Tang Jie looked over and saw a white grass about three feet long with four cloves, its roots like twisted vines. Nodding, he said, "Correct, it's Whiteroot, and one that's been growing for at least thirty years. I can't believe that there's so many! Where did you find them?"

Yiyi was holding at least seven stalks. For Old Crow Ridge to be home to a swath of Whiteroot, and thirty-year Whiteroot at that, was practically a miracle.

Yiyi pointed into the distance. "Over by the spring."

The stream Yiyi was pointing at had many water spruces growing next to it. This tree excreted a sort of sap that would sublimate on contact with the wind and make people dizzy, and the addition of water would strengthen the effect.

This illusion formation wasn't a
