I can bless thousands of magical powers.

Chapter 20: Birds of a feather

Zhang Yuan's joy was beyond words.

This time he went into the mountains to hunt purely for the purpose of making money.

Zhang Yuan has already made up his mind to save enough money to buy a house and settle down in the shortest possible time.

If I can’t earn enough in one or two days, then I’ll make three or four days. Anyway, I come to the mountains every day and I’m sure I can make enough.

Unexpectedly, he found a rock ginseng.

Just by looking at the number and size of ginseng fruits, Zhang Yuan judged that this rock ginseng was very old.

The older the rock ginseng is, the more valuable it is.

Maybe one ginseng is enough to buy an apartment in the county!
But Zhang Yuan did not get carried away by this, nor did he start digging immediately.

Dragging the body of the mountain goat, Zhang Yuanxian returned to the bottom of the cliff.

The Crow is waiting!
Zhang Yuan skillfully used a dagger to cut open the belly of the blue sheep and dug out the internal organs for the animal to enjoy.

Then climb back to where the rock ginseng is.

He carefully observed the cracks where the rock ginseng was growing, then took off the cloth bag hanging around his waist and grabbed a handful of hay powder from it.

Suddenly threw it into the crevice!
Dust filled the air, along with a strong herbal scent.

The next moment, a black shadow shot out from the crevice in the rock and pounced on Zhang Yuan who was close at hand like lightning!

However, Zhang Yuan was well prepared and had already opened the bag and was waiting.

The black shadow plunged in!
It was a four or five foot long black-scaled gray-spotted snake. Its long body was as thick as a baby's arm, and the scales on its surface glowed with a heart-pounding light under the sunlight.

Zhang Yuan tightly grasped the opening of the bag, and clasped his five fingers together like an iron clamp to hold the snake's vital point tightly!

This was not the first time Zhang Yuan had discovered rock ginseng.

In fact, he had collected several plants before, but they were of very limited vintage, so he could not sell them at a high price.

But Zhang Yuan knew that black-horned vipers usually lived next to rock ginseng.

The black-horned viper is a venomous snake that likes to live in the crevices of shady cliffs and has a symbiotic relationship with rock ginseng.

So if you want to collect rock ginseng, you must first get rid of the black-horned viper!
The magic weapon Zhang Yuan used to catch snakes was a cloth bag used to hold hay powder, which was quite thick.

The black-horned viper's seven-inch jaws were captured, its head was wrapped in a cloth bag, and its mouth, nose and eyes were covered with a large amount of hay powder, rendering its sharpest fangs useless.

It struggled and resisted instinctively, its strong body rolled over and tightly wrapped around Zhang Yuan's arm.

But it didn't work at all.

Zhang Yuan pinched the black-horned viper's vital point and ruthlessly strangled the big snake to death!

The black-horned viper is very poisonous but also very delicious, and it tastes great when used to make soup.

Zhang Yuan thought about it and decided to give up the tempting idea of ​​taking it back and eating it, and sacrificed it to the God's Nest on the spot.

What Zhang Yuan lacks most now is source material. No matter how much it is used to upgrade the main body of the Divine Nest or the host, it is not enough!

As a result, this black-horned viper actually gave him 0.5 points of essence.

It is also an outlier.

After dealing with the black-horned viper, Zhang Yuan took out the herb-collecting tools he carried with him and concentrated on dealing with the rock ginseng growing in the cracks of the rocks.

The growing environment of rock ginseng is special, so it is quite difficult to collect.

If someone who doesn't know anything about ginseng grabs the ginseng stem and pulls it hard, it will definitely break directly, causing the medicinal properties to be lost quickly.

Then it's not worth anything.

He used a specially made long-handled digging spoon and hook to remove the soil bit by bit and hook out the ginseng roots that had penetrated deep into the cracks.

It took Zhang Yuan half an hour to dig out the rock ginseng intact.

There is almost no damage to the ginseng roots, stems, or fruits.

After removing the soil on the surface of the ginseng, the weight of the fresh ginseng is about five taels, and the age of the ginseng is estimated to be between sixty and seventy years.

This is already very rare. You should know that the most valuable rock ginseng Zhang Yuan collected before was less than ten years old.

He estimated that this rock ginseng could be sold for at least a hundred taels of silver.

You can really change to an apartment in the county town.

Zhang Yuan carefully wrapped the rock ginseng in a cloth bag and stuffed it into his arms, then returned to the ground.

The crow and the pile of internal organs had disappeared, leaving only the body of a mountain goat.

And a black feather suspended in the air.

Zhang Yuan didn't care. He was already used to Brother Crow's style of doing things. He picked up the mountain goat and walked out of the mountain.

Under Heiyu's guidance, Zhang Yuan returned to Chenjia Village smoothly.

It was just getting dark.

Zhang Yuan returned just in time and did not put himself in danger.

But inevitably, the prey he carried on his shoulders once again aroused the envy, jealousy and hatred of the villagers.

This is not the first time Zhang Yuan has caught a big deal!
Last time it was a wild boar, this time it was a mountain goat. Why is he so lucky?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Zhang Yuan with admiration.

Many people suddenly realized that this young man from another family had truly grown up and was fully capable of supporting a family independently.

Some villagers are already secretly considering whether to recruit Zhang Yuan as a son-in-law.

If you have the ability to support your family, then it doesn’t matter if you have a different surname!

Suddenly, a figure blocked Zhang Yuan's way.

It was Zhang Xiong who had just arrived in Chenjia Village today!

Zhang Yuan's heart trembled, and he immediately stopped and said, "Master Zhang Wu, what can I do for you?"

Zhang Xiong stroked his chin and asked with a half-smile, "This mountain goat you shot is pretty good. Do you want to sell it?"

Zhang Yuan hesitated for a moment, looking embarrassed.

Then he gritted his teeth and said, "If you like it, Master, I'll give it to you!"

He unloaded the mountain goat weighing hundreds of kilograms and placed it in front of Zhang Xiong.

There was no way. He entered the mountain a little late today and came back too late. Otherwise, Zhang Yuan could have gone directly to the county town to sell it.

Game such as blue sheep sells well in the city.

Zhang Xiong laughed in silence, took out some change and handed it to Zhang Yuan: "I am a martial artist, how can I take advantage of you?"

Zhang Yuan took the silver with great trepidation: "Thank you, Master Wu!"

However, although he appeared respectful on the surface, he actually wanted to give the other person another alpaca!

It would be no problem to sell a mountain goat with its internal organs removed in the county town for two or three taels of silver.

As a result, Zhang Xiong spoke very nicely, but the amount of change he gave him was only half an ounce at most.

If he had known this would happen, Zhang Yuan would have sacrificed himself directly.

The martial artist in front of him was as black-hearted as a maggot, and was exactly the same as Mr. Chen, Master Zhangtou and the others!
"You are very good."

Zhang Xiong nodded, and suddenly asked in an ambiguous tone, "I heard that you followed Gao Ze for three years?"

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment before he realized that the "Gao Ze" the other party was referring to was Gao Liehu.

"Yes." He smiled bitterly, "It's just that Master Gao didn't let me go to his house to help some time ago."

Zhang Yuan's face was full of helplessness and loss, as if he was really hurt.

"Ah."

Zhang Xiong did not ask any further questions, picked up the mountain goat on the ground and walked away.

Zhang Yuan looked at the martial artist's gradually disappearing back, his eyes becoming as dark and deep as the sky.

His prey is not so easy to swallow!
