Chapter 362 Annual Ginseng
Su Siyi's eyebrows knitted slightly, a thoughtful glint in her beautiful eyes. After a moment's hesitation, she opened her red lips and said, "Let's first investigate the Liu family's situation! In the current situation, the Liu family's movements are unclear, and we can't fight an unprepared battle."
Nangong Jingming stood aside with an upright figure, nodded solemnly, and replied, "Well, then I will make arrangements and ask someone to find out everything about the Liu family."
Su Siyi raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a polite smile, and said softly, "Okay, thank you for your help!"
Nangong Jingming smiled brightly, waved his hand, and said comfortingly: "Don't be polite with me. There is no need to be so formal between you and me. I'll go out and arrange it!" After that, he turned around and strode out. His steady and powerful steps demonstrated his vigorous and decisive style of doing things. He disappeared in a flash and started to arrange the investigation of the Liu family.
"We really need to investigate the Liu family thoroughly," Nangong Jingming thought to himself as he hurried along. "Since the Liu family has taken the initiative, given their temperament, they will definitely make further moves. I just don't know how many warriors they are hiding and how strong they are. We must not underestimate them."
The next morning, the morning light filtered through the window lattice, casting a veil over everything. Su Siyi slowly awoke, stretched lazily, and her consciousness instantly cleared. She silently communicated with the system in her mind: "System, sign in."
"Ding, sign-in successful, ten ginseng plants from the ancient world that are a hundred years old." The system's mechanical yet crisp prompt sound rang in her mind, and then, ten ginseng plants appeared out of thin air in her system backpack.
Su Siyi's eyes lit up, and she delightedly took the ginseng in her hands and examined it. The roots were long and intact, the skin gleaming with a moist, fresh hue. "Hundred-year-old ginseng—really good stuff! A truly valuable asset," she mused. "I wonder if I can plant it. If it takes root and sprouts within the jade pendant, I'll have an endless supply of ginseng for the future." With this thought, she flashed into the mysterious jade pendant's space.
The jade pendant's space was filled with spiritual energy, resembling a fairyland on earth. Su Siyi found a fertile patch of land and carefully planted a century-old ginseng. Then she took out some spiritual spring water, which was crystal clear and faintly luminous.
She slowly poured a 500ml cup of spiritual spring water, her eyes fixed on the newly planted ginseng. Although there seemed to be no obvious changes on the surface of the ginseng, with her keen perception of vitality, she was sure that the ginseng had taken root and survived.
At this time, Bai Amber floated in from nowhere. As a spirit, he was surrounded by a faint halo. He looked at the ginseng with a look of surprise. His eyes widened and he asked, "Master, how did you get such good ginseng?"
Su Siyi raised her eyebrows slightly, full of doubt. She glanced at him and said, "Is this ginseng strange? You've lived for so long, and it's just a hundred-year-old ginseng. Why are you so surprised?"
Bai Bo scratched his head and admitted truthfully, "I'm very surprised! Master, you don't know, this is not an ordinary hundred-year-old ginseng."
"Is there any difference?" Su Siyi became more and more curious. After all, the system didn't give much introduction when it gave the reward.
Bai Bo was so excited that he danced with joy and shouted, "Master, this is a hundred-year-old spiritual ginseng! It must have grown in a place with extremely rich spiritual energy. Its medicinal properties are ten times stronger than those of ordinary ginseng. It is definitely a precious medicinal material that is hard to find in the world!" The main reason is that there are no spiritual springs in this world, so it is impossible for such a thing to appear. He can't say whether there will be one in the future. There are also not many species in the jade pendant space he has now.
Grassland, desert, forest, the forest only has big trees and few species.
When Su Siyi heard this, the corners of her mouth turned up and her smile became even wider: "Oh, that's great! Now that I have such a good thing, I can make good use of it in the future."
Bai Bo rubbed his hands together and looked at Su Siyi expectantly, his eyes flashing with a fiery light. "Master, this can be used to refine Qi-replenishing pills. The effect is much better than ordinary ones. The pills refined with it are perfect for replenishing the spiritual energy of cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage!"
Su Siyi shook her head slightly, a look of regret on her face: "Oh, it's just that I don't know how to make pills now. I have these good herbs, but I can't make full use of them."
Bai Bo straightened his back and patted his chest to assure, "Master, I can do it! I haven't refined pills for a long time, and my hands are itching to try. When I saw these herbs, I was looking forward to practicing."
Su Siyi looked at him with a somewhat inquiring gaze, and said with certainty: "Oh, you only need this ginseng to refine the pill?"
"Well, is it okay?" Bai Bo looked at Su Siyi with anticipation, his eyes full of desire.
