Rustic Charm: The Doctor Immortal

Zheng Lin'en immediately stepped in front of Chen Dashan to stop him as soon as she heard about it.

She said earnestly, "No one has dared to climb to the top of Black Wood Mountain for so many years. The terrain is rugged, and there are many wild animals and venomous snakes. You just saved me. I can't watch you go to your death with my eyes wide open!"

Chen Dashan scratched his head. In the past, he wouldn't have dared to climb to the peak either. But now, after cultivating the Sun and Moon Technique, his physical fitness far surpassed that of ordinary people, and he felt confident about climbing to the peak.

After thinking it over, Chen Dashan leaped like a limber monkey onto a nearby two-meter-high boulder.

This move left Zheng Lin'en in shock, her cherry-like little mouth agape as she watched.

She couldn't believe Chen Dashan was so impressive and skillful.

"Lynn, I have trained. I won't do anything I'm not sure of. You don't need to worry,"

Chen Dashan said with a smile.

"I see you haven't harvested anything. Why don't you go to the peak with me? Maybe we'll discover something new."

"I can protect you."

Faced with Chen Dashan's invitation, Zheng Lin'en hesitated.

She thought for a moment and, almost against her better judgment, nodded and said, "Alright, I'll go to the peak with you."

First, she was dissatisfied with not collecting any herbs during this trip up the mountain.

Second, she was curious and had always intended to check the peak and see what the scenery was like.

Most importantly, being by Chen Dashan's side gave her a sense of security. Deep down, she felt reluctant to leave him.

Zheng Lin'en wasn't aware yet that the magnetic field generated by Chen Dashan's cultivation of the Sun and Moon Technique had already attracted her.

After they discussed it, the two of them set off toward the peak, carrying small bamboo baskets on their backs.

The mountain path was rugged, with steep slopes and dense vegetation.

Chen Dashan moved like the wind, thanks to the Sun and Moon Technique, while Zheng Lin'en struggled to keep up.

At one point, she tripped and nearly rolled down the slope.

Fortunately, Chen Dashan arrived in time to help her up.

"Thank you, Dashan, for saving me again,"

said Zheng Lin'en shyly, her slender waist still held by Chen Dashan, sending a tingly sensation through her.

Chen Dashan, considering that Zheng Lin'en couldn't keep up due to her lack of stamina, said decisively, "Lynn, let me carry you up."

Blushing, Zheng Lin'en bashfully nodded.

Chen Dashan carried her on his back, immediately feeling a soft and comfortable sensation against him, which made him shiver internally.

So soft, so comfortable. Zheng Lin'en's figure was impressive.

Moreover, the unique fragrance of a young girl filled his nose, leaving him intoxicated and perfectly at ease.

Zheng Lin'en tightened her hands around Chen Dashan, clinging to his back like an octopus.

"I'm holding on tight. Let's go, Dashan," Zheng Lin'en said.

"Okay."

Chen Dashan, utilizing the Sun and Moon Technique, quickly sped forward.

Along the way, due to the steep slopes and numerous small pits, stones, and tree obstacles, Chen Dashan often had to make large movements and occasionally leap.

This caused Zheng Lin'en to hold him tighter and tighter, pressing closer and closer.

The soft flesh of her chest kept bouncing, rubbing against Chen Dashan.

Zheng Lin'en's face grew increasingly red, reacting to the friction and the heat in her chest.

Being so close, she felt the masculine aura exuding from Chen Dashan and touched his strong body.

"Hu hu hu,"

Zheng Lin'en tried to stifle her moans but couldn't stop herself from panting, her breath hot on Chen Dashan's neck.

The soft sensation on his back, combined with the beauty's warm breath resting on his neck, made Chen Dashan feel as if he had ascended to a heavenly realm, floating with delight.

After about ten minutes,

Chen Dashan carried Zheng Lin'en to the peak.

The scenery was beautiful, with lush vegetation. Overlooking from the height, one could see the mountainous landscape.

"Wow, Dashan, look! There are so many astragalus plants there!"

Zheng Lin'en immediately recognized the wild astragalus plants not far away, along with many other wild medicinal herbs.

