Chapter Seven, the Ginseng Child on Weiyang Peak

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Upon hearing Lu Sheng say he would not eat him anymore, he immediately brightened up: "Actually, even if you want to eat me now, you can't, as this is just my primordial spirit." After a pause, the ginseng doll continued: "Unless you find my true body and consume it, it would be of no use. However, if my true body is gone, I will die."

Open "The Seven Mystical Worlds". Looking at the description of the Seven Mystical Continent: The Seven Mystical Continent is immensely vast, and the Eastern Dragon Kingdom is merely one of the larger countries located in the central part of the continent. There are more than a dozen countries like the Eastern Dragon Kingdom across the entire Seven Mystical Continent, along with countless other small nations, densely packed and impossible to count

You have awakened. A crisp voice suddenly appeared beside Lu Sheng's ear

Although Lu Sheng's physique is not particularly strong, after two months of training, he is still much stronger than an ordinary person. On such a night, there is a chill in the air, yet this child seems to feel no cold at all

Lu Sheng took the fruit, and after watching the ginseng baby leave, he began to examine the fruit carefully

Lu Sheng also looked at this ginseng baby with great joy. In him, Lu Sheng saw a purity and warmth that he had never experienced before, something that had been absent since he could remember.

Lu Sheng was secretly astonished, not expecting that this child dressed in a belly pouch was actually a ginseng spirit. No wonder he felt no chill in such cold weather. If he could capture and consume him, it would surely open up all his meridians.

Lu Sheng shook his head and said, "No, I won't!"

Basking in the warm sunlight, Lu Sheng unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep

Seeing Lu Sheng's expression of surprise and disbelief, the little one became anxious and said: "I told you I am already quite grown. Let me explain it this way: I was originally a ginseng on Wuyuan Peak. After tens of thousands of years, I absorbed enough spiritual energy from heaven and earth, which allowed me to generate my primordial spirit. What you see now is not my true self, but rather the form of my primordial spirit reflected through the essence of moonlight. Otherwise, only those with the realm of divine powers can perceive the primordial spirit."

Of course I am happy, I will wait for the day you transform into human form

Lu Sheng had always been a solitary figure on Yuntai Peak, feeling somewhat lonely in his heart. Suddenly, with such a lovely child coming to keep him company, he naturally felt delighted.

Lu Sheng thought that the child was just talking nonsense and asked, "Where are your parents?"

Unexpectedly, the little child suddenly began to cry loudly. Lu Sheng did not know why the child was crying. Noticing that the child was only wearing a bellyband, fearing that he might catch a cold, he held the little one in his arms and gently comforted him

Since the beginning of my earthly existence, I have lived among groups of beggars who are indifferent to those around them, seeking only to avoid starvation and freezing to death each day

Lu Sheng suddenly looked over and was taken aback to see a child, around three or four years old, who was surprisingly dressed only in a belly pouch.

Lu Sheng nodded and said, "I will come here often in the future. If you want to talk to me, just come here."

"Brother Lu, I want to go back. I will feel very uncomfortable if I stay away from my body for too long. I really want to play with you," said the ginseng doll, pouting.

Between heaven and earth, there exist certain spiritual entities that, after thousands of years of nurturing by the essence of heaven and earth, can give birth to a primordial spirit and possess wisdom. Such spiritual entities are often treasures that practitioners yearn to obtain

It is rare to see Li Mengyun now; the last time I saw her was a month ago. She stood by the Baishui River, dressed in a white gown, her smile as radiant as a flower, which made Lu Sheng's heart ache deeply.

Lu Sheng shook his head: "Naturally, I will not consume your true form either"

The ginseng baby pulled out a strange fruit from somewhere, a type of fruit that had never been seen on land before

Then I will go to the library first. Here is this for you; once you consume it, you will be able to have a great body

The ginseng doll fixed its bright, clear eyes on Lu Sheng and said, "You are really nice, what is your name?"

In a few months, once I have undergone the refinement of the spring thunder, I will be able to transform myself into a human form and be with you. Are you happy, Brother Lu, to be with me?" The life doll asked, its large eyes sparkling.

Lu Sheng walked onto a massive rock atop Yuntai Peak. The sky was clear and bright, with a gentle breeze blowing, and as he looked around, he beheld a scene full of vitality.

Hello, Brother Lu," shouted the ginseng baby happily. After a moment, it frowned again and said, "Unfortunately, I don't have a name. Could you help me come up with one, Brother Lu?

"Weiyang Peak? Isn't that Zhongfeng? It's a forbidden area of the Huashan Sect. This little child actually lives in a forbidden place." Lu Sheng seemed to ponder for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed in shock, "What? You've achieved the Yuan Shen? How is that possible? You're so young."

Reflecting on the unbearable past, Lu Sheng naturally thought of his only companion, Zhu Xin. He wondered how Zhu Xin was faring. Jiang Yang would certainly not spare the Li family, but he hoped that Zhu Xin could escape.

The cold of winter gradually dissipates, and the weather becomes increasingly warm. The snow melts, and all things revive. After enduring a harsh winter, even the green pines appear more vibrant and spirited.

Then the little child stopped crying and said softly: "My father (or mother?) was taken away a long time ago. Before he left, he told me never to leave Weiyang Peak. Four years ago, I achieved the Yuan Shen and have stayed on Weiyang Peak for four years, which has nearly suffocated me. Today, I secretly ran out to play."

Lu Sheng candidly expressed his thoughts. Upon hearing that Lu Sheng actually wanted to eat him, the ginseng doll looked at Lu Sheng in fear. After a while, perhaps realizing that Lu Sheng meant no harm, he gently touched Lu Sheng with his chubby little hand and quietly asked, "You don't want to eat me anymore, do you?"

This is akin to a person; when an accomplished spirit is detached from the body and the body is destroyed, it will have no place to rely on, and gradually the spirit will disperse, ultimately vanishing in the vast universe

Although ginseng dolls have existed in the world for tens of thousands of years, they have only developed their primordial spirit for a few years, and their way of thinking is particularly simplistic, akin to that of a young child.

"I am not a child; I have lived for tens of thousands of years!" said the chubby little child, pouting proudly.

"How wonderful, how wonderful, I have a name now, I have a name now," exclaimed the baby joyfully.

After some thought, Lu Sheng shook his head and patted his own head vigorously, "How could I have such a thought? Since he has already developed a primordial spirit, he is a life form just like any other. How could I bear to treat him this way?"

"You are like a ginseng that has grown for ten thousand years on Mount Huashan, so let us name you Huasheng," said Lu Sheng

Looking at the chubby child in front of him who was grinning foolishly, Lu Sheng felt it was quite strange and asked, "Whose child are you?"

My name is Lu Sheng, you can just call me Brother Lu

Unless one reaches the realm of Yin-Yang possession, the primordial spirit can only seize another physical body to attach itself to. Therefore, before attaining the realm of Yin-Yang possession, every practitioner must take extra care to protect their physical body; otherwise, if the physical body perishes, the primordial spirit will surely be extinguished

Unknowingly, two months have passed on the Yuntai Peak. Apart from physical training, I have been reading books. In addition to the Snow Wolf Body Technique, Lu Sheng has also reviewed the techniques for the subsequent realms several times. He generally understands the techniques for the second and third realms, but his physical condition is too poor to achieve the level of resonating shins.

It is unclear how much time had passed when Lu Sheng finally awoke, only to find that it was already night. The early spring night was still quite cold, and Lu Sheng couldn't help but shiver his shoulders.

The ginseng doll, seeing Lu Sheng's frenzied actions, burst into laughter and said, "Why are you hitting yourself?"
