The sound of water rushed, and a small river meandered through the mountains.
Hearing the sound of water, Li Qing rushed down the hillside at a fast pace, slipping and sliding, and walked to the river to take off the basket on his back.
He drank water, washed his hands and face, and then sat down to rest. It was already noon since he entered the mountain in the early morning. Li Qing was also very tired, so he looked up at the surrounding mountains and forests again.
It was a scene of deep mountains and old forests, with mountains and mountains, large trees and deep forests. I took a look at the surrounding environment, and then at the direction I came from, and secretly noted the location in my mind to avoid getting lost when I went back.
Because this is the first time Li Qing has come to this deep mountain, he has to keep in mind the direction to go back to avoid getting lost. In the past, he collected herbs in a mountain forest closer to Baima Town.
Due to the medicine, the medicinal materials in that forest became less and less and became more and more difficult to find, so Li Qingcai went deep into this forest alone that he had never set foot in before.
"Let's look for the mountain ahead again. It's almost time to go back."
Sitting on a stone by the river, looking at the sky to roughly estimate the time, and looking at the mountains across the river, Li Qing thought to himself and made a plan in his mind.
call--
The breeze blew from the upper reaches of the river, refreshing and pleasant. Li Qing instantly felt that most of the heat on his body had been reduced. But suddenly, he moved his nose again and smelled a faint fragrance in the air, and this fragrance was very special.
, not only did it smell extremely good, it even seemed to have a refreshing and uplifting effect. The moment the fragrance entered his nose, Li Qing felt his whole body was shaken.
"This scent is..."
Li Qing immediately looked towards the direction where the fragrance came from upstream of the river. At this time, another gust of breeze blew from the upper reaches of the river, mixed with a strange fragrance, which was a bit stronger than before. The fragrance entered his nose, and Li Qing immediately felt
Everyone shivered, and an indescribable feeling of relief washed over the whole body. The original hard work and fatigue seemed to be swept away in an instant, and I felt that my energy and energy were fuller than ever before.
Immediately, Li Qing picked up the small hoe and carried the basket on his back. Li Qing followed the direction of the scent and headed upstream of the river.
A few minutes later, we were in a small forest by the river.
"This is ginseng!"
Li Qing stood under a small tree and found the source of the fragrance. In his sight, he saw a ginseng lying motionless on the ground.
Yes, it means lying on the ground motionless like a human being. Moreover, its body is crystal clear and white, and its shape is more like a little person. Its nose, eyes, and mouth are all sprouted, and the whole body reveals a human face. Look.
It looked a little cute, and the fragrance he smelled before was coming from the ginseng in front of him. Now that he was close, he could feel the fragrance hitting his nostrils.
Li Qing was stunned on the spot, his heart was shocked and horrified. The ginseng in front of him really looked too incredible. Both its shape and appearance and the fragrance it exuded far exceeded ordinary people's understanding of ginseng.
Encountered a monster!
This was the first thought that came to Li Qing's mind, and he even had the urge to turn around and run away immediately. However, he suppressed this urge because he thought of some things he had heard about ginseng becoming essence.
As he spoke, his eyes gradually became fiery.
Although there are not many stories about how ginseng can turn into essence, the contents of the stories all emphasize the value of ginseng essence, its medicinal effect of bringing the dead back to life, eating it can lead to immortality, prolong life, etc. In short, it can completely turn people into essence.
The effect of the medicine has become an all-powerful miracle medicine.
And most importantly, the human spirit is the least dangerous spirit among all the spirit legends.
Other ghost legends are all about monsters that eat people, but only the ginseng spirit is said to have almost no other dangers except that it can burrow into the ground and run fast.
Therefore, after a brief shock, Li Qing's expression was slowly replaced by heat. No matter whether the thing in front of him was ginseng essence or not, and whether ginseng essence was as magical as the legend said, it was closely related to the relationship between ginseng and ginseng.
From its appearance and aroma, Li Qing could be sure that this ginseng essence was of immeasurable value, and it might even be able to cure his father's illness.
Grasp!
After a brief thought, Li Qing made an instant decision, and slowly arched his body, staring at the ginseng essence, and tiptoed over.
squeak!
On the ground, Ginseng Jing, who was lying sleeping and basking in the sun, suddenly woke up, screamed, opened his eyes suddenly, and stood up from the ground.
Oops!
Seeing the ginseng essence wake up, Li Qing's expression suddenly changed. He was still seven or eight meters away from the ginseng essence at this time. He didn't have time to think about it, and he directly hit the ginseng essence with the small hoe in his hand.
ah!
Ginseng Essence screamed in surprise, like a child, and burrowed into the soil with a swish of his body.
puff!
The small hoe flew over and failed to hit the entire ginseng essence directly, but it did break off a small section of ginseng that was about the length of a finger and the head of a chopstick.
After being attacked, the ginseng spirit immediately did not dare to stay any longer, so he got into the ground and fled directly.
