Chapter 141: Ginseng Fruit Pit

"Ginseng Fruit Tree?!"

The two shouted in unison.

Hearing these four words, even Cheng Xinzhan, who was always calm, could not remain calm.

Who doesn't know, who doesn't know, the Ginseng Fruit Tree is a legendary treasure, a divine tree conceived at the beginning of the primordial era, and the owner of the divine tree is known as the Ancestor of Earth Immortals, Zhenyuan Great Immortal!

And in legend, the Ginseng Fruit Tree can increase lifespan!

Eleventh Lady looked at the white rat and said,

"You know the whereabouts of the Ginseng Fruit Tree? You must know that the Ginseng Fruit Tree is not a ginseng grass that has grown into a tree!"

The white rat was furious, "Of course I know!"

"But in legend, the divine tree wasn't taken to the outer heaven by Zhenyuan Great Immortal?"

Eleventh Lady asked.

"Who said I know the whereabouts of the divine tree?"

The white rat said.

"Then you are teasing us?!"

Eleventh Lady lifted the white rat and shook it hard.

The white rat was frightened and screamed, finally stopping the riddle, and said repeatedly, "What I want to say is not the Ginseng Fruit Tree, but a pit of a ginseng fruit!"

Eleventh Lady and Cheng Xinzhan looked at each other. A pit of a ginseng fruit was also an extraordinary divine object!

Eleventh Lady put the white rat down,

"You tell me carefully, where did the pit come from! In legend, Zhenyuan Great Immortal's rules are even bigger than the Queen Mother's. Even if it is a fairy fruit sent out, he will send a boy to take back the fruit pit afterwards."

"Moreover, in legend, this treasure blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and matures after another three thousand years. After waiting for ten thousand years, only thirty are produced, all recorded in the book. How could there be a lost fruit pit?!"

The white rat rolled its eyes,

"How would this old man know how the pit came from? Anyway, I saw it. Now, do you think this secret can be exchanged for this old man's life?"

Eleventh Lady nodded and said,

"That is naturally possible, but how do you know that what you saw is a ginseng fruit pit?"

The white rat raised its head high and replied,

"The world first had the Ginseng Fruit Tree, then the ginseng grass. The ancestor of the ginseng grass was the ordinary grass root near the Ginseng Fruit Tree that touched the root of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, contaminated with fairy Qi, and was thus pointed as ginseng grass. I saw my own ancestor, can I not recognize that aura?"

"Besides, this old man once tracked that fruit pit. The fruit pit traveled in the earth vein, swallowing the massive essence in the earth vein, and self-concluded the Five Elements Dharma Prohibition. This old man couldn't get close at all. Except for the ginseng fruit pit, what other fruit pit has such power?"

"Where is the fruit pit now? Tell me carefully!"

Eleventh Lady urged.

However, the white rat ignored her.

"Three Pure Saints above, Mount Sanqing disciple Cheng Xinzhan swears here that as long as the wood spirit leads the disciple to find the ginseng fruit pit, the disciple will immediately release the wood spirit, not detain, not hunt. If I violate this oath, I will cut off my own immortal path."

Cheng Xinzhan stretched out three fingers on his left hand and swore to the sky.

"So it is a disciple of Mount Sanqing. Then this old man naturally believes it. However, this old man is truly greedy for life and afraid of death, so please ask the Daoist to add one more sentence. If this Xiao family woman keeps me, the Daoist must stop her, and in the future, she must not look for me, let alone send someone to look for me."

The white rat added.

Cheng Xinzhan agreed and swore again.

Only then was the white rat relieved and said slowly,

"This old man first saw the fruit pit two hundred years ago, in the mountains of Miao territory, in a very deep earth vein. At that time, this old man was traveling in the ground and accidentally saw a mass of five-colored mysterious light, knowing it was a treasure, so he leaned over to look."

"What was in the mysterious light was not something else, but a rotten fruit. The shape of the fruit could no longer be seen. It had rotted into a layer of skin. The essence of the fruit flesh was absorbed by the pit. The fruit pit was swallowing essence, emitting five-colored mysterious light. It was just a pity that the fragrance of the rotten fruit was locked in the mysterious light, otherwise, if I smelled it, I could also ascend to immortality."

