Root Vegetable Tian Novels & Stories

His voice was soft like a feather. Dom dragged me to another stall. This time, we're checking out the root vegetables. There were a lot of people walking past us, so Dom pulled me closer to his side. I stepped back a bit because he was too close. Dom's brows knitted at what I did, but he just looked at the good in front of us. "Hmmm, root vegetables like carrots, beets, potatoes and onions should be hard to the touch and free of any cracked or soft spots," He delicately spoke from behind of me. I nodded at what he said.

Cauldron, mortar and pestle, bowls of different sizes, and various weird-looking plants were placed neatly before their eyes. There is a red-colored root crop plant at the center, and there are four of them. It looks like a bulb of garlic only a larger version of it with its size comparable to a child's fist.

“Here, give it to your uncle.” The skinny man frowned as he looked at the cloth. He grabbed the cloth and opened it, finding some dark jerky like things. He sniffed it and noticed the sweet smell.

And what the heck is this?” Hayate leaned closer and mouthed at him without voicing it. ‘Ponta Roots.’ The skinny man’s eyes almost bulged out of his sockets. “Are you really sure it’s…?”

Sienna asked, looking down at the tangle of roots Aria had already unearthed. "Gentian," Aria instructed gently, handing her a freshly dug root system. "Use the edge of the trowel to scrape away the thickest mud, then peel the outer layer of the skin. The core is what we keep. It’s a bitter root, but it’s essential for the winter reserves."

They looked for it in the forest not far from the coast. Apparently Winter found burdock. Burdock is a tuber that is slender in shape. Usually this root is used as an ingredient to nourish the body because this type of root is able to clean the blood in the body. Selena smiled because the plant was quite useful for maintaining the stamina of the students. She smiled as he watched Winter cheerfully dig into the soil beneath which was filled with burdock roots. Silvanna looked around then tilted her head upwards. Apparently it was a very hot day. Silvanna then took everyone back to the cottage because the potions they got were enough to stock up for next month.

​The keeper smiled faintly, then pointed to the crevice between mossy rocks beneath the arch of dried roots. ​"The Tieh-Lan Root is there. But be careful. It does not welcome hesitation." ​Sua said nothing. She walked forward, her knees slowly lowering to the ground. Under the moonlight reflecting off the mist, the root looked like a living creature. Pulsing slowly, extending gently like a sleeping snake.

I noted, my hand moving rapidly across the page. "And the roots," Adrianna added, "They're an excellent natural diuretic, helping to flush toxins from the body. A tea made from the roots can be incredibly cleansing." I dutifully wrote down 'dandelion roots - diuretic, detoxifying'. Adrianna then moved to a tall, leafy plant with broad, jagged foliage. "This is Comfrey. Its leaves and roots contain allantoin, a compound that promotes rapid healing of wounds and damaged tissues."

she adds, shaking her head, “the effects wear off. So I don’t believe this was used on you. Your suppression’s been too consistent.” Staring at it, my stomach turns a little and I make a mental note to avoid anything that even vaguely resembles a sweet potato for the rest of my life. Her fingers move to the next. Our next possible culprit is a deep purple, almost black, shape resembling a small eggplant but sprouting thin, with hairy roots emanating from one end. “Wildroot. This one’s permanent. It disables the beast for life. You lose your scent, shifting takes longer than usual, and you don’t hear a voice in your head.”

“Yes, because it was a mutated carvera that Raven had been working on for months. Out of hundreds of the mutated varieties, only one of such carvera survived. So I hope you can imagine how important it was for Raven, considering how much time, resources and probably emotions he had invested in it.” I nodded once, pursing my lips. “Even so, it was still a plant! All you had to do was be careful. Did you know how to protect yourself from it?” she asked. “I had read that… its r-roots are its weakness,” I said. “If we uproot them, they lose their power, and… eventually, they die.” Nesryn looked away with a huff as she ran her fingers through her open hair, flipping them back. “So you knew how to

From the expression on their faces, Mina had already given them hints about what their missions were. “I need you guys to get the winter root for me.
