In Renxin Hall, the man with a mustache took a sip of tea with a happy expression, and then he saw a man dressed as a doctor walk in.

The man with the mustache quickly stopped the person who came, "Old Li, come over and take a look at my new harvest of Gastrodia elata."

When Old Li heard the sound, he looked over and saw a medicinal herb on the table.

"I just harvested a Gastrodia elata a few days ago, and now I have another one today?"

The man with the mustache laughed, "Hey, Lao Li, this one is different from the previous one. Come and take a look, I guarantee you'll be amazed."

Old Li also became interested. He walked over, picked up the piece of Gastrodia elata and examined it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the brighter Old Li's eyes became. "Shopkeeper Liu, this is incredible. Although this Gastrodia elata is only three years old, it must have been produced in a blessed place."

"Oh." The man with the mustache looked at Lao Li and asked, "Lao Li, is there any other explanation for this?"

Old Li nodded, picked up the Gastrodia elata and pointed it at the man with the mustache. "Shopkeeper Liu, look, this Gastrodia elata is plump, like a sweet potato, and its root system is numerous and dense, but there's only one problem."

"What's the problem?" asked the man with a mustache in confusion.

Old Li pointed at the roots and said, "Look, shopkeeper, a Gastrodia elata this big should have a lush root system that's deep underground."

The man with the mustache nodded.

Old Li continued, "But look at this piece of Gastrodia elata. The root system is numerous and lush, but the length of this root is wrong."

"This can only happen in a blessed land with sufficient nutrients, where Gastrodia elata can obtain nutrients without taking root underground."

The man with a mustache frowned, grabbed the Gastrodia elata and examined it. Sure enough, the longest white root was only half the length of his arm.

A huge wave surged in his heart, his face flushed a little, and he asked anxiously, "Old Li, are you saying that if we find that place, there might be a large area of Gastrodia elata!"

Old Li was a little embarrassed. "Manager Liu, I'm just guessing. Reality is so unpredictable, and it's very possible that it happened by chance."

"And even if someone really discovered such a place, they wouldn't tell us."

Hearing this, the man with the mustache laughed and said, "Old Li, I was just joking. There's no way there really is a blessed land or cave, haha."

"Okay, Lao Li, go get busy."

Old Li nodded and walked towards the backyard.

The man with the mustache stared at Lao Li's figure as it disappeared from his eyes, and the smile on his face immediately turned into an expressionless face.

He stared at the Gastrodia elata in his hand with a fiery look in his eyes.

Regardless of whether it was true or not, he was going to give it a try. Even if something happened, he was just a little beggar, and if he died, he died.

Having made up his mind, the man with the mustache stood up, but he looked at his clothes and seemed to remember something.

He came to the room in the backyard, changed into black clothes, and wore a hat on his head, covering most of his face.

The man with the mustache was finally satisfied. He looked at the back door again. There were still servants coming in and out, so he definitely couldn't go out openly.

However, the man with the mustache did not feel anxious at all. He pushed his feet against the ground and jumped onto the roof as if he had no weight.

He actually has such impressive martial arts skills!

The man with the moustache recalled the direction He Ling left, and his whole body seemed to turn into a monkey, constantly shuttling between the roofs.

He Ling was still at the stall selling buns. She ate three meat buns in one breath and couldn't eat anymore.

Although she still wanted to eat, her stomach was already full.

He Ling had been starving for years, and her stomach had long since shrunk.

She sighed, asked the boss to pack up the leftover buns, and asked for five more buns to be packed together.

The boss was grinning from ear to ear, as He Ling's sales were at least half a day's sales for him.

I went to the rice shop and bought two pounds of rice. The price of rice was four cents per pound, which was not expensive.

He Ling originally wanted to buy more at one time, but considering her fragile body, she had no choice but to buy only two kilograms.

I went to the butcher and asked the price of meat, which was twenty-one cents per pound.

He Ling calculated that one pound of meat could buy about five pounds of rice. Even He Ling, a nouveau riche, felt a little heartbroken, but in the end He Ling couldn't help it and bought a pound of meat.

Finally, he looked at his beggar's clothes again, thought about it, and decided to go to the cloth shop and buy a piece of cloth.

In this era, ready-made clothes were generally not sold. People would buy cloth and cut and sew them themselves.

Of course, He Ling herself doesn't know how to do it, so she plans to ask Aunt Zhao to help her sew a piece of clothing.

When He Ling left the market, her hands were already full of things.

With a smile on her face, He Ling walked towards the thatched cottage, facing the setting sun.

The thatched cottage is not close to the town, but it is not far away either.

After walking for a while, we saw a forest and walked through the forest to reach the thatched house.

As soon as she stepped into the woods, she saw a figure in front of her.

He Ling's heart skipped a beat. She glanced ahead. The man was dressed in black and had a hat covering most of his face. He Ling couldn't see clearly what he looked like.

The man in black stood there with his back to He Ling, not saying a word. He Ling lowered her head and tried to walk around him.

The moment He Ling approached, the man in black suddenly attacked. He was going to punch He Ling, but changed his gesture in the middle, from punching to pushing, and pushed He Ling three meters away.

He Ling fell to the ground with a thud, and the things he bought were scattered all over the place. The cloth bag was broken and a piece of white rice spilled out. The piece of pork tenderloin he bought also rolled to the ground, covered with a lot of dirt.

This scene made He Ling's eyes blaze with anger, but she immediately endured it.

The man in black said, "Little girl, where did you pick the hemp? Tell me the location and I will let you go."

"Otherwise, humph............."

The man in black was full of threats.

He Ling seemed to be genuinely frightened at this moment. She curled up into a ball and said in a trembling voice, "This... my dear hero, I was just lucky to have picked up a Gastrodia elata plant. Even if I take you there, there won't be any Gastrodia elata there."

The man in black sneered, "Don't try to fool me. The hemp plant is so big, but its rhizome is so short. It's obviously grown in a blessed place. You'd better tell me the truth, or I have plenty of ways to make you talk."

When He Ling heard this, she realized what went wrong. At first, she just wanted to ensure the integrity of the Gastrodia elata as much as possible, but she didn't expect that she would end up hurting herself.

However, it was useless to regret at this moment. He Ling started thinking about what to say next.

The man in black was overjoyed when he saw that He Ling stopped talking. He was not sure whether He Ling had found any blessed land, so he just wanted to trick her. He didn't expect that there really was something there.
