Chen Guan listened to Zhu Hongzhi recount a story about an incident their Black Tiger Corps encountered at a place called Old Ginseng Mountain, a location that had only recently been explored.
Many ancient ginseng roots were discovered among the nearby mountain ranges, which are treasures no less significant than stone lingzhi mushrooms.
Because that Secret Realm was a public one, many factions rushed in upon hearing the news, all digging for ancient ginseng in those mountains.
As more people dug, it became difficult to find ginseng on the outskirts. Even if they did find some, they had to fight others for it. So, the Black Tiger Corps' temporary team ventured deep into the mountains, hoping to find more ginseng there.
At that time, Zhu Hongzhi was an ordinary member of the temporary team, having just enlisted, and he was about the same age as Chen Guan was now, not much older.
