Chapter 168 - Secret Ginseng Soup
Ling Xiao used the lightness exercise to travel through the dense forest. Not to mention the energy that he had consumed to size up his surroundings, his stamina must have definitely been depleted as well, not to mention the Cosmic Hades that he used to travel through the dense forest by himself.
So even though the meat was very hard, Duyan Ah Gu still bit into it and swallowed it in a few bites. Looking at his appearance, if Ling Xiao did not give him some water to drink earlier, he would have already fainted.
"Or else." Ling Xiao looked at Yan Ao Gu who was wiping his mouth and asked.
After hearing this, Yan Ao Yan could only wave his hand and say, "Enough is enough, as long as you are not hungry, it is enough."
"Okay, then let's find a place to rest. It's not safe at night, so we're planning to hurry back tomorrow morning." Ling Xiao said.
"Okay, okay." As soon as Yan Ao Gu heard this, he stood up and found a crevice in the stone that could withstand the cold, and laid down on it. Looking at his appearance, it seemed that he had been sleeping outside for quite some time.
As for Ling Xiao, naturally he would not allow Ah Zi to do this, so he waved towards Ah Zi and said: "Is it cold, come over to my place to sleep."
Hearing that, Ah Zi immediately ran to Ling Xiao's embrace and laid down, his face full of happiness.
Not far away, when Empyrean Terminus Bones saw this scene, he immediately revealed an envious expression. He then quickly turned around, no longer looking in Ling Xiao's direction.
Very quickly, under Ling Xiao's protection, Ah Zi entered the dreamscape. It might be related to the medicine given by the Divine Doctor Xue, or it might be because he had experienced a moment of extreme grief previously.
However, Ling Xiao did not sleep at all. Instead, he closed his eyes and meditated. This way, he could not only temper his mental strength, he could also be vigilant of his surroundings at all times.
Since Yan Ah Gu's enemies Tribes were willing to pay a huge price to get him into the dense forest, it meant that they had planned to kill. Furthermore, they had also forced Yan Ah Gu to risk his life to pass through the dense forest, which meant that the enemy was very persistent, so it would not be an accident if they actually chased him through the dense forest.
If his opponent's target was only the Perfect Yan Ao Gu, then whatever, but if Ah Zi wanted to attack, Ling Xiao would never forgive him.
The night passed without incident. It seemed that the people who had been chasing after Yan Ah Gu were also fearful of the unknown dangers within the forest. Perhaps they believed that if Yan Ah Gu ran into the forest empty-handed, they could only wait for death.
The sky was still dimly lit, and at the foot of the Changbai Mountain's feet, one could see towering Changbai Mountain being entangled by extremely thick clouds and mist; one simply couldn't see the top.
The morning wind was still cold, Ling Xiao prepared to walk for a while, but after sitting for an entire night his body was numb, but as soon as he got up, Ah Zi who was sleeping woke up.
"So cold …" Ah Zi rubbed her blurry eyes, curled her body and said. Seems like she had left Ling Xiao's warm embrace, and was unable to take the cold wind anymore.
Hearing this, Ling Xiao could only return to Ah Zi's side, hug him and say, "Slow down for a while, then walk around, it won't be cold anymore."
Hearing this, Ah Zi obediently nodded her head. Not bad, he was in Ling Xiao's embrace as well, and quickly walked around the surroundings with Ling Xiao to take a look at the scenery. Because it was dark yesterday, she didn't have a good look at the scenery.
At this time, Ling Xiao noticed that the "Yan Ao" that he had slept at last night had disappeared. This caused Ling Xiao to raise his eyebrows.
The only thing he could be certain of was that he did not walk in Ling Xiao's direction.
Soon, however, he was back with a wild chicken and a kettle.
"Sect Master Ling, I caught a wild chicken as soon as possible, and filled a canteen to the brim." As for Ling Xiao's side, he probably did not dare to move.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "En, we will have lunch like this, at that time, I will go and pick some fruits to eat."
Although the Changbai Mountain was steep, the environment for its growth was still good, so it was not difficult to find some fruits.
As for breakfast, the group did not want to eat too much, so they took the rice cakes that they had bought from the villagers to fill their stomach. After the fog on the mountain had somewhat dispersed, they prepared to set off on their journey.
"Sect Master Ling, although I have never been to Changbai Mountain before, I have heard that this place is deserted and smoky, and extremely steep. I wonder what business does Sect Master Ling have here?" He thought that since Ling Xiao was willing to bring him along, then it meant that what Ling Xiao wanted to do was not some private matter.
When Ling Xiao heard this, he took a look at the's peak and said, "Go gather the ginseng and boil the medicine."
Hearing that, Yan Ao Gu immediately turned to look at Ah Zi. He could tell that Ah Zi's body was slightly weak, obviously she had just recovered from a serious illness.
He did not know what had occurred to him, but Wuyan Aobo ran over to Ling Xiao, rubbed his hands and said: "Sect Master Ling, you might not know this, but I have actually researched a lot about ginseng."
Hearing that, Ling Xiao asked with some surprise: "Oh? Tell me about it. "
"Because the conditions in Tribes are difficult, our clan members would go out from time to time to find some resources, including ginseng. I have experience in this area, not only do I know where to grow the best ginseng, I also know how to use ginseng to achieve the best results." Wuyan Aobo proudly introduced his understanding of ginseng.
Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head and said: "Not bad, not bad, I never thought that your understanding of ginseng would be so profound, you should know some of the secret recipes to concoct the ginseng soup, right?"
After all, although the ginseng could be used as a great tonic, but it could only be used one way. If one did not use it well, it was possible that the effects would not show, or that his body would be harmed by the excess.
After Yan Ao Gu heard this, he nodded his head and said: "I know, of course I know, I have the secret recipe for the ginseng soup in my hands, other than me, no one else knows, even my clansmen do not. This is something that I have figured out myself, it is one of my eating abilities."
"Alright, then I'll leave this time's ginseng gathering to you." Ling Xiao said with a smile.
"Well done, Heller, I must have done it! Let Madam recover quickly! " Zhan Yan Ah Gu smiled at the two of them.
Hearing this, Ah Zi's little face immediately blushed, and she directly buried her face in Ling Xiao's embrace.
Seeing that, Ling Xiao patted Ah Zi's head and said: "Let's go up the mountain."
"Sect Master Ling, let me lead the way. Although I have never been to Changbai Mountain, I am experienced enough." Wuyan Aobo rubbed his hands together as he spoke.
