"Well, thank you, Uncle Ha. This is for you!"
Zhao Min took out an envelope. Inside the envelope was 10,000 yuan prepared in advance. Uncle Ha took it and directly took it out. In front of Zhao Min, he counted it.
Zhao Min didn't seem to mind at all. After a while, Uncle Ha finished counting the money and warned them to be careful again before leaving.
"I've known about this place for a long time, but I haven't been here yet. The people here call this canyon the Man-eating Valley. They say there are man-eating monsters inside. I think there was a TV station that came to interview me before. They said that it's just that the miasma inside is heavy, so we can't stay for long!"
Zhao Min explained in a low voice. He had been here for so many years and he knew a lot of legends, but he never really cared about them. When he was young, who didn't have a few scary legends around them? The villagers here believed it, but he didn't believe it.
At least for so many years, there were many people who mistakenly entered the Man-eating Valley, such as Uncle Ha and the TV station reporters, but no one died inside.
"This detector of mine can detect some harmful gases!"
Changfeng took out a small detector. He knew that they were going to enter the mountain this time, so he was well prepared. In his big backpack, there were all kinds of things that could be used, and the detector was one of them.
"Let's go in and take a look. If there's danger, we'll retreat!"
Gu Zheng said. They came here to try their luck. It would be best if they could find it, but if they couldn't, they shouldn't be disappointed. As long as they tried their best.
The inside of the canyon was different from the outside. At a height of more than five meters, there was a layer of faint white fog. Changfeng went to check it first. This was all ordinary fog and was not harmful.
The three of them, Zhao Min walked in the front, Changfeng in the middle, and Gu Zheng at the back. The three of them formed a straight line and could take care of each other. Zhao Min had more experience in the mountains than them. He led the way in front, Changfeng mainly observed whether there was any danger, and Gu Zheng paid attention to the surroundings to see if there was anything useful.
"Artifact Spirit, as long as there's something useful, you'll be able to detect it, right?"
What Zhao Min and Changfeng didn't know was that Gu Zheng was communicating with the Artifact Spirit in his mind. When he came here to look for the Artifact Spirit, Gu Zheng asked the Artifact Spirit if it had any way to help him.
After asking, the artifact spirit really did have a way. If Gu Zheng went to find useful ingredients himself, he could release his immortal energy. As long as there were any useful ingredients within the range of his immortal energy, the artifact spirit would be able to find them.
Not only ordinary ingredients, but even second-grade and low-grade ingredients could be found.
"Don't worry, I'll remind you about the ingredients above second-grade, but I won't mention anything below second-grade that isn't particularly useful. I don't have the time for that!"
The Artifact Spirit replied to Gu Zheng. Originally, according to its request, only ordinary ingredients would be reminded. In the end, it was Gu Zheng who strongly requested that not only ordinary, second-grade and low-grade ingredients be reminded. Second-grade ingredients could be found outside, but the quantity was very small. Since he came here and found it, he couldn't miss it.
As for low-grade ingredients, the Artifact Spirit really didn't want to pay attention to them. It could only change the reminder to useful ingredients and forget about useless ones.
Low-grade ingredients were still very common in the market. It wasn't a pity to miss some, as long as they were useful.
"Scottish Fold, second-grade!"
After walking for more than ten minutes, the Artifact Spirit suddenly reminded him that Scottish Fold was a kind of wild vegetable that tasted very good. It was sold in the city's market and in big restaurants. Nowadays, there were also artificial Scottish Fold, which was not a real wild vegetable.
Second-grade Scottish Fold was a very good ingredient. Gu Zheng stopped Changfeng and Zhao Min, took a small shovel, and quickly dug out this piece of wild vegetable.
"Mr. Gu, how did you find it?"
Zhao Min also noticed the wild vegetable that Gu Zheng dug out. He was in this line of work and could see that the wild vegetable dug out by Gu Zheng was very good. This kind of wild vegetable could be sold for some money.
"I'm a food critic. I'm very sensitive to food and can cook. My eyes only pay attention to these, so I can find it!"
