Because of the level restrictions, there is a limit to the amount of plant energy she can absorb each day. If she wants to break through as soon as possible, she can only keep going up the mountain to absorb plant energy.
Unfortunately, she has too many chores to do now, so she can only go up the mountain whenever she can find the time.
After absorbing the energy, Xu Qinghe began searching for herbs that Shen Zhi could use.
She found a relatively robust weed, closed her eyes, and a stream of green starlight flowed from Xu Qinghe's fingertips, slowly dripping onto the weed.
The already robust weeds grew even more robust, and even their leaves were so green that they shone.
Immediately afterwards, the energy of the nearby vegetation surged into Xu Qinghe's mind, appearing as scattered stars like a sea of flowers filled with fireflies.
Xu Qinghe closed her eyes and silently sensed the energy of the surrounding vegetation.
Because Shen Zhi and the others were not present, Xu Qinghe's perception was much more refined this time.
Then she discovered that the range she could perceive this time was significantly larger than before, and the intensity of the aperture had also increased considerably.
It must be because she was about to break through to level two. Just then, Xu Qinghe suddenly noticed something different.
There was a spot that was dark when she first explored it, but now it was the brightest place.
It's likely that her level wasn't high enough, and the plant's energy was too high, blocking her detection.
Thinking of this, Xu Qinghe could no longer control herself and quickly walked over.
Fortunately, the bright spot wasn't too far from where the wild boars were, and Xu Qinghe could see the situation clearly from there, so she walked over with peace of mind.
Since Shen Zhi and the others were not there, Xu Qinghe did not try to hide herself and went straight to the bright spot.
Upon parting the weeds, Xu Qinghe discovered a wild ginseng plant hidden inside, and instinctively began counting its leaves.
"First rank, second rank, third rank, fourth rank."
It was a full fourth-grade leaf. Although it wasn't fifth-grade, it was already very lucky for her to find a fourth-grade ginseng at her current level.
Xu Qinghe didn't hesitate any longer and picked up the small hoe in his hand to start digging little by little.
She was very good at digging wild vegetables and digging the ground with this hoe, but it was a bit rough when digging such precious things.
Xu Qinghe used the tip of the hoe to dig out the ginseng bit by bit, and it took him more than half an hour to dig out the whole ginseng.
The ginseng was a fine specimen, with a long, dense stem, old, and deeply textured skin, long, beaded rootlets, and an exquisite shape.
Based on her understanding of ginseng, Xu Qinghe knew that although this was a fourth-grade ginseng, it was quite old. If Xu Qinghe hadn't discovered it, it shouldn't have been a problem for it to grow to the fifth grade.
But she urgently needs money to improve her life, so she can't let it continue to grow.
Just then, Xu Qinghe suddenly heard voices, which startled her so much that she quickly put away the ginseng and ran towards the wild boar.
Unsure of who the visitor was, Xu Qinghe didn't impulsively reveal herself, but instead hid behind a big tree and secretly observed.
A familiar voice came from not far away, "Second Uncle, is it up ahead? I can smell wild boar."
Seeing Shen Ping'an's excited expression, Shen Zhi smiled and responded.
Then came a gruff male voice, "Shen Zhi, you're something else! I've been roaming these mountains for so many years and never dared to touch a wild boar. I never expected you to be so capable, daring to take your wife and kids along. You're something else!"
Shen Zhiqian said modestly, "I was forced into this situation. This thing was chasing after the two children. If I didn't take action, we would be the ones who died."
Shen Daqiang nodded, "That's true. Sigh! Running into this thing here, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
"Luckily, you're strong enough to take care of this thing."
As they were talking, the person walked over, and Xu Qinghe also stepped out from behind the big tree in a generous manner.
Upon seeing Xu Qinghe, Shen Zhi frowned and asked somewhat unhappily, "Why did you come down?"
Xu Qinghe knew why he was unhappy; he must be upset that she hadn't taken her safety seriously. She immediately smiled and replied, "I came down as soon as I heard your voices."
"How can you do it now?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Daqiang pulled out the machete from his waist, walked towards the wild boar, kicked its body left and right, and readily agreed, "Sure." Then he went to chop down a tree as thick as an arm.
Seeing this, Shen Ping'an hurriedly followed, leaving only the two of them at the moment.
Shen Zhi looked at Xu Qinghe with concern and asked, "Will it be alright if I leave?"
Xu Qinghe looked up and smiled sweetly at him, "It's okay, I'm perfectly safe."
"How are you? Does your injury still hurt?" she said, looking at Shen Zhi.
He was still wearing the same clothes as before, and the smell of blood permeated his entire body, making it impossible to tell whether it was wild boar blood or his own.
Shen Zhi noticed Xu Qinghe's worry and quickly reassured her, "I'm fine."
"I'll go help them. You keep an eye on packing your things."
Xu Qinghe nodded, then turned around and took out the hidden basket, placing it next to the wild boar.
Seeing that Shen Zhi and the others hadn't finished setting up the frame to carry the wild boar down, Xu Qinghe wanted to take the opportunity to find some more herbs.
When Shen Zhi saw her, he immediately scolded her, "Don't wander around."
Xu Qinghe shrugged, retreating helplessly to the vicinity of the wild boar, and began to search the surrounding area carefully.
Seeing her obedient appearance, Shen Ping'an said admiringly, "Second Uncle, you're really amazing. You dare to be fierce to Auntie."
In his family, it was always his mother who spoke ill of his father; his father never dared to speak ill of his mother.
Shen Daqiang secretly glanced at the serious Shen Zhi and slowly began to admire him.
It would be better to find someone from a wealthy family! They'd be obedient, unlike his wife, who's a shrew who resorts to violence when she can't win an argument.
After being scolded by Shen Zhi, Xu Qinghe didn't dare to wander around. She stayed near the wild boar, searching for herbs based on the brightness of the light circle.
Unexpectedly, she actually found the Panax notoginseng. After uprooting it, Xu Qinghe retreated to the side of the wild boar and watched them tie the wild boar to the tree trunk.
Shen Daqiang was clearly an expert in this field; he was in charge of cutting down trees, building scaffolds, and tying up wild boars, while Shen Zhi and Shen Ping'an mostly assisted him.
As time went by, Shen Daqiang's expression grew increasingly serious. "We need to leave quickly. The smell of blood is too strong. It wouldn't be good if we attracted other wild animals."
Upon hearing this, Shen Zhi quickly responded and unconsciously sped up his movements.
After tying up the wild boar, the group carried it down the slope, with Shen Daqiang leading the way, carrying two wooden sticks on his shoulders.
Shen Zhi also placed the wooden stick on his shoulder, held it with both hands, and walked behind.
Xu Qinghe walked beside her to help with the greetings, while Shen Ping'an was responsible for giving her a basket to carry on her back.
Looking at his thin frame, Xu Qinghe instinctively wanted to refuse, but Shen Zhi stopped her with a single sentence: "A real man should let him do it."
Xu Qinghe...
