The long tendrils of the ginseng had all broken, leaving only a thick and long main body. The main body was soil yellow, with deep and dense grooves, and clusters of broken short tendrils.
Even Chen Afu, who did not understand ginseng, could tell this was an old ginseng, but could not tell how old it was.
Marquis Chu was also astonished when he saw the ginseng. He said, "Afu, you've got another treasure. I have seen thousand-year ginseng, and none of them were this thick or had this many grooves. This ginseng is undoubtedly several thousand years old, if not ten thousand. Although its tendrils were broken and it does not look good, its medicinal properties still exist. Once it is properly prepared, it can save lives."
The old man was overjoyed. His daughter-in-law got another treasure. She truly led a charmed life.