The white rat recalled.

"Rotten fruit? You mean when you first saw it, it was not just the fruit pit, but also the fruit flesh? Could it be a complete fruit?"

Eleventh Lady asked.

Cheng Xinzhan was also very confused. Could there be a complete ginseng fruit that had not been eaten and fell to the ground?

That was a fruit that had been produced for ten thousand years!

"Yes, a whole fruit. I don't know who was so wasteful."

The white rat said with emotion.

"Divine objects have spirits, naturally they will emit mysterious light to lock their own fragrance, otherwise I'm afraid they would have been eaten by people long ago."

Cheng Xinzhan said.

"Exactly," the white rat nodded and continued,

"Seeing the divine object, this old man naturally wanted it, but the fruit pit self-concluded the Five Elements Dharma Domain, and this old man couldn't break through at all, so I thought of a way while watching from afar."

"This look was fifty years. One day fifty years later, the fruit pit suddenly moved, traveling in the ground. The fruit pit should have been avoiding the demons, ghosts, and corpses underground. Fortunately, the speed was not very fast. This old man used all his strength to follow behind, and for a full ten hours, the fruit pit drilled into an earth vein and stopped again to swallow essence."

"Where did you two guess it went?"

"Southern Wilderness?"

At this time, Eleventh Lady guessed very cooperatively.

"No."

The white rat shook its head.

"Dianwen?"

Cheng Xinzhan also guessed.

"No."

The white rat still shook its head.

"Can't guess, can't guess, you tell me quickly."

Eleventh Lady lost her patience again.

"Hehe, this old man came out to see, it is sunny and there are many forests here, it has arrived at Qiongzhou Island!"

The white rat shook its head and wagged its tail.

"Then the fruit pit is now on Qiongzhou Island?"

Eleventh Lady asked.

"No, the fruit pit only stayed on Qiongzhou Island for sixty years, and then left. This time this old man won't sell the riddle. This time it went to Jingchu. It stayed in Jingchu for forty years, and after forty years it went to Heluo. It stayed in Heluo for fifty years. Six years ago, it went to the land of Baishan and Black Water, and stayed at the foot of Changbai Mountain."

"Two months ago, this old man went out for a stroll and was caught by your Xiao family's hunting team."

"That means the fruit pit is now at the foot of Changbai Mountain?"

Cheng Xinzhan asked.

The white rat nodded, "The fruit pit only moves once every few decades. It should still be at Changbai Mountain now."

Cheng Xinzhan didn't understand and asked again, "What is the fruit pit doing? Running all over the world?"

The white rat shook its head and said: "This old man naturally doesn't know the truth, but this old man also has guesses. There should be two reasons. First, it should be to absorb the essence in different earth veins. The south is hot and the north is cold, traveling around the Divine Land to absorb essence. Second, this old man guesses that this fruit pit is looking for a place suitable for rooting and sprouting."

Cheng Xinzhan's heart moved. If this fruit pit sprouted, it would be very different. If it didn't sprout, it might be a supreme treasure for alchemy and refining, but if it sprouted and became a tree, it would be an inexhaustible treasure!

The fruit produced by this tree, not to mention being able to prolong life for thousands or ten thousand years, even if it was fifty or sixty years, it was also an extraordinary fairy treasure!

He hadn't even seen the shadow of the fruit pit, and he was thinking about eating the fruit. Cheng Xinzhan mocked himself in his heart. His cultivation of the heart was still not enough.

"Then please ask the senior to take us for a trip. When we see the fruit pit, we will naturally release the senior."

Eleventh Lady said with a smile.

The white rat hummed. Only then did it know to call what senior.

However, the white rat did what it said. It didn't have much lifespan left, and it had long figured it out. It hadn't touched the fruit pit for two hundred years, which meant it had no fate with the fruit pit. It was better to let this fate to others and exchange it for a chance to reincarnate.

The white rat led the way in front, and the two followed behind, starting from the Qilu land, traveling north all the way, and after passing North You, they went east.

