Chapter 126 Purple Wisteria Vine_1
For Su Chengyu to concoct the Heavenly Pill, aside from ginseng and Lingzhi, the most important ingredient was this hundred-year-old He Shou Wu. Other medicinal herbs were actually not that hard to find.
"It seems like Aunt Xu is blessing me. I encounter such good fortune right from the start."
Su Chengyu was overjoyed. With the numerous adversaries he was about to face, he urgently needed to increase his power. Only by concocting the Heavenly Pill could he achieve a breakthrough.
He quickly moved towards it, crouched down, and held this He Shou Wu in his hand to inspect. Upon holding it, he could detect a strong spiritual power contained within.
If it were artificially grown using chemical fertilizers, it would carry no spiritual power and such medicinal herbs would be completely useless.
This He Shou Wu was rich in spiritual power and its roots were purple. It was no ordinary He Shou Wu but one that had grown for at least a hundred years—the number of years it takes for a He Shou Wu to turn purple. This was called a Purple Wuteng and those growing for around fifty years would turn green—known as Green Wuteng.
"Sir, how much are you selling this He Shou Wu for?" Su Chengyu asked.
The truth is, the old man had no idea how much this Purple Wuteng was worth. He believed that such a large wild-grown He Shou Wu would certainly fetch a good price.
The old man patted his tobacco pipe on the ground, tucked it away, and intertwining two fingers, he said, "One hundred thousand."
Su Chengyu could tell that the old man had no confidence in his asking price and was just tentatively quoting it.
Sure enough, someone nearby immediately rebuked, "One hundred thousand? You old man, you’ve got some nerve to ask for that much."
