Chapter 57 Digging for Ginseng



Shen Mu Ning took out her watch and found that it was not yet two o'clock.

So they simply tied the thick tree branches together with hemp rope around the perimeter.

That way, the firewood she collected on the mountain today will be enough for the day.

Afterwards, Shen Mu Ning used her wood-type ability to collect the dried tree trunks.

After Shen Mu Ning's wood-type ability reached level three, she was able to detect the location of plants containing wood elements or with abundant vitality while using her ability.

Shen Mu Ning is doing this in an attempt to find any precious medicinal herbs, such as ginseng, deep in the mountains.

Just as Shen Mu Ning chopped down a sturdy tree, she discovered several plants brimming with vitality about seven or eight hundred meters further into the mountains.

Shen Mu Ning immediately turned around and headed into the deep mountains. The plants were growing in a flat area with many withered branches and leaves.

Using the location she sensed as the center, Shen Mu Ning cleared away the fallen leaves around her.

Shen Mu Ning carefully observed its leaves; the four plants in the middle all had six palmate compound leaves.

The smaller plants around it have varying numbers of leaves, with the fewest having only two palmate compound leaves.

Suppressing her excitement, Shen Mu Ning took out the herbal medicine encyclopedia she had previously found at the Shanghai scrap yard.

Shen Mu Ning flipped to the ginseng section, compared it repeatedly, and finally confirmed that this was indeed ginseng.

Looking at the dozen or so ginseng plants of various sizes around her, Shen Mu Ning was so happy that she spun around in circles.

In both her past and present lives, she had only ever seen wild ginseng growing in the ground once before.

Shen Mu Ning knew that most people needed professional tools to dig for ginseng, but Shen Mu Ning didn't.

Using special tools to dig up ginseng is precisely to avoid damaging the ginseng roots, and for Shen Mu Ning, as a wood-type ability user, sensing the veins of plants is her forte.

Shen Mu Ning activated her wood-type supernatural ability and mental power, and with this double protection, she casually found a tree branch nearby to start digging.

Shen Mu Ning, following the distribution of the ginseng roots, either quickly or meticulously dug out the first and largest ginseng root.

Shen Mu Ning weighed the ginseng in her hand; it felt incredibly light.

After examining the ginseng in the herbal encyclopedia, Shen Mu Ning realized that the ginseng in her possession was only about fifty years old.

Shen Mu Ning looked at the other ginsengs, which were even smaller than the ones in her hand.

So Shen Mu Ning took out a large shovel, loosened the soil where ginseng was growing, and planted it all in her space.

Although some ginseng roots were broken, Shen Mu Ning believed that the ginseng would soon grow back.

Shen Mu Ning calculated in her mind that ginseng growing in the space for one year could be equivalent to five or six years outside.

In two or three years, those larger ginseng roots will have grown to be fifty years old.

In addition, his wood-type ability has also been upgraded, and he can now try to promote the growth of ginseng in the space.

However, since Shen Mu Ning arrived in this era, she has never cultivated any fruits or grains because she has her own food and land in her space to grow vegetables.

I just don't know if my wood-type superpowers are any different in this era from those in the apocalypse.

Shen Mu Ning stopped thinking about it and directly took out the spinach seeds one by one to encourage their growth.

Shen Mu Ning discovered that the spinach in her hand was sprouting and growing rapidly. Shen Mu Ning kept inputting wood-type supernatural power until the spinach matured and produced seeds.

She sensed the state of her wood-type ability and found that the amount used was very small, similar to that during the apocalypse.

Shen Mu Ning checked the time and knew she couldn't enter the space to cultivate ginseng right now; she should return to the educated youth settlement.

So Shen Mu Ning turned around and walked towards the outer edge of the mountain range.

Before Shen Mu Ning could walk fifty meters, she discovered a group of wild boars about four or five hundred meters away from her.

After scanning with her mental power, Shen Mu Ning discovered that it was a wild boar herd, with more than a dozen wild boars together.

Shen Mu Ning stared at the wild boar, her saliva practically dripping from her mouth.

Although there wasn't much food to eat in the apocalypse, the meat of mutated animals was edible and could replenish the energy of those with superpowers.

After arriving here, I haven't even eaten pork more than a few times.

After going to the countryside, I ate two or three rabbits and two eggs every day.

That's not enough to provide her with the energy to build up her body, so she has to eat a lot of staple food every day.

Seeing so many wild boars now, I'd feel bad if I didn't shoot them down after all the suffering I've endured these past few days.

Shen Mu Ning approached the wild boars and used her mental power to kill the five largest ones.

The remaining adult wild boars were all entangled with the vines they had grown themselves, and thorny vines were exactly what the forest had in abundance.

The other juvenile wild boars scattered and fled. Shen Mu Ning only caught two and then left the rest alone.

We must understand sustainable development and not exploit resources to the point of exhaustion.

I'll take those little wild boars home when they grow up.

As for the two smaller ones she had just caught, Shen Mu Ning put them directly into her spatial storage.

The two wild boars seemed bewildered by the sudden change in environment, showing no signs of discomfort.

Shen Mu Ning then threw the sweet potato vines she had collected earlier in front of the two pigs.

As for the remaining wild boars, Shen Mu Ning directly used her mental power to shatter their brains.

Since time was not on her side, Shen Mu Ning stored all nine wild boars from Jiujiang into the static storage room.

After doing all that, Shen Mu Ning stopped looking around for anything else of interest.

It's almost time; I need to get back as soon as possible.

Shen Mu Ning ran all the way to the place where the educated youth had gathered firewood the day before, and then took out a load of firewood from her space and carried it on her shoulder.

She hadn't gone far when she saw Chu Mingxu walking towards her from not far away.
