"Then why did you tell me this news? Aren't you afraid I'll take the blood ginseng away?"
Lin Xiaofei asked in confusion.
"Brother Lin, do you really think that 450-year-old blood ginseng is so easy to take away?"
To tell you the truth, that blood ginseng is guarded by a late-stage Tier 1 Snow Leopard; it's not something a Qi Refining Level 9 cultivator like you can take.
Unless you are a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, you might have a sliver of hope, but during today's hunt, I have already learned of Brother Lin's strength.
"Now I'll tell you what you want to know, shouldn't you give me five thousand low-grade spirit stones?"
Liu Zhixiang smiled and said.
"You think my spirit stones are so easy to take?"
"Take me to the top of Snow Mist Mountain first. I'll give you the spirit stones after I see the hundred-year-old blood ginseng, okay?"
After thinking for a moment, Lin Xiaofei spoke directly.
"Okay, shall we say hello to the leader of the group and then return to Snow Demon Ridge?"
Liu Zhixiang said.
Lin Xiaofei nodded and agreed.
He had been inquiring for almost twenty days but had not found any information about plants older than several hundred years. He then thought that he should cultivate the blood ginseng in the space bead, which had been cultivated for almost fifty years, for a few more months so that it could be used to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Unexpectedly, during the hunt today, he met Senior Brother Liu from Little Fire Peak. It seemed as if they were destined to meet, as Liu had now shared such good news with him.
Although the other party believed that it was impossible for him to obtain the Blood Ginseng from a late-stage first-tier demon beast, he knew in his heart that he already possessed the strength of the early-stage Foundation Establishment realm, and could even contend with a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Therefore, he felt that there was still some hope of taking a blood ginseng that was several hundred years old from a late-stage first-tier demon beast.
"If I obtain that 450-year-old blood ginseng this time, I will cultivate it carefully in the space bead."
It's best to sprinkle in a large amount of spirit stone powder; this will allow it to quickly grow to over five hundred years old.
Soon, Lin Xiaofei and Liu Zhixiang were walking together on the road to Xuewu Mountain, thinking to themselves.
It would be somewhat difficult to cultivate spiritual plants that are hundreds of years old, given the black soil of his low-grade spiritual field in his spatial pearl, unless he scattered no less than 50,000 low-grade spirit stones to supply the blood ginseng for absorption.
Fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones were a huge fortune for him.
Silently thinking, he gritted his teeth and made a decision: once he returned to White Snow Peak, he would definitely do a lot of tasks in Spirit Plant Valley to earn a large number of spirit stones.
Snow Mist Mountain is located at the easternmost edge of Snow Demon Ridge, about thirty miles away, with only one winding snow mountain road.
Although this is a snow-covered mountain, there are many Green Spirit Trees in the snow-covered mountain, and on the Green Spirit Trees, which are hundreds of meters high, there are many snow eagle beasts, and in the snow, there are white bear beasts hidden.
This winding, snowy mountain road was not difficult for Lin Xiaofei to travel.
However, instead of taking the snow mountain path, he ventured directly into the snow mountain slope, intending to collect some low-level spiritual herbs along the way.
"Brother Lin, why do we insist on venturing into the snow-capped mountains and forests when we have the main road?"
Liu Zhixiang, standing behind Lin Xiaofei, frowned and asked curiously.
He originally planned to take Lin Xiaofei along that snowy mountain road, and even set up a formation on that road in advance so that it would be difficult for Lin Xiaofei to escape once he went there.
Who would have thought that Lin Xiaofei would head into the snow-covered forest? Wouldn't that make him vulnerable to attacks from hidden beasts?
"It is said that there are many low-grade spiritual herbs in this Snow Demon Ridge, but few people pick them."
"Since we're heading towards the summit of Snow Mist Mountain, we might as well gather some low-grade spiritual herbs from this snow forest. Besides, I can't go back empty-handed if I don't find the blood ginseng you mentioned."
Lin Xiaofei said calmly.
"All right!"
Liu Zhixiang smiled, but inwardly he became anxious, unsure how to persuade Lin Xiaofei to take the winding, snowy mountain path.
"We've been waiting on this snowy mountain road for two hours, and Senior Brother Liu still hasn't lured Lin Xiaofei over? Could it be that Senior Brother Liu has taken the wrong path?"
In the woods on one side of Snow Mountain Road, a young cultivator whispered to the people beside him.
"Don't rush, wait a little longer."
A middle-aged cultivator hesitated for a moment before speaking calmly.
Along the way, Liu Zhixiang repeatedly told Lin Xiaofei to hurry up and get to the top of Xuewu Mountain, or to take the snow mountain road, but Lin Xiaofei was not in a hurry at all and explored forward in the snow mountain forest on his own.
"The summit of Xuewu Mountain is not far ahead."
Soon, two figures arrived at the edge of the Snow Mist Mountain, and Lin Xiaofei said something.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei flashed forward, his speed suddenly increasing, and he sped towards the mountaintop.
This time, regardless of whether there really is a blood ginseng in the snow-covered mountaintop, he will search for it himself. In order to find the blood ginseng quickly, he will leave Liu Zhixiang behind.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Half an hour later, suddenly, the sound of fighting came from ahead. Lin Xiaofei quickly stopped and used his Illusionary Eye Technique to scan the area.
In the distance, amidst the snow-covered forest, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator and a late-stage Tier 1 Snow Leopard were locked in fierce combat.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sounds of clashing spells could be heard intermittently in the snow, the forest, and the void.
"That cultivator seems to be from Little Fire Peak."
With a single glance, Lin Xiaofei could tell the cultivator's background just by looking at his clothes. His expression changed, and he muttered to himself, "..."
Could Liu Zhixiang be lying to me? Are their people actually already here searching for blood ginseng?
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei suddenly sped up, bypassing the cultivator and the snow leopard, and arrived at a snow-covered forest behind them, where he quickly began searching.
The summit of Xuewu Mountain covers an area of at least fifty li, and Lin Xiaofei searched the entire area.
A dozen minutes later, Lin Xiaofei stood on the edge of the cliff at the top of the mountain. His eyes lit up. He saw a plant with a blood-red body and hundreds of roots, like five fingers, rooted in a crack in the rock that was more than ten meters long.
"We've finally found the blood ginseng."
Lin Xiaofei's eyes flickered, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he took a deep breath.
At the same time, he heard the sounds of fighting disappear from the snow-covered forest behind him, and he was startled, knowing that the fight between the cultivator and the snow leopard might have stopped.
Perhaps that cultivator is on his way.
Without hesitation, Lin Xiaofei leaped down, landing on the rocks on the side of the cliff, and quickly descended to a crevice in the rocks a hundred meters below.
"This blood ginseng is crystal clear. Judging from the number of roots, it should be over 480 years old. It is of excellent quality."
Lin Xiaofei stretched out a hand, touched the blood-red root, muttered something under his breath, and then quickly dug it out and threw it into the spatial bead.
