Glancing at Hu Xiaobei, Lin Ling'er took a deep breath!

Quickly, she began to speak, "Xiaobei, about this matter, actually... actually I'm not very clear on it either! Previously, I visited my family's Book Collection Pavilion once! That time, I read many books inside, and one book had a vague description, suggesting that a terrifying war happened here a long time ago!"

"A terrifying war?"

Hu Xiaobei had no knowledge of these relatively secretive matters, so when he asked her in response, he was truly filled with astonishment...

Noticing Hu Xiaobei's astonishment, Lin Ling'er nodded gently!

Soon, Lin Ling'er continued, "Yes! According to the description in the book, that war was extremely terrifying! It almost destroyed all the Spirit Veins! It seems to be for this reason, that now, the medicinal herbs here can only grow for a few decades!"

At this, she turned her head to glance again at the Lingzhi that was over two hundred years old...

Because of this preconceived notion, when Lin Ling'er saw this Lingzhi with its astonishing age, she was truly so shocked she didn't know what to say!

Hearing such a detailed explanation, Hu Xiaobei looked into the distance, thoughtfully considering it!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei seemed to have an idea and nodded thoughtfully!

He felt that Lin Ling'er's statement at this moment might actually be quite reasonable...

Previously, in the back mountains of Xiaohe Village, there were also many wild herbs...

But their medicinal age was really only up to a few decades...

Later, thanks to his Nine Wood True Qi, they seemed to have unblocked their meridians, growing terrifyingly...

Thus, there were medicinal herbs that were over a hundred years, even over two hundred years old...

...

Lin Ling'er didn't know what Hu Xiaobei was thinking...

She saw Hu Xiaobei fall into contemplation, taking a deep breath!

Quickly, Lin Ling'er turned her head again to look at the Lingzhi that was over two hundred years old!

After this, she couldn't help but marvel at it again and again.

Before, Lin Ling'er had seen many, many herbs in her family's Medicinal Garden...

But honestly, the oldest among them was just over ninety years...

Yet even so, it was regarded as an absolute treasure by the entire family...

Based on this point, Lin Ling'er knew, if those people in her family saw this Lingzhi, they would instantly go completely mad...

"It's really strange, why can it grow so well! Could there also be a Spirit Vein here?"

With this thought, Lin Ling'er's eyes lit up...

Quickly, Lin Ling'er very seriously and carefully observed...

Lin Ling'er wasn't quite clear about what exactly a Spirit Vein was, she just knew that Spirit Veins could emit very pure Spiritual Energy.

That Spiritual Energy was beneficial to humans, plants, and even animals...

Especially to plants...

Simply put, with the infusion of Spiritual Energy, the growth speed of plants would greatly increase...

With this rather reasonable supposition, Lin Ling'er took a deep breath and observed more intently!

At this moment, she truly wanted to understand the reason why it grew so large...

In her view, as long as it was understood, it might be replicated in her own family...

Gradually, with intense observation, Lin Ling'er noticed that the soil in the Medicinal Garden seemed different from ordinary soil!

Its color was much darker than ordinary soil...

"Huh? Could it be... could it be that the herbs grow so well because of this soil?"

The moment this thought emerged, Lin Ling'er looked even more closely!

Quickly, she reached out with her delicate jade fingers, pinched a bit of soil, and looked at it carefully...

After this, she shook her head slightly disappointed...

She realized she was wrong!

Though the soil looked different from ordinary soil, in reality, it still essentially belonged to the ordinary category!

So relying on this soil alone, it was impossible for the Lingzhi to surpass two hundred years of age...

"If not because of the soil, then could it be because of the water?"

With another idea emerging, Lin Ling'er quickly stood up and went to the babbling creek beside...

"So clear!"

Previously, she had noticed this creek, but hadn't looked closely, as her attention was entirely on those herbs with terrifying ages at the time...

Now, having the time to closely observe the creek, she found it incredibly clear...

It was very easy to see the riverbed...

Taking a deep breath, she squatted gently by the riverside, and soon, placed her hand into the icy and clear river water!

Afterward, she scooped up a handful of water, sniffed it, a faint floral scent wafted up, but she didn't sense much Spiritual Energy...

She knew that this water certainly wasn't the main reason for their transformation either!

Seeing her seriously investigating like this, Hu Xiaobei walked to her side, and soon, Hu Xiaobei softly asked, "Earlier you mentioned Spirit Veins, could you tell me, what are they exactly?"

Previously, in Shennong's legacy, Hu Xiaobei had also heard of the term Spirit Vein!

But Shennong himself didn't understand much, so Hu Xiaobei now wanted to ask her what exactly Spirit Veins were!

Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei's question, she stood up...

Soon, Lin Ling'er looked at Hu Xiaobei...

Afterward, she gave a very detailed explanation of her understanding of Spirit Veins...

After listening, Hu Xiaobei's eyes lit up!

"Sister, you mean the Spiritual Energy in Spirit Veins can rapidly promote herb growth?"

"Yes! Spiritual Energy indeed has such an effect!"

Upon hearing such a response, Hu Xiaobei nodded...

Meanwhile, Hu Xiaobei was circulating the Nine Wood True Qi within his body...

At this moment, he confirmed that the reason these herbs could grow so well and so quickly was all because of his Nine Wood True Qi...

"It seems that the Nine Wood True Qi in my Dantian should have a similar effect to the Spiritual Energy in Spirit Veins!"

Having made this judgment, Hu Xiaobei looked at Lin Ling'er!

Soon, Hu Xiaobei calmly asked, "Earlier, you said that due to some terrifying battle, all the Spirit Veins were cut off! But I think, some Spirit Veins must have been preserved, right!"

"Yes! Some relatively weaker Spirit Veins were damaged less! So they can still be utilized now!"

Upon hearing her confirmative response, Hu Xiaobei continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the reason your families choose to remain hidden in the world is because you occupy those relatively well-preserved Spirit Veins, right!"

No profit, no hard work!

This principle Hu Xiaobei understood very well.

Therefore, Hu Xiaobei thought the reason they were willing to remain hidden was because there were Spirit Veins near their family territories!

Looking at Hu Xiaobei with slight surprise, she softly praised...

"Xiaobei, you... you're really smart! You guessed it right! Yes, including our family, all the Hidden Families are reluctant to leave their dwelling places because there are still relatively decent Spirit Veins there!"

After saying this, Lin Ling'er looked seriously at Hu Xiaobei...

At this moment, Lin Ling'er's evaluation of Hu Xiaobei had truly risen a lot!

Hearing her enthusiastic praise, Hu Xiaobei chuckled lightly and playfully said, "What? Sister, the way you're looking at me now, is it because you've realized I'm getting more handsome!"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's completely narcissistic words, Lin Ling'er glared at Hu Xiaobei...

Soon, Lin Ling'er seriously spoke, "Handsome I haven't seen, but narcissism, I have indeed seen!"
