Chapter 362: 0297: A rare treasure, Hua Mountain Sword Qi (Extra Chapter for 14 monthly tickets)

What would it be like to see ginseng grow into a tree?

Before Jiang Dali now was a Yellow Ginseng that stood four to five feet tall, practically a small tree.

A ginseng whose roots alone measured a foot was already exceedingly rare.

This Yellow Ginseng, stretching four to five feet long, was said to be over a thousand years old; looking at it now, Jiang Dali felt inclined to believe it.

"What is this curious and uncommon fruit? It looks like Yellow Ginseng, but since when does Yellow Ginseng grow so large?"

Kou Zhong sneaked in stealthily, warily glanced at the Divine Phoenix, then turned to Jiang Dali and asked, adding, "I even thought about plucking this thing to brew some soup, must be some high-end ingredient, right? Who knew this flat-haired beast would guard it with its life.

I took the risk and bit into it, nearly broke my damn teeth.

It smells fragrant, but it seems to have turned into a fossil. I couldn’t be bothered to compete with the beast for it anymore."

Hearing this, Jiang Dali sneered, replying indifferently, "This is Yellow Ginseng alright, but because it has lived too long, it’s turned into a fossil. The most precious thing isn’t the Yellow Ginseng itself."

With those words, Jiang Dali strode toward the opposite Yellow Ginseng Tree.

"Coo—"

The Divine Phoenix, initially trying to curry favor with the Demon Hawk, cried out when it saw Jiang Dali crossing the Thunder Pond toward the Yellow Ginseng Tree, flapping its wings aggressively and swooping at Jiang Dali.

Whoosh—

The Divine Phoenix half-soared, its robust and tough claws, sharp as hooks, tearing fiercely towards Jiang Dali with an intimidating force.

"Hmph! Monstrous creature! Don’t force me to take a life!"

The glint in Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed as his Gang Qi Realm burst forth, his momentum climbing to its peak in an instant.

Bang-crack!

Jiang Dali slapped his broadsword, sheath and all, into the ground, driving it deep into the earth; with a bend and stretch of his arms, an overwhelming momentum surged forth, meeting the Divine Phoenix’s claws with two heavy palms!

Roar!!!

His entire body momentarily turned the color of Green Gold, his muscles and bones resounding with a dragon’s roar, and his Black Cloak billowing straight behind him in an instant, a spinning Golden Bell Qi Shield erupts, its surface adorned with roaring dragon heads, an enormous spirit thrusting palms, dragon claws bursting with intense auras, and more.

Clang!!!

The moment the Divine Phoenix’s claws collided with Jiang Dali’s palm strike, a thunderous explosion reverberated.

The tremendous sound wave crazily echoed throughout Youluan Cave.

The entire cave seemed to violently tremble.

Kou Zhong, witnessing this, hastily fled from the cave with a change in complexion.

Boom!

Almost at the instant he stepped out, a ferocious Qi Force burst forth from the cave’s entrance, whipping countless vines around like whips.

The pitiful cries of the Divine Phoenix suddenly erupted within the cave.

Outside, Kou Zhong’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably, his heart racing, and he was too shocked to mock.

"Is this Black Wind Village Chief playing for real? He said he didn’t want to kill, yet his very first move almost brought the whole cave down. Isn’t that killing all the same?"

Kou Zhong stared at the dust-filled cave entrance, exhaled, and his expression grew even more solemn, feeling an immense pressure.

This Evil Star had seemingly grown much stronger in just the short two days they hadn’t seen each other, even his Realm had improved.

Had he received that palm strike, who knows, he might have been left half-dead, and it would only be thanks to the Longevity Technique that he would have a chance to survive.

Inside Youluan Cave, Jiang Dali rubbed his somewhat numb palms, his gaze approving as the Divine Phoenix, struck by his palm, flew and crashed into the cave wall, tumbling down.

This palm strike had re-established his mighty presence, recovering the ground he’d lost when the creature had forced him back a few steps earlier.

However, looking at the Divine Phoenix’s claws, now abnormally twisted, Jiang Dali frowned and noted that it had lost a quarter of its blood bar.

