994 Miracle! (1/2)
The Scarlet Jade Ginseng was a mutant variant ginseng. They were exceedingly rare, and would typically need over a hundred years of careful nurturing to reach full maturity. Before they reached full maturity, they cannot be consumed. But because it needed so much time to reach full maturity, they were excellent spirit herbs when matured. After Cao Guo Feng moved it to his own yard, he'd only taken it as a leisurely activity to tend to it every so often. After all with the long life of Saint Emperors, he would be able to enjoy the ginseng sooner or later…
But still, he didn't place too much importance on it for the time being. After all, it was only around ten years old right now. There were still at least 70, 80 years remaining until it would be worth something…
But who would have thought that this ginseng would actually directly step past over 80 years of growing, directly reaching full maturity in the mere blink of an eye?
When they saw this, the five of them directly froze like stone statues…
”Quick quick… dig it out and take a look! Is it really mature?” The Third Elder said agitatedly as his eyes shone. The Scarlet Jade Ginseng could not really be considered any amazing treasure in the eyes of these Saint Emperors. But a fully matured Scarlet Jade Ginseng was still rather rare. If it was really mature, it would be a nice freebie.
The Seventh Elder stooped down and carefully dug through the ground. Even as a Saint Emperor expert, he was still exceedingly careful. The Scarlet Jade Ginseng was rather unique in that as long as even a single root was hurt when digging, all the Spiritual Qi in it would completely disappear…
This was also the reason why the Scarlet Jade Ginseng was viewed so preciously despite its growth conditions…
A while later, the Scarlet Jade Ginseng was finally dug up completely. An additional deep hole was left on the ground.
After carefully dusting off the dirt around it, a red glow could be seen, with a near translucent ginseng. All five Saint Emperors were promptly stunned!
This… it was actually real!
This was a Scarlet Jade Ginseng that could not be more ripe!
Furthermore, this was definitely the highest grade of Scarlet Jade Ginseng!
Overjoyed with this discovery, the five brothers immediately spread out and started digging…
”Wahaha, look at this stalk of Green Jing, it's actually also reached full maturity…”
”The Violet Zoysia here is actually also fully grown…”
The five old man suddenly turned into common foragers as they searched through this treasure ground excitedly…
How big could a mere courtyard be? Saint Emperor Cao himself was not a herb expert, and there was only a limited number of spirit herbs planted. The five quickly concluded their search in a short time. Looking at the desolate scene before them, the five Saint Emperors clucked their tongues with some pity. They were naturally not feeling regretful about the mess they've created. With their status, even if they trashed another hundred courtyards, they would still not feel anything. In at most one day, the courtyard could be easily restored to its former beauty.
The thing they were truly regretful over was—”if we knew it was like this, we should have planted this courtyard full of spirit herbs… A miracle like this would only happen once in how long ah… To think that such a miraculous anomaly only ended up mainly nourishing those useless weeds and bamboos. What a waste, it was simply a waste of heavenly resources…”
The five all sighed as they looked at the sea of bamboo before them with hatred. In this moment, they only wished to chop these annoying plants down and boil them into soup…
A perfectly fine courtyard had actually turned into a bamboo forest! Even the clean and quiet little houses were all covered with weeds now, and some bamboo had even grown through the ground, breaking past the stone floors…
They had checked very carefully; apart from this yard, there was no anomaly with the plants outside of this yard. From the looks of it, this 'miracle' had only happened to this yard…
”So it's the Heavens giving us more care ah…” the Seventh Elder said with a deep sigh. As he rubbed his buttocks, he did not feel that bad anymore. After all, who else in this world could say that their chrysanthemum had been busted by divine providence? This old man could be said to be the first in the world! This event could even be written into the annals of history!
When he thought of it this way, the Seventh Elder felt that his butt had been honoured…
As dawn approached, Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng finally returned lethargically. The moment they stepped through the door, the both of them froze slightly and instantly turned back around… they should have entered the wrong door…
Bai Qi Feng grumbled softly. ”Boss, you called me a muddlehead all day long, but look at you, you can't even find your own house…”
The two stepped back and looked for a long time. Finally, they turned and walked back through the gate in a confused manner. They looked at the entire yard full of tall grass and verdant bamboos, as well as the thick layer of vines creeping along the walls…
Cao Guo Feng was so shocked that he couldn't say anything.
The yard was also filled with huge holes all over the ground… As for the room that Jun Mo Xie had been staying in, it had already been turned into a breezy open pavilion. Saint Emperor Cao blinked his eyes in disbelief, and he felt like a strangled goose with its throat tightly gripped in someone's fist. After stammering and choking for a long time, he finally roared, ”This… what happened here?”
The scene before him would be shocking to anyone! It was a good thing that he'd noticed the plants first. If he saw the large holes and the destroyed house first, Saint Emperor Cao would definitely think that something had happened to Young Master Jun!
The moment they heard the two come back, the other five Saint Emperors hurriedly ran out from their rooms. The five of them all spoke together, describing all kinds of wondrous magic, causing Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng to nearly faint from the confusion…
