The Nine Immortal Grasses are unique due to their scarcity. Whether it is ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum living in seclusion in the depths of mountain forests, dendrobium growing on cliffs, snow lotus and Ophiocordyceps sinensis of Tianshan Mountain hidden on the snow line of white mountains, or Cistanche deserticola buried in the vast desert, the "son of the sea" pearl hidden in the deep ocean, etc. These fairy grasses are nourished by the aura of heaven and earth, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. Their biological properties are unique, and their requirements for the growth environment are extremely strict. Therefore, most of these fairy grasses are distributed in a small range, which creates the Scarcity of resources. On the other hand, these fairy grasses are mostly distributed in rarely traveled areas, relying on natural dangers. It is not easy for people to collect and dig them. With powerful efficacy and scarce resources, the Nine Immortal Grasses have been favored by nobles in the imperial palace since ancient times and have been coveted by the general public.
