Chapter 230 - Treating Uncle De Biao
?After some time, Jiang Hao carefully removed nine Icy Jade Needles from Jiang De Biao's wrist. He then covertly administered half a bottle of Vital Essence, swiftly healing the injury on De Biao's wrist.
“Uncle De Biao, all set. Give it a try and move it around now!” Jiang Hao suggested as he tidied up his equipment.
?Upon hearing this, Jiang De Biao tentatively moved his hand. To his amazement, he could grip and release with ease, something he hadn't been able to do for nearly two decades.
Overwhelmed with emotion, Jiang De Biao wept with happiness, experimenting with different movements. “It's truly healed, truly healed!”
?The Old Master, witnessing this moment, couldn't help but reveal a look of contentment.
?Jiang Hao respectfully gave them space. It was only after a considerable pause that Jiang De Biao came to his senses. He hurried over to Jiang Hao and bowed deeply in gratitude.
“Hao Hao, thank you for restoring Uncle De Biao to wholeness!”
“Rest assured, I'll make sure you're satisfied with what you've asked for!” De Biao assured him.
That was precisely what Jiang Hao had been hoping for from Uncle De Biao.
“Thank you, Uncle De Biao. I'll be counting on you,” Jiang Hao replied, pulling out nine black iron pieces and a set of blueprints from his bag. “Uncle De Biao, I happened upon these nine unique iron pieces. Please use them for the material, and here's the blueprint as well.”
Jiang De Biao accepted the items, giving them a cursory glance.
“Good. I'll start forging it right away. Come pick it up this time tomorrow,” he said.
With Uncle De Biao's assurance, Jiang Hao and the Old Master left him to his work and headed home.
On his way back, Jiang Hao ran into Uncle An descending the mountain, a look of sheer excitement on his face.
?”Uncle An, what's got you so elated?” Jiang Hao inquired.
?Unable to contain his joy, Uncle An exclaimed, “Hao Hao, I found a huge wild ginseng on the mountain today. Can you guess how much it's worth?”
With that, Uncle An eagerly pulled a rolled-up shirt from his bag and unfurled it to reveal a ginseng as thick as a rolling pin, adorned with a red string.
?The ginseng's roots were sparse, its form lithe and nimble, with intricate patterns etched into its head and a substantial length of wild reed attached. At first glance, it was clearly a fine specimen of wild mountain ginseng, and it was no spring chicken.
?Just then, the system chimed in.
“Ding, a 50-year-old wild mountain ginseng has been detected. Would you like to decompose it?”
Jiang Hao, taken aback, turned to Uncle An, who was grinning with naive delight, and shared the good news.
“Uncle An, you've struck gold! This ginseng is fifty years old, and being wild mountain ginseng, its worth is even greater!”
Uncle An's chuckle turned into eager curiosity.
“So, how much do you reckon it could fetch?”
Hearing this, Jiang Hao gave Uncle An a surprised look.
“Uncle An, are you planning to sell it?”
Uncle An nodded, a hint of resignation in his gesture.
“Your Brother Pingan isn't exactly the most capable guy. He's pushing thirty and still hasn't found a wife. Just recently, he rang up to say he's got a girlfriend!
“At first, your aunt and I were thrilled. We asked him when they'd tie the knot, and his girlfriend said they could get married anytime.
The catch? He has to buy an apartment in the city first—no apartment, no wedding!”
“You know Brother Pingan isn't well-educated, so he doesn't have a high-paying job. He barely scrapes by each month.
A city apartment starts at half a million yuan, at least. How's he supposed to come up with that kind of money?”
“I've been fretting over this for days, planning to gather some things from the mountain to sell.”
“But I never imagined I'd be this lucky today, stumbling upon this ginseng!” Uncle An said, his smile broadening with joy.
