CHAPTER 364: CHAPTER 345: LET ME DO IT

Yun Ran was taken aback, "A thousand-year-old fire ginseng?"

That really is a great thing!

It can be used in medicine to save lives, bringing the dead back to life, or it can become a deadly poison, taking lives in a heartbeat.

Shen Weixi patted her chest with pride, "I’m amazing, right? Stick with me and you’ll get fire ginseng!"

Yun Ran almost laughed, "Amazing, amazing! So, may I ask, elder sister, where is the fire ginseng?"

Shen Weixi immediately glanced around, "I just heard them say there’s a thousand-year-old fire ginseng and snow lotus nearby, but we’ll have to look for it."

"This place isn’t that big, it should be easy to find. Yue’er, let’s go check over there."

Saying this, she pulled Yun Ran towards a cliff.

Yun Ran was still pondering who exactly did she mean by ’them’?

Judging by her previous hurried demeanor, did she perhaps eavesdrop on someone talking about this treasure, and in her haste to get ahead, drag Yun Ran here at top speed?

Despite the surrounding cliffs, the area wasn’t that large; the two quickly found the fire ginseng and snow lotus, and also discovered several Purple Mist Grass and Moon Ghost Vine, all of excellent quality herbs.

Shen Weixi was quite excited, "See, it’s really a good place, right? I wasn’t exaggerating, was I?"

Yun Ran laughed, humoring her, "Yes, yes! Everything you said is true! This place is simply a land filled with nature’s spiritual energy!"

"Of course!"

Shen Weixi glanced at the fire ginseng growing on the rocky cliff edge and rolled up her sleeves, "Yue’er, you wait here, I’ll pick it for you."

Many rare medicinal herbs seem to prefer growing on cliffs, beneath the towering clouds, with a view over the abyss, standing proud and lofty.

Anyone wishing to pick them, should they make the slightest misstep, would fall into the abyss, their bodies shattered.

Moreover, with today’s snowfall, the already perilous cliffs have become even more treacherous.

Yun Ran grabbed Shen Weixi, "Let me do it instead."

Although Shen Weixi was highly skilled in martial arts, her Qinggong was average; her martial arts focus was on defeating enemies on the battlefield, with every move crisp and decisive.

However, this gave her no advantage in gathering herbs from cliffs.

Having grown up in Tianyin Pavilion, Yun Ran was familiar with the Nine Mountains and Seventy-two Peaks, with numerous cliffs and abysses, making climbing as easy as walking for her.

Moreover, she had been professionally gathering herbs for years and was practically the sect’s little herbal-gathering expert.

Among her senior brothers and sisters, she might be at the bottom of the pile in terms of martial arts... but when it came to Qinggong, if she claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.

However, Shen Weixi did not know these things, and subconsciously viewed Yun Ran as a delicate girl in need of protection, so naturally, for such dangerous tasks, she felt she should take the lead.

In the end, neither of them could convince the other, leading Yun Ran to come up with a solution.

She pulled out a bag made from Heavenly Silkworm Silk that she carried with her. Heavenly Silkworm Silk was extremely lightweight and could be twisted into a solid rope; tying three together, she secured one end around Shen Weixi’s waist and held the other in her hand.

In this way, if Shen Weixi were to accidentally slip, Yun Ran could catch her.

Shen Weixi was curious, at this moment her mind filled with bags.

"Yue’er? You even carry this kind of thing with you?"

"It’s actually made from Heavenly Silkworm Silk! That’s a treasure! It’s priceless!"

Yun Ran couldn’t exactly say it was tailor-made for ease in looting, could she?

"Weixi, hurry up and pick the herbs! What if someone else comes and snatches them?"

Shen Weixi smacked her forehead, "Right, right! I almost forgot!"

If Yu Qingyan arrived, that would be trouble!
