Mangshan was far more vast than Shen had imagined.
Based on actual measurements taken several hours before the sinking and converted according to the scale on the map, the length of Mangshan is at least over a thousand kilometers.
The longest existing mountain range in China is the Kunlun Mountains, which are only 2,500 kilometers long, while the Mangshan Mountains are nearly half of that.
On this ancient map, which is several meters long, Mangshan is just a tiny grain of rice, inconspicuous.
This made Shen Qian gasp.
Compared to the prominent marking of the Kunlun Mountains on modern maps, the land area in ancient times is simply too exaggerated!
Even Shen Qian couldn't help but wonder if he was still on Earth.
At least from the map, he couldn't see any resemblance whatsoever.
But if not, how did the human race migrate from this vast ancient region to the later Earth?
Or perhaps, this is the Eurasian continent before the movement of tectonic plates?
But it still doesn't seem to match.
Unable to figure out what was going on for a moment, Chen Qian could only put his questions aside for the time being.
He followed closely behind the Moon Falcon, traversing through the mountains and forests.
Only occasionally would he make Moon Falcon wait a moment, and then, to Moon Falcon's astonishment, he would plunge directly into the nearby forest. When he came out again, he would be holding all sorts of strangely shaped plants in his hands.
The Moon Falcon was incredibly awe-inspiring.
Having followed the Yuezhi people since childhood, Yuejun often went into the mountains with the chieftain to collect herbs. Although she can only make some simple prescriptions so far, the knowledge of alchemy is so vast that she has tried her best to learn it, but due to time constraints, she can only be considered a beginner.
However... this does not affect Moonhawk's knowledge of various elixirs.
Shen Qian collected over a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs in just one hour, and she couldn't even name more than 60% of them.
Even the rest she had seen were rare medicinal herbs that the clan leader would carefully treasure, the kind that might only be encountered once every few years.
However, she witnessed Shen Qian mutter something like "I can't fit any more," and then, with a heart-wrenching look in her eyes, she threw a sky vine that was half a person tall off the cliff...
Gods above, that's a heavenly vine!
She still remembers when she was a child, the clan chief collected a calf-high azure vine and marveled at it for days, saying it was a "rare and precious gift".
But before it was settled, it was discarded like worn-out shoes simply because it couldn't be taken.
However, Yuejun couldn't accuse him of anything, because even though Yuejun couldn't name the remaining spiritual herbs in his hands, he could tell from their rich, intoxicating fragrance and the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy that they were all high-grade spiritual herbs that were even rarer than the Azure Vine!
If Yuejun hadn't traveled with Shenqian along the way, he would never have believed that there were so many mature spiritual herbs in the Python Mountain.
It even gave the moon falcon the illusion that it was "everywhere".
Shocked, Yuejun didn't even dwell too much on the fact that Chen Qian also possessed a spatial artifact.
But when she saw Shen Qian discard the spiritual herbs for the third or fourth time, Yue Jun finally couldn't hold back anymore. Ignoring the clan leader's instructions, she secretly used her spatial artifact to collect the spiritual herbs that Shen Qian had thrown away.
The spoils she gleaned in just half an hour were equivalent to the total harvest of the Great Yue Clan over the past twenty years!
With these medicinal herbs, one wonders how many good things they could exchange for from those traveling merchants.
Although she was leading the way, if it weren't for the clan's crisis, she would have even hoped that the two of them could continue wandering in the mountains like this.
Not much more, just one more full day, and the entire clan could live comfortably for three years, without needing to hunt or venture out on adventures...
While Yuejun was filled with boundless dreams, Shenqian, who was silently harvesting various spiritual herbs along the way, was also constantly sighing with emotion.
What a waste! What a terrible waste!
Although the spiritual energy in this world is incredibly thin, less than one-tenth of that in modern society, but...
The pristine environment here is so well preserved!
The Python Mountain has existed for an unknown number of years, and in that long time, even the thinnest spiritual energy would have been enough to nurture countless treasures.
Perhaps due to the existence of deities, there are very few demonic beasts of a certain level in Python Mountain.
Most of these medicinal herbs, which should have become natural food for monsters, were preserved and their numbers increased over time.
Gods are born from heaven and earth, and cultivate their own fortune; they probably don't care much for these things.
The Yue clan has only been here for a thousand years. Even if the entire clan were to use its full strength, how much could they possibly harvest?
Not to mention, based on Chen Qian's estimation, it was estimated that only the Great Yuezhi clan leader possessed the ability to identify and collect medicinal herbs.
High-grade medicinal herbs are naturally good at concealing themselves, and no matter what, the Yuezhi could not possibly have such a comprehensive scanning capability as the system.
Moreover, the other party must first be able to recognize all the medicinal herbs.
All these reasons have led to... In Shen Qian's eyes, this Python Mountain is simply a huge treasure trove open between heaven and earth, yet it has never been visited by anyone.
What was even more surprising was that Shen Qian had already collected hundreds of kinds of spiritual herbs, but there were actually quite a few of them that even he, a seven-star alchemy master, could not recognize.
This only shows that those are species that no longer exist in modern society.
Or... a rare species that could never have appeared in an environment where spiritual energy has only been revived for a few hundred years!
