Chapter 520: I'm Just Here for the Fun, What If I Get Lucky?

"When it comes to Ginseng, the world looks to Huaxia, and Huaxia looks to the Northeast."

"Huaxia is known as the hometown of Ginseng and is the most famous Ginseng-producing region in the world."

"And the most famous in Huaxia is Changbai Mountain Ginseng. The quality is authentic and superior, and the yield is massive."

Ning Fei strolled through the mountain forest, speaking in a very relaxed tone.

"Changbai Mountain is also a treasured land of feng shui, home to many wild animals."

"For instance, Siberian tigers, leopards, sika deer, sables, and so on."

As Ning Fei shared this trivia with the netizens, the atmosphere in the live stream was incredibly laid-back.

Just then, Little falcon suddenly let out a warning cry.

The sound was urgent, and Ning Fei immediately looked up.

The drone followed his line of sight, tilting its camera upward to capture the sky.

Then, the netizens were suddenly startled.

Fuck! What a huge bird!

In the sky, a massive bird descended from above, diving straight toward Ning Fei.

The bird's extended wings were nearly two meters wide, blotting out the sky and covering the sun. It looked absolutely terrifying!

"It's a golden eagle!"

"Is it going to attack Little Dog?"

Seeing Little Dog chasing butterflies without a care in the world just ahead, Ning Fei instantly reacted.

"Phoenix jade pendant, Hundred Birds Facing the Phoenix!"

He immediately activated the skill of the Phoenix jade pendant at his waist.

In an instant, the situation changed abruptly.

The golden eagle suddenly halted its attack, flapping its wings and circling in the sky instead.

Seeing many birds in the surrounding trees suddenly take flight, Ning Fei quickly deactivated the skill.

It all happened so fast that the netizens hadn't even had time to react.

While everyone was still in shock, the golden eagle actually flew straight down and landed right in front of Ning Fei.

Only then did the viewers clearly see just how enormous this golden eagle was.

Standing up, it was 1.2 meters tall—nearly taller than a small child. Its wingspan was around 2.3 meters, and when it spread its wings, blotting out the sky and covering the sun, it looked incredibly imposing.

Moreover, the eagle was extremely handsome and majestic, easily drawing everyone's gaze.

Although Little falcon was also impressive, its size still fell somewhat short compared to the golden eagle.

Fuck! What a handsome eagle!

Is this a first-class protected animal, the golden eagle? My god, they are extremely rare. Even seeing one just once isn't easy.

It's so big, I love it!

Damn, a bird can grow this big? It wouldn't even have a problem carrying off a small child.

The bullet screen was filled with discussion, clearly shocked by this sudden, uninvited guest.

Seeing the golden eagle in front of them, Bai Yi felt a little scared, and the little animals appeared even more nervous.

Ning Fei was much calmer. He looked at the golden eagle, a hint of delight in his eyes.

A large bird of prey like this naturally possessed a noble bloodline, and therefore had Spiritual Energy, making it much easier to attract with Ning Fei's Phoenix jade pendant.

"The golden eagle is one of the largest birds in the world. As a large raptor, it's incredibly powerful. It can hunt wild wolves and boars, placing it at the absolute top of the food chain."

"But looking at it now, it seems to have a good impression of me."

Ning Fei remarked.

Then, he took a step forward, reached out his hand, and actually stroked the golden eagle directly.

This scene completely dumbfounded the netizens.

Such a domineering golden eagle came all the way down just to beg for pets?

This bird isn't very proper.

Good heavens, he just arrived at Changbai Mountain and a golden eagle is already here to welcome him?

Do you think it's possible the golden eagle sensed the aura around Temple Master Ning and wants to be adopted?

Begging for adoption is unlikely, but it might be here to worship an immortal.

You mean a golden eagle that's about to become a demon is coming to pay homage to a god?

The viewers chatted enthusiastically.

Mainly because the sight was simply too bizarre.

That golden eagle was so massive.

Yet it flew right up to Ning Fei for no apparent reason, entirely willing to let him pet it.

