Eternal Sword

Chapter 18 My Husband is Dead (Please Collect and Read)
Li Junqing added: "Of course, copper skin is only a defensive power, with stronger resistance to blows, but it does not mean that it can block strong bows and crossbows. Warriors of the same level holding spears and sharp blades can still stab you."

Chen Tang nodded.

Cultivating copper skin will certainly enhance defense, but the power of a ninth-grade warrior is also very great, and the explosive lethality cannot be compared with that of an ordinary person.

Not to mention copper skin, even if it was real bronze armor, a ninth-rank warrior holding a spear and stabbing with all his strength could probably pierce it!

Chen Tang was still somewhat confused.

In just over two months, he had already cultivated to the ninth level?
In addition to Tiger Milk and Subduing Tiger Fist, the wild ginseng he had been eating for the past month might have also played a significant role.

There is also ginseng and monkey wine made by the mountain guests.

Chen Tang suddenly asked, "You said you came to Sanqian Snow Ridge to collect ginseng before. What kind of ginseng is it?"

“Ginseng.”

Li Junqing said: "Generally, wild ginseng under 100 years old is relatively common and is called human ginseng. Wild ginseng over 100 years old is called ground ginseng."

"The older the age, the higher the quality. This time, I heard that someone found an 800-year-old top-quality ginseng in the Three Thousand Snow Ridges, so I found some hunters to go into the Snow Ridges with me. I didn't expect that they had been bribed."

Chen Tang didn't understand these statements about wild ginseng.

He directly took out a wild ginseng from his arms, handed it to him and asked, "Take a look, what kind of ginseng is this?"

Li Junqing took the ginseng and looked at it carefully from top to bottom and from left to right. His face gradually changed and a look of disbelief emerged.

"This, this, this is top-grade ginseng!"

Li Junqing's voice began to tremble slightly.

Chen Tang asked, "How old is the top-grade ginseng?"

Li Junqing said quickly: "Nine hundred years. Only ginsengs that are more than nine hundred years old can be called top-grade ginsengs!"

Wild ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum are all spiritual creatures nurtured by heaven and earth. Most of them cannot survive this long before being collected by humans or eaten by birds and beasts.

There might even be powerful exotic beasts guarding the ancient ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum!

Therefore, the older the ginseng is, the more precious it is, and the more medicinal power it contains.

"It was a waste of my time eating before."

Chen Tang muttered.

On the snowy mountain, he almost ate this thing as a cucumber, taking a bite every day...

Later, when he got some ginseng and monkey wine, he stopped chewing on it and just put a ginseng in his arms.

By the way, the guest in the mountain said that the wild ginseng soaked in monkey wine is better than the best ground ginseng!
Chen Tang's mind moved, and he asked, "Is there something better than this top-grade ground ginseng called heavenly ginseng?"

Li Junqing said: "Ginseng that is more than a thousand years old is called heavenly ginseng. A thousand years old, this kind of thing is hard to come by, it is a priceless treasure, how can ordinary people come across it."

Chen Tang nodded.

It seems that it was the tiger milk, top-grade ginseng, and monkey wine, which were all very nutritious, combined with the practice of the Tiger Subduing Fist, that allowed him to reach the 'Bronze Skin' level.

Li Junqing's gaze always stayed on the top-grade ginseng in his hand, as if he had obtained a treasure, and his eyes revealed a deep desire.

Chen Tang asked, "What do you want this ginseng for? Why did you risk coming to the Three Thousand Snow Ridge?"

Hearing this, Li Junqing's eyes dimmed and he whispered, "My father has been ill for many years. I heard that top-quality ginseng can nourish the body, so I thought of picking one for him."

He was willing to take risks to treat his father's illness.

Just now, in order to help him, she risked her life and almost died. This woman can be said to be loyal and righteous.

Seeing her sad and pitiful appearance, Chen Tang hesitated for a moment and said, "How about I give this ginseng to you?"

It is written in the book about his previous life that when Guo Jing met Huang Rong for the first time, he gave her this and that, treated her to a meal, and even gave her the little red horse. In the end, he really got her a wife.

Of course, there are plenty of ginseng on the snowy mountains, just like cabbages, so he wouldn't feel bad about giving it away.

What's more, he has Tianshen Monkey Wine, so he doesn't need Dishen.

"really?"

Li Junqing's body trembled slightly. She raised her head with an excited look on her face. Her breathing became a little rapid. She said in a trembling voice: "Are you really willing to give me this top-quality ginseng? I, I, no, I can't accept it..."

Li Junqing was so excited that he was a little incoherent. He shook his head and said, "This ginseng is too valuable. It will cost at least several thousand taels of silver, or even tens of thousands of taels. But I, I don't have that much money. You just saved me, how can I repay you..."

Chen Tang was startled.

Is this thing worth ten thousand taels of silver?

He didn't pay attention to what Li Junqing said later. Chen Tang reached out and took back the top-grade ginseng, saying, "It's really too valuable. I can't give it to you."

Li Junqing: “…”

I was just excited for nothing.

Li Junqing was almost crying because of Chen Tang's move.

After gaining it and losing it again, a huge sense of loss came over me.

But then, Li Junqing changed her mind and realized that she shouldn't have the desire for such a valuable thing.

If it were her, she would never give away thousands or tens of thousands of taels of silver casually.

What's more, the two of them just met by chance.

"Li Junqing, Li Junqing, I am your lifesaver. How can you ask for too much? You should repay me."

Li Junqing thought to himself and gradually calmed down.

Although she thought so, she still couldn't bear to let it go. She didn't look away until Chen Tang put the top-quality ginseng back into his arms.

Chen Tang also noticed Li Junqing's reluctant look.

He just laughed in his heart and pretended not to know.

Chen Tang looked up at the sky and asked, "It's getting dark, can you still go?"

In fact, Li Junqing had severe ankle pain.

But she still pursed her lips and nodded.

Under Chen Tang's gaze, Li Junqing took a deep breath, endured the severe pain, and stood up shakily.

Chen Tang sighed softly.

I don’t know what this girl has been through, but she is so tough and strong-willed. Even though she was badly injured, she refused to ask for help.

Chen Tang shook his head, broke off a branch from the side, cut off the surrounding branches, and handed it to Li Junqing as a walking stick.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Li Jun thanked him lightly, then limped behind Chen Tang and walked down the mountain.

"Looking at the way you're dressed, you should be married, right?"

On the way, Chen Tang was curious and asked.

After the disaster they had just experienced, there was no distance between them and they started chatting casually.

In ancient times, it was very common for girls to get married in their teens.

"Ah."

Li Jun nodded slightly and responded.

Chen Tang heard that her tone was not right and she was in a low mood, so he looked back.

Li Jun lowered his head slightly, avoiding Chen Tang's gaze, as if he had something to hide.

"Her husband is not a good person. He actually let her run to a dangerous place like Three Thousand Snow Ridge by herself, and she almost lost her life."

Chen Tang thought to himself.

Of course, he was just thinking about this in his mind; once he said it out loud, it took on a different meaning and sounded like a provocation.

"Where do you live?"

Chen Tang asked, "I'll have someone notify you when the time comes, and I won't send you back, to avoid any misunderstanding."

"That's nothing."

Li Junqing suddenly said: "My husband died a long time ago."

Chen Tang was slightly stunned and shook his head secretly.

She is so beautiful and in her prime, but she is still a widow. It's really pitiful.

The world in this world is different from the past. If a widow remarries, she will be under tremendous pressure and will inevitably attract a lot of criticism.
