I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Mr. Zhang, Miss Hong Yi asked me to find out if this time it's your friend who wants a thousand-year-old ginseng?" "That's right," Qin Feng hurried to say. "How many thousands of years would you like?" "Cough cough cough!" Qin Feng coughed vigorously again. To ask such a question, aren't you afraid others will curse you for being pretentious? "Uncle Zhong, let's go have a look now!" "Okay, Mr. Zhang, everyone, please this way." Uncle Zhong led them directly toward the depths of the herbal field. "Mr. Zhang, we have grown three types of ginseng here, which were cultivated a long time ago. These varieties have a high content of ginsenosides, and their antioxidant capacity gets stronger as they age," Uncle Zhong explained as they walked. "Does this kind of ginseng really have life-extending effects?" Zhang Menglong asked. "Ginsengs under 500 years don't really have a stable effect," Zhong Zesheng said. "Mr. Zhang, I am in charge of the research here, and I understand this better than my grandfather. "According to our current research data, ginsengs that are 500 to 1000 years old can reduce the oxidation rate of human cells by about 1% to 2%, which can extend the life of a healthy person by about a year." "What about ginsengs that are 5000 years old?" Qin Feng pressed. "Depending on the different physical constitutions of people, they can generally prolong life by 5 to 8 years. Of course, only the first-time consumption is effective, and if taken a second time, it will only have health-preserving benefits." "We're here!" Zhong Zesheng pointed to a huge fertile area. "This is the planting area for the ginsengs, the soil here is also a high-nutrient mix that we have formulated based on our research, each square meter costs about 270,000 Huaxia currency." "270,000 per square meter?" Even Wang Ling, who had seen countless great scenes, couldn't keep calm at this moment. This dozens of square kilometers of soil, it's simply an astronomical figure! "Is this all ginseng?" Zhang Menglong squatted down, dug casually in the soil, and quickly found a piece of ginseng. "Holy shit! It's this long?" Zhang Menglong pulled it out of the soil, and the root was actually over a meter long! "Dammit!" Qin Feng slapped Zhang Menglong's hand. "Do you have any common sense? Do you think this is like pulling up radishes? How many roots do you break off with such pulling?" Qin Feng looked distressedly at the severed roots. "With such a long root system, it must be at least two or three hundred years old, right?" "Yes," Zhong Zesheng said with a smile, "The ginseng in this area was cultivated since the late Qing Dynasty, roughly two to three hundred years, not many—just over thirteen thousand." "Over thirteen thousand?" Ordinary ginsengs that are two to three hundred years old could easily sell for millions, and these have been genetically optimized. Just these alone, could they be worth tens of billions of Huaxia currency? "How many ginsengs are there in total here?" Zhang Menglong continued to ask. "We have around 50,000 that are under 500 years old, but the largest quantity is the 500 to 1000-year-olds, about 120,000. Of the 1000 to 2000, 2000 to 3000, and 3000 to 4000-year-olds, there are roughly 20,000 each; 10,000 are between 4000 to 5000 years old, and over 40,000 that are more than 5000 years old." "Over 40,000 that are more than 5000 years old? How much money is that worth?" Zhang Menglong simply couldn't imagine the value of the ginsengs planted here. "The ones over 5000 years old are the first batch planted here when your ancestors were quite interested in cultivating medicinal herbs, so the quantity of that batch was large. Initially, there were over 200,000 plants, it's only a pity that the geological changes 1200 years ago directly damaged more than half of them." "That hurts!" Zhang Menglong held his heart. 150,000 ginsengs over 5000 years old—that's truly a sin. "Old Zhang, your family is too awesome. With these things, are you trying to cultivate into immortals?" Aside from amazement, Qin Feng had no other way to express his shock. In fact, Qin Feng was half right; although Super God Academy had an even more amazing herbal field, getting things out of there would require a price. That's why Zhang Menglong's ancestors began cultivating on their own, integrating the properties of those herbs into the ones here using genetic engineering. The ingredients for the elixirs that the Zhang Family is currently refining actually come from this herb field, speaking of cultivation, it does quite fit the bill indeed. "Go ahead and help yourself, take a few pounds more, it's no problem at all!" Zhang Menglong said generously, when it came to his friends, he was definitely not stingy. "Much appreciated!" Qin Feng was immediately overjoyed, his family's old patriarch was already 100 years old, and at that age, no one knew when his time would come. If there was a way to let him enjoy a few more years of twilight life, the Qin Family would be willing to pay any price. "Ze Sheng, go get him some hemp bags!" "Hemp bags? Do you really think we're pulling up carrots?" Qin Feng opened his backpack and took out an intricately made wooden box that could surprisingly be opened and folded, clearly he had come well-prepared. Qin Feng rolled up the legs of his pants and ran straight into the depths of the ginseng field like an enthusiastic harvester. "Old Zhang, can I..." Wang Ling immediately came over with a sly grin on his face. "Uncle Zhong, grab a few for my friend here, we'll take them with us when we leave." "Certainly, Mr. Zhang." "Anything else?" Zhang Menglong asked, "Something more special." "Yes," Zhong Ze Sheng said, "there's a kind of Autumn Cloud Stalk extinct for over 1,800 years with anti-cancer properties. It can't cure cancer, but it works many times better than chemotherapy to effectively inhibit the spread of cancer cells, at least stabilizing the disease. With regular consumption, cancer patients can live a normal life until their natural death." "Awesome!" Zhang Menglong exclaimed, if this stuff was available on the market, those wealthy cancer patients would probably spend their entire fortunes on it. "There's also the Dragon Yang Sunflower, its fruit has aphrodisiac effects, good for treating male diseases and enhancing male function." "What do you want this stuff for?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously, "Why do I feel like your research institute doesn't seem very serious?" "Well..." Zhong Ze Sheng scratched his head, "this was something your great-grandfather... he had a hobby, which was beauties. He liked to change his companion nearly every night, so, you understand..." "Damn! I have an old lecherous ancestor like that?" .... "Achoo!" In a world where Dou Qi was rampant, someone who looked almost identical to Zhang Menglong suddenly sneezed. "Damn, who's cursing me?" "Zhang Moname, if you're going to kill me, just do it. What's the point of tying me up? Even if you're a Dou Saint, I will never bow down to you!" Zhang Moname immediately showed a sleazy smile, "Queen Medusa, why reject me from a distance? I have here a Heaven Rank cultivation technique called Yin Yang Harmony, with which if we cultivate together, we can quickly break through to Dou Di..." "Dream on, do you think there's no one in this world who can deal with you? Dou Saint is not the peak of this world!" "Are you talking about Dou Di? Oh, right, just yesterday I beat up someone from Emperor Huntian, and I've already thrown him into Super God Academy, his wife is now on my bed." ... "Old Zhang!" Wang Ling quietly pulled Zhang Menglong aside, "Could I get some of that stuff for myself? A friend of mine, he's a bit incapable, asked me to keep an eye out for this type of medicine, I..." "Oh, I get it," Zhang Menglong glanced at Wang Ling's lower half, "your friend needs it, I know!"
