Chapter 889: Chapter 894: The Final Test 9
Following the trail of the Three Lifetime Falling Flowers, they finally discovered the trace of the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng amidst a vast sea of flowers.
The delicate nailsized white blossoms, hidden among the pile of half-palm-sized sea of Falling Flowers, were truly inconspicuous. Su Tang had quite a hard time finding them.
Just as Gaiyin was about to pluck them, Su Tang stopped him.
"To improve one’s physique, it’s not only reliant on the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng, but also necessitates soaking in warm Biquan spring water. Fly up and see if there’s any lake-like place nearby. After finding the warm Biquan spring, we can come back to pick it. It’s not too late."
The primary reason, in reality, was because Su Tang wasn’t sure how long the medical properties of the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng would last. If they dug it up now but couldn’t find the warm Biquan spring in time, resulting in the loss of its medicinal properties, it would be a great loss indeed.
Gaiyin thought about it and found it reasonable. So he transformed into a white tiger, carrying Su Tang in search of the warm Biquan spring. Just in case, he asked Xi to stay behind to watch over the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng.
When they flew high, the local terrains unfolded before their eyes.
From above, Su Tang realized this place was not just the garden she thought it was. Although the fields were irregular, their distribution was extremely orderly.
Rather than a garden, it was more like a nursery that had been meticulously maintained by someone in the past.
Here, the only two types of flowers she recognized were the Three Lifetime Falling Flowers and that of the Scarlet Blood Mysterious Ginseng.
Adding to that the other vigorously growing various flowers and plants, Su Tang faintly speculated that this might be the herb garden specially tended by the Wood Immortal Mansion.
Continuing to fly eastward, they soon spotted a small lake in the distance, its surface reflecting a peculiar gleam—very eye-catching.
"Ayin, let’s go check over there," Su Tang suggested.
In just tens of seconds, they landed steadily on the grassland by the lake.
The water in the lake was not the usual lakeblue or lakegreen, but rather a sparkling silvery white that was strikingly beautiful.
Su Tang approached the water’s edge and touched the lake water, which wasn’t very cold and offered a refreshing feeling.
"Huh? What’s this?"
It seemed something was submerged in the water.
Su Tang reached in and grabbed a handful of glistening, silver-white objects.
She nodded thoughtfully, "The water reflects a bright silver color because of this. No wonder. But what is this exactly?"
Gaiyin squatted beside Su Tang, picked one up, and examined it.
The object wasn’t very big, somewhat round, without sharp edges, slightly thick, and that material... it looked rather like, scales!
While they were observing, suddenly—
A silver-white figure leapt from the water’s surface, then plopped back in with a splash.
When Su Tang turned at the sound, only ripples remained on the surface of the water.
Gaiyin, however, had seen it—it seemed to be a fish?
He looked down at Su Tang, "The creature said to improve the fertility rates of the Mermaid Clan, isn’t it called the Sea Dragon Fish? What does it look like?"
Excitement lit up in Su Tang’s eyes, "Was that the Sea Dragon Fish just now?"
Gaiyin shook his head, "I’m not sure, I only saw that it was entirely silver-white, with two long barbels beside its mouth, a row of spines along its back, and yes, its eyes seemed to be golden."
Listenting to Gaiyin’s description, Su Tang quickly accessed her survival Q&A to search for the features and images of the Sea Dragon Fish.
All the details matched!
Just then, the Sea Dragon Fish leapt out of the water again, somersaulting in the air before diving back into the water.