Gu Zheng explained with a smile. How long had it been, and he had already harvested a second-grade ingredient. Even if he didn't find the Jade Poria today, this trip would not be in vain. He was in a very good mood.
"So that's how it is!"
Zhao Min smiled. Gu Zheng said that he was a food critic, but he didn't care. A food critic couldn't be so important to Qiao Fei. He had never seen Qiao Fei so flustered.
However, since Gu Zheng said so, he didn't intend to get to the bottom of it. He thought that Gu Zheng didn't want to say.
Changfeng was even more indifferent. He only wanted auxiliary materials that could be used to treat his grandfather. Knowing that the one that Gu Zheng dug out couldn't be used, he didn't ask.
More than an hour passed quickly. The three of them had already gone deep into the canyon. They had already passed the place where Uncle Ha found the Jade Poria last time.
Gu Zheng's immortal power stretched out to a range of five meters. In other words, only useful ingredients within five meters could be detected by the artifact spirit. Beyond this range, even if there was an ordinary ingredient, the artifact spirit couldn't detect it.
But fortunately, this canyon wasn't very wide. Gu Zheng still thought that if one trip wasn't enough, he would go twice. If two trips weren't enough, he would go thrice. At most, he would walk through this canyon once. If he really didn't find the Jade Poria or anything else that could be used, then it could only be said that they didn't have the luck and would think of other ways.
Moreover, he really didn't come in vain this time. In more than an hour, he had already found three second-grade ingredients and one low-grade ingredient that wasn't bad. There were indeed more good things in the deep mountains than outside.
"Mr. Gu, Mr. Chang, look over there!"
After walking for another half an hour, Zhao Min suddenly stopped and called out to Gu Zheng and Changfeng. The fog here was much thicker than at the entrance of the canyon. There was white fog three meters above their heads, and there was also white fog in front of them. The visibility was less than fifty meters.
Changfeng's detector was taken out from time to time to check. Now that the oxygen concentration had decreased, there were no other harmful gases. However, if this continued, they would definitely have to go back. At night, the oxygen concentration would be even lower. It would be dangerous to stay.
"What's that?"
Zhao Min was talking about a slope 30 meters ahead. There was a patch of lush green things growing on the slope. These lush green things reflected a kind of beautiful light under the illumination of the light.
"Jade Poria!"
Gu Zheng suddenly called out. The slope in front of them was actually filled with Jade Poria. The reflection was the unique emerald green light of the Jade Poria. The reason why the Jade Poria had the word 'jade' in its name was because after it matured, its surface would be emerald green and smooth like jade.
"This is the Jade Poria. There are so many of them?"
Changfeng was also stunned. The slope was filled with this kind of green. It was densely packed and at least a few dozen square meters. In Changfeng's heart, since the Jade Poria was a top grade ingredient, it was a treasure. The environment it grew in must be very difficult or very rare. How could it be like here? It was just an ordinary slope, but there were so many of them.
"It's definitely the Jade Poria!"
Zhao Min's breathing also quickened. Jade Poria, this place was actually filled with Jade Poria. A large patch of Jade Poria.
The Jade Poria was a high grade ingredient. The one he bought last time was not complete. Moreover, it was very light, not even one liang. He bought it for ten thousand, but sold it to Qiao Fei for fifty thousand. There was a five times difference in the middle.
Even if he did not sell it to Qiao Fei and sold it to a medicinal herb collector, the Jade Poria that was less than one liang could be sold for thirty to forty thousand. The Jade Poria itself was very rare. In front of him was a complete Jade Poria. A complete Jade Poria was at least two liang. The market value of a complete Jade Poria was even higher. The market value of a complete Jade Poria was definitely more than one hundred thousand.
In front of him, there were at least a few hundred complete Jade Poria. Moreover, it seemed that there were even bigger ones. The bigger the Jade Poria, the more valuable it was. If there was one that was more than five liang, then it would be worth at least a million.
A thousand year ginseng Jade Poria. Just think about the price of a thousand year ginseng and you would know how expensive a top grade Jade Poria was.
