“Haha! Abbot, it appears you really are clueless about ginseng If not, you wouldn’t be saying such ah He did notwould be displeased hat he said
Fangzheng naturally did not feel unhappy Instead, he asked, “Oh? Does it not depend on the leaves? This Penniless Monk has always heard that the leaves deterrade”

“The fibrous roots are used by the ginseng to absorb nutrients The older the ginseng, the fewer fibrous roots it has As such, older ginseng are clean of fibrous roots
“Ginseng grow underground for decades Many of a ginseng’s roots rot before new ones grow in their place The rotted parts would leave behind scars, which are the pearl dots As such, theis
“The older a ginseng is, the raer ones will take a century or two As the saying goes, 350 grara said all of that in one go, Letian looked at the duet that?”
Fangzheng shook his head helplessly “Soh This Penniless Monk seems to understand, he probably won’t be able to discern them if required”
