Chapter 62: Green grass! Hidden arrows in the grass!
The next morning, after breakfast, Xu Yuan went into the mountains again to collect herbs.
The Wanchuan Mountains are very large and have many entrances. Xu Yuan did not continue to enter through the same entrance yesterday, but changed to another one.
After entering the mountain through the entrance, Xu Yuan began to move forward. While scanning the ground seriously, he also carefully guarded his surroundings.
In the blink of an eye, two hours passed, and Xu Yuan dug up two medicinal herbs, but their prices were very average.
"We can't continue like this. The value of medicinal herbs is too low. We can't sell them for a lot of money. We have to go deeper."
Xu Yuan pondered in his heart. The quantity and value of medicinal herbs on the periphery of the Wanchuan Mountains were very average. The deeper you go, the more valuable medicinal herbs you will encounter. However, it also comes with risks, because there are many ferocious beasts in the depths. After thinking for a while, Xu Yuan decided to walk deeper. Immediately, he quickened his pace and rushed forward.
Another hour has passed, and Xu Yuan is now in a relatively deep place in the Wanchuan Mountains. The surrounding trees are taller, the jungle is denser, and the roars of wild beasts can often be heard from all around. "Huh? What is that?"
Suddenly, Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed, and on a huge rock in front, he saw a green grass that was caught in the cracks of the stone. Although the surrounding environment was very poor, this grass grew perfectly.
, swaying in the wind, without any defects.
"Wait...this seems to be biling grass?"
Xu Yuan looked at the green grass, and a name came to his mind.
Last night he woke up once in the middle of the night, and couldn't sleep after that. When he had nothing to do, Xu Yuan read Baicao Lu in bed, memorizing as many as he could, and this Bi Lingcao Xu Yuan was in Baicao yesterday.
I saw it in the book. It is a medicinal plant with many good effects. It is an indispensable medicinal material for many medicinal diets, prescriptions and even elixirs! Its value is extremely precious, and one plant can be sold for sixty-seven taels in the market! This is the most expensive medicinal herb Xu Yuan has seen in the past two days! It can be called a precious medicinal herb!
Immediately, Xu Yuan's eyes couldn't help but become a little fiery. Without hesitation, his palm immediately reached out to the Bi Lingcao in front of him.
"Whoops!"
But at this moment, a violent sound of breaking wind resounded.
Xu Yuan's expression suddenly moved, and he reacted very quickly. He immediately dodged to the side. When he looked again, there was an arrow in the place where he originally stood!
A cold light flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes, and he looked not far away. There was a bush of grass where he looked, and at this time, the figure of a man in gray clothes slowly emerged from the bush. The gray man
The man in clothes holds a bow and arrow in his hand, facing Xu Yuan.
The man in gray hid in the grass not far away but was able to avoid being discovered by Xu Yuan. Xu Yuan guessed that either this man was very strong, or he had been dormant in the grass early and deliberately did not dig up this Bi Lingcao.
, so fish for bait!
"Friend, I saw this biling grass first!" The man in gray shouted coldly, and then without too much hesitation, he pulled back the bowstring and shot another arrow.
"Whoops!"
The speed of the arrow was very fast, tearing the air apart and making a sharp sound.
Xu Yuan's eyes narrowed, he stepped on the soles of his feet, and his body immediately rushed out. His hands were not afraid of anything, and he pushed directly sideways, catching the oncoming arrows and tearing them apart.
The man in gray suddenly changed his face when he saw this. His archery skills were extremely powerful. No one could catch an arrow, but it was torn apart by the man in front of him with his palm. He was fishing and caught an iron plate.
Already?
"Whoosh!"
The man in gray clothes did not dare to be careless and shot out two arrows again, each one more powerful than the other.
"Death!"
A loud shout rang out from Xu Yuan's mouth, and the two oncoming arrows were smashed to pieces by him again with his palms. Then his figure flashed, and he came in front of the man in gray in an instant. Before he could wait for the next step,
When the person reacted, Xu Yuan punched out fiercely, blasting the man in gray's head open, and a cloud of blood mist exploded!
There was nothing in Xu Yuan's heart. The man in gray had been planning to kill him from the very beginning. The man in gray's first arrow was not to demonstrate to Xu Yuan, to tell Xu Yuan that he had discovered the Bi Ling Grass first.
That arrow was aimed at killing him, going straight to the vital point. If Xu Yuan hadn't reacted quickly, he might be the one lying on the ground now!
Xu Yuan is not a soft persimmon who can be manipulated by others. No matter what your background is, no one knows anyone if you hide your identity in the Wanchuan Mountains. If you mess with me, I will kill you. It’s a simple truth.
Xu Yuan stepped forward, took out a glove and put it on his palm, and began to search the body.
In the end, a total of three unknown medicinal plants and more than eighty taels of silver were found.
Xu Yuan put the silver into his pocket, put the three medicinal plants and the biling grass into the bamboo basket on his back, and covered them with black cloth.
I will look for these three medicinal herbs on Baicaolu when I go back. Now is not the time.
As for the corpse... there is no need to dispose of it. Xu Yuan's punch would blow up his head, and the man in gray didn't even have a punch mark on his body.
At this time, it is very common for people to die in the Wanchuan Mountains. The corpses can usually be left directly where they are. The smell of blood will attract beasts to come and clean them up.
Xu Yuan looked around to other places, but didn't gain much. It was getting dark in a blink of an eye, and he needed to go back.
After returning to the inn, Xu Yuan took stock of today's harvest. He picked a total of six medicinal herbs today, one of which was Bi Lingcao worth sixty or seventy taels, and three others were found from the man in gray.
Each herb was worth several taels of silver, which was pretty good. Adding in the more than 80 taels of silver on the man in gray, Xu Yuan's total harvest today was about one hundred and sixty taels, which was considered a good harvest. For the next four or five days, Xu Yuan still went up the mountain to collect herbs every morning and returned in the evening.
In the past four or five days, he also encountered several rats like the man in gray who tried to attack him, but Xu Yuan destroyed them all with thunderous means.
As for the harvest, it was pretty good. I didn't dig up any particularly precious medicinal materials, but Xu Yuan dug up two more herbs like bilingcao worth dozens of taels of silver in the past four or five days.
Except for the income from medicinal herbs, the rest of the income comes from the money from those who have ideas for him, which is also one or two hundred taels.
After these four or five days, Xu Yuan's total income from herbs and money was about more than three hundred taels.
On this day, Xu Yuan walked in the Wanchuan Mountains and continued to search for medicinal herbs.
Today is the eighth day since he came to the Wanchuan Mountains. After these eight days, his income has been considerable, and it is worthwhile for him to come all the way. However, there has been no progress at all on the Ruifeng ginseng matter.
This time when he came to the Wanchuan Mountains, what Xu Yuan wanted most was the Ruifeng ginseng, which can increase longevity, but he knew that the hope was slim. During the past eight days, while collecting medicine, he also liked to listen to the news in places where people gathered in the town.
, so far there has been no revelation that the third Ruifeng ginseng plant was dug up.
Many people think that there is probably no third Ruifeng ginseng in the Wanchuan Mountains, and two of them would be considered unparalleled.
Of course, there is also a possibility that the person who dug up the third Ruifeng ginseng hid it and did not tell anyone about it. After all, this is a hot potato.
Xu Yuan also had a let nature take its course attitude towards this. He naturally wanted Ruifeng ginseng, but there was no progress yet and he couldn't force it. It was a worthwhile trip to dig some medicinal herbs in the mountains and exchange them for money.
