Ultimate Village Doctor-Chapter 308 - 337 Tang Family
Chapter Three Hundred and Thirty-Seven
Wang Sihai exclaimed in shock, "A Two-hundred-year-old Snow Lotus?"
He knew the value of Hundred-Year-Old Medicine better than anyone, and even he couldn’t obtain it; last time, he had to collaborate with Wei Zhentian and trick Bai Susu with a used fake medicinal material.
All of a sudden, hearing about Bai Susu auctioning off a Two-hundred-year-old medicine, his first reaction was disbelief.
"The medicinal material is on the table; go take a look for yourself," Long Xiaoshan said.
Wang Sihai hurriedly looked up, gave Bai Susu a flattering smile, and then turned his gaze to the table where a Snow Lotus was placed. His eyes narrowed as he walked over and took a careful look, although he didn’t have the expertise to determine its age.
But this Snow Lotus was obviously extraordinary, just smelling the fragrance it emitted made him feel refreshed and clear-headed.
"Is it really a Two-hundred-year-old medicine?" Wang Sihai asked.
"It’s being auctioned on behalf of Auntie Su; what do you think?" Long Xiaoshan responded.
"Then there must be no mistake," Wang Sihai immediately had no doubts once he heard it was Long Xiaoshan’s doing; he was all too aware of Long Xiaoshan’s capabilities, an existence akin to a Heavenly Being, it wouldn’t be strange for him to get a hold of Hundred-Year-Old Medicine.
"I am here to assign a task to you. I have entrusted this Snow Lotus to Auntie Su for auction, and the auction will be held at the Sihai Grand Hotel. I need you to take charge of the security issue for Bai’s company," Long Xiaoshan said.
Wang Sihai understood that such medicinal herbs appearing on the market could definitely fetch a sky-high price in the hundreds of millions.
And the older the medicinal material, the more precious it is.
Top-grade medicinal materials can resurrect the dead and mend bones, as well as being used for cultivation—coveted treasures by everyone.
In Hechuan City, Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company is the number one in the medicinal materials business, but it’s insignificant compared to the real big enterprises in the city, not to mention the province. Auctioning such medicinal material at Bai’s Medicinals is like letting an ordinary person flaunt gold Yuanbao in the streets.
Who knows what might happen then.
Thus, the presence of powerful individuals to protect the event is a must.
Long Xiaoshan said indifferently, "If you handle this matter well, I can make your eye see the light again."
Wang Sihai’s corpulent body shook, a glimmer of excitement flashing through. Last time he was here, Long Xiaoshan blinded one of his eyes, turning him into a one-eyed dragon. If he could regain his sight, that would be more than he could ask for.
"Brother Long, rest assured, I will do my utmost to help President Bai host a successful auction," Wang Sihai vowed, hesitated for a moment, then added, "However, I’m afraid that some powerful individuals might take action."
The powerful individuals Wang Sihai referred to were cultivators like Long Xiaoshan.
The last time at the arena, Wang Sihai witnessed what true power was.
In front of truly mighty forces, these big shots could only bow their heads in submission.
"If any Ancient Martial Artists or Spirit Practitioners occur, just inform me," Long Xiaoshan stated calmly.
"With Brother Long’s word, I’m reassured," Wang Sihai had no doubts about Long Xiaoshan’s strength; he’s the powerful person whom even guns could not kill.
After sitting for a while and discussing some specific measures,
Wang Sihai finally took his leave.
Bai Susu watched Wang Sihai depart and said, "Xiaoshan, how come he listens to you so obediently?"
"He’s afraid of dying," Long Xiaoshan laughed.
Bai Susu gave him a helpless look.
"Auntie Su, I would like to get some medicinal materials," Long Xiaoshan said.
"Hmm, I’ll have Fang Fang take you to the herb garden, while I handle the auction arrangements," Bai Susu said.
"Alright."