At that moment, the golden eagle took another look at Ning Fei, abruptly spread its wings, and soared back into the sky, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It was a bird of prey, after all; it always belonged in the sky.

Seeing this, Ning Fei said, "Changbai Mountain is a treasured land of feng shui indeed. Just like the Qinshan Mountain range, it's a mountain range brimming with Spiritual Energy, featuring beautiful scenery and a wide variety of species."

"To think I'd see a golden eagle right after entering the mountains."

"My luck is pretty good."

Ning Fei said leisurely.

Though the mountain path was tough to navigate, the two of them had great stamina.

"Look, there's a wild Ginseng plant here."

Ning Fei suddenly spoke up.

As soon as he spoke, the netizens' attention was immediately drawn over.

What good treasure did Temple Master Ning find this time?

I'm already looking forward to it.

Don't ask. If you ask, the answer is just good luck.

"This is just an ordinary wild Ginseng. It looks to be about two years old."

"You can find this kind of wild Ginseng all over Changbai Mountain, but searching for it is quite a hassle. You need an experienced hand leading the way to find them."

Ning Fei explained.

However, he didn't dig up this wild Ginseng.

A two-year-old wild Ginseng only had a market value of a few hundred yuan, and its medicinal value wasn't very high to him. Moreover, low-age wild Ginseng lacked Spiritual Energy, so Ning Fei had no need for it.

So it's just ordinary wild Ginseng.

The mountain villagers of Changbai Mountain have been digging for wild Ginseng here for generations, and there are professional Ginseng-harvesting teams every year. There basically aren't any Ginseng plants over a century old left anymore.

Exactly. With Ginseng being harvested every year, how could there be so many high-quality wild Ginseng plants?

Seeing this, the netizens commented one after another.

Ning Fei simply continued walking forward.

He knew the place in Changbai Mountain with the most abundant Spiritual Energy would be the spot most likely to have premium Ginseng.

"There are many wild beasts on Changbai Mountain, so we must be a bit careful."

"For example, the Siberian tiger is extremely ferocious. An ordinary person wouldn't even have time to run if they saw one."

"When Ginseng-gathering teams enter the mountains, they practice a custom called 'yashan,' where all the members stand together and shout in unison to frighten away the wild beasts."

"Of course, I'm actually hoping to run into a Siberian tiger."

"Petting a big guy like that would definitely feel great."

Ning Fei said while observing his surroundings.

Following behind him, Bai Yi also seemed much more relaxed.

The combination of a handsome Daoist priest and a youthful young girl, along with the adorable little animals, made for a very pleasing sight.

Temple Master Ning is totally humble-bragging!

Haha, I'm actually really looking forward to Temple Master Ning petting a Siberian tiger.

Even though Siberian tigers are terrifying, I think Temple Master Ning is even more incredible.

After seeing so many famous scenes, I feel like Temple Master Ning is invincible.

A short while later, Temple Master Ning finally arrived at the place in Changbai Mountain where the Spiritual Energy was most abundant.

It was a shaded Canyon, incredibly deep, flanked by high mountains and steep ridges on both sides.

At this very moment, members of two Ginseng-gathering teams were already inside the Canyon harvesting Ginseng.

"Shaded, with good air circulation, as well as excellent soil and water sources—this is a treasured land for Ginseng growth."

"It seems these gathering teams understand Changbai Mountain very well. The person leading them must be an expert."

Seeing the busy figures of the mountain villagers before him, Ning Fei sighed in admiration.

The netizens also watched intently.

In the Canyon, many people had their heads bowed, holding stick-like tools to brush aside the weeds as they earnestly searched for something.

This kind of Ginseng-gathering scene was quite fascinating to witness.

Temple Master Ning, with so many people harvesting Ginseng, will you be able to find any?

A netizen asked.

Ning Fei used his Treasure Seeking Technique, glanced at the map marker on his mobile phone, and replied with a smile, "I'm just here for the fun."

"What if I get lucky?"

Seeing his carefree and contented expression, many longtime fans understood:

Temple Master Ning was probably about to make another huge discovery.
