Chapter 90 86
"Little Li, is this the spot where you found the ginseng?" Lu Qing surveyed the surroundings, asking the little creature perched on his shoulder.
At this moment, he was deep in the mountains, tens of miles away from Jiuli Village.
The dense jungle around him was filled with towering trees, emanating a primitive aura.
The world inside and outside the mountain truly seemed like two different realms.
Since learning that the Black Wolf Gang had been suppressed by the Wei Family and couldn't bother him for a while, Lu Qing felt much relieved.
He began considering how to use this opportunity to rapidly increase his strength.
As long as his power grew, he wouldn't need to fear the likes of the Black Wolf Gang.
For now, the easiest aspect for him to improve was his Qi-Blood Power.
After understanding the mysteries of Qi Blood Perfection, there were no bottlenecks left for Lu Qing in the Realm of Qi-Blood.
As long as he had enough elixirs, he could unrestrainedly enhance his Qi-Blood Power.
However, since his previous cultivation had almost depleted the Blood-Nourishing Elixir his master had made,
after some thought, Lu Qing decided to bring Little Li into the mountains to gather the wild ginseng that it had previously found.
This was also the reason why Lu Qing was currently in the deep mountains.
"Ow~"
Little Li cried out, nodded, and pointed in a certain direction with its paw.
Lu Qing immediately activated his Superpower to start inspecting the area.
Ignoring the common herbs, his target was solely ginseng.
After a search, he quickly made a discovery.
[Ginseng: A precious herb, edible, non-toxic.]
[This ginseng is fifty years old.]
Looking at the white light emanating from the ginseng in his view, Lu Qing felt somewhat disappointed.
This ginseng was not a century old, and the Superpower Light it emitted was only white, far less precious than the two ginsengs Little Li had given him.
Without disturbing the newly discovered ginseng, Lu Qing continued his search.
A fifty-year-old wild ginseng, though still considered precious in outside herb shops, wasn't much in Lu Qing's opinion now.
So, he decided to look further.
It wasn't long before he made another discovery.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
[Ginseng: A precious herb, edible, non-toxic.]
[This ginseng has grown for an average of just five years and has mediocre medicinal effects.]
Unexpectedly, this ginseng was even worse than the previous one, being only five years old.
It was practically a child among ginsengs.
"Can't be, is my luck that bad?"
Looking at the information provided by his Superpower, Lu Qing was somewhat dumbfounded.
"I refuse to believe this!"
Lu Qing resumed his search.
He could have asked Little Li directly, but he chose not to.
He was caught up in a somewhat stubborn mindset.
Even Little Li, a little beast that didn't understand medicinal herbs, could find two century-old ginsengs. Having mastered the Hundred Herbs Scripture and possessing Superpower, could he really not find a century-old ginseng?
Subsequently, Lu Qing found a few more ginsengs, but none of them were over a hundred years old, the oldest being just eighty years.
"However, seeing the eighty-year-old ginseng emitting a Superpower Light that was still white light, Lu Qing did not pick it.
"Could it be that the century-old ginsense in this area is only the two that Little Li dug up?"
After discovering another thirty-year-old ginseng, Lu Qing started to wonder.
"It shouldn't be, otherwise Little Li wouldn't have brought me here."
Lu Qing continued to search, and finally, after half an hour, he had a harvest.
However, when he saw the ginseng he found this time, he was stunned.
[Ginseng: A precious herb, non-toxic, edible.]
[This ginseng has grown for a long time, over two hundred years,]
[Legend has it, ginseng possesses various miraculous effects, and old enough ginseng seems also to have the ability to gain spiritual wisdom.]
"Two hundred years!"
Looking at the ginseng on the ground emitting a reddish glow through the white, Lu Qing's eyes widened.
He hadn't expected that after facing so many failures before with finding only younger ginsengs,
he'd suddenly come across such a hefty one!
The two-hundred-year-old ginseng was even stronger than the two Little Li had picked.
Even the ginseng that the Wei Family had brought to his master recently, to help treat Young Master Wei's body, did not seem to have reached this age.
This was truly a rare treasure he was lucky to encounter!
This time he had really struck it big.
Looking at the ginseng on the ground, Lu Qing forcibly contained his excitement, immediately put down his Medicine Basket he was carrying, and took out a bundle of Red Rope and a medicine hoe, ready to start digging.
First, Lu Qing tied the Red Rope around the ginseng.
This was a rule of Herb Gatherers; when encountering rare herbs like ginseng, they had to be tied with Red Rope first to prevent them from burrowing away during the digging.
If it were in his previous life, Lu Qing certainly wouldn't have believed such a thing.
But now, he had even experienced events like traveling through time.
This world also had strange creatures like Little Li and the Strange Fish, and the information given by superpower also mentioned the possibility of ginseng having spiritual wisdom.

If he didn't believe it now, that would be foolish.
Thus, even though he knew the ginseng in front of him likely had not reached the level of possessing spiritual wisdom, Lu Qing still followed the Herb Gatherer's convention, first tying the Red Rope.
After tying the Red Rope, Lu Qing began to dig very carefully.
First, he cleared the weeds around it, then he dug slowly with the medicine hoe, following the growth patterns of the ginseng.
Throughout the process, Lu Qing dared not be careless.
With such old ginseng, even a single root was extremely valuable and had powerful medicinal effects.
He was not an insensitive little beast like Little Li.
Such a rare and precious herb could cause heartache if accidentally damaged.
Luckily, as a Martial Artist who had reached Qi Blood Perfection in the Martial Arts Realm, Lu Qing had strong control over his own actions.
Under his careful handling, this over two-hundred-year-old old ginseng was perfectly dug out.
Looking at the old ginseng in his hands, its roots intact, with not a single damage, Lu Qing couldn't help but smile.
The two-hundred-year-old old ginseng, once made into a blood-nourishing and Qi-boosting elixir, would definitely be much stronger than the century-old ones.
With this ginseng, his days toward reaching Perfect Blood Qi Realm could be greatly shortened.
Little Li, standing by and seeing Lu Qing's silly smile, was a bit puzzled.
It was just digging up a plant, yet this guy was smiling like an idiot.
After admiring the ginseng he had dug out for a while, Lu Qing wrapped it in a piece of turf, tied it with Red Rope, and then placed it in his Medicine Basket.
After finishing all these tasks, he straightened his back, looking at the forest in front of him, his eyes filled with excited light.
Since there was a two-hundred-year-old ginseng here, could it be possible that there are even older ones hidden somewhere?"
What do you think?
