Chapter 88 Strange Valley

[Ginseng: a precious medicinal herb, non-toxic and edible. 】

[This ginseng has been grown for a long time, more than a hundred years ago.]

[Legend has it that ginseng has various magical effects. Ginseng that is old enough seems to have psychic abilities and can give birth to spiritual wisdom. 】

Looking at the ginseng with the message in front of him, Lu Qing smiled.

Ever since he dug out that ginseng plant that was over 200 years old, his luck seemed to have suddenly improved.

Three more ginseng plants were found one after another, and all of them were over a hundred years old.

Lu Qing was in a very good mood as he slowly dug out this century-old ginseng and put it into the medicine basket.

There are already four ginseng plants in the medicine basket, plus the one Xiaoli brought from home.

If five ginseng plants, one 200-year-old and four 100-year-old were all refined into a blood-tonifying and qi-enhancing pill, it would be more than enough for him to cultivate to the perfection of qi-blood realm.

It's really a treasure mountain!

Lu Qing looked around and sighed sincerely.

He didn't search too far before he found so many century-old ginseng.

Plus the other medicinal materials he saw when he was looking for ginseng.

One can imagine how rich the medicinal resources in this mountain forest are.

Calling it a treasure mountain is not an exaggeration at all.

However, although the medicinal materials here are very rich, it is not easy to get in.

A primitive mountain forest like this is full of insects and snakes, hiding ferocious beasts. If you are not careful, if you are bitten, you may die in the mountains.

Lu Qing did it because he was a Qi and Blood Realm warrior, and he had a medicine bag prepared by his master to drive away snakes and insects.

In addition, Xiao Li is a spiritual beast and seems to have some ability to frighten other creatures in the mountain, which makes it seem easy.

For an ordinary herb gatherer, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky if he wanted to go so deep into the mountains and forests.

Therefore, even if most people know that this place is full of treasures and medicinal materials, they can only stay away.

Of course, this is a good thing for Lu Qing.

Only he can come and go here at will, which means that he can come in and look for any medicinal materials he needs in the future.

After digging enough ginseng for cultivation, Lu Qing temporarily stopped searching for ginseng.

In addition to digging ginseng, he also wanted to practice the knowledge in the Baicao Jing when he went to the mountains this time.

Take a look at the growing environment of other medicinal herbs in the mountains.

In this way, Lu Qing took Xiaoli and wandered around the mountains casually.

Anyway, with Xiao Li and the medicine bag here, those poisonous insects and snakes did not dare to approach him.

After walking around for a while, he had to sigh again, there were so many medicinal materials in the mountains.

After just a short stroll, he saw no fewer than dozens of medicinal herbs.

And they all grow very well and are very effective.

Lu Qing also selected some rare and precious medicinal herbs and dug some of them.

On weekdays, Master often provides free medical treatment and prescription medicine to villagers in nearby villages, and the consumption of medicinal herbs is quite large.

Ordinary medicinal herbs can be found on the hills near the village.

Therefore, Lu Qing specially picked herbs that were not available outside or were rarely seen outside.

After digging for a while, Lu Qing discovered another surprise.

[Tianqi: a precious medicinal material, non-toxic and can be used medicinally. 】

[It has the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, stopping bleeding and relieving pain. It is a good medicine for treating external injuries and internal injuries. 】

Lu Qing was very surprised when he saw the rich white light on the medicinal materials in front of him.

He didn't expect to find Tian Qi here.

This is a very rare medicinal material.

The main medicinal ingredient of the famous Jinchuang Medicine, known as the Holy Medicine for Healing, is the finest Tianqi.

In order to treat Young Master Wei's hemorrhage, the master specifically asked the Wei Mansion for Tian Qi.

One can imagine how powerful this herb is.

Lu Qing immediately started digging.

The light of superpower shown by the Tianqi plant in front of me is only white light, but it is still very rare.

After digging it back, you can prepare a large bottle of gold-creating medicine. It is a critical moment, and you cannot let go of life-saving medicine.

While digging Tian Qi, Lu Qing also had a trace of doubt in his heart.

According to the records in the Baicao Jing, ginseng and Panax notoginseng never grow in the same place.

Because the growth environments of these two medicinal materials are fundamentally different.

Ginseng likes shade, tolerates low temperatures, and does not like direct sunlight. The climate in the deep mountains is indeed suitable for it.

But Panax notoginseng is different. It likes moisture and is not tolerant of high temperatures or low cold. The most suitable growing environment is a place with warm winters and cool summers.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't appear here.

