But this time's luck was obviously not as good as last time. After some searching, Luo Qiong did not see any trace of Ganoderma lucidum.

So I could only get up and go to the next place, but my luck seemed to have run out after encountering the first Ganoderma lucidum.

I walked to several places without getting any results.

"Forget it, maybe I'm too greedy!"

Luo Qiong looked at the fallen leaves that were turned up in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and looked up at the sun, which was already almost overhead.

My parents don't go home for lunch, usually around two o'clock. It's almost 12 o'clock now. If I can't go back before my parents get home, my private trip to the mountains will be discovered.

There will definitely be some scolding when the time comes.

"Go to the last place."

Luo Qiong glanced at the direction and continued climbing towards the mountain.

There is a very steep cliff halfway up the back mountain. The cliff is about ten meters high. There is a crack in the middle that extends to the top. When Luo Qiong was a child, he climbed to the top of the cliff through this crack.

There is a wild plum tree there.

There are many such wild plum trees in the Qinling Mountains, but because of the wild varieties, these plums taste bitter, so the locals call them "bitter plums."

But the one on the top of the cliff is an exception. Most of the plum trees in the mountain forest have yellow fruits when they mature, but the fruit on the cliff turns red when they mature.

It looks very tempting. The most important thing is that the fruit on this tree not only does not have that bitter taste, but is also very sweet, even more delicious than what you can buy in the fruit shop.

In order to eat those fruits, Luo Qiong once climbed from a crack to the top of a cliff to pick fruits without protection.

It was during that climb that he saw what seemed to be a Ganoderma lucidum on the cliff.

It's just that after so many years, he doesn't know if it's still there, so he's trying his luck this time.

Walking to the bottom of the cliff, Luo Qiong first looked up at the plum tree on the top of the cliff. However, it was still early spring and the plum tree had not sprouted, let alone bore fruit.

Although he already knew the result, Luo Qiong was still a little disappointed.

"Forget it, business is more important."

Luo Qiong walked to the crack. Although he had not been there for several years, the crack remained the same as before.

Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and my courage has become smaller.

Luo Qiong looked at the crack, which was only a dozen centimeters wide, and felt a little scared.

"Damn, you were such a gangster when you were a kid, you dared to crawl like this!"

Luo Qiong not only cursed several times in his heart, but he, a level 29 master who had traveled from another world, was a little scared when he looked at the cliff. This kid dared to climb it with bare hands a few years ago.

After observing along the crack for a while again, Luo Qiong didn't see the Ganoderma lucidum. It wasn't that it wasn't there. It was just that the location was blocked by a raised rock.

"Hey! It looks like we really need to climb again."

Luo Qiong looked around and finally saw a vine on a tree that was winding around the trunk and winding upward. This kind of vine is called kudzu in the local area.

Generally, when going up the mountain to cut firewood, this kind of vine is used to tie firewood, which is strong and durable.

Luo Qiong took out the sickle on his waist and cut off the vine from the root, then went around the tree to remove the vine wrapped around the tree, and then removed the branches and leaves from the vine.

A five or six meter rock climbing rope is ready.

After doing this, Luo Qiong once again used the sickle to cut off a small branch of an arm's thickness, tied it tightly with one end of the vine, and then pulled it hard. It felt very strong.

Luo Qiong coiled the vine into a roll and came to the bottom of the cliff. After looking at the height of the cliff, Luo Qiong put the vine underground, took a stick at one end, aimed at the crack on the cliff, and threw it upwards.

Because of his background as a charioteer, Luo Qiong's control ability was very good. After the stick left his hand, he flew towards the gap in the middle of the cliff with the vines on it.

"Click"

The wooden pipe was firmly stuck in the crack. Luo Qiong grabbed the vine and pulled hard a few times. He felt that the vine and the wooden stick were already stressed and should have no problem bearing their own weight.

Putting the sickle on his waist again and putting down the backpack, Luo Qiong grabbed the vines with both hands, stepped on the bumps on the edge of the crack, and climbed up with the help of his strength.

Although the cliff is nearly ten meters high, the location of Ganoderma lucidum in Luo Qiong's memory is four or five meters above the cliff, and the vines can just reach it.

A few years ago, Luo Qiong was able to climb a cliff without protection, not to mention that he was now 18 years old and had been exercising for several years.

It only took five or six minutes for Luo Qiong to crawl to the place where the stick was stuck.

"I hope my hard work wasn't in vain."

As he spoke, he looked at the raised rock on the right side of his body.

When his eyes moved to the location of Ganoderma lucidum in his memory, Luo Qiong's breathing suddenly stopped.

"Good guy, he's so big?"

I saw a red Ganoderma lucidum the size of a pot lid on the edge of this steep cliff.

The red umbrella cover may have turned black and red because it has grown over time, and the huge and thick roots are as thick as an arm.

After Luo Qiong was surprised for a while, he immediately grabbed some branches growing on the cliff and moved to the raised stone.

Only when he got closer did he really feel the hugeness of this Ganoderma lucidum. Compared with this one, the one he collected earlier was simply the grandson of Ganoderma lucidum.

Luo Qiong carefully cleaned up the weeds on the edge of the Ganoderma lucidum, and then stretched out his hand to the root of the Ganoderma lucidum. The tentacle was a soft piece, not a hard stone. Luo Qiong used a little force with both hands.

"Click"

He broke off the huge Ganoderma lucidum, and after actually holding it in his hands, the Ganoderma lucidum was as big as an umbrella.

Luo Qiong carefully observed the umbrella cover of the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand.

"Good guy, didn't it say that the growth cycle of Ganoderma lucidum is only one year? Can it grow so big in one year?"

"One floor, two floors, three floors..."

There are actually five layers. The outer edge of the Ganoderma lucidum is obviously divided into five colors. The inner part is almost black, but the outer ring is still bright red. It is obvious that it does not grow in one layer.

From this color, you can tell that the Ganoderma lucidum has survived for at least 5 years.

"This is really a treasure!"

Don’t look at the thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that are always available online or on TV. Those are just nonsense.

Luo Qiong repeatedly looked at the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand. Under normal circumstances, Ganoderma lucidum begins to grow in spring. After the spores are sprayed in autumn, they will rot on their own if they are eaten by insects. It is difficult for any of them to survive for more than a year.

Due to the special climate environment in the Qinling Mountains, large areas of Ganoderma lucidum usually mature in autumn, but due to the complex climate, there are still some remaining even in early spring.

But even so, it is difficult for ordinary Ganoderma lucidum to survive for more than a year.

Luo Qiong carefully observed the surroundings. This place is located in the middle of the cliff. Apart from rocks, there are some sparse trees around. There is a rotten stump at the root of Ganoderma lucidum, and the surrounding soil is very dry.

Moreover, the location where the tree roots are located is sunken inward, so rainwater cannot get through it normally.

This may be the reason why this Ganoderma can grow for five years.

This place is far away from the ground and is surrounded by bare rocks. Snakes, insects, rats and ants generally do not come here, which avoids being eaten by insects.

Coupled with the dryness and ventilation here, the rot of Ganoderma lucidum is mainly caused by the humid climate. Only the rotten stumps at the roots retain this part of the water, and even rain from outside rarely reaches it. This environment avoids the rot of Ganoderma lucidum.
