Chapter 678 Wine Tempts Blood Ginseng
Ye Kang's eyebrows twitched.
Goodness, the system has even issued a mission. It seems this thing is indeed difficult to catch.
Ye Kang squatted down and poked at the damp soil beneath the herbs.
The soil is fertile and full of spiritual energy, and the medicinal herbs growing on it emit a refreshing fragrance that is invigorating.
Ye Kang tested it, but the herb didn't react at all, so it was obviously not blood ginseng.
He didn't intend to waste any time. A blue light appeared in his eyes, and he activated his divine power, the Azure Eyes of Innocent Delusion.
With a single glance, the blue eyes dispel illusions and dispel confusion.
However, blood ginseng is not a mist, but a spiritual substance; it is unknown whether it will be effective.
He stood up and scanned his surroundings, his divine sense sweeping across the area covered by his blue pupils, not missing a single movement.
A moment later, a weed on the left side of the field ridge suddenly trembled, as if it had sensed Ye Kang's gaze and was very curious.
Ye Kang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly jumped over, inserting one hand to grab it directly.
Phew!
A flash of inspiration, and a ginseng suddenly sprang out, then fell back into the soil and disappeared.
"So fast!"
Ye Kang was slightly surprised. He hadn't expected that he had underestimated the blood ginseng, which could actually surpass his speed.
Wu Wang Qing Tong looked again, but this time there was no movement at all.
The entire medicinal garden was completely quiet, without a sound.
Sure enough, after realizing that Ye Kang possessed supernatural powers, the blood ginseng dared not act recklessly anymore and did not move at all.
It was not an illusion, and being a spiritual herb, it was indistinguishable from the aura of the herb garden, so even the Boundless Azure Eyes could not detect it.
Ye Kang shook his head slightly, finding it amusing, and said, "You do have some spiritual energy. If you can escape, I'll acknowledge your skill."
There was no response, and Ye Kang stood silently for a moment, unable to find a good solution.
After a while, there was still no movement around him, and he even considered turning the entire herb garden upside down.
Of course, just thinking about it.
The other herbs in the herb garden are no ordinary things either; the academy will definitely find them useful. If I act rashly, I will surely be punished.
Moreover, even if you turn the medicinal field upside down, you might not be able to catch that thing.
The best approach is to lure it out.
With a thought, he sparsed a sliver of his mind and entered the Black Jade Realm.
He never hesitates to ask for help when he encounters something he doesn't know how to do.
There is a group of experts in the field of black jade.
He appeared directly in Moyu City, at a tall building.
A huge plaque hangs in front of the building, with the words "Research Institute" written on it.
That's right, Qi Youshan's research institute has already recruited all its staff and has been officially established.
It's called scientific research, but in reality it's about studying winemaking, alchemy, and herbal cultivation.
Of course, the Tang family also studied formations and weapon crafting.
As soon as Ye Kang went inside, he was recognized.
"It's Senior Brother Ye!"
This is a junior disciple of the Tyrant Whale Sect. Because he has some talent in alchemy, he works there as an apprentice.
His shout immediately drew everyone out.
Ye Long, Ye Ping, Qi Youshan, Aunt Yun, and others all came over.
"Xiao Ye, what brings you here?" Yun Yin asked gently.
Ye Kang recounted the story of capturing the blood ginseng, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Qi Youshan frowned and said, "If it's ordinary precious plants, we have quite a few ways to harvest them, but these rare precious plants are special products that we've never heard of before, so we really have no experience with them..."
Seeing that everyone was at a loss, Ye Kang was not disappointed, as he had only intended to ask and see.
Just then, a light and melodious voice rang out.
"I have an idea."
Everyone looked up and saw Xia Ningyan.
As a student of the Yin Saint Demon Lord's divine soul, and having been cultivating flowers, plants, and spiritual plants in the small world, his cultivation in plants, if not the best, would rank among the top two in the Ink Jade Realm.
Most importantly, by controlling the Demon Lord's Palace, she can gain more knowledge than others.
She approached gracefully and said with a smile, "Although I have never seen the Qilin Blood Ginseng, most of the ginseng treasures in the Ink Jade Realm have one thing in common."
"I enjoy drinking."
After she finished speaking, everyone stared at each other in disbelief.
"Miss Ningyan, you're not joking, are you?"
"That's right, Xia, how come Baozhi drinks alcohol?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Xia Ningyan continued, "Ordinary ginseng doesn't drink it, but once ginseng-like spiritual plants develop sentience, they come to life. Wine is the essence of concentrated grains, so it can naturally attract them."
Everyone nodded, still somewhat incredulous.
Ye Kang laughed and said, "Then let's give it a try. Brother, how's your 'Storm Brew'?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Ping said apologetically, "There hasn't been much progress yet. The main problem is that the pear blossom mushroom is highly poisonous, and there's no good way to get rid of it."
"No problem, let's get some non-toxic semi-finished products first, so we can try them out."
"Row."
Ye Ping nodded immediately and then handed a wine jar to Ye Kang.
As the person in charge of brewing, he took this job very seriously, and always carried the wine with him.
Ye Kang smiled, immediately regained his composure, and the wine jar landed in his hand.
"Let's see if what Ningyan said is true."
After speaking, he flicked open the wine seal with his finger, and an incredibly rich aroma immediately wafted out.
Ye Kang wanted to activate his inner energy to spread the aroma of the wine.
Before long, the entire medicinal herb garden was filled with the aroma of wine.
With a glint in his clear blue eyes, Ye Kang carefully observed every ridge and root of the herbs around him.
"Zizi..."
Suddenly, a barely perceptible sound of earth breaking apart rang out.
Ye Kang instantly locked onto the location, but he wasn't in a hurry.
Making a hasty move will only scare the blood ginseng away.
He smiled, sat down on the spot, and took out two large bowls, pouring one for himself first.
When you lift the bowl to your mouth and the wine swirls around, the aroma reaches its peak.
After all, this is an improved version of Fengbo Brew, a rare spiritual wine. The spiritual energy mixed with the aroma is so enchanting that anyone who smells it will be confused.
Finally, the creature that had been secretly watching couldn't resist the temptation and suddenly broke out of the ground.
It was a fine ginseng root, white and clean, yet as lively as a person!
It is about the size of a three-year-old human child, with abundant roots and clear patterns.
This is a Qilin Blood Ginseng that has become a spirit; it is incredibly fast and is particularly adept at earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magical escape technique).
It's impossible to outrun it in the medicinal herb garden.
But at this moment, the blood ginseng swayed and headed straight for the wine glass.
Seeing that Ye Kang neither disturbed nor stopped him, Xue Shen grew bolder and hopped over step by step.
As it got closer, it kept looking up, trying to read Ye Kang's expression.
Ye Kang ignored him, pretending not to see it.
The blood ginseng then lowered its roots, just as a human bows his head, and soaked the roots in the wine bowl.
Glug glug, the liquid visibly decreased.
Suddenly! The blood ginseng raised its head sharply, swayed twice, and then fell straight down.
To Ye Kang's astonishment, the blood ginseng transformed into an ordinary Qilin blood ginseng.
He blinked, looking completely bewildered.
"What? He's drunk? Is his alcohol tolerance that low?"
