Chapter 529: Chapter 216: The Lingzhi Mushroom of Two to Three Meters (Four More Updates Request for Subscription)_1

Yan Fei’s old uncle doesn’t find it embarrassing at all. This man is the most honest type of farmer who not only avoids roaming around aimlessly, but also isn’t a big talker. Apart from the few words he can utter, he would just grin and trot off to memorize others’ lines!

When Yan Fei, who happened to see this scene, decided to deliver loads of beef, vegetables, eggs, and wine to their home and his grandfather. He gave so much that his grandfather shouted at him: "Don’t you know that it’s a waste of money to make old folks fat? Are you trying to make me eat meat every day to meet Marx sooner?"

Yan Fei just grinned happily — it really saved him a lot of trouble. If his own uncle behaved like this, others would hardly make any unreasonable demands. Those who wanted to raise cattle and had made promises to Lin Baoguo didn’t hesitate and signed the contract without any fuss when they came to get the cows.

With the purchase of cattle, money has been spent, and the amount in hand is getting less and less.

But there’s no rush. After all, one cow could be slaughtered every week and the sale of its meat could be exchanged for several calves. Furthermore, thanks to the cooperative cattle farming, his reputation has grown, and the wine business has improved, so money was never in short supply anymore.

The power of reputation in the countryside works like this — the better your reputation, the bigger your influence. People are willing to trust you. After the reputation of the cattle farm spread, even if it means traveling a longer distance, people came here to buy wine.

Of course, many people have their own little ideas — Seeing Boss Yan doing so well, he would certainly become more prosperous, and the scope of the cooperative cattle farming is bound to grow. He only has a handful of poor relatives, who would he give the cows to after they all have their own? He would have to cooperate with outsiders!

Anyway, they need to drink this wine. Traveling a bit further and buying a few more times to get familiar with him wouldn’t hurt! Even if they can’t meet him, if they become familiar with the other people in the cattle farm, wouldn’t that be helpful for them when more cows are distributed later?

They didn’t believe that he would rather give the cows to strangers than to his "acquaintances".

Also, buying bottled wine with the money they have, the chances of getting fake ones are pretty high, which is not economical. At least they can trust the wine from Boss Yan’s place!

As social trends go, when everyone is buying bottled wine and if a family buys loose wine, they’d lose face. However, if the source of this loose wine has a backstory, it wouldn’t embarrass them — everyone knows it’s from the cattle farm, and by buying wine they might get a chance to raise cattle.

That would simply mean that the host knows how to seize the opportunity!

Some people even emphatically said that they’d heard the local leaders frequently visit the cattle farm and drink this wine — Yan Fei suspected that Heizi, who looked after cattle breeding every day, had spread this rumor. Only he could’ve spread the word so quickly amidst the people who came for cattle breeding.

Of course, to get the gossip spreading so quickly, Lin Yumei who was selling the wine must have had her share in it too, but she definitely wouldn’t be the one to initiate this.

Such gossip always spread quickly, especially amongst those who buy wine — Adding a ’special supply’ sign to anything would make it more popular. The wine that local leaders also drink and that the commoners can buy, tasted exceptionally mellow in their mouths.

Just as there are blind followers when it comes to stealing oil, they exist in the world of drinking as well. As the days passed, the sales of this wine unexpectedly began to multiply. It was quite surprising.

Time always flies when you’re busy, and in the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.

At night, as usual, Yan Fei was cleaning the valley.

The half month of work was certainly not in vain — by now, the female spined dragon had completely driven away the other dinosaurs, and there was no creature in the valley larger than a hen. Of course, smaller creatures were not frightened of the spined dragon — they survived by perfecting their hiding skills.

However, these small creatures soon found that even caves were not safe anymore. The rocks in the valley had been piled up by Yan Fei around the valley like a city wall which left the trees untouched for the time being. They might still be of use for whatever he was planning to plant next.

Consequently, the small creatures had no choice but to complain about this guy who was ruining their habitat and then nervously flee the valley.

Yan Fei couldn’t care less about them, as tomorrow was another slaughter day. After working a little bit more, he would rest and get ready to send the slaughtered cattle to the provincial city and, of course, meet his wife.

Sitting in the greenhouse, the vegetables here were practically spent — "spent" is a local term referring to the vegetables that have basically stopped bearing fruit.