Li Qing also ran up quickly and picked up the small hoe and the small ginseng beard on the ground, his face full of annoyance and regret.
But looking at the finger-length ginseng whiskers in my hand and smelling the fragrance on them, I felt better again.
At least it's not nothing.
Then Li Qing searched around again. After seeing that he couldn't find any trace of ginseng essence, it was already getting late, so he had no choice but to return.
At the same time, Bamboo Grove Garden.
"Zhizhi——" "Zhizhi——"
On the stone table in the forest, the ginseng essence was jumping up and down, chattering non-stop to Bai Ji. While talking, he pointed at a broken ginseng beard on his face, with a look of grievance on his face.
color.
"What's going on?"
Lin Tianqi couldn't understand what Ginseng Jing said, so Lin Tianqi looked at Bai Ji and said.
"Just now, it was sleeping outside in the woods and basking in the sun. It met someone. The person grabbed it, injured it, and lost a piece of ginseng whisker..."
Bai Ji said, because she planted the soul restraint spell on the ginseng essence, she could hear the meaning of the ginseng essence.
"Meet someone?!"
Lin Tianqi couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this. Apart from them, there was no trace of anyone in their deep mountains and old forests.
"Will it?"
Lin Tianqi looked at Bai Ji with a somewhat thoughtful look on his face. Bai Ji had a premonition that this breakthrough would be doomed, and now someone suddenly appeared in this forest, Lin Tianqi couldn't help but think about it.
"Probably not, just ordinary people."
Bai Ji shook her head.
Lin Tianqi nodded immediately after hearing this. If they were just ordinary people, it really shouldn't be possible. Unless enemies in the third realm of mortal transformation appeared, there would be no possibility of any threat to them.
"Then what are you going to do about this?"
Lin Tianqi asked again.
"That's it for now. I plan to make a breakthrough the day after tomorrow. We'll talk about other things later." Bai Ji said.
Lin Tianqi nodded immediately after hearing this. Indeed, for them, the most important thing at the moment is Bai Ji's breakthrough, and the ginseng essence is not too important. It's just a piece of ginseng that fell off. Ten and a half days
It can be made up in a few months, so it’s not a big deal.
"Zhizhi——"
Listening to the conversation between Lin Tianqi and Bai Ji, Ginseng Jing immediately screamed and looked at Bai Ji with a wronged expression on his face, like a child complaining to his parents.
"If you let you run around, you will suffer the consequences. You will stay in Zhuyuan for the next few days and you are not allowed to go anywhere."
Bai Ji shouted directly at the ginseng essence with a cold face. She looked like an elder scolding a junior.
The ginseng spirit immediately shrank his head in fear, and looked at Lin Tianqi out of the corner of his eye, only to see Lin Tianqi grinning and saying regretfully.
"If I had known that someone was going to take out a ginseng whisker, I might as well have just cut it for soup."
Upon hearing this, Ginseng Jing's small face and eyes were suddenly replaced by panic, and with a squeak, she jumped off the stone table and ran away.

Sunset over Xishan, Baima Town, Li Family Medical Shop.
"Dad, drink this bowl of medicine."
Li Qing walked into the room carrying the decoction in a bowl and said to a man on the bed who looked haggard and skinny in his forties or fifties. It was Li Qing's father, Li Yi.
"Hey, okay." On the bed, Li Yi struggled to sit up with his hands on the bed, and it seemed a little difficult. Li Qing's mother Tian Lan next to him quickly walked to the bed to help support Li Yi.
Due to a serious illness, Li Yi had difficulty moving his legs and was slowly beginning to become paralyzed.
"Hey, what kind of medicine is it? It smells so good."
However, as soon as Li Qing walked in, Li Yi and Tian Lan were shocked when they smelled the fragrance of the medicine in the medicine bowl.
"This is the new medicine I picked on the mountain today. Dad, please drink it while it's hot."
Li Qing said without saying much on this issue. In fact, the decoction was stewed with a small section of the thumb-length ginseng root that he had obtained earlier.
Li Yi didn't ask any questions after hearing this. He took the medicine bowl and started drinking it.
However, after the decoction was taken down, Li Yi soon felt something extraordinary. The moment the decoction was taken down, Li Yi felt that a warm current gathered in his stomach, and then spread to his whole body and limbs, especially his hands, which had difficulty moving.
His feet, which had been slowly numb and paralyzed for a long time, were now wrapped in that warm current, which actually made him feel faintly.
The next day, people in Baima Town were surprised to find that Li Yi, who had been bedridden for more than a year with almost paralyzed legs, could actually get out of bed and walk. Everyone in Baima Town was surprised.
Then, an astonishing news spread. The reason why Li Yi was able to get out of bed and walk again was because his son encountered ginseng essence in the mountains and got a section of ginseng essence, which cured Li Yi. As soon as this news spread,
When it opened, everyone in Baima Town was shocked.
