Chapter 2313: Chapter 2314: The Ginseng Doll (First Update)
The last time Yue Qinghuan came, Godfall Valley was just an ordinary gorge.
But in such a short time, Godfall Valley has transformed into what it is now.
This naturally left Yue Qinghuan stunned.
At that moment, a timid voice sounded from beside him.
"Are you here to see the Divine Doctor and Sister Long?"
Xue An and his companion turned their heads and saw a chubby little child peeking out from behind a tree not far away, looking at them.
The reason for using the pronoun "a" is because there is a tuft of red tassels growing on this little child’s head, obviously not a member of the Human Clan.
Yue Qinghuan’s eyes widened, "A ginseng baby?"
That’s right!
The one cautiously peering out at them with a chubby little head was indeed a ginseng baby.
It’s known that for plants and trees to gain essence is a thousand times harder than for other creatures, even more so for ginseng as a precious medicinal herb.
And given the size of this ginseng baby, it evidently has deep cultivation.
Even Xue An couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow slightly.
This Godfall Valley... is indeed interesting.
And after hearing Yue Qinghuan’s words, this ginseng baby bravely stepped out from behind the tree and shyly said.
"My name is Ah Qi, are you here to seek the Divine Doctor and Sister Long?"
That adorable look made Yue Qinghuan’s eyes light up.
Few girls can resist such cute temptation.
So she smiled and nodded, "Yes!"
"Phew!" Ah Qi let out a breath and then shouted towards the back of the tree.
"Come on out, everyone, this sister is not a bad person!"
With his call, a spectacular lineup emerged from behind the tree.
There were three-seven roots with strange flowers on their heads, half-morphed he shou wu, and even a little spirit beast with a lingzhi mushroom head wobbling as it walked.
It was indeed a grand gathering of various rare herbs.
Yue Qinghuan was dumbfounded, looking at this scene in disbelief.
Ah Qi proudly introduced, "Sister, these are all my younger brothers, this is Xiao Jiu, this is Xiao Shisan...."
As he spoke, he made a show of telling these spirits, "Greet the sister!"
These spirits wobbled and bowed, calling out.
"Hello, sister!"
"This... this..." Yue Qinghuan didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Xue An chuckled lightly, "So many precious herbs, they must taste good when eaten."
Hearing this, these spirits seemed greatly frightened and dispersed like startled birds and beasts, hiding behind the tree.
Even Ah Qi was no exception.
Yue Qinghuan gave Xue An a helpless glance and then patiently explained, "Don’t be afraid, he doesn’t mean any harm, he’s just joking with you!"
Upon hearing her explanation, these spirits cautiously came out again, but maintained a wary distance from Xue An.
Then Yue Qinghuan gently asked, "Are all of you spirits living here?"
"Yes, yes, and it’s not just us, but many others live in the village up ahead!"
"Oh?" Yue Qinghuan was surprised.
"A village?"
"Yes! Sister, aren’t you here to see the Divine Doctor and Sister Long? They haven’t come out of seclusion yet, you have to wait for them in the village!" Ah Qi said.
"Can we be invited to this village you mentioned?"
"Of course!"
For some reason, this ginseng-transformed Ah Qi and the other spirits seemed to greatly trust Yue Qinghuan.
The little spirits hopped along the path leading the way, with Xue An and Yue Qinghuan following behind.
Halfway down the road, Yue Qinghuan couldn’t help but ask.
"What do you think?"
"About what?"
"Come on, obviously about what’s going on with Godfall Valley! There was nothing like this the last time I was here; why has it changed so much this time, and why are there so many spirits now?"
"To answer that... I think we need to personally ask the Ghost Needle Divine Doctor!" Xue An replied calmly.
The group continued forward along the forest path.
Soon, they emerged from the dense forest, and a village came into view in the distance.
Ah Qi excitedly said, "Sister Yue, that’s our village up ahead, come with me!"
The group quickened their pace and soon arrived at the village.
Although called a village, it was really just some thatched huts, but they were very tidy, adding a unique charm to this idyllic setting.
Along the way, Ah Qi had already sent word to notify the village, so when they arrived, all the villagers came out to greet them.
Seeing the villagers, whether they were spirits of plants or natural spirits, even Xue An couldn’t help raising an eyebrow.
Because he finally noticed a subtle commonality among these people.
However, he remained silent, simply watching.
In contrast, Yue Qinghuan was warmly welcomed, surrounded by a throng of little spirits who could barely walk steadily.
Just then, an old voice came from behind the crowd.
"Welcome to both of you, please come in!"
Upon hearing this voice, the spirits instinctively parted to make way, and an elderly man with a head full of white hair walked over.
This elder had an extraordinary aura, yet his presence was very low-key.
The most important thing was, he was an authentic member of the Human Clan.
Seeing him, Xue An couldn’t help but squint slightly.
"Hehe, you’ve traveled a long way, you must be tired, but the Divine Doctor is still in seclusion, please come into the village and rest for a while!" the elder said with a smile.
His speech and demeanor were flawless.
Yue Qinghuan looked at Xue An, seeking his opinion.
Seeing Xue An’s thoughtful look, he finally nodded.
"Very well!"
The two of them followed him into the village.
Though the village was small, it had everything it needed, including a reception hall.
When Xue An and Yue Qinghuan took their seats, a large butterfly spirit flew in carrying two cups.
Then, two bee spirits landed on the cups and began secreting nectar.
In a short while, two cups of fragrant nectar were prepared.
But neither Yue Qinghuan nor Xue An reached for the nectar.
Because the way those bee spirits were working on the cups reminded them too much of something unpleasant.
"Where do you come from? Why are you seeking the Divine Doctor?" the elder asked, laughing as he approached and sat opposite them.
Xue An remained silent, so Yue Qinghuan pondered for a moment and then replied.
"We come from the Bing Family, hoping the Divine Doctor can treat my brother’s illness!"
