Chapter 19: Dog Tail Grass? Spirit Fox Grass?

  Ye Zhuang was very excited, walking alongside Ye Han on the way, humming old and out-of-tune songs nonstop, occasionally touching the stack of money in his pocket, as if afraid it would be lost, thinking about what to buy first tomorrow.

  Ye Han smiled on the side, thinking that this saying was indeed true. Ye Zhuang, this kid, had no heart and no lungs, every day only knowing how to eat, drink and have fun, not worrying at all about his poor academic performance. No wonder his figure was bigger than others by a size.

  When they reached the intersection ahead, the two of them waved goodbye. Ye Zhuang had a large amount of cash on him and walked with a light step. After parting ways with Ye Han, he hadn't gone far when he accidentally tripped over a broken brick on the road. "Ah!" he cried out loudly as his body stumbled forward, and his head was about to hit the wall by the side of the road.

  Ye Han's eyes moved quickly and his hands were swift, taking a slanted step forward. With just this one step, he instantly appeared beside Ye Zhuang. He reached out to grab Ye Zhuang's arm, steadying his body, and laughed: "You little scamp, have your eyes grown on top of your head? You're not even watching the road!"

  Ye Zhuang looked at the wall in front of him and thought, "This is going to hurt, I'm definitely going to end up with a bloody head!" He broke out in a cold sweat and cursed, "Damn it, what a huge brick! Who threw this? So inconsiderate!"

  "Alright, hurry back!" Ye Han smiled and patted Ye Zhuang's shoulder, just about to turn around and leave. Suddenly, under the streetlight, he saw a few weeds growing by the wall, "Huh?" He squatted down to take a closer look, and his whole body froze there.

  "What's wrong?" Ye Zhuang asked, still shaken, seeing that Ye Han's expression was off, he squatted down beside him and asked.

  Ye Han's eyes widened, seemingly even more excited than Ye Zhuang, who was carrying a large sum of money. He pointed to the weeds by the wall and stuttered: "This grass... this grass..."

  Ye Zhuang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss, it's just a few stalks of dogtail grass, what are you getting so worked up about?"

  "What's 'dog tail grass'?" Ye Han was taken aback, then angrily said: "Nonsense! What dog tail grass? This is clearly fox spirit grass! Look, doesn't it resemble a fox's tail?"

  Before his soul was taken away, Ye Han was also an otaku, usually only traveling between school and home, even when playing, he would only be limited to a few places in the city, rarely going to the suburbs, plus he never paid attention to the flowers and grasses around him, so he didn't recognize dog tail grass.

  Nowadays, Ye Han comes from a Xianxia world. In the Xianxia world he is in, the few small grasses in front of him are called "Ling Huo Cao" (Spirit Fox Grass). They are named so because they resemble fox tails. Ling Huo Cao can be used to refine wood-based pills and has a remarkable effect on enhancing the spiritual energy of wood. It is extremely precious.

  Ye Han never thought that he could see the existence of "Ling Huo Cao" here, but according to Ye Zhuang's words, people in this world actually call "Ling Huo Cao" as "Dog Tail Grass", what a terrible name, it's simply blasphemy against this alchemy spirit grass!

  "Fox tail? Please, it's more like a dog's tail! " Ye Zhuang curled his lips and muttered to himself: "Linghucao? What is that thing?"

  Ye Han stretched his neck, carefully observing the few "Ling Huo Grass" by the wall. His eyes shone with light as he casually explained: "The Ling Huo Grass absorbs the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to grow, it's a very precious kind of alchemy spirit grass. Using it to refine 'Mu Ling Dan', after taking it can enhance the wood spiritual energy... Wait, why am I telling you this? It's like playing the zither for a cow, even if I tell you, you won't understand!"

  Ye Zhuang said: "What spiritual grass, spiritual energy, refining dan... Boss, have you seen too much? Wake up! And, dog tail grass is also called precious? This will be laughed to death if it gets out!"

  Ye Han rolled her eyes and said irritably, "Well, if you're so capable, go find me some more of this herb!"

