Chapter 135 Ginseng Fruit Tree
The ginseng fruit tree is one of the ten best innate spiritual roots in the ancient times, and is also the companion spiritual root of Zhen Yuanzi.
Even Zhen Yuanzi himself didn’t know whether the ginseng fruit tree could also have the effect of reshaping the body?
The old man Hongyun standing by was even more confused. If you asked him what the ginseng fruit tasted like and how to eat it, he could tell you a lot.
When Luo Shu saw the confused expressions of Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun Patriarch, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, as if he had already expected this situation.
So he stepped forward, bowed, and continued:
"My two elders, everything I said is true. I just don't know if you, Zhen Yuanzi, are willing to let me fiddle with the ginseng fruit tree."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi nodded slightly, his voice filled with unquestionable determination:
"My dear friend Luo Shu, as long as I can help my dear brother Hong Yun rebuild his body, I will be willing to do so even if you have to dig up the ginseng fruit tree."
After saying this, he looked "affectionately" at the Red Cloud Ancestor floating beside him.
When Patriarch Hongyun heard Zhen Yuanzi's domineering words, gratitude appeared in his eyes.
He didn't expect that Zhen Yuanzi would sacrifice a top-grade spiritual root like the ginseng fruit tree in order to save him.
This friendship is so important to him, it is as high as the sky and as deep as the earth, and it is difficult to express in words.
Ancestor Hongyun looked at Zhen Yuanzi with complicated emotions in his heart.
"Brother Zhenyuan, you..."
The voice of Patriarch Hongyun was a little choked. He wanted to express his gratitude, but the words seemed to be stuck in his throat and could not be uttered smoothly.
Seeing what Ancestor Hongyun said, Zhen Yuanzi took a step forward and said in a gentle but firm voice:
"Okay, okay, it's just a ginseng fruit tree."
His words revealed a kind of open-mindedness and indifference, as if he was telling Old Ancestor Hongyun that although the ginseng fruit tree was precious, it was insignificant compared to him.
Then, Zhen Yuanzi continued:
"As long as I can save you, no matter what the price, it's worth it."
When Patriarch Hongyun heard this, gratitude surged in his heart like a tide.
Seeing the excited expression of Hongyun Patriarch, Zhen Yuanzi changed the subject and said with a relaxed smile in order to prevent him from getting emotional:
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Look, little friend Luo Shu is still watching."
"We are at least well-known figures in the prehistoric world. How can we lose our composure in front of this young man?"
As he spoke, Zhen Yuanzi gently patted Old Ancestor Hongyun on the shoulder, signaling him to adjust his mood.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Hongyun realized his own gaffe. He couldn't help but smile awkwardly and hurriedly calmed himself down.
Then, Patriarch Hongyun took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
He turned around and cast an apologetic look at Luo Shu, forcing an awkward smile from the corner of his mouth:
"I'm sorry to have made you laugh, little friend Luo Shu. I've been in the Nine-Nine Soul-Scattering Gourd for too long, so it's inevitable that my emotions will fluctuate a bit."
Seeing this, Luo Shu quickly waved his hand to show that he didn't mind. Then, he responded respectfully:
"Senior Hongyun, you are too kind. I also envy the friendship between you and Senior Zhen Yuanzi."
"The friendship between the two seniors is profound. They both care about each other and it has become stronger over the years. It is truly admirable!"
Luo Shu continued, his eyes revealing admiration for the two seniors.
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Hongyun wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Zhen Yuanzi who was standing beside him.
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Luo Shu with anticipation in his eyes, and said slowly:
"My dear friend Luo Shu, the ginseng fruit tree is planted in the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple. Let's go there now. As for how to do it, you have the final say."
Upon hearing this, Luo Shu bowed and said respectfully:
"Okay, both seniors, rest assured, I will do my best to live up to your trust."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi nodded in satisfaction, looked at the Red Cloud Patriarch beside him, and said in a gentle voice:
"Brother Hongyun, you are still in the state of a spirit body, so just stay here and recuperate."
Upon hearing this, Patriarch Hongyun was slightly stunned. Then, he shook his head and said bluntly:
"Brother Zhenyuan, don't worry about me. Although I am in the form of a spirit body now, I feel in good condition and there is nothing serious."
He paused, a smile appeared on his face, and continued:
"Besides, I'm not leaving Wanshou Mountain. I'm just going to the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple. It's not far away, and you're here with me, so I can go there safely."
Ancestor Hongyun turned his gaze to Luo Shu who was standing beside him, a glimmer of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he said:
"I am also curious about how little friend Luo Shu wants to treat the ginseng fruit tree."
Seeing that what Patriarch Hongyun said made sense, Zhen Yuanzi had no choice but to nod his head and agreed to let Patriarch Hongyun go with him to the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple.
So, the three of them left Zhen Yuanzi's retreat and set out on the road to the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple.
Along the way, they passed through winding corridors and bypassed the verdant bamboo forest. The air was filled with the fresh fragrance of grass and trees, which made people feel relaxed and happy.
As they moved forward, Luo Shu and the other two arrived at the backyard of Wuzhuang Temple.
There was an open space there, with a towering tree standing in the middle, with lush branches and leaves, exuding a faint spiritual aura.
This is one of the ten best innate spiritual roots in the ancient times - the ginseng fruit tree.
When Luo Shu saw the ginseng fruit tree, a trace of shock flashed in his eyes, and he muttered to himself:
"This... is this the ginseng fruit tree? This is incredible."
Luo Shu's shock was not without reason.
In his previous life, he had watched the film "Journey to the West". The ginseng fruit tree in that film was also spectacular, but the one before him was far beyond his imagination.
He vaguely remembered that the ginseng fruit tree in Journey to the West was also tall, but its branches and leaves were not as lush as the one in front of him, and its spiritual energy was incomparable.
All I can say is that when you compare the two, the big one pales in comparison.
Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi and Old Ancestor Hong Yun couldn't help but smile at each other.
Zhen Yuanzi walked forward slowly with steady steps, pointed his finger at the towering tree, and said slowly:
"The tree in front of us is the ginseng fruit tree, and the fruit hanging on it is the ginseng fruit."
“The value of the ginseng fruit tree lies in the ginseng fruit it produces.”
Zhen Yuanzi continued to explain, "This tree is extraordinary. It takes three thousand years for the tree to bloom, and another three thousand years for it to bear fruit, and another three thousand years for it to mature."
He paused for a moment and then said:
"That is to say, it takes nearly ten thousand years to produce these thirty ginseng fruits."
"This ginseng fruit is also known as the Grass-Returning Pill. Its magical properties are hard to describe in words."
Zhen Yuanzi's eyes moved, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said calmly:
"If a mortal obtains one, with just one bite, he will be instantly reborn and become an immortal."
"Even if you get close to it and take a sniff, you can feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth contained in it, and gain great benefits from it."
"Furthermore, if a cultivator eats a ginseng fruit, he can gain a thousand years of power."
After hearing Zhen Yuanzi's introduction, Luo Shu felt that he knew too little about ginseng fruit before.
I didn't expect that a ginseng fruit could have such an effect.
Then, Luo Shu thought about how he had eaten several ginseng fruits, but why didn’t he feel any improvement in his cultivation?
In the end, Luo Shu attributed it to the different techniques practiced, and the effects of eating the ginseng fruit were also different.