So Yan Fei didn’t need to worry about these vegetables anymore. Huge stones appeared and disappeared next to him, sometimes two or three at once. This wasn’t work for Yan Fei anymore; it felt more like a game. He was trying to conjure up more stones at once.

A sudden huge stone was almost big enough to break the greenhouse. Yan Fei was startled. It was late at night no one else would see, so he ran outside the greenhouse to continue.

"Huh?"

It was totally a bad start!

While in the greenhouse, everything went well, but just as he stepped out, the first stone wouldn’t budge!

Maybe it’s buried too deep in the soil?

Yan Fei stood up a bit annoyed, instantly appearing next to the stone that he couldn’t move. He exerted his strength in an attempt to lift it with both hands.

From the moment he touched the stone, he sensed something wasn’t right, but he had already committed his strength, and it was already too late to retract it.

So, he almost met with a tragic end!

The stone’s shape was somewhat strange, resembling a large umbrella. There was a diameter of about two to three meters of stone on top, while a column supported it from below. As soon as Yan Fei arrived, he instinctively held the column below and with a mighty heave, tried to lift it.

Though he was confident in his strength, having recently gained the ability to transform into a Female Spined Dragon, he was not blindly overconfident enough to believe that he could lift this large stone — after all, he couldn’t even budge it from the outside using his psychic abilities. He couldn’t predict how deep the stone pillar underneath the stone was rooted!

Unfortunately, his judgement was wrong!

As he attempted to lift the ’stone,’ the column beneath disconnected instantly from the ground, covering him with dirt and soil. The whole umbrella-shaped ’stone’ soared swiftly into the star-strewn sky, leaving only a small black dot in an instant.

This wasn’t a stone. If it had been, considering its size, it should weigh at least a couple of tons. But the sensation that Yan Fei got was that it was as light as a feather. He applied such excessive force that he didn’t even feel the weight of the ’umbrella stone.’

As the umbrella flew into the sky, he stumbled backward. Luckily, being a monster, he was unharmed. Had it been an ordinary person, that person would have certainly hurt their back.

With a disheartened look on his upwardly tilted face, Yan Fei wondered, "What on earth could this thing be?"

As he watched the falling umbrella, he found the shape of the object somewhat familiar. It seemed similar to something from the legends, didn’t it?

Yes, it somewhat resembled a Lingzhi mushroom.

It’s considered legendary because a Lingzhi mushroom is rarely seen near Sancha River. Therefore, even if people see one, they might not be certain that it’s a Lingzhi mushroom.

But now, Yan Fei could be sure about what he saw — it was absolutely not a Lingzhi mushroom. There was no such thing as a mushroom of this colossal size!

He had never seen or even heard about anything like this before.

In the legend of the White Snake, the White Snake steals Immortal Grass, which refers to the Lingzhi mushroom. But if the Lingzhi mushroom is this big, then the description would have been: "Bai Suzhen rolls up her sleeves, steps forward to lift the Immortal Grass..." or "carry the Immortal Grass . . ."

Just the thought of this would be ridiculous. Presenting it that way would make the immortal and demon aura disappear!

While contemplating, the ’umbrella’ finally landed. To avoid damaging it if it turned out to be a valuable item, Yan Fei caught it before it hit the ground.

Looking at it closely, if this umbrella-like object was shrunk by a hundred times, it would indeed look exactly like a Lingzhi mushroom as seen on TV!

Touching it, it felt somewhat wooden, but it was as light as a feather. This enormous piece was only about fifty pounds — and also Yan Fei could catch it while it was falling, which implied that this thing was truly very similar to a Lingzhi mushroom. Due to its large size, the speed at which it fell was not fast at all.

He then decided to bring it to the cave on Vegetable Garden Island for further examination. He lit a circle of candles around it and began to study the strange purplish-red object. Staring at it, Yan Fei didn’t know what to say!

You resemble a Lingzhi mushroom, and even your color matches?

Is there such a big Lingzhi mushroom?

No, I need to go ask Old Master He tomorrow. He’s a Traditional Chinese Medicine Doctor, so he’ll know for sure. If not, I can go to the Provincial City the day after tomorrow and ask Old He. Oh, right—I promised to visit him or call Wang Jiuming. How could I have forgotten about that?

And what if this turns out to be real? Then I’ve hit the jackpot!

Immortal Grass! It is the fabled Immortal Grass that can . . .

Hold on, I don’t even know what the Immortal Grass can do yet!
