Two hundred over thousand-year-old ginseng plants, if pushed onto the market, would surely shock the entire traditional Chinese medicine industry and become an unparalleled wonder.
Currently, obtaining even a fifty-year-old ginseng is incredibly difficult and costly, let alone a thousand-year-old one!
Thousand-year-old ginseng is an absolute heavenly treasure for cultivators, and people would fight tooth and nail to acquire it, regardless of the price.
However, if a thousand-year-old ginseng is consumed improperly, it would not only fail to enhance a cultivator's abilities but might even prove too potent and cost the user their life.
This is precisely why Long Xiaotian and Jiang Feijiao, despite possessing thousand-year-old ginseng, have never consumed it.
Cheng Xiaofan decided that after these thousand-year-old ginseng plants matured, he would sell a portion and refine another portion into elixirs for his own use.
Within the Shennong inheritance, there exists a secret art for refining elixirs using thousand-year-old ginseng.
Although some of the happy fruits in the spatial dimension had been harvested, they later bloomed and fruited again, now laden with ripe fruits.
Cheng Xiaofan felt that with nothing else to do, he might as well take this opportunity to brew a pot of good wine, to be stored for his women and family.
While his mother's brewery produced excellent happy wine, the wine brewed by him using the happy fruits from the spatial dimension was qualitatively different.
He picked some fruits from the spatial dimension, then came out and began boiling glutinous rice. He added the happy fruits and starter culture, then stirred.
Finally, Cheng Xiaofan poured the mixture into a large jar and transported it directly into the spatial dimension for storage.
It wasn't until evening that Cheng Xiaofan returned home. After dinner, while Xianyu Yan was not around, he said to Bai Yiling, "Yiling, tomorrow when we go to Haicheng, we don't need to take the Breaking Heaven Eagle. I'm worried Xianyu Yan might become obsessed with it, which wouldn't be good for her brain recovery."
"Okay, Xiaofan. I'll follow your arrangements. Tomorrow, I'll have Luo Cheng drive us to Haicheng by car!" Bai Yiling replied.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and added, "Don't take Xianyu Yan's proposal of becoming sworn sisters too seriously. Once her brain fully recovers, she'll have her own business in Haicheng."
Hearing this, Bai Yiling asked, "Did you discover something about Xianyu Yan?" She knew her mysterious man possessed great abilities, and if he hadn't sensed something about Xianyu Yan, he wouldn't have told her this.
Cheng Xiaofan paused for a moment, then said, "From the aura I sensed from Xianyu Yan, I can tell she's a very career-oriented person. Once her brain returns to its previous state, she'll dedicate all her energy to the Xianyu family's business."
"She's someone who values her career more than her own life."
"At that time, Xianyu Yan will become a completely different person. As for her interactions with you, me, and Mom, they will all fade from her memory."
"Perhaps the next time we meet, she won't recognize us at all!"
"Xiaofan, I understand what you're saying!" Bai Yiling smiled. "You're worried that I'll be emotionally hurt when I face her changes, and that's why you're subtly hinting at this to me."
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "Yes. I know you're a person who values emotions greatly, which is why I'm telling you this in advance!"
Bai Yiling smiled, "Xiaofan, thank you for the heads-up. Otherwise, if I called her a while from now and she suddenly said she didn't recognize me, I would indeed be heartbroken!"
"Sister, brother-in-law, want some watermelon!"
As Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling were chatting, Xianyu Yan came out from the kitchen, holding a large watermelon. "Dad picked this from the field. It's so sweet!"
...
Screech!
At the same time, an ultra-luxury Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance of a grand hotel in Haicheng.
The car door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties emerged. He was of average height, slightly stout, wearing a pair of wide-rimmed glasses, exuding a powerful aura.
Accompanying him were two young, beautiful women. They were tall and slender, dressed in form-fitting blue casual wear that accentuated their incredibly shapely figures, enough to make any man lose his senses at first sight.
Their appearances were almost identical to Tu Sanyan's.
Indeed, they were Tu Sanyan's two elder sisters, Tu Dayyan and Tu Eryyan.
Needless to say, the man was Tu Biao, a renowned winemaker from the Northeast.
As the three of them alighted from the car, Tu Sanyan rushed out of the hotel, greeting them, "Dad, Eldest Sister, Second Sister, you're here!"
Tu Biao nodded and said, "Sanyan, let's go inside and talk."
Tu Sanyan had booked a luxurious suite at the hotel, which, like an ordinary residence, had three bedrooms and a living room.
Inside the suite, with no other guests present, Tu Biao sat in the center of the sofa. Tu Sanyan poured a cup of tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
"Sanyan, have you investigated Cheng Xiaofan's situation?" Tu Biao asked, taking a sip of tea and frowning.
Tu Sanyan nodded and replied, "Yes, Dad. It's quite a coincidence. Uncle Lu was just transferred to head the Southern Jianghu Affairs Bureau, and I managed to find out the specifics through him."
"You're saying Lu Shengming was transferred to the South?" Tu Biao asked.
In the past, Lu Shengming and Tu Biao had interacted frequently. They were friends through hardship, like brothers, if not by blood.
Tu Sanyan said, "Yes. Apparently, Uncle Lu was transferred from the North to the South precisely because of Cheng Xiaofan!"
Tu Biao asked curiously, "Hmm, that's strange. Who exactly is this Cheng Xiaofan to attract the attention of the headquarters of the Jianghu Affairs Bureau?"
"If it weren't for the headquarters of the Jianghu Affairs Bureau stepping in, no department would have the authority to transfer someone of your Uncle Lu's standing!"
As they conversed, Tu Dayyan and Tu Eryyan listened attentively.
After all, due to what their father had proclaimed to the world years ago, the lifelong happiness and marital prospects of the three Tu sisters were at stake.
No one could be blamed for this; it was their father, relying on the potency of "Thousand Year Drunkenness," who had made such bold claims.
Who would have thought that a young man in this world could consume twelve jin of strong liquor?
Twelve jin of strong liquor – even twelve jin of plain water would be hard to swallow!
How could so much liquor not have killed that eccentric fellow?
At this point, Tu Sanyan said, "Fortunately, Uncle Lu, out of respect for you, Dad, told me that this Cheng Xiaofan is no simple figure. In the North, Long Xiaotian was able to defeat the Jiang family in one fell swoop precisely because he and his grandson, Long Xingyun, are disciples of Cheng Xiaofan!"
"What, this Cheng Xiaofan is the master of Long Xiaotian and his grandson?" Tu Biao's heart was thrown into a twelve-level storm.
Tu Sanyan nodded. "Dad, Uncle Lu sent me some videos of Cheng Xiaofan via his phone. I'll send them to you and Eldest Sister and Second Sister right away!"
"From these videos, you'll get a general idea of his situation!"