When they arrived at the land of Baishan and Black Water, they were surprised to find that it was already covered in white snow. The majestic Changbai Mountain range could be seen from afar, like a white dragon lying down.

There was a Medicine King Temple on Changbai Mountain, which was a world-famous Daoist medical holy land.

The white rat led the two to stop at a place two hundred miles west of Changbai Mountain.

"This is it. We have to escape into the ground. It's in the very deep underground. Can you two perform Earth Escape?"

Hearing this, Cheng Xinzhan looked at Eleventh Lady.

Eleventh Lady shook her head, "I can't perform Earth Escape. Xinzhan, you go yourself, and I will wait for you outside."

Cheng Xinzhan nodded, "Then leave Dengge to accompany you."

Eleventh Lady nodded, and then took out several things from her cave stone,

"Xinzhan, keep these well. This is the White Jade Linglong Ball, which can block a blow from a Golden Core cultivator. This is the Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, which is a good medicine for detoxification. This is the Piercing Earth Frost Needle, and this is the Mysterious Heavy Water Bead. They are all treasures of attack. You should take them all!"

Eleventh Lady stuffed everything to Xinzhan.

Xinzhan laughed repeatedly, "I don't need these things. Instead, Eleventh Lady, you are guarding me outside, so you should keep the treasures well."

He stuffed everything back into Eleventh Lady's arms and said to the white rat at the same time,

=9+Book_Bar

"Please lead the way."

The white rat nodded, light flashed on its body, and it drilled into the soil.

Cheng Xinzhan did not wait for Eleventh Lady to decline, pinched a formula, magic power of Earth element flowed on his body, and recited,

"Ten directions of land, facilitate me, walk in the mountains and walk on the ground, enter the ghost and enter the underworld, escape!"

Brilliant light flashed on Cheng Xinzhan's body, and he immediately seeped into the ground and disappeared.

Eleventh Lady looked around, found a mountain cave not far away, and hid with Dengge. Standing in this white snow field all the time was a bit eye-catching.

Cheng Xinzhan followed the white rat all the way down. He estimated that he had escaped for ten or so miles before the white rat gradually slowed down.

"Look, this is the earth vein."

The white rat said.

Cheng Xinzhan also saw it. Not far away, there was a bright colored ribbon slowly flowing in the pitch-black underground. At this moment, Cheng Xinzhan did not feel like he had come to the underground, but rather like looking up at the starry sky on a summer night. The bright colored ribbon was like the Milky Way.

At this time, the Inner Landscape Deity in his Spleen Mansion naturally sensed it and fed on the essence of Earth Qi in the earth vein.

"This earth vein connects directly to Changbai Mountain, and the fruit pit is in this earth vein."

One person and one spirit walked horizontally along the earth vein for another three or four miles. Then, without waiting for the white rat to say anything, Cheng Xinzhan had already seen that in the brilliant earth vein, there was an even more brilliant light. This light was interwoven with five colors: white, green, black, red, and yellow, like a rainbow at night.

Cheng Xinzhan and the wood spirit slowly approached.

"This!"

After walking closer, the wood spirit suddenly widened its eyes, and its short mouse claws pointed straight at the brilliance,

"Sprouted, sprouted!"

Cheng Xinzhan had already operated the Cinnabar Pupils, seeing more clearly than the wood spirit.

In those five layers of five-colored brilliance, there was indeed a fruit pit. The fruit pit looked like yellow jade, and the texture of the fruit pit was similar to a peach pit, full of gullies and tendons. At first glance, it was chaotic, but looking carefully, the tendons clearly formed a map of the human body's Heavenly Cycle acupoints!

But what was truly surprising was that at the top of the fruit pit, a crack had split open. In that crack, a little green sprout had poked out.

What kind of green was that?

It was like the black and yellow wilderness suddenly dyed with a piece of tender green after the early spring rain, like the sprout points drawn from the weeping willow branches lifted by the cold spring wind, like the new small leaves on the tea trees in the high mountain rain and fog, and like the sharp green lotus that emerged from the silt in the shallow pond in early summer.

