As the martial alliance within the capital began to take action to find the person who had dealt them a heavy blow, the man from the Estrella family was escorted away from the capital through the night.
Morning arrived and everyone was up early and began to have their breakfast, Ki sat opposite them and put down the map which had several markings on it.
She pointed to several places and spoke. "We need to leave soon so we need to use this time to search the mountain for anything useful before we go. We will split into several groups, if anything looks like the drawings I have sketched down inform me immediately."
The group split up right away and checked each location according to her orders.
Half an hour had passed before a small group returned and someone spoke. "Young miss, we have found what you were looking for."
Ki nodded then spoke calmly. "Lead the way."
Soon she was lead into the mountains once again and came across many plants and medicine herbs.
Ki smiled happily as she had finally found what she was looking for.
Many wild ginseng were found around the location on the mountain range along with other useful herbs.
She called for everyone to come and help harvest everything and carefully store them all away.
Examining the ginseng each time she removed one from the ground there were many ten to fifty year old ginseng, around twenty or more hundred plus year old ginseng and even five thousand year old ginseng according to what she could identify.
Ginseng could be used in tea and wine but it was known for its uses for boosting a martial artists blood and qi or be made into pills but it also had another use which was to be consumed when a transcendent martial artist undergoes bone metamorphosis.
The older the age of the ginseng the more potent their effects it is believed by most people so if anyone was wanting to achieve the best effects during their bone metamorphosis then they would consume a thousand year old ginseng or at least one of one hundred years of age.
After they all had been harvested the next stage was to find a place to replant them and keep them from reaching the hands of any others until Ki could decide what to do with them.
Perhaps she could harvest the seeds from them and also add the ginseng to her herb farm.
It seems as though this mountain was part of someone else's property before the evil flame emperor took it over and set up his tomb there and everything that was grown on the mountain was left behind by them before the evil flame emperor.
Maybe the evil flame emperor had already used or sold some of the ginsengs and herbs that he found in the past so the numbers Ki found were somewhat reduced.
Ki didn't know for sure what was the truth but she was still grateful for everything that she had found.
The martial alliances affiliated sects immediately claimed this herb garden on the mountain and moved everything into their sects grounds after splitting it all between them.
Once again Ki had gained everything that would of benefitted others but she did not look the least bit complacent.
She turned to everyone and then spoke in a serious tone of voice. "We need to leave right now. This time on our way back we will take less breaks and have short rests before we continue on our way."
Time was beginning to pass and they needed to head back to the village as soon as possible.
They had not heard back from the village since they left and anything could happen during their absence but most of all they could not be caught of in the outside world during this time.
Ki was aware of the Estrella families abilities to read the changes in the stars, the Baer families intelligence and wisdom which was capable of finding the truth of what she had done and who was involved if she was not careful and stayed for too long.
She needed to get back home to avoid the eyes and ears of the martial alliance but also needed to carefully plan out how to deal with the aftermath of what she had done.
This action she had took involved a major event in history and there would be repercussions for what she had done if she was not careful.
She may have gotten the treasures, money and resources but she could not be caught with them or tied to anything linking her to what she had done.
Ki also knew of the Laurent families abilities in the business and political world and knew of the influence they had to be able to keep an eye on and spot any sudden unusual fluctuations within the business world.
If Ki expanded her businesses too recklessly with her money and resources then the Laurent families people would begin to notice something wrong and mark her and her family to be put on their watch list.
If she was then put on their watch list then for the next couple of years she would not be able to expand her business as it would only increase their suspicions.
Although the Bombyx family are rich from hundreds of years of accumulating money from their business deals and silk trade, they would eventually find a time where they had to stop expanding and begin to stabilise what they had built up.
If they continued to keep pushing outward as if they had just decided to invest a lot of money because of recent successes or someone had come across a fortune to invest in the business all of a sudden the suspicions of the martial alliance would cause them to look more closely at the families connections, private dealings and contacts which would not be good for anyone that was connected to her.
Not long had passed before Ki mounted her horse once more and everyone else either mounted theirs or got on one of the carriages.
They all began to travel together at the fastest speed possible to cover as much ground as possible but allowed short breaks to replenish their and the horses strength.
