Old Jiang was somewhat disappointed, but he knew it was understandable.
He silently led the way, but in his heart he was thinking about what other good things he could use as bargaining chips.
He himself had his eye on a burial plot, believing it to be a place of auspicious feng shui, where his descendants might be able to rise again.
Upon arriving at the medicinal herb field, Old Jiang stopped and said, "Although it is unclaimed, there are some traps set up nearby. Although they are old, I'm afraid some of them may still be intact."
He needed the two people in front of him to do things for him afterwards, so naturally he didn't dare to hide anything.
Hua Xiangyun didn't need his reminder to guess; otherwise, it would have been impossible for this medicinal herb field deep in the mountains to have survived for so many years without being destroyed by wild animals.
Upon seeing the familiar formation, Hua Xiangyun knew why Old Jiang knew about this place, but he couldn't explain what medicinal plants were inside.
"This property belongs to my arch-rival's family. Years ago, they moved away and I don't know where they went, so this place has been left empty." Old Jiang said somewhat awkwardly. Since it wasn't his own property, he didn't feel bad about giving it away, but since he was exchanging other people's things for benefits, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
Jiang Yi looked around and realized that it had indeed been a long time since anyone had come here.
Hua Xiangyun said, "There's a deception set up here, but the jade energy at the array's core is almost exhausted. Before long, this place won't be able to hide anymore."
Jiang Yi only knew a few simple formations, so he stood aside and watched quietly.
Hua Xiangyun had studied for so long, and Wu Chenxi had been very generous to her, passing on his ancestral formations and his own insights to her so that she could study them on her own.
Hua Xiangyun now farms during the day and studies at night. Her mastery of formations is still far from matching Wu Chenxi's, but she is doing quite well.
It is unknown who owned this medicinal herb field at the time, but they knew to set up an array and hide it deep in the mountains, providing a natural environment for the medicinal herbs to grow.
Old Jiang probably only knows this one place, but doesn't know the details inside.
Hua Xiangyun is now even more excited about what's inside, hoping to return with a full load this time.
The speed at which the formation was broken was even faster. Perhaps the person the opponent had found back then wasn't a master, or perhaps the formation's power had gradually diminished over the years. In no time, the medicinal field hidden in this mountain forest was revealed.
Jiang Yi stopped Hua Xiangyun, picked up a few stones and threw them in. It looked like there was no method, but in fact every stone hit the target.
The owner of this medicinal herb field is quite interesting. There's an array outside, and some harmless little traps inside, apparently to prevent small animals from accidentally wandering in.
Old ginger had already drifted into the medicinal herb field, which was overgrown with weeds, but the field itself remained intact.
Although they haven't been tended to for many years and the medicinal herbs have been allowed to grow freely, it seems that each herb has its own home and its own designated territory.
Ginseng, saffron, polygonatum, lingzhi, rhodiola, and other medicinal herbs, even those not adapted to the local climate, are growing very well, which seems to be related to the array formation.
It may have been harvested before it left, and the oldest year it was harvested was only a little over a hundred years ago.
Old Jiang was even more excited. As doctors, they saw medicinal herbs as rare treasures. They no longer cared that they were spirits and rushed over to touch them.
As he walked through the plant, Old Jiang was somewhat disappointed. After all these years, he still couldn't help but get carried away when he saw these medicinal herbs.
"Not bad," Jiang Yi's lips curled up. With these medicinal herbs, he and Xiangyun only needed to purchase a few more to gather enough medicine for the next few years of cultivation.
They can exchange some of the resources they don't need for other things, so this trip was definitely worthwhile.
The two did not rush to dig, but instead carefully observed the place.
There must be a reason why our ancestors placed the medicine here.
Located right in the heart of the forest, this place, with its topography and various other factors, is an ideal habitat for medicinal herbs. Moreover, the soil here is moist and the underground water source is abundant, ensuring the supply of this land even in the event of a drought.
Hua Xiangyun and Jiang Yi set up a new array around the area before selecting medicinal herbs.
They bought the older ones that were right for them.
Old Jiang watched them pick out all the good medicinal herbs, his mouth watering as he wandered around, wishing he could have obtained them when he was alive.
With such a batch of medicinal herbs, his family and business can take another step forward.
However, this was just wishful thinking. Back then, this was the territory of his mortal enemy. If he hadn't discovered this secret after his death, he wouldn't have had the chance to use this medicinal field to negotiate terms.
Hua Xiangyun had to rush back to work the next day at dawn, pack up her things, check the formation again, and then prepare to go back.
"Gentlemen, when would be a convenient time..."
Jiang Yi, holding Hua Xiangyun's hand, asked, "First, tell me the location of that ginseng. How far is your grave from here?"
They can roam freely through these deep mountains and forests, but it also consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
They just replenished their spiritual fluids; if it weren't for all these medicinal herbs, they would have really lost out.
If it's not too far, I can take care of things on the way and save myself the trouble of going back and forth.
“It’s not far, just three more mountains beyond here,” Old Jiang said with a smile, pointing to the mountains in the distance. “We passed by my grave when we came here just now.”
"Looking at a mountain makes one's horse run itself to death"—it may look like three mountains, but it still takes time to reach them.
But the distance now, even if it's three mountains, is still better than having to travel back and forth later. "Go and dig up the ginseng first, but you'd better be quick."
Old Jiang readily agreed, and after leaving the herb field, he immediately rushed off in the direction he had indicated. This time, he didn't cheat them; he simply wanted to save time, as they couldn't afford to slowly harvest the herbs there.
Hua Xiangyun simply released the little paper figure, which dug up all the land near the ginseng, creating a small mound that was then stored in her space.
Old Jiang had never seen such a scene before. He felt that even the ghost's body was about to be destroyed. It was truly shameful to compare oneself to others. Look at their abilities; they even possessed the legendary Mount Sumeru.
Thinking about the few things he was still hiding, he ultimately decided not to reveal them.
If the two esteemed individuals are destined to meet again, they will naturally be able to obtain it.
As for his grave, Hua Xiangyun and Jiang Yi took a look, their expressions turning solemn.
"Are there other spirits around here that are nearly a hundred years old, and their graves are all in this area?"
Hua Xiangyun had told Jiang Yi about the discovery at Xunjia Village, and the location here looked so similar, even the mountains were very similar.
Old Jiang nodded. He was indeed a master; he had discerned so much in such a short time.
"The feng shui here is bad, so many people have been reincarnated, but we are trapped here."
Perhaps I am burdened with too much sin, and must remain here to suffer punishment.
The others were in the same situation as me, their hands were all covered in it... but they were more relaxed about it than me, and had gone off to have fun somewhere by then.
