really understand them, so this idea just passed by him briefly.

After thinking about it, Chen Ziyan felt that it was best not to take Lama Ake with him. The water here in the snowy area was not as shallow as Zhongyuan Qian at all, especially when it came to sects. He didn’t want to mess with it at all. .

In fact, in his previous life, Chen Ziyan felt that something was wrong with Lama Ake. You must know that this is an iron lama who has protected many Buddhas. His status is definitely not simple. It makes no sense to be so easily involved with Hu Bayi and the others.

So based on the principle that doing more is worse than doing less, Chen Ziyan thought it would be better not to trouble the master. Anyway, he roughly knew the specific route. When the time came, he would find a local senior guide to lead the way. There is no need to trouble the master.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan said to Hu Bayi: "There is no need to trouble the master. The specific positions are all on Guge Yinyan. The Feng Shui in the Snowy Region is different from that of the Central Plains, but it is not too obvious. You will be able to lead the way, and a guide will be enough when the time comes."

Wang Kaixuan stood on Chen Ziyan's side this time and said: "Yes, I think Master Chen is right. I remember you told me about the Tiebang Lama. He is already so old. It is very dangerous to go to the snowy mountains at this time."

Obviously, the real reason why this guy took sides with Chen Ziyan is that he thinks the Tiebang Lama is. Because he is too old, he subconsciously thinks that the other person is a drag, and does not want to cause trouble for himself.

When Hu Bayi heard what the two said, he nodded slightly: "That's true, there is no need to trouble Ake about this matter."

It was only after he was reminded by Wang Kaixuan that he remembered that Tiebang Lama had He is no longer young, and now that it has been so many years, it is simply difficult for the elderly to be taken into the crisis-ridden Kunlun Mountains.

And what Chen Ziyan said is not unreasonable. Since we can locate the gold according to the ancient silver eye, when the time comes, we can bring a guide who is familiar with the local terrain, and the role of Tiebang Lama can be replaced.

It can be said that at this point, the composition of the team in the original plot has been completely changed by Chen Ziyan.

However, it is conceivable that this more refined and professional team will definitely not lose to the original plot.

Black Glasses suddenly said: "Mr. Chen, do we have to think about weapons?"

He also suddenly remembered this, Kunlun Mountain is no joke, sometimes cold weapons More appropriate, after all, shooting can cause an avalanche.

Chen Ziyan heard this and said: "This time we mainly focus on crossbows and cold weapons. We will bring some firearms, but they cannot be used unless absolutely necessary."

Of course he also thinks about this. I have thought about it for a long time, but there is no good way. I can only make this kind of compromise preparation.

As for the complete abandonment of firearms in order to prevent triggering an avalanche, Chen Ziyan never even thought about it.

Just for those things that appeared in the original plot, there are many things that cannot be dealt with by cold weapons, and no one knows now whether there will be any unexpected changes, so it is even more difficult to give up the firearms that are handy.

Not to mention that Chen Ziyan also knew very well that they would probably have to go to the so-called underground world, where there would be no avalanches caused by the sound of gunfire, so the number of guns and ammunition he prepared was not at all compared to this time. few.
