Chapter 772 A Strange Little Lake
When more than a dozen hunters heard the words "hundred-year wild ginseng", they were silent for a moment, and then rushed to Zhao Yunjian's side. When they saw the century-old wild ginseng brought back by Zhao Yunjian, they all burst into warm cheers.
A few days ago, several hunters from a neighboring village had great luck in the forest and snowy fields. They dug up a century-old wild ginseng and sold it for a million dollars. This really made the hunters in Zhaojiacun envious for a while. They didn't expect to enter the mountains here. , they actually encountered such a good thing.
The box containing century-old wild ginseng was passed around among more than a dozen hunters. After everyone got it, they looked at it again and again and couldn't put it down.
"After taking this wild plant and selling it with the more than twenty wolf skins from before, each of our families can get almost 100,000 yuan!"
An Orion rubbed his hands and said excitedly.
"With this money, our life will be much better!"
Orion said excitedly.
Zhao Yunjian calmed down quickly. He knew that Fang Bai had the final say as to the ownership of the wild ginseng. After all, the wild ginseng was dug up only after Fang Bai's guidance, otherwise everyone would have missed it.
"Mr. Fang, you discovered this wild ginseng and it should be yours..."
Zhao Yunjian walked up to Fang Bai and handed the box containing wild ginseng to Fang Bai.
The hunters who were immersed in excitement also woke up. When they saw Zhao Yunjian handing the wild ginseng to Fang Bai, they felt a little reluctant and a little disappointed, but they also knew that this was a matter of course, and no one showed dissatisfaction.
Fang Bai pushed back the box containing century-old wild ginseng, looked around at the dozen or so hunters, and said with a smile: "This time when I go into the mountains, I only want the 'Earth Immortal Ginseng', and everything else belongs to you..." I believe there is more than one hundred-year-old wild ginseng like this in the mountains. If we look carefully, we might be able to find a few more... Everyone, it's getting late, let's keep walking, shall we?"
On the way here, Fang Bai had already told Zhao Yunjian and others that the thing he was looking for was called "Earth Immortal Ginseng". Zhao Yunjian and others had heard of "Earth Immortal Ginseng" for the first time, and they were very curious and didn't understand. What's the use of those things that no one cares about?
However, the hunters were not interested in paying attention to what Fang Bai was doing to find the "Ginseng Immortal". When they heard that Fang Bai didn't want century-old wild ginseng, they were surprised and cheered again.
Although Zhao Yunjian didn't have much contact with Fang Bai, he knew that Fang Bai was a generous and cheerful young man. If he said he didn't want century-old wild ginseng, he definitely didn't want it.
Zhao Yunjian stopped giving in and expressed his gratitude to Fang Bai on behalf of more than a dozen hunters. He then handed over the century-old wild ginseng to his son Zhao Guoqiang for safekeeping, waving and leading everyone onward.
More than a dozen hunters were full of gratitude to Fang Bai. They cheered up and strode forward, preparing to dig up some more "Earth Immortal Ginseng" to give to Fang Bai as a reward for him.
Along the way, Fang Bai continued to surprise Zhao Yunjian and other hunters.
In just two days, with Fang Bai's help, more than a dozen hunters killed dozens of pheasants and rabbits, and even encountered a ferocious wild boar weighing hundreds of kilograms. Although the wild boar was killed by Fang Bai, it was too big to kill. It was too big to take back, so they had to cut some wild boar meat and take it with them to roast and eat on the road, while the rest had to be discarded.
At dusk on the third day, Fang Bai once again discovered two wild ginseng plants on a gentle slope. After Zhao Yunjian dug out the two wild ginseng plants, he was so excited that he almost had a heart attack.
Of the two wild ginseng plants, one has a growth period of more than a hundred years, while the other has a growth period of more than three hundred years.
Zhao Yunjian is very concerned about the market situation of wild ginseng. He knew that at a wild ginseng auction two years ago, a wild ginseng that was more than 300 years old was auctioned for nearly 10 million.
The wild ginseng they dug up, which is more than 300 years old, is bigger and better-looking. If sold, it would definitely be worth more than 10 million.
When Zhao Yunjian told more than a dozen hunters about this, the hunters were excited. They jumped up and down, hugged each other, and some couldn't help but burst into tears.
One 300-year-old wild ginseng and two 100-year-old wild ginseng have a total value of more than 10 million. After selling, a dozen hunters can each receive nearly 1 million. With this money as capital, they can do whatever they want. Order other business, so you don’t have to take such risks into the mountains to hunt in the future.
The discovery of the three wild ginseng plants was all attributed to Fang Bai. The hunters were even more grateful to Fang Bai and felt that this young man was their lucky star.
"Mr. Fang, we found those 'Earth Immortal Ginseng' plants in this area last time!"
In the afternoon of this day, everyone came to a small lake deep in the forest and snow fields. Zhao Yunjian pointed to a patch of plants scattered around the lake and said.
This small lake is almost the same size as a football field. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides and virgin forest on one side. The lake is as smooth as a mirror and unfathomable.
The most surprising thing is that the water of the small lake is as dark as ink, but there is an earthy yellow mist lingering on the lake.
The khaki aerosol is earth energy.
In terms of quantity, there should be more abundant water energy near the small lake, but surprisingly, the earth energy here is richer than the water energy.
Fang Bai's heart moved. He thought that there must be some treasure in the water of this small lake that was continuously releasing earth energy.
Fang Bai only took a glance at the plants around the small lake and knew that they were the branches and leaves of "Earth Immortal Ginseng" exposed on the surface.
A rough calculation showed that there were almost a thousand "Earth Immortal Ginseng" plants by the lake. Although they were only low-grade elixirs, Fang Bai was very happy to see so many plants.
"It seems like this trip should yield good results!"
Fang Bai thought to himself.
At Fang Bai's signal, Zhao Yunjian and more than a dozen hunters began to dig "Earth Immortal Ginseng".
Fang Bai did not intend to dig up all the "Earth Immortal Ginseng" here, but only took half of it away and left the rest for later.
At dusk, a dozen hunters dug out a total of four to five hundred "Earth Immortal Ginseng" plants. Zhao Yunjian asked everyone to take some with them and hand them over to Fang Bai for disposal after returning to Zhaojiacun.
Zhao Guoqiang put dozens of "Earth Immortal Ginseng" plants into his bag, and then ran to the small lake to wash his hands.
In this icy and snowy weather, the water in the small lake is warm. If you put your hand in it, your whole body will feel warm and indescribably comfortable. Moreover, although the lake water is ink-colored, it will not touch people's skin. .
"Guoqiang, be careful!"
Zhao Guoqiang lowered his head and had just washed his face when he suddenly heard someone in the distance reminding him loudly. The voice seemed to be Fang Bai.
Zhao Guoqiang instinctively turned his head and glanced at Fang Bai. His eyes blurred as Fang Bai's figure turned into a bolt of lightning and rushed towards him.
At the same time, Zhao Guoqiang saw an extremely frightened expression on the face of his father, Zhao Yunjian, who was not far away from him, as if he saw some monster.
Wow——
There was a huge sound of splashing water, and something huge seemed to be jumping out of the small lake. A dizzying fishy smell rushed to Zhao Guoqiang like a mountain and enveloped him.
