Chapter 32. The Lost Forest

 Not long after he left the Nine Planet Sect, Li Yang rode from the place that was in charge of renting spirit horses to Jialan City.

 There was only one Chamber of Commerce in Jialan City, and it was a chess piece of the Nine Planet Sect's Divine Sword Peak. After the Chamber of Commerce people saw the letter, they invited Li Yang to a private room to wait very respectfully.

 Although it wasn't time to purchase yet, the people from the Chamber of Commerce didn't ask much. Instead, they quickly prepared all the ingredients and other goods Li Yang needed, then sent someone to deliver them back to the store.

"Congratulations to the host for purchasing a large number of ingredients. The ingredient attribute identification function has been upgraded."

 After sending off the people from the Chamber of Commerce, Li Yang suddenly heard a system notification.

 As the system notification rang out, Li Yang suddenly felt his vision blur for a while. When he regained his vision, the ingredients placed before him had changed quite a bit.

 [ Spirit rice: 1-star food. It is an ordinary spirit rice that can be purchased in the mortal world. After being made into a dish, it can increase a slight amount of vitality. ]

Fire-patterned egg: One-star ingredient, a specialty egg of fire-patterned chicken. It contains a trace of fire-patterned power. After being made into a dish, it can increase a slight amount of vitality.

 [...]

 No matter which ingredient he saw, Li Yang's eyes would be able to see the rarity and star rating of the ingredient.

 At the same time, Li Yang suddenly noticed some ordinary medicinal herbs among the goods that the people of the Chamber of Commerce might have missed.

 What Li Yang didn't expect was that these medicinal ingredients that could be seen everywhere could show their rarity and star-class-like food ingredients.

 And some of the medicinal herbs, if added to the right dish, could even provide a diet effect according to the different medicinal herbs used!

 Seeing this, Li Yang suddenly thought of something!

 When he performed the Qi circulation previously, Qi Qingyao and the others had clearly explained that Li Yang's body's foundation was too weak. After the system appeared, the increased vitality did not merge well.

 That was why his Qi and blood were blocked, and all the acupuncture points in his body were blocked, which affected the circulation of spirit Qi. After taking the medicinal pill, the medicinal power was too strong, and it could forcefully break open the blocked areas.

 However, Li Yang would also be injured or even explode to death the moment he was broken.

 However, if it were changed to diet therapy, the effect would be vastly different!

 The healing effect of each diet therapy was very little compared to medicinal pills. However, if it was silent, even in Li Yang's situation, it could quickly clear his Qi and blood without suffering any additional injuries!

 "Ginseng beef soup!"

 At the same time, he was thinking about the diet.

 Li Yang's mind immediately flashed with the recipe that he had just unlocked.

 The main effect of the ginseng beef soup was to increase vitality and nourish the body!

 As long as he could eat this dish, he would be able to display the effects of diet therapy very quickly!

 However, the ginseng beef soup is different from the last two ingredients. For the ginseng beef soup, the beef should increase Qi and blood, while the ginseng is mainly used for healing and nourishing.

 If I want to obtain a more substantial effect, to a large extent, it still depends on the age of the ginseng added!

 Thinking of this, Li Yang was in a dilemma.

 One must know that ginseng was not in a small number, but even if there were only a difference of one year, the effects contained in it would be as different as the difference between heaven and earth!

 If a 10-year-old one were to be added to the dish, with Li Yang's current physical body, Qi, and blood, it would probably only be able to keep Li Yang warm for a while.

 If it were a hundred-year-old ginseng, it could only help Li Yang break through a barrier at most. It might not even be successful. If he wanted to solve his problem as soon as possible through diet therapy, he could do so.

 It needs at least a thousand-year-old ginseng!

'Only with such a huge medicinal power and the bonus after it was made into a dish could I have the chance to solve the congestion problem in my body!'

 Li Yang furrowed his brows and looked at the ingredients in front of him silently.

 After some consideration, Li Yang returned to the Divine Sword and knocked on Song Qian's door.

 "Junior Brother Li? What's wrong? Is there a problem with the Chamber of Commerce?"

 He saw that Li Yang had returned.

 Song Qian asked in confusion.

 "The Chamber of Commerce's goods are excellent. This time, Junior Brother came to ask about some things. Thank you for your help, senior brother. Senior brother usually travels a lot down the mountain, so I think you should be very familiar with the outside world.

 May I ask if Senior brother knows of any places with a thousand-year-old ginseng?"

 Li Yang cupped his hands and said.

 "A thousand-year-old ginseng?

Although I don't know why Junior Brother asks about this, you might be disappointed. Near our Nine Planet Sect, our disciples' activities are too broad. It would have been dug out long ago if there was such a thing.

However, two thousand miles west of the sect, there is the Lost Forest. That Forest is usually deserted. When I passed it before, I heard someone picked a thousand-year-old ginseng there."

 Song Qian stroked his chin as he recalled.

 "Lost Forest. Thank you, Senior Brother."

 Li Yang noted the name and was about to leave when Song Qian stopped him.

"Junior Brother, why are you in such a hurry? I'm not done yet. The terrain in the lost Forest is complicated. Unless you're a disciple above the foundation stage who can control a spirit sword, you'll probably get lost if you walk in!

More importantly, although the Lost Forest is ownerless in name, it's less than a hundred miles away from Tiger Roar City. The members of the Tiger Roar Sect often go in and out of the Forest."

 After Song Qian finished his sentence, Li Yang immediately frowned.

 Speaking of the Tiger Roar, although it was not as powerful as the Nine Planet Sect, it was not too far between. The two sects were not too far apart.

 There was no lack of friction between the disciples of the two sects who went out.

 If Li Yang were to go to the Lost Forest to collect the thousand-year-old ginseng, there was a high possibility that he would run into the disciples of the Tiger Roar Sect.

 When that time came ...

 With Li Yang's current cultivation, the people from the Tiger Roar Sect would probably attack him directly. If his luck was a little bad, Li Yang might be unable to return to the Nine Planet Sect.

 "It's good that Junior Brother understands.

In the past, when we went to the Tiger Roar Sect, we would need at least one senior brother who was at least an inner sect disciple to lead the team. Only senior brothers with higher status would the Tiger Roar Sect not dare to offend. Even so, we will not stay too long.

 "Not to mention, there are quite a few bandits and wandering cultivators on this thousand miles journey.

 Junior Brother. your cultivation …"

 Song Qian didn't say it aloud, but Li Yang understood what he meant.

 "Many thanks for Senior Brother's information. Junior Brother will go back and consider it."

 Since he understood the situation, Li Yang didn't stay any longer. After bidding farewell to Song Qian, he left the Divine Sword Peak and returned to his store.