  "Easy as pie!" Ye Zhuang said with a snort, "Want me to find dog tail grass? I can find you thousands and thousands of them in just one minute!"

  "Tens of thousands?" Ye Han looked at him and didn't seem to be talking nonsense, suddenly became excited and said: "Where is this grass? Take me there quickly!"

  Tens of thousands of "Linghucao" are enough to refine hundreds or even thousands of "Mulingdan". Practitioners who take it can enhance the wood spirit energy in their body, while ordinary people who take it have a miraculous healing effect on some stubborn diseases. If sold, Ye Han wouldn't want to sell one for 10,000 yuan, and it's hard not to get rich.

  "Nowadays, the city is full of cement roads and you can't see much dog tail grass. However, if you go to the wilderness, it's everywhere! You can have as much as you want! Hmm...the sky is getting dark, anyway tomorrow is a double rest day, we don't need to go to school, let's go find some dog tail grass together tomorrow!"

  "Alright! Remember to finish the homework for these two days before you go back, and tomorrow morning, let's go out of town together!" Ye Han said, carefully pulling up the few "Linghuo Grass" by the wall, holding them in both hands, nodding and smiling at Ye Zhuang, then turning around and walking towards home.

  Ye Zhuang saw him holding a few stalks of dogtail grass, as if he was holding an imperial edict, and couldn't help but laugh. He scratched his head and returned to his own home.

  When Ye Han returned home, his parents had already gone out to set up their stall. Only his older brother Ye Shan and younger sister Ye Ting were left at home. He didn't even bother greeting them, the first thing he did was rush to a corner of the courtyard and plant the "Ling Huo Cao" in the ground, then water it, squatting there watching it, his heart bursting with joy, he couldn't help but grin foolishly.

  After Ye Han returned home, he was mysterious, and both Ye Shan and Ye Ting were curious. Ye Ting ran out of the house and saw the dog tail grass that had just been planted in front of Ye Han, "Hehe" laughed: "Second brother, why did you plant dog tail grass? This kind of weed can't be pulled up!"

  Ye Han was worried that when he wasn't at home, the people in his house would mistake these few "Ling Huo Cao" for weeds and pull them out. He said seriously: "Xiao Ting, remember this thing is something I had a hard time finding, you guys mustn't pull it out. Whether our family can live a good life in the future mostly depends on it!"

  Jian Ye Ting looked bewildered, rubbed her little head and smiled: "Don't ask why, you'll know later. Anyway, just remember my words!"

  The two returned to the house, brought out the dishes their parents had prepared and ate together. Meanwhile, Ye Han reminded his older brother Ye Shan not to touch those few "Ling Huo Cao" (Spirit Fox Grass), Ye Shan saw that he was serious, so he nodded in agreement, but couldn't understand what this younger brother was up to, growing those few stalks of dog tail grass for.

  The next day, after breakfast, Ye Zhuang rode his family's bicycle to find Ye Han. The two of them followed the road out of town and headed west. Half an hour later, they arrived at a vast wilderness near the mountainous area outside the city.

  After parking his bicycle, Ye Zhuang pointed ahead and said, "Look, this is the dog tail grass you wanted, as much as you want!"

  Ye Han gazed out, seeing vast expanses of "Linghucao" stretching from his feet to the distant mountain edge. A gentle breeze blew, and the grass waves undulated, forming a magnificent sight. He stared, dumbfounded, muttering: "I... I rely on it, so much?"

  Ye Zhuang disagreed and said: "This is just one place, there are many other places. No matter what you want to do, it's enough, right?"

  Ye Han nodded, involuntarily sighing, never expecting that the "Linghuo Grass" which was hard to come by in his past life would be so abundant and worthless in this world. Was this heaven's way of sympathizing with him for failing to overcome his tribulations, a compensation for himself?

  With a large amount of "Linghucao", a batch of "Muling Dan" can be refined. With the help of "Muling Dan", one's own wood pulse should be opened up quickly, and at that time, the source of wood spirit energy in the body will be endless, and the medical skills learned in one's previous life can be fully utilized, dominating the medical world with ease.
