Mu Ling 'er was indeed in the snowy mountain medicine fields.
The three snowy mountains in the western part of Northern Li were connected together. All three of them ran north and south in a straight line, forming a wall between Northern Li and Wintercrow Country. The entire mountain range was called the Jia Shen Mountain Range. From south to north, each mountain was taller than the last.
Jun Yi Xie and the Mu Clan had worked together to open up large patches of ice and snow medicine fields on the mountainsides of the three snowy mountains. But only the first snowy mountain had been planted for a season, while the other two were still abandoned. Originally, after Han Yunxi and Medicine Ghost Valley had joined forces to monopolize all the medicine sold in Medicine City, Jun Yi Xie and Cloud Realm Trade Consortium had planned to develop the medicine fields on the snowy mountains. But that plan had ended before it could even begin.
Mu Ling 'er had been staying on the mountainside for half a month now, accompanied by the still missing Big White. Big White had been following her ever since she left the army camp.
She was planning to return to Medicine City and wait until summer to explore the snowy mountains again. However, seeing that Da Bai was following her around, she became restless. After preparing for three days, she brought Big White to the snowy mountains.
She had already learned from the Mu Clan that the Mu Clan and Jun Yi Xie were working together to develop the medicine fields on the snowy mountains. Their main goal was to grow Snow Jade Cordyceps.
Snow Jade Cordyceps was an extremely precious medicinal ingredient that was almost extinct among all the other cordyceps. As one of the best wild nourishing medicinal ingredients, Snow Jade Cordyceps were crazily sought after by countless nobles. Unfortunately, the number of such ingredients had dwindled over the past ten years. It was already considered a lot to harvest ten cordyceps each year.
The rarity of Snow Jade Cordyceps had something to do with its formation. That's right, this type of medicinal ingredient wasn't simply grown or grown, but "formed."
Every winter, a type of ginseng called Snow Ginseng would grow on the snowy mountains. This type of ginseng was buried deep in the snow and was extremely small. The largest of them was only as big as a child's pinky finger.
In the spring of the next year, a group of beautiful butterflies would fly to the snowy mountains. Each of them was as big as a palm, and their bodies were like white jade. They were clean and flawless, so they were called Jade Butterflies. The Jade Butterfly laid eggs in the snow, and after the baby Jade Butterfly was born, it would burrow into the snow to find the roots of the Snow Ginseng and eat it. When the baby Jade Butterfly ate the snow ginseng, most of them would freeze to death in the snow. As a result, the corpses of the snow ginseng and the baby Jade Butterfly would grow together. In the early winter of the next year, they would grow into a Snow Jade Cordyceps that was both a plant and an animal.
How did the Jade Butterfly Cub and the Snow Ginseng grow together? No one knew the reason behind this. However, it took the Mu family and Jun Yi Xie three years to figure out where the Snow Jade Cordyceps came from. Jun Yi Xie died, and the Mu family was defeated. This secret fell into the hands of Mu Ling 'er.
In order to obtain more Snow Jade Cordyceps, Jun Yi Xie and the Mu family cultivated the snowy mountain herb field. In the winter, they artificially planted large amounts of Snow Ginseng for the Jade Butterflies to lay eggs. They even began to research how to attract more Jade Butterflies to the herb field, as well as how to raise them. However, before they could even try, the cooperation was broken.
Mu Ling 'er also wanted to see what the Jade Butterflies looked like. It would be best if she could catch a few and raise them. Thus, with Da Bai's protection, she resolutely decided to take the risk and climb the snowy mountain.
The Jade Butterflies would only appear for a few days in the early spring. At that time, the snow would melt, so it was impossible to climb the mountain. Thus, if she wanted to see the Jade Butterflies, she could only spend the winter on the snowy mountain and wait until spring.
In fact, Mu Ling 'er was not impulsive. After all, the Mu family and Jun Yi Xie had cooperated before. She also understood the situation on the snowy mountain herb field. Not only did she bring Da Bai, but she also brought a lot of food and daily necessities.
The tall Da Bai seemed to have become her horse. Not only did he have to carry her, but he also had to help her carry a lot of things. Mu Ling 'er brought a lot of food, a large bedding, several sets of clothes, boots, and even cooking pots and pans. One could imagine how much work Da Bai had to do.
However, Da Bai was very willing. He was especially happy along the way. When they encountered some small beasts, he also turned a blind eye and let them go.
There were several abandoned stone houses beside the herb field. Mu Ling 'er found the warmest one and tidied it up. Then, she and Da Bai stayed there.
Mu Ling 'er stayed for a night before she realized that she had forgotten to bring charcoal. She was so cold that she almost fell sick. Fortunately, she had the habit of carrying medicinal pills with her. She was fine after taking a few pills.
She looked around and actually found a large pile of charcoal and firewood in the most remote stone house. There were also many daily necessities. These were probably left behind by the previous herb farmers.
The charcoal was used for warmth and the firewood was used for cooking. Just like that, Mu Ling 'er stayed in the snow mountain herb field.
After a few days of acclimatization, she dug up a few snow ginseng to study. She even dug up a snow jade cordyceps that hadn't been picked yet.
Mu Ling 'er was overjoyed. She yelled in the snow, "Da Bai! Da Bai, come and see! "
Da Bai lay beside her. He looked lazy and adorable, but in reality, he maintained a high level of vigilance. He knew that there were many wolves, tigers, and leopards on this snow mountain.
He originally wanted to follow Miss Ling 'er and find out where she went before telling his master. However, who knew that Miss Ling' er would treat him as a horse and bring him up the snow mountain.
