    The man called Chen Jiu slithered away. Based on Shopkeeper Lin’s reaction, this Chen Jiu was a repeat offender.


    When shopkeeper Lin came out and saw Lin Yun, he was pleasantly surprised. It meant that he would have new goods.


    He spent 380 taels on buying the tiger from Lin Yun, but he sold it for more than that. He earned around 100 taels in profit.


    Shopkeeper Lin smiled at Lin Yun and said, “Miss Lin, you’re here! Are you selling anything today?”


    Lin Yun looked at shopkeeper Lin’s sinister smile and secretly pouted. She thought internally, ‘What a sly fox. The attendant would have told him that I’ve bought wild ginseng this time.’


    Lin Yun smiled at the shopkeeper, “Shopkeeper Lin, how much do you think this ginseng can be sold for?” Lin Yun pointed at the ginseng wrapped in a piece of paper on the counter.


    When Shopkeeper Lin saw that the ginseng was wrapped in a piece of paper, his forehead immediately twitched. His face darkened, and he lectured, “How could you use a piece of paper to wrap around ginseng? What if you break one of the roots?” If the roots were damaged, it would ruin the ginseng’s value.


    As he spoke, he carefully opened the paper and held the content with both hands. Shopkeeper Lin was like an appraiser studying a piece of art. Since they valued art so much, they would get angry when they saw a piece damaged.


    After he ensured that the ginseng was in good condition, Shopkeeper Lin sighed in relief, and his expression softened.


    Lin Yun picked her ears and said innocently, “Shopkeeper Lin, why were you so anxious? I didn’t know this was ginseng. Or else, I would have packed it inside a wooden box!”


    Shopkeeper Lin red at Lin yun and said loudly, “do you think that a wooden box is good enough?”


    He almost shouted into Lin Yun’s ear. He hadpletely forgotten that Lin Yun was barely more than a child.


    Lin Yun pouted, looking even more innocent and aggrieved. She said, “shopkeeper Lin, stop shouting! I know I was wrong. ”


    After saying this, she went up and asked in a fawning tone, “Shopkeeper Lin, so how old is this ginseng? How much silver can I get for it?”


    Lin Yun had interacted with Shopkeeper Lin in the past. She knew that he wouldn’t scam his customers.


    Lin Yun knew the ginseng’s age, but she had her own purpose for asking these questions.


    Shopkeeper Lin started to examine the ginseng. He could determine the ginseng’s age from its stem, body, and whiskers.


    After a long while, shopkeeper Lin said excitedly, “This is 300-year-old ginseng. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen ginseng over 100 years old. Miss Lin, where did you get this ginseng from?”


    ‘Not bad. At least he didn’t lie about the age.’ The younger the ginseng, the lower the price. If Shopkeeper Lin wanted to get the ginseng at a lower price, he would lie and say that the ginseng was much younger than it actually was.


    But he did not.


    He told the truth.


    Lin Yun tilted her head and said, “I found it on Mount Da Ao.” Mount Da Ao was a famous forest mountain in Ning An Town. People didn’t dare to go there because it was extremely dangerous. This also meant that Mount Da Ao had many rare treasures. One could make a fortune from them.


    Shopkeeper Lin said thoughtfully, “So, it’s Mount Da Ao.”


    It was extremely dangerous for a young woman to enter Mount Da Ao. If one were not careful, one would trip and fall into a bottomless abyss. There were also ferocious beats that would eat humans.


    Shopkeeper Lin shouted angrily, “Are you that money-crazy? You ran up Mount Da Ao alone. Do you not want your life anymore?”
