In this uninhabited and mysterious Gobi Desert, deep within its vast expanses, an ancient legend is whispered. In antiquity, the grand and visionary Tibetan King of the Western Regions and his queen were laid to rest in a joint mausoleum located somewhere in this region. According to lore, the tomb of the Tibetan King lies in a place called Qiongjie, a blessed site of supreme geomancy known as the Nine-Dragon Jade-Phoenix Dragon Vein. The queen's mausoleum happens to sit directly atop this sacred vein.
The Nine-Dragon Jade-Phoenix Vein connects the heavens above to the netherworld below, linking the nine provinces of Huáxià at its center. Situated right at the heart of the ancient Silk Road, the Tai Sui Spirit Ginseng grows inside the Tibetan King's mausoleum at Qiongjie. Having absorbed the dragon-phoenix spiritual essence of the king and queen, it is very likely that two plants of Tai Sui Spirit Ginseng exist there—one male and one female. However, finding Qiongjie is no easy feat. Legend has it that the entrance revealing the path to Qiongjie only appears under specific times and conditions. Countless adventurers have come in search of it, only to return empty-handed.
Jiang Yan and the other Seven Sages embarked on the journey to find Qiongjie. Relying on his exceptional wisdom and courage, he navigated through the Gobi, deciphering riddles until he finally found the mysterious passage hidden within the desert.
