The old master and He Shouxiang were both on the verge of an adrenaline rush, and asked nervously, "You brought it back?"

Ye Qingqing shrugged and sighed regretfully, "The birds ate it all up, leaving only empty shells. I searched for ages before finding this one good one."

The old master craftsman and He Shouxiang's faces fell instantly, their hearts aching so much they could hardly breathe.

That's the King of Lingzhi!

That damned bird ate it!

The old master shook his head repeatedly, not doubting Ye Qingqing's words. All things have a spirit, and even birds know that Ganoderma lucidum is a good thing, so they will naturally go to peck at it.

"Young lady, the tea leaves from that old tea tree are also quite good. You can pick them next spring and sell them. I'll give you a high price!" the old master said with a smile.

Tea can be used as medicine. The Compendium of Materia Medica states: "Tea is bitter and cold, the yin within yin, it sinks and descends, and is most effective in reducing heat."

The thousand-year-old tea trees growing on cliffs absorb the essence of heaven and earth, making them even more beneficial to health. Drinking a few cups regularly can definitely prolong life. He was asking for this for himself.

As people get older, they naturally want to live longer.

Ye Qingqing was stunned. "You buy tea leaves too? How much per pound?"

"Of course, as long as you pick them, young lady, I will definitely buy them. Fresh leaves will cost at least fifty-one catties," the old man assured him.

"Okay, I'll go pick them next spring. They're too old now." Ye Qingqing was very happy. She had another way to make money. She estimated that there were still a lot of wild tea leaves on the mountain. Ten catties would be a hundred yuan!

Pipi never imagined that medicinal resources would be so scarce that even tea leaves would be taken advantage of. Who would have thought that wild tea was worthless before!

“When the medicinal herb garden expands, let’s get a few wild tea plants,” Pipi said.

Ye Qingqing wholeheartedly agreed. Could the tea grown in the space's medicinal garden be considered spiritual tea?

Just like in the cultivation novels I read in my past life, drinking spiritual tea every day can expel the turbid qi from the body, making one as light as a swallow, and perhaps even become an immortal!

"Daydreaming!" Pipi shattered her illusion.

The world is almost devoid of spiritual energy now; at most, one can only prolong life, but forget about becoming an immortal.

He Shouxiang pulled the old master aside and whispered, "This young lady is my son's friend. Her family is poor. This Ganoderma lucidum is of good quality and grew on a thousand-year-old tea tree. Master Chang, please give it a higher price!"

Master Chang smiled and said, "Don't worry, the old lady is currently collecting Ganoderma lucidum. This Ganoderma lucidum has arrived at just the right time, and the price she will offer will not be low."

He glanced at Ye Qingqing, who was sitting upright with her eyes fixed straight ahead, and secretly admired her. She was a well-behaved child, but a pity—

"Manager He, tell your son to let that young girl off the hook; she's still very young!" Master Chang specifically instructed.

Everyone in the pharmacy knows what kind of person He Weishao is. He's a decent person, good at making money and filial, and he's even reasonably good-looking. But he has one major flaw: he's a womanizer. Any girl who marries him is bound to have a miserable life.

The old master liked Ye Qingqing quite a bit and couldn't bear to see her being bullied by the wolf's claws.

He Shouxiang said irritably, "It has nothing to do with my son, it's a friend of my son's friend!"

Mother washes the clothes, and tonight she makes bitter melon stir-fried with eggs for the little rascal, which he hates the most. If he doesn't settle down and get married properly and have grandchildren, then that brat will eat bitter melon every day.

He Shouxiang asked with concern, "How is the old lady's health?"

Master Chang sighed, "I just had surgery, but it was discovered too late. I don't know how much longer I can hold on."

He Shouxiang looked somber and said with regret, "Alas... good people never have good fortune. The old lady suffered so much, and just when she was finally enjoying her life, she got that disease. Heaven is blind!"
