Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Excitement

Hua Buwan set off to meet the old doctor of traditional medicine, bringing along the Wild Ginseng, Lingzhi, and Astragalus propinquus she had dug up. Along the way, she prayed silently, hoping to sell them for a good price.

She soon arrived at Grandpa Feng’s pawnshop. Both he and Grandma Wen were there, along with a white-haired but hale and hearty old man. This must be the old doctor Grandma Wen had mentioned.

Wen Erya stepped forward at this moment to introduce them to each other.

Hua Buwan knew that this old doctor was a retired state-level medical expert. Now, he only occasionally came out to see patients, spending most of his time at home walking his birds and tending to his flowers. However, since both his son and grandson had inherited his mantle, he would sometimes come out to offer them some guidance or to consult on difficult and complicated cases. His visit to the ancient town this time was simply to catch up with old friends.

The old doctor’s name was Gu Fangfeng.

Hua Buwan thought to herself, "As expected of a long line of medical practitioners, even his name is a medicinal herb."

After the introductions, they skipped the small talk, and Hua Buwan carefully took out her treasures.

The old doctor closely examined the wild herbs, a hint of pleasant surprise flashing in his eyes. As he studied them, he couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of nature.

"Young lady, where did you get these herbs?" the old doctor asked curiously.

Hua Buwan smiled faintly. "These were given to me by relatives in my hometown. They are Medicine Gatherers who frequently venture deep into the mountains to search for precious herbs. These Lingzhi were discovered by them completely by chance."

The old doctor nodded. "They must be highly experienced Medicine Gatherers. The quality of this Lingzhi is exceptional, and it has a history of over a hundred years. This is incredibly rare."

"Dr. Gu, how much can these herbs sell for?" Hua Buwan asked.

The old doctor pondered for a moment before replying, "The value of these herbs is very high, but I can’t give you an exact price just yet. I need to further appraise and study them to determine their true worth."

Hua Buwan nodded. "Alright, Dr. Gu. I trust you will offer a fair price."

The old doctor chuckled. "Rest assured, young lady. I will definitely do my best."

With that, he picked up the herbs, walked over to a nearby table, and gathered his tools. Meanwhile, Hua Buwan sat quietly on a chair outside, waiting.

"I’ll take all of these herbs," the old doctor finally announced. "How about this: I’ll give you two million for the Lingzhi, five thousand for the Astragalus propinquus, and five hundred thousand for the Wild Ginseng."

Hua Buwan was overjoyed; her prayers had finally been answered. She looked at the old doctor with profound gratitude, and he returned a smiling nod.

Calculating her total earnings from the herbs, Hua Buwan felt exceptionally cheerful. The money soon arrived in her account. Gleefully, she promised the old doctor that the next time she found high-quality wild herbs, she would bring them straight to him.

After leaving the pawnshop, Hua Buwan returned to her supermarket. She had added the old doctor on WhatsApp so she could contact him directly in the future, and she also made plans with Grandpa Feng and Grandma Wen to get together for tea when they were free.

Having secured such a good price, Hua Buwan’s first thought was to find Ling Qianjun. She wanted to share this good news with the Ling family right away. Thus, she stood before the Any Door, excitedly waiting for Ling Qianjun to come over and open it.

Fortunately, she and Ling Qianjun shared a certain tacit understanding. She didn’t have to wait long before he actually unlocked it.

The moment the door opened, Ling Qianjun was greeted by Hua Buwan’s beaming smile.
