Chapter 1164 Searching for Spiritual Ginseng

Unable to get a response from Baicao Weng in the room, Zhou Yiqiao thought that he had chosen the wrong timing and disturbed Baicao Weng's alchemy.

He was nervous and didn't dare to move too much. He stood respectfully outside the house, waiting for Baicao Weng's response.

But what Zhou Yiqiao didn't expect was that after he waited outside the house for more than half an hour, there was no sign of the door in front of him opening.

"Junior Zhou Yiqiao, under the order of Miss Qing Jimeng, has come to seek an audience with Senior Baicao Weng!"

He raised his voice again, his words carrying a hint of urgency and sincerity.

The sound echoed in the quiet courtyard, but it seemed to be isolated by an invisible barrier and failed to cause any movement in the house.

Just as Zhou Yiqiao was becoming more confused and was about to bow again and turn to leave, a low and slightly teasing voice suddenly came from the room.

The voice was like an old tree coming back to life in spring, ancient yet full of vitality, but there was a hint of playfulness in the tone that was not in keeping with the age.

"Oh? That girl Qing Ji Meng sent people to bother me again?"

"Humph, she can't even solve her own problems, and she's still trying to drag me down with her."

The voice paused, as if enjoying this sudden "interruption".

"However, since you are so sincere, I will give you a chance."

"There is a very hard-to-find Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng hidden in Floating Light City. If you can find it and bring it back here within three days, I might consider listening to your request."

After saying that, the room returned to its former tranquility, leaving Zhou Yiqiao alone standing there in a daze.

Nine-bend Purple Ginseng is a legendary elixir, born from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. It has a strong spirituality and can transform into various animals or insects. It is good at drilling into the soil and wood.

This spiritual herb has already produced the most basic spiritual plant. Unless it is lured through the feces of the Musk Orchid Beast and then captured with extremely fine spiritual sense, it is extremely difficult to pick it.

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he was both surprised and happy.

The good news is that he has never planted the Nine-bend Purple Melody Ginseng in the Moonstone Space.

If he could collect a scattered ginseng beard, he could also cultivate his own Nine-bend Purple Ginseng in the Moonstone Space, which would undoubtedly be a huge improvement to his alchemy skills.

What’s surprising is that this task seems simple, but it is actually full of difficulties.

Not only does he have to deal with the spirituality and unpredictability of the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng itself, but he also needs to search for almost invisible clues among the countless living creatures in this prosperous place, Floating Light City.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior. I will do my best to retrieve the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng within three days!"

After bowing again to Baicao Weng in the house, Zhou Yiqiao turned and walked towards the urban area of ​​​​Fuguang City.

What Zhou Yiqiao didn't know was that when he turned around, the herb hunter in the house suddenly put down his airs and poked his head out stealthily.

The old man looked at his back and muttered softly.

"He seems to have average talent. I don't know what Qing Jimeng sees so highly in him?"

......

Because time was limited, after returning to the urban area of ​​​​Fuguang City, Zhou Yiqiao immediately released his spiritual sense and scanned everything in the city.

After identifying several places where the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng might be found, Zhou Yiqiao flashed and rushed to the nearest ancient garden as soon as possible.

This garden seemed to be built as a summer resort, but for some reasons that Zhou Yiqiao was unaware of, it was transformed into a spiritual plant orchard.

As he stepped into the garden, Zhou Yiqiao immediately felt a fresh spiritual energy different from the outside world. He closed his eyes and concentrated, allowing his spiritual consciousness to merge with the surrounding environment, carefully sensing the fluctuations of life under every inch of land.

Although the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng can transform, the faint spiritual energy emitted by its roots is a trace that it cannot completely hide.

As Zhou Yiqiao slowly went deeper, his brows gradually furrowed.

The garden is huge, with many spiritual herbs, and the spiritual energy between them is intricately intertwined. Finding that unique touch of purple in this vast green is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Just as he was about to change his strategy and start searching from another possible location, a slight rustling sound caught his attention.

The sound came from behind a seemingly ordinary bush. Zhou Yiqiao had an idea and approached quietly.

Zhou Yiqiao slowly squatted down, his sharp eyes penetrating the gaps in the bushes, and saw a tiny safari rat burying its head in the soil, clearly holding a ginseng root in its mouth.

He was delighted, but quickly calmed down and reminded himself not to jump to conclusions.

The fragrant sesame rat is a common creature in the medicinal garden. They often dig up roots or fruits underground. This does not mean that what he is using must be the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng.

However, just as Zhou Yiqiao was about to retreat quietly and continue his search, the hamster seemed to have noticed something. It looked up suddenly, and its pair of alert little eyes met Zhou Yiqiao's gaze, instantly revealing a bit of cunning.

Then, as if it had made a decision, it turned around quickly and drilled into a deeper hole, leaving behind only a string of tiny footprints and half of the exposed ginseng roots.

Zhou Yiqiao picked up the root and sniffed it. A faint mixed fragrance of soil and grass instantly rushed into his nose.

His heart sank. Although the aroma was strong, it was not the unique and strange fragrance recorded in the record. It was more like another type of ginseng called Suling ginseng.

Although Zhou Yiqiao felt disappointed, he still refused to believe in evil.

Following the subtle traces left by the cheese rat, Zhou Yiqiao walked carefully through the garden.

Following the guidance of the footprints, he came to a remote corner of the garden.

Here he found a small patch of disturbed earth with fresh soil, evidently indicating recent activity by some living being.

Zhou Yiqiao squatted down and gently cleared the soil, and a green plant gradually emerged.

This plant has broad leaves, thick stems and tangled roots. It is undoubtedly the Suling ginseng that Zhou Yiqiao had guessed.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. He had thought that the ginseng whisker held by the fragrant rat would be the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng, but he didn't expect it was just a misunderstanding.

After an accidental search in the garden, Zhou Yiqiao did not give up.

After leaving the medicine garden, he continued to conduct a more detailed search in Fuguang City.

Although Fuguang City is vast, every corner cannot escape the detection of his spiritual sense.

He traveled through the streets and alleys of the city, visiting every courtyard and every green space that might hide magical herbs.

Zhou Yiqiao did not miss any possible place. From the spiritual fields outside the city to the spiritual medicine garden in the city, he explored them one by one, but he still could not find the mature Nine-Curved Purple Rhythm Ginseng.

As time passed, Zhou Yiqiao began to feel anxious.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to find any trace of the Nine-bend Purple Rhythm Ginseng.

He began to wonder if his method was wrong or if he had missed some key clue.
