Chapter 127: 【096】Strange Stone Temple in the Mountains, Cave of the Five Poisonous Creatures
On the steep cliff of five to six hundred meters, a nimble figure was swiftly jumping and climbing on the near-vertical rock surface, below where clouds swirled and birds circled, creating an illusion of being in a fairyland.
"Finding this thing is really tough. If it weren’t for my Lightweight Skill, even if someone discovered it, they wouldn’t be able to pick it."
Wang Longhu pulled himself up with one hand on a rocky edge jutting out only about three to four centimeters from the cliff, instantly springing up more than three meters high like being loaded with a spring. As he looked at the medicinal herb just a few meters above his head, he couldn’t help but marvel.
Once he got closer, Wang Longhu took a careful look at the herb that had made him climb into such a dangerous place to collect.
Its leaves were long and oval-shaped, very tender to the touch. The veins on the front were clear, while the back had a bit of silver-white color. In the middle of the four leaves, a pale purple flower was blooming.
Next to it was another plant, but it hadn’t grown to the flowering stage yet, just bearing orange-red round fruits.
This was precisely a rare wild medicinal herb with high medicinal value, capable of treating diseases like encephalitis B, appendicitis, tonsillitis, mumps, mastitis, venomous snake and insect bites, ulcers, and inflammations.
Renowned doctor Li Shizhen once described Seven-leaf Flower as ’Seven-leaf Flower, the deep mountains are my home, boils and ulcers, upon encounter, handled easily’.
Several years ago, the price of Seven-leaf Flower was five to six hundred per pound, but this year, due to the scarcity in the wild, it has skyrocketed to 1500 per pound, a substantial profit.
As Wang Longhu was about to dig it out by the roots, his ears suddenly twitched, picking up faint strange noises nearby. He glanced in the direction of the sound.
