Chapter 116 Long Aotian: The System is Furious!
“It doesn’t just look like it, this is the white sandalwood tree!” Yang Fenglan affirmed.
When she was a child, she saw the old people in the village cut down the white sandalwood tree and get a small piece of agarwood from it.
Not long after, the old man built a two-story house.
I was young then and didn't understand; I had only heard the villagers mention the word "agarwood."
"This type of tree is the easiest to produce agarwood!"
"Ah? Agarwood?" Xu Yingying asked cooperatively.
Yang Fenglan then took the opportunity to explain how agarwood is formed, attributing the information to her grandfather on her maternal side.
Since Grandpa is dead, she can justify whatever she says.
"Quick, help me find any wounds on this tree. If it really bears agarwood, then we'll be rich!" Yang Fenglan said excitedly.
"Is there really such a precious thing?" Xu Yingying circled the tree and examined it carefully.
Long Aotian's eyes widened: This is impossible!
This woman is just an illiterate bumpkin; how could she possibly know about something as high-end as agarwood!
However, there was absolutely nothing wrong with what she just said.
Long Aotian panicked.
Don't waste your time; there's no agarwood here at all.
Its tone when speaking to Yang Fenglan was always arrogant, but this sentence revealed a hint of unease.
Yang Fenglan successfully found a wound on the tree and smiled slightly, "I'll find out if I dig it up."
There's really no agarwood here, and it's worthless. You'd be better off digging for *Dipsacus asper* (a type of medicinal herb). Come on, I'll take you to find some.
[If you don't like the herb *Dipsacus asper*, dendrobium and orchids are also quite valuable.]
Yang Fenglan glanced at Xu Yingying triumphantly: It's getting anxious, it's getting anxious.
That proves that even if the agarwood isn't on this tree, it's somewhere nearby.
"It's not about whether it's valuable or not. I just want to know how agarwood is formed. Why can't we just cut down the Aquilaria sinensis tree and sell it directly? Why do we have to wait for it to form a new piece of 'wood'?"
Yang Fenglan refused to listen to advice and picked up a sharp knife to start digging into the tree trunk.
Today, she brought an extra sharp knife that Zhou Jingyi used to process prey, just so she could easily pry open tree holes.
The wound wasn't large, but it was deep enough, somewhat resembling the mark left by an arrow.
Yang Fenglan got tired of digging, so Xu Yingying took over.
The two dared not rest, fearing that Shen Yu might come and they would run into each other, which would be awkward.
After a great deal of effort, we finally managed to dig out that hard thing from the middle of the tree trunk!
It has a smooth texture and a pleasant aroma.
Yang Fenglan was overjoyed. "This must be the legendary agarwood, right? I never thought we'd actually run into it. Yingying, you're truly a lucky one."
Xu Yingying: "It's a good thing you know these things. We came here today to find wild vegetables, who would have thought we'd have such a harvest!"
The two sisters flattered each other.
Long Aotian was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth to dust. This was a treasure he had found for his beautiful master!
This isn't agarwood. Agarwood is so expensive; it's not something you can get easily.
"Oh?" Yang Fenglan raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you just say that agarwood is worthless?"
【This, this, this…】
"A treasure-hunting system? They don't even recognize agarwood, tsk tsk tsk..."
【…】
Angry.
I'm so angry!
Long Aotian rolled his eyes and crawled into Yang Fenglan's bracelet.
Xu Yingying smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Oh, so you've learned to be shy now?"
"Alright, alright," Yang Fenglan stopped her best friend's mocking behavior. If pushed too far, she might just do something drastic.
The important thing now is to get down the mountain.
Hurry up and exchange the ginseng, lingzhi, and this piece of agarwood for silver.
