After finally graduating from university, she booked a tour group to 'reward' herself for years of hard study, but unexpectedly ran into falling rocks and was killed. Her wonderful life had...
"Master, could you come here for a moment?"
After Master Wan and Erbing went to sleep, Heijiao and Lin Xue secretly went to find their master.
"It's so late, why aren't you all asleep yet?"
Li Chuandao looked at his two young apprentices with a strange expression, but still followed them to Lin Xue's room.
"Master, my junior sister and I dug this up while we were searching for zombies!"
"We think this ginseng root is quite large, so it must be very old!"
"This should be worth quite a few dollars, right?"
Heijiao took out the ginseng wrapped in a handkerchief.
I didn't realize how thick this ginseng was when I was in the mountains, but after bringing it home and shining a light on it, I discovered that it was truly thick.
Even though they've been picked for so long, they're still very fresh and juicy.
"Did you dig this up while you were looking for zombies?"
Oh my god!
What incredible luck did my two little apprentices have?
Such a large ginseng root, let alone going into the mountains in the middle of the night, you might not even be able to dig it up in broad daylight.
How come these two disciples got to experience such a good thing?
"Our junior sister found it, and we just dug it up and brought it back!"
Hei Jiao glanced smugly at his junior sister. He hadn't realized it before, but ever since she agreed to come out with them, he discovered that his timid junior sister was truly lucky.
"Little apprentice, how did you find this ginseng?"
Li Chuandao carefully held the large ginseng root, then looked at Lin Xue in disbelief.
I never realized this apprentice had such a lucky charm constitution before.
Does that mean that as children grow up and become more sensible, their luck will also improve?
Li Chuandao didn't know, but holding this large ginseng root, he knew that the lives of the master and his disciples would no longer be as tight as before.
"I found this giant ginseng by smelling a wonderful medicinal aroma!"
"Master, have you forgotten? I have a wood spirit root, so naturally I can sense these plant spirits!"
Lin Xue had already prepared an excuse for herself on her way back.
Regardless of whether the Wood Spirit Root can actually connect with precious medicinal herbs, she can indeed sense the location of those treasures.
Of course... it relies on spiritual power!
"Oh, by the way, Xiaoxue, you have a wood elemental root!"
"No wonder none of us noticed such a huge ginseng root by the roadside, but you found it!"
Hearing Lin Xue say this, Li Chuandao had no doubts whatsoever.
He felt that it was time to find a suitable cultivation method for his little apprentice.
In the past, without resources or money, it was impossible to find a cultivation technique with the wood element for my apprentice.
This ginseng is at least 500 years old. If I sold it, I could probably exchange it for a cultivation manual.
Li Chuandao pondered this and began to consider which senior or junior brother or sister might possess a suitable cultivation technique for his young disciple.
"Master, actually, when I was on the mountain, I also sensed the fragrance of herbs in several other places!"
"But everyone was too busy looking for zombies to say anything!"
Seeing her master's absent-minded appearance, Lin Xue knew that her master was considering purchasing cultivation resources for them.
Don't be fooled by their ability to catch ghosts and exorcise demons, and their supposed magical powers; in reality, it takes a lot of energy!
Aside from food and clothing, he invested all the money he earned into spiritual practice.
Since they are short of money, Lin Xue will find more precious medicinal herbs.
Whether these medicinal herbs are used to improve their cultivation or exchanged for other suitable supplies depends on Master's consideration.
"Since there are still treasures in the mountains, I'll take you there again tomorrow!"
"But this is Brother Wan's territory after all. When we go to find treasures, we might have to share some with him!"
Li Chuandao and Wan Daozhang were close brothers and often practiced together when they were at the mountain gate.
Now that we've unearthed treasures from my junior brother's territory, it would be somewhat unreasonable not to share some with him.
"Master, let's go early tomorrow. I can ask my senior brother to hunt some game for me while we're at it. I'm getting a little tired of eating only vegetarian food three times a day..."
Lin Xue pursed her lips, too embarrassed to admit that she was craving meat.
But not only her, I bet everyone is craving it.
"Alright, tomorrow I'll have your two senior brothers hunt meat for you, and I'll take you to find medicinal herbs!"
After saying that, Li Chuandao took the large ginseng root and left.
This ginseng has been dug up for several hours and must be processed immediately.
Otherwise, if too much of the medicinal efficacy is lost, it won't fetch a good price.
Early the next morning.
Master Wan specially bought them some local specialty breakfast items.
After everyone finished eating, Master Wan began preparing for the cremation of the old zombie.
Furthermore, this old zombie wasn't some wild monster from the mountains; it was the ancestor of a wealthy family in the town.
He must personally be present when the funeral rites are performed and the body is cremated in preparation for the funeral.
Originally, Li Chuandao was going to take his three apprentices to the mountains to dig for medicinal herbs, but he was warmly invited by his junior brother and had no choice but to go with him to town to preside over the funeral.
"My little apprentice, we'll have to postpone what we discussed last night until tomorrow!"
"If that old zombie isn't cremated soon, it'll probably keep coming out to cause trouble. We also need to go and help the Gu family!"
Li Chuandao explained to Lin Xue somewhat embarrassedly that he had agreed to something last night, but changed his mind today, and he felt a little ashamed to say it.
However, he couldn't refuse his junior brother either, especially since his junior brother had given him half of the benefits. It would be too disrespectful of him not to go.
"Master, that thing is in the mountains, it won't get lost, it doesn't matter if it's a day earlier or later!"
