" Huh?!"

Seeing Chen Yun's appearance, it immediately aroused the curiosity of the audience in the live broadcast room.

Chen Yun quickly walked to a tree. Below the tree, there was a withered tree that had long rotted and turned black. It was covered in moss and was coincidentally blocked by the shade of the tree.

"Eh, we haven't found Chinese Knotweed today, but we found a Lingzhi first!!!”

Chen Yun switched to the camera on her phone and kept getting closer to the Lingzhi so that everyone could observe it in detail.

"If everyone goes up the mountain in the future, you must be careful to distinguish between Lingzhi and poisonous fungi!!”

"Similarly, do not rashly pick Lingzhi when you see it. Instead, observe and identify whether there are any snakes, insects, rats, ants, or other poisonous creatures hidden in the nearby vegetation. Otherwise, it will be bad if you are injured.”

Chen Yun explained as she observed. The audience was also a little nervous and expectant.

"Unfortunately, everyone, look carefully at the lower end of this Lingzhi. It has already been riddled with holes by insects. It's no longer worth picking.”Then, Chen Yun shook her head and said.

Although the netizens were a little confused, they still expressed their regret when they heard Chen Yun's words.

Chen Yun then used a walking stick to search the grass around the Lingzhi.

However, this long rod looked a little charred black. There were some dense cracks on the side like branches of a tree. It looked a little extraordinary.

" Streamer, what's this stick?"

Someone asked curiously.

"It's made of thunderstruck wood. It's an old walking stick that Master has discarded.”

Chen Yun saw the bullet screen and replied casually.

"What is it? Thunderstruck wood? Are you kidding me?"

After he finished speaking, the bullet screen immediately exploded.

"What do you mean by the thunderstruck wood is worthless? This is priceless!"

"This is thunderstruck wood! Under normal circumstances, trees were not easily struck by lightning. All the trees that were struck by lightning either grew on the higher mountains or in the wilderness. Moreover, most of them were relatively large trees.”

"According to the statistics, less than 1% of the trees in the country are struck by lightning every year. Moreover, some of the 'thunderstruck trees' are already incomplete and completely worthless. The stock of 'thunderstruck trees' that can be used is still very small.”

"Therefore, according to the principle of 'the rarer the item, the more valuable it is,' the price of 'Thunderstruck Wood' is really expensive!!”

"Moreover, this thunderstruck wood is so huge. Moreover, the patterns and some scriptures and talismans carved on it are obviously old. I'm afraid its value is not low!”

"Moreover, it seems to be the most expensive thunderstruck jujube wood. It's worth at least tens of thousands!!”

"According to the Daoist school, the date wood struck by lightning is also known as the 'evil-warding wood'. It is the supreme divine wood in Daoist spells. The Book of Ten Thousand Techniques to the Origin listed it as the number one holy wood for making magic tools.”

Netizens were often knowledgeable. Although they were all poor, they could more or less give you a few words of knowledge in any field.

After everyone's careful observation and excited discussion, they also analyzed the market value of the old walking stick in Chen Yun's hand.

They were right. The material of this walking stick was indeed the same as the hundred-year-old thunderstruck jujube wood that Chen Yun had obtained previously.

After being refined by the ancestors of Tianxuan Temple, it was not a problem for it to be preserved for hundreds of years.

According to his master, this walking stick was passed down from the first founder of Tianxuan Temple. It was one of the few valuable items in Tianxuan Temple.

In fact, the only difference between this walking stick and the Thunderstruck Date Wood that Chen Yun had obtained before was that there was no one who could match up to it.

When the ancestor first discovered this piece of thunderstruck wood, it was a local landlord who had built a mansion to cut down the local trees. He had accidentally discovered it when he passed by. Unfortunately, he had lost the unique Taoist wood-picking ritual, causing the wood to have already leaked most of its Gang Qi when the ancestor first discovered it. Its spirituality had also weakened greatly.

Fortunately, after some exquisite methods of the ancestor's continuous blessing and refinement, it was finally preserved. It did not really become a dead tree and then passed down to this day.

He could use this evil repelling and demon-suppressing lightning cane to scout the way and avoid the sudden attack of the hibernating poisonous insects and mutated beasts.

Chen Yun had once mentioned to his master whether he could re-process this walking stick to make a seal for him.

However, his master shook his head and rejected it. The raw materials of this magic tool were originally lacking in people and had become a defective product with congenital deficiencies. Through the exquisite methods of the ancestor, it was barely saved. After hundreds of years of history, it was already naturally filled with spirituality.

Once it was damaged, it would immediately become an ordinary wooden stick. Wouldn't that be a waste of a heavenly treasure, let alone making a seal for him?

So don't even think about it!

Zheng Yuan was also looking at the wooden cane that was struck by lightning in the livestream.

However, unlike the others, Zheng Yuan could notice some mysterious lightning patterns on this walking stick that were not eye-catching. It looked first-class in the hand, and the patina was naturally thick.

