Chapter 409: Chapter 409, Free of Distractions
He reached out to help Han Tianci up, "Good child!"
"Master!"
Han Tianci was still very curious about this master of his.
Because what he had learned before was all taught by his grandfather, and it felt different from his master.
"Hmm!"
"Master!"
"Hmm!"
"Master!"
"Hmm!"
The two of them grew fond of each other; one called out and the other responded, and they played joyfully.
Chu Yu looked at Yun Jinnian in his arms and started to laugh.
Yun Jinnian glanced up and saw, "What are you laughing at?"
"I’m happy for you two!"
With the support of Moon Gazing Sect, even if something happened in the future, Nanjiang could protect the siblings.
"Thank you, Brother Chu!"
"No need to be polite!"
Once they passed through the bamboo forest, they saw a verdant woodland up ahead, seemingly comprised of various trees.
But beneath the trees were indeed ginseng plants, and some rotting logs also bore Lingzhi.
"..."
It was clear that no one had been here for a long time.
"Shall the Saintess quickly gather a few ginseng roots to take back?" asked the venerable monk.
Yun Jinnian shook her head slightly, "These ginseng roots and Lingzhi have been here for many years; it’s best not to harvest them!"
Having been in one place for so many years, they were likely to have developed spirits.
Ordinary people couldn’t possibly benefit from them; they would just carefully treasure them for life-preserving purposes.
"Since we’ve come, how can we return empty-handed!"
As the venerable monk spoke, he stretched out his hand and produced a small shovel from nowhere, then turned to Han Tianci and said, "Disciple, come help!"
"Yes, master!"
Elder Jin immediately prepared a brocade box.
Elder Mu placed the chair they brought in front of Yun Jinnian, and Chu Yu placed Yun Jinnian on the chair, "I’ll go see if I can help!"
"Alright!"
So many ginseng and Lingzhi plants were planted in this forest, and they appeared to be quite old. If one didn’t have some skill, they wouldn’t even reach this place—fearing they wouldn’t even survive halfway.
Chu Yu took a few steps forward, "Senior, do you need help?"
The venerable monk turned his head to glance at Chu Yu and chuckled, "Sure!"
Chu Yu immediately went forward to help, always feeling that the venerable monk was the old man from the cell, though they didn’t look quite the same.
But the feeling he got was of the same person.
It was strange to have such a feeling.
The three of them carefully excavated the soil and gingerly dug up the ginseng, ensuring even the smallest roots remained intact. Elder Jin hurriedly stepped forward, opened the brocade box, and the venerable monk placed the ginseng inside.
"Saintess, would you like to dig up another couple of roots?" asked the venerable monk.
Upon hearing this, Yun Jinnian told herself not to be greedy, but still couldn’t help nodding, "Sure!"
After digging up three ginseng roots and picking three Lingzhi, they started back the way they came.
Except for the venerable monk, no one was aware that the path on the way here had changed, only Yun Jinnian held in Chu Yu’s arms, her brows creasing more and more.
This entire land was infused with the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, and with his ability, he couldn’t unravel it.
Therefore, even if one knew of the presence of Thousand-Year Ginseng and Lingzhi here, they might not be able to enter.
Out of forty-nine paths, only one was the path of life; all the others were paths of death.
No one other than the venerable monk could come here.
Perhaps in the future, Tianci could!
This was what Chu Yu was thinking.
The group came out of the valley, crossed the lakes, and returned to the Moon Gazing Sect.
Yun Jinnian didn’t hesitate and immediately requested the presence of Elders Earth and Wood to remove the Poisonous Insect from Prince Yanjun.
"Elders Earth and Wood, my legs are not well; I trouble you with this task!"
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all!"
Prince Yanjun had already bathed, and his hair was tied up on his head, with only a pair of shorts covering his body.
Yun Jinnian took a look, very composed, her face not blushing in the slightest.
At that moment, in her eyes, there was no distinction between man and woman, only the simple and clear relationship of her being a doctor and Prince Yanjun being the patient.
No stray thoughts whatsoever.
