“Grandpa, there are two types of spirit herbs here among your herbs. There’s a Grade-2 spirit herb, Seven Star Grass, and a Grade-3 spirit herb, Peacebloom.”
Feng Ruqing strongly felt a tension in the atmosphere when she mentioned the Grade-3 spirit herbs. It was clear that a hungry beast had its eyes on the Grade-3 spirit herbs.
Feng Ruqing’s face darkened. These spirit herbs belonged to her grandfather. Her grandfather had clearly put a lot of effort into obtaining the spirit herbs. She would never let that hungry beast get hold of the spirit herbs.
Master Nalan looked at Feng Ruqing in surprise. “You… can recognize spirit herbs?”
“Grandpa, can you tell me how did you obtain these spirit herbs?” Feng Ruqing smiled and asked.
Grade-3 spirits herbs were very special. One would need to put in a lot of effort to obtain them in the first place, even if one had a lot of money.
Master Nalan sighed and replied, “These two spirit herbs had gone bad so I got them at a low price. I just wanted to try and see if I could make them live.”
Spirit herbs were different from normal herbs. The normal herbs could be stored as dried medicine but spirit herbs were only effective when they were fresh. However, some spirit herbs were not available in all seasons and therefore storing them was a difficult task.
These two spirit herbs were clearly rotting and they were no longer fresh. But, they would soon die if her grandfather continued using the traditional way to water them.
Feng Ruqing lowered her eyes and asked Fu Chen through telepathy, “Fu Chen, do you have any way to save these two spirit herbs?”
Soon, Fu Chen’s voice replied, “You can plant spirit herbs. So, for sure you can save them. Do you still need to ask me such a simple question?”
Feng Ruqing’s face darkened a little more. “Although they’re my family, I still cannot let them know about my ability to plant spirit herbs before I’m mature enough in doing so. Do you have any other ways?”
Fu Chen kept quiet for a while before saying, “There’s no other way. Why don’t you steal these two spirit herbs back for Qing Han and I to eat rather than leaving them here to go to waste?”
He was hungry for so long that he could not wait to eat those spirit herbs.
“You cannot have these spirit herbs.” Feng Ruqing’s eyes narrowed. “I’ll tell you what. If you don’t tell me the way, I’ll disown you.”
“…”
Fu Chen was shocked. He kept quiet for a long time before he reluctantly told her of the way. “You can soak a 100-year-old ginseng in water. Then, you can use it to water the spirit herbs. These are spirit herbs and they cannot be saved with normal medicine. At least you can try with the 100-year ginseng.”
“A 100-year-old ginseng is expensive but it is not a spirit herb. My grandpa will surely be able to obtain it with his influence and power.” Feng Ruqing now could smile with satisfaction.
Then, Fu Chen’s voice was heard again in a careful whisper. “You won’t disown me anymore now that I’ve told you the way, right?”
Where else could Fu Chen find another guardian to tend to his life if he lost her?
Unfortunately, Fu Chen had intended to lie to get the Peacebloom but now all efforts had gone to waste.
“You will always be my good son if you listen to me obediently.”
This son came naturally without any effort. He was gullible and innocent. She would be insane if she were to disown him.
Feng Ruqing smiled and looked at her grandfather. “Grandpa, I have heard of a way before. If you soak a 100-year-old ginseng in the water, you can use it to water the spirit herbs. Then, the spirit herbs could live with the spirit from the 100-year-old ginseng.”
Master Nalan was stunned. He kept quiet.
Feng Ruqing continuously persuaded them. “The spirit herbs are almost dead. You could try and see if this method could save them.”
