Chapter 2154: Blood Ginseng’s Emergence (1/2)
Something big was already happening at Ivory Gap when the group made it there.
Ivory Gap was a large mountain range with rolling hills everywhere. Towering peaks reached the sky while deep valleys entrenched themselves into the earth.
It produced a large number of medicinal materials and gra.s.ses - a wild alchemy garden for the system of sort. Because of this, fierce beasts and poisonous insects frequented the area. This resulted in numerous casualties.
For some unknown reasons, Insane Court didn’t value this mountain range, leaving it in an essentially sealed-up state. There were periods where this containment was actually enforced. Even the main branch of the royal court wasn’t allowed to enter. No one knew the reason for this either.
On this day, a mist of blood suddenly billowed in this area. Some said that it started as a ray of blood from an unknown valley. It turned into smaller strands with crystallized refractions - quite beautiful.
One could see a tiny figure with root tendrils rus.h.i.+ng out of the valley, only the size of a palm. It then hid deeper into the mountain range.
“What is that?” Many cultivators noticed this visual phenomenon right away.
“It’s a blood ginseng, hurry up and chase after it.” An older cultivator with keen eyesight shouted and leaped over like a dragon to give chase.
The news of the blood ginseng traveled across the entire system. All the sects also heard about it.
“There’s a million-year-old blood ginseng in Ivory Gap!” In the beginning, the news was still very reasonable.
But as it pa.s.sed on, it became much more ridiculous. From one million to one hundred million and even older. Then some said it was as old as the system or even older.
“This is a trillion-year-old ginseng. When it comes out, there would be crystallized blood rays and visual phenomena, golden stallions carrying the treasures; lingzhi growing fruits. This blood ginseng is the king of all medicines.” Someone told a lively version of the story.
“Is it true? One this old is at the immortal level, only meant for True Emperors.” Some were skeptical.
“Absolutely, my master saw it in person.” The speaker swore: “This ginseng is as big as a fist with the shape of an old man. The tendrils are like gray beards, when it appeared, a golden spring gushed out with flowers fluttering down. So many old medicinal gra.s.ses prostrated after seeing it.”
The excited guy was spitting everywhere with exaggerated gesturing. People glanced at each other after seeing this.
Disciples from all over the system naturally came to this mountain range.
It was true that a blood ginseng has come out, but the validity of its age remained in question. No one could determine its true age but this was a precious type of medicine. If it was truly a trillion-year-old ginseng, it would be too priceless.
“To Ivory Gap!” No one could sit still - both the young and old.
It had too many uses - recovery, power augmentation, and longevity purposes. It was a type of panacea so its value was quite high. Everyone wanted it for this reason. The young wanted to become stronger; the old wanted to live longer.
Yang Shengping also heard about this news and became surprised. Though he hasn’t tried one, he was aware of its sky-high value.
“You’re coming for the blood ginseng, Young n.o.ble?” Shengping felt that Li Qiye was too heaven-defying, aware that a ginseng root was about to emerge before everyone else. Maybe nothing in this system could hide from him?
