Physician Yu picked up one of the roots and took a sniff. After a moment, he looked at her and asked, "Yao-shi, may I ask where you got these ginseng roots?"
Hearing this, Yao Zhi feigned surprise and asked him back, "Physician Yu, are you saying that these are ginseng roots?"
The old man nodded and continued, "The quality of these roots is very good. They are also thoroughly dried and well preserved. Judging from the size of these roots, the main root should be around 2,000 years old."
Yao Zhi's eyes flashed with genuine surprise. She was using these roots to test Physician Yu's skill and knowledge. She couldn't risk the safety of the medicine given to her husband.
She thought that he would recognize the roots but wouldn't be able to guess the age. Unexpectedly, he could estimate the age correctly.
Before, she had placed one ginseng into the auction slot just to check its age. These roots were taken from a 2,178-year-old ginseng growing in her system's grassland.
