Chapter 9, Buying Ginseng
Xu Hao had expectations for such a situation, although he didn't know what happened to the evil ghost a few days ago.
But when he wanted to learn martial arts, the owner of the martial arts center did not accept him, saying that he had no talent, and Xu Hao also recognized it. He was a healthy otaku who did not exercise for a long time and had the talent for martial arts.
Cultivating immortals is obviously more talented than learning martial arts. He estimated that his talent for cultivating immortals is 10 times worse than his master, and his master will take one month to cultivate the first silk of magic power. Xu Hao estimated that he could practice magic power within a year, even if God blessed him.
Of course, Xu Hao did not fail to bring changes to Qingniu Temple. Hongyuan devoted himself to practicing Taoism, and the price of cultivation was not low. It can be said that Hongyuan spent thousands of taels of silver to practice Taoism a year, which shows how much consumption it consumed.
He has devoted all his income from the devils and evil spirits to practice over the years. After all, he is not talented enough and can only rely on resources to make up for it. Therefore, Qingniu Temple's finances have always been very nervous. The Taoist temple is dilapidated and has no money to repair it. He saves everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation. When he broke the Taoist robe when he eliminated ghosts, Hongyuan felt distressed for a long time. He changed into a new Taoist robe, but it was actually patched. It can be seen that Qingniu Temple's embarrassment is broken.
Many times, even the ancestor of Qingniu can only eat grass, which makes Qingniu complain. Although he is a buffalo, he does not like to eat grass. He is also a wise demon cattle. He likes to eat, eat vegetables, and even meat. Except for beef, he eats everything that people can eat. It can be said that the taste is almost the same as that of humans. The demon clan’s cultivation consumption is low, but he cannot even satisfy his good food and drink. The ancestor of Qingniu is really only left with a good reputation, so Qingniu is full of resentment towards Hongyuan.
Xu Hao's silver alone was worth more than a hundred taels of silver. The clothes he wore and the Longquan Sword were worth more than a hundred taels in this world. It can be said that Xu Hao's net worth is much greater than that of Qingniuguan.
Qingniu wanted to keep Xu Hao on the mountain, firstly because he was attracted by Xu Hao's talent, and secondly because he was attracted by Xu Hao's precious clothes. At first, he was a rich child and could improve Qingniu's life.
Now he has misunderstood his talent, but Xu Hao is really a rich man. After seeing Qingniu Temple's embarrassment, he immediately took out 100 taels of silver, saying it was a ceremony to apprenticeship.
With this money, the food of Qingniuguan immediately improved, and instantly won the favor of Hongyuan and Qingniu. The talent for cultivation is not guaranteed, but it is really rich! This disciple is not a loss.
Xu Hao has been in Qingniu Temple for more than half a month. He has eaten and drank every day. He has improved his physical fitness with the Benniu Fist for more than half a month, and has relieved his sub-healthy state. His current state is unprecedentedly good. He feels that he can kill a cow with one punch (Ancestor Qingniu: Who did I mess with, why did he hit me?). The only thing that is worried is spiritual energy or not, or can't sense it? He is still a Taoist boy without a trace of magic power.
Moreover, Xu Hao also began to worry about his parents who could not find him for more than half a month, so he would learn to call the police last time. So he told Hongyuan that he would go down the mountain to visit his parents and that he would not come back in at least seven days.
Hongyuan thought about it and agreed. In the past half month, he also saw Xu Hao's hard practice, but he could not sense his spiritual power, and it would be useless no matter how hard he was. He now felt that the ancestor Qingniu had taken a look with him. Xu Hao might not have the talent for cultivation, and it would be useless to continue to stay on the mountain. Why not go to the foot of the mountain now and maybe you will find his opportunity.
After Hongyuan agreed, Xu Hao went down the mountain. He originally planned to open the door of space and go back like this, but when he thought that he could only earn tens of thousands of yuan at most. With Hongyuan's practice, he knew that practicing Taoism cost a lot, and even his teacher's talent would cost thousands of taels of silver a year.
His talent is ten times worse than his teacher. He is not talented enough, so he can only make up for it by accumulating resources. I think he can't even practice magic power if he doesn't spend 10,000 taels a year. In this way, just bringing this little thing back will not be enough for his own practice.
He once again thought about something convenient here, but in modern society it is worth a thousand gold. After thinking for a long time, he really thought of one, ginseng!
Although ginseng can be artificially cultivated in modern society, the value of wild ginseng has not been affected. Even because of its sparse quantity, the price has soared to the sky. Old ginseng, which is more than a hundred years old, starts in millions and more than tens of millions. Instead of bringing gold back, it is better to bring a few ginseng back.
Thinking of this, Xu Hao turned his head and headed towards Anping County, came to the county town and entered a Renxin Pharmacy, and asked if there were any century-old mountain ginseng sold?
But the doctor went to shake his head at Xu Hao, and then told Xu Hao that there were only a few old ginseng plants that had been decades old. They could not afford it in the pharmacy for a hundred years, and they could not use it here either!
Anping County is not only located in the south, far away from the origin of ginseng, but also a small county town, so naturally there will not be too many expensive medicinal materials.
This disappointed Xu Hao, but he directly bought these decades of old ginseng plants, and asked the doctor to help him pay attention to the news about the century-old ginseng, and left a deposit, asking the doctor to help him buy ten decades of old ginseng plants!
After doing this, Xu Hao found a place without people and opened the space door to return to modern society.
But as soon as he came back, he found that the horse he bought died in his house. It seemed that living things could not travel through time and space with him.
He could only ask someone to help deal with the dead horse. After doing these things, he looked at the information on his mobile phone, and sure enough, his parents called again.
Xu Hao said to himself: "If you want to find a way to hide your whereabouts, otherwise the explanation will not be understood in the future. Moreover, after cultivating immortals, it will take him to stay in the Daqi world for a longer time. If there is no reasonable explanation, parents must be worried."
The solution that Xu Hao thought of was to open a trading company. He went overseas and did not come back for a few months, so there was a reasonable explanation.
Then Xu Hao spent a few days with his parents and changed his life in Qingniu Temple. Fortunately, in this world, there are many people living in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain. There is no flaw in what Xu Hao said. His parents really thought that Xu Hao had been in seclusion for half a month in Zhongnan Mountain!
This made them a little worried. My son wouldn't really want to become a Taoist priest, right?
Fortunately, Xu Hao said he wanted to start a business and opened a foreign trade company, which made them feel relieved, but he began to care about Xu Hao's entrepreneurship again. Xu Hao could only lied that a comrade in the country of Goryeo made a fortune and asked him to go there. His trading company mainly sold ginseng from Goryeo to China!
