After Yang Zhengshan searched the entire underground space, his heart had gone numb.
Two thousand taels of gold could probably be exchanged for twenty thousand taels of silver. Those jadeite pieces and jewels should be worth around thirty to forty thousand taels of silver, and with the eight thousand taels in silver ingots added in, the total value came to roughly sixty to seventy thousand taels.
But the most valuable things in this underground space were not the gold and silver, but the goods stored here.

Yang Zhengshan had actually found ten precious medicines among them.
Eight of those precious medicines were hundred-year ginseng, which should be a specialty of the East Sea Hu Tribe.
There was also a Golden Thorn Blood Vine close to ten feet long, and a Moon Star Seed.

An inch of blood vine, an inch of gold.