"It seems I may have used a bit too much force; the claws are even fractured. But fortunately, this beast is an Exotic beast with a long blood bar and tough resilience; this isn’t enough to cause serious injury or death."

Somewhat relieved inside, seeing the Divine Phoenix now simply wailing and struggling, with a look of both enmity and fear in its eyes toward him, Jiang Dali’s mouth curved in a satisfied smile.

Good to know it’s learned to fear.

As for enmity, it didn’t matter.

A few more beatings, and it would know nothing but fear; no other feelings would remain.

Chirp—

Just then, the Demon Hawk pounced on the Divine Phoenix but didn’t take advantage of the bird’s vulnerability to seek revenge. Instead, it only haughtily watched the struggling Divine Phoenix with an air of "You’re no match, after all, you can’t even beat my master."

Jiang Dali couldn’t be bothered with these two foolish birds and walked towards the Yellow Ginseng Tree.

The closer he got, the clearer the unique fragrance that cleared the mind and brightened the eyes.

This scent no longer resembled that of normal ginseng; it was as refreshing as orchids and musk, making one feel relaxed and utterly at ease with just one whiff.

"This must be the scent of Yellow Ginseng Juice within the Yellow Ginseng.

This scent, spreading out, signifies the continuous evaporation of the Yellow Ginseng Juice; if another few decades or a century pass, this thousand-year-old Yellow Ginseng Tree might not have any juice left; it would be completely evaporated."

Understanding this, Jiang Dali glanced at the largest branch of the Yellow Ginseng Tree, marked with a row of teeth impressions, and shook his head wryly.

Had he arrived any later, Kou Zhong might have accidentally broken through the surface of the Yellow Ginseng Tree and accessed the preserved Yellow Ginseng Juice within.

But that probability was actually not high.

Kou Zhong was a smart man.

Smart people typically don’t like making foolish mistakes.

After an attempt without any benefits, they usually wouldn’t try again.

Jiang Dali took out a jade bottle that he had already cleaned from his bosom, undid the stopper, and then suddenly his fingers, like a Double Dragon Pearl maneuver, gripped and directly "snap" cracked the surface of the Yellow Ginseng Tree, which was as hard as stone. Then, with a flex and extension of his two fingers, he sharply flicked it.

Bang!

The entire upper half of the Yellow Ginseng Tree instantly split and burst open.

Immediately, a large quantity of Yellow Ginseng Juice with an exotic fragrance splattered out.

Jiang Dali struck with his palm again, his palm power smooth and unbreakable.

The palm power instantly forced the splashed Yellow Ginseng Juice to a specific area, suddenly poured down with a whoosh, just right into the mouth of the jade bottle he held in his left hand.

At the same time, a set of message prompts also appeared on the panel.

"[Thousand-Year-Old Yellow Ginseng Juice]

Level: Tier 1 Rare Treasure

Effect: A miraculous Heavenly Talent and Earthly Treasure that revives the dead and mends the bones. Any person on the brink of death can recover their Essence Qi and escape death by taking more than ten drops. Ordinary people who take more than ten drops will experience advancement in their power and gain keen senses, while those who take more than a hundred drops will increase their power by sixty years, strengthen their physique, enhance their senses, and have a photographic memory.

Description: Juice formed by the concentrated essence within a thousand-year-old Yellow Ginseng that has turned into a living fossil. Extremely rare and priceless treasure!"

Gasp! —

Having read the message prompt on the panel, even someone as calm and collected as Jiang Dali couldn’t help but take a sharp breath, clutching his right fist fiercely, his face turning red, his heart pounding wildly, and his whole body excited as if set aflame.

He had already known that the Yellow Ginseng Juice would be incredibly precious, with powerful effects, but he hadn’t anticipated that it would be such a treasure.

Just from seeing the effects, he knew that obtaining such a rare treasure was like gaining a second life.

The so-called effect that any person on the brink of death could recover their Essence Qi and escape death was actually just for the natives.

