319: Now comes the moment to witness a miracle.

Ginseng?!

This plant was actually ginseng?!

Everyone on site was silent!

Even Su Yu, hearing the name, was stunned on the spot, his mind unable to react for a moment.

The delicate, tender green leaves swayed in the wind, as if showcasing its slender and graceful form to the world.

This seemingly ordinary plant stem and leaves, was actually the legendary precious medicinal herb—ginseng?!

After a long while, some people in the crowd asked incredulously.

"Is this plant really ginseng?"

"I've only seen ginseng after it's been dug up. This is truly the first time I've seen it growing completely underground!"

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Doesn't ginseng usually grow in remote mountains and old forests? How could anyone get its seeds?"

The person who spoke earlier leaned closer, carefully examined it again, and then nodded definitively, answering,

"No mistake! This is ginseng!"

"And it’s not cultivated ginseng, but real wild mountain ginseng!"

No wonder the seed's growth and development were so slow. Other saplings had already flowered and fruited twice, while this small seedling had only just grown a single leaf.

However, if this plant was ginseng, then everything made sense and the reason could be explained.

Su Yu narrowed his eyes, and on the virtual VR screen in front of him, his Lackey pulled up information about ginseng's growth.

It wasn't that he hadn't used his Lackey to scan the seedling for identification before; it was just that at the time, the seedling had only just sprouted. Even if he had scanned it, the margin of error would have been very large, and he might not have been able to identify what it truly was.

The uncle who revealed the truth about the seed only spoke after the seedling's first leaf had fully grown out.

Coming back to his senses, Su Yu finally understood as he looked at the ginseng seed that continued its slow growth.

This was no longer strange!

Ginseng, a plant, naturally grows very slowly. According to online data, in its early growth stages, ginseng's age can be determined by the number of its leaves.

One leaf represents one year of growth for the ginseng, two leaves for two years, three for three, and so on.

And now, the ginseng leaf in the growth acceleration shed had already transformed from a tiny single leaf into one the size of a palm, with the second leaf visibly about to sprout and emerge.

In the live stream room.

Because the audience came from all over the world, many people, even after hearing the name 'ginseng,' didn't know what it actually was.

On the bullet screen, enthusiastic Huaxia netizens immediately began to popularize knowledge in the live stream room.

As people of Huaxia Country, ginseng is a household name!

Thousands of years of cultural heritage have also recorded this extremely rare and precious medicinal herb.

"Ginseng is known as the 'King of All Herbs' in our Huaxia Country! It is one of the famous Three Treasures of Northeast China!"

"It is a perennial herbaceous plant, mostly growing in mixed coniferous and broad-leaved forests on gentle slopes and hillsides at altitudes of about 500-1000 meters, where the diurnal temperature range is small."

"Because its roots are well-developed, spindle-shaped, and often branched, resembling a human form with hands and feet, it is named ginseng ( Ginseng, 'human root')!"

"Ginseng's medicinal value is determined by its age; the older it is, the more precious. Especially wild mountain ginseng, which needs to grow for more than fifteen years before it can be used medicinally. Wild mountain ginseng that is decades or even hundreds of years old is extremely rare and priceless!"

"Friends who have read Huaxia Country wuxia or xuanhuan novels will definitely know how precious this item is!"

"..."

After this introduction, even foreign friends who knew nothing about the plant were instantly filled with reverence.

A plant that can live for hundreds of years, and a single specimen can sell for tens or hundreds of thousands as a precious medicinal material! This is definitely not something ordinary people can come into contact with.

So, this tiny seed in front of him was actually a ginseng seed!?

He just didn't know what kind of ginseng was beneath this small leaf: forest ginseng? transplanted ginseng? cultivated ginseng? Or the most rare and valuable wild mountain ginseng?!

But no matter what kind of ginseng it was.

The Streamer's growth acceleration shed actually had an accelerating effect on it, which alone was astonishing news if it got out.

Narrowing his eyes, Su Yu watched as the ginseng's second leaf grew out, then the third, and the fourth.

On site, none of the onlookers were impatient enough to leave early.

Everyone stopped and waited patiently, hoping to see how many years this ginseng, capable of surviving for hundreds of years, would ultimately grow to.

Due to ginseng's slow growth, this observation period was exceptionally long.

Before they knew it, one hour, then two hours, had passed in a flash.

The ginseng leaf had grown from a tiny initial leaf into six complete large leaves! The entire market not only didn't disperse, but the crowd gathered around it grew larger and larger.

Subtly, the seed market stall was tightly surrounded by layers of people, three deep inside and three deep outside.

Everyone was witnessing such a miraculous scene for the first time and didn't want to miss the birth of this wonder with their own eyes.

Some people couldn't wait any longer midway and had to leave for personal matters. Before leaving, they specifically called relatives and friends to hold their spot, preventing it from being taken by others after they left.

The large-scale gathering of people at this location naturally alarmed local authorities and various media outlets.

Especially upon hearing that someone at the market could accelerate the growth of wild mountain ginseng, media reporters flocked to the scene, rushing to cover the news.

Even agricultural experts specifically hurried to the site by car to observe this unprecedented catalytic process.

In the center of the venue.

Su Yu had long grown tired of standing and sat down cross-legged on the ground.

He never expected that what he originally intended to be an exposé of the seed Peddler's true nature as a cunning merchant would turn into a live on-site acceleration experiment!

If he wasn't also very curious about how far his growth acceleration shed could ultimately catalyze the ginseng, he would have packed up and slipped away already.

Watching the ginseng seedling's growth speed in the growth acceleration shed become increasingly slow. From a speed visible to the naked eye at first, it now showed hardly any change after a quarter of an hour.

Su Yu knew that the growth acceleration shed's limit was fast approaching.

He glanced at the super soil on the ground.

At some point, the originally dark and fine sandy soil had faded in color, gradually turning into gray soil and white soil.

At this point, continuing to wait would no longer be very meaningful.

It seemed that the growth acceleration shed's catalysis also had an upper limit.

Su Yu stood up, patted the dust from his backside, and slowly walked towards the ginseng seedling.

This live stream today had taken up far too much time. So, next, it was finally time to witness a miracle!
