After confirming that the plant in front of them was indeed the thousand-year-old ginseng, Qi Yun exchanged a glance with Chen Wei, who then carefully inspected the surroundings again, but the results were the same as before, with no obvious traces.
The only suspicious aspect was that the soil around the ginseng was very loose, as if a hole had been freshly dug and the plant placed inside.
Qi Yun voiced his doubts to Old Zhao, who pondered for a while before finally giving a very reluctant explanation.
"When the ginseng spirit relocates, it uses its roots to carve out a passage in the soil like a worm, only more precise, moving along and filling the pit behind it with new soil, fearing it might leave traces for others to see."
"Look at this raised circle; it's formed by the spirit using its roots to gather new soil."
