It was as if the group possessed something that made the poisonous insects fear them.
Walking through the mountains and forests, Lianxing raised her hand to sense her surroundings and couldn't help but wonder, "Why is the temperature inside this swamp slightly higher than outside?"
Hearing Lianxing's question, Chu Qinghe explained, "This swamp mountain is full of miasma, and the surrounding trees are lush and dense all year round, which is why there is a temperature difference between it and the outside."
Hearing what Chu Qinghe said, Lianxing first nodded, then looked at Chu Qinghe with a smile and said, "Brother-in-law, you know so much."
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe smiled gently and said, "It's alright!"
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe flicked his finger, sending a burst of energy towards the top of his head.
In the eyes of Jellyfish Yin Ji and Lian Xing and the other girls, a dark figure was instantly knocked away.
Upon closer inspection, they realized that the dark shape was actually a brightly colored venomous snake.
The creation of heaven and earth has resulted in some unique regions in this world.
Just like this swampy mountain, where sunlight never penetrates and cold winds never intrude, it has become a breeding ground for some poisonous creatures.
As Chu Qinghe walked along the way, he also saw many kinds of medicines that were rarely seen in the past.
As he walked and picked mushrooms, Chu Qinghe felt a sense of déjà vu, reminiscent of his previous life when he went mushroom picking in the mountains with others.
Thinking about his current medical skills, Chu Qinghe was certain that if he went to pick mushrooms again, he wouldn't have ended up in the hospital getting IV drips for several days after eating them.
It was also as Chu Qinghe was reminiscing about how he almost collapsed on a plank after eating the umbrella in his previous life that Lianxing asked again, "Brother-in-law, this swamp mountain is so big. Will we be able to find the medicinal herb you want by searching like this? Why don't you tell us what the medicinal herb looks like, and then we can split up and search. Maybe that will be faster?"
In response, Chu Qinghe said softly, "Medicinal herbs also have certain growth habits. Once we understand these, we can know where such herbs might grow. The environment here is good, so finding the Infant Head Bone Flower shouldn't be difficult."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe's gaze, which had been moving around, paused, and he slightly shifted the direction he was walking in.
Ten breaths later, in a mud-brick area, Chu Qinghe saw a plant that was grayish in color, shaped like an animal skull, and with blood-red roots.
Looking at the plant, Chu Qinghe smiled slightly.
Then, as his true energy circulated, he lightly waved his right hand.
The next second, a special kind of energy gathered from the surroundings and blew towards the withered flower with the baby's head.
As the strong wind blew and stirred the Baby Head Bone Flower, a one-inch-long blood-red centipede swiftly climbed down from the flower's stem and burrowed into the weeds.
After the blood-red centipede left, Chu Qinghe bent his five fingers and used his true energy to directly absorb the infant head withered bone flower into his hand.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's actions, the girls all curiously examined the object in his hand.
Noticing the smile on Chu Qinghe's lips, Jellyfish Yin Ji asked, "Is this the Infant Head Bone Flower you just mentioned?"
Chu Qinghe nodded slightly and said, "That's right. This flower is peculiar. It only grows in places like this swamp, where miasma is dense and poisonous creatures abound. Moreover, once it leaves the miasma-filled area, its medicinal properties will rapidly weaken and change."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe lightly moved his fingers and used sword energy to separate the flower buds and roots of the infant-headed withered bone flower that was suspended in mid-air in front of him.
Cut open the two dark red roots and separate the flower buds. After the black lines on the flower buds were separated and thrown aside, Chu Qinghe used his true energy to knead the flower buds into a ball and dripped a drop of white juice onto the root.
When this drop of sap falls onto the blood-red root, the root rapidly changes color from its original blood-red hue at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just five breaths, both ends of the root turned deep red, while the middle section, about an inch in, turned light blue.
When he reached into his robes and pulled out a small medicine bottle, sprinkling the powder inside onto the root, the root of the Baby Head Bone Flower quickly withered as if it had been dried out by the wind.
Only then did Chu Qinghe put away the section of root in front of him.
Seeing Chu Qinghe's actions in dealing with the Infant Head Bone Flower, Lin Shiyin couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "It's so troublesome?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "Yes! Otherwise, there would be no need to make a special trip here."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe continued, "Let's continue! Since we've already come all this way, we might as well collect a little more so we don't have to come back again if we run out next time."
And so, Chu Qinghe and his companions wandered around in the woods for nearly an hour.
During the process, Lianxing looked at Chu Qinghe's handsome profile from the side and felt her heart almost melt.
What is happiness? It's having a pillow when you're sleepy and delicious food and wine when you're hungry.
For Lianxing, who is obsessed with good looks, the happiest thing is being able to admire Chu Qinghe's flawless face, which seems to be exactly what she looks like every day.
"Brother-in-law, you are really too handsome."
However, perhaps she was too engrossed in watching, and forgot that next to Chu Qinghe was the meticulous and thoughtful Shuimu Yin Ji.
