Chapter 49

Over the past couple of days, Wang Yong hadn't seen Wang Gang or received any calls from him. It was as if the guy had vanished. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear. Wang Gang's call finally came.

"Wang Yong! I've finally completed my mission! Your tiger talisman has been bought by Mr. Niu, who runs a private museum. It fetched a full thirty million! This is after tax, as Mr. Niu has already paid it for you. Your Da Qi Tong Bao, which was supposed to be auctioned in the fall, was somehow discovered by Mr. Li from Hong Kong. He bought it for twenty million. You've just become a fifty million man!" Wang Gang said all this in one breath.

"Alright, you did a great job. I'm planning to treat you well. Come over for dinner tonight," Wang Yong said, very pleased. Now his funding gap was completely covered.

"Give me your bank account number first, so I can transfer the money to you!" Wang Gang said anxiously on the other end of the phone.

"Alright, I'll hang up and send you the account number via text message."

Wang Yong hung up and sent his account number to Wang Gang via text. He tidied up and left his uncle's house.

Wang Qian and Yuan Yuan had gone shopping somewhere. Wang Yong walked out of the residential area, and now his access card was ready. He no longer had to worry about being stopped at the gate. The security measures here were indeed very strict, but it was unlikely that there would be armed police guards in a high-end residential area, right?

Leaving the residential area, Wang Yong turned right and drove for no more than twenty minutes to a large farmers' market. He parked his car and paid two yuan for parking. Then he walked in.

Wang Yong planned to go home the next day, so he wanted to cook a meal for his uncle's family tonight as a thank you. He had mentioned this to his aunt the night before. There were so many things to take care of at home, and Wang Yong was really worried. Besides, he couldn't just enjoy himself outside while his uncle and aunt did all the work for him.

Wang Yong bypassed the vegetable section and headed straight for the meat section. In the small world, there were all kinds of vegetables, much better than those outside. The vegetables that the small world didn't have were those that Wang Yong had never seen or knew how to cook. Why buy them?

As he was walking, Wang Yong suddenly noticed something he had been thinking about for a long time at a stall. He immediately stopped and walked over. There were no customers in front of the stall, and a young man in his twenties was playing with his phone behind it.

"Boss, how much are these ginseng roots?" Wang Yong asked.

"Twenty for the big ones, ten for the small ones," the young man replied without looking up.

Wang Yong had long wanted to plant some ginseng in the small world. Whether for sale or personal use, the produce from the small world was absolutely different from artificially cultivated ones outside, and might even be better than wild ones. However, in his hometown of Gangcheng, Wang Yong had never found such fresh ginseng. All he could find were dried ones, and many were even cut into slices. He didn't expect to find fresh ginseng just by walking into a farmers' market in the capital.

Wang Yong deliberately picked many small ginseng roots. These little guys, if planted in the small world, would grow up there from the beginning, and their quality should be better. Besides, no matter how you looked at it, these small ginseng roots were better than the big, fat ones that looked like radishes. Those big ones indeed made people think of radishes.

Wang Yong picked ten roots and paid with a red bill. The young man took the money, checked its authenticity, and put it in the bill validator. As the machine said, "This is a genuine note," the young man smiled. He gave Wang Yong a food bag to put the ten ginseng roots in and even added an extra small one, saying it was a buy-ten-get-one-free deal.

Wang Yong carried the extra small ginseng root and continued on. Actually, if you were familiar with ginseng, you would immediately notice that these weren't really small ginseng roots but rather ginseng seedlings, which are generally less than three years old. However, Wang Yong's luck was quite good. Among the ten he picked, one was identified by Little Light as a wild ginseng seedling. Although Wang Yong didn't show any unusual reaction, he was actually overjoyed inside.

After buying all the ingredients he needed, Wang Yong returned to the parking lot with a bunch of food bags. He deliberately put the bag with the ginseng in the passenger seat and threw the other bags into the trunk.

Driving back home, the house was empty, and no one had returned yet. He took all the ingredients to the kitchen and also took out a lot of vegetables from the small world. Then he washed, cut, and marinated the ingredients as needed. After preparing all the ingredients, Wang Yong took the eleven ginseng roots to his bedroom and eagerly entered the small world.

Inside the small world, there was no sign of the late autumn decay seen outside. Everywhere was lush and green. As soon as Wang Yong entered, the two little sika deer eating grass on the lawn ran over, their clear big eyes looking adorably at Wang Yong. They soon came to Wang Yong's side, rubbing against him and calling out, probably greeting him.

