Ever since she arrived in the city, she had never been this exhausted in all these years.
As they heard an old lady calling out from the room, Lin Yifan and the others quickly pushed the door open, and anxiously asked, "Old lady, how is she? Is An Qi out of mortal danger?"
"She is out of immediate danger, but to fully revive her, you need to find something," the landlady replied.
"What is it?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.
"Blood Ginseng," the landlady answered.
"Blood Ginseng? Alright! I'll go find it for you right now," Lin Yifan said, about to turn and leave.
However, he was quickly stopped by the landlady: "Do you know where to find Blood Ginseng?"
The landlady was shocked; she thought that not many people knew of this information, yet Lin Yifan, of such a humble realm, was aware of it, which was beyond belief for her.
"Of course, don't they have lots of it at the herbal shop?" Lin Yifan asked back, puzzled as to why the landlady was so surprised.
The landlady was left speechless.
The "Blood Ginseng" sold in herbal shops is actually the root of a Fabaceae plant, known as Sophora flavescens, and it's not real ginseng at all. It merely looks somewhat similar; the Blood Ginseng she was referring to is true ginseng, a millennium rarity with tremendous medicinal value, something money can't buy.
But it was normal for Lin Yifan to be unaware, as he didn't have much exposure to it; so she patiently explained, "The Blood Ginseng I'm talking about isn't the kind you find in herbal shops. I'm referring to the one that takes a thousand years to form and is blood red in color on the surface. You could also call it Millennium Blood Ginseng."
"Millennium Blood Ginseng? Blood red in color?" Lin Yifan was stunned. He had only seen ginseng that was golden, light yellow, or brownish-red in color, but never blood red.
So he asked, "Where can this kind of ginseng be bought?"
"Millennium Blood Ginseng is something you chance upon, not something you can buy with money," the landlady replied.
"Then what should we do?" Lin Yifan inquired.
What good was a medicine if it couldn't be bought?
"I've recently received news that there have been sightings of Millennium Blood Ginseng in the Jiminia Primitive Forest of Feizhou," the landlady answered.
This piece of information was something she had learned from a scout she had planted in the outside world.
Although she never left her home, she was very clear about major events in the outside world, especially those concerning the Cultivation World.
"Millennium Blood Ginseng sightings? Old lady, I've only heard of bears and other animals being spotted; I've never heard of plants doing the same. Are you sure you're not using the wrong words?" Lin Yifan asked curiously.
"I did not choose my words incorrectly. Millennium Blood Ginseng will develop a spiritual consciousness once it reaches a certain stage and will be able to move on its own," the landlady answered.
"Move on its own?" Lin Yifan and Zhou Jiajia were both dumbfounded.
Ginseng that could move? It was unheard of and unseen.
"Old lady, is everything you said true? There's not the slightest intention of deceiving us?" Lin Yifan asked again, still finding it hard to believe.
"What benefit would I get from deceiving you? No one wants to save her more than I do right now," the landlady replied with agitation.
The Extreme Yin Jade Body, a phenomenon that might occur once in ten million years, maybe even just once from ancient times to the future. So now that she had encountered it, how could she readily watch her disappear, watch her die?
"Um..." Lin Yifan and Zhou Jiajia broke out in a sweat; not knowing when, the old landlady who was an outsider had become even more concerned about An Qi's safety than they were.
"Old landlady, the Jiminy Primitive Forest is one-seventh the size of Shenzhou Country, can you tell me the approximate range where a thousand-year Blood Ginseng might appear?" Lin Yifan asked.
He had been to Feizhou and also heard of the Jiminy Primitive Forest; so he had a rough idea of what it was.
The Jiminy Primitive Forest was vast, spanning over two million square kilometers; hence, looking for a thousand-year Blood Ginseng which was only about the size of one or two fingers in such a vast area was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Furthermore, the dense vegetation and thick jungles of the Jiminy Primitive Forest added great difficulty to the search; he desperately needed to narrow down the area to increase his chances of finding it.
"I cannot tell you that," the old landlady landlord replied.
Hearing this news, Lin Yifan silently sighed; he might never find a thousand-year Blood Ginseng in his lifetime. However, the old landlady's divine pivot gave him a glimmer of hope.
"But! I do know what the thousand-year Blood Ginseng likes; it prefers to roam in valleys with dense Spiritual Energy and between mountains; those places are also where it grows, it shouldn't be far from these places," the old landlady replied.
"Places with dense Spiritual Energy?" Lin Yifan was secretly delighted; he finally had a direction to search in, no longer needing to search blindly.
"There's no time to lose, I'll buy a plane ticket to Barujia right now!" Having said that, Lin Yifan was ready to leave again.
However, he was stopped by the old landlady again, "Are you in such a hurry to go and get yourself killed?"
"Uh..." Lin Yifan was speechless, wasn't it you who told me to look for the thousand-year Blood Ginseng? Now that I'm going to look for it, you won't let me, what exactly do you want?
"The matter of the thousand-year Blood Ginseng's appearance has already alarmed all parties, going alone, you will definitely be in danger," the old landlady explained.
"So should I go or not?" Lin Yifan asked impatiently.
"Of course you should go! It's just that I need to send a few people to go with you, to ensure your safety," the old landlady answered.
"Then please arrange it quickly," Lin Yifan urged.
He was burning with anxiety and very eager to obtain the thousand-year Blood Ginseng to save An Qi.
"Young man, haste won't get you anywhere fast, just relax, I will arrange everything," the old landlady responded.
Lin Yifan had such determination, which she still found reassuring; because it at least proved that Lin Yifan loved this woman with the Extreme Yin Jade Body very much.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, old landlady," Lin Yifan said respectfully.
Although he was very anxious, the old landlady was only trying to help; so he couldn't just rudely refuse her kindness.
After the explanation, the old landlady took out her mobile phone and started to call her own people.
Even though she was a Cultivator, she would still stoop to use modern communication tools, seeing as they were so advanced.
It was at this time that Lin Yifan's phone rang.
The call was from Zhao Dabing, the Team Leader of the Guiyuan City criminal police squad; Lin Yifan thought Zhao Dabing might be asking him to return to the police station to make a statement; after all, killing someone required an explanation.
But when he slid to answer, what he heard was not about making a statement, but about the Antian Group being framed and set up.
