Chapter: 587

Shi Tianzhi had already walked into the room behind Jize Hall when he heard Wei Lian's voice and let out a sigh.

This illegitimate child of Wei family has interacted with me several times, making me feel that he indeed has some education and is well-mannered.

Moreover, Shi Tianzhi genuinely felt that Wei Lian was in a predicament at the Wei house that deserved sympathy.

So, when he heard Wei Lian's words, his heart also stirred with a bit of pity.

As a result, he took a few steps out and saw that only Wei Lian was left kneeling at the entrance, so he said to him: "Come with me."

"Thank you, God Doctor Shi!" Wei Lian was overjoyed and quickly got up, following Shi Tianzhi into the back hall.

When he entered the back hall, Wei Lian immediately pulled out a small, intricately crafted wooden box from his bosom and opened it, revealing a white, snow-white person-shaped ginseng.

He carefully presented the ginseng to Shi Tianzhi's face and said, "Shi God Doctor, this is my mother's thousand-year-old ginseng, which she left for me. It's her treasured possession, passed down through our family for generations. I know you respect Master Ye Chengye, so I'd like to offer this ginseng to Master Ye and ask him to intervene, rescue the Wei family from calamity!"

Shi Tianzhi stared at the seemingly ordinary-looking ginseng in astonishment.

It's really a thousand-year-old ginseng!

I've only seen descriptions of this in ancient medical texts. I once thought it didn't exist; even if it did, it would be no more than 100 years old.

This ginseng may not have reached its full length yet, but it has already developed a semi-transparent appearance, which is due to being lacquered. Normally, ginseng doesn't become so transparent, and this level of transparency must mean it's extremely old!

This made Shi Tianzhi conclude that the ginseng was almost certainly thousand-year-old.

He couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Is this... really yours? How did you come to possess such a precious medicinal material?"

Wei Lian nodded solemnly, saying, "Shi God Doctor, I won't hide it from you. My mother was born and raised on Long White Mountain, followed my grandfather, and our ancestors all gathered herbs there. This thousand-year-old ginseng has been passed down through our family for generations."

As Wei Lian spoke, he added: "When my father Wei Yongzheng first started his herbal business, he would often go to Long White Mountain to collect herbs. He pretended to be single and deceived my mother, who was then pregnant with me. After I was born, he just left without a word, and I grew up under the shadow of Long White Mountain......"

"He always worried about me being alone and helpless when his time came to an end. So, he contacted my grandfather, who felt that as a Wei family member, I couldn't be abandoned outside. He ordered my father to bring me back to the Wei household."

"When my mother was on her deathbed, she left this ginseng for me and told me to keep it safe at all times, in case of unexpected needs. Now that the Wei family is facing a calamity, if Master Ye would be willing to lend a helping hand, I'm willing to offer this thousand-year-old ginseng to Master Ye!"

Schiz was stunned into silence.

He only knew that Wei Lian was an illegitimate child, but didn't know about the story behind it.

To Wei Lian, these words were something he had never told anyone in his lifetime. Schiz was the first one.

From a young age to adulthood, Wei Lian suffered from others' scorn and disdain, as well as physical and emotional abuse.

He grew up accustomed to being belittled and beaten by his father, Wei Yongzheng, and older brother, Wei Changming.

He had been patient, waiting for the day when he could find a suitable opportunity to break free from this dark and desolate situation.

As fate would have it, the Wei family was facing a crisis, and Wei Yongzheng also announced that whoever could resolve this crisis would become the chairman of Wei Pharmaceutical. Therefore, he took out the century-old snowgrass that he had kept hidden for twenty years and offered it to exchange for his own peace of mind. JrNovels.com
