Of course, there are also many very special plants.

Li Yao saw a betel nut tree during her teleportation.

The straight trunk of the betel nut tree is covered with betel nuts, although many people have mixed opinions about chewing betel nuts.

Some medical media outlets have previously publicized the dangers of chewing betel nuts.

However, according to records, betel nut is indeed a useful Chinese medicinal material. According to the Compendium of Materia Medica, it can eliminate all wind and all qi, and promote the function of internal organs.

Areca nut has the effects of killing parasites, eliminating food stagnation, promoting qi circulation, diuresis, and treating malaria. It can be used as medicine for tapeworm disease, ascariasis, fascioliasis, abdominal pain due to intestinal parasites, diarrhea due to food stagnation, tenesmus, edema, beriberi, malaria, etc.

The areca nut here is a beneficial mutation, meaning that when this mutated areca nut is used in medicine, its medicinal effects will increase according to the level of the superpower.

Besides betel nut, there is also nutmeg.

Nutmeg is a food with both medicinal and culinary uses; it can be used as a seasoning and is also a common Chinese medicinal herb.

Nutmeg has the effects of warming the middle jiao and astringing the intestines, promoting qi circulation and aiding digestion. It can relieve symptoms such as diarrhea, dysentery, abdominal distension and pain, and indigestion.

The mutated nutmeg has a richer aroma, and its medicinal properties are more pronounced, increasing with the user's ability level.

Neither of them is aggressive, but they have a pungent odor, so much of the fruit is still intact.

Li Yao collected a little bit of each fruit and dug up a strange plant, wanting to see if this ability would increase in the spiritual spring space.

In addition, there are wild red Ganoderma lucidum, chicken blood vine, Litsea cubeba, Coptis chinensis, dried stone silkworm, *Smilax china*, Dendrobium, *Antiaris toxicaria*, Maytenus, Eucommia ulmoides, Alpinia officinarum, Lysimachia christinae, *Gynostemma pentaphyllum*, *Gentiana macrophylla*, Vitex trifolia, Paris polyphylla, kapok, etc.

There is also Amomum villosum, one of the four major southern Chinese medicinal herbs, known as a "bone-dissolving medicine".

Amomum villosum, one of the four major southern Chinese medicinal herbs, is the fruit of a tropical and subtropical ginger family plant, and its fruit has a rather strange appearance.

When the fruit is ripe, the cardamom is an oval-shaped purplish-red fruit. Once it dries, the surface will have uneven brown soft thorns, which make the cardamom look like a stone covered with sand.

Because of its unusual shape, cardamom was historically known as "shrunken cardamom" or "shrunken cardamom honey".

Amomum villosum has a 1300-year history of medicinal use, and there are many records of its medicinal effects, mainly including harmonizing the stomach, eliminating undigested food, relieving abdominal pain, relieving chest congestion, and regulating the spleen.

The mutated cardamom was much larger. Li Yao was wandering around when she saw so many large, purplish-red fruits on the ground, as well as some stones that looked like they were covered in sand. She wondered where the sand came from on the mountain.

Upon closer inspection, it was identified as Amomum villosum. Using mental power to sense it also revealed unusual energy fluctuations, prompting the system to announce: "[Amomum villosum has mutated, but it's a beneficial mutation, resulting in stronger medicinal effects. Its medicinal properties increase with level.]"

Of course, the most peculiar thing is a traditional Chinese medicine called "Anti-blood-sealing throat".

Antiaris toxicaria, also known as arrow poison tree, is mostly found in rainforests below 1500 meters above sea level. It is a tree that grows to a height of 25-40 meters and a diameter at breast height of 30-40 centimeters.

It has milky white sap, gray bark, and flowers in spring. It is a Class III protected plant in China, and is both highly poisonous and used in traditional medicine.

The milky white sap of the arrow poison tree is highly poisonous. Once it comes into contact with wounds on humans or animals, it can cause cardiac paralysis (caused by arrhythmia), blockage of blood vessels, blood clotting, and even suffocation and death. Therefore, it is known as "the tree that seals the throat upon contact with blood".

However, it also has medicinal value. It consists of the tree's sap and seeds.

The fruit is harvested in summer, the seeds are removed and dried; or the latex is extracted and dried.

Fresh tree sap is used for: cardiotonic, emetic, laxative, anesthetic, and externally to treat lymph node tuberculosis.

Seeds: Antipyretic. Mainly used for dysentery.

After the mutation, its sap turns red and becomes poisonous, making it unsuitable for medicinal use. However, the medicinal properties of its seeds are enhanced, increasing with the level of its special ability.

The system couldn't explain the principles behind some plant mutations either, but after the Blood-Sealing Throat Plant mutated, its sap became twice as toxic, and it was surrounded by dead ants, insects, and poisonous tongues, which terrified Li Yao.
