The Herbal Scents of Farm Life-Chapter 2908 - 2909: Would You Do the Same?

Does this relate to the old chieftain keeping the talisman on himself?

"You mentioned that the cave is almost completely dark, and even a spirit beast wouldn’t stay inside forever, right? Those spirit beasts aren’t the type that hibernates.

Moreover, the two spirit beasts mentioned that the old chieftain stored all the treasures he claimed inside his cave. Why would he do that? Could it be that seeing them daily lifts his spirits?

I believe that the talisman isn’t something the old chieftain can carry with him, so he’s forced to leave it in his cave and seldom goes out. As for why he wants the spirit beasts’ treasures, there must be another motive."

Upon hearing this, everyone raised their eyebrows and looked at Lin Changhong.

"What motive could there be?"

Lin Caisang rested her chin in her hand, looking at her husband and asked softly.

"I don’t know either, Sangsang, Zimo, you’ll need to think it through," Lin Changhong shrugged, pouting at the two of them.

"The old chieftain collected so many items. Captain Liu and I also inquired, and found that most of them can enhance spiritual power. Since the old chieftain acquired them, why doesn’t he use them for cultivation but instead just piles them up?

Would you do the same? That would be a waste of treasures, wouldn’t it? And it would easily attract the attention of others."

It’s hard to fathom; could the old chieftain be trying to lure thieves with those items?

"Brother, you mean, the old chieftain took those things not for himself, but..." Lin Caisang squinted her beautiful eyes, looking at her brother.

"I don’t know either, but I feel it’s not that simple," Lin Changhong shook his head.

Of course, he couldn’t figure it out, only knowing that there’s more to the old chieftain’s collection than meets the eye, definitely with a purpose.

But what is that purpose exactly? He can’t just ask the old chieftain directly, so how could he know?

"Perhaps, it’s related to the talisman," Sui Zimo suggested. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards Sui Zimo, their eyes filled with confusion.

A talisman alone, requiring so many treasures to pile up? In Qianji Pond, it’s said that even casually picking up a stone might have spiritual restorative properties, isn’t that why in Qianji Pond, one’s power can grow without cultivation, eating, or even much sleep?

But if those treasures were collected for the sake of the talisman, it indeed seems baffling, doesn’t it?

"That’s impossible. Can the talisman eat those treasures?" Captain Liu asked half-jokingly, believing it’s entirely improbable.

After all, it’s just a talisman, not a living thing.

"Who knows, it might actually consume them. All kinds of strange things exist in this world, you know," one of the trio from the group chimed in.

Who can say if the talisman can’t absorb things with spirit?

"But the two spirit beasts claimed that those items haven’t decreased in number," Captain Liu noted.

Yet, it seems those two spirit beasts don’t even dare to enter the old chieftain’s cave. What they said about the old chieftain are merely hearsay, not witnessed firsthand.

"Could it be true that the talisman can consume things with spirit? If so, the old chieftain’s collection would make sense." he concluded.
