He had not even realized that this was an area with fengshui that not even an emperor could possibly suppress!
“Initiate a Level 5 scan once more!”
After examining the area, Luo Feng initiated the scan. At first glance, he noticed that the location where the dragon’s breath converged had several hundred treasure markers.
Luo Feng could not help but smile and muttered, “Someone was bold enough to actually bury an ancient tomb here? This fengshui master must have been trying to harm people, right? It’s such a trap!”
Luo Feng was not in a hurry. With only a few hundred treasure markers, it was likely not a large tomb. A large tomb would have had at least a thousand markers. If a prominent figure had hired a fengshui master, they would have certainly noticed this pattern and would not have chosen this burial site.
“Being a fengshui master is quite difficult, isn’t it? Having excellent fengshui is not enough, and poor fengshui isn’t acceptable either,” Luo Feng laughed. However, as he lowered his head, he spotted an old mountain ginseng.
“Wow! What a huge piece…”
Hastily, Luo Feng immediately began digging it up. The ginseng was quite large, and including its roots, measured about a meter long. After all, digging up ginseng required precision; one must extract it with its roots intact. [ Ding! Forest ginseng! Valued at 1.2 million yuan! ]
Luo Feng was momentarily stunned. Upon closer inspection, it indeed was forest ginseng. But 1.2 million? Why was it so expensive? Forest ginseng was not as valuable as wild mountain ginseng. A decades-old wild mountain ginseng would cost tens of thousands, and the ones worth hundreds of thousands or millions were mostly inflated prices. So why was this forest ginseng so pricey? Was it a bug in the system?
Forest ginseng, also known as cultivated mountain ginseng, was produced when artificially sown ginseng seeds were scattered in a natural environment, left to grow on their own without transplanting, trellising, fertilizing, applying pesticides, weeding, or tilling. About ten years later, the semi-wild mountain ginseng would be harvested.
But the main root of this forest ginseng was white, making it look more like wild mountain ginseng than forest ginseng. How peculiar! However, the system notification confirmed that it was forest ginseng.
Soon, the ginseng was extracted. Luo Feng silently observed for a few minutes before discovering more treasure markers ahead. After digging them up…
[ Ding! Forest ginseng: Valued at 160 yuan! ]
What on earth was this?
“Damn it!” Luo Feng exclaimed. “Two wild mountain ginsengs have appeared in one place!”
He refused to believe it and continued digging. Yet, within a hundred meters, he found even more ginseng.
“Goodness, are there that many ginseng plants in the Qinling Mountains?
Should we form a team to dig them up?”
“There are so many! What kind of luck does the host have?” In any case, the viewers of the livestream were green with envy.
“Ding! Forest ginseng! Valued at 1.3 million yuan!”
Luo Feng’s eyebrows furrowed like hemp rope. He was truly speechless. What was going on here?
“Could it be that these forest ginsengs were buried by ancient people?”
“If ginseng cultivation began in the Jin Dynasty, then could these ginseng plants be hundreds or even thousands of years old?”
“Even the most exceptional ginseng would not be more than 200 years old, which would place it at most in the Qing Dynasty.”
Although plants can survive indefinitely, they require ideal conditions to do so. It is clear that very few ginseng plants, or any plants for that matter, encounter such ideal environments. Consequently, the existence of thousand-year-old ginseng is simply impossible.
Luo Feng speculated that these ginseng plants were most likely scattered by ancient people.
“Could it be that these are not first-generation ginseng plants, but rather the offspring of the original forest ginseng seeds?”
“If these are not the first generation, then how many ginseng plants were grown here in the past, considering there are still so many here now?”
He looked up at the mountain, wondering how, after hundreds or even thousands of years, there could still be such a dense concentration of ginseng. Was an entire mountainside planted with ginseng back then?
After all, like weeds, ginseng can take root wherever it lands, provided there is a large enough quantity of soil. Carried by the wind, the seeds would easily root.
He continued digging and found yet another ginseng plant. By the end of the day, Luo Feng had unearthed a total of 188 ginseng plants….