"What exactly is the use of this Qi-replenishing pill?" Su Siyi asked in confusion.
Bai Bo cleared his throat and explained seriously, "Qi-replenishing pills are good stuff. If you're exhausted and your Qi and blood are deficient, taking one pill can quickly replenish your Qi and blood. If you're exhausted from fighting, taking one pill can instantly restore your energy and spirit. For cultivators in the Qi training stage, it's a precious pill that replenishes spiritual energy."
"Oh, so this ginseng is all you need?" Su Siyi confirmed again.
"Well, with this and the spiritual spring water, it's perfect for refining Qi-boosting pills."
After weighing the pros and cons, Su Siyi finally made up her mind. She reached out and took a hundred-year-old ginseng and handed it to Bai Bo, instructing him, "Okay, then you take one to refine first! If the effect is good, I'll give you another one. Don't think about using this one for other things. I'd like to cultivate it well and hope it can produce seeds so that you can have more harvests in the future." Su Siyi said, pointing to the ginseng she had just planted.
Bai Bo was overjoyed. He excitedly took the ginseng with both hands, held it in his palms, and examined it carefully, muttering, "What a good thing! I haven't seen such high-quality spiritual ginseng in a long time. I must refine a top-quality Qi-boosting pill from it to live up to my expectations."
Bai Bo didn't wait for Su Siyi to say anything else and disappeared with the things.
Su Siyi looked at the missing person and smiled helplessly. She still thought about planting two more ginseng trees first. It is always a good thing to cultivate more ginseng.
If Bai Bo could really refine the elixir, she would make good use of it. She couldn't waste such a talented person!
It’s a pity that he can’t leave the space. If he could go out, she would definitely treat him well.
"Knock, knock, knock." A crisp knock on the door suddenly sounded in the quiet morning. Su Wenyu's gentle and slightly anxious voice came through the crack in the door and into the house: "Sister, are you up?"
Inside the house, Su Siyi had just come out of the jade pendant space when she heard a knock on the door. She responded crisply, "Third brother, I'm up. Wait a moment." As she spoke, she walked over and opened the door.
She reached out and opened the door, only to see her third brother Su Wenyu standing tall at the door. The morning sun shone on him, outlining his jade-like features.
"Sister, I'm sorry to disturb your sleep. I have a question to ask you!" Su Wenyu lowered his head slightly, a hint of embarrassment on his face. He looked like a child who had done something wrong, his eyes full of apology and expectation, and his hands unconsciously rubbed the corners of his clothes, showing his embarrassment.
Su Siyi raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a smile as warm as the sun. She shook her head lightly and said softly, "It's okay, I woke up a long time ago. Third brother, don't be so formal. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly." She raised her eyes, her gaze full of concern and curiosity, and looked carefully at the third brother in front of her, who usually didn't like to talk to others and had an introverted and steady personality, and wondered why he came here.
Su Wenyu took a deep breath, as if mustering up the courage, and said bluntly: "Can I build a house in yours?" As soon as the words came out, his eyes flashed with a fiery light, full of longing and expectation. He stared at Su Siyi's eyes, afraid to miss any of her reactions.
"Build a house, can you?" Su Siyi was stunned at first, and many thoughts flashed through her mind. She had indeed thought about adding some houses in that space, but she really did not have the ability to build a house. She could only spread her hands helplessly and look apologetic.
Su Wenyu straightened his back, his face full of confidence and pride, and he spoke eloquently: "I can, sister. My job is an architect. Although I am not a construction worker sweating on the front line on weekdays, I am also good at designing drawings and controlling operational procedures. It's just that compared with professional construction teams, I may be a little slower in actual operation, but when it comes to the essentials of building a house, I have a clear idea of it." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gestured a few times, as if the appearance of the house that was about to rise from the ground had already appeared in front of him.
Su Siyi's eyes lit up, her smile grew more intense, and she readily agreed, "Okay, then Third Brother, you can build the house well. There's plenty of space in the space, you can build it wherever you want, it's up to you." She stepped aside to make way for the door and raised her hand in a gesture of invitation. In her mind, she had already imagined that after Third Brother built the house, the space would be filled with a different kind of homely and warm feeling. After all, although the space was vast now, there were not many actual rooms. Third Brother's move was exactly what she wanted.
"Um, Siyi, I also want to ask you, do you have any books about refining weapons?" Su Wenyu scratched his head, his expression showing a bit of shyness and anticipation, and his eyes flashing with curiosity.
It turned out that he often read fantasy novels in his spare time. The magical weapon-making techniques in the books fascinated him. He thought that if he could master this skill, when building a house in the future, he might be able to use some magical weapons to make the construction smoother and more efficient, as if with divine help, and also have good defensive functions.
