[Ginseng: A precious medicinal herb, non-toxic, edible.]
[This ginseng plant, having grown for many years, has already surpassed a century,]
[It is said that ginseng possesses various magical effects, and sufficiently old ginseng seems even to have the ability to communicate with spirits and develop spiritual wisdom.]
Looking at the ginseng before him, with information emerging in his mind, Lu Qing showed a smile.
Since he had dug up that more than two-hundred-year-old ginseng, his luck seemed to have improved all at once.
And he had found three more ginseng plants in succession, all of which were over a century old.
Slowly digging out this century-old ginseng and placing it into his medicine basket, Lu Qing felt exceptionally good.
The medicine basket already contained four ginseng plants, plus the one that Little Li had brought from home earlier.
Five ginseng plants, one of two hundred years and four of a hundred years, if all were refined into blood-nourishing pills, it would be more than enough to supply his cultivation to the Perfect Qi Blood Realm.
"What a treasure mountain indeed!"
Lu Qing looked around and sincerely sighed.
He hadn't searched a very large area and yet had found so many century-old ginseng plants.
Adding to that other medicinal materials he had seen while searching for ginseng.
It's easy to imagine how rich the resources of the forest are in medicinal materials.
It's not an exaggeration to call it a treasure mountain.
However, although the medicinal herbs here are abundant, enterying is not easy at all.
Terrain primitive forest, riddled with insects and snakes and concealed fierce animals, a slight carelessness could result in being bitten and possibly dying deep within the mountains.
Lu Qing was able to enter because he is a Qi Blood Realm Martial Artist, and he had a medicine bag prepared by his master to repel snakes and insects.
Moreover, with Little Li being a spiritual beast, she seems to have some kind of deterrent ability towards other creatures in the mountain, which made things much more comfortable.
For a regular Herb Gatherer wanting to venture into the depths of the forest, it would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Therefore, even if people knew that there were treasures all over the place and medicinal materials filled the mountains, they could only watch from afar and not approach.
Of course, this was a good thing for Lu Qing.
Only he could freely enter and leave this place, which meant that he could find whatever medicinal materials he needed anytime in the future.
After gathering enough ginseng for his cultivation, Lu Qing temporarily stopped his search for more ginseng.
Besides digging for ginseng, he also wanted to practice the knowledge from the "Hundred Herbs Scripture," to see what other herbs in the mountain was like in the wild.
Thus, Lu Qing, along with Little Li, began to wander leisurely through the mountains.
With Little Li and the medicine bag, those poisonous insects and snakes did not dare to come near him.

After wandering for a while, he couldn't help but exclaim again that the medicinal herbs in this mountain were indeed plentiful.
Just from this short stroll, he had seen no fewer than dozens of different herbs.
And all were thriving exceptionally well, full of medicinal properties.
Lu Qing also picked some precious herbs that were not commonly seen outside and dug up some of them.
His master would often treat the villagers from nearby villages for free on ordinary days, consuming a significant amount of medicinal herbs.
Ordinary herbs could be found on the hills near the village.
So Lu Qing specifically chose herbs that were not available outside or rarely seen for digging.
After digging for a while, Lu Qing discovered another surprise.
[Sanqi: A precious medicinal herb, non-toxic, for medicinal use.]
[It has the effects of Blood Circulation and Hemostasis and Pain Relief, an excellent remedy for treating both external and internal injuries.]
Looking at the robust white light on the medicinal plant before him, Lu Qing was very excited.
He hadn't expected to find Sanqi here.
This, too, was a very rare type of medicinal material.
The famous antiseptic medicine on the rivers and lakes, known as the holy medicine for healing injuries, has Sanqi as its main ingredient.
Previously, in order to treat Young Master Wei's blood loss, his master had specifically requested Sanqi from the Wei Mansion.
This tells you how remarkable this herb is.
Lu Qing immediately began to dig it up.
The light of Superpower emanating from this Sanqi, although only white light, was still very rare.
After digging it up and taking it back, it would be enough to make a large bottle of antiseptic medicine, which could save lives at critical moments and should not be missed.
While digging the Sanqi, Lu Qing also had a hint of doubt in his mind.
According to the "Hundred Herbs Scripture," ginseng and Sanqi are never supposed to grow in the same place.
Because the environmental conditions needed for these two types of medicinal herbs are entirely different.
Ginseng likes shade and cold, is tolerant of low temperatures, and doesn't like direct sunlight, so the climate of this deep forest indeed suits it.
But Sanqi is different; it likes humidity and doesn't tolerate extreme heat or extreme cold, its most suitable growing environment being a place with warm winters and cool summers.
Logically, it shouldn't appear here.
Because Lu Qing knows from memory that Jiuli Village gets snow in the winter.
What could be the reason for Sanqi to defy its growth habits and appear in this forest?
After digging up the Sanqi and placing it in his medicine basket, Lu Qing fell into deep thought.
Now that he thought about it, indeed something seemed off.
The medicinal herbs in this forest are abundantly rich to a surprising degree.
So many century-old ginseng could appear all at once, and other herbs too were growing exceptionally strong, and now even the Sanqi, which shouldn't be here, was thriving so well.
Previously, Lu Qing thought it was because the environment was good and seldom visited by humans, that there were so many abundant herbs.
But now, seeing that ginseng and Sanqi grow in the same area, he finally sensed something was awry.
His first thought was, could there be some mystery in these mountains?
Thinking over it, Lu Qing looked at the black little beast beside him: "Little Li, you've been active in this mountain for so long, have you discovered anything special nearby?"