Miss Ling 'er was the girl that his master risked his life to save. His master must like her very, very much. Thus, he had to protect Miss Ling' er no matter what.
Da Bai hurriedly stood up and shook off the snow on his body. He ran over excitedly.
Mu Ling 'er placed the small snow jade cordyceps in her palm for him to see. "Look, I found a treasure! This is good stuff! "
Da Bai didn't know what Miss Ling 'er was doing here, nor did he know how precious this small cordyceps was. However, he knew that Miss Ling' er was very happy. He rubbed his nose against Mu Ling 'er's hand in response.
"Here you go! Thank you for your hard work, "Mu Ling 'er said earnestly.
Da Bai glanced at the cordyceps. He didn't seem to be very interested.
Mu Ling 'er brought the cordyceps to his mouth. Only then did he use his tongue to roll the small cordyceps into his mouth. He swallowed it without even chewing.
After Jun Yi Xie's partnership with the Mu Family was terminated, the cordyceps that were cultivated and wild were all gone. This was because no medicine farmers dared to go up the snow mountain again.
If Mu Ling 'er were to buy these cordyceps on the black market, they would definitely be sold for an extremely high price. Even if she didn't buy them, she could still eat them herself. However, she rewarded Da Bai just like that, and the silly Da Bai simply ate them.
When she started, Da Bai was also happy. It had nothing to do with value or utility. It was just that simple and pure. There was no need to explain it to outsiders.
A few days later, it began to snow heavily. Mu Ling 'er and Da Bai hid in the stone house and didn't go out. Mu Ling 'er knew that Da Bai was a carnivore, so she specially prepared some cured meat.
She clamped a metal rack over the stove and hung the cured meat on top of it to roast. After a while, the cured meat sizzled with oil and exuded an extremely alluring aroma.
Da Bai wanted nothing more than to pounce on the cured meat and gobble it up. However, he resisted the urge and patiently waited for Miss Ling 'er to finish roasting the cured meat.
Mu Ling 'er asked as she roasted the cured meat, "Does that baddie roast meat for you often?"
Da Bai's mind was completely focused on the cured meat. He didn't understand what she was saying, so he just nodded.
"That baddie also likes to eat meat, right?" Mu Ling 'er asked again.
Da Bai continued to nod.
"That baddie is really baddie! I curse him to stuff a piece of meat between his teeth every time he eats! " Mu Ling 'er started to mutter to herself, "No no, I curse him to grow cavities in his teeth and become a vegetarian for the rest of his life!"
Da Bai nodded vigorously. His soul was completely captivated by the aroma of the cured meat. Finally, Da Bai couldn't take it anymore and allowed Mu Ling 'er to continue talking. He drooled as he got up and lay down on the stove.
Just as Da Bai was about to eat all the cured meat in one bite, he suddenly stopped. His eyes, which had been infatuated, immediately turned cold and fierce.
He sensed movement outside the house!
He immediately jumped down and ran to the door, indicating to Mu Ling 'er that there was danger outside. Mu Ling 'er was alarmed. Something that could cause Da Bai to be so vigilant had to be quite dangerous.
Along the way to the snowy mountains, many wild beasts would voluntarily make way for Da Bai. Normally, it wouldn't be wild beasts that came looking for them. Could it be that someone had come looking for them?
Mu Ling 'er was puzzled. She really couldn't think of anyone who would come here.
She cautiously lifted the curtain and looked outside. It would've been better if she didn't look, but she was immediately given a fright.
Heavens!
There was a large pack of snow leopards outside. There were at least fifty of them, and all of them were extremely ferocious. They were all staring at her stone house. What shocked her the most was that there was a woman standing in the pack of snow leopards. Her facial features were well-defined, and she was extremely beautiful.
Moreover, this woman was dressed like a hunter. Her legs were as wide as her shoulders, and she stood with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She looked extremely domineering. Mu Ling 'er took a closer look and even discovered that there was a dagger at her waist. She had clearly brought the pack of snow leopards here. They were all well-trained, and there were fifty of them standing in a very neat formation.
"Who is she?" Mu Ling 'er muttered to herself. She looked toward Da Bai and saw that he had already opened his mouth wide, revealing his fangs.
Mu Ling 'er couldn't help but ponder a question. If this woman had ill intentions, would Da Bai be able to defeat those fifty snow leopards?
It had to be said that Mu Ling 'er was a little worried. She thought that even if Da Bai could defeat those snow leopards, it would definitely be very difficult. Otherwise, Da Bai wouldn't have revealed such an expression.
What should she do?
Just as Mu Ling 'er was feeling anxious, the woman outside the door shouted, "Hey, listen up, this herb field belongs to me. If you don't want to die, then come out and apologize to me. I'm a great person who won't hold a grudge against you, and I'll spare your life! "
Mu Ling 'er was initially still worried, but upon hearing this, her anger flared up. She opened the door and walked out with Da Bai!
Da Bai's aura clearly intimidated the fifty snow leopards, and they all retreated.
The woman was very surprised, but she quickly regained her composure. She said coldly, "You're just a tiger. How dare you show off in front of me? You're asking for death!"
Mu Ling 'er was completely baffled. Who on earth came to show off in front of them?!
Mu Ling 'er was just about to retort when the woman suddenly blew a sharp whistle. Not long after, a large pack of wolves ran out from the forest around the herb field. There were about a hundred of them, and they all surrounded them!
Mu Ling 'er was dumbstruck. "Da Bai, she's trying to cause trouble!"
