Thinking of this, Gu Yuan stepped forward a little excitedly, and arrived in front of a green light dot.

He parted the dead grass, revealing a three-inch long emerald green herb beneath it, with thick leaves and serrated edges.

Gu Yuan recognized this plant; it was an herb called Green Leaf Root.

This herb is quite valuable, possessing healing and detoxifying effects, and Jade Cauldron Tower buys it extensively.

This particular Green Leaf Root is over ten years old, and selling it for one or two pieces of silver would definitely not be a problem!

Under normal circumstances, the Green Leaf Root hides beneath dead grass without any significant features, making it difficult to find.

But now, Gu Yuan easily found it using his Little Treasure Hunting Technique.

Gu Yuan carefully dug it out and stored it safely.

Then, he went to other locations marked by light dots and successively dug out more than a dozen medicinal herbs.

Among them were Green Leaf Roots and several other types of herbs.

Although they don't add up to a fortune, they bring the joy of harvest, with occasional surprises!

This is certainly the fun of herb gathering on the mountain!

Of course, when others enter the mountain to collect herbs, they actually gather herbs!

They need to determine directions and search all over the mountain and fields, requiring patience and quite a bit of stamina. Perhaps even some luck.

But Gu Yuan was cheating.

With a sweep of his gaze, the Little Treasure Hunting Technique activated, allowing him to find any deeply hidden herbs.

Like a human scanner.

Moreover, the brighter the Spiritual Light, the older the herb.

Of course, though this Innate Divine Technique is impressive, it seems to have its limitations.

Once it goes beyond a certain distance, it loses its effectiveness.

Gu Yuan estimated that it could detect Spiritual Light at most within a hundred zhang; any farther, it wouldn't work.

It's worth mentioning that, besides herbs, Gu Yuan found other good items.

For instance, in a place emitting red Spiritual Light, Gu Yuan dug up a pigeon egg-sized stone from the soil.

After cleaning its surface, Gu Yuan realized it was an irregular stone.

Its surface was uneven and crimson, yet felt warm to the touch, clearly a piece of Warm Jade!

Warm Jade is a special type of jade that emits a gentle warmth even in the depths of winter, nourishing one's chi and blood and harmonizing Yin and Yang.

Some affluent families, upon obtaining such an item, often have craftsmen sculpt it into accessories for personal use.

This item is several times more expensive than gold of the same weight!

Finding such a valuable thing made Gu Yuan's smile even brighter.

However, as he was digging, Gu Yuan noticed Ah Huang was missing.

Chirp chirp chirp! Chirp chirp chirp!

Just as he was about to search for Ah Huang, its cries, through their connection, urgently reached Gu Yuan's mind.

At the same time, an image appeared in his mind.

The image showed the scene from Ah Huang's perspective; it was in front of a ginseng plant, its two paws swiftly digging away the soil!

Clearly, after evolving into a Little Treasure Hunting Mouse, Ah Huang could "share" what it saw with its owner, Gu Yuan!

Ah Huang's cries were urgent, and Gu Yuan could understand that it found a treasure and was telling him to hurry over and help.

Following his connection with Ah Huang, Gu Yuan accelerated through the mountain forest.

In less than the time it takes for a cup of tea, Gu Yuan reached Ah Huang's location.

Under an old tree, Ah Huang was circling a ginseng plant with deep green leaves, occasionally scratching at it, seemingly quite impatient.

Though Ah Huang shrank dozens of times after transforming into a Little Treasure Hunting Mouse, its speed increased significantly, turning it into a long white blur circling the ginseng.

Seeing Gu Yuan, it chirped, urging him to quickly dig up the ginseng.

Gu Yuan activated the Little Treasure Hunting Technique and understood why Ah Huang was so anxious.

The ginseng before him was emitting a gentle white light, its brilliance far exceeding all the herbs he had previously found combined!

If the Spiritual Light of those herbs was faint, like a thin layer, then this ginseng's light was like a light bulb, and its light was more pure!

The dense Spiritual Light indicated it was truly a treasure! For a Treasure Hunting Mouse fond of collecting treasures, it was akin to a treasure chest of gold ingots placed in front of a miser, naturally making it eager and impatient!

"The Spiritual Light is so dense; could it be a Spirit Medicine?"

Gu Yuan was quite pleased.

He considered that his current cultivation level was undoubtedly related to the Spirit Medicines like Yellow Spirit he discovered on that slope before!

Those few Spirit Medicines were certainly part of the resources that allowed him to cultivate to his current level!

Unfortunately, he had already consumed all those Spirit Medicines, and Spirit Pills were too expensive; he simply couldn't afford them.

Originally, he thought of finding some time to enter the Yunmeng Mountain Range to look for a few Spirit Medicines, but unexpectedly, with Ah Huang upgrading to a Little Treasure Hunting Mouse, it immediately found him a Spirit Medicine!

Ah Huang, truly his lucky star!

Next, Gu Yuan carefully took out his herb shovel to begin digging.

Ginseng, with its dense and extensive roots, is more effective the more complete it is!

So, Gu Yuan was particularly careful, preferring to go slower than to break a single ginseng root.

After a while, a chubby, arm-thick ginseng was completely dug out by him.

This ginseng was somewhat humanoid, with a jade white surface tinged with a light ivory yellow, exuding a faint herbal fragrance that invigorated the spirit with a single sniff.

Gu Yuan also noticed faint intricate patterns winding around its surface.

Upon careful counting, there were over thirty lines.

Each line indicating ten years, over thirty…

Clearly, this was a yellow wax old ginseng over three hundred years old!

This was indeed a Spirit Medicine!

According to Gu Yuan's estimation, though it wasn't an Eighth Grade Spirit Medicine, it wasn't far off, ranking among the top of Ninth Grade Spirit Medicines.

Gu Yuan took a piece of moss and carefully wrapped it up, storing it properly.

It must be said, the Yunmeng Mountain Range is a Blessed Land, with so many treasures found only in its periphery.

It's said there are many demons, spirits, and even ancient wild species in the depths of the mountain range, with some Spirit Mountains and great rivers occupied by Cultivation Sects, inhabited by hidden experts.

So, might the mountain's depths nurture the legendary Longevity Immortal Grass or Immortal Divine Medicine?

Chirp chirp chirp!

Just as Gu Yuan was lost in thought, he heard Ah Huang cry out in distress, its entire body stiffening and collapsing to the ground, eyes tightly shut, limbs twitching.

The sound was shrill and piercing!

"What's happening?!"

Gu Yuan was initially startled. But connected with Ah Huang's spirit, he quickly sensed that though it was in pain, it was not the least bit panicked, instead exuding intense joy, shock, and excitement!

Based on Ah Huang's chirps, Gu Yuan instinctively looked toward the depths of the Yunmeng Mountain Range.

He was then met with an astonishing sight!
