Half an hour later, two rays of sword light flew towards Liu Yu at high speed in the distance. It was Fang Lanlan, Sun Kang, Liang Zheng and He Anqing who rushed over following the instructions from the sect's jade plaque.
"Wow! Is this the Green Spirit Tree? It's so beautiful!" He Anqing jumped to the ground, looked up and said excitedly.
"The branches are lush and green, and the tree body is full of Qingling Qi. That's right, it's the Qingling tree." Sun Kang looked up and down and replied.
"Junior Brother Liu, thank you for your hard work!" Fang Lanlan said sincerely as she came to Liu Yu's side with a happy face on her face.
"Not bad! Junior brother Liu, senior sister will benefit from you this time." He Anqing said with a smile.
"Thank you, senior sister for the compliment!" Liu Yu replied with a slight smile.
"Senior Brother Sun, the tree has been found. What should we do next? Cut it down directly?" Liang Zheng also looked excited.
"First cut down the surrounding trees to clear a piece of land, and then dig out this Qingling tree." Sun Kang glanced at several big trees close to each other and said.
The five people began to chop down the surrounding trees with their swords, clearing an open space directly from the dense forest, and then dug up the entire Qingling tree by its roots and laid it down on the open space.
"Senior brother, look how long this Qingling tree has grown?" Fang Lanlan said expectantly. Because the longer the Qingling tree grows, the higher the value of the Qingling tree. If a few people are lucky, this is a thousand-year-old tree, and everyone will be rich.
"Senior Brother Sun, take a look quickly!" He Anqing also urged anxiously.
Sun Kang cut the huge Qingling tree into two sections with one sword. The lines on the fracture were extremely dense and surrounded in circles. Sun Kang knelt down and began to carefully count the growth rings one after another. The others were anxious on the side. Waiting.
"There are more than three hundred and forty circles!" Sun Kang said happily after counting.
"Such a big tree is only three hundred and forty years old!" He Anqing said disappointedly. He Anqing looked at the thick trunk and the furrowed bark, and thought it was a thousand-year-old tree!
"The older the Qingling tree is, the richer the Qingling Qi it emits, and the easier it is to be discovered. This one can grow to more than three hundred years, which is already very good!" Fang Lanlan said happily. With a smile on her face, she was a little surprised, because Fang Lanlan expected that this Qingling tree would only be more than two hundred years old at most.
"Junior sister is right, the bigger the Qingling tree is, the older it is. This Qingling tree has been established for hundreds of years, and will no longer grow new branches after a hundred years. The size will almost remain the same, but the Qingling Qi contained in the tree will change. The thicker it is, the rarer it is naturally." Sun Kang explained.
"Senior Brother Sun, how much spiritual stone is this Green Spirit Tree worth?" He Anqing asked nervously.
"Brother, I don't know very well. We can only find out when we return to Beiluan City!" Sun Kang shook his head and said.
"A green spirit tree that is three hundred and forty years old can be sold for at least 20,000 low-level spirit stones." Fang Lanlan said firmly.
"Sister Lan, is it true?" He Anqing asked excitedly. I thought that if I could sell it for more than 30,000 low-level spiritual stones, the five people would share it equally, and each person would get at least 6,000 low-level spiritual stones. The harvest from this trip to the mountain would be too rich.
"Junior sister, how did you know?" Sun Kang couldn't help but ask.
"My younger sister asked a senior fellow who works in Huanglingpu about the approximate price of Qingling tree. A one hundred-year-old Qingling tree costs about 10,000 low-level spiritual stones. The price every hundred years Then double it, this one is more than 340 years old and will definitely be sold for more than 30,000 low-level spiritual stones." Fang Lanlan explained.
It turned out that since the discovery of the Qingling Bird, Fang Lanlan had read many books, inquired about various information about the Qingling Bird and the Qingling Wood, and had done enough related homework.
The five people laughed happily and began to deal with the huge Qingling tree on the ground. First, they divided the thick trunk into large pieces of wood, then cut the branches into pieces, and finally cleaned the tree stumps full of soil and divided them into pieces. Four chunks.
Pieces of green spirit wood were put into their own storage bags, and they would be divided when they returned to Beiluan City and exchanged them for spirit stones. After an hour of busy work, only a layer of leaves and scattered fine particles were left on the ground. branch.
At this time, the sky was getting dark, so the five people simply set up a tent in the open space and stayed there for the night.
Sun Kang took Liu Yu for a walk in the woods and hunted back a plump wild boar. The fur was plucked, the internal organs were removed, cleaned, and then placed directly on the campfire.
After a while, a strong aroma of meat wafted up, and the whole wild boar turned brown, dripping with oil from time to time, and made a "sizzling" sound when it fell on the charcoal fire.
The four of them, Liu Yu, gathered around the campfire, watching Sun Kang skillfully turn the wild boar around, sprinkling some seasonings, salt, and brushing some sesame oil from time to time, all waiting to eat, especially He Anqing, who was looking straight forward. Staring is not reserved at all.
"Senior Brother Sun, where should we go next?" Fang Lanlan asked casually.
"Yes! Where will Senior Brother Sun go next?" He Anqing also asked.
The five people found the Qingling Tree only half a month after entering the mountain. They still have more than a month to search the mountain carefully.
"We will stay here for the next few days and search this forest carefully. We should gain a lot." Sun Kang said confidently.
Just now, Sun Kang and Liu Yu went around and found that the forest was extremely dense, with ancient trees standing there, and almost no human traces. The Green Spirit Tree that the five people found had grown here for more than three hundred years without being discovered, which also confirmed this from the side. Sun Kang guessed that there should be many old elixirs in this forest.
"Senior brother, what do you mean?" Fang Lanlan said happily after being reminded by Sun Kang and quickly understood the truth.
"Yes, we will find out after searching tomorrow." Sun Kang nodded before Fang Lanlan finished speaking.
"Sister Lan, what did you say?" He Anqing asked confusedly seeing Fang Lanlan's excitement.
"We didn't find it in this forest..." Fang Lanlan explained in detail.
"Great! It would be great if I could find a few thousand-year-old elixir tomorrow!" He Anqing couldn't help but longing after listening to Fang Lanlan's words.
"You really dare to think! Why didn't you say you found the Ten Thousand Years Ginseng!" Liang Zheng knocked on He Anqing's head and teased.
"You have to take care of it! Anyway, I will definitely find more elixirs than you tomorrow!" He Anqinge opened Liang Zheng's hand and said.
"Stop making trouble. The wild boar is roasted. Cut it up if you want to eat it." Sun Kang cut off a piece of fat meat and handed it to Fang Lanlan and said.
"Senior Brother Sun, cut a good piece for me quickly." He Anqing handed the plate to Sun Kang and said coquettishly.
The five people began to share the roasted whole pig. Liu Yu cut a piece of front leg meat. The wild boar meat was burnt and buttery in color. When you take a bite, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. It was full of fat and fragrant. Because special condiments were sprinkled in advance, the meat was not too good. Tender, not greasy or tangy, and extremely delicious.
Sun Kang got the recipe for these condiments from a famous chef at Baixiang House. Liu Yu asked about it a few days ago and got the recipe from Sun Kang. After eating the delicious barbecue, Liu Yu decided to go back After arriving in Beiluan City, I took the time to make some myself.
