Chapter 373 Wild Ginseng Found

Because the Wohushan Mountains are an undeveloped area, the map here is incomplete and some parts don't match up.

Chen Guan didn't encounter many Mystic Spirits on his way here, because there are probably more people than Mystic Spirits. In the already developed areas, it's really not easy to kill a Mystic Spirit.

This made Chen Guan very fortunate that he was able to join the Heavenly Court Army; otherwise, he would have been just like the ordinary cultivators here, roaming around public secret realms, fighting for secret spirits.

It's so difficult to level up; who knows when that will be?

When they arrived near the Crouching Tiger Mountain Range, the number of people decreased significantly. After reaching the Crouching Tiger Mountain Range, they could hardly see any other cultivators.

Chen Guan secretly infiltrated the Crouching Tiger Mountain Range. The map was useless now, as many parts of it were wrong.

Chen Guan found his way to a large mountain and quietly climbed up to search for a while. To his surprise, he actually found an old ginseng.

“This is a seven-leaf ginseng... a rare find that’s seven hundred years old…” Chen Guan reached out and started digging.

Anyway, he didn't know any of the rules for digging ginseng, so he just dug the old ginseng out with his hands.

Seven-hundred-year-old wild ginseng is still somewhat useful. After all, when making medicine, no matter how good the old ginseng is, it's impossible to put an old ginseng in a pill.

After digging it out, Chen Guan washed it and put it directly into his mouth, crunching it as he ate it.

"As expected of wild ginseng, it has a slightly sweet aftertaste." Chen Guan is not afraid of being overly nourished and will not experience any heatiness no matter how much he takes tonics.

While eating and searching, Chen Guan found another old ginseng plant not far away.

"When luck comes, nothing can stop it." Chen Guan said happily, eating and digging at the same time. In a short period of time, he dug up more than a dozen ginseng roots that were hundreds of years old.

"As expected, it has to be in these undeveloped areas where you can find good stuff just by digging around." Chen Guan thought to himself with delight as he ate some wild ginseng. He figured if he kept digging like this, he wouldn't need to spend any money to buy it.

"You little thief... how dare you steal my ginseng... you'll pay with your life..." Chen Guan was digging with great enthusiasm when he suddenly heard an angry shout coming from the mountain.

Then a figure appeared, flying down the mountain like lightning, and soon arrived nearby.

Chen Guan saw that the man had white hair and a white beard; he was an old man with a venerable appearance and a ruddy complexion.

"Holy crap... Could this be the legendary Ginseng Grandpa who has become a spirit?... I'm rich now..." Chen Guan was overjoyed and was about to capture the Ginseng Grandpa when he saw the old man summon a striped tiger pet, which pounced on Chen Guan.

Chen Guan was taken aback, realizing that the old man was a human cultivator, not a giant ginseng that had transformed into human form.

"At such an advanced age, he's still adventuring in this blessed land and secret realm?" Chen Guan thought to himself.

There are many elderly cultivators in the blessed land, but most of them choose to lie down or simply do not have the talent to advance to the Cave Heaven level.

There aren't many cultivators like this who are so old and still taking risks, yet haven't advanced to the Cave Heaven realm.

"Grandpa, you've misunderstood. I thought this was an unclaimed place..." Chen Guan tried to explain, but the tiger had already pounced over.

"Awoo!" Chen Guan opened his mouth and let out a tiger's roar.

The tiger that was charging forward was stopped in its tracks by Chen Guan's roar. It felt a momentary dizziness and stood there, staring blankly at Chen Guan in front of it.

Chen Guan was overjoyed to see that his "Roaring Tiger on the Mountain" move had worked.

"Grandpa, it's a misunderstanding. I really didn't know this mountain belonged to someone. All the ginseng I picked is here; I'll return it to you," Chen Guan quickly explained to the old man again. The old man was startled by Chen Guan's roar and looked at him with some surprise, saying, "You trespassed on my mountain and picked my ginseng, and that's it?"

"Then what do you suggest? How about I pay you back? Name your price," Chen Guan said.

"What secret technique was that tiger roar you just gave?" the old man asked.

"A fierce tiger roars on the mountain ridge," Chen Guan replied.

“That’s right, where can I get it?” the old man asked again.

"I'm not really sure about that. I got it after I ranked on the Tiger List," Chen Guan answered truthfully.

"The Tiger List of Longhu Mountain?" The old man's expression softened a bit, and he looked Chen Guan up and down, saying, "Considering that your mistake was unintentional, I will not make things difficult for you. I have three fighting techniques here. If you can break them, we can discuss compensation."

"Okay." Chen Guan nodded in agreement when he heard that there was no need to fight.

He wasn't afraid of fighting, but he felt it was unnecessary.

Seeing that Chen Guan didn't seem to care at all, the old man sneered inwardly: "This kid doesn't think my Tiger Roar Fist is so easy to break, does he? How naive. But it's fine, let's see what his aptitude is like. If his aptitude is decent, and he has the Tiger Roar Secret Technique, I can take him as a disciple and teach him my Tiger Roar Fist. That would be a small contribution to glorifying my Tiger Sect."

"But this kid doesn't even recognize me, Tiger Three Thousand. He's really a bit dim-witted. Could he have some kind of intellectual problem?" The old man thought to himself, and then said to Chen Guan, "Kid, watch carefully. My first move is called Tiger Head and Tiger Brain. See if you can break it."

As he spoke, the old man leaped up, instantly transforming into a fierce tiger, his aura instantly changing.

Chen Guan was secretly surprised: "This old man has a strong aura, but the names of his moves are a bit strange. However, the moves themselves are extremely powerful and domineering."

After watching the old man's move, Chen initially thought it was very simple and not difficult to break.

However, upon closer examination, it was discovered that this seemingly simple move was not as straightforward as it appeared.

This move seems to have reached the point of simplifying complexity. It is clearly a very simple move, but after Chen Guan pondered various techniques, he found it difficult to counter it.

The strangest thing about this move is that it seems to attack the enemy with both hands, but the real killing move is the head.

If you try to defend yourself with your hands, he'll either run headfirst into you or even bite your neck.

If you defend against his head, his hands will take the opportunity to strike you. In a situation of equal skill, it is indeed difficult to break through, unless Chen Guan also uses his head to attack him.

"How about it? Can you break my Tiger Head Tiger Brain move?" Hu Sanqian asked.

"Grandpa's moves are indeed impressive. Please allow me to think about it some more." Chen Guan hadn't used martial arts techniques to fight anyone in a long time. He was a skill-based fighter and didn't need to compete with others in this area. He couldn't break through it for the time being.

"Take your time to think it over." Hu Sanqian was quite patient at this moment and didn't rush him.

"I've got it!" A flash of inspiration struck Chen Guan.

"You figured out how to break my move so quickly?" Hu Sanqian was slightly surprised; Chen Guan's speed in breaking the move was indeed quite fast.

“Grandpa, your Tiger Head and Tiger Brain move is indeed very powerful. The move is fierce and unique, making it difficult to defend against. If I were to use other moves to break it, it would definitely be quite difficult. However, I can use your own methods against you and use your Tiger Head and Tiger Brain to break your Tiger Head and Tiger Brain,” Chen Guan said.
