Chapter 47 Eat My Dad
“Mission accomplished!”
A quarter of an hour later, Asan finally stopped and raised his chin proudly, as if waiting for everyone's praise.
Anxi wiped the sweat off his forehead, and the smile on his face was one of unprecedented relaxation and joy.
Although the movements were a bit strange, I could clearly feel waves of coolness with the unique sweetness of ginseng surrounding my body when I jumped. Following Asan's footsteps, I jumped high. The huge stone that was originally pressing on my heart began to disintegrate until it was completely shattered, and was replaced by comfort and ease.
"Thank you." Qin Qinsen thanked him with a smile, not caring about his weak body. He put one hand on Teng Su's shoulder and was about to stand up.
Asan's small body jumped up again, fell into Qin Qinsen's arms, and pushed him back into a sitting position.
"Don't move, hurry up and eat my father's ginseng roots and nectar."
"Your father?" Qin Qinsen's tone was strange, his eyes wide open.
Are all the spirits of plants and trees so uncaring? They just give their father's beard as he asks.
"eat."
The root with a strong ginseng smell was placed on his lips. Qin Qinsen looked at Teng Su in horror. Do you really want to eat it raw? Without washing it?
Unable to understand the meaning of Qin Qinsen's eyes, Teng Su took out the mineral water and scrubbed it carefully, "Eat."
His tone was calm but brooked no room for rebuttal. Qin Qinsen could only open his mouth and bite off the whisker in one bite under the gaze of everyone.
"That's right, my daddy tastes really good, very sweet. I won't give it to most people if they want to eat it. You have to eat the flowers too, they can replenish your body's deficiency, so that you don't have to carry Dashan and his men on your back when you can't get down the mountain."
"This flower." Chewing and chewing, Qin Qinsen tried hard to swallow the whiskers and asked, "Isn't it your biological mother?"
"No way." Ah Can waved his hand, his face nonchalant. "It's my little brother who has almost no talent for cultivation. Even with such rich spiritual energy, he couldn't open his spiritual wisdom. He just played with a few flowers every day and did nothing else. He couldn't even withstand pests and diseases. I thought this was his orphan, so I took it away and nurtured it. Now it's in use."
Seeing that no one spoke, Ah Chan was a little surprised. "What's wrong? They haven't developed their spiritual wisdom yet and haven't cultivated into human form. You won't be scared, right?"
Qin Qinsen was still chewing, his whiskers as long as an adult's arm, and he choked a little from chewing dry. He was too busy to open his mouth. Teng Su and Teng An held water, trying to save Qin Qinsen before he choked to death. So Anxi took over the conversation, "No, I'm just curious how plants identify their relatives."
"I don't know." Ah Chan tilted his head and recalled, "We're the only family of ginseng in this mountain. My mother has been leading me in cultivation since I regained consciousness. Although my father and brother can't achieve anything through cultivation, we can still communicate, so we've always called them that."
"What about your mother...?" Qi Qingshan was puzzled. He had been living in this mountain area since he was a child, and this was the only one who was so eloquent.
Just when everyone thought it was another sad story of a sudden thunderbolt from the sky and a failure to overcome the tribulation, Asan spoke.
"It's the mountain god."
"Huh?" Everyone was shocked.
Qin Qinsen finally swallowed the food in his mouth and took the mineral water, guzzling half the bottle. "When the spirits of plants and trees achieve the right results in cultivation, they become earthly immortals. They either become gods of a piece of land or mountain gods. It's quite normal."
"Thank you very much."
This thank you was sincere and heartfelt. Although it was a bit strange to eat someone else's father's whiskers, the weakness in his body was gone. There was even a trace of the scent of plants lingering around, slowly repairing his wounds and weakened constitution inch by inch.
"Flowers!" Asan handed over the white flowers again. "Don't let them touch water, otherwise the nectar won't be effective. It's not dirty, I've preserved it very well."
As he said this, he motioned him to eat it quickly.
Qin Qinsen didn't hesitate and picked up three small white flowers and put them into his mouth. Without any chewing, the white flowers turned into sweet syrup the moment they entered his mouth, sliding directly into his body along his lips and tongue.
A fiery energy seemed to surge through his body, creating waves of warmth. The body, previously riddled with holes due to the unreliable life-swapping technique, was finally being healed. The warmth filled the void within him, and the chill from recent encounters with the evil spirits and demons faded noticeably.
Qin Qinsen breathed a sigh of relief, finally realizing what it meant to achieve a balance between yin and yang within his body. With the ginseng roots and nectar nourished by the spirits of plants and trees, from now on, even if he journeyed directly to the underworld in his physical body, he wouldn't have to worry about any effects on his body.
No wonder my dad would rather dance the peacock dance to ask for help from the spirits of plants and trees. It was worth it.
"When a living person crosses the Yin, the most feared thing is a poor body, which will hinder their lifespan. You won't have this worry from now on." Ah Can was very happy and clapped his hands. "So you must help us Dashan more in the future. He is a very dull person. All he does all day is to fiddle with medicinal herbs and tend to flowers and plants. If there is anything good for him, you must help him more, otherwise he won't achieve much in this life."
His air of superiority made everyone laugh, leaving Qi Qingshan speechless. "I'm a CEO after all, even if the company isn't big. How can I be so insignificant?"
"You don't understand." Ah Can jumped up and hit him in frustration. "They are the ones who cross the Yin and have extremely noble fates. Compared to them, you are nothing!"
"You can't carry it on your shoulders or lift it with your hands. Once we get out, I'll teach you how to breathe. Improve your physical condition first!"
Looking at Qi Qingshan who climbed the mountain for three hours without getting out of breath or blushing, and then looking at Qin Qinsen who sat on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up, Teng An felt that maybe the spirit of plants and trees had its own unique standards for physical fitness, just like his father who could eat the spirit of plants and trees at will.
"You want to go out with me?"
Qi Qingshan was a little worried, "Outside..."
"It's not difficult for plant spirits to transform into human form, but usually they choose..." Qin Qinsen spread his hands and pointed at a small ginseng that had transformed into the size of half a palm with a "pop" sound. "Generally speaking, plant spirits prefer their original form. The size is whatever they like, and it's more convenient for movement."
Lifting up Ah Can, who was making a "hehehe" sound as he climbed up his trouser legs, Qi Qingshan said with amusement, "Then you come home with me, and don't open your mouth casually, or you'll scare others."
Ah Can sat on Qi Qingshan's shoulder, grabbing his earlobe with his hand, and said fiercely, "I know, I know. Let's go quickly, let's go!"
Qin Qinsen stood up with amusement, shook off the dirt on his body, and followed.
"Thank you, Master Qin." Anxi came over.
"No need. I've said that fate can be changed. Everything will be smooth sailing from now on."
Anxi shook her head, "Yes, if it weren't for you, my life would have been like this."
I know all too well whether I'm physically weak or not. While I wasn't bedridden as a child, I was still a long way from being healthy. Otherwise, my two older brothers wouldn't have maintained a good exercise habit just to stay with Anxi and strengthen their bodies.
"If you really want to thank me, then do more good deeds and live a good life." Qin Qinsen stretched comfortably and took two quick steps. "Isn't the brazier barbecue in the southwest quite famous? Mr. Qi, take us to experience it!"
