Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 125 Golden Ginseng

The news of Song Changming killing a military general was blocked at various levels in the local area due to its bad influence, and it eventually did not spread to too many people.

Chief Gao died quietly on the night he had chosen. No one remembered there was such a general with a minor title, and the "Blood-Stinging Spear" disappeared from the world of martial arts from then on.

In contrast, it was the fact that Song Changming was dismissed from his post and was no longer a patrol guard that attracted a lot of discussion among the underworld and ordinary people.

Over the years, ever since Song Changming became famous in the county, his rise has been highly tied to his official status as a patrol guard.

If you were to ask which patrol officer in the county city is young, promising, highly skilled in martial arts, and the most sought-after, most people who know him would definitely mention the name 'Dragon Blade'.

Many people even compared Song Changming to the evildoer in the county town.

Because of Song Changming's past outstanding achievements in arresting criminals, those wanted criminals are terrified and afraid to show up in public.

It is precisely because Song Changming is well-known as a patrol guard that he has been dismissed that more people are talking about him.

There are all kinds of rumors in the city.

Some say that Song Changming was suppressed by his superiors because he was too outstanding, while others say that Song Changming was young and hot-tempered and offended some important figures, which led to the end of his official career.

Some even said that this important figure was the fifth prince, who dismissed Song Changming out of jealousy because he could not stand his handsome appearance.
Some storytellers in the market seized upon this hot news and compiled Song Changming's various deeds into stories, telling them vividly.

Some people heard these stories, spread them around, and believed them to be true.

So there were many different opinions, and the more they talked, the more outrageous and fantastic they became.
When Song Changming heard some of the strange statements, he just thought they were interesting and did not bother to clarify anything.

Until after the New Year, winter passed and spring came.

That day, Jinxiu Street, Liu’s residence.

"The function of fog gold is indeed not limited to summoning fog beasts. In fact, consuming the spiritual energy of fog gold just to summon fog beasts is a waste in my opinion. Its true value does not lie in this."

Liu Dingsheng listened to Song Changming's question and answered it.

"The greatest value of fog gold is to be used for cultivation above the ninth realm. It's a little early for you. You will understand it when you reach the extreme realm."

Song Changming thought thoughtfully, "That is to say, this mist gold is still an excellent resource for cultivation."

"That's what I mean." Liu Dingsheng said as he moved the chessboard and placed it on the stone table in the yard.

Now that winter is over and the warmth of spring is emerging, it is a good time to bask in the sun outside.

It is really unacceptable to play a few games of chess without feeling comfortable.

"Is it easy to obtain this fog gold? The government does not allow others to privately hoard fog gold. This is considered a serious crime." Song Changming asked again.

Hearing this, Liu Dingsheng smiled and said, "It is a serious crime, but at the level above the extreme realm, as long as you don't use the fog gold to create a large number of fog beasts to harm others, the government can't control you.

Warriors of that strength have more freedom than you think, and have some special rights.

As for the difficulty of obtaining fog gold, it can be said to be difficult and easy at the same time.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the main source of fog gold comes from outside the country. It is very dangerous there and anyone who goes there may not come back. Moreover, the mining of fog gold also involves a great deal of luck. It is very likely that one will gamble his life and get nothing in the end.

The simplicity is that if you have money, you don’t need to go abroad to dig for it yourself. Money talks. You can just spend a lot of money to buy it. As long as you have a channel to get it, you can buy it. "

"So, this fog gold is very valuable?" Song Changming asked.

"Of course it is valuable, but hoarding fog gold is nominally against the law, and there is no clear market price." Liu Dingsheng nodded.

Song Changming thought about it for a moment, and then asked directly: "Senior, do you have any way to buy and sell fog gold?"

"Oh?" Liu Dingsheng was a little surprised, then suddenly thought of something and smiled meaningfully.

"I heard that you got a piece of mist gold and handed it over to the government a few years ago. You are asking about this today. Could it be that..."

Outsiders may not know the details of what happened that night, but Liu Dingsheng is a well-informed person. Even if Song Changming did not mention what happened that night, he would know most of it.

Song Changming smiled, which was considered as his agreement.

"Good boy, you look different now that you take off your official uniform." Liu Dingsheng just found it interesting.

Having talked about this point, Song Changming no longer hid anything and simply took out a small box, which contained the mist gold.

Of the two gold coins found on Chief Gao's body, he only handed over one to the government, and has kept the remaining one until now.

He waited until the storm was over before bringing it to Liu Dingsheng.

Hoarding mist gold is a serious crime. Keeping it in hand is of no use to Song Changming now.

