Chapter 170 - Wood Bowl Soup

If it wasn't for the last part of the journey, Ling Xiao really hoped that Ah Zi and Yan Ao Gu would come up and take a look, the scenery here was really too beautiful.

If one were to look down from the highest point, aside from the distance, one would be able to see everything else. The surroundings were shrouded in mist and the visual impact would cause one to feel that it was extremely vast.

After enjoying the scenery at the top of Changbai Mountain, Ling Xiao started to look around to find ginseng.

At first, Ling Xiao didn't even see a shadow, thinking that he had been tricked. But after walking around, he finally found the ginseng.

As he carefully stepped on the petrous wall's edges, he was almost blown away by the strong wind several times. It was fortunate that Ling Xiao reacted in time and used the microstep to save him.

After he arrived at the place where the ginseng grew, Ling Xiao seemed to have picked something. He hesitated for a long time as he looked at a large bunch of ginseng, and in the end, he picked six of the largest ginseng, which looked to be the most plump one. Two of them were given to Ah Zi to make ginseng soup, while the other four were to be kept first.

After wrapping the ginseng he picked up with linen, he put it away and tied it up. Then, Ling Xiao returned back to his original path.

Although the scenery on the mountain was extremely beautiful, Ling Xiao did not forget that there were two people waiting for him below, especially Ah Zi. Even though he was waiting halfway up the mountain, due to the strong wind, she would definitely feel cold if he waited for too long.

To Ah Zi whose body had not completely recovered, the threat of these chills was still quite great.

Although Ling Xiao had only left for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Perfect Yan Ao Gu was already impatient. If not for the restrictions of the platform, he would have already been pacing back and forth, but the expression on his face right now was enough to prove his uneasiness.

"Why are you so nervous?" Ling Xiao landed on the ground behind Yan Ao, and could not help but raise his eyebrows and say.

As soon as she heard this, she was shocked to the point that she almost jumped up from the ground. It was because it was too terrifying to suddenly see a person appearing in such an empty area.

"Sect Master Ling, it's great that you came back safely!" Seeing that Ling Xiao was safe and sound, Duyan Ah Gu started dancing in joy.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao could not help but look at Yan Ao and asked: "Why are you thinking about such bad things?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I was thinking too much." Wuyan Aobo scratched his head and smiled.

"Let's go down. We can't stay here for long. The humidity is too high, and the wind is strong. If we blow on it for too long, it will easily cause a chill." Ling Xiao said.

Upon hearing this, Yan Ao Gu quickly expressed his agreement and the two of them followed the same route back to the platform halfway up the mountain.

Perhaps it was because they were going down the mountain, but the two of them spent less time on the same journey.

When Ling Xiao returned to the middle of the mountain, he saw Ah Zi curled up in a pile of rocks. It seemed like she couldn't handle it any longer.

Looking at this scene, Ling Xiao hurried forward and hugged Ah Zi. At the same time, he continuously stroked Ah Zi's back, trying to make her feel warm as soon as possible.

"Big brother Ling Xiao, you're back!" Ah Zi was also startled by Ling Xiao's sudden hug, and immediately after, he felt a familiar warmth, and immediately laughed happily.

"En, when you are more comfortable, we will immediately go down the mountain. I have already picked the ginseng." Ling Xiao said softly.

"Alright!" Ah Zi laughed happily.

After settling the matter with the ginseng, everyone felt much more relaxed. On the way back, they also enjoyed the scenery. Although they weren't at the top of the mountain, the scenery was still very good.

After returning to the foot of the mountain, Ling Xiao took out the six ginseng he had collected from above and placed them in front of Yan Ao Gu.

Seeing these ginseng, the eyes of Empyrean Terminus lit up. It was obvious that this was the best ginseng he had ever seen.

"Sect Master Ling, you only took six?" Wuyan Aobo gulped and asked carefully.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head, and then asked: "En, what's the matter?"

"You don't know, these ginseng are the best quality I've ever seen. If they were on the market, they would definitely be valuable treasures. Aiya, if I had these ginseng, I wouldn't need to go out to work for a year!" Duyan Aobo said somewhat excitedly.

Ling Xiao finally understood what Yan Ah Gu meant, he also wanted to get back at him a little.

"After you finish making the ginseng soup and let this girl cure it, I'll let you choose one to take away." Ling Xiao said.

After hearing this, Flawless Yama Minamiya's eyes widened in disbelief as he asked, "Really?"

"Why should I lie to you?" Ling Xiao snorted.

As such, Yu Yan Abone clapped his hands, he was obviously very excited.

Then, without any further delay, he immediately found some firewood from the surroundings and chopped off a tree stump as thick as an arm. He hollowed out the middle and prepared to use it as a wooden bowl.

Looking at this scene, Ling Xiao felt that it was strange. A bowl made of wood, could it not be burning?

To Ling Xiao's question, Yan Ao Gu smiled mysteriously: "Of course I have my own secrets. Although the wooden bowl will be burned, if you add some special materials into it, it would be able to reach the fire prevention stage."

With that, Yan Ao Gu took out some strange herbs from his waist, it looked like they were some kind of unique herbs, and then he crushed them together, and finally smeared them on the bottom of the wooden bowl.

After he was done, he started a fire and started boiling water.

Ling Xiao and Ah Zi both looked on curiously, as the flames burned brighter and brighter, Ling Xiao saw that the wooden bowl really didn't have any changes at all, and didn't have any signs of being burnt at all, and started to admire the miraculous medicine.

"How long can it last?" Ling Xiao asked.

"Ah?" "What?" Wuyan Aobo raised his head, a look of bewilderment on his face.

"I am asking, how long can this herb last?" Ling Xiao was helpless, looks like he was too engrossed.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh. Because the ginseng soup requires time to be brewed, I had smeared a few more layers just now, and should be able to last for around four hours or so. Sect Master Ling is relieved, I will definitely not ruin these two ginseng. " Yan Ao wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said with a smile.

Hearing that, Ling Xiao nodded his head, and said: "Not a bad secret recipe, could you tell me the details?"

Upon hearing this, Wuyan Aobo was stunned, but he quickly nodded and said, "Fine, although I accidentally discovered it, it's not a secret."