Because Lu Qing knew from the memory in his mind that it snowed in Jiuli Village in winter.

What is the reason why Tianqi can violate the growth rules and appear in this mountain forest?

After digging up the Pangasius plant and putting it into the medicine basket, Lu Qing fell into deep thought.

Now that I think about it, something is indeed wrong.

The medicinal materials in this mountain forest are surprisingly rich.

There are so many century-old ginsengs appearing all at once, and other medicinal materials are also growing extremely strong. Now even Tianqi, which should not appear here, is growing so well.

Previously, Lu Qing thought it was because the environment here was good and it was inaccessible that there were so many medicinal herbs.

But now that he saw ginseng and Tianqi growing in the same area, he finally realized something was wrong.

His first reaction was, could there be some mystery in this mountain?

After thinking about it, Lu Qing looked at the little black beast beside him: Xiao Li, you have been active in this mountain for so long, have you noticed anything special around here?

special place?

Xiaoli didn't understand why, he tilted his head and looked at Lu Qing with confusion in his eyes, obviously not understanding what he meant.

Seeing this, Lu Qing thought for a while and continued: Is there any place nearby that you feel is different from other places, such as a place that is more dangerous, or where you feel particularly comfortable?

This time, Xiaoli understood a little more.

It tilted its head and thought for a moment, then stepped forward and bit the corner of Lu Qing's clothes, and pointed in a certain direction.

Is there really such a place?

Lu Qing was shocked.

He looked at Xiao Li's movements and asked, You mean, let me follow you there?

The little black beast nodded.

Is that place dangerous?

If it was dangerous, he would not go there.

If you involve yourself in it just for the sake of curiosity, it's not worth it.

The little black beast shook his head.

Lu Qing thought for a moment and decided to trust Xiaoli's intuition.

Okay, let's walk. You walk slower, otherwise I won't be able to keep up.

So, Xiao Li jumped up and led the way, and Lu Qing secretly followed behind.

Even though they were in the mountains, the speed of one person and one animal was not too slow.

Soon, Lu Qing followed Xiao Li to a valley.

just in front?

Seeing Xiaoli stop, Lu Qing asked.

Xiao Li nodded and gestured with his paw, indicating that this was the special place he said.

Lu Qing observed it and felt that there was indeed no danger.

On the contrary, after arriving here, he felt relaxed and relaxed, and even his brain seemed to be much clearer.

He was refreshed and knew that he was really in the right place.

Not to mention anything else, just this breath that can make people clear their heads and relax their whole body is enough to show how extraordinary this place is.

Xiao Li was a little confused when he saw Lu Qing standing still. After tugging at the corner of his clothes, he took the lead to go into the valley.

Lu Qing saw this and quickly followed.

Entering the valley, Lu Qing was stunned.

I saw birds chirping, flowers fragrant, and water flowing in the valley, full of life.

Inside and outside the valley, there are almost two worlds.

Xiao Li seemed to be quite familiar with this valley. As soon as he entered the valley, he took Lu Qing straight into it.

When we reached the end of the valley, we saw a waterfall hanging in the valley, and below it was a blue pool. The water fell into the pool and made countless splashes.

Ouch~

Xiaoli stood on a big rock in front of the waterfall, pointed at the waterfall and shouted to Lu Qing.

You said there's something in there?

Lu Qing looked at the waterfall in surprise.

The waterfall is not big and the water curtain is not thick. Soon, he discovered the mystery.

Behind the water curtain, there seems to be a real hole.

Ouch~ Xiao Li yelled again.

You said you would let me in? Lu Qing asked.

Xiaoli nodded.

Lu Qing fell into deep thought.

It's not that he doesn't trust Xiao Li, but it's a bit risky to rush into a cave without knowing anything.

Not to mention that this valley looks quite strange at first glance. Who knows what is in the cave.

If there were any strange beasts inside, wouldn't he just go in and send them away?

Xiao Li, how about we go in together?

After thinking for a while, Lu Qing said.

Xiao Li is a red light spirit beast, far stronger than him. With it by his side, Lu Qing's sense of security will skyrocket.

Xiaoli immediately shook his head and looked at the water curtain in front of him with disgust on his face.

Lu Qing then remembered that this guy was naturally averse to water. On weekdays, except for drinking water, he would never touch more water.

Last time it was playing with Xiaoyan at home and it was covered in dust. Lu Qing wanted to give it a bath, but it almost demolished the house.

