Chapter 124 Entering the Spiritual Herb Garden
Under Tang Xiaoer's guidance, Gu Liyue saw patches of medicinal fields in the valley between the two mountains. They looked a bit like the tea gardens in her previous life, like large steps leading up the mountain.
Gu Liyue said, "Let's fly higher and see the scenery. Are you afraid?"
Tang Xiao'er shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid. Let's fly!"
Gu Liyue flew around the medicinal field at high altitude. She carefully observed the terrain, looking for any relatively hidden places.
The valley is long and oval in shape, with a narrow entrance and a wide valley inside. There are some unclear areas at the bottom of the valley.
They also saw some wooden houses built in the valley. Tang Xiaoer said, "Those are where the people who manage the medicinal fields live."
"This medicinal field looks quite large. Can such a large field supply the entire Xiyun City with spiritual herbs?"
Tang Xiaoer said, "This spiritual herb garden is the largest in Xiyun City. I've never heard of any other spiritual herb gardens. The spiritual herb shop only has the goods supplied by this person's spiritual herb garden, and a small portion is spiritual herbs brought back by some cultivators during their training."
After seeing the general terrain clearly, they descended and stopped at the entrance of the valley.
There was someone guarding the Lingcao Garden. When he saw the two women standing there, he went up to ask them.
Hearing that they were looking for Lan Xiao, the guard said, "Captain Lan just returned from delivering goods and is in the valley right now. You guys go in!"
When Tang Xiao'er heard this, the smile on her face disappeared. In the past six months, she had wondered more than once whether something had happened to Lan Xiao, the reason why there was no news from him.
Although she was happy to know he was okay, it also meant that he might not have come home on his own initiative. How could she be happy? Was he stuck or did he no longer want this family?
Thinking back to how Lan Xiao had always cared for her, how he'd always asked about her well-being and put her first in everything, she felt a sharp pain in her heart now that she knew he'd deliberately stayed away from home and ignored the family. Was it because she wasn't getting any younger, or maybe he'd found someone better...
She thought a lot, even thinking that her existence was a burden to the entire family and that she should die.
Gu Liyue felt that something was wrong with her expression. She mobilized her spiritual energy and shouted coldly, "Tang Xiaoer! Concentrate and calm down!"
Tang Xiaoer suddenly felt that her mind was impacted by the pure and upright energy, and the previous sinister and depressed mood dissipated completely.
Then Gu Liyue's clear voice was heard.
"Aren't you happy to see your husband? Don't think too much. Let's talk about it when we meet."
Tang Xiaoer came back to her senses and realized that something was wrong with her previous state. She looked at Gu Liyue with gratitude.
Gu Liyue felt that something was amiss with this place. Could it be that Tang Xiaoer had nearly gone completely mad just because of a single word from that guard? She became even more alert.
Could it be a formation, or something that affects the cultivator's spiritual consciousness?
Gu Liyue observed her surroundings carefully, but there were so many different kinds of spiritual herbs around that she couldn't tell if any of them would affect her spiritual consciousness. She only felt the aura of the surrounding spiritual herbs was chaotic. When she tried to distinguish them more carefully, she felt a little dizzy, so she quickly focused her mind and calmed down.
Wait, there are too many varieties. Aren't the medicinal fields planned out so that each variety is planted in one area? Why are so many varieties of spiritual herbs planted at the entrance of the valley?
The guard looked at them standing still and said, "I'll take you to Captain Lan."
The two of them had no choice but to follow.
When they arrived at the house where the stewards lived, the guard said, "This room belongs to Captain Lan."
He knocked on the door, but there was no response. Someone came out from the next room, and the monk said, "Captain Lan has gone to see the boss. What do you want with him?"
The guard said to the male cultivator, "This person is here to look for someone from the Blue Team. Please help settle him down. I can't be away from the valley for too long, or the manager will scold me if he sees me."
After speaking, he ran away.
Tang Xiao'er looked at the male cultivator and said, "Big brother, I am Lan Xiao's wife. What's your name?"
"My last name is Yue, and I'm also the delivery team leader." Captain Yue said coldly.
Gu Liyue looked around and saw that there were over twenty cabins like this nearby.
This place should be considered the middle section of the valley. It has a relatively large area, and the medicinal fields are divided into blocks. You can see that the same variety is planted in each block. This is what a medicinal field should look like.
Captain Yue didn't want to greet them. He said, "You can look around, but don't go any further inside. That's where the boss lives, and he doesn't like strangers around. Remember, don't blame me if anything goes wrong."
Gu Liyue nodded and said, "Thank you, big brother."
Captain Yue went into the house and closed the door.
Gu Liyue said to Tang Xiaoer, "Let's go check out the medicinal fields."
She summoned Xiaoxuan and communicated with it through the contract: "Xiaoxuan, go listen to what the boss is talking about with Captain Lan."
Xiaoxuan said in a boyish voice, "Okay."
"Don't let anyone find you. I have a feeling there might be monks here that I can't defeat."
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Gu Liyue looked at the medicine field and took a look at the number of guards around. There weren't too many. Occasionally, a patrolman would pass by. His cultivation was also at the Foundation Establishment stage, and he didn't look like an expert.
Tang Xiao'er was still thinking about the reason why Lan Xiao didn't go home. She stood there thinking about her own things, and her face did not have the despair expression she had just had.
Gu Liyue started chatting with a person who was taking care of spiritual herbs.
"Brother, is this spiritual herb difficult to grow? I think it's growing well, and it's all thanks to you."
The man patted the dirt off his hands and stood up, unable to help but complain: "Well, every day I come to weed and water, and then pick the crops when they are ready. It's not hard work, but it still takes a lot of time."
Seeing that he was talkative, Gu Liyue asked, "How many spirit stones can you earn working here for a month?"
"With less than a hundred low-grade spirit stones, I won't do anything else but collect spirit herbs."
"Then this spiritual herb garden must have a large output. I see many people like you here who take care of spiritual herbs."
"Yes, we deliver two carts of spiritual herbs to Xiyun City every day. Some are sent to further places, like Captain Lan you're looking for. He's sent to other places, and he's away for more than a month."
"More than a month, that's a long time! How far does it have to be delivered?" Gu Liyue asked curiously.
"I heard it's out of town, I don't know how far it's going to be delivered to."
"Does our Spiritual Herb Garden have spiritual herbs that are not available elsewhere? Otherwise, why would we have to deliver them all the way here?"
"I don't know either. Now that you mention it, I remember that the amount of spiritual herbs sent to other places isn't very large, and they're not from the medicinal fields I'm in charge of. They should be from the medicinal fields at the bottom of the valley!"
"What kind of spiritual herb is that? Brother, do you know?"
"I don't know. I haven't come into contact with it. They are all packed and taken away directly from the truck."
"Oh, I also want to buy some to see if I can make some special medicine!"
"Girl, if you want to buy goods, you have to find the manager. I heard that if you want to buy those that are delivered to other places, you have to talk to the boss directly."
