Chapter 271: Chapter 270: The Whereabouts of the Red Training Snake King

Zhang Xiaoshan had walked about a kilometer into the mountain before he stopped, chose not to continue forward, and turned his body toward the left side of the mountain, threading his way through the steep woodland.

Because he had walked the path directly ahead several times before, and there was basically nothing to gain from it, he thought that the unexplored sides might yield some unexpected discoveries.

His idea was correct, indeed, as his bag was already filled to a large extent as he searched.

They were all old herbs, and although none was as magical as the Stone Clinging Ganoderma, they were all thirty to forty years old and had extraordinary effects.

If sold, they would fetch at least a hundred thousand.

"It seems that this back mountain is really a treasure trove; I need to search it thoroughly when I have some free time."

"Especially in the deep parts of the mountain."

Zhang Xiaoshan stood behind a small hillock and gazed back.

According to what Susu had told him, her spirit was attracted to this place by some peculiar force, and in addition to that, there were so many rare and marvelous treasures in these mountains, so the depths of the back mountain definitely contained something extraordinary.

"Just wait, once I have completely achieved Qi Transformation, I must explore those depths to quietly find out what is really going on."

Zhang Xiaoshan silently made up his mind.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoshan glanced and noticed something incredible.

A few hundred meters away, in a patch of grass, the grass was already flattened, and a small tree was also pressed down to the ground.

"Is that a drag mark?"

"Could it be that beast?"

Zhang Xiaoshan hurriedly ran over.

Following the drag marks for a few steps, he found several scales the size of a child’s palm.

The scales were red and quite eerie. Next to them, there were some blackened and congealed bloodstains, and the trees nearby had already died, obviously from a potent poison.

"It is indeed that beast, the Red Training Snake King."

Zhang Xiaoshan’s expression immediately became sharp.

Last time he was careless and was ambushed by the Red Training King Snake; he and his sister-in-law almost died in the mountains. Afterwards, the Red Training King Snake faked its death and escaped a disaster. The Red Training Snake King was extremely aggressive, and even more vengeful than it was aggressive. He had just taken one-third of the Stone Clinging Ganoderma, and the Red Training Snake King was able to ambush him. He had now taken the entire Stone Clinging Ganoderma and had almost killed the Red Training Snake King, would the Red Training Snake King let it go easily?

Not to exaggerate, but now it was a life-and-death situation between Zhang Xiaoshan and the Red Training Snake King.

It was all about who struck first.

Rather than being targeted by the Red Training Snake King, always cautiously guarding against ambush, it would be better to strike first.

The best defense is offense.

Moreover, the body of the Red Training Snake King was a treasure, especially the gallbladder that had absorbed hundreds of years of the essence of the sun and moon.

Now, Zhang Xiaoshan was at a critical moment of True Qi Transformation. If he could obtain the gall of the Red Training King Snake, he would have a ninety percent certainty.

A great opportunity lay right before him, and Zhang Xiaoshan did not want to miss it.

He followed the trail.

Approximately twenty minutes.

Zhang Xiaoshan arrived at the edge of a cliff.

"My God?"

When he stood at the edge of the cliff, Zhang Xiaoshan was completely stunned.

A sea of flowers.

An endless sea of flowers.

The cliff was not very high, probably only about twenty to thirty meters, and because there were many protruding rocks and trees, it would not be difficult for ordinary people to descend.

Below the cliff, however, was an extremely flat basin.

By estimation, it was over five hundred meters wide and the length was invisible at one glance, at least, at least it spanned six to seven hundred acres.

In the basin, there were no extraneous plants, only some small green trees, and on top of these small trees blossomed small flowers with gold and silver hues.

These little flowers interwoven together, creating a gigantic sea of flowers.

Standing at the edge of the cliff, with the breeze blowing over, the air was filled with a thick fragrance of flowers, refreshing to the soul.

Yet Zhang Xiaoshan’s focus was not on this beautiful scenery.

"Hahaha, I’ve struck it rich, I’ve really struck it rich this time."

"Hahaha."

Looking at that vast sea of flowers, his eyes squinted with laughter.

Because this was not an ordinary ornamental plant, but a medicinal herb—honeysuckle.

Honeysuckle, also known as Honeysuckle.

The name "honeysuckle" comes from the Compendium of Materia Medica; because Honeysuckle flowers initially open white and later turn yellow, hence the name honeysuckle. The medicinal honeysuckle comes from the Caprifoliaceae family and the Lonicera genus, including dried buds or flowers that have just started to bloom.

Honeysuckle blooms in March, with five stalks, and is faintly fragrant with red pedicels. It is white when first blooms and turns yellow after one or two days, hence the name honeysuckle. Also, because one stalk yields two flowers, with two floral filaments sticking out, inseparable and appearing as if a pair of mandarin ducks are dancing together, it is also called Mandarin Duck Vine.

Historically known for its heat-clearing and detoxifying properties. It is sweet and cold in nature, its pleasant aroma penetrating and capable of dispelling pathogenic factors.

Honeysuckle can disperse wind-heat and is also good at clearing blood toxins, effective for various heat-related diseases such as body heat, rashes, spots, toxic sores, throat swelling and pain, among other symptoms.

The unit price of this medicinal material cannot compare with the ginseng, but its audience is large; almost all Western medicines for clearing heat and detoxification contain honeysuckle.

In the market, the demand for honeysuckle has always exceeded the supply, and the price is generally around one hundred yuan per kilogram.

And here, there was such a large sea of honeysuckle.

The value was definitely over ten million.

"Heaven, am I about to become rich overnight?"

Zhang Xiaoshan excitedly howled.
