Ten Boxes of Gold

Noticing Lu Jueyu's doubts, Doctor Xie pointed at the ginseng and said, "We can count the age of the ginseng from this part. Each section represents a year."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu started counting. When she finished, she was stunned. This ginseng was indeed 839 years old.

While she was still confused by the discovery, Doctor Xie asked, "Girl, can you sell me this ginseng?"

Lu Jueyu went silent upon hearing his words. The price of ginseng in the black market has risen lately, making it hard to determine its value.

The older the ginseng, the higher the price. But the oldest ginseng in the black market was only 100 years old. So, how much should she sell this ginseng for?

Thinking that she was unwilling to sell, Doctor Xie grew anxious. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Girl, I know this ginseng is priceless, and I don't have enough money to buy it from you. How about I trade gold for it?"
