Fabricating myths, starting with the creation of eight fictional ancient tribes

"Every pore was opened, greedily absorbing the nutrients here."

The viewers who couldn't attend were filled with envy, drooling with jealousy even through their screens.

"That's just fate!"

"I hate that I'm not in the Qinling Mountains!"

"Is it still possible to buy tickets now?"

However, the good times did not last long.

This comfort quickly turned into a burden.

The aroma of the medicine was too strong; for an ordinary person's body, it was no different from a potent drug.

In addition, the valley is densely vegetated and has a low oxygen content.

Gao Yanqiang gradually felt a strong wave of dizziness.

"I can't take it anymore... my head is so dizzy..."

He staggered, his body swaying, like a drunkard.

My eyelids felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead, and I couldn't open them no matter how hard I tried.

"I really want to... take a nap..."

The viewers in the live stream noticed something was wrong.

"Old Gao! Don't sleep!"

"Once they fall asleep, they won't wake up!"

"This is oxygen intoxication! It's also an anesthetic!"

Gao Yanqiang bit his tongue hard.

The excruciating pain brought him to his senses for a moment.

He leaned against a large tree, panting heavily, his face flushed red like a pig's liver.

"Brothers...we were careless..."

"The medicine here is too potent; it has already invaded my internal organs and bloodstream."

"My body is undergoing drastic changes, and the lack of oxygen is what's causing this fatigue."

After resting for a while, he broke off a tree branch to use as a walking stick.

I carefully made my way forward, leaning on my toes.

"We must find the great medicine as soon as possible and then leave this place."

"If I stay any longer, I might explode and die, or I might fall asleep and turn into fertilizer."

Moreover, he was worried about an even more serious problem.

Such a strong medicinal fragrance will surely attract those mutated wild beasts deep in the Qinling Mountains.

Sure enough, what I feared most came to pass.

"Snoring...snoring..."

A deep, loud sound came from the fog ahead.

The sound was like thunder, making the leaves on the surrounding trees tremble.

What was that sound?

Gao Yanqiang tensed up and immediately squatted down.

The viewers in the live stream were in an uproar.

"Oh no! We've encountered a monster!"

"Judging from that sound, it's definitely not small!"

"Is it that demonic ape? Or some other powerful demon?"

"Old Gao, run!"

However, Gao Yanqiang did not run away.

He spends most of his time collecting medicinal herbs in the mountains and is much bolder than most people.

He squinted and, through the thick fog, vaguely saw a huge black shadow emerging in front of him.

The dark figure was as big as a small hill, and it remained motionless.

He swallowed hard, mustered his courage, and slowly moved over.

The camera swayed as he moved, and all the viewers were on the edge of their seats.

The distance is getting closer and closer.

Ten meters... five meters... three meters...

Finally, the fog dissipated a bit.

Gao Yanqiang and the millions of viewers in the live stream saw the true face of the shadowy figure.

"Holy crap?"

Gao Yanqiang couldn't help but swear.

There was a huge black bear lying on its back on the ground.

It was upside down, its mouth wide open, with a long string of glistening drool hanging from the corner of its mouth.

The deafening snoring sound came from its mouth.

"this……"

The live stream went silent for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha! That's hilarious!"

"I thought he was the boss, but he's just a sleeping god?"

"Was this black bear spirit knocked unconscious by the medicinal fragrance?"

"It seems this medicine is indeed potent; even a bear can't withstand it."

Gao Yanqiang was also left speechless, realizing it was a false alarm.

He even dared to walk over and gently poke the black bear's belly with a branch.

The black bear rolled over, mumbled something, and continued to snore.

"Brothers, it seems all the creatures here have been intoxicated by the drug."

"This is fantastic news for me!"

Since the guardian beasts are all asleep, isn't gathering herbs as easy as taking candy from a baby?

Gao Yanqiang immediately perked up, and his steps became lighter.

We walked for another five minutes.

The intoxicating feeling returned, and it was even more intense than before.

He felt unsteady on his feet, barely able to take a step, and had to stop and catch his breath after each step.

The fog ahead grew thicker and thicker, to the point where you could hardly see your hand in front of your face.

Just then.

A dazzling golden light suddenly pierced through the thick fog and came into his view.

"That is..."

Gao Yanqiang shuddered, and his previously cloudy eyes instantly became clear.

He looked in the direction of the golden light.

There, beneath the roots of a huge ancient pine tree, lay.

A golden ginseng plant, half of it protruding from the soil.

It doesn't have the dry, shriveled appearance of ordinary ginseng.

Instead, it is full and plump, as if cast in gold, and its surface even has a faint halo.

What's most shocking is its thickness.

It was as thick as an adult's arm!

Gao Yanqiang held his breath and slowly approached.

When he saw the ginseng plant in its entirety, he couldn't help but gasp.

The ginseng's trunk was visible protruding from the soil.

An aged face was faintly visible.

Although the facial features are blurry, one can still vaguely make out the eyebrows, eyes, mouth, and nose.

Even the expression on that face seemed to be subtly changing.

It looked like he was laughing, but it also looked like he was deep in thought.

"Oh My God……"

Gao Yanqiang's hands were trembling, and he kept his voice very low, afraid of disturbing something.

"Brothers, we've struck it rich...this time we've really struck it rich!"

"This is the King of Golden Ginseng!"

"And judging by its appearance, it's been fired for at least a thousand years!"

"It's almost become a spirit!"

Inside the live stream, everyone's eyes widened, and they even forgot to send comments.

Everyone stared intently at the strange plant on the screen.

Is this the legendary precious medicine?

Just looking at it, you can feel a vibrant life force.

As Gao Yanqiang took things out of his backpack, he explained the science at a very fast pace.

"Golden Ginseng Kings of this level already possess sentience."

"Give it some more time, and even without the elixir of immortality, it can cultivate itself into a spirit."

"At that time, speaking human language and flying through the air will be no problem."

"This is absolutely the finest of all medicines! Extending one's lifespan by hundreds of years is the starting price!"

As he spoke, he took out a roll of red thread and several silver needles.

This is a ginseng-harvesting tool passed down through the Gao family, specifically designed to deal with these spiritually potent old ginseng roots.

"This thing can burrow into the earth."

"We must first use a red thread to lock its vital energy, and then use silver needles to seal its meridians."

"Otherwise, if you disturb it, it will burrow into the ground and run several kilometers away in an instant."

Gao Yanqiang knelt on the ground, his movements gentle and sacred.

He tied one end of the red thread to a copper coin.

The other end was carefully extended toward the Golden Ginseng King.

The millions of viewers in the live stream were all breathing rapidly.

My heartbeat seemed to be in sync with Gao Yanqiang's movements.

My anxiety and anticipation reached their peak at this moment.

I wish I could lend a hand to Lao Gao.

Seize this precious herb that can defy fate and change one's destiny.