Normally he couldn't use it to summon fog beasts for fun. After all, not only did it require a large amount of blood and energy, but once this thing was discovered, he would be rewarded, and his peaceful days would be over.

Moreover, the combat power of the fog beast may be extremely powerful to others, but to Song Changming, the fog beast is not that useful.

If he encounters a powerful enemy that he cannot deal with in the future, even if he summons a fog beast, it is highly likely that he will not be able to change the situation. Therefore, instead of keeping it in his hands, he might as well ask Liu Dingsheng about the market price. If he can exchange it for money, it will be a good deal for him.

Liu Dingsheng picked up the golden mist gold that had not yet been stained with blood, looked at it carefully, and nodded.

“Yes, the spiritual energy in it has not been consumed much, so it can be sold at a high price.

If you keep it on you for a long time, even if you don't use it, the spirituality of the mist gold will be worn away little by little over time. By then, it will be worthless and just a piece of hot metal."

After reading it, Liu Dingsheng put it back into the box and sealed it, which could to a certain extent isolate the spiritual energy inside from dissipating.

"It's not difficult to help you sell it. I can guarantee that such a piece of money can be sold for fifty Han gold. If the market is good and you meet a buyer in urgent need, you can sell it for several percent higher." Liu Dingsheng said frankly.

The fact that Song Changming came to him for help in this matter was enough to show his trust in him.

And he was willing to help.

Although Song Changming has lost his official status now, what he valued in Song Changming was never his identity as the chief patrol officer.

But it is Song Changming's personal martial arts strength.

We are on good terms with each other now and have good relationships with each other. Maybe there will be a time in the future when we can ask Song Changming for help.

"This small piece is so expensive." Song Changming said with some surprise.

The Han gold mentioned by Liu Dingsheng is a more valuable currency than the Dahan silver, and the exchange rate is also quite stable.

It is usually circulated only among the upper class nobles, so it is also called aristocratic currency.

Basically, one Han gold is equivalent to one hundred silver coins.

Fifty Han gold is equivalent to five thousand silver coins.

A hundred-year-old wild ginseng was sold for less than a thousand silver coins, but Song Changming already felt that it was a robbery.

And this tiny piece of mist gold can actually be sold for five thousand silver coins, which is enough to be worth five hundred-year-old ginsengs.

This mist gold is basically the most valuable thing Song Changming has ever seen.

“It’s not that expensive. This stuff is a scarce commodity. People who want it are usually the truly powerful ones who don’t lack this little bit of gold.

And this mainly depends on the spiritual energy in the mist gold. If the spiritual energy is thin, it can't be sold at this price." Liu Dingsheng said, he has long been accustomed to this.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, senior." Song Changming thanked him and agreed to the deal.

"Haha, if you want to thank me, then play a few more games with me today." Liu Dingsheng said with a smile.

"I will make sure that you enjoy yourself."

About half a month later.

Liu Dingsheng sent someone to Song's house and handed over a medicine box and a purse.

"This is what Lord Liu ordered me to hand over to Brother Song." Liu Ziwen said.

When Song Changming saw the medicine box, his eyes lit up immediately and he asked hurriedly, "Is it the 300-year-old mountain ginseng?"

"Lord Liu has already asked someone to verify it. To be precise, it is a 350-year-old golden ginseng!
Ginseng of this quality is rare even in the north." Liu Ziwen said, looking at the medicine box with a bit of envy in his eyes.

He also majored in bone strengthening, and this kind of precious medicine also had a great effect on his body training, which made him salivate for a while.

This is something that anyone with money can buy. Even Liu Dingsheng happened to find out about this plant by chance.

"Golden Ginseng! It's actually Golden Ginseng!" Song Changming was also very excited after hearing it.

When a crack was opened in the medicine box, a fresh scent of grass and trees immediately dissipated.

Just getting close and smelling it makes you feel relaxed and happy.

After it was fully opened, a golden ginseng was quietly lying inside the medicine box. It was about three fingers thick and the length of chopsticks, with roots intertwined and quite dense.

Under the sunlight, the golden layer on the surface of the ginseng looks like a fluid coating, sparkling and shimmering. It is because of this unusual feature that it is called golden ginseng.

He has been eating wild ginseng for many years to practice martial arts, and has also done some research on it.

It is known that among all the wild ginseng varieties, the Golden Ginseng is definitely a well-known existence and can be regarded as the king of ginseng.

And this 350-year-old golden ginseng is even more precious.

At this moment, Song Changming was like a person who was used to eating coarse food and suddenly saw delicacies from land and sea and felt very excited.

I have never seen such a precious medicine.
