Chapter 63: Meeting Without Recognizing

Ji Yanting was like a soul that had been extracted, lifeless.

 He let Ji Yuanming help him into the car.

Ji Yuanming looked at Ji Yanting with a worried expression and instructed the driver in front, “Go to Huayitang.”

His father was in this state. He was really worried. He had to go to Huayitang and have a look.

In Huayitang, Mr. Yang was organizing the medicinal herbs that Ling Yao had ordered.

Hearing someone coming in, he turned his head and saw Ji Yuanming. A smile immediately appeared on his face as he greeted him,

 “Comrade Ji! What brings you to Yuncheng?”

“My father’s not feeling well. Could you take a look at him?” Ji Yuanming helped Ji Yanting sit down on a chair nearby.

“Okay.” Mr. Yang handed the list to his apprentice, “Check it carefully. Don’t make any mistakes.”

 Now, he and Ling Yao were partners. He was fully responsible for the medicinal herbs of Longteng Pharmaceutical.

He walked to Ji Yanting’s side, “Let me take your pulse first.”

Ji Yuanming placed Ji Yanting’s hand on the pulse cushion on the table.

Mr. Yang reached out and felt Ji Yanting’s wrist. A moment later, he withdrew his hand, “He has a heart-attacking stagnation.

I’ll prescribe some medicine for him to go back and adjust. Of course, the most important thing is to make him happy.”

“I understand. Thank you, Mr. Yang!”

Mr. Yang shook his head and smiled. He walked to the counter and started to prepare the medicine for Ji Yanting.

“Mr. Yang! Do you still have ginseng here?” Ji Yuanming wanted to buy another ginseng root.

The last ginseng had worked so well. If there was any, he would buy another one and keep it at home in case of emergencies.

“No. That kind of ginseng is rare. I was lucky to get it.” Thinking of the ginseng, Mr. Yang felt a pang of heartache.

 If he hadn’t promised Ji Yuanming, he wouldn’t have been willing to sell such good ginseng to him.

After receiving the medicine from Mr. Yang, Ji Yuanming helped Ji Yanting out of Huayitang.

As they stepped out of the pharmacy, they brushed shoulders with Ling Yao, who was walking in.

Ji Yanting suddenly felt a pang in his heart. He stopped and turned to look at Ling Yao’s back.

Why did he feel an urge to get closer to this girl? He felt a sense of familiarity, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Ling Yao also felt the gaze behind her. She turned her head and saw the two people who had just brushed past her.

“Dad! What are you looking at?” Ji Yuanming also turned his head and saw Ling Yao. He recognized her immediately.

 He had met Ling Yao twice when he came to Yuncheng last time. He didn’t expect to meet her again.

He nodded and smiled at Ling Yao.

Ling Yao smiled back and looked away, walking towards Mr. Yang.

“Do you know her?” Ji Yanting looked at Ji Yuanming in confusion. It must have been his imagination.

 He must have missed his wife and daughter too much.

That’s why he thought the girl looked a little like Xuemei, especially her eyes.

How good it would be if it were true. Unfortunately, Xuemei and his daughter… He would never see them again in this life.

Thinking of them, Ji Yanting’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red again.

“I met her when I came to Yuncheng last time.”

Ji Yanting looked at Ling Yao’s direction again and walked towards the parking lot.

“Mr. Yang!” Ling Yao walked up to Mr. Yang.

“You’re here. The medicine is all ready. Do you want to check it?” Mr. Yang smiled and pointed to the medicinal herbs being loaded into the car.

Ling Yao shook her head with a smile, “I trust Mr. Yang’s work.”

There were people in the factory responsible for checking the medicinal herbs.

Besides, she also trusted Mr. Yang’s character. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have partnered with him.

“I’m here today to talk to Mr. Yang about a collaboration.”

Mr. Yang raised his eyebrows with interest, “Then let’s go inside and talk.”

“Okay.” Ling Yao nodded and followed Mr. Yang.

After they sat down, Ling Yao got straight to the point, “I want to invest in a medicinal herb base.

Are you interested in joining, Mr. Yang?” As the factory’s production continued to increase, medicinal herbs were now in short supply.

 If their factory had its own herb base, they wouldn’t have to worry about this problem anymore.

She had already found a suitable location. She planned to buy the mountain behind Hongqi Village and use it to cultivate medicinal herbs.

In this way, the villagers would also have a job.

She had enough funds to invest in the herb base.

The reason why she asked Mr. Yang if he wanted to join was because he had helped them when their factory was in crisis.

She naturally wanted to repay him for his kindness.

Mr. Yang thought for a moment and shook his head with a smile, “I won’t participate in this.”

 He was old and didn’t want to do too much. Besides, he knew that Ling Yao didn’t need his investment with her capabilities.

 This was Ling Yao’s way of repaying him. But her kindness was enough.

Ling Yao took a ginseng root wrapped in newspaper from her bag and handed it to Mr. Yang, “Mr. Yang! This is for you. I dug it up when I was inspecting the mountain.”

This ginseng was a hundred-year-old wild ginseng from her space. She had many of these in her space, and she usually used them to refine pills.

She knew that the ginseng she had sold to Mr. Yang last time had been sold by him. Mr. Yang had been longing for another one.

Mr. Yang took the newspaper and slowly opened it. He saw that it contained a ginseng root. The ginseng had complete roots, each one like white jade.

 The main body was like a chubby baby, and the head was round and full. It was clearly a top-grade ginseng.

“This… This is a hundred-year-old wild ginseng? How much is this ginseng? Can you sell it to me?”

Mr. Yang’s hands trembled with excitement. He couldn’t believe he had another chance to see a ginseng of this quality.

Ling Yao smiled, “Mr. Yang, you like it. This ginseng is a gift for you.”

Mr. Yang shook his head repeatedly, “That’s not possible. This ginseng is too precious. I can’t accept it.”

“Mr. Yang, don’t be so polite. If it weren’t for your help, the factory wouldn’t have been able to get through the crisis so quickly. It’s only right that I give you a ginseng root.”

“But it’s too precious.” Mr. Yang couldn’t accept such a valuable gift.

“Mr. Yang, if you’re polite with me again, I’ll be angry.” Ling Yao deliberately put on a stern face.

“Alright, I’ll accept it. Thank you!” Mr. Yang looked at the ginseng in his hand, his heart filled with emotion.

He knew the value of this ginseng and Ling Yao’s intentions. He decided to keep this ginseng well.

As if he had thought of something, Mr. Yang stood up, “Wait for me.”

Mr. Yang quickly walked to the safe, knelt down, opened it, took out a rectangular box, and walked to Ling Yao, “Ling Yao, this is for you. I hope you can use it to save more people.”

Ling Yao took the box and opened it. Inside was a set of golden needles. The entire set of needles emitted a golden light, clearly not ordinary.

“Is this the Taiyi Needle?” She had seen this set of needles at her master’s place in her previous life. Later, her master passed this set of needles to her.

 Her master told her that this set of needles was passed down to him by his master. Besides him, his junior brother also had a set.

“How do you know this set of needles is the Taiyi Needle?” Mr. Yang looked at Ling Yao in surprise.

“Mr. Yang! Do you know Gu Qianyue?”
