Chapter 96 Lincheng Medicine Capital

When he arrived in Lincheng, Yun Su could smell a faint scent of medicine in the air even when walking on the road.

This place is indeed worthy of being called the Medicine Capital. He had only seen it on TV before, and this is his first time in Lincheng.

Jiang Biechen raised his hand to brush the loose hair on Yun Su's forehead and asked with a gentle look, "Where are we going first?"

Yun Su raised his eyebrows, and the red mole at the end of his eye immediately rose up. "Isn't this place called the Medicine Capital? Then let's go to the largest concentration of medicinal materials and take a look."

"Okay." Jiang Biechen's lips curled up slightly.

Even though they had made some travel plans before coming, it was definitely their first time here and they were unfamiliar with the place. In the end, they had to ask around before they finally found the place.

As soon as he arrived, Yun Su smelled the medicinal scent here, which was several times stronger than before. After a rough glance, he found that the entire street was full of herbal medicine shops or some herbal medicine merchants who came here, so this whole street was also called Medicine Street.

Yun Su walked in front and Jiang Biechen followed beside him, holding hands and not caring at all about the looks these people gave them.

"Let's go and take a look." Yun Su turned around and smiled, then immediately pulled people towards a stall in the corner.

Jiang Biechen was being pulled like this, his eyes fixed on the figure in front of him. The noisy sounds around him gradually disappeared. He heard his own heartbeat and was happy for the person in front of him.

Yun Su picked up a plant of Chonglou and took a look at it. It was only about ten years old. He put it down and looked at the other herbs. Almost none of them were more than fifty years old.

"What's the oldest age of the herbs you have here?"

When the vendor saw Yun Su asking, he immediately said, "Little brother, you've found the right person. The oldest medicinal herbs I have here are one hundred years old."

As he spoke, he took out a box from under the stall. When he opened it, he found a hundred-year-old wild Ganoderma lucidum inside.

Seeing a hint of surprise in Yun Su's eyes, the vendor immediately closed the box and asked, "How is it? I didn't lie, did I? Among these vendors outside, no one except me, Old Liu, can bring out a hundred-year-old herbal medicine."

Mr. Liu pointed at himself and smiled smugly.

Yun Su stretched out two fingers and pushed his glasses, smiling gently, "Although a hundred years is a bit low, it's barely acceptable. Name your price!"

When Old Liu heard this, his eyes sparkled with brilliance. He immediately packed up the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand happily and named a price. Yun Su paid for it with his credit card without even thinking twice.

This made Old Liu very happy, and he started talking more. When he learned that the two people had come from other places specifically to collect high-year medicinal materials, Old Liu immediately said.

"Oh, these high-year medicinal materials are not easy to find. I guess only a few time-honored pharmacies in Lincheng may have them." Old Liu frowned and said after thinking for a while.

Jiang Biechen took the things and asked, "Which time-honored pharmacies are you talking about?"

Old Liu looked at them and finally said, "How about this! I'll take you two over after I pack up my stall."

Yun Su smiled and said, "Thank you very much, but if you close the stall now, wouldn't your work today be in vain?"

While packing up his stall, Old Liu said with a simple smile: "I, Old Liu, will not lie to you. It just so happens that the one Ganoderma lucidum you bought is enough for my whole family to enjoy for a month."

At this point, Old Liu sighed, "This Ganoderma Lucidum almost cost me my life. I rely on this thing to save my life! I met some people before, but they left when they heard the price I offered. I have thought about selling it to a pharmacy."

"But you also know that if we herbalists take it to them, they will definitely lower the price. The price they offer may not even be enough to compensate for the suffering I have endured in the deep mountains and forests. I almost thought that the things would be wasted, and that's what happened to the two of them."

Lao Liu moved quickly and the entire stall was packed up in less than ten minutes. Since stalls are usually fixed, he only needed to put away the things on them.

When Old Liu came out, Yun Su and Jiang Biechen discovered that there was something wrong with this man's legs and he walked with a slight limp.

Seeing the two people's eyes on his feet, Old Liu did not feel embarrassed at all, and said with a smile: "My leg fell off because of picking that Ganoderma lucidum. You said that I was selling it, but I would never agree to that!"

Neither of them spoke, just listening to Old Liu.

"I'll take you to Baicaotang first. If the herbs you two brothers want are not there, I'll take you to other pharmacies. This way."

Old Liu was walking in front, and he walked slowly because of his limp. Yun Su and Jiang Biechen did not urge him, but followed slowly behind Old Liu.

Along the way, Old Liu also talked about many things about the shops in the medicine street, such as the boss behind Baicaotang, a young man named Fang, who was already a famous Chinese medicine practitioner in the whole Lincheng at a young age. Many wealthy bosses came to Baicaotang for medical treatment.

Afterwards, Old Liu talked about the recent medicinal materials auction held by several drug stores in Lincheng.

"If I could send that Ganoderma lucidum to an auction, the price would surely be several million higher. Unfortunately, I don't have the connections, and that kind of place isn't something a commoner like me can enter." Old Liu shook his head after he finished speaking.

Yun Su's eyes flashed with interest, "Medicinal Herbs Auction?"

Jiang Biechen kept a close eye on Yun Su's expression. Seeing interest on his face, he immediately asked, "Want to go?"

"Well, now that I'm in this medicine capital, I naturally have to see the best medicinal materials here." Yun Su raised his eyebrows at Jiang Biechen and smiled slyly.

"Okay, let's go." Jiang Biechen raised his lower lip imperceptibly.

Old Liu, who was walking in front, listened to the conversation between the two and did not think that these two people were ignorant of their own limitations. Anyone who could take out several million at a time was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Oh, you two young brothers are really talented! If I could witness this auction of the upper class, I could brag about it for the rest of my life." Old Liu joked.

"We're here. This is Baicaotang. You two brothers, please go in by yourselves. I'll wait for you outside while I smoke a cigarette." After saying that, Old Liu took out a cigarette and a lighter from his pocket, walked aside and started smoking, occasionally greeting and chatting with acquaintances passing by, with a smile on his face all the time.

As soon as the two walked in, they were greeted by staff members, who asked whether they wanted to see a doctor or buy medicine.

Yun Su asked to buy medicine, and the worker brought the two of them to a counter.

The staff member sitting behind the counter saw someone coming over here and immediately stood up and said with a smile, "What kind of precious herbs do you two need?"

As soon as he entered Baicaotang, Yun Su used his spiritual sense to scan all the medicinal herbs inside, and found that there were indeed quite a few old herbs.

"Any medicinal material will do. The older the better."
