Chapter 267 - Encounter In The Forest, The Elegant White Tiger (2)
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue nodded. She looked at Ball Ball, who was happily eating with tears in its eyes, and felt her heart soften. What an innocent and cute little fellow.
"Miss, it"s very fierce. It even glared at me just now," Lin Yuan complained.
"Why are you still being calculative with a child? It was glaring at you because we stole its food. In fact, this little thing is very simple." Leng Ruoxue was very biased and spoke up for Ball Ball.
"That"s right. You are already so old!" Leng Qingtian glared at Lin Yuan and growled unhappily.
"Miss!" Lin Yuan put on a bitter face and pretended to be pitiful. Unfortunately, no one cared at all.
"Go pick the herbs quickly. Don"t count on Ball Ball for everything," Leng Ruoxue said directly.
"Okay!" Lin Yuan replied and continued to pick the gra.s.s resignedly.
After Ball Ball"s earlier efforts, there were many places they could stand now, and it didn"t seem as crowded. So they each chose a spot to pick the gra.s.s.
"Big Sister, I"m done resting." Ball Ball then continued working. The amount of herbs on the ground decreased by a third in the blink of an eye.
"Ball Ball, don"t worry about it. Let us do the rest." Leng Ruoxue"s heart ached as she looked at Ball Ball panting from exhaustion. She hurriedly handed it a spirit fruit to replenish its stamina.
"Thank you, Big Sister," Ball Ball said happily while holding the spirit fruit. Its big eyes almost narrowed into a line from smiling.
After getting Ball Ball to rest, she sent the herbs it picked into the bracelet. She also found a place to focus on picking herbs.
"Wow! Miss, look what I found!" Liu Yan suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
Everyone looked at Liu Yan and saw that he was holding a golden-colored ginseng that was as thick as an adult"s arm. The head of the ginseng even had human features, and it was very clear…
"Is this a ginseng or a carrot? Why is it so big?" Feng Da murmured in disbelief.
"Idiot, of course it"s ginseng!" Lin Liang gave Feng Da a knock on the head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the large golden ginseng in surprise and explained, "This is a golden ginseng and at least a thousand years old."
"Miss, the facial features on this are very clear. Do you think it has developed intelligence?" Liu Yan asked curiously. As an alchemist, he was most interested in all sorts of herbs and plants. Moreover, it was extremely rare to see such a large ginseng. It was really too exciting.
"Bring it here, and let me see," Leng Ruoxue said.
"Okay." Liu Yan handed the ginseng to Leng Ruoxue and looked at her expectantly.
Leng Ruoxue held the golden ginseng in her hand, but she didn"t feel any spiritual power fluctuations. Perhaps this ginseng hasn"t developed intelligence yet?
Suddenly, she seemed to feel fear, but only very slightly.
"Qing Jue, has this ginseng developed intelligence?" Leng Ruoxue asked uncertainty through telepathy.
"Big Sister, this golden ginseng is about three thousand years old and has already developed intelligence, but it"s not obvious."
"Big Sister, hand it to me. You have to plant it quickly. This ginseng is very timid," Qing Jue said with a chuckle.
"Okay." Leng Ruoxue sent the golden ginseng into the bracelet.
"It already has intelligence, but it"s not obvious," Leng Ruoxue explained after talking with Qing Jue.
"Wow, I"ve never seen a wood-type sprite before!" Liu Yan said excitedly.
"Stinky brat, do you think we"ve seen one before? Those things have long become legends," Old Zao said with slight displeasure as he hit Liu Yan on the head.
"Hehe, Miss, when can we see the ginseng sprite?" Liu Yan asked with a silly smile.
"According to the records, only heavenly materials and earthly treasures more than ten thousand years old can produce sprites. This ginseng is only three thousand years old now, so we"ll have to wait," Leng Ruoxue said honestly.
"Uh… Doesn"t that mean there"s still seven thousand years? Boohoo… I will be dead by then," Liu Yan said with a sad face.
"Not necessarily. As long as you cultivate diligently, you will live for a very long time," Leng Ruoxue consoled.
"Yes, I will cultivate diligently. I have to see the legendary wood-type sprites no matter what!" Liu Yan said imposingly.
"Look at you. Are you satisfied just to live another seven thousand years?" Feng Da said with contempt.
"What else?" Liu Yan scratched his head. This wish wasn"t small!
"Eternal life, of course! Who would be willing to die if they could live forever!" Feng Da said matter-of-factly.
"…" Liu Yan was speechless. He was only a Spiritual Sovereign now. Eternal life! It was so far away. Moreover, no one knew whether there was eternal life in this world or not.
"Miss, am I right?" Feng Da looked at their young lady with a flattering look.
"Yes, you can indeed treat this as one of your goals," Leng Ruoxue agreed.
"Alright, let"s continue picking!" Leng Ruoxue continued.
Two hours later, all the herbs on the ground were harvested, including many precious ones, with everyone"s efforts.
Leng Ruoxue looked at the clean open s.p.a.ce, and two drops of cold sweat dripped down her forehead. Didn"t we clear the place too cleanly?
"b.u.t.terfly, do we really have to harvest all of them? Should we leave a few behind?" Leng Ruoxue couldn"t help asking. They should be sustainable, right? Otherwise, won"t all these herbs be extinct in the future?
"Yes, you won"t be able to leave until you"ve harvested all of them. Moreover, even though you"ve harvested all of them now, the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm will be full of herbs again when it opens once more in a thousand years," b.u.t.terfly explained while gently flapping its wings.
"Uh, it"s really magical!" Leng Ruoxue was relieved. This place was really worthy of being called a mystic realm!
"Girl, the road to the front has appeared. Let"s go quickly!" b.u.t.terfly urged. Hehe, there were still many good things ahead!
