Daxia.
Rui State.
Cang County.
Rui State is located at the southwestern frontier of Daxia, bordering Yue Country, with a population of just under a million. The region has numerous mountains and few plains. Despite its remote location, there is no shortage of foreign merchants here, especially during the summer and autumn seasons, when countless caravans gather in this place.
It's because the mountains of Rui State are rich in fungi.
The complex terrain and unique climatic conditions of the vast forests nurture an abundance of fungal resources.
These fungi are favored by wealthy families. When the fungi mature each year, large groups of merchants come here, buying the fungi from locals at low prices. Once they reach Chang'an or Jinyang, they can sell them for dozens of times the price.
