Chapter 198: The Herb Collector
Chapter 198 The Herbicide Collecting Man
Xuanyun City is located at the junction of Song, Jin and Qi. Therefore, due to the advantage of the geographical location, there are many people coming and going to this city, which has created Xuanyun City with great prosperity.
However, because of the geographical advantage, the three kingdoms of Song, Jin and Qi all wanted to occupy Xuanyun City for themselves. But it was precisely because of this that the three kingdoms were afraid of each other that Xuanyun City had never belonged to any country, but a city belonging to a free force.
Not far from Xuanyun City, the city of Freedom, there is a mountain range called Xuanyun Mountain. This mountain range is hundreds of miles in a radius, with countless strange flowers, plants and rare beasts. It is precisely because of this that many people living in Xuanyun City make a living from Xuanyun Mountain. They will come to Xuanyun Mountain, collect spiritual medicines or capture strange beasts, and then go to Xuanyun City to use the picked spiritual medicines and captured strange beasts to exchange for what they need.
On this day, an old man about sixty years old, with kind eyes, wearing a tight blue dress, a yellow bamboo basket on his back, and holding an iron medicine hoe, walked out of Xuanyun City and came to Xuanyun Mountains. Seeing the old man dressed up, he knew that he was a herb collector.
The so-called herb collector is the abbreviation of people who collect spiritual medicines in the Xuanyun Mountains, while those who catch alien animals are called hunters.
When he arrived at the outer edge of Xuanyun Mountain, the old man followed the road that was stepped out by countless people entering the mountain and walked towards the depths of Xuanyun Mountain. Because he had been collected over the years, it was difficult to collect spiritual medicines on the outer edge of Xuanyun Mountain. Therefore, the herb collectors who live in Xuanyun City can only enter the depths of the dangerous Xuanyun Mountains to collect spiritual medicines.
On the way to the mountain, there were not only the old man, but also many herb collectors who also carried bamboo baskets and held medicinal hoes. However, most of them were strong men in their thirties and forties, and only the old man was as old as the old man.
After seeing the old man, the other herb collectors greeted the old man: "Old man Wang, come and collect herbs again!"
"Yes!" The old man known as Old Man Wang smiled and nodded in response.
"Old man Wang, your granddaughter has become an immortal master in Xuanyun City. Don't you enjoy your happiness? Why are you still coming to the Xuanyun Mountains to collect herbs!" A herb collector asked Old man Wang.
"What do you know? The immortal master also needs spiritual medicine, spirit stones and other things to practice. Old Man Wang came to collect herbs for his granddaughter." Before Old Man Wang could speak, other herb collectors answered for Old Man Wang.
"Old man Wang, you really love your granddaughter!" An uninformed herb collector sighed when he heard these words.
"Ha!" When someone talked about his granddaughter, Old Man Wang couldn't help but smile.
His granddaughter has always been his pride. He is only in his twenties this year. Not only is he beautiful, but he also joined the "Suyun Sect" of the immortal cultivation sect in Xuanyun City and became an immortal master. You should know that the immortal master is a noble person, and his status is absolutely different from those of them. It is precisely because his granddaughter has become an immortal master that other herb collectors are so polite to him.
After his granddaughter became an immortal master, he was extremely filial to not collect herbs. But Old Man Wang himself knew that although the immortal master was a noble person, it was not that easy. There were only him and his granddaughter in the family, so he would often secretly collect spiritual medicines from Xuanyun Mountains, and then switch them to spiritual stones for his granddaughter to practice.
Although he would be blamed by his granddaughter every time he gave his spirit stone to his granddaughter, he would feel very satisfied when he saw his granddaughter holding spirit stones, exchange them for things, or practicing. Therefore, after his granddaughter left, he would still secretly go to the Xuanyun Mountains to continue collecting spiritual medicines.
When he was thinking about his granddaughter, Old Man Wang and other herb collectors had already entered the depths of Xuanyun Mountains. When they reached the depths, the group naturally would not continue walking together. After all, if the group walked together, it would be difficult to allocate the medicine. So immediately, everyone separated and each looked for a direction to move forward.
Old Man Wang chose the southeast direction. He went to this direction when he collected spiritual medicine a few times. He is now familiar with this direction, so this time he is still preparing to walk in this direction and collect spiritual medicine.
Because he had already penetrated the Xuanyun Mountains, Old Man Wang also cheered up and saw him walking quietly while paying attention to the surrounding situation with his sharp eyes.
Suddenly, a golden grass growing next to the roots of a tree came into his eyes. When he saw this grass, Old Man Wang was delighted because this golden grass was the spiritual medicine "Golden Wood Grass".
