The light inside this cave is actually decent. The reason it is considered somewhat dark is relative. Compared to underground caves, the lighting here is quite good, at most similar to the situation in a forest where sunlight cannot penetrate fully.

However, the top is covered, so there won’t be any rain falling in. But, coincidentally, a mountain stream flows over the mountaintop here, so the water resource in this place is also quite good.

The giant snake stopped near the mountain stream, and Fat Jiao leaped down from the snake’s head, leading Ye Qing across the stream to a spot inside.

”Jiao, what is this place?” Ye Qing asked curiously while walking, not knowing why Fat Jiao brought him here.

Of course, Fat Jiao wouldn’t answer, just leading Ye Qing further in. After about three minutes, they were quite deep inside. The lighting conditions continued to worsen, but the surroundings were also getting more humid.

Ye Qing walked with curiosity, glancing around as he walked. In this time, he vaguely saw some things growing in the clearing ahead.

”What is that?” Ye Qing asked curiously, but after taking a couple more steps forward, his face instantly changed, exclaiming, ”Lingzhi?”

Indeed, it’s Lingzhi! All over the clearing, Lingzhi was growing everywhere!

Back on Mount Wendao, Fat Jiao had given him a Century-Old Jade Ganoderma. Ye Qing didn’t know where Fat Jiao got it from, and at that time, he found it quite miraculous. Now, seeing this, Ye Qing understood that Lingzhi is not something rare for Fat Jiao. Because, from a glance over the clearing, most can be called Jade Ganoderma. And from the roots and stems, these Jade Ganoderma have been growing for quite some time, many reaching the century mark. Among them, some even surpassed the century mark, and the number is astonishing.

How can there be so many Jade Ganoderma in this place? Moreover, they have been growing for so long, it’s an incredibly astounding discovery. If people knew there are these Jade Ganoderma on Mount Wendao, who knows how many would risk their lives to come here!

The effects of Jade Ganoderma are similar to Ginseng, but their scarcity is the main issue. Century Ginseng is easy to find, but even Fifty-Year Jade Ganoderma is hard to find. Speaking of medicinal effects, Century Ginseng and Fifty-Year Jade Ganoderma are almost the same, but the price of Century Ginseng is far less than Fifty-Year Jade Ganoderma. Simply because Jade Ganoderma is so hard to find.

Medicinal herbs like these, the first time you take them, the effects are excellent. But if you keep consuming the same type, the effects diminish greatly. For example, two plants of Century Ginseng have a similar effect to one plant of Century Ginseng and Fifty-Year Jade Ganoderma. Even eating three, four, five plants of Century Ginseng cannot compare to that one extra Fifty-Year Jade Ganoderma. This is because Jade Ganoderma possesses certain effects that Ginseng does not have and cannot be replaced.

Because of this, the value of Jade Ganoderma far surpasses Ginseng. The Century-Old Jade Ganoderma Ye Qing had before could extend the life of a Peak Master, which is one of the effects of a Century-Old Jade Ganoderma. If a Century-Old Jade Ganoderma appears, it will certainly provoke countless conflicts because it’s a crucial item for life extension.

And now, on Mount Wendao, there are so many Century-Old Jade Ganoderma. If this news spreads, wouldn’t it shock the world? Not to mention others, Ye Qing was already left dumbfounded, completely speechless.

Fat Jiao didn’t pay attention to Ye Qing. It walked directly into the clearing, casually picked up a Jade Ganoderma that had been growing for who knows how many hundreds of years, and with a few bites, crunched and ate it, as if it were grass, not a heaven-defying herb.

Ye Qing watched the entire process of Fat Jiao eating the Jade Ganoderma and slowly returned to his senses. Wow, Fat Jiao treats these Jade Ganoderma like snacks. No wonder Fat Jiao is so powerful, and no wonder it’s so plump, clearly from excess nutrition!

But, shock was predominant in his heart. Ye Qing took a deep breath and slowly walked to the side of the patch, looking at the Jade Ganoderma covering the ground. At a glance, he couldn’t tell how many there were, but it was enough to shock him to the core.

”Jiao, are these all yours?” Ye Qing asked in a low voice, his voice trembling with shock. After all, the amount of herbs here is overwhelmingly shocking. He had been to Medicine King Mountain before, and there was no Jade Ganoderma to be found, which shows how rare it is. With so many Jade Ganoderma here, even the Divine Doctor An Shiping would be utterly astounded if he knew about this.

Fat Jiao seemed to understand Ye Qing’s words, nodding towards him, and even pulled down a Jade Ganoderma, handing it directly to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing hurriedly received the Jade Ganoderma and took a close look. This jade was definitely over a century old, and its quality was far better than the one he had Du Canglang eat last time.

