Chapter 599 - 579: Can Spirit Medicine Run Away on Its Own?

"Really, it is true, but now these things are basically extinct. If it were during the Southern Song, there might still be a chance to find some, but now it's too difficult to locate them."

What? It's true?

Ren Feng was a bit surprised, "Old man, you say these things are true, does that mean those dragons exist too?"

"You little brat, don't think that just because you've been out for a few years and seen a lot of the world, you know everything. There are some things that you won't know until you're at a certain level."

Han Buyan said from the side, "Dragons did indeed exist in the Ancient Era, but they are long extinct now. And those heavenly materials and earthly treasures, some still exist today, but they're very hard to find, hiding who knows where."

Upon hearing Ren Feng's silence, Han Buyan knew Ren Feng needed time to digest, so he continued, "The items listed above can be considered Spirit Medicine. If they truly have any use, there are a few I could perhaps ask someone to investigate, and it might be possible to obtain them."

"What is Spirit Medicine?" Ren Feng asked.

"The medicinal materials used in traditional Chinese medicine are classified based on their age; you know this, right?"

"I know."

"Generally, the longer the age of the medicinal material, the better its effectiveness. In traditional Chinese medicine, this is because medicinal materials are also plants—the longer they grow, the more they absorb the essence of heaven and earth, which is stored within them, and undergoes qualitative change over time, far beyond ordinary medicinal materials."

Ren Feng seemed to understand, "Old man, can that be considered Spirit Medicine?"

"I haven't finished yet, why are you so impatient?" Han Buyan said leisurely.

Ren Feng was speechless, wasn't it you who told me to hurry up earlier? Now you're not in a rush.

"These aged medicinal materials can't be called Spirit Medicine. True Spirit Medicine is definitely different!"

Han Buyan's tone suddenly became serious, "Little brat, do you believe in ginseng becoming a spirit, disappearing upon landing, and teleporting a thousand miles?"

Ren Feng's face turned strange, disappearing upon landing, teleporting a thousand miles?

"Little brat, don't doubt it. Ginseng that's reached a certain age has a chance of becoming a ginseng spirit. At that point, they aren't just simple ginseng anymore; they will have arms and legs, eyes and nose, and even cry like a doll. Associated with the land, they can instantly disappear into the ground. Such ginseng spirits are also called Ginseng Dolls."

Ren Feng listened dumbfounded, "You mean ginseng can run?"

"Exactly, I've personally seen one such Ginseng Doll. This kind of Ginseng Doll can be considered Spirit Medicine."

Ren Feng was stunned, "O-Old man, you said you've seen one with your own eyes?"

The old man's words left Ren Feng no choice but to believe, but he could hardly imagine that plants could become spirits. My goodness, this isn't scientifically possible.

"Little brat, sometimes when you reach that realm, you'll know. Don't get cocky just because you have a bit of power now. It's very easy to get into trouble this way."

"Old man, I'm not cocky, I've always stayed quite low-key," Ren Feng said helplessly.

"Low-key? You think blowing up a building in the United States is low-key? Blowing up that Clausewitz Prison? You still think you're not noticeable enough?" The old man exaggeratedly blew his beard and glared.

Ren Feng was stupefied, oh my, how did the old man know it was his doing? But he quickly changed the subject.

"Old man, so you're saying these Spirit Medicines all run on their own?"
