A New Version of Shennong Tasting the Hundred Herbs?
They naturally heard everything Ye Xuan said.
They arrived quickly, and the ministers set up more than a dozen bonfires.
Gathering in small groups of three or five, or in larger groups of a dozen or so, chatting about government affairs around a campfire is certainly a pleasant pastime.
On the other side, a group of generals surrounded Huang Feihu and Zheng Lun, demanding that they recount the situation in Jizhou.
The two men showed off with great enthusiasm, eliciting gasps of amazement from the others, who were eager to rush into battle and achieve great deeds.
Ye Xuan leaned quietly against a tree, holding a ginseng root the size of a radish, which he was gnawing on haphazardly as if it were a radish.
He had tricked many super spiritual roots out of the Jade Void Palace; why not take advantage of them?
These spiritual roots all possess unpredictable divine power; each one he consumes brings him astonishing benefits.
Although it's a bit of a waste, we must seize the opportunity to do everything we can to improve our strength.
Otherwise, if the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods were to begin in the future, and if this Human Emperor did not have sufficient power to protect himself, he would likely suffer a terrible death.
After consuming a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual root, the energy within the body reached an unprecedented level of abundance.
Ye Xuan quickly entered a deep state of cultivation.
Wushuang and Su Daji stood guard on either side of Ye Xuan.
The two looked at each other, each wanting to say something, but ultimately couldn't bring themselves to speak.
Both of them were the Human Emperor's women, so they actually knew each other quite well.
Sometimes it's better not to say anything than to say something.
The two of them then turned their gazes to Ye Xuan, their eyes shining brightly.
He then closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.
Both of them received many gifts from Ye Xuan.
I've consumed quite a few super spiritual roots during this period, so I must hurry up and cultivate.
It quickly quieted down.
Seeing that His Human Emperor was resting, the many ministers who had been chatting gradually quieted down.
Under the starry sky, atop the mountain, a hundred civil and military officials gathered together.
Surprisingly, it possessed a unique tranquility.
It was already the morning of the second day.
The sun rises in the east, presenting a vibrant and energetic scene.
Many ministers also awoke from their sleep.
Servants had already prepared the meal and were waiting for us.
But no one wanted to eat; instead, they stared longingly at the Human Emperor.
Ye Xuan seemed to sense everyone's gazes and slowly turned to wake up.
Don't you eat?
"If you have no appetite, why don't you come with me?"
Ye Xuan smiled slightly. These old fogies were actually more impatient than he was.
It seems that yesterday really piqued their curiosity.
With the help of Wushuang and Daji, the task was quickly completed.
Today he's going to take these old guys to see the mysterious treasures growing on that other mountain.
Taking the lead, they crossed the mountain and arrived at the other side of the mountain.
They saw a patch of low, strange plants growing there, and as they approached, an extremely peculiar odor filled their nostrils.
The strange smell seemed to be somewhat sweet, yet also somewhat bitter, leaving one unable to describe it clearly.
Upon arriving here, the group quickly came to a stop.
Thousands of the Human Clan warriors also guard this place.
It's the same area as the one before, which is enough to show how much importance Ye Xuan attaches to this place.
The plants here looked like shrubs, but they weren't quite the same; they were about half a person's height and looked very similar to ordinary weeds and shrubs.
Upon seeing these items, everyone was immediately puzzled.
Compared to the grains in front, this patch of vegetation looked more like weeds.
"Your Human Emperor, are these things that look like weeds also treasures?"
Wang Bi Gan couldn't help but ask.
After all, there's nothing particularly strange or unusual about this place; from a distance, it just looks like a patch of shrubs.
Upon hearing Bi Gan's question, Ye Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly.
"You wouldn't understand, would you? This is a magical treasure."
"This stuff is called ephedra. It's extremely easy to grow and can survive even in the most basic environments."
"It only needs two hours of sunlight a day to grow well, and it doesn't require much water, which is quite amazing. If you use this stuff more often, it can promote diuresis and reduce swelling, induce sweating to relieve exterior symptoms, and clear the lungs and relieve asthma."
"It is an extremely miraculous herb, especially effective for the elderly."
Upon hearing His Human Emperor the Emperor's words, everyone exchanged bewildered glances.
What does that mean?
To put it simply, this stuff can cure coughs.
Everyone has a cough, and once it starts, it can last for up to six months, and there's no good solution for it in this day and age.
But is this stuff actually effective at treating coughs?
If that's truly the case, it must be an incredibly miraculous spiritual root.
I never imagined that such a large area would be planted here. If people all over the world could really plant it, it would be an achievement that would last for generations.
"Look at you old folks, all of you acting like you're making a fuss over nothing."
"To tell you the truth, the real show is yet to come."
He rolled his eyes as he spoke, then led the group of old guys toward an area below.
The plants in the area below appear to be shorter, but they are surprisingly attractive. They have a pale green stem, about the length of a finger, but with symmetrical green leaves and tiny brown spots, making them quite beautiful.
These leaves vary in age and size. The older leaves are mostly brown, while the newer leaves are a purer green with a brownish tinge, appearing translucent.
As soon as they arrived in this area, they were greeted by a faint, refreshing fragrance that gave them a cool and pleasant feeling, which immediately gave them a jolt.
It's quite surprising to see such small things exuding such an incredible aura.
Could it be that the things here are also some kind of magical herbal root?
Many people were deeply moved at that moment.
The things in front of us are really unremarkable, but they can emit such a smell, so they must be something unusual.
All eyes were fixed on the Human Emperor, awaiting his explanation.
Seeing the looks in the eyes of the civil and military officials, Ye Xuan decided not to keep them in suspense any longer.
"This thing is actually quite amazing; its name is mint."
"It possesses the remarkable effects of nourishing the liver and lung meridians, dispersing wind-heat, clearing the head and eyes, benefiting the throat, and reducing internal heat."
Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. Could this little mint really have such magical effects? To put it simply, it can refresh the mind and improve eyesight.
For some people who feel dizzy and lightheaded, this peppermint can also be effective; it is actually a remarkable remedy specifically for treating internal heat.
It's truly fascinating; how can such a tiny plant possess such amazing effects?
At this moment, they couldn't help but think of Earthly Sovereign Shennong, one of the Three Sovereigns of the Human Clan.
At that time, various plagues ravaged the Human Clan, causing countless deaths and injuries.
Left with no other choice, Shennong, the Earthly Sovereign Shennong, traveled far into the Shennong Primordial World. He tasted hundreds of herbs, bringing many miraculous medicinal plants to the Human Clan.
Now, His Human Emperor has ordered Shang Rong to travel to the Primordial World, bringing not only a large amount of food to the Human Clan, but also many Shennong herbs that even Human Clan had never discovered. This is truly a godsend!
It must be said that His Human Emperor the Emperor is indeed very insightful; they simply cannot imagine what there is that His Human Emperor does not know.
Having such Human Emperor is an absolute blessing for their Human Clan.
Ye Xuan led the group quickly to the next area, where they found that the plants there were also extremely magical species, about half a person's height, and their leaves looked very similar to feathers.
The underside of the leaves has some white spots and white fuzz, which looks a bit strange.
This thing is quite different from the previous two plants. It looks more like ordinary weeds and shrubs. If you don't look closely, you might really think it's a weed.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly.
"This thing is actually quite amazing; its name is mugwort."
"This mugwort also has a special fragrance. If you make a pillow out of mugwort leaves and put it under your head, it will help to calm your nerves and relieve fatigue."
"If you Cheng Tang and use it for bathing, it can eliminate red spots and acne on the body, and it also has a great therapeutic effect on knife and gun wounds."