Wang Yong patted the heads of the two little guys and let them play on their own. He still had to prepare dinner, so he needed to plant the ginseng quickly. Ginseng usually grows in the forest on mountains, according to Wang Yong's understanding, so he decided to plant the ginseng on the mountain.

He didn't know what environment ginseng should grow in, but with the small world, he didn't have to worry about whether they would survive. However, to be safe, he planted the eleven ginseng roots in eleven different places. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If one place wasn't suitable for ginseng, there were still ten other places. One of them would surely be suitable.

After planting the ginseng in the small world, it didn't take long for them to visibly take root and sprout, growing leaves. They were alive! Wang Yong couldn't help but marvel at the small world's magic. Although these were fresh ginseng roots, they had been out of the ground for a long time. Yet, in the small world, they still took root and sprouted, and they looked healthy.

Because the eleven ginseng roots had successfully taken root, the small world expanded again, and it grew much larger than Wang Yong had imagined. The central mountain was now towering into the clouds, and its height was impossible to estimate. Around it, many new peaks had emerged, forming the outline of a mountain range that Wang Yong had expected. These new mountains were not barren but covered with various trees and flowers, making the entire mountain range lush and green.

The peaches on the peach tree were even bigger, but Wang Yong, who had a fear of sourness, didn't have the courage to pick one and taste it.

The grassland was even more vast, and lakes were scattered throughout. Fish occasionally leaped out of the water, and water birds swooped down to catch them. The golden eggs had all hatched into chicks, which were happily foraging and playing on the grass with their parents, who might or might not be their biological parents. The sky was filled with the loud calls of birds, making the little chicks envious as they flapped their wings, trying to fly, but they couldn't get very high.

A hundred-meter-wide river wound its way from the mountains to the distant sea. The river's flow was sometimes rapid, sometimes calm, sometimes surging forward, and sometimes flowing quietly. The banks were covered with tall wild grass and reeds, making them lush and green and providing excellent shelters for small animals. Occasionally, a bird or a rabbit would dart out of the grass to drink and play by the river.

The vast sea, stretching as far as the eye could see, was home to various species that Wang Yong had released. Some had already started to reproduce. A few abalones and shells moved slowly on the seabed, while several small yellow fish swam quickly, startling them into retreating into their shells. A group of mackerel swam in formation, constantly changing their formation. Two small sharks suddenly appeared, causing the fish to scatter and then regroup. A foot-long lobster and a palm-sized prawn swam leisurely on the seabed. Suddenly, a flatfish darted out, biting the tail of a prawn and dragging it toward a nearby coral reef.

Hmm! A strange feeling told Wang Yong that a large cave had appeared on the central mountain in the small world. With a thought, he appeared inside the cave. A dense aura of spiritual energy hit him, making every cell in his body feel invigorated. The source of this spiritual energy was a pool of emerald-green liquid, like the finest emerald, at the deepest part of the cave. The information in his mind told him that this was life water with miraculous effects. It could make withered trees sprout again, accelerate the growth of plants and animals, heal various injuries and illnesses, and even extend life. Long-term consumption might even lead to immortality.

Looking at the small pool of life water, no more than twenty centimeters long and wide and five centimeters deep, Wang Yong was deeply moved. Wasn't this the legendary elixir of immortality? However, as the owner of the small world, this life water had little use for Wang Yong. He had already been transformed and strengthened, making him vastly different from ordinary humans. In a sense, he was already a cultivator, and he didn't need to practice hard. As long as the creatures in the small world didn't go extinct, Wang Yong could be considered immortal. This information had just appeared in his mind.

After learning about the miraculous effects of the life water, Wang Yong was eager to go home and give it to his grandparents, uncles, and aunts, who were getting older. For now, he would let his uncle's family benefit first.

Wang Yong left the small world and returned to the kitchen. He filled a basin with water and added a drop of life water. He would use this water for tonight's dinner. His uncle and aunt were usually busy with work, so their health wasn't great. This would be a good opportunity to improve their health and make them more energetic.

After a whole afternoon of effort, the dinner made with vegetables from the small world and the life water received unanimous praise. After dinner, the effects of the life water began to show. The most obvious was that everyone was full of energy and showed no signs of fatigue even at eleven o'clock at night.