It was blessed and refined according to the ancient Taoist method. It was full of spiritual energy and seemed to have a history of hundreds of years. If it was worn, it could ward off evil spirits and suppress evil spirits. It was also beneficial to one's cultivation.

Zheng Yuan observed the wooden staff. Not only was its raw material rare, but it was also more valuable because it had been blessed with hundreds of years of Dao techniques and spirituality. It had become a treasure of a magic tool as a whole, and it was also a piece of artwork that had a very high collection value in traditional culture!...

If he were to bid for it, it would be worth at least 500,000 yuan!!

The only pity was that he didn't come from Wudang, a first-class sect, but from an unknown mountain Taoist temple.

Otherwise, the price of its reputation could be increased several times over. However, this was purely based on commercial value considerations. Its quality was not inferior to these so-called orthodox spiritual artifacts, so it was not worth mentioning.

Good heavens, this Taoist priest looked so shabby and poor, but in the end, a stick was so powerful.

Chen Yun continued to use his "ordinary" walking stick to search for rare herbs.

Unfortunately, the plants that were discovered were either young or damaged by insects. They were of no value to be mined.

However, Chen Yun did not panic at all. After all, this kind of thing itself depended on luck. It had to be very patient and careful.

"Brothers, we are about to enter the deep mountains. Here, we are very likely to encounter some wild animals, such as black bears, wild boars, and even pandas and leopards in the Qinling Mountains.”

Chen Yun continued to walk in. To be honest, there were very few outdoor live broadcasts like him in the mountains.

Moreover, his stream was extremely realistic. There was no trace of a script at all, which was why he was able to attract the audience. At this moment, his stream's popularity was already close to 250,000!!

"The first is the wild boar, but don't worry too much about it. Wild boars won't easily attack humans.”

Chen Yun continued to explain," The most terrifying ones are the black bears and leopards. These are very agile and lethal beasts. You didn't hear wrongly. The black bear's running speed is beyond your imagination!”

Chen Yun carefully explored as she walked.

He had already left the outer edge of the forest and was relatively deep in the mountains.

"Eh? There seems to be something mysterious here."

At this moment, Chen Yun's eyes lit up.

A ray of sunlight was refracted from a crack in the rocks high up in front of him, and emerald green leaves actually grew out.

This scene immediately piqued Chen Yun's interest.

He took out a clamp from his backpack and loosened the soil around the root of the leaf before slowly picking out the root of the fruit.

When the root fruit was picked out by Chen Yun, the audience in the live broadcast room was shocked.

"F * ck, what the hell is this?"

"It seems to be Chinese Knotweed? This is the real Chinese Knotweed?"

"That was close. If the streamer's technique wasn't so experienced, I'm afraid this root would have been pinched off.”

Moreover, the root that Chen Yun had picked out had grown into the shape of a human baby. It looked very strange.

Chen Yun only observed for a moment and immediately came to a conclusion."That's right, this is indeed the Chinese Knotweed.”

Upon hearing this, the netizens raised their doubts.

"Host, I've seen Chinese Knotweed before. It doesn't look like this, right?”

"That's right, Daoist Priest. It's better not to make such a judgment so easily, hahaha.”

"Indeed, in my impression, there are such shapes of Chinese Knotweeds???”

"However, it's hard to say. The world is big and there are all kinds of strange things. Who knows if the fleeceflower root mutated during its growth???”

"Yeah, many plants grow in special environments, so they have to adapt to the changes in the terrain and change into all kinds of strange shapes.”

"That's right. This netizen's words are quite relevant.”

……

"Does anyone know the age of this Chinese Knotweed and its value?”

"It looks so small. It shouldn't be very valuable, right?”

After a moment, Director Zheng Yuan also spoke,"I asked my second uncle. He mainly studies Chinese medicine. He said that because of the special environment in which he grew up, it is impossible to identify the year by conventional methods.”

"But to be honest, it's hard to tell just by observing the appearance. Streamer, can you cut a little of the roots and take a look at the camsium of the Chinese Knotweed?”

"Oh? Not bad!"

Chen Yun couldn't tell the age of this Chinese Knotweed, so it wouldn't hurt to let a professional appraise it.

Therefore, Chen Yun took out a small copper knife from his backpack and cut off a section of the roots of the Chinese Knotweed. Then, he used a magnifying glass to magnify it in the live broadcast room for him to identify it.

A moment later, Director Zheng Yuan sent another bullet comment: "Good heavens, my second uncle has observed your live broadcast for a while and has come to a conclusion!!!”

"Streamer…you're rich. This fleeceflower was in the shape of a baby. Even though it was not big, it was a genuine thousand-year fleeceflower!!!”

Zheng Yuan learned from his second uncle that his second uncle was extremely shocked!!

This was because he had been researching Chinese medicine for more than 20 years. Forget about a thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed, even a hundred-year-old Chinese Knotweed was extremely rare!!!