"This place is truly a treasure trove,"

Chen Dashan said excitedly.

The mountain was full of herbs, seemingly inexhaustible.

Over the years, no one had ever climbed to the peak, making this an unexplored land.

"Yes! I didn't expect there'd be so many herbs on the peak. Let's start harvesting,"

Zheng Lin'en said joyfully.

Soon, they took out small medicinal hoes and began to collect the herbs.

About twenty minutes later, they filled both of their small bamboo baskets.

One basket of astragalus, one of angelica dahurica, each around fifty pounds.

During the process, Chen Dashan also surprisingly found a wild ginseng plant and dug it out.

According to the medical knowledge handed down by the Sun and Moon Sect, he determined it was a fifteen-year-old wild ginseng, worth a fortune.

He discovered this treasure thanks to the subtle use of the Sun and Moon Technique, which allowed him to sense objects containing spiritual energy.

The Sun and Moon Technique also included an eye technique that, once activated, greatly enhanced his vision, allowing him to see a fly from a hundred meters away. As his cultivation increased in the future, it would even grant him x-ray vision.

Thus, the two of them, with their finds, made their way back down the mountain, with Chen Dashan carrying Zheng Lin'en on his back.

"Dashan, thank you so much for helping me today,"

Zheng Lin'en said shyly to Chen Dashan.

Chen Dashan scratched his head and said, "We're good friends, no need to be so polite,"

"Mm-hmm," Zheng Lin'en nodded obediently. "Dashan, next time when you're free, can you take me to Black Wood Mountain again?"

"Sure," Chen Dashan agreed with a nod.

Zheng Lin'en returned to Stone Village, while Chen Dashan took the village bus to the market in Longshan Town.

He arrived at the herbal market in the town and found the largest herb store, Mountain and Sea Herb Store.

"Boss, I'm here to sell herbs. This is a basket of angelica dahurica," Chen Dashan called out to the shop assistant as he entered the store.

The shop assistant came over, poured a cup of tea for Chen Dashan to drink, then took the basket of angelica dahurica to weigh and inspect each herb's quality.

"Young man, this basket of angelica is fifty-two pounds in total, and the quality is decent. We'll buy it at eighty yuan per pound, making it four thousand yuan. How about that?"

The shop assistant asked.

Chen Dashan thought it over and said, "Okay."

He had inquired about the market prices beforehand, and this offer was similar to the market rate, which he found reasonable.

After selling the angelica, Chen Dashan pulled a dirt-covered wild ginseng out of his pocket.

"Look at this, how much would your store offer for it?"

The shop assistant took a closer look at the ginseng Chen Dashan presented. It was much larger than regular ginseng and clearly a top-grade medicinal herb with some age to it.

"Brother, you have a treasure here," the shop assistant exclaimed. "Wait a moment, I'll get our boss. I can't make a decision on something this valuable."

Before long, the shop assistant brought down the owner of the store.

It was a middle-aged man, slightly overweight, dressed in a suit, with his hair slicked back.

"Young man, I'm Zhao Huayuan, the owner of Mountain and Sea Pharmacy. Let me have a closer look at your ginseng," the boss said with a smile.

Chen Dashan placed the wild ginseng on the table, and Zhao Huayuan picked it up to inspect it carefully, his eyes flashing with amazement.

"You've got good luck, young man, finding a wild ginseng that's nearly ten years old. I'll offer sixty thousand yuan for it, how about that?" Zhao Huayuan said cheerfully.

Zhao Huayuan estimated that Chen Dashan, dressed like a simple herb gatherer from a village, wasn't very knowledgeable.

If it weren't for a local lady boss aggressively buying wild ginseng lately, making the market prices transparent, he would have tried to acquire it for a few thousand yuan.

Chen Dashan didn't say a word and started to leave with the wild ginseng.

"Hey, young man, don't rush off! We can negotiate if the price isn't satisfactory!" Zhao Huayuan quickly called out to Chen Dashan.

Chen Dashan shook his head and said, "This is clearly a fifteen-year-old wild ginseng, yet you say it's less than ten years old. If you don't know what you're talking about, what's there to negotiate?"
