Noticing Lu Jueyu’s doubts, Doctor Xie pointed at the ginseng and said, "We can count the age of the ginseng from this part. Each section represents a year."
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu started counting. When she finished, she was stunned. This ginseng was indeed 839 years old.
While she was still confused by the discovery, Doctor Xie asked, "Girl, can you sell me this ginseng?"
Lu Jueyu went silent upon hearing his words. The price of ginseng in the black market has risen lately, making it hard to determine its value.
The older the ginseng, the higher the price. But the oldest ginseng in the black market was only 100 years old. So, how much should she sell this ginseng for?
Thinking that she was unwilling to sell, Doctor Xie grew anxious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Girl, I know this ginseng is priceless, and I don’t have enough money to buy it from you. How about I trade gold for it?"
This time, Lu Jueyu shook her head and said, "Doctor Xie, you know that gold is a forbidden item. Even if I own it, I can’t use it. What’s more, if I need money, I’d still have to take the risk of going to the black market to exchange it. Even then, the price of gold would be very low."
Raising his hand, Doctor Xie said, "I will give you five boxes of gold."
Lu Jueyu’s heart skipped a beat when she heard this, but she showed nothing on her face. She looked at Doctor Xie and said unhappily, "Doctor Xie, you are joking with me, right?"
Gritting his teeth, he added another hand and said, "Ten boxes!"

Seeing that she was still frowning, Doctor Xie said, "Girl, each box contains more than 100 kilograms of gold. Even if you exchange it for money, you can still get at least 100,000 yuan!"
After a moment of silence, Lu Jueyu finally let out a long sigh and said reluctantly, "Since we are friends, I will trade it with you."
When Doctor Xie heard this, he didn’t feel at a disadvantage at all. He quickly nodded and said, "Girl, I will give you the map. You need to dig up the gold yourself. It’s buried behind the mountain foothills."
"I still have to dig it myself?" Lu Jueyu asked unhappily.
"Girl, look at my old bones. If I dig it up, it will take me several days. You can just ask your husband and son to do it for you. Both of them are strong. They will finish digging it up in a day or two at most," Doctor Xie persuaded her.
Lu Jueyu frowned and hesitated for a moment before finally nodding, "Alright then."
As soon as he heard this, Doctor Xie quickly took the tray with ginseng on it and said, "Girl, lend me a clean cloth."
Seeing how excited he was, Lu Jueyu didn’t say anything and went to find one.
After wrapping the ginseng carefully in the cloth, Doctor Xie tucked it inside his clothes. With this ginseng, he no longer had to worry about running out of ginseng powder.
Watching his excitement, Lu Jueyu asked, "Doctor Xie, what do you plan to do with this ginseng?"
