But after three batches of Zijinwan (a type of glutinous rice ball) were cooked, not a single shop owner responded to the message.

So she decided to change her strategy, no longer focusing solely on finding ginseng, but instead trying to find fertile soil and cultivate ginseng by synthesizing land.

Of course, she would never miss an opportunity if someone was willing to sell ready-made ginseng.

After all, it takes time to grow ginseng.

Sure enough, Jiang An found 10 portions of fertile soil on it in no time.

She immediately created two fertile plots of land.

She planted ginseng seeds all over the top.

I went up to the deck and looked at the misty sky.

Jiang An decided to go to sea again on the next trip. After all, the ship had sailed more than 100 kilometers and must have arrived at a new sea area where new discoveries might be found.

"Come on, little turtle. Let's go explore the seabed!" Jiang An said to the little turtle with a smile.

Upon hearing that they were going to the seabed again, the little turtle's eyes lit up with excitement, and it eagerly jumped into the sea, swimming quickly to show its joy.

After Jiang An jumped into the sea, he discovered that the seabed was different from before. As the depth increased, the seawater became darker and darker.

Soon, her vision began to be impaired, making it difficult for her to see her surroundings clearly.

So she rummaged through her backpack and finally found a miner's lamp.

She put on her headlamp and turned it on, and instantly the underwater view became clear.

Jiang An cautiously scuba-dived into the depths of the sea, and the little turtle seemed to sense something and followed closely beside her.

Soon, they discovered a dense patch of seaweed; seaweed was everywhere they could see.

"Gurgle, gurgle!" Suddenly, a little turtle's anxious voice echoed in Jiang An's mind.

"What's wrong?" Jiang An turned his head in confusion, following the little turtle's gaze.

A huge turtle suddenly appeared among the seaweed, which surprised Jiang An.

Jiang An stopped and stood still, while the little turtle beside him had already rushed forward impatiently.

Having finally seen a turtle that resembled itself, how could it not be curious?

The little turtle rushed straight towards the huge turtle, as if it wanted to find out what was going on with it.

Jiang An did not stop the little turtle, but simply observed it quietly from the side.

However, the way she gripped her weapon revealed her inner tension.

Although the turtle looked similar to the baby turtle, she knew they were not the same species and it was difficult to tell whether it was friend or foe.

Soon, Jiang An realized that this turtle was neither an enemy nor a friend. The little turtle ran up to the big turtle and began to mutter to itself.

Jiang An, as its owner who was in perfect harmony with the turtle, was unable to understand what the little turtle was saying. Perhaps it was a language unique to turtles.

Judging from the big turtle's expression, it seemed a little impatient, but it was being pestered by the little turtle. However, it did not lose its temper or show any fierceness.

After a while, the little turtle excitedly ran back to Jiang An's side and shouted happily, "Baby, let's go find the baby!"

Then, it swam back to the giant turtle.

Another round of whispering ensued.

Soon, the large turtle began to move, slowly swimming in one direction.

The little turtle followed behind, not forgetting to turn its head and signal to Jiang An to follow.

She then understood what the little turtle and the big turtle had been whispering about—they wanted the big turtle to lead them to find treasure. They just didn't know what that treasure was.

Thinking of this, Jiang An took a deep breath and followed. Unlike the little turtle's cheerful demeanor, she remained vigilant throughout, wary of any unexpected events that might occur.

The big turtle was slow, and the little turtle was just as slow. Jiang An was left anxiously watching from behind.

They didn't know how much time had passed. They walked through a patch of seaweed and stopped at a rocky outcrop.

Soon, the giant turtle made a "gurgling" sound and then slowly swam back the way they came.

Jiang Anyou stepped forward and looked at the scene before her. She finally understood why she had come to this sea rock area: because there was a mine here.

She swam around the sea rocks, secretly marveling at the abundance of mineral resources within.

Soon, the man and the tortoise were busy working, panting and groaning.

Iron ore, coal ore, copper ore, gold ore, etc.

"I'm rich! I'm rich!" Jiang An muttered excitedly as he continued to dig for ore.

She had never seen such a huge mineral vein before, and her heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

She didn't know how long she had been digging, only that time had flown by.

Before we knew it, the sky outside had turned completely dark, and the roars of marine life could be heard from the seabed.

These sounds made Jiang An feel uneasy; she knew there would be more dangers in the seabed at night.

However, she could not calm down when faced with the mountain of ore in front of her.

Each piece of ore was like a tempting little fairy, luring her to continue digging.

She kept telling herself, "Just two more pieces, then I'll leave. Just two more pieces, then I'll leave..."

She continued digging until most of the vein was emptied, leaving only some ore deep within the mine shafts that was too difficult to extract.

Finally, she reluctantly left the mine with the little turtle.

When she returned to the ship, recalling what had just happened, she couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

In pursuit of profit, she disregarded her own safety.

Fortunately, they did not encounter any attacks from large animals along the way, which made her realize that the giant turtle that had led them must have been very powerful, and might even have been the overlord of this sea area.

Its ability to protect them from other animals is truly amazing.

If they weren't both turtles, they wouldn't have been so safe in the mine.

Jiang An benefited from the little turtle's presence this time; it was worth all the hard work she put into raising it.

She stroked the little turtle's head, thinking happily.

After dinner, Jiang An, who was full and relaxed for the first time, turned on the light screen and went directly to the regional channel.

Check out some useful information.

The regional channels were as lively as ever.

"The weather is getting colder and colder. That big shot is selling wood blocks and offering high prices to buy them!"

"Damn it, this awful weather, is it even meant to be lived in?!"

"A big shot has a large quantity of wood, but unfortunately he's hoarding it and not selling it in stores. He's selling it all privately at high prices!"

"I know a big shot who has some wooden blocks, but unfortunately I can't afford them; they all require special items!"
