Chapter 396 Let the An Family Bleed

“Yes.” Old Master Gong said affirmatively: “One of my ancestors once found an 800-year-old purple salvia ginseng.”

"Oh!" Su Qing was really surprised.

Old Master Gong continued, "Speaking of which, our Gong family can be considered a family of traditional Chinese medicine. Our ancestor once had a world-famous doctor. He was very skilled in the art of medicine and imitated Shennong to taste all kinds of herbs. He also left us a precious notebook. Unfortunately, when it was passed to me, the notebook had already been damaged. However, I still learned a lot from it, just like the scar removal cream I prescribed for you, which is an ancient recipe left by my ancestor."

"It's really amazing." Su Qing couldn't help but say. As a wood-type ability in the healing and control departments, she could sense that the scar removal cream was really effective.

Old Master Gong nodded and said, "My ancestor was a brilliant man. Half of the prescriptions he passed down were his own creations. The 800-year-old purple salvia ginseng I told you about was also recorded in that notebook. According to the description in the notebook, the 800-year-old purple salvia ginseng will have some light golden lines similar to cracks on its surface. If you cut it open, you can see some light golden spots on the cut surface, and you can also see a few light golden lines on the leaves and flowers. These are the differences between the 800-year-old purple salvia ginseng and ordinary purple salvia ginseng. My ancestor even gave it a name, called bone-penetrating ginseng."

After listening to what Grandpa Gong said, Su Qing narrowed her eyes slightly. She thought of the forest deep in Lantau Island. If there really was a place where she could find the eight hundred year old purple salvia ginseng, that place should be one of them. After all, few people went to such deep forests, and the spiritual energy there was much richer than that in the outside world. Maybe she could really find it. Moreover, to be honest, Su Qing also wanted to go to Lantau Island again. The environment there was very suitable for upgrading her supernatural powers.

"Okay, I'll try to find it." Su Qing nodded directly.

Old Master Gong didn't expect Su Qing to be so happy to agree immediately. He just asked Su Qing tentatively today. He always felt that Su Qing was very lucky. She could find century-old Salvia miltiorrhiza and Millettia reticulata in the mountains. Such precious medicinal materials could not be bought even with money, but Su Qing could find them one after another, and more than one.

However, if Su Qing did not agree, he would not force her. After all, if he really wanted to find this eight hundred year old purple ginseng, he would have to go deeper into the mountains, and there would be more dangers in such a place.

He himself felt that his request was a bit unreasonable.

But Su Qing actually agreed, and he was prepared to be rejected by Su Qing.

"Su girl, are you really willing to look for it?" Old Master Gong said hurriedly, "Let's not talk about whether there are still 800-year-old purple ginseng in the world today. Even if there are, the place where it grows must be full of dangers, and there may be many dangers that ordinary people can't imagine."

Old Master Gong felt a little regretful. He felt that he had put Su Qing in danger for the sake of his nephew, so he quickly pointed out the danger, hoping that Su Qing would retreat.

Su Qing smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm just trying to look for it. If I can find it, that would be great. Don't worry, I value my life very much and won't put myself in danger. If I encounter a danger that I can't solve, I will run away and make sure I can get out of the mountain safely. I found a hundred-year-old purple salvia miltiorrhiza and chicken blood vine before. You should know my strength."

"Then we have a deal. Don't be reckless. It's better to not find the purple ginseng than to get out of the mountain safely." When Mr. Gong heard Su Qing say this, he reminded her.

"Okay, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." The deep mountains are Su Qing's playground. Nothing can hurt her. After all, her domain is not just for show.

"No, you risked so much to find medicine, you can't work in vain. The An family has to pay for this money, and it can't be less." Mr. Gong began to think about not letting Su Qing suffer a loss: "Also, we have to let the An family find some mercenaries to go into the mountains with you to protect your safety."

"Forget about mercenaries." Su Qing shook her head. Hiring mercenaries would simply be a burden to her. If she were to encounter danger, she wouldn't know who would protect whom. Those mercenaries would only slow her down in getting into the mountains. "But I agree to let the An family pay some money."

Su Qing didn't have a good impression of the An family. When the upper beam was crooked, the lower beams would be crooked too. After a lot of effort, the An family finally had a good bamboo shoot, but it was harmed by an even worse bamboo shoot. What's more, the people in the An family had a grudge against her. An Zhiwei not only provoked her, but also laid a hand on Cheng Beilin. Although the culprit was in jail, she was the most vindictive and must make the other party bleed.

"But mercenaries can at least protect your safety." Old Master Gong said hurriedly. He was afraid that Su Qing didn't know how powerful mercenaries were, so he said hurriedly: "I'll ask the An family to find the top three mercenaries in the world. They must be quite strong."

"I really don't need mercenaries. I can do it alone." Su Qing was firm in her attitude, not only because mercenaries were a burden, but also because with her current status, if people knew that she was involved with mercenaries, it might bring some trouble to the Li family. She still protected the Li family very much.

"Okay, it's settled. I'll call the An family now." Seeing Su Qing's insistence, Mr. Gong nodded. He did what he said and immediately called the An family's old house.

The An family knew that Mr. Gong had come to Xiangcheng. Mrs. An had originally wanted Mr. Gong to live in the An family's old house, but Mr. Gong simply ignored it and refused to contact Mrs. An. So, when Mrs. An received a call from Mr. Gong, she was still very surprised.

"Cousin, are you willing to come to our place?" Old Mrs. An asked happily.

"Humph, you think too much." Mr. Gong said, "I called you today about Zhihan's matter."

"Zhihan?" Mrs. An was shocked when she heard this: "What happened to Zhihan?"

Old Master Gong didn't waste any time and directly told An Zhihan that he needed to find a rare herb to treat his illness. Then he said, "My friend is willing to go find that herb. You An family can't be stingy. I'm risking my life to help you An family."

"Okay, no problem." As this matter concerned An Zhihan, Mrs. An felt deeply guilty towards her grandson. After hearing what Mr. Gong said, she agreed without hesitation: "If this girl really finds that herb, our An family will definitely not be stingy and will definitely reward her generously."

"Haha!" After hearing what Old Lady An said, Old Master Gong sneered, "This won't do."
