Ah?

What do you mean by meeting the conditions, yet not meeting them at all?

What kind of statement is that?

Chen Yang was surprised.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I was only focusing on telling you about the growth conditions of the Pan Long Vine, but I forgot to tell you that the Pan Long Vine actually needs to mature for several years. Ordinary Pan Long Vine roots can’t be used as precious herbs; only those that are over a thousand years old can be."

"This place surely has a lot of rocks and trees, but I just studied them, and this area’s rocks have only existed for a few hundred years, which completely fails to meet the conditions for the Pan Long Vine to mature."

Lisa said.

"..."

Chen Yang was speechless.

She hadn’t mentioned such a requirement before.

"Indeed, it’s only a few hundred years here. If it has to be over a thousand, then we might really be disappointed."

"Sigh."

Lisa sighed helplessly. At that moment, she was very disappointed, but she didn’t blame Chen Yang. After all, it was her own failure to explain clearly.

If she had mentioned it earlier, Chen Yang wouldn’t have brought her here.

"It’s okay, if we can’t find it, we’ll just leave it at that. Anyway, I’ll be here for a few days, so I can look around some more." Lisa sighed, abandoning this place.

Chen Yang was also quite disappointed. He originally thought they had found it, only to discover that the place was wrong as soon as they arrived. It was quite embarrassing.

"Alright, let’s go."

Since the place didn’t meet the requirements, Chen Yang had no other ideas and immediately followed Lisa, prepared to return the same way they came.

But just halfway down the road, Chen Yang suddenly remembered something, and his steps came to an abrupt halt!

"Hey! Lisa, since this place has so many rocks, doesn’t that mean there might be a natural stone extraction site nearby? Do you think such a place might have Pan Long Vines?" Chen Yang stopped and looked at Lisa.

Upon hearing this, Lisa suddenly felt it made sense!

The stones at the previous place were clearly man-made.

If there are so many processed stones in a place like this, it indicates there must be a quarry nearby.

"Yes, if there’s a naturally rocky area, it’s very likely that there could be Pan Long Vines!" Lisa’s hope was reignited.

"Then let’s not rush back. Let’s look around nearby since it’s still early."

"Okay."

Lisa immediately agreed and then followed Chen Yang into the nearby woods to search.

The surrounding forest was thick with bushes.

It was quite complex to navigate through.

Fortunately, the two of them were quite skilled, so it wasn’t too much of an issue.

After spending around two hours, they explored the entire surrounding area.

They found nothing.

There wasn’t a single place that matched Lisa’s description, nor did they find any stone quarries.

"It’s impossible. With so many stones, they must have been sourced nearby. Why can’t we find any?" Chen Yang was very puzzled.

Lisa felt the same way.

"Could it be that these stones aren’t from nearby at all but were brought from a faraway place?"

"I don’t think so. Who would be so foolish as to ignore nearby resources and go to other places for stones?" Chen Yang responded immediately.

"Then why can’t we see any stones nearby?"

Lisa was very confused.

Chen Yang was also perplexed. If there was a stone quarry nearby, even if it had been exhausted, there would definitely be traces left behind.

But in these two hours, let alone traces, they hadn’t even seen any large stones.

"I don’t know either. Let’s take another round. If we still can’t find anything, let’s just give up."

They had already checked the area within three or four kilometers around the Stone Valley.

If another round yields nothing, it might not be worth continuing the search.

But sometimes things happen just by coincidence.

Just when Chen Yang was about to give up, a turning point appeared.

After walking just a few minutes, they suddenly saw stones appearing one by one in front of the woods.

Without saying a word, they both quickened their steps and moved forward together.

The closer they got, the more stones they saw.

Finally, they came across a naturally formed stone forest.

"We finally found it!"

Chen Yang exclaimed excitedly!

"This stone forest is naturally formed, and the surrounding trees are lush. There’s a very good chance there might be Pan Long Vines!" Lisa was even more excited!

Upon reaching the stone forest, she immediately began searching seriously.

Chen Yang couldn’t just stand around either, so he decided to help Lisa search as well.

"Lisa, this stone forest is large and searching alone would be exhausting. Why don’t you tell me what the Pan Long Vine looks like, and we can split up and search?" Chen Yang suggested.

Hearing this, Lisa looked up at Chen Yang, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

"Sure, help me search. The Pan Long Vine’s characteristic is simple: it’s a matured green vine! It looks like a coiling dragon, ancient and fierce!" Lisa explained.

"Looks like a coiling dragon, ancient and fierce? Got it!"

After learning the characteristics, Chen Yang immediately went searching in other directions.

The stone forest covered a large area. Chen Yang searched for more than ten minutes and found nothing.

Just as he was about to walk through the entire stone forest, a huge irregular rock stood in his way.

This large stone was at least over ten meters tall! It stretched at least seven or eight meters long, and standing in front of it felt like confronting a massive object.

It was obvious that it had been placed there for many years, and without a closer look, one wouldn’t notice that this thing blocking the way was a large stone.

Chen Yang’s gaze swept across and immediately stopped at the middle of the large stone.

Because on the large stone, there was a vine as thick as an arm attached to it!

Ordinary vines look vibrant and lush green.

But this arm-thick vine, although still lively, felt significantly aged.

Especially its trunk, which perfectly matched Lisa’s description.

Looking like a coiling dragon, ancient and fierce!

The bursting old bark resembled the dragon scales of an ancient dragon, and its winding body looked just like a dragon’s torso!

"Could this be the Pan Long Vine?"

Chen Yang was fairly certain that this was indeed the Pan Long Vine.

"Lisa, come over here! I think I’ve found what you need!"

"Coming!"

Lisa was nearby, and upon hearing Chen Yang’s discovery, she quickly ran over.

"Where is the Pan Long Vine?"

Lisa impatiently asked Chen Yang.

"Isn’t that it?"

Chen Yang signaled with his eyes.

Lisa immediately looked towards the stone in front of them.

She instantly noticed the Pan Long Vine mixed with a variety of plants in the middle of the stone.

It was too unique with its ancient trunk and bursting bark, standing out among the lush, green plants!

"It’s really the Pan Long Vine!"

Lisa exclaimed joyfully!

She immediately walked over and touched the trunk of the Pan Long Vine!

After a series of checks, her face showed even more delight!

"Yes, this is the Pan Long Vine I’m looking for, and it’s been around long enough! It can be considered a top grade." Lisa said excitedly.

Chen Yang realized she was right, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I thought the Pan Long Vine you were looking for was some kind of magical thing, but it turns out to be just a matured old vine." Chen Yang approached and said.

"When the Pan Long Vine isn’t mature, it’s no different from an ordinary green vine. But once it matures, it becomes a very precious thing!" Lisa said as she traced her hand along the Pan Long Vine’s trunk, starting to look for its root.
