Chapter 10: The Terrifying Effects of Ancient Medicine-grade

"A hundred kilograms of rice, a hundred kilograms of flour, and a hundred kilograms of vegetables, adding them together..." Li Tianran coldly spat out a number, resolute and decisive. "For a friendly price of eight million!"

"Li Tianran, have you gone crazy from being poor?" Zhong Ling, infuriated by Li Tianran's words, exclaimed in rage. "Fine, fine, fine! You just hold on to your rotten and moldy food! I don't believe that without you, we can't buy food!"

Ignoring Zhong Ling's rage, Li Tianran hung up the phone directly.

He had no intention of selling food to Zhong Ling, even if she was willing to pay that amount of money. Those words were just a game to him.

At the moment, the situation was uncertain, and the radiation-resistant crops in the farm were different from ordinary food. If they were exposed, it was inevitable that some unscrupulous people would have greedy thoughts.

Li Tianran's current strength was not yet powerful enough. If he were to be targeted now, there would be no peace!

However, through Zhong Ling's phone call, Li Tianran also learned that the food shortage outside had already reached a very severe stage. The stored food in the market must be extremely difficult to buy; otherwise, Zhong Ling wouldn't have called him.

Li Tianran's guess was correct.

Although the country had been actively mobilizing food reserves, people didn't know when this disaster would end, so there was a nationwide frenzy to hoard food. The newly arrived supplies were instantly snatched up and sold out.

If the toxin problem in the soil couldn't be resolved, when the stored food ran out and new crops couldn't grow, famine would still devour humanity like a demon.

...

Time passed quickly.

On an early morning two days later, Li Tianran, full of energy, got up early and hurried to the cultivation area.

Today was the day when the Ancient Medicine-grade crops would mature.

He was eager to see what wonders the third-tier crops with the title of "Ancient Medicine" held.

During these three days, he hadn't been idle. He had replanted the radiation-resistant crops and supplemented them with accelerated potions. In total, he had harvested four times, amounting to 21,000 kilograms!

He set aside 30 kilograms of fruits and vegetables of each type and sent the rest into the recycling system, earning 210,000 points as a reward.

Combined with the points he had obtained before, he now had enough qualifications to indulge in a small shopping spree at the mall.

Opening the door of the greenhouse, Li Tianran had not yet seen the scene inside the field but caught a strong aroma of Chinese herbal medicine.

The fragrance was subtle and seemed to soothe even the most restless state of mind!

Li Tianran turned his head to look inside the greenhouse, specifically at a small field that had been set aside to distinguish it from the radiation-resistant crops. The small field was about four square meters and was scattered with twelve carrots, their leaves shining like translucent emerald stones, emitting a faint fragrance.

"Ancient Medicine-grade Carrots

Growth Length: 100%

Effect: Clears all negative effects such as toxins and illnesses (including irreversible damage caused by negative effects)

Storage Time: Unlimited

Description: As long as there is breath, I am your mobile ICU!"

Seeing this description, Li Tianran was stunned.

His hands trembled involuntarily.

Was this still a vegetable? It was practically a treasure of heaven and earth!

In martial arts novels, this was like the Nine Revival Pill that could detoxify all poisons and heal life-threatening injuries!

Li Tianran could completely imagine the shock it would cause in the medical field if this thing were to be released. Compared to it, even century-old ginseng and millennium-old Lingzhi mushrooms would pale in comparison.

The statement "clears all negative effects such as toxins and illnesses, including irreversible damage caused by negative effects" was enough to overshadow the tens of thousands of known drugs in the world.

Simply put, with this, any terminal illness could be cured. Even if one drank paraquat or ate rat poison like candy, they wouldn't die!

This incredibly powerful effect was truly worthy of its name as an "Ancient Medicine"!

Li Tianran carefully used a small hoe to dig up these twelve Ancient Medicine carrots and held them in his palms as if he were holding the most precious treasures in the world.

"Stored in the system backpack, can be taken out at will."

"I wonder if these Ancient Medicine carrots can neutralize the toxins in the radiation-contaminated vegetables." Suddenly, Li Tianran thought of a question. After a moment of silence, he muttered to himself, "It seems that I need to give it a try."

Li Tianran was someone who didn't easily believe in external things.

Although the Ancient Medicine-grade vegetables had powerful effects according to the data description, he didn't know if the actual effects were completely consistent with the description.

If there were any errors with the system or if the effects of these Ancient Medicines were exaggerated, it would be troublesome when they were needed in the future...

After some thought, Li Tianran decided to experiment when he had the time.

Testing would be simple. Radiated plants were all over the streets, so he just needed to go to the slaughterhouse and get a small piglet.

"Check my attributes..."

Li Tianran accessed his attribute panel and began to read.

After consuming the radiation-resistant vegetables for three days, Li Tianran clearly felt that his physique had changed. His strength had increased, his body felt lighter, and he no longer felt tired from physical labor.

He knew that the enhanced physique effect of the radiation-resistant vegetables had come into play.

"Li Tianran

Age: 22

Strength: 11 (Adult standard: 10)

Intelligence: 11 (Standard: 10)

Agility: 11 (Standard: 10)

Endurance: 11/11 (Standard: 10, full stamina)

Evaluation: This is an adult man in his physical and intellectual prime. He is cautious, calm, and agile in everything he does. His younger sister and his dog are the things he cares about the most. He appears gentle on the surface, but do not try to touch his bottom line, or you will know that he is more terrifying than a demon!"

All the data had increased slightly compared to three days ago, and the effects were significant.

However, looking at his evaluation, Li Tianran felt a bit speechless.

Am I really that fierce?

Clearly, I'm very gentle!

But... gentleness is only shown to my younger sister.

Li Tianran smiled.

Just then, the patrol guard suddenly sounded a piercing alarm. "Warning! Warning! Someone is attempting to invade!

Li Tianran's face changed, and his gaze turned cold in an instant.