After seeing this touch of green light, Cheng Xinzhan forgot the five-colored brilliance, forgot the brilliant earth vein light points, as if there was only this touch of color in this pitch-black underground.

This was the manifestation of vitality.

"It seems that this object is indeed not destined for this old man. I guarded it for two hundred years, traveled all over the world, and never saw it sprout. I only left for two months, and I saw it sprout. It's a pity, I didn't see the moment the green sprout came out of the pit, it must be the most beautiful scene."

The white rat said with emotion, and then looked at Cheng Xinzhan, saying,

"This object is destined for the Daoist!"

Cheng Xinzhan smiled, "Oh? Is it because I saw it sprout?"

The white rat shook its head and said,

"Not only that, the Daoist doesn't know that spirit objects can avoid bad luck. Before, this spirit object had never been caught by anyone for many years underground because the spirit object traveled in the earth vein, leaving no trace."

"But it's different now. This old man is transformed from spirit grass and knows some joints. In this old man's opinion, it sprouted because it took a fancy to this piece of land and wants to take root here. The essence accumulated over the years has all been used to take root and sprout and break the pit. At this moment, it should be fully urging the roots, and it has no power to escape again. It must wait for the tender sprout to grow into leaves, the roots to drill out, and absorb the essence of the earth before it can escape again."

"So, this is the Daoist's opportunity. However, if the Daoist misses it, it will be missed. If the spirit object is startled, it will definitely escape to the deeper underground, and then it will really be impossible to find it."

After saying that, the wood spirit added,

"Daoist, now you should know that this old man didn't lie, right."

Cheng Xinzhan came back to his senses, bowed to the wood spirit,

"Thanks to your guidance, I have seen such an opportunity, I am truly grateful."

The white rat smiled, "Then is this old man a free person now?"

Cheng Xinzhan said solemnly,

"This poor Daoist also wants to ask you to take an oath."

"What oath?"

"This poor Daoist asks you to swear by the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak that today's matter is known only to you, me, Eleventh Lady, and a dog, and must not enter other people's ears. If there is any violation, you will never be reincarnated as a human."

The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak is the god who governs life and death and determines nobility and lowliness.

The wood spirit laughed,

"Good, good, this matter is easy. The Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak is above, I, Bai Yongliang, swear here that if I pass today's matter to other people's ears, I will be grass for generations and will not be able to get a human body."

Cheng Xinzhan bowed to thank him.

Afterwards, he ignored the white rat and slowly escaped towards the fruit pit.

The closer he walked, the more he could feel the power of the five-colored brilliance. With the fruit pit as the core, the five layers of brilliance were green, red, yellow, white, and black, corresponding to the Five Elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.

Each layer of brilliance was one hundred steps wide.

He stopped in front of the black water-element domain in the outermost layer. He probed a strand of consciousness, but this strand of consciousness touched the black light and immediately melted away.

So powerful!

He wanted to try again and slowly reached out his hand, but as soon as his hand reached into the black light, he felt his bones and blood were about to melt, so he quickly pulled it out.

He looked down and saw that the skin on his fingertips had melted and was bleeding.

Seeing this, the white rat smiled and said,

"This old man guarded it for two hundred years, tried every method, and went the furthest. It took countless spirit materials to survive the water domain and touch the gold domain, but as soon as I touched the gold domain, I almost lost my soul. It took decades of quiet cultivation to recover."

"This old man wants to watch the Daoist bring the fruit pit out, so that this old man can touch it, so this old man will tell the Daoist some things I have explored for hundreds of years.

"The magic light in this water domain should be transformed by the Taiyin Nether Water, which is said to be able to dissolve all things. The magic light in the gold domain should be the Soul-Falling Golden Light, which specializes in beheading the seven souls of people. As for the ones further inside, this old man has never been in, but this old man escaped into the ground to steal books, inquired everywhere, and finally found the connection between the ginseng fruit and the Five Elements from an ancient book, which is:

Meet water and melt;

Meet gold and fall;

Meet earth and enter;

Meet fire and scorch;

Meet wood and wither."

Cheng Xinzhan heard it, turned around and bowed to the white rat, and after turning back, looked at the black light and thought carefully.
