Chapter 800: Chapter 796: The Nose is Truly Spiritual

"Yes, not selling."

Chen Yang nodded, and noticing the look of disappointment on Wang Qingyue’s face, he quickly added, "But if you need it, I can sell you a little, though the quantity won’t be much."

Wang Qingyue had been feeling quite disappointed, but hearing this, her spirits immediately lifted.

"Really?"

"Of course. Would I lie to you about something like this?" Chen Yang said with a slight smile.

"Great, thank you! How much per piece? I’ll transfer the money to you right now." Wang Qingyue brightened up and even pulled out her phone, ready to pay on the spot.

"We can talk about the money later. For now, help me find some good herbs. If you manage to find some quality ones, I might just give you some for free." Chen Yang said with a laugh.

"Alright!" Upon hearing this, Wang Qingyue became even more enthusiastic.

Though she wasn’t short on money, who doesn’t enjoy receiving something for free?

Seeing her excitement, Chen Yang chuckled and quickly led her into the mountains.

When harvesting herbs, Chen Yang usually collected somewhat valuable ones from the outskirts.

But this time was different. Since he planned to cultivate them, the rarer and more precious, the better. With that in mind, he led Wang Qingyue deeper into the forest.

The deeper areas were densely wooded, with many places lacking paths.

Fortunately, Wang Qingyue wasn’t a fragile type. She could completely handle such environments and accompanied Chen Yang in gathering herbs.

"Wangcai, we’ve reached the area. The rest is up to you."

Seeing that they were in the right spot, Chen Yang crouched down and patted Wangcai’s shoulder, signaling it to get to work.

Wangcai had been thinking about the good stuff Chen Yang mentioned, so it had been excited throughout their journey.

Now, it was its time to shine. It immediately perked up and sniffed the air carefully.

Watching the interaction between Chen Yang and Wangcai, Wang Qingyue’s eyes flashed with confusion.

"Chen Yang, we’re here to gather herbs. Why are you relying on Wangcai? Can it really find good ones?" Wang Qingyue asked, puzzled.

"Yep, Wangcai has a keen nose. With its help, we can save a lot of time." Chen Yang nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, Wang Qingyue’s first instinct was disbelief.

Sure, dogs have good noses, but could they really find precious herbs in the mountains?

Though skeptical, she didn’t voice her doubts.

By this time, Wangcai had already finished sniffing.

It turned its head toward the direction of Chen Yang’s left side and barked twice.

Chen Yang noticed and immediately asked, "Is there good herb over there?"

Woof!

Wangcai barked again, indicating that it was correct.

"Alright, lead the way!" Chen Yang quickly urged.

Hearing the command, Wangcai trotted toward the direction it had indicated.

Chen Yang followed closely behind it.

Watching the seamless communication between the man and the dog, Wang Qingyue’s face was filled with astonishment.

"They’ve known each other for only a couple of days, right? How can they be so in sync already?"

Unbeknownst to Wang Qingyue, Wangcai wasn’t just an ordinary dog, which was why she found it so shocking.

But there wasn’t much time for questions. Seeing that Chen Yang had already gone a distance ahead, she quickly caught up.

The two followed Wangcai for about four to five minutes before arriving at a stone cliff.

Seeing that there was no path forward, Chen Yang looked down at Wangcai and asked, "Where’s the herb?"

Wangcai spun around in place twice, then shook its head and gestured toward the upper part of the cliff with two barks.

It was indicating that it was up there.

Taking in the situation, Chen Yang immediately looked up.

As soon as he raised his gaze, he spotted a vibrant green herb swaying in the breeze, growing on the cliffside.

"Gentian."

Chen Yang instantly recognized the herb. It was indeed a relatively rare and precious one, with a high market value.

Moreover, it was highly medicinal and could be used in the preparation of many elixirs.

"Not bad! You really have some skills!" Chen Yang smiled and complimented Wangcai.

Woof woof!

Hearing the praise, Wangcai grew even more excited, wagging its head and spinning around.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Yang would have told it to behave, but since Wangcai had accomplished something this time, he let it be.

Instead, he turned to Wang Qingyue and said, "Qingyue, wait for me here at the bottom. I’ll climb up and grab that gentian."

Since Wang Qingyue had been following closely behind Chen Yang, she also saw the gentian.

Although she didn’t recognize herbs, she could tell from Chen Yang’s expression that it was a valuable find.

"Alright."

Wang Qingyue nodded, and Chen Yang studied the cliff, identifying several footholds before climbing up.

Carefully, he harvested the gentian.

Usually when gathering herbs, he would simply pull them out since they were meant for immediate use. But this time was different; he dug out the entire plant, including the roots.

"Great. Its quality is excellent—definitely a prized herb." Chen Yang examined it for a moment, then tucked it into his basket. He gave Wangcai a pat on the back, signaling it to continue searching.

Wangcai was diligent. As soon as Chen Yang harvested the gentian, it perked up and began sniffing again.

Within half a minute, Wangcai locked onto another target.

This time, it acted on its own, without needing further promptings, and moved toward its goal.

Seeing this, Chen Yang quickly gestured for Wang Qingyue to follow him.

They walked for another ten minutes under Wangcai’s guidance until they reached a dense bush. With his previous experience, Chen Yang immediately knew that the herb was hiding within the shrubs.

Without hesitation, he dove into the bushes to check. Just as he suspected, there was indeed a valuable herb inside.

Chen Yang was quietly elated, and swiftly gathered the herb impeccably.

...

Before they knew it, the afternoon had passed. Throughout this time, Chen Yang depended on Wangcai to locate good herbs.

Wangcai truly lived up to expectations and did an impressive job.

By the end of the afternoon, it had helped Chen Yang find an entire basket full of high-quality herbs—all of them fairly rare and valuable.

Seeing the basket brimming with precious herbs, Chen Yang felt deeply satisfied.

"Alright, that’s enough for now. Let’s head down the mountain, Wangcai. You’ve earned your reward today—extra dinner tonight!" Chen Yang said with a grin.

Woof woof!

Wangcai barked excitedly twice, then turned around and led the way down the mountain.

All afternoon, Wang Qingyue had been trailing behind Chen Yang and Wangcai. Initially, she had doubts about Wangcai’s abilities.

But after seeing it consistently unearth so many herbs over the course of the afternoon, she was thoroughly convinced of its skills.

"Chen Yang, your Wangcai... its nose is ridiculously sharp. I’m impressed." On their way down the mountain, Wang Qingyue blurted out.

"Haha, I told you it was incredible, but you didn’t believe me." Seeing the astonished expression on Wang Qingyue’s face, Chen Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

He thought to himself that Wangcai had really earned him some respect this time.

The two descended the mountain quickly, starting their return at five and arriving back at the clinic before six.

The sun was still up, and it was a bit too early to prepare dinner.

Instead, Chen Yang decided to plant the collected herbs first and deal with dinner afterward.

Wang Qingyue, knowing that Chen Yang planned to cultivate the herbs, followed him to the courtyard to help.

"Qingyue, grab a hoe. Just dig the holes for me, and I’ll take care of planting the herbs." Chen Yang didn’t hesitate to assign her a task.

"Alright."

Wang Qingyue nodded and took the nearby hoe, quickly starting to dig holes in the soil that Chen Yang had prepped.
