Ultimate Village Doctor

Chapter Two Hundred and Forty-Seven

Long Xiaoshan never expected that by giving away just one Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng, he would receive such a tremendous benefit.

Not to mention the many treasures inside the ring.

The value of the Space Ring alone was infinite, something that no amount of money could buy.

Long Xiaoshan wore the Space Ring on his finger and couldn't help but marvel at his own good luck.

At the same time, he felt very grateful to Old Master Bai, as he owed the Bai family a huge favor.

These items were incomparable to a single Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng, and probably even a thousand-year-old Ginseng couldn't be traded for them.

He must find a way to repay the favor, that's right, wasn't he capable of Alchemy? Though Ginseng was good, it was far from the finished Elixir Pills. He remembered a few formulas in the Pharmacopoeia that prolonged life and increased longevity; he could refine a few batches and give them to Old Master Bai later on.

Furthermore, Bai's Medicinal Materials was limited because Bai Susu was a woman, and a beautiful one at that, surrounded by wolves on all sides, hindering her from development on many fronts.

Now, having secured a leading position in Hechuan City himself,

many of the local heavyweights had to listen to his commands.

With such resources, helping Bai's Medicinal Materials develop into a powerful group wouldn't be a problem at all.

After all, he had plenty of medicinal formulas at hand.

All of these could be discussed with Auntie Su.

"Xiaoshan, come out for dinner," said Bai Susu as she walked in.

"Ok."

Long Xiaoshan got up and went outside, where breakfast was laid out under the camphor tree in the courtyard.

There were poached eggs, mixed vegetables, steamed buns, and medicinal porridge, all very light and suitable for the family.

After sitting down, Long Xiaoshan began to eat and mentioned to Bai Susu his plans to invest in Bai's Medicinal Materials Company.

"You want to invest in Bai's Medicinal Materials?"

"Yes, I have some medicinal formulas at hand, and I know how to cultivate medicinal herbs. I plan to hand them over to Bai's Medicinal Materials to operate. Right now, I also have a Century-Old Snow Lotus that is as old as the Ginseng. I hope to let Bai's Medicinal Materials sell it and then reinvest the money into further development."

"What, you have another Hundred-Year-Old Medicine, and it's the same age as that Ginseng?" Bai Susu exclaimed, nearly dropping her chopsticks to the ground.

This was astounding.

The Ginseng had been tested by machines to have two hundred years' worth of medicinal strength.

If Long Xiaoshan had another two hundred years' old Snow Lotus,

such herbs, if released into the market, would cause a sensation and would definitely make Bai's Medicinal Materials famous overnight. She was all too aware of the power of a Hundred-Year-Old Medicine, let alone one of two hundred years.

Fearfully, there might not be another medicinal materials company in the province that could offer such herbs for sale.

"Yes, I have one more, take a look." Long Xiaoshan took out his cell phone, opened the gallery, and found a photo of the Snow Lotus he had taken at home, showing it to Bai Susu.

Bai Susu took it and looked closely.

From the photo, the age of the Snow Lotus seemed very high; although it was just a photo and could be Photoshopped, she believed that Long Xiaoshan would not deceive her.

Bai Susu's heart pounded furiously.

She just couldn't understand anymore.

Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng was hard to come by and couldn't be bought with just money, yet Long Xiaoshan could produce one after another.

"Auntie Su, don't look at me like that; this is really all I have. I don't have any more," Long Xiaoshan said with a smile. The ability to accelerate the age of herbs was his biggest secret. He couldn't possibly reveal it, as it would attract great trouble.

Bai Susu gave a gentle smile but shook her head and said, "I can't accept this Century-Old Snow Lotus from you."

"Why not?"

"With this Century-Old Snow Lotus, you could completely start your own company with it and instantly break into the market. Why would you hand it over to me to sell? I can't take such a big advantage from you. I already don't know how to repay you for that Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng. If you really want to sell it, I can help you manage the process, but you should start a company and sell it under your own name," Bai Susu said.

"No, I don't have the time, and to tell you the truth, Auntie, you must be aware of my identity by now," Long Xiaoshan said.

"I know now," Bai Susu said. "You're from Niuyi County Longyang Village, the chairman of Longyang Group, and you developed those health-preserving fruits and vegetables." Bai Susu spoke, recalling how last time at Jingheng Hotel, Long Xiaoshan had gotten into a dispute with Gu Jingheng and had injured a member of the Ye Family without any repercussions. She couldn't help but do some investigating.

It was not easy for her to find out from Shangguan Baihe either.

"Exactly, now that you know, I'm busy running a big company. I'll leave the selling of the medicine to you. Moreover, I won't let you sell it for nothing; just give me a 20% share in Bai's Medicinal Materials," Long Xiaoshan said.

"You really are reckless. A two-century-old Snow Lotus could buy my entire company, and you're only asking for 20%? You might as well just give it to me," Bai Susu said, getting angry.

"Then that's fine too," Long Xiaoshan nodded repeatedly.

"Long Xiaoshan!" Bai Susu's pretty face turned red as she stood up and walked inside. "You can sell it to whoever you want; I don't want it."

To see the usually gentle Bai Susu actually getting angry.

Long Xiaoshan also felt a bit frightened and didn't understand why she was so angry.

Bai Xuehen quickly ran inside.

"Grandpa Bai, what's wrong with Auntie Su?" Long Xiaoshan asked.

Bai Yizhan pointed at Long Xiaoshan and said, "You, you are still young. Although Su Su has a gentle nature, she is very proud at heart. Aren't you hurting her pride with what you're doing?"

Long Xiaoshan was a smart person.

He understood that he had been too hasty.

He himself didn't want to owe Bai Yizhan any favors and wanted to repay the Bai Family, but Bai Susu didn't know that. To continuously give away such precious Century-Old Medicine, for Bai Susu, wasn't it just the same? Too heavy a favor was also a burden, especially for someone with Bai Susu's pride.

"Grandpa Bai, I'm sorry, I was rash. I'll go in and apologize to Auntie Su."

"Go on, I know you didn't mean it. Su Su won't blame you," he said.

Long Xiaoshan ran towards Bai Susu's room.

Seeing him come in, Bai Xuehen glared at him and said, "Stinky Big Brother Xiaoshan, you made mom cry."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Long Xiaoshan hurried over and saw that Bai Susu's eyes were red and there were still traces of tears. He quickly said, "Auntie Su, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I didn't explain things clearly to you."

"Actually, it's not that your Bai Family owes me a favor, but rather it's me who owes the Bai Family."

"I owe your family?" Bai Susu looked up in confusion and said, "Are you trying to come up with some excuse to deceive me again?"

"It's not like that," he said.

Long Xiaoshan thought for a while, walked over to the table, and put his right hand, the one with the ring, in front of a bronze mirror on the table, saying, "Look."

Bai Susu and Bai Xuehen looked over.

Suddenly, the mirror disappeared.

"What is this? Magic?" Bai Xuehen asked curiously.

Long Xiaoshan then aimed the ring at the dressing table, and suddenly the entire vanity also vanished.

Both women's eyes widened in disbelief.

They knew about magic tricks, but they also knew that such tricks often required props and preparation, and for this close-up magic to make a whole table disappear seemed nearly impossible.