After all, with the changes of the times, the cheaper ones circulating in the market were often artificially grown fleeceflower roots, which had basically become the mainstream....

As for the wild thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed, it had long become a rare item that could only be encountered by chance!!!

"In the past, my second uncle was still wondering if he would ever see a wild, thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed again in his lifetime. He didn't expect to find out today! According to his rough estimation, this thousand-year wild Chinese Knotweed was worth at least 200,000 yuan!”

"Is that so?"

However, Chen Yun was not shocked by the value of the thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed. He suddenly had an ominous feeling!!!

Suddenly! A huge snake that seemed to have a diamond-shaped pattern suddenly darted out from the weeds near the thousand-year-old wild Chinese Knotweed!

At this moment, the audience was focused on observing this valuable thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed. However, a snake suddenly appeared in the camera. It was extremely swift and fierce as it darted over like a bolt of lightning, and they were all shocked.

"Ah!"

Many netizens screamed, and some even threw their phones out.

Unfortunately, Li Yueyue, who was in Zhao Xinran's dormitory, was the unlucky one.

She was lying on the bed drinking milk tea and watching the live broadcast on her phone. Suddenly, a snake jumped out and gave her a shock!!

She subconsciously spat out the milk tea in her mouth and threw the phone in her hand!!!

Li Yueyue quickly got out of bed. Fortunately, her phone had been thrown onto an esports chair. Otherwise, if it had been thrown onto the floor, she would have been finished!

She picked up her phone and was a little frightened."Oh my god! Snakes! Moreover, it looked like there were patterns on it. Could it be a poisonous snake?!”

" Is the Taoist priest alright??"

"Please don't disfigure yourself."

The appearance of the snake was too sudden, stunning the audience.

The snake's speed was too fast!

In order to give a close-up of this wild thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed, Chen Yun switched to the mobile phone's perspective for the live broadcast, so the audience felt as if they were there!!

When they took a closer look, they realized that the snake had already flown a few meters away. Its head was dark brown, and its back was grayish-white. There were diamond-shaped patterns on it. It was a smaller five-step snake!!!

Fortunately, Chen Yun was not injured at all, and her expression was very calm.

"Everyone, don't worry. Although it's a venomous five-step snake, it's still underage, so it's not a threat.”

The camera switched to the drone.

It turned out that the moment the five-step snake appeared, Chen Yun, who had a bad premonition and was on guard, quickly reacted and used the Thunderstruck Wooden Cane to directly send the five-step snake flying.

Moreover, the five-step snake seemed to be quite afraid of his walking stick. It immediately slipped into the grass and disappeared.

It was a surprise but not a danger.

"Phew, don't worry. The mountains are like this. Snakes, insects, rats, and ants are everywhere. There are also scorpions and other poisonous creatures.”

Chen Yun explained with a smile.

"Wow, Taoist priest is awesome!"

"Excitement! It was too exciting! You scared me!"

"Streamer, my phone almost fell to the ground!”

"It really scared me to death! This is a five-step snake!"

"That's right, it was really thrilling!!”

"Streamer, is that snake guarding this thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed?”

someone asked.

Chen Yun looked at the bullet screen and explained to everyone with a smile,

"No, haha, snakes are carnivores. For example, Lingzhi, Chinese Knotweed, and other medicinal herbs are just ordinary mushrooms or ordinary plants to them.”

"The reason why the snake is entrenched here is probably because this place is covered with dense foliage and is relatively cool.”

"If you encounter such a situation, you must not be too impatient and rash to pick it. You must first investigate the surrounding grass environment to avoid any potential danger.”

At this moment, Zheng Yuan once again sent a super hot tip and attached a private message:

"Host, are you selling this thousand-year-old wild Chinese Knotweed? I want to buy it."

"This Chinese Knotweed is actually worth 200,000 yuan??”

"That's for sure. Fleeceflower root can warm and nourish the liver, gather essence, nourish the blood, strengthen the essence, and nourish the kidney. It can also nourish black hair, moisten the intestines, relieve bowels, and replenish blood essence. Especially for the elderly, it was a great tonic. It could prolong life and restore various bodily functions!”

"Really? Is it that mysterious?”

"To put it bluntly, this thing is used by the rich. Rich people are willing to spend hundreds of thousands on tiger penises. It's normal for a thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed Flower to cost so much.”

"That's true."

The live broadcast room was constantly discussing. There were already many people who had privately messaged Chen Yun to buy his thousand-year-old Chinese Knotweed.

"Daoist Priest, are you selling this Chinese Knotweed? You can name your price."

"Thirty thousand, I want it!"

"Daoist Priest, I want to buy it. The price is negotiable.”

Chen Yun carefully put away the thousand-year-old wild Chinese Knotweed, and then looked at the private messages in the background.

There were many people who wanted to buy it. He had originally come up the mountain to collect herbs to sell them to subsidize the expenses of the Taoist temple.

The highest bidder was Director Zheng Yuan!
