Chapter 259: Not a Single Stalk

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Deputy General Sun nodded and stopped talking. He continued searching for Moon Whisper grass.

Many soldiers had contracted the disease in the military camp. He had to gather a lot of Moon Whisper Grass. If he had known, he would have brought a few more soldiers with them.

…

“Zhu Xin, what are you looking for?”

On the other side, Shen Zhuxin brought a few of her peers into the forest too.

However, there was not a single Moon Whisper Grass in sight. Instead, there were many small holes made in the ground. It was obvious that someone had dug away the medicinal herbs.

“Brother Qi, we’re too late. The Moon Whisper Grass here has been dug up,” she said helplessly.

She gathered medicinal herbs here frequently and used to see many Moon Whisper Grass in this area.

She never picked them because she did not have much use for them in her usual prescriptions, but she did not expect an early bird to snatch them away when she needed them most.

“As expected!”

Qi Ye was Qi Gu’s son. He knew what had happened when he saw Shen Zhuxin staring at the small holes in the ground.

Now that Shen Zhuxin had confirmed it herself, he could only take a deep breath. They were too late. Someone else had obtained the herbs first—there was nothing he could do about that.

They had to pick the herbs elsewhere. Looking at the bumpy ground, it seemed like the Moon Whisper Grass grew commonly.

“Zhu Xin, where else can we find the Moon Whisper Grass?”

“We can’t.” Shen Zhuxin sighed softly and shook her head.

If the Moon Whisper Grass really grew commonly, she would not have to walk so much just to dig for them here.

The Moon Whisper Grass also grew in other places, but there were very few. This was the only place where there was a lot of Moon Whisper Grass.

There were so many people in the 18 Stockaded Villages that she had to stock up on more of the Moon Whisper Grass in the face of the raging epidemic.

She had planned it all but did not expect someone to dig up all the Moon Whisper Grass here before her.

“I wonder who dug up the Moon Whisper Grass! Some of them are old, and some are young. But they dug up all of them, and not a single stalk is left now!”

Even if the one who dug up all the herbs is a pharmacist, they shouldn’t be doing it like this! They should at least leave some seeds here, right?

However, she did not know that An Jiuyue could plant the herbs in her microcosmic space. The Moon Whisper Grass could grow even better there.

“Sigh.” She pondered for a long time before finally looking up at Qi Ye and the others.

“Brother Qi, I also know of a medicinal herb that grows by the hot spring. It’s called the Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue Flower and should be able to alleviate the disease severity. There’s a hot spring nearby. Let’s hurry over and take a look.”

She was worried there would not even be any Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue Flower left if they arrived late.

The holes in the ground are clearly new. The people digging for the herbs may still be in the mountains. They may be here for the Bipetalous Scarlet-blue flower too! We must go quickly!

“Alright, let’s rush there now,” Qi Ye replied, and the group rushed towards the hot spring.

However, when they arrived at the first hot spring, there were only holes in the ground around them. There was not even a single Bipetalous Scarlet-Blue Flower.
