320: Oh no, I accidentally grew a 30-year-old wild ginseng!
Su Yu's movement to stand up immediately attracted everyone's attention.
The crowd present and the audience watching the Streamer immediately realized that after waiting for so long, the moment to reveal the true face of the ginseng had finally arrived.
Everyone, including Su Yu, did not know what quality of ginseng was buried under the accelerated soil.
If it was common cultivated ginseng that could be grown artificially, then the value of the growth acceleration shed would not be as great as imagined. But if even rare wild ginseng could be ripened at such a speed...
Then the preciousness of this technology would be self-evident!
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Su Yu knelt down next to the ginseng seedling and then began to prepare to pull out the ginseng.
Actually, according to professionals, digging ginseng has another name—lifting ginseng!
And lifting ginseng has a very strict set of rules.
If ginseng is not lifted according to the proper procedures, it can easily be damaged, with its most important roots destroyed during excavation.
It's important to know that the value of ginseng lies entirely in its root system; every inch, every centimeter is its essence! Each requires years, even decades, of growth.
Once damaged, the value of the ginseng will be greatly reduced.
Su Yu was not a professional, nor did he understand the techniques of lifting ginseng, and there were no handy tools on site.
So he could only use the simplest and most crude method to pull this ginseng directly out of the ground.
Yes!
Pull it out by the roots!
Holding the stem of the ginseng seedling with one hand, Su Yu first tentatively tugged at it, but perhaps because the ginseng's roots were deeply embedded in the ground, he couldn't pull it out directly at once.
Seeing this, Su Yu had to change his strategy. He first dug at the area where the roots met the ground with his hands, breaking up some of the hard soil, and then made a second attempt!
“Pfft”
A soft sound came.
This time, Su Yu suddenly felt his right hand loosen, and the next moment, he smoothly pulled the entire ginseng plant directly out from underground, roots and all! Soil-covered roots, large and small, scattered everywhere!
In the live broadcast room, the professional Changbai Mountain ginseng lifters who saw this scene felt a sudden darkness before their eyes, nearly fainting.
No?! A priceless ginseng was just directly pulled out like that?!
Isn't this a waste of natural resources?!
Especially when they saw that what was pulled out was the most precious wild ginseng, at that moment, everyone felt such heartache that they couldn't breathe!
Ruined! Such a good thing was just ruined like that!!
At this moment, they wished they could fly to Su Yu's side immediately to help him handle the aftermath.
However, this was clearly unrealistic.
They were not Su Yu, nor did they have nano battle armor, so it was naturally impossible for them to instantly cross a thousand miles to the country of sticks.
Moreover, the wild ginseng had already been pulled out from underground by Su Yu, so going there now would be futile.
Everyone looked intently, the wild ginseng's roots were intertwined and gnarled. A thick main root branched into seven or eight thinner roots, spreading out like an octopus.
Looking closer, it was also spectacular, like a peacock spreading its tail.
The roots spread, with the longest part reaching an astonishing ninety centimeters! The stem was over ten centimeters long! Thick and strong!
This indicated that the wild ginseng was at least thirty years old!
If the root section damaged by Su Yu's violent pulling was included, the length of this wild ginseng would easily exceed one meter!
It was a genuine top-grade specimen!
“Seven taels for ginseng, eight taels for treasure, nine taels for rarity! The Streamer's wild ginseng is estimated to weigh at least eight taels! It might even reach over a catty (one jin)!!”
“Heavens!! Is this really wild ginseng?! The Streamer actually managed to cultivate wild ginseng?!”
“So beautiful! So beautiful!! Is this the supreme herbal medicine of China? It's simply a work of art crafted by nature's ingenuity.”
“Does anyone know how old this wild ginseng is? And to what extent can the Streamer’s growth acceleration shed catalyze plants?”
“Looking at its size, without thirty years of time, wild ginseng simply couldn't grow to this scale.”
“So, in just these short three hours, the growth acceleration shed directly catalyzed the plant by thirty years?!”
The live broadcast room completely erupted!
It should be known that this was Su Yu's first global live broadcast!
Although everyone had already expected that he might bring out some of his ultimate skills for a live demonstration, looking at this, it was probably no longer just his ultimate skills; it was his coffin-bottom skills!
There was once a myth in China that one day in heaven was one year on Earth.
The time flow difference between the two was an unimaginable chasm. But at this moment, what Su Yu displayed before everyone's eyes was even more astonishing!
Three hours of planting was equivalent to thirty years!!
This seemed to be beyond what science could achieve; this was simply immortal magic!
In the center of the market.
Su Yu, holding the thirty-year-old wild ginseng, was also at a loss.
Through the online popular science introduction from his Lackey, he also learned that this wild ginseng was already thirty years old.
Huh? No!
He just wanted to test the true limits of this growth acceleration shed, how did he accidentally produce a thirty-year-old wild ginseng?!
Oh right, how much is a thirty-year-old wild ginseng worth?
As Su Yu pondered the value of the ginseng in his hand, he looked up and saw that the surrounding crowd was also gaping, stunned and rooted to the spot.
Oh no!
His attention had been entirely on the ginseng earlier, and he hadn't noticed when so many people had gathered around!
How was he going to slip away now?
Su Yu felt a headache coming on.
He asked a local elderly Korean woman for a black plastic bag, then crumpled the wild ginseng into a ball and barely managed to stuff it inside.
This scene made the Changbai Mountain ginseng lifters in the live broadcast room's eyelids twitch, almost causing them to throw their phones.
Oh, my ancestors!
That was a thirty-year-old premium wild ginseng!
Just, just stuffed into a plastic bag like broken firewood?
Su Yu couldn't bother with the wild ginseng at the moment. Seeing the gradually restless crowd around him, he quickly began to pack up the portable growth acceleration shed placed on the ground.
The black small box began to automatically retract after Su Yu pressed the retrieve button.
It took a few minutes to unfold, but only a short thirty seconds to pack up.
Tucking the portable growth acceleration shed back into his pocket, Su Yu felt the weight in his hand lighten slightly. He glanced at the grayish-white accelerated soil that hadn't been collected, and instantly understood.
The accelerated soil had not been recollected; it must have been because its energy was depleted, making it worthless for retrieval.
So now that the tools were packed and the wild ginseng was stored, shouldn't he start thinking about how to get away?
