Chapter 237: Chapter 236 Scared to Death Qin Liuxi swiftly followed the noise, her nose twitching, as she exclaimed in surprise. “Come out, or I’ll blast this forest to bits so you’ve nowhere to escape,” Qin Liuxi’s nostrils flared as she followed the fragrant scent. The other party didn’t move, or rather, didn’t dare to. “I’m counting now, one, two...” She pinched a spell with her hand, and at her fingertips, a small cluster of Karmic Fire ignited. Black Impermanence saw it, his pupils shrank, and his scalp went numb, unable to maintain his composure, he surged forward with a combination of leaping and rolling, enveloping it with his hands, and cried out in a sharp voice, “Sir, this mustn’t be done.” Sizzle sizzle. Black Impermanence wailed in pain, yet dared not let go. If she really blasted this forest, it would be a huge mess, not acceptable. “Sir...” Seeing him dangerously trying to put out the fire, Qin Liuxi promptly released her grip; the Karmic Fire disappeared, and seeing his hands burnt and weakened by the Karmic Fire, she said, “You’re insane, this won’t kill you.” Black Impermanence was in considerable pain, but still miserably looked at her and said, “Sir, one must not play with fire.” She shouldn’t play. Qin Liuxi glared at him and lowered her voice, “Panic over nothing, I was just scaring him.” Black Impermanence thought, scaring him is all well and good, but I fear you can’t control it, remembering the past... Qin Liuxi had already cast a Soul Stabilizing Talisman on Black Impermanence and dispersed some merit to him. Black Impermanence was moved to tears, “Sir, how could this be proper?” Behind them, the Eastern Ghost King and Kuang Shan watched enviously; they too wanted to be burned and then be given some merits? Qin Liuxi, unimpressed by Black Impermanence’s moved expression, pushed him away and walked towards the scent, “Coming out or not? Kuang Shan, bring the sweat towel.” To catch it. “Mercy, spare my life,” a milky voice weakly sounded. Qin Liuxi looked over, and a little creature emerged from the ground, one whisker, two whiskers, three whiskers, until its entire body was fully visible, complete with head and tail, resembling a human form. A ginseng spirit. Qin Liuxi’s eyes lit up, she squatted down and picked it up, “A thousand-year-old ginseng spirit, you’ve even cultivated spiritual wisdom. Hey, this place doesn’t seem to have much Spiritual Energy; how did you get here?” As she spoke, she reached out her hand, plucked a whisker, shook off the mud, and chewed it in her mouth. Sweet, fragrant, full of Spiritual Energy, very nourishing! Unexpectedly finding such a delightful surprise in Geng Cave, what a jackpot. The ginseng spirit howled in pain, wishing it could shrink its whole root back in, tears streaming down, washing the mud off its body. Qin Liuxi was even more satisfied, tempted to pluck another. “Sir, eating too much ginseng can cause nosebleeds; you’re still young,” Black Impermanence dryly advised. So, spare the child, it’s still young. After all, it’s a ginseng spirit that had cultivated spiritual wisdom, cultivation isn’t easy, it would really be hurt, and that would be a loss of merit. Qin Liuxi held back, withdrew her hand, and glared at it, “Why did you run? I chased you until I was out of breath; and what’s so wrong about eating one of your whiskers?” Ginseng spirit: “!” Having lived for so many years, it had never seen anyone who ate its limbs and yet was so righteous in doing so. Ginseng’s life is harsh. “Having said that, where do you come from? Were you born with spiritual wisdom here?” Qin Liuxi asked, holding its hand. The ginseng spirit sniffed, saying, “I have always been here, for many years now.” Qin Liuxi raised an eyebrow, her figure flickered, and she returned to the boulder, closed her eyes briefly, then opened her Heavenly Eye, carefully examining the terrain of the nearby mountains, her fingers calculating for quite some time before she said, “No wonder, there’s actually a Dragon Vein hidden here, and this mountain is the dragon’s belly.” Dragon Vein, a feng shui treasure spot, abundant in Spiritual Energy, facilitates double the result with half the effort in Cultivation. Hence, from this place emerged a ginseng spirit, and also a young Ghost King like Kuang Shan. When Kuang Shan heard that there was a Dragon Vein here, his eyes lit up, and he was not foolish; knowing Dragon Veins are feng shui treasure spots, he realized why his Cultivation felt especially smooth. The Eastern Ghost King felt a bit sour, maybe switch locations? Black Impermanence, following Qin Liuxi’s lead, also glanced over and said, “Indeed, I never paid much attention before.” “You’re underground, unconcerned about the things on the surface,” Qin Liuxi huffed lightly and frowned, saying, “If Si Luo has been here, and if Uncle Le was swallowed by him as well, could they also be here?” “Nothing of that sort.” Hmm? Everyone followed the sound and looked. The Little Ginseng Spirit was struggling awkwardly, feeling somewhat embarrassed with everyone staring, and stiffened his body. “What did you say?” Qin Liuxi squinted her eyes and asked, “Do you know the whereabouts of the Northern Ghost King?” The Little Ginseng Spirit’s eyes turned red, tears that had stopped began to fall again as he cried, saying, “Gone, Uncle Le was entirely swallowed by that Evil Ghost.” “Little Ginseng Spirit, you actually saw it?” Black Impermanence was somewhat surprised. “I saw,” The Little Ginseng Spirit used his little whisker to wipe his tears, saying, “That day, there was a red moon, with especially pure Moonlight, and I was absorbing the Moonlight to Cultivate.” It pointed at the boulder under their feet, saying, “Uncle Le suddenly came, said he wanted to meet an old friend, and asked me to leave.” The Little Ginseng Spirit recounted what happened on the night of the red moon. He had known Zhou Le for many years, and cultivated under Zhou Le’s protection. They developed a good friendship, but to meet a friend, he was asked to leave, which made him feel a bit sour. Since it was a friend, on introduction, that friend’s friend should be its friend too. It naturally disagreed, verbally complied, but slinked away to a large tree not far from the boulder, hiding in the foliage and concealed its energy, conveniently spying. “I, I didn’t mean to spy intentionally. Just curious, who the friend would be, as Uncle Le was dressed like a vibrant peacock,” Little Ginseng Spirit mildly defended himself. “Then not long after, I saw someone came. Oh, saying it’s a person, it’s not quite that but rather a mass of air, a dense black air, almost covering the red moon, which turned into a man upon touching the ground,” the Little Ginseng Spirit, tilting his head, continued, “Then I saw Uncle Le rush up, and they embraced.” Qin Liuxi: “?” Eastern Ghost King: “Northern and this Evil Ghost are lovers?” Kuang Shan was a bit confused. “Then, I saw that man, smilingly stroking Uncle Le’s face, said something, opened his mouth and swallowed him whole,” the Little Ginseng Spirit started to cry again, saying, “I was terrified at that time, accidentally revealed my energy, and that man immediately came over.” The Little Ginseng Spirit sobbed, saying, “I thought my ginseng life was over, wanted to flee but couldn’t move my feet. He was so terrifying, so evil, ah.” “Stop crying, then what happened?” Qin Liuxi impatiently asked. The Little Ginseng Spirit burped, wanting to cry but dared not, and said, “He almost caught me when suddenly, as if he heard some noise, he went towards another mountain. I saw him leave and immediately escaped; it truly scared me to death.” It’s a pity, after escaping death, it deliberately hid these days, not daring to reveal itself. Hearing the noise now, it wondered whether it was Zhou Le coming back, carefully concealing its energy, just wanting to poke out and take a look, only to be discovered by Qin Liuxi immediately. Wow, how sharp are people today.