Fang Fang was Bai Susu’s secretary and was already very familiar with Long Xiaoshan.

She led Long Xiaoshan to the herb garden.
Meanwhile, Bai Susu started to contact colleagues in the Xichuan Province medicinal materials industry, releasing the news of the two-hundred-year-old Snow Lotus auction. Although Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company wasn’t top-tier within the province’s industry, it was still a longstanding company with many years of history, established since Bai Susu’s father’s generation, and had developed deep relationships within the provincial industry over time.
As soon as the news of the two-hundred-year-old Snow Lotus auction was released,
the entire medicinal materials market in the province was immediately abuzz.
The news spread rapidly like ripples caused by a stone thrown into calm waters.
Many were shocked and incredulous.
However, as more concrete information came out, the reputation of Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company still held its weight in gold.
More and more people realized this wasn’t baseless gossip.
Countless gazes turned toward Hechuan City, the most underdeveloped Earth Level city in Xichuan Province, which overnight became the focus of many powerful figures.
Tianfu City, the capital of Xichuan Province, had a population exceeding 15 million and was one of Hua Country’s ten ancient capitals.
Its prosperity was far beyond that of Hechuan City.
At that moment, on Tiandu Mountain on the outskirts of Tianfu City, the maple leaves covered the sky in a blaze of red after autumn had arrived, a uniquely beautiful scenery; but not a single tourist was on this spiritually beautiful mountain, as everyone in Xichuan Province knew that Tiandu Mountain was off-limits.
This area belonged to only one family, the foremost noble family of Xichuan Province, the Tang Family.
In the midst of the red maple forest lay an ancient and imposing manor.
Within the Tang Family Manor, a middle-aged man dressed in a purple Tang suit was sitting there, with a man dressed as a butler standing before him.
This was the current family head of the Tang Family, Tang Xun.

He took a puff from a smoking pipe, then spoke indifferently, "Two-hundred-year-old medicine, is it real or false?"
"Master, the news came from Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company in Hechuan City," the butler-like man said.
"The two major noble families in the provincial medicinal materials industry, Thousand Herb Hall and the Yizhenhu Family, can only bring out Hundred-Year-Old Medicines; the best they have is a ginseng of one hundred and thirty years, which is already the treasured reserve of Thousand Herb Hall. How can a small medicinal materials company from Hechuan City possess two-hundred-year-old medicine?" Tang Xun looked skeptical.
Hundred-Year-Old Medicine was too precious. For ordinary people, it could only be used for healing, but for Ancient Martial Artists, it was entirely different; Hundred-Year-Old Medicine could help a Huang Level Martial Artist rise a whole grade and even held significant benefits for a Mysterious Rank Warrior.
With the dominance of Ancient Martial Artists, as soon as such medicine appeared, they would nearly always find a way to secure it for themselves.
Even Thousand Herb Hall and the Yizhenhu Family, such powerful medicinal material noble families, could only keep one or two roots as their treasured reserves.
A mere medicinal materials company from Hechuan City that can put up two-hundred-year-old medicine and make such a big announcement was practically suicidal.
"Master, I have already investigated, and although Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company isn’t large, it is a reputable establishment with decades of history. Moreover, the owner of Bai’s Medicinal Materials personally notified colleagues in the provincial medicinal materials industry and confirmed the auction date. Unless Bai’s Medicinal Materials Company wishes to ruin its own reputation and close down, the likelihood of the news being wrong is very slim," the butler said.
Tang Xun narrowed his eyes and spoke with a strong and forceful tone.
"If the news is true, then we must secure this Snow Lotus for our Tang Family."
For the Tang Family, this Snow Lotus was very important. Their Grandmaster ancestor had suffered a severe injury, and the two-hundred-year-old Snow Lotus, if it couldn’t completely heal the injury, would definitely alleviate the condition.
"Yes," the butler paused and then added, "However, Master, the last time our Tang Family sent Tang Mo to Hechuan City, he died there."