However, Old Man Wang did not come forward rashly, but looked at the golden wood grass carefully. When he was sure that the golden wood grass was just a spiritual medicine of thirty or forty years, Old Man Wang breathed a sigh of relief.
Generally, spiritual medicines of higher ages will be protected by monsters. Mortals like him are no match for monsters that protect spiritual medicines at all, so when facing spiritual medicines of higher ages, he can only leave.
Now this golden wood grass is only thirty or forty years old, and there is no protection from monsters, so he can collect it with confidence.
When he walked to the golden wood grass, Old Man Wang squatted down and carefully used a medicine hoe to dig open the soil around the golden wood grass, exposing the roots of the golden wood grass as much as possible. Then he uprooted the golden wood grass and placed it in the wooden box carried in the bamboo basket and kept it.
The reason for uprooting is that the small-year spiritual medicine is not very effective, so people who purchase spiritual medicine usually plant the spiritual medicine and wait for the high-year period to be sold. In this way, the roots of the spiritual medicine need to be kept as intact as possible to sell at a good price. Therefore, when collecting spiritual medicine, Old Man Wang would be so careful to keep the roots of the spiritual medicine intact.
After collecting the gold and wood grass, Old Man Wang continued to look for other spiritual medicines.
After a few hours, Old Man Wang did not collect other spiritual medicines. Although he found another spiritual medicine during this period, because it was a senior, he could only avoid it with regret.
Just as Old Man Wang was considering whether he was going deeper into the Xuanyun Mountains, he suddenly found a "cangyun grass" that was about 40 years old. Immediately, Old Man Wang stepped forward and carefully collected it.
When Old Man Wang was collecting Cangyun Grass, a large ball of silver light suddenly flashed out dozens of feet above him. Because the sun's light was burning at this time, the silver light did not attract anyone's attention.
After the silver light existed in the air for a while, it dissipated, revealing a figure with a faint yellow light flashing on its body. After the figure appeared, it quickly fell down towards the Xuanyun Mountains.
In just a blink of an eye, the figure that appeared in the silver light fell fiercely on the Xuanyun Mountains, making a loud "boom" sound, which shocked the birds scattered everywhere.
Old Man Wang was closest to where his figure fell, so he naturally heard the loud "boom" sound clearly. At this moment, he had already preserved the Cangyun Grass, so after thinking for a while, he walked carefully in the direction where the sound came.
After walking a short distance, Old Man Wang came to a somewhat messy place. He knew that this should be the place where the loud noise had just been made. After standing in a big tree, Old Man Wang began to observe the situation ahead.
Later, he was surprised to find that there was a big pit on the ground in front of him, and there was a young man in his twenties who was about the same-looking face. His clothes were broken and stained with blood. He looked like he was seriously injured.
Seeing that there was no danger around, Old Man Wang came to the big pit, gently touched the person in the pit, and shouted: "Young man! Young man!"
Seeing that the person in the pit did not respond, Old Man Wang stretched out his finger and reached out to the person's nose. After finding that the person in the pit had a faint breath, he muttered to himself: "It seems that he was seriously injured and unconscious, but he didn't know what caused such an injury."
"Is it a monster?" Thinking of the loud noise I heard just now, Old Man Wang guessed at the huge pit in front of him.
However, no matter what caused it, since he encountered a person in the pit who was seriously injured and unconscious, Old Man Wang could not bear to see such a young man die in the Xuanyun Mountains, so he immediately decided to save the person in the pit.
After taking off the bamboo basket behind him, Old Man Wang helped the person in the pit up, then lifted the bamboo basket he took off and walked out of Yunxuan Mountain.
Because he always goes into the mountains and has taken some pills, although Old Man Wang is in his sixties, he is very strong in his body. Even if he is carrying a person on his back, it does not cause much burden on him. Soon he walked to the road into the mountains.
"Old Man Wang, who is the one you carry?" On the mountain road, there was also a herb collector who was going down the mountain and asked Old Man Wang curiously.
"A wounded young man." Old man Wang replied.
"You have saved another unknown person again!" Hearing Old Man Wang say this, a herb collector who knew that Old Man Wang had saved a stranger on the mountain had said.
"Ha!" Old Man Wang laughed, admitting.
"I said to Old Man Wang, you have worked so hard to save people. They may not thank you at that time. Why are you doing?" Some herb collector sighed and said.
"Are you living a conscience? Since you meet it, you can't stand by death and refuse to save me." Old Man Wang said with a smile: "As for thanks, I am so old, what else do you need others to thank for?"
After Old Man Wang finished speaking, there was no more herb collectors saying anything.
Until he left, Old Man Wang vaguely heard someone say, "Whatever is living is a conscience. I think Old Man Wang is just stupid and would do this!"
"Yes, I think this old man Wang is also a little stupid."
