Back For My Daughter

1228 Buy My Herbs!

The man was, of course, no one other than Ye Qian.

After the strange accident on a heavy rainy day after being hit by the rich and thrown into the mountain, Ye Qian found himself being plunged by a sword that was stabbed right within his abdomen.

While there was blood constantly oozing out of his stomach the sword that logged into his abdomen didn't hurt even a small bit.

And after that, it had been more than a month.

Coming here was not something that he could have ever expected.

And even less was to still be alive.

But living meant that there was still hope that he would have a chance to meet his family once again.

But as he got to know things of this world, he knew that it was quite hard for him to reach the point where he would have the ability to meet his family.

But still, those words rang in his ears.

The ones that he heard through his soul when he was in utter despair with the thought that his baby was about to enter the world and he was not there to greet her.

And that was the only thing that he could cling onto, if not then he would have already died tens of times already.

And even right now, every moment he saw someone being there with their child would make him feel a deep pain in his heart.

After not knowing how much time he would need if he wanted to go back to his baby.

He had heard that even the strongest people in the city were nothing but mere ants in front of the real power.

And that power was definitely not because of someone's background or the money they might have.

It was true raw power that came from cultivation.

He even heard that there were some people in this world who had strength enough to shatter a whole mountain with just a single punch from them.

This was not a power that he had ever thought would truly exist.

In fact, there have been various legends and myths on earth about such people as well.

But he was not sure whether those people might have been the ones who had cultivated or not.

As of now, his only goal was to save money as soon as possible even if he would not be able to have good enough meals and still get a cultivation method so that he could start practising.

As he walked ahead, his sight landed on a small herb shop.

It was not too big compared to the others, but nonetheless, it was still enough and he could see that the shop seemed to be doing pretty well since there were numerous people who stood by the shop.

As Ye Qian walked close, he noticed that the shop looked really old.

As in the state of at least 100 or so years old.

"Sir, if you want to look for the ginseng then I will give you my whole confidence that you won't get any older than I have."

Ye Qian heard an elderly voice full of confidence.

"Old man, this will be just too much, all I need is a 50-year-old purple ginseng, won't the power of a 100-year-old ginseng be too much for me to handle?"

The customer asked.

"Haha, let me tell you this, purple ginseng is not like any normal ginseng that would hard you if you are not able to assimilate its power, in fact, unlike blood ginseng or coral ginseng, which might easily harm you if you are not able to assimilate it's power within your body."

The owner laughed while showing the three different types of ginseng that he had just spoken about.

Ye Qian was also just a meter away and could catch a glimpse.

The blood ginseng was deep red in colour almost as if it had been kept to soak in blood for a few days, as for the coral ginseng, just like how a coral would look, it also had various calcinated formations on its body and seemed like it really was a coral that had been taken out of an ocean.

But the thing was, there was no ocean even around a million kilometres far from this land.

During his stay, Ye Qian also got to know that just this kingdom that this Thiru city belonged to, the kingdom itself spanned a few hundred thousand kilometres.

And then it was grouped into provinces and then further into territories which were further divided into regions and finally came the cities.

And all in all, it was a pretty big world.

Just a kingdom was at the very least two times bigger than even the biggest country on Earth.

As for what was bigger than a kingdom itself.

It was an Empire.

Ye Qian could not dare think what scale it would reach if one wanted to measure.

Meanwhile, the shop owner continued.

"The Blood Ginseng's had very concentrated power and is very masculine, so it would not only be hard to assimilate but also extremely difficult to even take advantage of its berserk ability to nourish your own body."

"As for Purple ginseng, it is feminine, and its power is very gentle, if there is still quite a lot of remaining power even after you are done assimilating it, the power will only continue to nourish your body."

"Alright, give that to me."

The customer nodded and picked up the ginseng the moment he heard that the purple ginseng would continue nourishing his body.

"Here, it's yours."

The owner grinned while taking the money.

Meanwhile, Ye Qian walked to him.

"Sir, I have brought some herbs, if you have the time, can you buy them right now."

"Ohh, herbs?"

The owner was busy counting the copper coins when he heard Ye Qian.

And hearing that there was someone who had come here to sell herbs, his brows raised and he turned to Ye Qian.

But as he saw Ye Qian's condition, he couldn't help but frown.

"Young man, your condition doesn't look good."
