The hunter's leisurely life begins with marrying a female educated youth.

"Since pheasants have appeared on Pine Mountain, it means that there are insects and medicinal herbs that pheasants eat in this mountain."

At this moment, Zhang Yun had already entered Songshu Mountain.

Zhang Yun remembered which direction the two pheasants came from when they were caught.

So Zhang Yun headed towards the direction from which the pheasants had come from on Pine Tree Mountain.

With Zhang Yun's current exceptional perception, he doesn't need to worry about safety while walking in this not-so-dense mountain forest.

With the machete in hand, Zhang Yun felt a sense of complete control, and he confidently traversed the mountains and forests.

Zhang Yun's current task is to find all kinds of medicinal herbs and transplant them all into the Spirit Spring Space.

After cutting away a patch of thatch blocking the way, Zhang Yun looked around and finally spotted a clump of dandelions.

The dandelion has a cylindrical, dark brown, and robust root. Its leaves droop, and it has one to several flower stalks with yellow ray florets, somewhat resembling chrysanthemums.

Moreover, dandelion is a plant that is both food and medicine. Its dried whole plant can be used as medicine, and it has the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, reducing swelling and dissipating nodules, and promoting diuresis and relieving strangury.

It is also widely applicable in poultry farming.

"Finally found."

Zhang Yun was overjoyed and immediately went to the dandelion. Using a machete as a digging tool, he dug the dandelion out and put it into the spiritual spring space.

There are at least a hundred dandelions in this area.

Naturally, Zhang Yun wouldn't let any dandelion go to waste; he dug them all up and stored them in his spiritual spring space.

Generally speaking, dandelions bloom for four to nine months and bear fruit for five to ten months.

If this were to follow the normal growth time, it certainly wouldn't be enough to meet Zhang Yun's need to expand the pheasant population.

However, with the Spirit Spring Space, if the time flow rate of a space is increased by 10 times, it means that within a month, a large area of ​​dandelions can mature and produce a large number of fruits, thus forming a large-scale dandelion colony.

After collecting all the dandelions, Zhang Yun continued searching for medicinal herbs in the area.

We arrived at a shady area where the wind carried a cool breeze, a characteristic of shady places.

Upon arriving here, Zhang Yun discovered a patch of lush green plants growing on the ground. After taking a closer look, a smile immediately spread across his face.

"There's such a big patch of mint growing here."

Zhang Yun shouted happily.

The mint stem is upright, about 30 centimeters tall, with oblong, spreading leaves and serrated edges. The corolla is pale purple, and the anthers are ovoid.

This shady area is perfect for mint growth, forming a long growth belt from top to bottom, with tens of thousands of plants.

"Let's continue being herb farmers."

Zhang Yun smiled and started working, using a machete as a hoe to dig out a mint plant and immediately put it into his spiritual spring space.

Even if Zhang Yun were incredibly quick, it would take him an entire afternoon to dig up all the tens of thousands of mint plants.

That's not worth it at all.

There are only two pheasants in the Spirit Spring Space right now, so there's no need to dig up all the mint. Digging up a thousand mint plants would be enough for the pheasants to eat to their hearts' content.

Besides, mint flowers for seven to nine months and fruits for about ten months.

With these thousand mint plants, if the time flow in the space where they are planted is increased tenfold, then within a month, these thousand mint plants can expand into tens of thousands of mint plants.

"Anyway, the mint in this area won't disappear, so let's dig up a thousand mint plants first."

Zhang Yun happily made the decision herself.

It took Zhang Yun an hour to dig up about 1,500 mint plants and transplant them all to the second acre of land.

The Spirit Spring Space currently only has a two-acre area. Zhang Yun will not use the initial one-acre land to cultivate these medicinal herbs on a large scale. All future livestock, wild animals, fruit trees, and medicinal herb cultivation will be carried out on the land that will be added later.

After letting go of the mint, Zhang Yun continued walking in the surrounding mountains and forests.

Surprisingly, a large amount of bitter herbs also grow in these mountains and forests.

While at the pig farm, Zhang Yun secretly collected some bitter herbs. Since bitter herbs also grow in this mountain forest, Zhang Yun picked them up along the way and sent them all into his spiritual spring space.

Surprisingly, some astragalus was also found alongside the bitter lettuce. These two medicinal and edible plants do share some similarities in appearance.

As Zhang Yun walked along, he came to a realization: why bother distinguishing these medicinal herbs in such detail?

Any plant that grows in the mountains is inherently resilient. Once transplanted to the Spirit Spring Space and cultivated on a large scale, the pheasants will be able to distinguish them and eat them whenever they want.

Therefore, Zhang Yun didn't want to spend time identifying medicinal herbs. Upon seeing a plant, he dug it up without hesitation and immediately stored it in his spiritual spring space.

I spent an afternoon walking in the pine forest.

Various medicinal herbs were harvested.

However, Zhang Yun had not yet discovered the two medicinal herbs, Codonopsis pilosula and Angelica sinensis.

At this moment, Zhang Yun stopped under a thick, large tree.

"Codonopsis pilosula and Angelica sinensis are two very valuable medicinal herbs, and most Chinese medicine prescriptions require these two herbs."

"However, these two medicinal herbs have certain requirements for their growing environment."

"Codonopsis pilosula is also a type of ginseng. Although it does not have the extremely harsh geographical conditions of Changbai Mountain ginseng, it cannot grow in ordinary mountainous areas either."

"Perhaps if we go to Jiming Mountain, where the humidity is high, the temperature doesn't fluctuate much throughout the year, and there's plenty of sunshine, we might be able to find Codonopsis pilosula or other types of ginseng."

Zhang Yun muttered calmly.

Although no Codonopsis pilosula was found, more than twenty types of medicinal herbs were collected that afternoon, enough to feed the pheasants.

It's almost 5 o'clock now, and the production team will be finishing work soon.

Zhang Yun also wanted to go back.

However, Zhang Yun came to Songshu Mountain this time under the pretext of searching for wild boars, and the brigade leader Zhang Youwei gave him special treatment to enter the mountain.

If I go back empty-handed, people will inevitably gossip about me.

So Zhang Yun found a natural pit nearby, took out his machete and modified it, turning it into a vertical pit with a diameter of more than one meter and a depth of one meter.

Branches were planted around the pit, leaving only an arched entrance, and then the branches were covered with leaves.

At this moment, Zhang Yun took out a bamboo tube, filled it with about half a liter of water, and then put the bamboo tube into the pit.

"Since so many medicinal herbs have been found in this area, it can be confirmed that there is a pheasant's nest here."

"With such a strong scent of spiritual spring emanating from it, I refuse to believe that it can't attract those wild chickens."

Zhang Yun spoke confidently, then walked up to the top, climbed a large tree, and used the dense foliage to hide his body.

To complete his task, Zhang Yun had no choice but to work harder, lure out the wild beasts again, and catch them all.

The scent of the spiritual spring water in the bamboo tube quickly spread and drifted to the surrounding mountains.

Before long, the sounds of wild beasts galloping through the mountains and forests could be heard.