In the end, I wiped it with a damp cloth.

Just like that, the little thing lost his temper and ignored Lu Qing for a long time.

It's okay. I will carry you in and I will never get you wet. Lu Qing smiled, And you also want to know what's inside, right?

When Xiaoli heard this, he immediately showed a hesitant look.

When Lu Qing saw this, he immediately smiled.

He knew that if this guy hated water so much, he must have never been in it.

And looking at it like this, there is obviously something inside that is attracting it.

To be able to make Xiaoli, who hates water, never forget it, the things inside must be extraordinary.

You know, Xiaoli doesn't even care about things like century-old ginseng.

Don't worry, I'll hug you with my clothes so that your hair will never get wet. Lu Qing said.

Seeing Lu Qing's assurance and the fact that the things in the cave really attracted it, Xiao Li struggled for a while and finally nodded reluctantly.

Seeing that the little guy finally agreed, Lu Qing immediately took off the medicine basket on his back and placed it on the big stone aside.

Then take off your coat and coil it up into a nest.

When Xiaoli saw it, he immediately got in.

It doesn't mind that the smell of Lu Qing is all over its clothes.

Anyway, when he was at home, he slept in the same room as Xiaoyan and Lu Qing.

Even its nest is made of Lu Qing's old clothes, and it has long been used to it.

After seeing Xiaoli get into his clothes, Lu Qing picked up the sword on his back.

That's right, he brought his sword with him when he went into the mountains this time.

After all, in addition to poisonous insects and snakes, there may also be wolves and wild beasts in the mountains. How could he not bring the weapons he had handy?

After tying up the sword and attaching the medicine hoe to his waist, Lu Qing picked up Xiao Li. After taking a few steps back, his energy and blood exploded. He sprinted and jumped towards the waterfall.

The moment his body came into contact with the water curtain, Lu Qing bent at the waist, curled up into a ball, held Xiaoli in his arms, rolled over, and landed steadily in the hole behind the water curtain.

Upon entering the cave entrance, Lu Qing immediately pulled out the medicine hoe from his waist to guard against anything popping out from inside.

Fortunately, it was just his overthinking, and nothing flew out of the hole.

Lu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no other way. I have seen many movies and TV shows in my previous life, and there was such thing as opening the door to kill.

He didn't want to experience it himself.

Feeling Lu Qing stop, Xiaoli took his head out of his arms.

See, I told you I wouldn't get you wet.

Lu Qing checked and found that except for a little water on his coat, Xiaoli was not wet at all.

On the contrary, he now looks like a drowned rat.

But Lu Qing didn't care about this. As long as he wanted to stir up the qi and blood in his body, it wouldn't take long to dry the clothes.

It's just that the situation in the cave is still unclear at the moment, and he doesn't want to waste his energy and blood on such a trivial matter.

Ouch~

Xiaoli found that he was indeed not wet and was very happy.

Come on, let's go in.

Lu Qing looked into the cave and found that he couldn't see anything. Since he didn't feel any danger, he decided to go in.

We are here anyway, how can we do it without going in and taking a look.

He took out a fire stick, lit it, and then walked slowly inside with Xiaoli in his arms.

But soon, Lu Qing discovered that this was unnecessary.

After walking a few steps, he found that the cave was gradually getting brighter after turning a corner.

On both sides of the cave, the stalactite-like stone walls are dotted with stars, emitting a charming light.

Looking at the fire stick in his hand, Lu Qing laughed, then put it out, put it away, and continued walking forward with Xiao Li in his arms.

Miraculously, the entrance of this cave is behind the waterfall, but there is no water vapor in the cave, and it is very dry.

This made Xiaoli very satisfied. It got out of Lu Qing's arms and stood on his shoulders again.

This cave is quite deep, but not dark. The further you go inside, the brighter the fluorescence emitted from the stone walls on both sides becomes.

Lu Qing also used his superpower to check it out and found that it was a unique luminous ore that was harmless to the human body, so he continued to move forward with confidence.

As he continued to go deeper into the cave, Lu Qing also felt that the clarity of mind he had experienced since entering the valley became stronger and stronger.

Even without Xiaoli's reminder, he was vaguely aware that there was something deep inside the cave that had an inexplicable attraction to him.

Finally, after walking in twists and turns for a long distance, one person and one animal felt that the space in front of them suddenly became spacious.

When Lu Qing saw the scene in front of him clearly, he was shocked.
