Beneath the layer of soil, Cheng Xiaofan also discovered a petrified demonic beast, guarding the pair of premium couple ginseng closely.
*Whoosh!*
Cheng Xiaofan leaped.
He immediately flew across the river and landed below the cliff on the opposite bank.
First, he meticulously cleared away all the weeds growing on that patch of soil.
Then, he flipped his right palm, and a strand of dragon power flowed from his palm, penetrating the soil and slowly lifting it upwards.
Before long, a pair of couple ginseng, intact, were lifted out by Cheng Xiaofan's dragon power.
The pair of couple ginseng, just like the humans they resembled, had distinct facial features and were a full meter and forty centimeters long.
"Heh, you've finally fallen into my hands!" Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and took out a hair tie from his spatial storage, carefully tying the two ginseng together.
Such large, premium couple ginseng, if seen by the world, would undoubtedly shatter their understanding of the ginseng world.
From ancient times to the present, who had ever seen such a thing as couple ginseng?
More importantly, this pair of ginseng originated from Earth's prehistoric era.
In this world, how many people had ever witnessed products from Earth's prehistoric era!
If one were to pluck a single root from this pair of ginseng and boil it into soup, it would be a supreme tonic, offering absolute benefits for strengthening the body.
Such premium couple ginseng, in the real world, apart from their mythical existence, were impossible for anyone to have seen from ancient times to the present.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately collected the pair of premium couple ginseng into his spatial storage.
He was acutely aware that these ginseng could not appear in the real world. Once seen and spread, a series of influential figures would inevitably come knocking to purchase them, or even use their authority to demand them.
After all!
Consuming such ginseng would likely allow one to live for an extra one or two hundred years without issue.
Facing such a situation, Cheng Xiaofan naturally would not allow this pair of products from Earth's prehistoric era to easily appear before the eyes of the world.
It wasn't that he feared the powerful, but rather that he felt there was no need to make enemies of such people.
After securely storing the pair of premium couple ginseng, Cheng Xiaofan beckoned again and swiftly collected the demonic beast into his spatial storage.
*Boom!*
The oasis before them rapidly vanished amidst a thunderous roar.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately leaped, his entire being transforming into an afterimage, entering another area of verdant mountains and clear waters.
At this moment, Cheng Xiaofan made a new discovery.
The petrified demonic beasts were not merely guarding precious medicines, but also served to protect the spiritual realm of the oasis.
If he hadn't collected the demonic beast into his spatial storage, the oasis spiritual realm where he stood would not have disappeared.
Cheng Xiaofan had initially believed that the desert had a very short time limit for opening the prehistoric oasis of Earth, but it seemed that was not the case.
He could thoroughly search this oasis spiritual realm for whatever he needed.
"Ah, is this Ice Lingzhi?" Just then, Cheng Xiaofan discovered a spiritual mushroom the size of a bathtub on an ancient cypress tree.
This spiritual mushroom was transparent, resembling an ice sculpture, crystal clear, with patterns that looked like auspicious clouds condensed together.
Hence, it was also known as the Auspicious Cloud Ice Lingzhi.
This lingzhi had a unique fresh fragrance, which made one's blood surge upon inhaling it.
Cheng Xiaofan had never seen such a lingzhi before; it was the information fed back into his mind when he smelled its fragrance that told him what it was.
Medicinal pills refined using this lingzhi, when consumed by cultivators, could increase their power by twenty years and render them immune to all poisons.
This Auspicious Cloud Ice Lingzhi was recorded in the Shennong Classic.
If not for smelling its unique fragrance, Cheng Xiaofan would never have realized he had stumbled upon treasure again.
Of course, he also quickly understood that this Auspicious Cloud Ice Lingzhi was cultivated by Emperor Shennong himself in this very spot, and there was only this single specimen.
Emperor Shennong had poured immense effort into cultivating this lingzhi.
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was preparing to pick this lingzhi, a venomous snake, about a zhang long, suddenly darted out from behind the ancient cypress tree and lunged at him.
The snake was entirely dark green, with tiger-like stripes. Its head was triangular, and atop its head grew a very vibrant red crest.
Could this be the legendary Crested Serpent?
Regarding the Crested Serpent, the Shennong Classic also contained records. This snake was incredibly venomous, far more so than a king cobra.
The cry of this snake resembled the crowing of a rooster. It could stand and walk, and even fly through the air.
Crested Serpents were extremely irritable, attacking any creature they encountered. During a fight, their crest would change from bright red to blackish-purple.
Although Crested Serpents were extraordinarily venomous, their blood and gall were potent antidotes.
Medicinal pills refined using its blood and bile, combined with beautification grass, could not only enhance beauty but also eliminate all impurities from the body, increase physical constitution, and prevent all diseases.
This was another treasure!
*Pfft!*
At this moment, the venomous snake reared up and spat a mouthful of toxic mist towards Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan did not have time to dodge, and the toxic mist enveloped him completely.
A dizzying sensation overwhelmed him, and Cheng Xiaofan nearly fainted from choking on the poisonous mist.
Fortunately, the dragon power within him was not to be trifled with. With a flash of golden light, it instantly dispersed the toxic mist that had covered him.
The Crested Serpent was astonished that the toxic mist it spat out had been dispersed by the glowing entity on the other party, and for a moment, it froze in disbelief.
Ordinary beings, once enveloped by its toxic mist, had no chance of survival.
What kind of creature was this before him, capable of resisting its toxic mist?
"What kind of creature are you?" The triangular eyes of the Crested Serpent widened, and it spoke human words, asking Cheng Xiaofan.
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan was utterly bewildered!
In this spiritual realm, even a venomous snake could speak human language!
He replied with a smile, "I am human, named Cheng Xiaofan!"
The Crested Serpent scrutinized Cheng Xiaofan for a few moments, then aggressively interrogated him again, "You are human, named Cheng Xiaofan, what is Cheng Xiaofan?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Cheng Xiaofan is not 'what,' it is a person's name."
As soon as he spoke, he realized the wording was somewhat strange.
Didn't that sound like he was insulting himself?
At this, the Crested Serpent spoke again, "I don't care what your name is, get out of here immediately! The Auspicious Cloud Ice Lingzhi belongs to me, and I won't allow you to touch it!"
Cheng Xiaofan's eyes narrowed, and he said, "You say the Auspicious Cloud Ice Lingzhi is yours, so it is?"
"Do you believe me when I say this Auspicious Cloud Ice Lingzhi is mine?"
"How dare you try to snatch the Auspicious Cloud Ice Lingzhi from me, you clearly don't wish to live!" The Crested Serpent's ferocity erupted, and it spat another mouthful of toxic mist towards Cheng Xiaofan.
This time, Cheng Xiaofan was prepared. With a flash of movement, he evaded to the side.
The Crested Serpent whipped its tail violently, sending a string of venomous green flames flying towards Cheng Xiaofan.
Cheng Xiaofan knew that if he were touched by these highly poisonous flames, he would instantly turn into a charred husk, and even his dragon qi could not protect him.
Terrified, he leaped into the air, flying to a large tree on the opposite side.
