Daily Life in the Countryside After Being Reborn

Chapter 721: Chapter 77: Truly Sinister, Truly Sinister (Part 2)

In any situation, saving people is the top priority.

Yet, Wang Fenglei is also just observing without taking action at the moment, suggesting the situation seems rather complex.

In his heart, Wang Fenglei also harbors some concerns, as Mei Nian, upon discovering this ginseng, was instantly frozen.

This proves that this ginseng and the hidden ginseng spiritual vein beneath it will not be so easily divided and taken by others. Instead of charging in and risking danger, it’s better to step back and observe from the sidelines.

Zhou Ziang briefly pondered and understood Xiao Xian’s thoughts, thus he stopped talking, only occasionally glancing at Yezi in the distance.

Oddly enough, that young man, after showing some excitement upon first meeting Xiao Xian, then subdued his actions, no longer focusing in their direction.

It seems like his thoughts, along with Xu Lan Ya and Wang Fenglei, have been captivated by the ginseng.

Due to this, Zhou Ziang felt even more uneasy; Xiao Xian and the man hadn’t spoken at all, their eye contact fleeting, yet they immediately acted like "strangers," an understanding which was quite displeasing to watch.

After Wang Fenglei examined it, his heart was greatly alarmed.

It has long been rumored within the domestic Cultivation World that the Changbai Mountain region is a cultivation haven for cultivators because of the naturally hidden Spirit Veins. When he was younger, in an effort to advance to Cangqiong Palace, he had also come to the Changbai Mountain area and endured hardships in cultivation. Back then, the Spiritual Energy in the Changbai Mountain area was much more abundant than in recent years.

After Wang Fenglei adopted Xiao Que, living here for over a decade, he gradually noticed a phenomenon: the weakening of Spiritual Energy over the years coincided with the decrease in wild ginseng.

Especially since the beginning of this spring, the ginseng sprinkled on the mountains by ginseng farmers seldom sprouted.

It was precisely this situation that affected the ginseng business of wholesalers including "Plum Rice Ball."

Not to mention, the Xu Family had purchased and supplied a large quantity of garden ginseng, resulting in a "wild ginseng scarcity" domestically.

Initially, Wang Fenglei and other domestic experts thought it was due to environmental impacts. Ginseng thrives in the cold, and with the global temperature continuously rising, coupled with human and various other factors, it now seems that the cause was this very ginseng.

Before entering Snow Gully, Wang Fenglei had thought that the so-called ginseng spiritual vein ought to be linear or even belt-shaped.

Now seeing it, let alone linear, the so-called ginseng spiritual vein was merely the size of a point, precisely this piece of top-grade ginseng, which had absorbed all the Spiritual Energy meant for the entire Changbai Mountain base.

Wang Fenglei frowned, finding the situation tricky.

"Senior, is there a problem? Do you need me to have people come down from above and use some extraordinary measures?" Since people have already descended to the bottom of the gully and confirmed the depth of Snow Gully, Aisha and the others were emboldened. Even if it’s within North Korea, as long as more money is spent, some people can still be found.

"Look up above, it’s different from when we just came down," Yezi looked up towards the top of Snow Gully.

When they had just descended, there was only a layer like snow mist - a white, opaque covering gas. After about half an hour, the density of that white mist increased significantly.

The wind and snow at the bottom of the gully had completely stopped, and the rustling sound of people moving through the snow was clearly audible.

Yezi grabbed a handful of snow barehanded, squeezed it tightly, and tossed it upwards. His arm strength was remarkable; this throw not only didn’t loosen the snow, but it turned as hard as ice. When thrown, it reached a height of over a hundred meters.

With a "bang", it seemed to hit the ice layer above, everyone at the bottom of the gully gasped in shock, the layer of snow mist had actually condensed into ice.

Aisha hurriedly took out the satellite communicator she was wearing, tried it, but there was no sound or display.

Xiao Xian felt somewhat relieved; it seemed her satellite phone would have been useless even if it hadn’t been smashed.

Wang Fenglei secretly exerted his Spiritual Power, only about ten percent remained.

Among the six of them, only Wang Fenglei had a slight remaining strength, but the situation was not in his favor. Though he was full of Spiritual Power, he was the oldest among the six. With the decline of Spiritual Power, the disadvantage of age became more pronounced.

If he really wanted to show off and fight for the ginseng, using his last bit of Spiritual Power, unable to contact the people on top of Snow Gully, he would be the most disadvantaged.

Thinking of this, Wang Fenglei suddenly remembered Xiao Xian’s earlier forbearance and was shocked; perhaps that young girl had thought of this and deliberately conceded the Spirit Vein.

Wang Fenglei couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart; he was truly in a predicament.

Inside Snow Gully, the temperature dropped a few more degrees.

The air became dense, and everyone’s eyes turned toward that ginseng. Just now, all the purple-white flowers of the ginseng had fallen, and after the flowers, a cluster of red fruits formed.

"Not good," Wang Fenglei felt the ten percent of Spiritual Energy in his body diminishing at a rate as fast as ice and snow melting after rain, "This old man gives up on this ginseng. Whoever it is, quickly dig up that ginseng, otherwise, by the time those ginseng whiskers occupy the entire Snow Gully, we will all be trapped and die here."

Those ginseng whiskers, thin as silk, were rapidly growing and spreading towards both sides of Snow Gully.

Even a person like Wang Fenglei was panicking like this, let alone Xu Lan Ya, Aisha, and others.

"Lan Ya, Uncle Xu entrusted you with finding the ginseng spiritual vein during this trip, and since Senior Wang has no intention of taking this ginseng, why aren’t you hurrying up to harvest it," Aisha urged her. Although the ginseng spiritual vein is valuable, it doesn’t compare to life.

"Aisha, quit using me as your target. If you’re capable, go check it out yourself. It’s just a ginseng, our Xu Family doesn’t even regard it," Xu Lan Ya saw Wang Fenglei’s deteriorating expression and glanced at Mei Nian, who had been frozen into a statue, growing fearful and not daring to approach hastily.

While they were at a deadlock, Xiao Xian saw the opportunity had matured and spoke again, "Listening to you, does that mean no one wants this ginseng? Is this true?"

"This old man’s word counts. I won’t interfere with the matter of the ginseng anymore. Whoever has the means should step forward and try; to the victor go the spoils. This old man will be convinced," Wang Fenglei had already sat down, starting to regulate his breath to prevent further loss of Spiritual Power.
