After everyone had gone far away, Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, took out a tomato from the space, and ate it while walking around the dense ginseng bush. His sight slowly moved from the periphery to the small ginseng in the middle with golden veins.
The leaves of the small ginseng trembled imperceptibly. Qingshan raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and started to think of playing a trick on people again.
Qingshan coughed, winked at Luo Wenyuan, and deliberately said loudly:
"Wen Yuan, why hasn't the Ginseng King woken up yet? Did he fail in building his foundation?"
Luo Wenyuan and Qingshan were on the same page, so he naturally knew what she was going to do. He followed her words and said, "I think it's very likely!"
Qingshan chuckled, slowly walked through the ginseng bushes, came to the small ginseng, squatted down and gently stroked its furry leaves, as if muttering to himself:
"Oh, if I fail to establish my foundation, I'll never wake up. I won't be able to transform into a human form or cultivate to the Tao. What a pity! In that case, I can't waste the thousand-year-old ginseng. I'll dig it up and use it as a medicine ingredient!"
As soon as Qingshan finished speaking, a child's voice started shouting, and the sound seemed to come from the soil.
"No, no, no, I came out a long time ago, but there was a monster there just now, and I don't like to show up!"
After saying that, the green leaves with golden veins moved a few times, the black soil cracked, and a two-foot-tall little baby jumped out from the ground. The baby was wearing a red bellyband and was white and chubby. The ginseng leaves with golden veins were the baby's hair, and there were three small red berries in the hair.
After the little baby jumped out of the soil, he gave Qingshan a flattering smile and raised his arms as white as lotus roots to ask for a hug.
Qingshan bent down and picked up the little ginseng by the knees. She thought of Tuanzi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. She didn't know how the little guy was doing now, and whether they could meet again in this life. There was a lonely look in her eyes.
Luo Wenyuan saw Qingshan mumbling in the ginseng bush, and he actually mentioned a fat baby with green hair, which scared him.
"Qingshan, is this the thousand-year-old ginseng?"
Before Qingshan could reply, Little Ginseng spoke first: "Yes, I am the mountain god of this area. Why don't you come and pay your respects--!"
Qingshan reached out and slapped Little Ginseng on the butt, grinning and saying, "Little kid, if we hadn't arrived in time, you would have been captured by the orcs and taken to Siberia to be made into soup. How could you have built your foundation? You don't know how to repay a favor. What kind of immortal are you? Shame on you!"
Although the ginseng spirit has transformed into a little boy, he has lived for thousands of years and his heart is not as ignorant as his appearance. Otherwise, he would have been dug up by the immortal cultivators or the supernatural powers who coveted him to make pills. How could he have come out of seclusion smoothly? The little ginseng knew that the
A man and woman had done him a great favor. The woman still had the scent of spiritual energy on her body. It must have been she who had supplied him with enough spiritual energy for building his foundation. He truly owed her a debt of gratitude. Thinking of this, Little Ginseng blushed, lowered his head, and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito:
"I, I was wrong. You don't need to pay homage to me... I should pay homage to my benefactor!"
The more Qingshan looked at his expression, the more he felt that he was like Tuanzi. He seemed simple, but in fact he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve. Some people said they were arrogant, but they knew shame and were almost brave, so it was hard to dislike them.
"Alright, we're here to protect you, so we can't be called benefactors. If you want to thank someone, then thank you for finding five loyal guardians!"
Qingshan has not forgotten his two "senior brothers" in Wujia Village. They are still waiting for the ginseng spirit to take them to avoid the thunder tribulation and enter the Tushita realm. This is a good time to put some gold on their faces and let the ginseng spirit remember their kindness and take care of them in the future.