For someone like him who also had player characteristics, what he feared most was the punishment of a fall in the Martial Arts Realm after death.

But after dying, as long as he took ten drops of this substance, he could avoid the punishment of a fall in the Martial Arts Realm.

In his previous life, the only things that could achieve the same effect were the Shaolin Great Rejuvenation Pill, Infinite Immortal Pill, and Heavenly Talent and Earthly Treasure like the hundred-year Vermilion Fruit and Immortal Peach.

However, Jiang Dali had only heard of those items in his previous life and had never had the privilege to own them.

Now, he owned a similar rare treasure, the Thousand-Year-Old Yellow Ginseng Juice.

Jiang Dali carefully inspected the remaining juice inside the Yellow Ginseng Tree Fossil again, and seeing there was still a bit left, he used his Inner Qi to carefully force it out and into his bottle. Then, he lightly tasted a drop of the residual juice with his tongue.

He felt the taste was spicy, and a weak heat surged into his body.

Checking his panel again.

He discovered his Qi-Blood limit had increased by 20 points and his Inner Qi by 50 points.

Jiang Dali’s eyes shone brightly, carefully sealed the jade bottle in his hand, shook it admiringly, and said, "Just a single drop has such an effect, I fear there may be around a hundred drops in this bottle.

If I were to consume them all, not only would I increase my power by sixty years, but the so-called strengthening of physique likely means a significant increase in Qi-Blood, enhanced senses probably means the enhancement of my five senses, and photographic memory likely refers to the improvement of my understanding and intelligence...

Unfortunately, this is a lifeline, I can only reserve it for critical moments before use."

Jiang Dali then carefully wrapped the jade bottle with a leather pouch and put it away.

He would have to later place this treasure in the hidden compartment of the Ice Soul Jade Chair on Demon Hawk’s back.

Such a treasure, only when it’s on Demon Hawk’s back, would he feel at ease, even Chu Liu Xiang wouldn’t be able to steal it.

Carrying it on his person was not safe either; any major battle could potentially shatter the jade bottle.

Having taken care of the matter at hand,

Jiang Dali then turned his attention to the two silly birds.

And he saw that the two silly birds were still getting along without trouble.

"Ready to leave!"

He conveyed the thought of leaving to Demon Hawk.

Demon Hawk instantly moved its body to follow.

Divine Phoenix immediately made an urgent and sad call, its bird’s eyes filled with reluctance and sorrow as it looked at Demon Hawk.

Squeak —

Demon Hawk, with an air of indifference, made a sound of impatience, resolutely followed Jiang Dali, and flew out of the cave.

Divine Phoenix cried mournfully, but suddenly saw Jiang Dali at the entrance of the cave beckoning it over, which made it hesitate for a moment before cautiously and nervously hopping towards the entrance.

"Did you find something good in the cave? Could it be that the Yellow Ginseng Fossil really is a treasure?"

Kou Zhong, seeing that Jiang Dali had taken a long time to come out and emitted a heartwarming exotic fragrance, couldn’t help but question him.

Jiang Dali chuckled coldly, "That’s none of your concern. But if you and Xu Ziling work hard for me, helping me conquer territories, indeed I can share some good things with you in the future. The village chief is not a petty person."

Saying this, he glanced at Divine Phoenix, who had emerged from the cave and was now flapping its wings towards Demon Hawk, and the corner of his eye could not help but reveal a trace of a smile.

It seemed that his own Demon Hawk had quite an attraction.

It made sense, as there were many birds in the world, but as far as he knew, birds as large as Demon Hawk were few and far between, perhaps only Yang Guo’s Brother Eagle.

For Divine Phoenix, with such a large body, finding a mate of the same size was indeed quite difficult.

After instructing Kou Zhong to set up the Ice Soul Jade Chair for Demon Hawk, Jiang Dali was about to rebind Duan Zhengchun and securely lock him up when he suddenly heard a clear and long whistle.

The next moment, he felt a piercingly intense Sword Intent coming from the western cliffside.

Jiang Dali’s expression suddenly changed.

"Hmm? Does Hua Mountain have such an expert? Could it be..."