The last time, Ye Qing originally planned to take the Century Jade Ganoderma back for Shen Tianjun to consume. However, an unexpected situation occurred on the way, and Du Canglang almost died, so Ye Qing used the Jade Ganoderma to save him. After consuming it, Du Canglang’s strength greatly increased. Previously, he had lost an arm’s strength entirely, but it was now fully restored, showing signs of surpassing before, clearly illustrating how effective the Jade Ganoderma is.

Now that he obtained an even better Jade Ganoderma, Ye Qing certainly wouldn’t eat it himself. He carefully stored it away, as this Jade Ganoderma is intended to be taken back for Shen Tianjun to consume, to help him further enhance his power.

Seeing Ye Qing not eating the Jade Ganoderma, Fat Jiao seemed a bit puzzled and pulled down another Jade Ganoderma, handing it to Ye Qing.

Of course, Ye Qing stored this Jade Ganoderma away again. It’s not that he didn’t want to eat it, but he understood his own situation. He no longer had any strength left, so eating Jade Ganoderma would be a waste. It would be better to pass it on to someone who needs it, like Shen Tianjun, Bloody Monk, Liu Mubai, or Wu Xiuming. This Jade Ganoderma could definitely enhance their strength significantly, which would also be a good thing for Ye Qing.

Fat Jiao was puzzled, not knowing what Ye Qing was thinking. Seeing him not eating, it gestured to Ye Qing a few times, as if asking why he wasn’t eating.

Ye Qing took a deep breath, looked at Fat Jiao, and said, ”Jiao, these Jade Ganoderma are truly crucial for me. Can you allow me to take a few back? I have a great use for them!”

Fat Jiao seemed not to mind and signaled Ye Qing to choose for himself with a wave of its little paw.

Ye Qing was overjoyed, thanked him eagerly, and without being polite, walked into the Jade Ganoderma group and selected a few Century-Old Jade Ganoderma to pick and carefully wrapped them up.

Of course, Ye Qing didn’t pick those too precious Jade Ganoderma. For instance, a few inside looked like they had a history of over five hundred years. Ye Qing naturally wouldn’t pick such precious Jade Ganoderma. Jade Ganoderma of such age must be tremendously beneficial even for beyond peerless masters, and for Peak Masters, it would just be wasteful.

The beyond peerless master on Ye Qing’s side, Fu Qingping, had mysteriously disappeared, with no sign of him to date. If Fu Qingping were still around, Ye Qing would definitely pick a five-hundred-year-old Jade Ganoderma for him. But as Fu Qingping is not here now, Ye Qing decided to leave the five-hundred-year-old Jade Ganoderma alone for now, planning to deal with it if he meets Fu Qingping again in the future.

After collecting a few Century-Old Jade Ganoderma, Ye Qing estimated that the quantity was enough and didn’t pick any more. After all, this is Fat Jiao’s place, and he can’t just take all of its belongings.

However, looking up after picking, Jade Ganoderma over a century old was sprawling all around. The patch extended far and wide. The Jade Ganoderma here stretched farther than the eye could see. The few Ye Qing picked were truly just a drop in the bucket.

Even so, Ye Qing was extremely excited. Gathering so many Jade Ganoderma, coming to Mount Wendao this time was truly a fruitful journey!

Ye Qing packed all the collected Jade Ganoderma and then looked at Fat Jiao, saying, ”Jiao, thank you!”

Fat Jiao seemed indifferent, as if it didn’t care at all about the amount of Jade Ganoderma Ye Qing picked. But this was understandable; with so much Jade Ganoderma here, the small amount Ye Qing took really didn’t matter to it.

After coming out of the patch, Ye Qing took the opportunity to observe the surrounding environment and couldn’t help but sigh. This place was truly the most suitable for Lingzhi growth. No wonder so much Jade Ganoderma was here; this place is practically a perfect growth location. Moreover, it’s been unknown how many years since anyone set foot on Mount Wendao, and the mountain swarmed with snakes as guards. Jade Ganoderma grows here without disturbance, except for Fat Jiao who harvests them. Growth is naturally not an issue. The emergence of five-hundred-year-old Jade Ganoderma is not surprising at all!

However, if these Jade Ganoderma were known to the world, it would certainly shock everyone. After all, these Jade Ganoderma are incredibly rare. Some have attempted to create conditions to cultivate them, but ultimately failed. After all, no matter how mighty a family, it can’t be everlasting. Decades or a century later, it might no longer exist. Once powerful, capable of protecting their cultivated Jade Ganoderma, but as the family’s strength declines, wouldn’t their cultivated Jade Ganoderma end up benefiting others?

It can be said that only Fat Jiao’s place can truly cultivate Jade Ganoderma. The abundance of snakes in the mountains prevents people from coming up. Moreover, Fat Jiao, who knows how long it has lived, its powerful strength prevents anyone from seizing the Jade Ganoderma, naturally allowing so much to thrive!
