Chapter 14
One should know that even a typical hundred-year ginseng root would cost above three to five million. A 300-year-old ginseng root would be even rarer.
To ordinary folks, ginseng was, of course, a life-saving medicine. Many a time, it could even prolong the life of someone on their deathbed.
That was also why many moguls desired wild ginseng that had grown for a substantial number of years.
To warriors, a King of Ginseng like this is also a treasure that could not be easily bought with money alone. The surging medicinal effects could help them in their breakthrough.
Lin Sheng thought that if he could have a root of the King of Ginseng like that, and reduce it into a bowl of medicine using his sect’s secret recipe, he was confident that he could go a step further and break into the level of a Baodan Grandmaster.
After all, a warrior’s cultivation was reliant, mainly because of the practitioner’s robustness and vigor, especially in the earlier stages. As the saying goes, the fist-fighter fears the young and brawny. Even a fist master with decades of experience may succumb under a ruthless beating by a hardy young man.
Therefore, the higher warrior levels one broke through, the brighter their future in terms of strength progression.
The other party was shameless in their underhanded methods. A project worth over ten billion dollars was enough to push people in a killing spree.
Other than hiring Lin Sheng as his bodyguard, he had wanted to hire a bodyguard for his daughter Ling Fei. As his son was still young, it was still all right to keep him at home for the time being.
However, his daughter was all grown up. She could not possibly hide from everyone else.
That was why he turned his eyes to Lu Xuan. Before they met, he had sent someone to investigate him. Lu Xuan’s family background was clean and straightforward, and he was a man of enormous evilness. Judging from how he was willing to save Ling Fei and Ling Yu, one could tell that he still had some kindness in his heart.
3He didn’t think much of it at first. Before he met Lu Xuan, he assumed that he would at most be on par with Lin Sheng and that he could easily hire him with money.
However, their meeting had shattered that belief. Lu Xuan being on par with Lin Sheng? The joke’s on him for it would be more accurate to call Lu Xuan on par with Lin Sheng’s master. He never imagined that he would be so close to a martial arts legend, one of the top league Grandmasters of the nation.
The difficulty of convincing such as person to be his daughter’s bodyguard shot up. The other party may even take his offer as a humiliation.
“Of course, if you agree to this, Mr. Lu, you can list out any conditions that you’d like us to fulfill.” Ling Huang quickly added in haste.
Lu Xuan paused for a moment, before saying his condition, word by word:
“A hundred thousand!”
“Per day!”
