As it turned out, Shi Xiaoliu was born in a remote place called Stone Village, located beneath Qifeng Town.
The village sat in a desolate backcountry surrounded by barren mountains and wilderness, creating an extremely harsh environment. Apart from growing a few White Jade Mushrooms, the village offered virtually no other resources or produce for the inhabitants to make a living. Consequently, the villagers had no choice but to rely on growing White Jade Mushrooms for the wealthy households in town, earning a meager stipend just to scrape by.
The question then arose: if White Jade Mushrooms could generate a certain income, why didn't the villagers take matters into their own hands to cultivate and sell them on a large scale?
