A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 90 Immortal Ginger

Wu Cheng was among these people. He didn't care much about these few small fish. He helped Guo Si Di and Lao Er sign up. Of course, the money was paid by Lu Dongxuan.

Lu Dongxuan also signed up. She didn't care about the money. To her, the money belonged to the Lu family and came very easily, so she wouldn't cherish it.

After paying the registration fee, Wu Cheng and the others went to select the medicinal eggs.

As gifts for registration, these medicinal eggs weren't very valuable, probably only worth about the ticket price. But no one cared; they just considered them a lucky charm. Some people didn't even choose one and just took it and left.

Wu Cheng, on the other hand, was quite cautious.

Although this is just a small profit offered by the drug gambling den, the real big money comes from participating in the betting or buying medicine eggs to gamble. However, Wu Cheng and his group have the medicine-hunting rat Jerry. They wonder if it can find a powerful and precious medicine.

Guo Sidi hid Jerry in his sleeve. When he reached for the medicine egg, he would pick it out if Jerry reacted, and if Jerry didn't move, he would switch to another one.

He helped everyone pick out four medicine eggs, but instead of distributing them, he said, "Since none of you know how to open them, let me open them for you in a bit. Let's exchange these for some money so we can buy bigger ones."

Guo Sidi is quite reliable. Wu Cheng didn't object, the second brother doesn't know anything, so he naturally had nothing to say. Lu Dongxuan also knows that she has no say, so she didn't say anything either.

Guo Sidi took the four medicine eggs to the workbench where they were opened. The workbench was filled with all sorts of tools.

From small carving knives for micro-carving to large axes and chisels.

Guo Sidi picked up a medium-sized carving knife and began to carve, showing the demeanor of taking his time to create a fine piece of work.

Wu Cheng found it intriguing and went closer to take a look.

He discovered that opening medicine eggs was not simple; it required skill, especially with such small eggs, as you didn't know the shape of the precious medicine inside or where it was hidden.

At the same time, although this medicine egg is made of mud, it is as hard as an ordinary stone.

If you don't have some skill, you probably won't even be able to remove the outer shell.

Guo Sidi was quite experienced, probably having spent a lot of money in this drug gambling den. His carving knife flew, quickly chipping away the shell of the drug egg. Then he stopped, carefully observing the patterns on the egg. He stared at the egg for a long time before finally starting to work.

Soon, something resembling ginger was extracted from the medicine egg.

Guo Sidi carefully brushed off the remaining dirt from the ginger, excitedly held it in his palm, and examined it closely. Then he burst into laughter: "A divine ginger! I've actually found a divine ginger!"

As soon as they heard the words "Immortal Ginger," everyone gathered around.

Some people even immediately offered a price: "Five hundred small yellow croakers."

Upon hearing his offer, someone immediately interrupted, "You think you can buy this piece of divine ginger for five hundred small yellow croakers? Go to sleep."

"A thousand small yellow croakers."

"I'll offer 1,500."

These people all made their bids.

Wu Cheng was completely bewildered. He didn't know what this "divine ginger" was used for, or why it was so valuable.

Of course, this is a precious medicine, and it's a precious medicine that was extracted from a medicinal egg.

Compared to precious medicines obtained from nature, the items that hatch from the medicinal egg are over 300 years old, starting from the time of the Nine Origin Starfall, so their price is naturally much higher.

Guo Sidi was quite pleased with himself. He had previously unearthed a piece of golden stamen, and now he had unearthed a piece of divine ginger.

It's quite lucky that someone could find two precious medicines.

Just as Wu Cheng was about to ask Guo Sidi what this "divine ginger" was for, a voice suddenly said in a sarcastic tone, "You've all misjudged it. This isn't divine ginger; it's demon ginger."

“True divine ginger has a small peach-shaped protrusion on the second segment, while demon ginger has an eye-shaped protrusion.”

Wu Cheng looked at the person who was speaking. The person was an old man whom he did not recognize, but he recognized the young man next to him. He was the young man who ran the stall.

I guess they've come looking for revenge.

That's why he said such discouraging things right off the bat.

He said, "What do you know? If you know so much, why don't you come up with any solutions?"

The old man ignored Wu Cheng and instead looked at the crowd: "Don't waste your money. Divine ginger is used to treat the rare cold blood disease. Moreover, it can be used to practice cold-type martial arts or to enhance one's qi and blood to a higher level."

"But the Demon Ginger is exactly the opposite. It is cold in nature. Taking it will cause a person's blood and qi to stagnate. A second piece of Demon Ginger is needed to counteract this. Only by taking two pieces of Demon Ginger together can a person's blood and qi change, generate strength, and reach the level of a martial artist."

After listening to the old man's eloquent explanation, those who had been bidding up prices fell silent.

Demon ginger is indeed better than immortal ginger, because immortal ginger can only strengthen a person's qi and blood, while demon ginger can turn a martial arts apprentice into a martial artist.

However, a single piece of Demon Ginger is indeed worthless; consuming it alone will only cause one's blood to congeal and die.

Seeing that everyone had stopped bidding, Wu Cheng became even more indignant: "Who exactly are you? Why do you think you can call him Demon Ginger just because you say so?"

The old man, however, held his head high and said, "Although I am not as famous as Master Duan Sisheng, I still have some reputation in the medicine world when it comes to the Medicine Demon Hua Sanqian."

Wu Cheng had never heard of any of them, but Guo Sidi had heard of the Medicine Demon's reputation. He sighed and said, "Alright, disciple, there's no need to argue with him. Although the Medicine Demon Hua Sanqian is not a very good person, he wouldn't lie about the names of his medicines."

Hua Sanqian was also extremely proud: "That's right. I can lie to you about other things, I can lie to heaven, earth, and even my ancestors, but I will never lie to anyone about medicinal herbs. That's my principle, Hua Sanqian."

Wu Cheng curled his lips. Although he knew that if they really fought, Hua 3,100 would not be as good as Guo Sidi, this was a gambling game about medicine. The real test was in the medicine.

This made Wu Cheng quite frustrated. He had no expertise in medicinal herbs, and although Guo Sidi had some expertise, he was not a master.

What could have been a valuable medicinal herb worth tens of millions is now worthless and unwanted. He regrets it now. Why didn't he sell it sooner? He could have made less money and avoided losing the precious herb that was inside the herb.

However, he couldn't back down, and he stubbornly insisted, "So what if that's the case? Didn't you say you wanted two pieces? If I cut this devil ginger in half, then I'll have two pieces of devil ginger, right?"
