"Finally, I've made some progress!" Jiang An stared at the faintly glowing plant crystal in his palm, pondering to himself.
"Little turtle, tell your mother quickly, where did you find it?"
A series of clear "coo~coo~" sounds rang out, and the little turtle suddenly dashed off in a certain direction, with Jiang An following closely behind.
Upon closer inspection, Jiang An suddenly realized, "Oh, so this is the place!"
It turned out that the incomparably precious plant crystal was hidden in the heart of that thick vine, with some withered branches and fallen leaves scattered around it.
The essence of plants and crystals is like the inner core of a vine, containing all its vital energy.
Before long, all twelve emerald-green and crystal-clear stones fell into Jiang An's possession. She placed them one by one into an exquisite wooden box and wrote four powerful characters on the lid: "Grass and Wood Crystal Stones".
Then, she placed the wooden box full of treasures gently into a small storage shelf in her storage ring, a shelf specifically for storing items.
She already owns many small wooden boxes like these, each with the name of its contents clearly marked on its surface.
Jiang An did not leave, but continued to search the area carefully, but the result was very disappointing, with no new discoveries.
At this point, she could only give up on the idea completely.
"Alright, alright, since that's the case, let's hurry up and set off, little turtle! Come on, let's go dig for ginseng!"
In the blink of an eye, the man and the tortoise, following the rich aroma of ginseng that filled the air, traveled without stopping and arrived at their final destination.
What appeared before me was a medicinal garden of moderate size, lush and verdant, with tender and vibrant ginseng plants everywhere, neatly and uniformly gathered in the same garden as if they had been carefully cultivated.
However, the place was deserted, with no signs of human activity. Why would the ginseng appear in such a state?
This question lingered in Jiang An's mind for only a brief moment before she quickly dismissed it.
After all, a more pressing matter lay before them—another swarm of dense vines was surging toward them like a tidal wave.
Fortunately, both Jiang An and Little Turtle had gained valuable experience from their previous battles.
Faced with this new wave of attacks, they worked in perfect harmony, their movements skillful and agile. Before long, they successfully defeated all the vines and obtained 10 plant crystals.
From then on, Jiang An encountered no further obstacles on his path of ginseng discovery.
"Little Turtle, you're in charge of standing guard around the perimeter and keeping an eye out for anything unusual! I'm going to dig up some ginseng!" Jiang An paused, then looked at Little Turtle with a serious expression and said.
"No problem, Mom! I promise I'll complete the mission!" The little turtle puffed out its chest and replied confidently.
After receiving the little turtle's affirmative answer, Jiang An happily rushed into the herb garden.
Like a graceful butterfly, she flew straight to that lush green corner, where the largest and most eye-catching ginseng plant in the garden stood.
In fact, the moment she stepped into the herb garden, her eyes were immediately drawn to this ginseng, and her heart was filled with longing and anticipation for it.
Jiang An took out a bright red hair tie from his storage ring and gently tied it to a ginseng leaf.
After completing these preparations, she immediately took out a small, exquisite shovel and began to dig with complete concentration.
Because Jiang An possessed superb advanced gathering skills, the entire process proceeded very smoothly and efficiently.
Before long, the much-anticipated six-leaf ginseng was presented to her intact.
After careful examination, Jiang An was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was a rare ginseng that had undergone a century of weathering.
Jiang An thought to himself, if this ginseng that has been refined over a hundred years were made into a Purple Gold Pill, its medicinal effects would surely be earth-shattering!
While it may not be as miraculous as the legendary ability to bring the dead back to life or regenerate flesh from bones, preserving one's life should not be difficult.
The moment she dug this incredibly precious ginseng out of the soil, she held it in her hands and examined it closely. After a long while, she placed it in an exquisite wooden box and carefully stored it in her storage ring.
Then, the second plant, the third plant... until all the ginseng in the entire medicinal garden was dug up by Jiang An.
After carefully counting them, she was pleasantly surprised to find that there were a total of 54 plants!
Among these ginsengs, the rarest and most expensive is undoubtedly the top-grade ginseng with a history of 100 years. As for the others, they are 50, 20, 10 and 5 years old respectively.
In addition, a considerable number of seeds were harvested.
In this way, Jiang An will no longer have to worry about the Zijin Pill lacking key medicinal ingredients in the short term.
Finally, she diligently dug up a large amount of fertile soil on this land that nurtured ginseng.
Once her ship reaches level six, it will be larger, naturally freeing up more space to grow precious herbs.
Jiang Anxin contentedly put the soil into a compartment of his backpack.
Because the storage ring in her hand has expanded to four cubic meters, and is no longer restricted by the types of items it contains.
So she placed all the relatively simple weapons that didn't take up too much space, as well as the unique special items, into her storage ring.
As a result, many usable compartments were now available inside her backpack, which could be put to good use for carrying a large number of various items.
This is exactly what came in handy!
Used to hold items that are of low value but useful.
"Alright, let's go, little turtle!" Jiang An gently patted the mud off his body, then slowly stood up and said with a smile.
"Okay, Mom!" the little turtle replied happily.
Immediately afterwards, Jiang An nimbly leaped lightly and landed steadily on the little turtle's broad and sturdy back, continuing his journey into the mysterious depths of the rainforest.
It must be said that this vast and boundless rainforest does indeed appear quite eerie and peculiar, leaving people in awe.
Surprisingly, during this long journey, they did not see a single large wild beast.
Instead, small and exquisite wild animals, such as pheasants and rabbits, can be seen everywhere.
At this moment, these ordinary little prey were hardly of any interest to her, let alone worth spending her precious time chasing and catching.
Moreover, this place is covered with countless dense vines!
Indeed, Jiang An had already realized that this vast rainforest seemed to have completely fallen into the territory of the vines.
Unfortunately, these vines seemed unaware of the profound meaning of "fish out of a dry rut," devouring all the large beasts within, leaving only a ground covered in pale skeletons.
Besides eliminating the vines they encountered, the man and the tortoise also gained other things along the way.
